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

Chapter 163 The culprit was actually myself!
The Three-Headed Clan was also a foreign tribe that once existed in the Yongyi region, but it was wiped out as early as when the Yongshanbo tribe rose to power.

It is said that in a faraway place, there exists a three-headed kingdom.

This is similar to the ancestral land of the human race.

Humans migrated outwards from their ancestral lands to expand their living space, and other races did the same, such as the Xiaoyang race, which is said to also have a Xiaoyang Kingdom.

Yan Wanyun regulated his breathing, while Ji Tianlong, the sacrificial spirit, fell into a daze after saying a few words.

Shen Can recalled the scene he had captured from Yan Wanyun. The reason he had Yan Wanyun demonstrate it was to capture the deeper level of the operating script of this secret technique.

Now, besides wanting to help Yan Wanyun get rid of his problems, Shen Can also wants to cultivate this secret technique.

In this way, even though the Blazing Flame Headquarters was hiding in the valley, he could still spare a part of his body to guard the ancestral temple.

[You spent thirty years resuming your cultivation of the Three-Headed Secret Technique, advancing all the way from the beginning to the Divine Treasure Realm, covering your entire body with three-headed tattoos, and transforming yourself into a giant cocoon.]

[You begin to construct the basic runes you sensed from Yan Wanyun within your body, attempting to simulate the state of Yan Wanyun's soul being devoured.]

Thirty years have passed, and you have failed.

……

[You continue to deduce Yan Wanyun's state, using yourself as the foundation, and gradually shape the changes of this three-headed secret technique within your body.]

Gradually, you realized that your deductions about Yan Wanyun's state only achieved a superficial resemblance, failing to capture his essence, and so you stopped deducing.

Inside the ancestral temple, after Shen Can woke up, he looked at Yan Wanyun, who was still meditating, but did not wake him.

Yan Wanyun has cultivated for decades, essentially refining himself, while the person behind the scenes is like a skilled puppeteer.

No matter how he simulates, even if he deduces the exact same state as Yan Wanyun, he can only be Yan Wanyun, the passive party.

What he needs to deduce is the 'puppet master', to control Yan Wanyun, this 'puppet', from the perspective of the 'puppet master'.

……

"Chief Yan, do you still remember what that mural looked like?"

Half a day later, after Yan Wanyun woke up, Shen Can asked him.

"Of course, I remember it very clearly."

Shen Can took out a jade tablet from his magic pouch and pushed it toward Yan Wanyun.

Yan Wanyun held the jade tablet in place and began to carve on it.

A three-headed tattoo image appeared on the jade tablet, the three heads blurred, standing upright.

"That's how it looks, but it's missing a trace of mystic light. I couldn't see the portrait clearly when the mystic light was on."

Only after the mystical light entered my body did I see a portrait with three heads. The portrait quickly lost its spiritual power and shattered into fragments.

After finishing the drawing, Yan Wanyun stepped aside to let Shen Can watch.

Then, to Yan Wanyun's surprise and doubt, Shen Can raised his hand, his fingers landing on the stroke he had just completed, like a carving knife.

Shen Can did not erase Yan Wanyun's painting, but instead drew runes on it.

As the winding, symbolic scales fell onto the mural, the three-headed phantom suddenly began to possess more divine charm.

Sometimes, Shen Can would change the runes, making them either longer or curled up into a ball, all of which would fall into the three-headed portrait.

The jade stone shimmered with light, giving its scales a subtle glow.

Shen Can stepped aside to let Yan Wanyun see.

Something feels off here.

Yan Wanyun refers to the neck area of ​​the three-headed tribe.

Upon hearing this, Shen Can began to alter the position of his neck.

He saw these variant runes inside Yan Wanyun's body.

These runes formed the bloodline that enveloped Yan Wanyun's body, thus supporting the evolution of the three-headed tattoo.

Shen Can wanted to reshape this process and then take control of this secret technique from its source.

As long as one can master the secret technique, one can naturally find a way to treat the symptoms and find a way to cure Yan Wanyun.

In the days that followed, jade tablets were erected in the ancestral temple. Yan Wanyun painted the tablets first, and Shen Can added their spirit later.

When problems arise, Yan Wanyun will reactivate the three-headed tattoo, recreating the scene of his soul being devoured.

Fortunately, with the presence of the Spirit Maiden Tianlong, who uses her fighting spirit to help Yan Wanyun suppress the riot of the three-headed tattoo, the situation is much better.

Through Yan Wanyun's personal account, Shen Can finally grasped the essence of this three-headed secret technique.

Surprisingly, it bears some resemblance to the Wild Beast Battle Body he deduced.

All of these require the condensation of runes within the body's flesh and blood; this is the foundation of operating the secret techniques.

Wild beast runes allow one to control their battle body through beast patterns, unleashing several times their original combat power.

