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

Chapter 179 The Scorching Dilemma: Go and Destroy the Human Temple
Inside the house.

The shaman was treating six warriors who had been agitated, but the calming and sedative remedies he gave them were not very effective.

Especially for the Blood Sea Guardians, the medicine had no effect whatsoever.

A pair of blood-red eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Upon seeing Shen Can, it even struggled to come up and bite him.

"Shi Lei, a second-level Heavenly Vein, comes from the Niushan tribe in the North."

This is a warrior who joined the Blood Sea Guard back in the North and has long since integrated into the Blazing Flame Tribe.

"what!"

At this moment, another figure staggered out of the purgatory, his figure swaying from side to side. When he saw the clan soldiers who tried to stop him, he raised his hand and struck them.

"Xiaoyang, you deserve to die! Kill him!"

After a great deal of effort, they finally managed to subdue the man and force-feed him a large amount of anesthetic.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the camp, the number of people who were bound reached twenty-one. Fortunately, several more days passed, and no one went insane. Those who were able to hold on at the beginning had held on.

Most of the tribespeople who were traumatized recovered after treatment.

……

"I saw my doll, and it's smiling at me."

A smile appeared on Shi Lei's cold face, as if he were lost in memories.

The shaman standing nearby quickly wrote down what Shi Lei had said.

At this moment, all the martial artists who had entered Purgatory began to recount the scenes they had encountered there.

After everyone had spoken, they all invariably encountered their own "Achilles' heel," mostly related to family and children, with a few pursuing martial arts and others liking shiny treasures.

Stimulated by the resentment of the owl in purgatory, coupled with the illusion deliberately created by the sacrificial spirit, the flaws were directly brought out.

These are all veterans who have been selected; if ordinary clansmen were to undergo the trial, even more loopholes would likely be discovered.

Of course, there was also good news: more than half of the veterans, despite having weaknesses, maintained their original intentions.

In Shen Can's view, the fight against beastification is actually a back-and-forth tug-of-war process, with one's true nature always suppressing one's beastly desires.

As for completely suppressing animalistic desires, that's impossible. Even ordinary people who don't cultivate still have all sorts of thoughts.

An idea is just an idea; it can be shattered in an instant, and it is not necessarily affected by anything.

Shen Can needs to select people who can suppress their desires with willpower.

Subsequently, Shen Can transferred a group of witch doctors from the Witch Temple to live directly with these veterans and observe their condition at all times.

The daily changes were recorded, and a summary was made every month, followed by a final summary every three months, for a year of follow-up observation.

The entire training method for the Wild Beast Battle Body was also included in the tribe's core heritage.

Shen Can returned to the ancestral temple and began a period of seclusion, continuing to integrate the tribe's martial arts heritage.

Back when he broke through to the fourth rank, he noticed from the martial arts manuals among the spoils of war that many of them were poorly repaired.

Many good martial arts techniques and skills work very smoothly at the beginning, but problems arise later.

Therefore, Shen Can plans to summarize and unify the Five-Stage Technique, the Five Elements Heavenly Meridian Method, and the subsequent Five Elements Divine Treasury Method, and compile them into the Five Desolate Classics, the clan-protecting techniques of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

The Five Desolations Classic was just a name he made up on the spot; what it was called was unimportant.

The important thing is to make it a complete system.

The lack of a systematic approach to spiritual practice was another major problem he discovered while traveling.

In Jidi, many superior tribes actually do not have compatible tempering methods and celestial vein methods.

One can cultivate one method of tempering and refinement, another method of cultivating the Heavenly Meridians, and even at the Heavenly Meridian Realm, one can switch between cultivating several Heavenly Meridian methods.

Perhaps for geniuses, changing cultivation methods at will is nothing, but for most people, who are of average talent, switching cultivation methods is actually a detriment to themselves.

Of course, the root cause of this situation is natural disasters and man-made calamities, leading to the interruption of traditions.

For each department, it was already extremely difficult to gather enough methods to cultivate from the Shattered Stone to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein. Considering how many times to switch cultivation methods was a matter for later.

However, precisely in the Great Wilderness, the future is too unpredictable, and there is always the risk of annihilation of a clan or tribe.

The next tribe to be rebuilt spent a long time piecing together a complete set of cultivation methods.

In Shen Can's next plan, in addition to cultivation techniques, the Five Desolate Classics will also include matching martial arts skills, minor supernatural abilities, and supernatural powers.

When the Ji clan established the Bo tribe, it formed a system with the Five Desolate Classics as the main body, supplemented by a number of cultivation methods that could be cultivated directly up to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein.

Why add other Heavenly Vein Ninefold Techniques? Firstly, the current situation of the Blazing Flame Tribe is very special.

Looking at the entire Yongyi region, no other "bo tribe" had more than three million remnants under its command, and its own tribe had less than twenty thousand people.

