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

Chapter 229 Jinbo's Department!
The magical spells that spread throughout the tribe's territory were fleeting, but the people of the Blazing Flame Tribe did not look away from the sky for a long time.

Over a period of more than ten years, tens of thousands of shamans and their followers, along with millions of tribespeople, painstakingly built the foundation of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Over the past decade, Zhiyan has cultivated a large number of craftsmen and true 'wizards'.

They were no different from the shamans of other tribes in Yongyi. They measured the earth with their hands and feet, and used their divine sense to imprint shamanic symbols and spiritual prohibitions on houses, waterwheels, flying boats, plows, bronzeware, and so on, bringing the shamanic symbols and spiritual prohibitions to every member of the tribe.

……

"Hahaha……"

Huotang's hearty laughter echoed from the stone tower in the clan's territory, taking a long time to subside.

Ah-Can had told him before that Wu Jincheng was when Zhi Yan advanced to the Bobu level.

Since Yanran was promoted to a chieftain, the clansmen have been eagerly anticipating this moment, and now their wish is finally fulfilled.

……

"Issue the order to immediately deliver clan letters to the tribes of Jishan, Yanran, and others. I, Zhiyan, will be promoted to the rank of Earl in one year. I sincerely invite all tribes to come and witness my promotion to Earl."

As Huotang issued the decree in the name of the clan chief, figures rushed out of the clan's territory.

Although the promotion to the rank of Earl is scheduled for a year later, preparations for the related matters need to be made now.

For example, the offerings and some arrangements during the clan festival need to be prepared in advance to avoid any mistakes on the day of the grand ceremony.

Not to mention that after this promotion, the Blazing Flame Clan will undergo an internal change of positions, with a new clan leader taking over.

As for the tribes that were invited, there weren't many. Zhiyan was a tribe that was truly on the edge of the border region.

Even with continuous trade southward over the years, they have not made many friendly relations with any tribes.

Huotang naturally wouldn't extend invitations to tribes he wasn't familiar with.

Besides, the Zhiyan Jinbo tribe was promoted through its own development, not by having others come to witness the ceremony.

Besides sending clan letters to the Jishan tribes, Zhiyan also had some vassal tribes, for whom messengers were needed to deliver clan orders.

……

The sound of the fire god issuing clan orders, booming like thunder, also reached the ancestral temple.

Even Huo Xian, who was resting in the side hall, could hear it clearly.

He got up from the bed, grabbed the cane standing beside him, and walked to the palace gate with it.

His smile was so thick it made his face contort; he was really about to become a minister.

“Bobu, I never dared to dream of such a dream before.”

Ah Yu, who was standing to the side, saw Huo Xian, who was hunched over, come out and went forward to help him, but Huo Xian waved her away.

"I can walk by myself."

Huo Xian leaned on his cane and headed towards the ancestral temple.

If it weren't for the Blazing Flame Tribe's continued prosperity and the availability of superior witchcraft medicines for him, he would have long since turned into a pile of barren earth at his age of over a hundred.

Inside the ancestral temple, a woody fragrance permeated the air. Seventy-two thick wooden pillars, adorned with purple-gold threads, supported the temple roof, upon which shamanic runes and spiritual symbols flickered intermittently.

When ordinary people enter and see these shimmering spirit barriers, they feel as if they are seeing a sky full of stars.

Over the years, when he had free time, Shen Can imprinted some of his deductive methods and ideas onto these spirit trees.

This resulted in such a dazzling display of words and a scene where spirits and forbidden realms intertwine.

The temple was solemn and dignified, with numerous sacrificial cauldrons standing tall, exuding a mysterious aura.

After Huo Xian entered, he stood quietly in front of the altar for a long time without speaking to Shen Can.

He muttered to himself, and after he finished, he left the ancestral temple.

Seeing this, Shen Can was already used to it. Teacher Wu Xian was too old, and his physical vitality was dissipating. Even with precious medicine, it was powerless to save him.

This is his predetermined lifespan, which he cannot change.

Nowadays, Wu Xian either rests in the side hall or sits outside the ancestral temple basking in the sun, his eyes fixed on the ancestral temple.

As for cleaning the ancestral temple, Huo Xian has been unable to do it for several years now.

The ancestral temple fell silent again. Shen Can sat cross-legged, his aura surging, and the five elements of source power continuously flowed into his body.

After reaching the fourth level, cultivation becomes a gradual process. Even if there are precious medicines that can occasionally lead to rapid progress, it still requires accumulation over time.

He had already discussed everything with Huotang before the ceremony, and Huotang would make all the arrangements.

……

Jishan Bobu.

"Clan leader, Zhiyan has sent a clan letter. In one year, Zhiyan will be promoted to the rank of Earl. Please come and witness this."

