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

Chapter 257 Battle Formation Techniques, Fifth-Tier Battle Armor

Dodging the exploding energy around him, Xuanpu swiftly traversed the witch array, taking in the entire scene within.

As he rushed through the central part of the witch formation, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

Above the magic array, a small tower rose and fell, with countless magic runes flowing out and merging into the green magic array.

This tower looks so familiar!

……

Rumble!
When the cannon exploded, Shen Can and the others who were discussing in the side hall of the ancestral temple heard the noise. Huoshan immediately piloted the flying boat towards the place where the sound came from.

By the time the volcano reached the area of ​​the cannons, the black dots in the sky had long since disappeared.

"Chief, they're running too fast, we can't catch them."

"It's that long-haired creature that they showed us before; it flies way too fast."

Volcano knew that the Holy Spirit Clan all came from divine treasures, and there were not many fourth-tier witch cannons in the clan at present; most of them were at the peak of the third tier.

The main strategy is to use one fourth-tier weapon paired with nine third-tier weapons to create a comprehensive attack.

It poses a certain threat in the early stages of the Divine Treasury, but in the middle stages, it depends on luck.

The volcano returned to the side hall of the ancestral temple, where Shen Can and Yan Wanyun were still chatting.

"It's the Holy Envoy Clan who have come looking for us."

Upon hearing what Huoshan said, a murderous glint flashed in Yan Wanyun's eyes.

The Holy Envoy Clan was wiped out overnight. His hundreds of years of hard work and struggle were almost all in vain. On the surface, he did not seem to have changed. He simply hid this blood feud in his heart.

It wasn't that he didn't want revenge, but any random member of the Holy Envoy Clan was of a higher cultivation level and flew faster than him. Even if he wanted to die together with his enemy, he couldn't catch him.

The appearance of Holy Envoys above the valley to probe the scorching heat indicates that their attack is imminent.

Yan Wanyun's hand trembled slightly beneath his sleeve. Damn it, the worst has finally come.

He then got up from his seat.

"Temple, I won't disturb you any longer."

After leaving Shen Can, Yan Wanyun did not return to his residence, but instead took a small boat towards the gathering place of the remnants of Yan Wanyun's people.

"Ah-Can, I'll go check on the preparations of the tribe."

The volcano didn't stop there either. Seeing that the Holy Envoy Clan was coming to their door, it seemed that a major battle was not far off.

"Master Temple."

The Weaver Girl entered the side hall with her head down, taking out a piece of bluish-brown linen cloth in her hand, which was filled with a mixture of medicinal fragrance and fresh herbal scent.

This piece of linen is less than a foot long, and its intricate patterns have a very clear, raised texture to the touch.

"This is a new linen cloth that I developed, and I've also incorporated a little bit of witchcraft."

If this linen is made into clothing and worn close to the skin, it provides good protection. If injured, the medicinal herbs contained within the linen can be inhaled directly, which can help alleviate the injury.

When talking about the cloth she wove, the Weaver Girl's previous shyness disappeared, and her eyes sparkled.

Shen Can suddenly pulled the burlap in his hand, and the burlap, which was about a foot in size, was stretched to four feet in an instant. The interwoven patterns on it were still tightly interlocked, very tough and airtight.

Under the influence of divine sense, every thread on the cloth shimmered with spiritual light, indicating that the raw material was of third-tier quality.

The key point is not just here; there are tens of thousands of knots in every thumb-sized area of ​​the fabric.

The weaver wove most of the silk threads of the entire piece of cloth into basic witch patterns, and then wove these basic witch patterns into knots, each knot being a witch script.

The interweaving of shamanic and scriptual languages ​​has created a state resembling a fusion of shamanic and scriptual languages.

This is why the finished linen fabric has a texture and toughness that reach level four.

Using third-tier materials, fourth-tier quality is achieved through textile processes.

Shen Can asked the Weaver Girl to sit down, and then asked, "Tell me in detail how you wove it."

“I’ve seen the clan’s inscription of the great formation many times before. I saw the clansmen gradually piece together the great formation based on the lesser shamanic script. I wondered if it could also be used when weaving cloth.”

A few days ago, I went to the clan storehouse to select materials and saw a pile of spirit wood. I suddenly had a thought: could I extract the silk threads from the spirit wood and use them as weaving material?

I went to see the Great Shaman Huoyun, who arranged for several Heavenly Vein Warriors to help me extract the silk threads from the third-tier spirit wood. I tried weaving the cloth by inscribing shamanic runes, and after hundreds of attempts, I actually succeeded.

After it was woven, I had the ninth-level Heavenly Vein warriors in my clan try to tear it many times, but none of them could.

Finally, it was the four-colored deer that launched its attack while the fabric was taut, causing the threads to break.

"Well done, you've done a great job."

Upon hearing Shen Can's words, the Weaver Girl's face flushed with excitement.

"The temple shrine was made thanks to the Little Spirit Clan and the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit; I couldn't have woven it without their help."

