After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 133 Cultivation Mutation: Wild Beast Battle Body! (Please Subscribe)
Ancestral Temple, East Side Hall.

This place has become Shen Can's residence alone, while Huo Xian has moved to the west side hall.

The east side hall also has a three-room layout with rooms on the left, center, and right. Shen Can's bed was hidden by a wooden screen.

The remaining spacious area inside the stone hall, apart from the wooden shelves placed against the wall, consisted of unfolded animal hide scrolls.

Most of these animal skin scrolls depict a wild beast that resembles everything yet resembles nothing at all.

The wild beasts are drawn very strangely, so strangely that just looking at them gives you a sense of chaos.

There are dozens of these portraits laid out, and hundreds more rolled up and placed on bookshelves.

Besides the images of wild beasts, there were also some animal skin scrolls with lists of medicinal herbs written on them, casually placed on tables, wooden shelves, and other places.

Wow!
At this moment, inside the stone hall with its doors and windows tightly closed, the animal skin scrolls rustled, and invisible energy surged around them.

Shen Can, sitting cross-legged in the main hall, looked inward at himself. The blood energy within his Heavenly Vein was as viscous as mercury paste, bursting forth with immense vitality.

A large portion of the medicinal power derived from the Yuanxue Pill enters the flesh and blood, repeatedly cleansing the bones throughout the body.

With repeated washing, the bones began to gleam with a pale gold hue, like gold and jade.

But that wasn't all. The bones, like ravenous beasts, began to devour the blood energy within the Heavenly Vein.

The medicinal power originally intended to advance to the seventh level of the Heavenly Vein Realm was now being consumed in the bones throughout his body.

Not only was the medicinal power completely absorbed, but the blood energy in the Heavenly Vein was also being rapidly depleted.

Seeing this situation, Shen Can raised his hand and beckoned to the table, and a wooden box flew in front of him and opened.

The box contained Yuanxue Pills, which were even more potent than Xueqi Pills, and Shen Can had been mixing them together.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the pill and put it in his mouth.

After the pill entered the mouth and transformed into medicinal power, it was carried by the blood energy to all the bones in the body.

As he swallowed pill after pill, Shen Can clearly felt his physical strength increasing, and various beast patterns on his body surface condensed like beast scales.

The bones have changed even more; each bone has turned from pale gold to golden yellow, and animal patterns have emerged on them.

At this moment, the power seemed to have seeped into the depths of the bones, rather than just floating on the surface.

……

after one day.

Shen Can's body shimmered with mysterious light, his breathing was like thunder, and his powerful blood energy roared within his body.

His bones radiated a dazzling light, and his entire body suddenly swelled up.

When he transformed into the Kui Niu god form, he also had a human form, and his size did not increase.

At this moment, Shen Can clearly felt his bones growing rapidly, and the beast patterns on his bones and body surface shone with golden light, showing signs of expansion.

Furthermore, during this process of extension, the bear stripes, kui stripes, tiger stripes, and other patterns that were previously mutually exclusive were quickly merged together.

The five animal patterns, after being kneaded together, form a composite animal pattern.

Shen Can was taken aback by this change.

For the past two years, he has been deriving the fusion of the five beast forms into one, spending countless years of his lifespan in the process.

Now, we can solve the difficult problems at the same time while making a breakthrough.

At this moment, Shen Can's entire body was rapidly growing larger, and a primal aura surged out from the main hall.

A colossal figure, five zhang tall and covered in scales, materialized, resembling…

Shen Can raised his hand to look at his hands, then at his legs. He had hands and feet, but he had horns on his head and wings on his back.

His divine sense enveloped his entire body, and he clearly saw that his bones had grown larger. Although his size and appearance had changed, the framework formed by his bones was still human-shaped.

His perception and thoughts remained unchanged.

He is still a human being.

But after transforming into his beast form, Shen Can felt his strength surge several times over, enough to kick a dozen of his former selves to death with a single kick.

"return!"

In an instant, Shen Can's blood and energy returned to normal, all the strange phenomena that had arisen around him subsided, and he returned to his human form.

Apart from his tattered and clattering clothes, it was as if nothing had happened.

