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

Chapter 202 The Five-Year Beast Transformation Plan Completed
The primeval, wild forests are lush with vegetation, craggy rocks, and teeming with insects and ants.

If they didn't transform into beast form, it would be extremely difficult for the warriors of the Blazing Flame Tribe to traverse this area.

While transforming into a beast, it also inherited the formidable physique of a wild beast, which can block most insect bites.

Led by the dragon-horned beast, the group traversed thousands of miles and entered a vast valley.

A light mist filled the valley, the vegetation was incredibly lush, and the old trees were twisted and gnarled like dragons, with their roots even reaching the ground.

Thick layers of leaves fell to the ground, accumulating one layer after another.

Upon arriving at the valley, just as the dragon-horned beast had said, many wild beasts lived there.

However, their ranks are not high, with the strongest being only comparable to the sixth level of the Heavenly Vein of the human race.

Come to think of it, if there really were high-grade source stone veins in this valley, the Black-haired Hou, as the lord of this place, would have already taken them over, and there would be no need for these little wild beasts.

Faced with the appearance of such a large 'beast herd' from the Blazing Flame Tribe, the wild beasts in the valley scattered and ran wildly.

"There really is Originium."

After entering the valley, Shen Can picked up a handful of soil from the ground.

The faintly glowing, scattered powder inside the soil is Originium fragments.

His divine sense swept across the rock wall and then extended down into the earth.

The surface of the valley had long been dug up by wild beasts with their hooves.

Wild beasts instinctively sense something underground that can enhance their strength.

As his divine sense descended towards the ground, Shen Can sensed that it was constantly being obstructed.

Soil and rocks, especially mineral veins, have a great influence on spiritual consciousness.

However, even with the influence, his divine sense still managed to probe down to three hundred feet.

Scattered pieces of Originium are found among the soil and rocks beneath the surface of this valley, as if they were randomly scattered and covered by layers of soil and rocks.

There are quite a few of them, and they include all five elements. Some have a single attribute, while others have a mixture of different attributes.

They come in various sizes, but most are only about the size of a bean.

From less than a zhang below the surface, to a range of three hundred zhang that Shen Can could sense, there were source stones distributed throughout.

However, starting from a depth of a hundred feet, the soil and rocks begin to solidify, and their strength also increases.

"Let's set up camp here and start mining."

Now that we've found the Originium mine, we should dig it all up.

Afterwards, Shen Can walked around the valley again and found that the entire source stone vein covered an area of ​​more than ten miles. Within the range that he could perceive, it was densely packed.

Upon discovering the mineral vein, the tribespeople were naturally overjoyed and quickly got to work, carving out a cave directly from the valley.

The clansmen who followed Shen Can were divided into three groups, with the clansmen who transformed into Azure Phoenixes responsible for patrolling the sky.

The remaining people split into two teams and took turns digging.

Since the Originium is so scattered, there's no need to dig tunnels. We can just mine in the open and dig out the soil layer by layer first.

Tools were easy to obtain; they could simply use local materials to weave large rattan baskets and use the shaman soldiers as tools.

Their weapons had already been brought along by Shen Can in his magic bag.

Baskets of soil and rocks were dug out, and as they were being dumped, the glittering Originium stones were sifted out.

Some Originium stones are pure white, while others shimmer with various colors such as black, red, blue, green, and yellow.

If this place weren't so far from the clan's territory and located within the Giant Mountain Range, where there are many wild beasts and dangers...

Otherwise, they should have transferred a group of people from the clan to help with the mining.

Fortunately, everyone was a Celestial Vein Warrior, so they were quick and efficient in their actions, digging holes and removing soil like human excavation beasts.

In just one day, the ground was scraped down to a depth of ten feet, and the ten-foot-tall wicker baskets were filled with crystal-clear source stones.

After some of the Originium was extracted, Shen Can carefully examined it and discovered that the purity of these Originium was not the same.

Most of them are more like scraps from Originium veins.

This thought made him release his divine sense again to investigate thoroughly, and he became even more certain of his guess.

There must have been some living being, perhaps a human, or a powerful being from another race, who directly extracted a vein of good quality Originium from the valley.

Therefore, the remaining Originium can be scattered throughout the valley in this way.

The Earth Mother Spiritual Mechanism that appeared in the Qingyangbobu mine was not found here.

Without the Earth Mother's spiritual energy, the remaining scraps of source stone could no longer form a vein and were simply scattered throughout this valley.

Shen Can was not stingy with the clansmen who mined the source stones; they could use the source stones they dug out to cultivate during their rest periods.

While the tribesmen were mining the veins, the two tamed wild beasts were not idle either, continuing to explore the surrounding mountains and forests in search of the Lu Wu treasure blood.

