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

Chapter 270 Digesting the Loot: Strategies
Outside the blazing array.

Yunmo spread his wings and flew over the great formation. He used his pupil technique to look down into the formation, reflecting all the mountains, rivers and figures within the formation in his eyes.

As instructed by Lord Xuanqi, we must not get too close to the great formation, but only pass by it at a high point.

hum!
Suddenly, the green array surged, its dazzling green light obscuring the scene within.

Oh no, someone is about to go out.

Lord Xuanqi also said to observe the movement of warriors outside the formation and to promptly notify anyone who leaves.

The formation suddenly began to conceal the scene inside, which meant something was definitely happening.

Yunmo instinctively tried to fly down, but stopped as soon as he flapped his wings.

"I'll just go down a little bit, just a little bit. I have eye techniques and wings."

"As long as I fly fast enough, even if the peak Divine Realm warriors below make a move, they won't be able to catch me."

Yunmo pondered that the tribe's Shepherd Spirit Masters and Hunting Sacrifice Masters had almost all been lost, and those of them who had failed to advance to the two ranks had another chance.

However, there were more than forty members of the clan in the early stages of the Divine Treasury, and they needed to make contributions to be promoted.

Just a little bit lower.

Thinking of this, Yunmo spread his wings and swooped down.

Within the shimmering green array, a blurry flying boat could be seen moving about, seemingly trying to break out of the array.

The airship was filled with figures, making it difficult to see clearly even with eye techniques.

For a moment, he went down a little further.

Boom!
At that moment, a large crack appeared in the green light array, and the volcano, carrying its battle flag, soared into the sky.

Below, a group of figures hidden in the old forest emerged, their fighting spirit rising.

The war drums hanging on the waist of the volcano beat loudly, and the battle flags fluttered, drawing all the fighting spirit floating in the air into the flags.

Volcano, gripping the battle flag with both hands, felt himself being infused with terrifying energy.

He raised the flag with both hands and slashed at the Holy Envoy warrior who was falling slightly.

boom!
A burst of blood-red light shot straight up, dazzling and eye-catching.

Yunmo was shocked and quickly flapped his wings to fly, but he was hit by an energy that had risen thousands of feet into the air after only flying a hundred feet.

The surging energy exploded, forming a blood-fire mushroom cloud that blasted Yunmo high into the air, with the blood-fire seeping into every pore of his body.

Finally, it exploded with a deafening roar.

Outside the great formation, Xuanqi, hearing the commotion, quickly spread his wings and flew into the air.

"Yunmo!"

He cursed under his breath. He had clearly told them that they could not fly below two thousand feet, otherwise they would be in danger of not being able to fly away in time, but there were still fools who did not listen to his advice and wasted the clan's strength.

Seven or eight more figures flew up beside Xuanqi.

As instructed by the High Priest, if any deity other than Shen Can emerges from the magic array, they can attempt to take action.

If Shen Can emerges, he will awaken the High Priest.

Even if we can't defeat Shen Can, we can't let Shen Can and this tribe live in peace.

They did nothing else but guard the witch formation and launch a sneak attack.

Sneak attacks for ten years, fifty years, a hundred years, two hundred years...

This caused the Blazing Flame Division to collapse during the sneak attack.

Alternatively, you could stay within the formation for the rest of your life.

……

Volcano, carrying a large banner, killed a Saint Envoy Clan warrior and landed on an old tree in the clan's territory. His body crackled and popped, the beast markings on his body lit up with crimson flames, and his body rumbled loudly.

Shen Can watched from the side, sensing the changes within the volcano.

Under the impact of the fighting spirit, the volcano seized the opportunity, mobilized its fighting spirit to attack its own divine treasure, and forcibly broke through the bottleneck of the divine treasure.

Of course, this forced breaking through causes more than ten times the damage to the divine treasures and physical body compared to a normal breakthrough.

“Master, this is no different from those martial artists in Yongyi who were lucky enough to advance to the Divine Realm. As long as their physical body is strong, they can try this.”

Huo Jun stood to one side, surrounded by hundreds of wizards, all observing the changes in the volcano.