The Jishan clan chief took the clan document handed to him, glanced at it, and spoke softly.

"After being in the Blazing Flame Den for so long, I'm finally going to be promoted to the rank of Earl."

A moment later, the Earl of Jishan said again, "The Blazing Flame Temple is a ruthless person."

According to the ancestral rules of Yongyi, having a fourth-level divine treasure is equivalent to being a local lord.

Any superior tribe that suddenly has a fourth-tier Divine Realm warrior will immediately start to announce it to all directions, wishing everyone knew that they are about to become a great tribe.

Even if we have nothing, we must first establish the name of Bobu.

But Zhiyan is doing well; after twenty or thirty years, he's finally about to be promoted to a ministerial rank.

"Prepare a generous gift; I will go in person."

When the Earl of Jishan spoke up, he really needed to go in person. He had gone in person when the Earl of Yanran was promoted.

Unlike Yanran, whom he knew inside and out, he couldn't quite understand Zhiyan, who lived in the northern border of Ji.

Especially the annihilation of Xiaoyang, who retreated to the northeast of Ji more than ten years ago.

The strength displayed by Zhiyan is hardly what one would expect from a tribe established in a short period of time.
Similarly, after receiving the letter from the Zhiyan clan, the Yanran Bo tribe also began preparing gifts for Zhiyan, as he would definitely attend the ceremony in person when Zhiyan was promoted to Bo tribe.

Besides these two major tribes, some well-known tribes, impoverished tribes, and superior tribes in Ji County also received invitations from the Blazing Flame Tribe.

As time went by, the tribes that received the invitation began their journey north, depending on how far they were from their homes.

Meanwhile, the various settlements within the Blazing Flame Tribe, led by their shamans and village chiefs, all headed towards the ancestral temple.

The people from various settlements gathered again and began a feast of wine and meat. When Huotang had nothing to do, he would also drink with his people.

The entire clan territory suddenly became lively.

……

At the source of the Guimu River, a tall and majestic city rises from the ground, named Zhiyan.

This is a newly built city, a window for the Blazing Flame to showcase itself to the outside world.

The guests from various tribes who came to observe the ceremony will rest in this city, where they will be entertained by their own people.

On the city walls, towering blood-red cannons stood in rows, and the hundred-foot-high, dark walls shimmered with witch-related symbols.

There are three city gates on the south side of the city. One of them is a water gate that is directly connected to the Guimu River. With permission, treasure ships can sail directly into the city.

The Blazing Flame Clan soldiers stationed at the city gate, clad in dark green armor and exuding an aura of water, were all members of the clan who practiced the Kui Niu Technique, their presence harmonizing with the moisture of the Gui Mu River and the shimmering water dragon wall on the city walls. "Hurry, hurry!"

A treasure ship over fifty feet long sailed around the giant city from the eastern tributary before arriving at the south gate entrance.

On the treasure ship, an old man with white hair and beard greeted the passengers.

"The Azure Crane tribe, a vassal of the Blazing Flame, has come to congratulate the superior on its promotion."

After inspecting the clan decree handed over by Canghe, the runes on the water gate lit up, and a sluice gate slowly sank into the water.

This scene surprised Canghe somewhat.

The upper level is too strong. Even the clan soldiers stationed at the city gate have an aura comparable to the clan's Heavenly Vein Elders.

"May I ask, sir, has Lin Zhong from Yanglin tribe arrived yet?"

Before leaving, Canghe couldn't help but speak.

His thoughts drifted back to decades ago...

"Not yet."

"That's fine, that's fine."

……

At this moment, within the city, the Earl of Jishan and the Earl of Yanran had already arrived, along with a group of invited clan leaders and elders from superior and declining clans.

Everyone was settled in a specially built residence hall in the city.

Of course, the residences of the two Earls of Jishan and Yanran were larger than those of the others.

"Oh my, this thing actually emits cold air. Is this some kind of Ice Spirit Restriction? I've never seen such a powerful sorcery used to freeze fruit in all these years. If our ancestors knew, they would jump up and beat us to a pulp."

"And this water, it was even delivered through copper pipes branded with fire magic. What a waste! Using magic for such useless things, isn't water everywhere?"

"This Blazing Flame is too concerned about his image. It's one thing for the clansmen who came to serve him to wear the same linen clothes, but they all rode in small flying boats. Do they have too many source stones to use?"

"What do you know? This is called having a mine in the clan and showing it off. If we don't show it off when we're promoted to a chieftain, are we going to show it off after we leave?"

"Look around here, is there enough fire source energy? They even created a fire source area at the source of the Guimu River. How many resources must that have consumed?"

