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

Chapter 216 The Volcano's Ascension to Divine Realm! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Shen Can was quite moved when he learned about the attack on the treasure ship, realizing that the Great Wilderness was just a cycle of robbing each other.

He wasn't particularly angry, after all, it wasn't reasonable for Zhiyan to be the only one to take things from others while others couldn't do anything to him.

Let's try it out and see who's the top and who's the bottom.

Huotang took care of all the trivial matters, so his focus was still on the breakthrough of the divine treasure in the volcano.

Although the Yuanmai has not been fully upgraded, the surge of Yuan power caused by the investment of hundreds of thousands of Yuan stones is enough to propel a Divine Treasure's advancement.

Rows of blast furnaces stood tall, spewing forth billowing red flames and thick smoke. The fire marrow stones embedded in them shimmered with red light, and streaks of red fire runes bloomed like stars.

These blast furnaces were not built randomly, but were constructed according to the construction drawings provided by Shen Can, forming a shape similar to a Bagua diagram, divided into inner and outer parts.

The inner part is the 'center' in the Bagua diagram, and the outer part is divided into eight directions.

The center is where the molten iron from the furnace meets, and the eight sides are eight blast furnace units, each containing a different number of blast furnaces.

Every blast furnace has a hidden channel leading to the central area of ​​the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) area, forming a spiderweb-like network of flowing pipes at the center of the Bagua.

This keeps the molten iron flowing, maintaining its highest temperature.

At this moment, the blast furnace was spewing out red flames, continuously supplying scorching heat.

The volcano was located at the center of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) intersection. He was completely naked except for a pair of animal skin shorts, and he was practicing the Lu Wu Divine Form that Shen Can had taught him.

The reason I cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body was to strengthen my physical body.

Compared to the original version of the Fire Ape, the power of Lu Wu's Divine Form is several times greater, with a significant effect on improving physical strength.

The volcano stood amidst billowing smoke and crimson flames, its body faintly adorned with red beast markings, the heat making its skin gleam.

A flying boat hovered dozens of feet away, carrying dozens of wizards who were all intently watching the volcano's cultivation.

The scorching heat caused all the wizards present to be drenched in sweat.

Shen Can was also on the flying boat. The breakthrough in the volcano was not just a breakthrough, but also represented the beginning of the advancement of the Divine Realm warriors of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

As for himself, his breakthrough was not easily replicable, so the volcano was the real experimental monkey.

All the data from the beginning of the volcano's cultivation to the present has now been transferred to this airship.

Shen Can's divine sense enveloped the volcano's cultivation. In his perception, the molten iron underground was like a fiery dragon, traveling through a network of dark tunnels.

Beneath each blast furnace in the distance, a varying number of clansmen were adding firewood to the furnace, continuing to heat the molten iron flowing back from the mesh-like tunnels.

The heat waves swirled in the air, one after another, and the dense fire elemental energy twinkled like stars.

Without exception, all of these fire-elemental energies were absorbed into the body by the volcano.

Previously, the volcano felt it had reached its limit, but now that the source energy is entering its body, it means the volcano is absorbing the fire element source energy.

This also confirms that the transformation from Fire Ape to Lu Wu requires the absorption of additional fire energy, further demonstrating that the volcano's physical body is strengthening.

The volcano, which was being cultivated, went from being somewhat unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming increasingly smooth, and the whole person was enveloped in the source power of fire.

The only animal skin shorts he was wearing turned to ashes in the sudden burst of fire, leaving him completely naked.

Roar!
A sound like a tiger's roar rang out from the volcano's throat, followed by a series of thunderous sounds reverberating within its body.

A dazzling crimson light erupted from the volcano, its rear end spewing forth a beam of crimson light, followed by a second and a third...

In the blink of an eye, the crimson light transformed into three fiery tails, each over ten feet long.

His body began to grow rapidly, three zhang, four zhang, five zhang, five zhang and one chi... five zhang and three chi...