This three-headed rune connects the three figures.

The three figures naturally had a master and a deputy; the master was the one who cast the spell, and the deputy was the one who passively complied.

……

Within the sacrificial cauldron inside Shen Can's body, a blurry figure sat cross-legged.

Before him was a three-dimensional human figure, which looked exactly like Yan Wanyun.

This Yan Wanyun was entirely formed by the blood vessels within his body. The blood vessels were constantly changing, and basic runes would occasionally appear.

These blood lines are what Yan Wanyun cultivated; they form the entire structure of the secret technique, extending to every corner of his body, starting from his flesh and touching his soul.

As the figure who had been deduced raised his hand, the blood lines on 'Yan Wanyun' lit up, and his entire body began to rapidly differentiate as if several figures had overlapped.

In the blink of an eye, one 'Yan Wanyun' transformed into four three-dimensional figures.

Three figures are in human form, and one is in the form of a three-headed tribe member.

Each of the four figures had broken or missing parts on its body.

When they overlap, some missing parts are filled in, but some overlap, and some parts are still missing.

Of the four 3D diagrams, only the figure of 'Yan Wanyun' moved the most smoothly.

Based on Yan Wanyun's movements, deduce the meridian operations within the other two humanoid figures.

The three are compared to determine the most suitable operating mode when they are running simultaneously.

In the 2330th year, you finally figured out the workings of the entire Three-Headed Secret Technique.

At this point, you realize that these operational mechanisms are not perfect and have many loopholes.

This indicates that the person who performed this technique did not possess a perfect secret method.

You begin to try to repair it, searching for the perfect way to make it work.

Two hundred years later, you have reorganized the missing, overlapping, and obscure parts of the system.

So you began to delve into reverse engineering, deriving corresponding secret cultivation methods based on the flow of energy.
Another hundred years passed, and you finally deduced the method for cultivating this secret technique.

This secret technique is difficult to perform without a strong spiritual sense. It requires the use of a soul seed separated from the spiritual sense as a catalyst. It is best to have a nourishing and calming spiritual object as an aid.

……

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can was the only one there. He slowly opened his eyes and reviewed the contents of the deduced secret technique.

During the deduction process, he also considered ways to break it. It would be very difficult to perfectly break this secret technique. Take Yan Wanyun for example, his whole body was already covered with blood vessels, and he had almost completed the self-forging of the 'puppet'. He was only missing his soul being swallowed up and possessed by the mastermind.

In this situation, breaking the secret technique would be tantamount to destroying Yan Wanyun himself.

……

The Western Camp of the Three Fire Division.

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Blood Sea Guards lined up, and as someone roared, the tens of thousands of them shouted in unison.

A surging aura of malevolence rose up, and the blood energy surged thousands of feet, condensing into a sea of ​​malevolent mist tinged with blood.

Amidst the surging blood and qi, the lingering image of Xiao Yang emerged, emitting cries and wails.

Yan Wanyun was surrounded by thousands of people, and the murderous aura and blood mist repeatedly washed over him.

In the distance, Shen Can quietly watched Yan Wanyun.

kill!kill!kill!

The bloodthirsty aura continued to rise, and the crimson color had completely enveloped Yan Wanyun's body.

Unfortunately, these Blood Sea Guard warriors were not the most elite group; in Shen Can's view, they could only be considered barely passable.

The resentment and malevolent energy originating from Xiaoyang gathered more and more, and began to wash away the three-headed tattoo on Yan Wanyun's body.

Finally, the black three-headed tattoo lit up and suddenly came to life. As if stimulated, it became extremely violent and began to frantically tear at Yan Wanyun's flesh, trying to rip out his soul completely.

In a daze, overlapping phantom faces appeared on Yan Wanyun's face.

"Gather!"

At the same time, around the Blood Sea Guards' formation, varying numbers of Heavenly Vein warriors released their own blood energy, surging towards the center along with the Blood Sea Guards' baleful aura.

The resentment from Xiaoyang materialized, letting out a sharp roar, and its afterimages crashed into Yan Wanyun one after another.

The resentment emanating from Xiao Yang made the two heads tearing apart Yan Wanyun's soul even more violent.

The two heads swelled up and grew larger, transforming into ferocious fangs. Their gaping mouths were aimed at Yan Wanyun, sucking wildly.

The illusory image that appeared on Yan Wanyun's face began to take on a clearer shape.

"It's Xiaoyang!"

Previously it was just speculation, but now we finally have an accurate judgment.

As the Blood Sea Guards began to disperse, Shen Can approached Yan Wanyun and transformed his divine sense into slender silver needles, which he then plunged into Yan Wanyun's body.

Wherever the divine sense needles landed, they were all key nodes in the meridians within the body.