Blood and Qi surged within the seventh Heavenly Meridian in his body, propelling him to the seventh level of the Heavenly Meridian.

"Change!"

Rumble!
Blood and energy surged like thunder, and the beast patterns on the bones, flesh, and body surface radiated a mysterious light.

In an instant, his body swelled up, accompanied by a clear doubling of his power, and his blood and energy flowed from his meridians to every inch of his body.

"return!"

……

Inside the stone palace.

After trying it more than ten times, Shen Can realized that it was not like beast transformation at all, but more like a kind of transformation ability.

During the process of change, he could clearly feel the path of blood and qi flowing into his bones.

This means that there are clues to follow, and clues can be transformed into methods.

To explain the origin of this change, it all started when he wanted to cultivate the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) together.

After all, he had already deduced the corresponding cultivation methods of the five elements, so theoretically, there was no problem in unifying the five beast forms into one.

Then obstacles arose, and Shen Can thought of unifying the five beast forms into one, just like a true dragon, even if it resulted in a hybrid that resembled nothing else.

He's a pragmatist; he doesn't care if the beast form is ugly, as long as it's durable.

Over the past two years, Shen Can has tried to deduce the possibilities time and time again, but to no avail. He has been unable to find a way to bring together the five wild beasts.

There are already more than a hundred fusion beast diagrams stored in the stone hall. These are all the fusion beast images he deduced each time. He drew them out for reference.

it's good now.

In the process of cultivation, one may try to cultivate without intention but fail, while one may cultivate without intention but succeed.

The complete lack of preparation for the Five Beasts to unite as one was like all the previous efforts being wasted on the little dragonfish.

Shen Can found a piece of animal skin and drew his transformed appearance.

From this painting, he saw the divine forms of five wild beasts. Even after the five divine forms merged into his body, he did not lose the traces of his human race.

This reminded Shen Can that when he first transformed into the form of the Kui Niu, it was only 'similar in spirit' rather than becoming a one-legged Kui.

Shen Can sat naked in the stone hall, lost in thought for a long time.

The conclusion was that luck had finally turned around for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

……

Half an hour later.

Shen Can concealed his divine sense, and a phantom image appeared within the sacrificial cauldron in his body.

[You've been deducing the combined form of the five beasts every day, even to the point of going astray in your cultivation. It's understandable that you feel frustrated because you unexpectedly achieved it by accident during your practice.]

[You spent fifty years of your lifespan transforming into a human-beast form, carefully experiencing the changes and feeling the flow of blood and energy within your celestial meridians.]

……

Three hundred years later, you finally broke through this unexpected opportunity and gained good fortune. Combining the subsequent Heavenly Meridian Technique of the Five Stances Technique, you created the Five Beasts Return to Truth Technique.

However, this cultivation process still makes you feel that this unexpected change is not unique.

After all, any martial artist can activate the blood energy of the Heavenly Vein to cleanse their bones and flesh.

You transformed into the Kui Niu divine form in front of the Heavenly Vein, and now you have unexpectedly transformed into the Five Beasts divine form. This seems to have some connection with the Fifth-Order Beast Form Realm.

If you try to rewind the cultivation process of breaking through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Meridian, you can clearly feel the blood and energy surging into your bones and reaching every part of your body.

As your blood and energy repeatedly wash over your flesh and bones, they continuously strengthen, laying the foundation for the transformation of your physical body.

This makes you feel even more strongly that any human being can cultivate in this way.

Having the experience of deriving a fourth-order divine power into a third-order minor divine power, you can't help but wonder if the transformation of the human body into a wild beast body, resulting in a sharp increase in combat power, is similar to the 'minor divine power' change of a fifth-order beast form divine power.

You begin to try to deduce a corresponding method from this approach.

……

[Deduction complete. You have preliminarily deduced a secret technique for tempering muscles, bones, and flesh with blood and qi.]

The total cost was 3,600 years.

[Lifespan of the Wild Beast: 1012]

Inside the stone palace.

Shen Can slowly opened his eyes, and it took a long time for his eyes to regain their senses.

To be honest, this breakthrough to the seventh level of the Heavenly Vein Realm really felt like a sudden enlightenment, and I made rapid progress in the derivation of the Dharma.