Actually... you can also soak the cloth in the medicinal liquid to absorb the medicine's effects, which will also help maintain its potency.

Shen Can nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Come with me."

After the Weaver Girl finished speaking, she started fidgeting with her hands until Shen Can called her. Only then did she get up and follow Shen Can out of the palace.

A flying boat landed, carrying Shen Can and the Weaver Girl towards the trunk of the old tree.

The old tree trunk, which is dozens of feet thick, has mottled and gnarled bark, with a glimmer of light shining beneath it.

The Weaver Girl looked up at the old tree, wondering what the temple had brought her here for. Surely it wasn't to pluck the tree's silky veins.

And sure enough, the Weaver Girl was right.

Shen Canlai just wanted to borrow some connections from Lao Shu.

When they killed Mu Xiao's three-headed clone, the clone was carrying a wooden coffin.

The wooden coffin's defensive capabilities were actually no weaker than a mid-to-high-grade fourth-tier defensive magical artifact; it was only because it was at the center of the beast core explosion that it turned to ashes.

The material for the wooden coffin was this old tree.

The craftsmanship wasn't particularly good when it was made; it was just carved out of a section of tree trunk.

Even so, it has the defensive power of a mid-to-high-grade fourth-tier weapon.

If the Weaver Girl's skillful hands were used, could she weave fifth-tier cloth and make fifth-tier battle armor?

If it were truly feasible, then even against a fifth-tier member of the Holy Envoy Clan, one would have the power to defend against them.

Shen Can patted the old tree several times in a row, then his divine sense entered the tree and sensed a chaotic ball of light.

There is a surge of spirituality within the aura, but it is in a relatively simple state, only capable of some basic communication.

Wow!
Upon realizing Shen Can's purpose, the old tree shook violently, the vibrations echoing for miles around.

Before long, a narrow crack appeared on the surface of the bark, and a cluster of blue light shimmered like a spider web, which Shen Can pulled out.

The Weaver Girl watched from behind with wide eyes.

One ball after another, until ten balls were drawn out, Shen Can turned his head and asked the Weaver Girl with his eyes.

The Weaver Girl nodded vigorously.

"I mean the fabric for weaving an entire suit of armor."

As he spoke, Shen Can measured himself.

The Weaver Girl looked Shen Can up and down, then shook her head.

Wow!
At this moment, the old tree shook louder and louder, but Shen Can continued to draw out its veins.

This old tree has a very deep foundation; its trunk stretches for thousands of miles, but only about three hundred miles of it has been manifested.

The extracted threads, nourished by a large amount of source energy, will be replenished in no time.

It wasn't until Shen Can drew out the seventeenth skein that the Weaver Girl nodded again.

"Enough is enough."

As the Weaver Girl spoke, she reached out her finger to touch the shimmering blue silken mass in front of her; it was crystal clear and very elastic.

It is far more resilient than the third-tier spirit wood she used before.

With the extracted silk threads in hand, the two returned to the side hall.

"The cloth needs to be very tough." Shen Can began to make demands on the Weaver Girl according to his battle form.

Previously, every time I changed my battle form, my clothes would be torn to shreds.

With a highly resilient suit, you can make it fit your body perfectly at any time, and it can be made large or small.

"The defense needs to be raised to level five."

After saying this, seeing the Weaver Girl's somewhat dazed expression, Shen Can understood that he had no idea what a fifth-tier Weaver Girl looked like.

Then he said, "The stronger the defense, the better."

The Weaver Girl nodded. She looked at the old tree's silk threads again, reached out and pulled out a broken thread, which she couldn't pull at all.

“Temple, I need someone to help me straighten the thread, otherwise I can’t weave by myself.”

"No problem, just tell me what you need."

"If you want strong defense, the more witch-patterned knots woven in each area, the better. My loom needs to be rebuilt, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the tension of this material."

"There are a few pieces of fourth-tier spirit wood in the clan's treasury. You can use them to make a loom."

Soon, the Weaver Girl began to get busy.

Shen Can personally cut the fourth-order spirit wood into various shapes and, according to the Weaver Girl's requirements, rebuilt a loom and spinning wheel with higher strength.

To help the Weaver Girl weave cloth, even the clan's guardian beasts were brought along.

"I am the dignified guardian beast of our tribe, and you expect me to pull the rope? Do you think I'm some kind of ox or horse?!"

The dragon-horned beast's horns gleamed with a bluish light, from which hung a tuft of silk. Opposite it was a four-colored deer. The two beasts were straightening the vein material extracted from the old tree, as requested by the Weaver Girl.

"Shut up."

The four-colored deer rudely told the dragon horn to shut up.

Having consumed a portion of the Holy Spirit Clan's flesh and blood, the dragon horn successfully used its power to break through to the mid-stage of the Divine Treasury Realm. At this moment, its aura was still somewhat fluctuating.

On the contrary, Long Xiong and Jin Jian are still a bit lacking.

Of course, these two guys were also straightening out the lines.

With the help of the fourth-tier battle beast, the Weaver Girl was much more relaxed. She remembered Shen Can's words: "The stronger the defense, the better."