After the popping sounds, the three-headed tattooed figure appeared as if struck by lightning, its aura suddenly dropping sharply.

Taking this opportunity, Yan Wanyun regained his composure and suppressed the three-headed tattoo.

“It’s indeed it!”

After calming his breathing, Yan Wanyun's expression remained unchanged, as he had already anticipated this.

Now it's just completely confirmed.

It is the branch of the Mu Yan meridian, which is the main branch of the Mu Xiao.

"It seems that back in the Mukang tribe's territory, I stole the opportunity from a certain Xiaoyang of the Mukang branch."

Yan Wanyun spoke up, saying that if he hadn't obtained the three-headed mural, then the one who obtained it would most likely be one of the owl-like yang from the Mu Kang branch.

This owl gained an opportunity and was eventually secretly captured by the Mu Yan Clan Master, thus allowing the owl to replace the Mu Kang Clan Master.

In this way, Mu Xiao can control the Mu Kang branch.

Mu Xiao was someone Shen Can had never met.

This cultivator, whose power may overwhelm Ji County, is definitely a formidable opponent.

They returned to the clan hall and took their seats.

"The only way to eliminate it completely is to suppress Mu Xiao. The silver needle technique I used can only temporarily suppress it."

To treat the changes in Yan Wanyun's body, Shen Can offered a method to sever the circulation of the Three-Headed Secret Technique.

Just like when he helped Yan Wanyun, of course it's unrealistic for him to be inseparable from Yan Wanyun.

Therefore, it is necessary to forge several silver needles using high-grade ore, and then Shen Can needs to personally insert them into the key points of Yan Wanyun's body.

Because Yan Wanyun's body was already filled with the Three Heads Secret Technique meridians, it was impossible to completely suppress them. However, a portion of the main operating meridians could be severed, thus weakening the pull on his soul.

Currently, only Shen Can truly understands Yan Wanyun's internal condition, allowing him to administer the acupuncture more effectively.

"enough."

Yan Wanyun remained calm. He had tried many methods, but none of them were very effective. The method Shen Can gave him was the most effective one.

"If I weaken my secret techniques, it's best to maintain my combat strength. At least I'll have a chance to make a move. Otherwise, if I encounter Mu Xiao, I'll be captured without resistance."

Shen Can explained the method of using silver needles to cut the meridians in detail, and then said, "The better the quality of the ore, the better the effect. The best ore is one that can resonate with the divine sense. My clan does not have such high-quality ore."

"I'll figure out a way to deal with the ore, but we'll need the help of the Fire Temple Temple."

After Yan Wanyun finished speaking, he got up to leave. He had been staying in the Three Fire Tribe for more than ten days, and he was still very concerned about the Ancient Land of Liuming.

After taking two steps, Yan Wanyun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shen Can. "You should still remember when the Aoshan tribe went north and got entangled with me, Yan Ran."

Shen Can nodded.

"The Aoshan tribe has a Kui Niu war drum that was made by the Yongshan tribe back then. The reason why Aoshan went north was because the Kui Niu war drum was played."

Legend has it that when the Yongshan tribe collapsed, countless other tribes in Yongyi fought over it, and the Aoshan tribe seized the Kui Niu war drum.

This Kui Niu war drum was made from the bones and hide of a Kui Niu that the Marquis of Yongshan personally hunted deep in the wilderness.

Since the fall of the Yongshan tribe and the theft of the war drums by Aoshan, this was the first time in eight thousand years that the drums had sounded, prompting the Aoshan warriors to march north.

As he spoke, Yan Wanyun pointed eastward, "Although the Jishan tribe has failed to protect Jishan over the years, this is not solely due to Jishan."

Jishan has done enough to guard the northern border of Yongyi.

The people of Yongyi have long lost the spirit and ambition that they possessed during the reign of the Marquis of Yongshan.

When the Yongshan tribe was destroyed, other tribes flocked to Yongshan to plunder.

Only Jishan sent warriors to try to save a portion of the Yongshan people. Although they ultimately failed, they did not lose the will of the northern people.

Based on the deeds of the Jishan ancestors and their generations of resistance against the Xiaoyang, even in this dire situation, I still have faith in the Jishan tribe.

After speaking, Yan Wanyun clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shen Can, then turned and walked outside.

His purpose in saying these words was simple: he wanted to vouch for Jishan.

Such petty scheming and despicable behavior is only acceptable within Yongyi; it's unnecessary in Ji.

Watching Yan Wanyun disappear outside the city, Shen Can pondered, recalling the time when Aoshan went north, based on Yan Wanyun's words.

Just then... as he condensed the power of the 108 Desolations, he seemed to hear the roar of the Kui Niu, and he transformed into the Kui Niu divine form for the first time.

In other words, Ao Shan went north to find him!

Suddenly, Shen Can realized that he himself was the culprit.