Integration takes time, and during the integration process, the remaining people also need to cultivate.

Secondly, he obtained so many classic texts and techniques from his battles with Xiao Yang, and the foundation of some of these techniques was indeed quite good.

After his derivation and improvement, it would be considered a superior cultivation method in any clan.

In a superior tribe, this would be sufficient to serve as a clan-suppressing law to quell the tribe's internal strife.

The more methods a clan possesses, the better, so that its members can flourish in their cultivation.

At this moment, more than a dozen flying boats appeared out of nowhere outside the clan city, with Azure Phoenix soldiers guarding both sides.

On each airship were dozens of teenagers, looking around with curiosity.

"We've arrived just ahead. You'll be living and practicing here for the rest of the time."

"The Martial Hall has experienced martial arts masters who will teach you cultivation methods. Only by cultivating diligently can you fight against Xiaoyang and protect your loved ones."

On the lead flying boat, Huo Tang addressed the hundreds of teenagers he had brought.

The more excited they were when they were gathering the remaining people, the more exhausted they are now in integrating the tribe.

Compared to the vast number of people outside, the number of people in the Blazing Flame Headquarters is still too small.

Therefore, every so often, young people from outside the mountain tribes who are suitable for cultivation are brought into the main martial arts hall for training.

Furthermore, some gifted orphans would be granted the surname "Fire".

From the moment one embarks on the path of martial arts cultivation to achieving mastery, it takes at least ten years.

This will allow ample time to nurture these young people into becoming part of the Blazing Flame.

In recent days, Huotang has learned a lot from others, studying the Jishan Earl tribe and observing the situation of the Luoshui Earl tribe.

Like most tribes in Yongyi, Jishan and Luoshui controlled a certain number of directly subordinate vassal tribes, and then controlled some superior tribes.

The superior tribes also control a certain number of smaller tribes.

In the process of fighting against Xiaoyang, the Jishanbo tribe not only drew a sufficient number of tribal soldiers from its directly subordinate vassal tribes, but also...

The superior tribes under his command began to outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, using the soldiers of their respective smaller tribes as their elite forces to deal with the Jishanbo tribe.

Of course, this is also partly because the Jishan clan failed to rise to prominence; their swords were simply too dull.

If the various tribes had dared to do this during the time of the first Earl of Jishan, countless swords would probably have been broken.

Regardless of the circumstances, it all points to one thing: the smaller tribes that were subordinate to the upper-class tribes under the Bo tribe did not directly obey the Bo tribe.

If Zhiyan were to learn from Jishan, he would gain control of the superior tribes.

Then, each area was assigned to a superior tribe, allowing the superior tribe to develop on its own and to gather smaller tribes.

This approach is particularly suitable for undeveloped areas. You're given a clan-building order; go ahead and create whatever you want, it's all yours.

However, after careful consideration, Huotang felt that this method was not entirely suitable for the Blazing Flame Division.

Even though Zhiyan has gathered so many people, and can distribute some of them, most people still want to live with Zhiyan's tribe.

With such a large population, the next step is to integrate them.

After escorting the group of teenagers to the Martial Hall, Huo Tang strode into the Ancestral Temple. Shen Can immediately noticed the wrinkles on Huo Tang's forehead, which looked like they had been knitted together for quite some time.

“Ah-chan, the number gap between our tribe and the tribes outside the mountains is too large. We need to find a way to speed up the integration.”

If one generation wants to accomplish what several generations could do, they must find a new path.

"How's the matter of continuing to gather the remaining people and form vassal tribes going?"

Shen Can led Huo Tang to his residence and poured him a glass of water.

"The number gathered is not large, mainly in the area north of Ji, which has been severely ravaged by Xiaoyang."

Most of the remaining tribes were unwilling to move north, feeling that the north was too remote, so they had to be forced to migrate.

In addition, among the newly recruited remnants, I also selected a portion and sent them directly to our headquarters to accelerate the increase in our tribe's population.

"After several grand sacrifices, the tribesmen from outside the mountains should have become more friendly with our tribe by now."

Shen Can recalled the previous sacrificial ceremonies. Although the people's thoughts were mixed, most of them had already accepted the tribe.

After all, when the Xiaoyang Southern Tribe was destroyed, it was Zhiyan who gave them new protection.

For the tribe members who have lost the protection of their original tribe and have remarried and had children, they hope to find stability.

"But with so many people, if this goes on for too long, and the main force is always in the mountains, I'm afraid people's hearts will waver."

Huotang looked worried. If the Blazing Flame Headquarters had 100,000 blood descendants, they wouldn't be so worried.

Ultimately, there are still too few people in the main department.

From Huotang's words, Shen Can also realized the problem.