After resting for about half an hour, Shen Can released his divine sense.

In my perception, the stone hall was filled with the five elements of source power, with the wood element source power being two to three times that of the other source powers.

In an instant, the Five Beasts Celestial Vein Technique began to operate, and the source energy was immediately drawn into his body. Within his body's celestial veins, bones, and flesh, combined beast patterns emerged, radiating profound light.

It quickly absorbs the five elements' source power, and a portion of it is sent into the Heavenly Vein as nourishment for the blood and qi.

After cultivating for a while, Shen Can changed his clothes and opened the stone hall door.

Outside the gate, Ah Yu stood three zhang away from the main gate, like a gatekeeper.

Above the spirit tree, the phoenixes huddled with their heads down, not even making a chirping sound.

"Brother A-Can, have you finished your training?"

Firefish didn't ask why there was such a big commotion or why the cultivation took so long. While Shen Can was cultivating, he stood guard outside the door, blocking anyone who came looking for Shen Can.

Shen Can nodded and walked towards the ancestral temple.

Upon entering the ancestral temple, my divine sense landed on the sacrificial vessel where the middle-aged elders were offering sacrifices.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the deceased is still asleep.

Regarding the issue of martial artists' cultivation being corrupted by beast-like transformation, I can only wait for another opportunity to consult this senior.

into the night.

Shen Can did not cultivate; instead, he quietly left the clan and headed towards the depths of the northern mountains.

The valley is located within the Giant Mountain Range. North of the valley, beneath some towering giant mountains, lies a dense and secluded forest, several times more terrifying than the outside world.

Roar!
At dawn, a giant black-scaled python, seven or eight zhang in size, appeared, with a single horn on its head.

At this moment, the ferocity that should have been in the long, narrow, triangular eyes of this monstrous beast was gone, replaced by terror.

It roamed wildly through the dark forest, its severed tail dripping blood.

Behind them, a humanoid behemoth flapped its wings, staggering and crashing into trees as thick as two people could hug, before stumbling and chasing after them.

Finally, after getting used to flying by flapping his wings, Shen Can fell from the sky and landed on the broken body of the giant python.

The giant python, in pain, turned around, raised its massive head, and lunged to bite him.

Boom!

Before the giant python could even extend its head, Shen Can punched it.

Click!

The terrifying force of the punch pierced through the giant python's skull, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere.

The giant python's raised upper body swayed and crashed down, its massive body convulsing and snapping the surrounding trees, tearing up several feet of soil.

Shen Can stood on the giant python's skeleton, the strong smell of blood filling his nostrils, but his eyes remained clear and did not turn red because of the blood.

This is a giant python comparable to the leader of the Azure Phoenix, and it is at the same realm as Shen Can after his breakthrough.

However, after Shen Can transformed into his beast form, he was easily crushed without even a chance to fight back.

Without lingering, Shen Can tucked the python into his personal magic pouch and headed back towards the tribe.

This encounter with the giant python made him increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.

After transforming into beast form, its combat power increased by more than two or three times, becoming increasingly like a martial arts supernatural ability.

After his transformation, Shen Can felt as if he could crush a martial artist at the ninth level of the Heavenly Meridian Realm.

After experiencing it firsthand, he understood it even better.

"Let's call it the Wild Beast Battle Body Technique!"

On the way back, Shen Can gave a name to the secret method he had deduced for tempering bones, muscles, and flesh.

Whether my conjecture is correct or not, we can prove it by testing it with a few members of the clan.

If other members of the clan can also cultivate this method and transform into a similar wild beast battle body, then it means that this is a method that can be cultivated.

Of course, practicing this method carries the risk of being corrupted by wild beasts, so one should still be careful.

However, when I talked to the older generation before, they also said that one can increase resistance to the risk of beastification by tempering one's will.

This method should be practiced with a will-tempering aid similar to the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Prison'.

It was three days later when they arrived at the tribe.

Elder Huo Qi has also advanced to the fifth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm. He originally planned to entrust the clan affairs to Shen Can during the few days he was breaking through.

Unexpectedly, Shen Can wasn't home.

In the clan palace.

Huo Qi didn't ask Shen Can where he went.