No wonder that over the years, Zhiyan has been selling goods to various parts of Yongyi by the boatload, and the resources he has acquired are probably all for showing off today.

Look, there are witchcraft artifacts in this flowerbed too. What are they for? Are they meant to monitor the growth of the plants? Tsk tsk... Instead of prioritizing people's food and clothing, they're using them on these flowers and plants."

……

Although the visitors kept their voices down, some of their words were still overheard by the Blazing Flame Clan.

However, the clansmen who could be received in Blazing Flame City were all those who had traveled to Yongyi.

I'm already immune to what these people say.

A bunch of bumpkins.

They once thought Yongyi was incredibly powerful, but after going around in circles, that sense of power they held for Yongyi vanished like a bubble.

Of course, not everyone was speaking in a sarcastic tone; some people showed interest in the witchcraft artifacts, talismans, and spirit seals that appeared all over the city.

Inside a waterside pavilion, the Earl of Jishan and the Earl of Yanran sat facing each other.

On the table, a bronze cauldron emitted a chilling aura, and several fruits were incredibly fresh.

"Senior Jishan is in charge of the Frost Blood Qi. What do you think of the Frost Spirit Restriction inside this bronze cauldron?"

Lord Yanran spoke, picked up a fruit, and took a bite.

"The ice fruit is quite good." Lord Jishan also picked up a fruit and said, "You can use more to freeze people too."

"A wisp of cold air can be melted with a wave of the hand, but even a thousand miles of icy treasures can be frozen."

The words of the Earl of Jishan also caused the Earl of Yanran to pause, as this was exactly what he was thinking.

Although Blazing Flame City was not established for long and did not have the aura of time, he could feel the convergence of the five elements' source power as soon as he entered.

It is clearly the source of the Guimu River, a place where countless streams converge, yet it gave rise to the power of the five elements.

Then there are these inconspicuous little gadgets, which are convenient for daily life, but can also be used in large-scale conquests.

Furthermore, the Yanran clan chief sensed even more shamanic talismans and spiritual restrictions existing within the city, but due to his status, he was not in a position to delve deeper into the matter.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
On this day, thunderous drumbeats resounded throughout the scorching city, waking up the chiefs and elders of the various tribes, large and small, who had come to observe the ceremony, as well as the vassal tribes.

One by one, the Blazing Flame Clan members dressed in black piloted small boats and landed outside the corresponding stone halls.

"The Blazing Flame Clan's sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Please proceed to the clan's territory to witness the ceremony."

At the invitation of the Blazing Flame Clan, the group arrived at a colorful and vibrant area in the center of the city.

The Wizard warship is anchored here.

However, the warship had been rearranged, with large seats installed.

Two of them were the tallest, and everyone understood that they were for the two Earls of Jishan and Yanran.

After everyone boarded the warship, a pair of purple wings suddenly opened, whipping up a violent wind as it soared into the air and headed towards the clan's territory behind the city.

The warships didn't fly very high, and the people on board could just see the figures moving through the mountains and forests below.

Those were members of the Zhiyan clan heading to their ancestral temple.

Among all the tribes, there were five tribes dressed differently, each wearing robes of a different color: black, blue, red, white, and yellow.

The aura emanating from their bodies also corresponds to the differences in the Five Elements.

Five different colored teams, like five long dragons, surged toward the ancestral temple from five directions.

When the Wizard's warship landed on the side of the ancestral temple square, just in time to observe the grand ceremony, five groups of Blazing Flame Clan members in robes of different colors had already lined up in the square outside the ancestral temple.

"Boom boom boom!"

At that moment, the drums sounded, and the five teams began to unleash their respective martial arts techniques based on the five elements.

"This is the clan-protecting tempering method of the Yongshan Earl's tribe!"

On the Wizard, the Earl of Jishan looked down at the crowd performing martial arts, a look of astonishment on his face.

Upon hearing this, everyone else present turned their attention to what was happening below.

Isn't the tempering method of the Yongshan Earl's tribe already incomplete?
How could Zhiyan possess a complete inheritance of the five elements!
"No, this isn't entirely Yongshan's Five Stances. It's somewhat similar, but there are variations."

……

At the ancestral temple, Shen Can stood with his hands behind his back.

He watched the changing expressions of the crowd who came aboard the Wizard Ship to witness the ceremony, but his face remained unchanged.

The lineage of the Yongshan Bo tribe is in Zhiyan, but Zhiyan has more than just the lineage of Yongshan.

Today is just the beginning.

Since the fact that Zhiyan was practicing the Five Skills couldn't be kept secret, he decided to show it off and also announce that Zhiyan also had the lineage of the Yongshan Earl's tribe.

At that time, we can take back the witchcraft artifacts and spirit wood of the Yongshan tribe in the name of Yongshan.