Shen Can predicted that the struggle for Lu Wu's precious blood would not stop so quickly, but the Juyue Mountain Range was too large, and it would not be easy to find any movement.

Furthermore, the precious blood is very likely to fall into the hands of an even more powerful wild beast, in which case he might not be able to defeat it.

As time went by, a large, deep pit, spanning more than ten miles in circumference, appeared in the valley.

The bottom of the pit is a series of uneven stones.

This stone is hard, falling somewhere between ore and ordinary stone.

The reason why the transformation did not continue was because the Earth Mother's spiritual energy was gone, and the further transformation was forcibly interrupted by the outside world.

Time stands still in the mountains, and Shen Can is also cultivating with the help of source stones. The source stones he digs out every day turn into a continuous stream of energy that flows into his body.

Unfortunately, the remaining scraps from this Originium vein were still too weak for him.

Regardless of size, 99% of the Originium stones mined out are not even enough to contain the energy of a low-grade Originium.

No wonder the Black-haired Hou, the lord of the wild beasts here, is no longer interested in the valley's mineral veins.

The mineral veins here are not even worth mentioning to a fourth-tier beast lord.

However, it was just right for Shen Can.

Night falls.

A basket of crystal-clear source stones was delivered into the cave where Shen Can was temporarily resting.

Shen Can opened his mouth, and a stream of multicolored light swirled up from the source stone basket and entered his mouth.

After circulating through the body, the power flowing into the celestial veins flows into the bones, flesh, and spirit respectively.

Meanwhile, the tribesmen resting in various caves were also cultivating with source stones.

However, the source stones here have mixed attributes, which is not actually friendly to the clansmen who have only cultivated the Heavenly Meridian Technique corresponding to the Five-Stage Technique.

With the Origin Stone right in front of me, not cultivating would be a waste of time.

Therefore, upon realizing this problem, Shen Can passed on the Heavenly Meridian Techniques corresponding to the other five techniques to his clansmen.

For example, those who cultivate the Fire Ape Technique should also cultivate the Wood Bird Technique, and those who cultivate the Kui Ox Technique should also cultivate the Mysterious Tiger True Refinement.

This also aligns with his long-standing deduction of the Five Elements' mutual generation principle.

As for whether there will be any problems with the clansmen's cultivation, they are all people who are stuck before the Divine Treasury, destined to only be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein and almost unable to reach the Divine Treasury.

In this situation, whether it's cultivating the Wild Beast Battle Body or practicing other methods, the goal is to enhance combat power. As for whether there will be any changes within the body, even if the beast patterns on the bones increase or change, it's still just the Heavenly Vein, and it won't cause much of a stir.

In a short time, the more than fifty clansmen in the valley began to cultivate other Five Elements methods as well.

They already knew their place when the clan had them cultivate the Wild Beast Battle Body.

Use every means possible to enhance combat power and obtain your strongest combat strength.

If one could rival a quasi-god, then one would have struck gold in this lifetime.

If the temple is to be repaired, then it should be repaired.

After initially adapting to the combined cultivation method, everyone found that their cultivation speed had indeed improved to varying degrees. Although it didn't seem like an amazing transformation, there was a real improvement.

In this situation, some people began to try to cultivate the three gates, but most of them cultivated the one gate that was compatible with the main gate.

……

A year and a half later.

Dragon Horn and Golden Sword, who had been gathering information elsewhere, have returned.

In fact, it is much more convenient to move around in the Giant Mountain Range using the body of a wild beast.

"There's news from the temple."

Although Shen Can subdued the two wild beasts, he did not make them acknowledge him as their master, unlike the Crocodile Lord.

Instead, they planned to bring the two wild beasts back to the tribe and bind them to the Blazing Flame Tribe.

If a wild beast with the potential to advance to the fourth tier can produce offspring, then the probability of those offspring reaching the fourth tier is also very high.

Like the Azure Phoenix Clan, this generation is bound to the tribe, and future generations will coexist with the Blazing Flame Tribe.

This idea also came from the Little Spirit Clan. Blazing Flame shouldn't be limited to the human race, especially since there's a group of clansmen who cultivate in beast form. They should form a coexistence relationship with the wild beasts and spirit races that can coexist with their own clan.

"The precious blood was indeed obtained by the Chihu, but it was unable to refine it. It was targeted by another powerful bloodline, the Azure Flame Suanni."

"The Azure Flame Lion did not give the Chi Tiger a chance to refine the precious blood. The two lords confronted each other on a giant mountain 30,000 miles away. They fought many times over the past year, and neither could do anything to the other."

"Other lord-level wild beasts have appeared nearby, so we dare not approach them."