This requires her to weave the cloth as densely as possible during the weaving process, creating more knots and patterns.

Shen Can didn't stay either, afraid of putting too much pressure on the Weaver Girl.

After arranging everything, he returned to his residence.

"Four Symbols Combined Attack"

He took out the jade slip given to him by Yan Wanyun.

Long ago, he heard that the Yanran tribe possessed a combined attack technique, capable of withstanding the Divine Treasury at the third level.

This secret technique involves gathering the power of four people during an attack, merging them into one, and condensing their blood energy into a single force.

Then, when attacked, the damage will be split into four parts.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Clan lacks divine treasures, but it has many warriors with the combat power of the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein, and even some with the combat power of a quasi-divine treasure.

"Joint attacks against the enemy, sharing the damage."

Shen Can pointed directly to the core of this secret technique. This technique was very crude, and it could only deal with the old and powerful god of the Xiaoyang clan back then.

Further deduction is needed to enhance its power.

You begin to deduce the Four Symbols Combination Technique. You agree with the core of this secret technique, but you do not want to follow the so-called Four Symbols. Instead, you want to transform the Four Symbols into the Five Elements.

In just one year, you have seen through the basic operation of the so-called Four Symbols Combination Attack. This secret method actually contains the mystery of witchcraft formations.

You know too much about the composition of the witchcraft array.

It is easy to see that when using this secret technique, the martial artist himself is like a moving array base, which can gather the power of the four people into one.

Therefore, you began to try to transform the Four Symbols foundation, using the Five Elements as the new framework for the secret arts, in order to form a new Five Elements secret arts.

……

By drawing inferences from one instance to another, you deduced the operating methods of two secret techniques in just over three hundred years.

A method that can be used for both offense and defense, based on the mutual generation of the five elements, gathering enough clansmen who cultivate the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to construct a small-scale foundation for the mutual generation of the five elements.

The other method is offensive, which requires a martial artist of the same attribute as the user and focuses on a single offensive attack.

Having conceived of the two methods, you began to deduce them in greater detail, constantly refining them based on your understanding of witchcraft formations.

Finally, after more than three thousand years of refinement, you perfected the two secret techniques, naming them the Five Elements Battle Formation and the Wild Beast Battle Formation respectively.

After deducing the secret techniques, Shen Can summoned Huoshan and handed him the two secret techniques, instructing him to quickly gather a group of Tianmai clan members for practice.

Soon, more than two hundred clansmen headed towards the place where the three ancestors of Luoshui lived.

Next, booming sounds and angry shouts echoed continuously from the place where the Three Ancestors resided.

Boom!

Inside the valley, the three ancestors of Luoshui were blasted away by a huge fire ape with a single punch, crashing into the spiritual barrier of the Black Water Mystic Light Curtain.

The fire ape was a hundred feet tall, with flames dancing on its illusory body.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"Kill me if you want! From this day forward, I will never suffer such injustice again!"

"Too deceiving!"

The three ancestors were either angry or begging for mercy. They said that no one had ever been treated so unfairly. Ever since they were forcibly relocated here, people had come to fight them every few days.

One after another, the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein has arrived!
What did they think of their esteemed Divine Ancestor?!

They were wronged and refused to accept it!
At this moment, the three patriarchs gazed into the distance, their eyes filled with fear; this time, they were truly terrified.

Despite the criticism, there were only one or two people who challenged them before, and their combat strength was at most at the quasi-god level, which they could handle.

Now look what's happened, damn it, they have no sportsmanship.

There were a total of twelve people practicing the same fire magic.

Although they couldn't understand why their positions were so strange, it gave them a strange feeling.

The twelve 'orcs' who practiced fire magic gathered their energy together the instant they made their move, forming a fire ape that was over thirty feet tall.

The fist was as big as a small mountain. Before it even landed, the three of them felt as if their bodies were being scorched and dried out.

This is completely different from the previous sparring sessions; one wrong move and they might lose their lives.

The Third Patriarch was angry again!
"Take it."

At this moment, Volcano, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, spoke up and gave an order. He could see that the three ancestors of Luoshui were truly unable to withstand the battle formation.

If we hadn't been quick to stop them, one and a half of those three might have been dead.

……

Side hall of the ancestral temple.

Five magical weapons floated beside Shen Can, forming an image of the five elements of earth, metal, water, wood, and fire generating each other, and slowly rotated around him.

These five weapons all come from the Holy Envoy Clan, are all of the fourth-tier superior grade, and happen to be all five elements complete.

This was another gift he had prepared for the Holy Envoy Clan.

The fifth-tier Holy Spirit Clan member who was bombed is very likely to think that Blazing Flame could not possibly have a second beast core.

He was truly out of beast cores, but he had five high-grade fourth-tier Five Elements magical artifacts.

Another month passed, and it was already past midnight.

The Weaver Girl, carrying a piece of cloth shimmering with blue light, arrived at Shen Can's residence.

"Your Excellency, the cloth is finished."