Even Shen Can himself sometimes makes this distinction between the main body and the external body.

It is true that the number of Blazing Flame Bloodline descendants is small, but if everyone subconsciously distinguishes between insiders and outsiders, then problems will indeed arise over time.

To achieve true integration, it's not just about blood ties, but about a fusion of hearts and minds.

Before even integrating, there's already a distinction between those in charge and those outside; this is extremely detrimental to unity.

"Chief, let's not talk about the distinction between those in charge of external affairs anymore. Don't say anything that is not conducive to the unity of the tribe."

Huotang was taken aback, but immediately realized what was happening.

This unintentional tone of voice can easily influence the people of the tribe.

In particular, as the clan chief, he was in charge of clan soldiers and other affairs, and spent a lot of time outside in contact with the clan members.

Then, Huotang's gaze hardened, and he said solemnly, "It seems it's time for another reform."

The issue of integration between the tribe and its inhabitants is crucial to the advancement of the tribe and must be resolved.

In the following days, every time Xiaolongyu brought Xiaoque back from outside, she saw Shen Can and Huotang busy together.

For several days in a row, I don't know what they were discussing.

It listened for a while but found it boring, and decided it would be more fun to eavesdrop at night.

……

In the northeast of Ji, near a vast, desolate mountain range.

The great marshland caused by the Golden Crow Kuafu has long been submerged by the surging waters.

The wild grass grew lush and green, and the burned old trees were revitalized from the roots, bringing life back to the mountains.

Thousands of miles south of these mountains, in the area untouched by the Golden Crow Heavenly Fire, the desolate atmosphere is even more intense, with ancient trees gnarled and verdant.

Nestled within the ancient mountains lies a secluded mountain stream, its waters gurgling and flowing.

A group of swiftly approaching owls shattered this peaceful and tranquil place.

Leaping and bounding through the air, they stumbled into a misty jungle, where a majestic building loomed in and out of sight.

The ancient temple blends seamlessly with the rock face, its exterior covered in a thick layer of dark green moss.

"The ancient palace is indeed here!"

The leader of the Yin Meridian looked at the stone palace that had appeared and shouted excitedly.

“Mu Xiao, I will inherit your destiny. You didn’t expect that, did you? It was I, Qiu Yin, who swallowed up your Mu Yan lineage.”

The leader of the Yin Meridian arrived near the stone hall.

"High Priest, Mu Xiao is dead, and I have now absorbed the Mu Yan lineage."

As long as the High Priest hands over the old divine treasure of the Mu Yan lineage, I can revere you just like Mu Xiao.

I can even help you reunite the fragmented ancestral temple, making you the sole high priest of the entire Xiaoyang.

The leader of the Qiongyin Clan no longer showed any of the panic he had shown when he fled in such a disheveled state; his eyes were now filled with ambition.

Who would have thought that Mu Xiao, who had been suffocating him, would be dead?

Everything was made cheap for it.

Rumble!
The ancient stone hall slowly opened its stone door, revealing a dark entrance.

Deep within the main hall, the high priest's eyes gleamed with amusement as his hoarse voice rang out.

"come in."

"You guys wait for me here."

Upon hearing the sound, the Master of the Yin Meridian was overjoyed and rushed into the stone hall in one leap.

As soon as the leader of the Yin Meridian entered the stone hall, the door of the stone hall quickly closed. The clansmen guarding outside tried to push it open, but found that they could not push it open at all.

"what!"

Inside the stone hall, the screams of the Lord of the Yin Clan echoed.

"You...you...you..."

Half an hour later.

Inside the dimly lit hall, the beast-fire flickered, casting several swaying shadows of a figure clad in a wide beast-patterned robe.

The cuneiform pulse was lying prostrate on the ground like a dead dog.

On either side, there were two gray-white fury Owl Yang warriors, coldly watching it.

The leader of the Yin Meridian looked at the High Priest in horror.

This isn't the High Priest's eye; it's all too familiar with this eye.

Mu Xiao was not dead.

In an instant, its ambition shattered like a bubble.

I've never dreamed of such a decisive and efficient action.

"you…"

The leader of the Yin Meridian spoke in terror, but looking into those cold, emotionless eyes, he was too frightened to utter a word.

It really wanted to ask Mu Xiao why he hadn't died.

Sensing the killing intent, Qiu Yin Mai Master regained his senses, realizing that if he spoke any more, he might be killed on the spot.

"I surrender."

The High Priest Mu Xiao didn't even glance at Qiu Yin. "Let's get to know each other again. You can honor me as the King of Owls."

"The King of Owls!"

The swollen yin pulse indicates a startle.

Walking to the couch in the middle of the main hall, the High Priest Mu Xiao sat down and looked at the Master of the Qiu Yin Clan.

“The temple of the human tribe has ruined my plans. Go and kill him.”