"Ah Can, the clansmen have already compiled the count of the number of martial artists within the clan that you asked us to count."

"Currently, there are about 140 Heavenly Vein warriors in the clan, with the highest level being the fifth level of Heavenly Vein. Including myself, there are three of us."

There are four people at the fourth level of the Heavenly Meridian Realm, thirty-three people at the third level of the Heavenly Meridian Realm, and the rest are at the first or second level of the Heavenly Meridian Realm.

Currently, there are 17,600 registered martial artists at the Mountain Opening Realm, including civilians, and 42,393 martial artists at the Stone Splitting Realm.

There are seven second-tier wizards and twenty-one first-tier wizards.

Huoqi presented the statistical data, but his account was not entirely accurate.

He didn't know how many of his people in Jidi had Heavenly Veins. Although the people from the volcano were rotated northward, it took at least half a year for them to be rotated.

Therefore, there are more Heavenly Vein Warriors than there are now.

Finally, Huo Qi added, "However, I think the clan leader has been gone for so long, he should have broken through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm long ago."

"Furthermore, two more Azure Phoenixes have broken through to the third rank."

After saying that, Huoqi grabbed a new animal hide scroll.

"By the way, Huo Zhong sent someone to report that he has improved the heavy sword again with your guidance."

The warriors of Ji County have personally tested it and found it very effective; it can now be used to equip our tribal troops.

The so-called improved heavy sword is based on the original heavy sword, with a longer handle and a thicker blade. It is also double-edged and cannot be used by anyone other than the strongest martial artist.

Shen Can prepared to equip the Yanwu soldiers.

Now that the clan has so many pioneers and celestial warriors, it's time to assemble this elite clan army, which has been selected intermittently.

With the continuous flow of resources from Ji, the tribe also continuously sent out small quantities of crafted weapons and armor.

The strengths and weaknesses of these items during their battles with Xiaoyang will be sent back to the tribe, where the tribe's craftsmen will then make improvements little by little.

In addition, after a year of continuous transportation, the clan's archives have been completed.

He had collected over 23,000 volumes of various books, and sometimes Shen Can would go there to look for books.

……

After Huo Qi finished explaining the situation, he was about to leave when Shen Can stopped him, saying, "If you have anything to tell the clan leader, bring it with you when Cang Luan returns next time."

"I will write down the clan's development during this period and bring it to the clan leader."

Huo Qi went back to write a letter, and Shen Can also went back and started writing letters.

He planned to ask Huotang for more of Xiaoyang's corpse bones, as well as the corpse bones of Blood Witches and Blood Warriors, to build a place for tempering one's will.

The cultivation method of the Wild Beast Battle Body involves beast transformation and erosion. Even if he were to let his clansmen cultivate it, he would still select warriors with strong willpower.

In addition, even if one does not cultivate the methods of the Wild Beast Battle Body, honing one's willpower is of great benefit to the clan's cultivation.

……

Thistlefield.

Motoyamabe.

The vast city shimmered in the sunlight, bustling with activity, and a constant stream of people came and went at the city gates.

Every now and then, a group of tribal soldiers would rush out of the city and head towards the distant mountain range.

The city now has a population of 100,000, and they have begun to try farming, but the constant invasions by the owl yang cause the fields to be continuously damaged.

With so many people, the large amount of food they need to consume every day is naturally supplied by the Blazing Flame Tribe in secret, in addition to the food they eat while hunting.

Huotang grabbed the letter, first inquired about the situation within the clan, and then looked through Shen Can's letter.

"You want the remains?"

This surprised Huotang. Ah-Can had asked for all sorts of things over the past year, but this was the first time he had asked for a corpse.

at this time.

A hundred miles outside Yuanshan, a bronze chariot rolled along, followed by more than a hundred riders, all riding antelope-like beasts with a single horn on their heads and thick limbs.

A rider of the antelope-like beast came from afar and arrived outside the chariot.

"Report: There is a newly established human tribe about 100,000 people a hundred miles away."

A moment later, a voice that seemed to be talking to itself came from inside the bronze chariot.

"A population of 100,000 is barely enough to be used by the Luo River."

As the sound faded, the bronze chariot continued its rolling advance.