In the crimson flames, a strange beast appeared, having the body and head of a tiger, but with two ape hands and two tiger legs.

Its two thick hind legs stand upright, raising its entire body high, creating an image that is somewhat indescribable.

Roar!
With a roar from the volcano, three fiery tails lashed out into the air, and the fiery aura formed a beam of light several meters long, which exploded into a crimson glow.

"This feels so weird!"

Having never experienced a volcano that resembled anything else, the tiger tilted its head and looked at its own body, feeling a little uneasy.

"Don't just stand there, come out and check."

Upon hearing the sound, the volcano leaped up, its two thick tiger legs propelling it into the air. The area below where people were cultivating cracked and spewed out a stream of molten lava.

As the volcano emerged, the airship rapidly approached it. Before the airship had even fully landed, the wizards jumped off and surrounded the volcano.

"Relax, relax, I need to check the animal markings."

"I'm checking my physical strength."

"Spread your tail, and I'll measure your body length."

Once outside the volcano of the Fire Spirit Land, he simply lay down on the ground, spreading his two ape arms and letting the wizards crawl all over him, while he tried to control his fiery temper.

"The Tier 3 Fire Crystal has been completely melted. In the last test, it took all my strength to melt 80% of the Tier 3 Fire Crystal. The heat of the blood energy has increased."

"Its height is 53 feet, and its length including the tail is 43 feet, which is a bit asymmetrical."

“Tiger and ape-like animal patterns appeared within his body.”

……

"Change back."

"Change back."

"Do you feel anything?"

On the airship, Shen Can sat on a large wooden chair on the deck, quietly waiting for the wizards' examination results.

Even without looking at the data, after cultivating the Lu Wu Divine Form Battle Body, Volcano's combat power was already enough to defeat the Luo Shui Ancestor alone.

Thinking of the Luoshui Ancestor, Shen Can felt it was time to take them in and bring them back as humanoid intelligent combat power testing devices.

"Can I still transform into a fire ape?"

After the volcano transformed back into human form, it heard Shen Can's message.

Then, he began to try to transform into a fire ape.

After several attempts, he ended up in a hybrid form, a fusion of Fire Ape and Lu Wu, and it seemed he couldn't revert back to Fire Ape.

……

The inspection of the volcano continued until nightfall, with pieces of volcanic marrow emitting a bright light, and the glow of crimson fire could be seen surging underground.

On the airship, the wizards were compiling the newly acquired data.

The volcano had changed into a beast-patterned robe and was eating meat soup.

"Master, the summary is complete."

Huo Yun walked up to Shen Can and said, "Compared to the previous data, the number of beast patterns on the 206 bones in the body has not changed; there are a total of 936."

"The beast pattern has evolved from its original resemblance to the fire ape to a state where the fire ape and Lu Wu are fused together."

"The brightness of the beast pattern has been increased by one level, temporarily set at level four."

Since the Wu tribe wizards began researching the Wild Beast Battle Body, they have witnessed the training of over a thousand members of their tribe.

Because it was created from scratch, data standards were established during the measurement of various data.

Huo Yun wasn't just talking; soon, a series of blueprints were laid out on the huge table.

The image depicts the skeleton of the volcano before and after its transformation, with animal patterns on each skeleton clearly shown.

“Master, the beast markings in the Fire Ape Battle Form state are crimson red, but after Lu Wu and the Fire Ape merge, the beast markings turn crimson gold.”

"Furthermore, we also discovered this time that after the Lu Wu Fire Ape's dual-phase battle body transformed, the beast patterns on the bones of its spine became missing."

As she spoke, Huo Yun placed the previously drawn Fire Ape Battle Body skeleton diagram in front of Shen Can.

“Master, look, this is the state of the Fire Ape Battle Body before. The beast patterns on all the bones are very clear, without missing a single one.”

"Only this time, the animal patterns on the spine are missing. Although it is only less than half of the pattern, the animal patterns on all the spines are like this. We have not found this problem in the other bones."