"Although the clan's leader, Tian Dan, only had ordinary foundation when he advanced to the Heavenly Vein realm, he still managed to raise his battle body to the Quasi-God Realm thanks to his exceptional physical talent."

"You mean that guy who, when he was at the sixth level of the Heavenly Meridian, had a higher level of cultivation in battle than those at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Meridian?"

Shen Can immediately remembered who Huo Jun was talking about. She was indeed exceptionally gifted in physical matters, with a natural advantage over others.

He also cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body, making up for some of his wasted resources and achieving a quasi-god-level combat strength.

Over the years, Tian Dan has been following the old clan chief in Daidi.

“Master, I think among the several quasi-divine treasure level combatants, Tian Dan could try to use this method of borrowing external force to forcibly bombard the divine treasure and complete the divine treasure advancement.”

There is a 70% chance that Tian Dan's physical body could withstand such an external attack.

Of course, serious injury is inevitable, and even after advancement, there's a very high chance that one will only be able to reach the early stage of the Divine Treasury realm.

Huo Yun wasn't just making things up; she had the cultivation status of everyone in the clan memorized.

She didn't mention other warriors with quasi-divine level combat power, such as Shi Jun and Huo Ning.

According to the data she recorded about Shi Jun and Huo Ning, if the two of them used this external force to forcibly bombard the divine treasure, Huo Ning's chance of survival would be about 30% to 40%, while Shi Jun's would be less than 20%.

The reason I'm telling Shen Can now is that the current Blazing Flame Sect desperately needs Divine Realm warriors.

As for the old clan chief Huotang, he shattered with a single blow, a mere fragile piece.

In Huo Yun's view, as long as a clansman's combat power reaches the level of a quasi-divine treasure, they are all capable of attempting to obtain divine treasures in terms of their physical body, although the result may be quite tragic.

After all, the various tribes of Yongyi, especially those with hereditary chieftainships, were all forced through by martial artists.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these people made it through; the chances of survival are extremely low. Only those who made it through are known to others, while countless others have died in secret with their divine treasures shattered.

What Huo Yun is talking about is a purely reckless approach, of course, a reckless approach taken with a certain probability of success. It should be described as both cautious and reckless.

"We'll summon Tian Dan back and ask him what he wants."

Shen Can gave Huo Jun some instructions and then turned and headed towards the ancestral temple.

Volcano has successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Divine Treasury realm, but it suffered a minor injury.

"puff!"

As Shen Can turned around, the volcano standing on the old tree could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, swaying as it almost fell off the tree.

A group of wizards surrounded the volcano, lifted it under the tree, and began to administer medicine and examine its body.

"Don't give me the medicine yet. I need to record the extent of the damage to the divine treasure and the tearing of flesh..."

Upon hearing the sound, Volcano, who had opened its mouth, snapped it shut and silently recited, "I am the clan leader."

……

Side hall of the ancestral temple.

When Shen Can returned, he saw the remains of the bead-shaped magical artifact that had shielded the High Priest from the final blow. A hazy, blood-red glow emanated from a pile of crystal-like fragments, and a blurry, silent phantom of a little girl flickered between light and shadow.

It's like a flame that's run out of grease, struggling to stay lit.

The spirit of this magical artifact has not yet been extinguished and seems to be showing signs of self-repair.

Letting it heal on its own, Shen Can sat down cross-legged.

The Holy Envoys have become quite clever and are starting to take advantage of their ability to fly and move quickly.

Now, whoever steps out of the formation will be ambushed once they are discovered.

The Blazing Flame tribe is now in an awkward situation. There is a fifth-tier shaman hiding ominously outside, and a group of divine-hidden human-birds ready to launch a sneak attack at any time. This makes the Blazing Flame tribe somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

As for the cross-regional attacks on the Bo tribes that participated in the siege of Zhiyan, unless Shen Can personally takes action, the probability of relying on the warriors within the clan to break through these Bo tribes is basically zero.

The Bo tribe, with its 8,000-year-old heritage, all possess fifth-tier techniques.