"The head of the black-haired pheasant hangs on the cliff face of that mountain."

……

Beneath Mount Juyue, dragons roar and lions howl, water and fire collide.

The clash between the two fourth-tier wild beasts exuded a suppressed aura, causing the surrounding mountains and forests to fall silent.

The two wild beasts fought fiercely, sometimes charging up the mountains, sometimes plunging into the river, their clashes accompanied by the constant, ear-piercing sounds of water and fire colliding.

Both beasts were over thirty feet in size. One of them trod on the wind and clouds, with a tiger's head and a dragon's tail, and three-foot-long jade horns on its head. Its tiger eyes exuded a fierce aura.

The other one was entirely emerald green, standing on emerald flames, and wherever it passed, wildfires raged.

The two wild beasts fought from the mountain to the ground, each striking the other even as they rolled, their bodies radiating a terrifying killing intent that shook the surrounding area.

They fought as they moved, but each time they fought their way a thousand miles away, the Chihu would return to the vicinity of the mountains.

"hold head high!"

It kicked away the Azure Flame Lion-like Chi Tiger, and roared angrily. Water dragons burst forth from its body, all roaring in unison.

The Azure Flame Suanni opposite was not to be outdone. With a light stomp of its four hooves, raging flames burst forth from beneath its hooves, fiercely attacking the Chihu.

In an instant, the two wild beasts collided violently again, as if two small mountains were crashing in mid-air, with water and fire erupting and waves of air surging like a tide.

The surrounding mountains and forests are in a terrible state, with broken and fragmented scenes everywhere.

……

Shen Can glanced at the two fighting beasts and knew he had to run far away first.

The combat power of these two wild beasts is probably no weaker than that of a late-stage Divine Treasure cultivator.

He can manage to hold his own on one end, but it's best not to send food to either end.

No wonder no other wild beasts dare to approach; these are undoubtedly the two overlords of the area.

Strong bloodline, strong strength, a worthy opponent.

It's a bit strange. The Chihu has clearly obtained the precious blood, so why doesn't it just flee far away? Instead, it stays entrenched in the giant mountain in front of it and doesn't move.

A den shouldn't be that important to wild beasts.

Seeing that the Chihu, after fighting for a while, had once again taken up its mountaintop, it opened its big mouth and licked the head of the black-haired Hou.

The black-haired beast's head, larger than a millstone, was covered in blood from the dense barbs on its tongue.

The Azure Flame Lion also stopped to the side, staring at the Chi Tiger.

Once the Chihu shows any signs of refining the precious blood, it will make its move.

Seeing this, Shen Can also quietly concealed himself.

Let's wait and see how long these two wild beasts can fight.

He felt that this situation was somewhat abnormal.

But unexpectedly, this wait lasted year after year.

The two wild beasts clashed every now and then, neither able to gain the upper hand. In one instance, they even fought each other to dismember a Thunderbird that attacked them, each beast taking half of its prey.

……

Source Stone Valley.

After more than three years of excavation, and after sifting the soil three times, the remaining Originium was finally completely excavated.

Over the course of three years, five out of the fifty-odd clansmen reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm, and the rest also made some improvements.

Despite the combined cultivation techniques and the ample supply of source stones, why did only five people reach the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm? The main reason is that no matter how much the majority of the clansmen cultivated afterward, their cultivation seemed to be stuck.

Fortunately, with the blessing of the Wild Beast Battle Body, even those who haven't cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein have the combat power of the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein in their beast form.

With increased strength, they naturally began searching for resources in the mountains to prepare for bringing them back to the tribe.

Shen Can, on the other hand, was in seclusion cultivating. All the remaining source stones and collected witch medicines in the entire valley were with him. He was preparing to break through to the mid-stage of the Divine Treasury realm in one go.

It has been about four years since I led my people into the Juyue Mountains.

Through his clone, Shen Can maintained constant contact with Huo Tang and was well aware of the situation within the tribe.

That's why Huotang was able to relax.

Over the past few years, the clan has not been idle either. The plan for the middle-aged generation to cultivate the Wild Beast Battle Body, which was originally established, was completed a little ahead of schedule.

Including the other teams that were previously sent into the Giant Mountain Range, they have returned to their tribes in recent years and cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body.

Excluding those who have been corrupted by bestiality and those who are in an unstable state.

Excluding the clansmen who came into the mountains with Shen Can, among the other clansmen who remained in the clan, the number of those who possessed the ninth level of Heavenly Vein combat power after transforming into battle form suddenly reached 137.

In terms of sheer numbers of warriors at the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm, the Blazing Flame Tribe has caught up with the human tribes of Ji and Luo.