“I have obtained the cultivation records of other clansmen. After everyone cultivated the Battle Body, every single beast pattern was complete.”

"It is currently speculated that this change was caused by cultivating the dual beast form battle body. Further experiments by the clansmen are needed to confirm this."

Shen Can arrived at the volcano and his divine sense entered the volcano's spine.

When not activated, the beast markings resemble patterns carved on bones. Once activated, these markings enlarge, shimmering with a dazzling light, spreading throughout the body like veins.

In his perception, the animal pattern on the volcano's spine was indeed missing a little bit.

All told, it barely qualifies as three percent of a complete beast pattern. As for the beast patterns on the other bones outside the spine, some have actually disappeared, but the amount is so small that it can be ignored, and the wizards did not detect it.

The changes within the volcano gave Shen Can a hypothesis.

The extent to which the beast markings disappear is related to the transformation into a humanoid battle form.

This conjecture is also based on the changes within his body.

Within Shen Can's body, 70% of the beast-patterned marks on his spine had disappeared; rather than disappearing, it was more like they had been swallowed up.

I hadn't thought much about it before, and I already assumed that the beast pattern had been devoured by itself.

Just like the little dragonfish swallowing the precious blood and assimilating it into its own dragon origin.

In retrospect, this situation was not unique to him.

It would be great if it wasn't an isolated case, as that would allow for a larger experimental sample and further verification.

"The origin of humanity."

Shen Can suddenly thought of this word.

Could it be that cultivating the two beast forms can stimulate the human race's origin and unlock the ability to refine beast patterns?
At this moment, Huoyun came over with several more blueprints.

"Master, these are the beast patterns inside the bodies of the apes and fourth-tier beastmen that we just received."

"The animal markings within the ape have seeped into the spinal cord and blood marrow, and have also manifested in its blood."

Its overall skeletal structure has changed significantly from that of humans.

"For a fourth-tier martial artist who has undergone beast transformation, the beast markings are also imprinted deep into the bones, and even the flesh and blood are stained."

However, its skeleton still consists of 206 pieces, with only some minor initial changes. Further research is needed to determine the more detailed characteristics.

Afterwards, Shen Can shared his conjecture with Huo Jun and mentioned that some of the animal patterns were missing.

Next, the martial arts department will select members of their clan to comprehend the dual beast forms and verify the conjecture they just obtained.

Huo Yun recorded what Shen Can said and memorized words such as 'human origin' and 'spine', thinking that she would start preparing to conduct the experiment another day.

Shen Can never expected that preparing the volcano for its ascension to the Divine Treasury would lead to such a new discovery.

The group of martial arts wizards thoroughly inspected the volcano inside and out before leaving, satisfied.

After resting for two days, the volcano tried to transform into the Fire Ape Battle Body again, but found that it still didn't work.

Transforming into Lu Wu on his own wouldn't work either.

The only way is to transform into a form that is neither quite Lu Wu nor Fire Ape.

Volcano stopped dwelling on this and instead devoted himself entirely to preparing to break through the divine treasure.

Unsurprisingly, a group of martial arts wizards arrived again, carrying their own small tables, writing brushes, and inkstones, all neatly arranged.

Volcano was quite helpless. Seeing so many junior witches, he was initially very hesitant.

He, a dignified elder of the Blazing Flame Tribe and the next tribal chief, had his bare backside exposed by a group of juniors.

Where is your dignity?!

Where is your face?!

Now, he has given up struggling. You get used to being naked after a while.

Besides, he wasn't the only one who was seen naked; there were plenty of other clansmen who cultivated the battle body.

He is now incredibly strong inside, and he can show Kun to his 'clan' at any time.

……

"Master."

On Yanling's left shoulder was a spirit clan member named Aqing, and on her right shoulder was a medicine-pounding rabbit. Each of the two little creatures held a precious medicine pill in their hands.

As Yan Ling spoke, the two little ones handed the bundle of medicine they were holding to Shen Can.

"Master, this is the Herbal Treasure Pill, made by mixing three kinds of precious medicines with dozens of kinds of witchcraft medicines."

I, along with the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit Clan, crafted this according to your instructions. It possesses healing and meridian-protecting properties.

The two precious pills exuded a refreshing aura, their surfaces radiating a dazzling spiritual light, and adorned with translucent blood-red lines.

Although the surface of the precious pill has blood-colored patterns, it is not bloody but not fishy, ​​as it is a pure herbal medicine.

Shen Can nodded and put the precious medicine into the jade box in front of him.

Afterwards, Shen Can headed towards the volcano that was sitting cross-legged in the Fire Spirit Land.

Within the sacred land, flames surged, the blast furnace had reignited, and the crimson dragon magma emitted intense fire energy as it flowed underground.

"I have memorized all the secret techniques you taught me."

"The secret method of wood and fire generating each other ensures that there is enough energy to break through the divine treasure."

The volcano was not nervous about breaking through the divine treasure and was in good condition.

Seeing this, Shen Can nodded.

He didn't say anything more. He had been preparing for so long, and he had already deduced the mutual generation and restraint of wood, fire, and water many times. With such a powerful volcanic body, there was nothing to worry about.

A small flying boat was still hovering in mid-air, and Shen Can returned to the flying boat.

Rumble!
One day later.

The volcano, which was sitting cross-legged, trembled, and then the free-floating fire energy was activated.

Seeing this, Shen Can glanced at the wizard holding the flag on the flying boat.

With a large flag waved in the air, the tribespeople around the stoves immediately began to add firewood to the fires.

A fiery temper suddenly flared up at that moment.

A vortex of fire energy suddenly appeared on the top of the volcano and poured into his body.

The flying boat, which was only a few dozen feet away, was suddenly blown about and was forced to retreat under Shen Can's protection.

"Measure the concentration of ignition source power, measure its power, and measure the range and changes of the vortex."

On the airship, the wizards quickly got to work, each one lying on the gunwale, staring at the howling flames.

……

The fire source energy vortex quickly expanded from a radius of ten zhang to a radius of fifty zhang, pulling the fire source energy floating around it into its body.

Such a violent devouring caused the surrounding fire to surge.

The four-colored deer were also on the flying boat, while the dragon-horned beast was sent out to do hard labor.

The four-colored deer gazed into the volcano, which sat nestled amidst swirling crimson flames, its eyes sparkling with iridescent light.

"His physical body is too strong, and the intensity of the fire source power is not enough to break through the divine treasure."

hum!
At that moment, a resounding sound suddenly echoed from beneath the earth, like the roar of a dragon. The surging wood elemental power surged into the fire elemental land as if violently swept up.

When wood encounters fire, a scene of azure light and crimson flames appearing above the fire-elemental spiritual land.

In an instant, the heat of the fire element in the Fire Spirit Land rose to another level.

The fiery vortex, fifty feet in size, emitted a layer of golden fire light from its crimson color.

Rumble!
A roaring sound emanated from inside the volcano.

As the roar resounded, the vortex of fire energy above their heads dissipated.

However, the scattered vortex of fire energy then regrouped, drawing the surrounding fire energy back into the volcano and forming a torrent that crashed into the dantian.

boom!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Five times in a row, the power was not stronger each time. In the first four times, each attempt was to blast cracks open in the dantian.

It wasn't until the fifth strike that the final blow was delivered.

The already damaged dantian was blasted open in one fell swoop.

In Shen Can's words, this method is like using a small hammer to smooth out the gaps, and then using a big hammer to finish the job.

After the fifth roar, the volcano trembled, and its blood energy surged.

A surge of intense fire energy gathered anew above his head, pouring into his body as if it had found an outlet, flowing through his celestial veins and into the newly opened divine treasure.