For example, the Bi Fangbo tribe all have large formations protecting their core areas, as do powerful tribes like the Tianzheng and Zhu Yan.

If Shen Can takes action personally, the clan's territory will be vulnerable. What if the Holy Envoy, clan elders, or priests bring out some beast-shaped artifacts or witchcraft?

Putting aside everything else, just one fifth-tier magical artifact is enough to shatter the great formation.

Once he is not in the clan's territory, there is no way to defend against the high priest.

The Holy Envoy Clan was furious after being beaten so badly, and a blood feud had been formed. There is a high possibility that the High Priest would detonate the magical artifact to break the scorching flame array.

As night fell, a noise came from outside the door, and three little heads squeezed together in the doorway.

"Master Temple."

Little Dragon Fish, accompanied by Little Sparrow and Chi Tiger, first bowed to Shen Can outside the door before filing in.

All three little creatures are auspicious beasts, especially the Chihu, which possesses half of innate spiritual energy, which is currently colliding within its body.

After decades of cultivation, coupled with constant feeding from its clan, the little dragonfish has reached the peak of the third tier.

It can be said that finding the right meal ticket saved at least several decades of cultivation time.

With a flick of Shen Can's finger, a crystal-clear, golden-tinged blood bead landed round and plump in front of the three little ones.

This is a portion of pure blood essence extracted from the war beasts of the Changyoubo tribe. Although it is an auspicious beast, the little dragonfish can also devour the essence of wild beasts, but it doesn't usually like to eat them.

"Is it an early New Year?!" Little Dragon Fish, Little Sparrow, and Chi Tiger stared wide-eyed at the essence blood beads in front of them.

"Refine it carefully and see if you can advance to the fourth rank."

Shen Can divided the blood droplets into three portions: medium, large, and extra-large.

The extra-large portion was given to the arowana, and the remaining two portions were sealed inside the little sparrow and the dragon tiger, respectively.

These three little guys weren't the only ones to share the spoils; Golden Sword Tiger, Dragon Horned Beast, and Fire Bear also got their hands on beast meat.

Shen Can divided the flesh and blood of the slain ferocious beast into three pieces and gave them to the three guardian beasts of the clan, letting them find a place within the clan to refine it.

As for the Azure Phoenix, to be honest, among the clan's guardian beasts, the Azure Phoenix was the unluckiest. It was severely injured right from the start, and now even has a broken wing, greatly reducing its strength.

Fortunately, at least I survived.

In addition, there are eight sacrificial spirits, five of which have reached the point where their aura has faded into nothingness.

This is no longer something that can be restored through sacrifice or the power of wishes.

The 'spirit' of the sacrificial spirits is the very foundation of their existence; once they use their power, the 'spirit' is consumed.

This is also why the spirits of the sacrificial ceremony wither away.

In addition to the cultivation of their own martial artists, Yan Wanyun, who was temporarily residing in the Blazing Flame Clan, was not neglected either, and also sent precious medicines as cultivation resources.

The little dragonfish swallowed the blood bead with a "whoosh," and, having learned it from someone, said coyly, "Your Majesty, please rest well. This humble one will take his leave."

Then, Shen Can flicked the little dragonfish away with one finger. After rolling around on the ground a few times, it got up on its own.

"Men, let's go, it's almost time for dinner. I need to advance to the fourth level and become a true dragon."

Little Sparrow and Chi Tiger followed, and the three of them huddled together and disappeared into the distant jungle.

……

Shen Can shook his head. This is the downside of focusing on strength but not on intelligence. Xiao Longyu's training in the Blazing Flame Tribe is much faster than wandering aimlessly in the mountains.

No one bullies it, so it doesn't have to worry. All its thoughts are focused on eating.

It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to throw it into the Giant Mountain Range for a few years.

Shen Can sat down behind the table, which was piled with animal hide scrolls, jade slips and other items. Among them, the animal hide scrolls, which had been spread out for a long time, were filled with dense text.

The records on these animal skin scrolls and jade slips are the handwritten notes of the Sky-Riding Clan, compiled by the clan's shamans.

It was Shen Can who came up with the idea of ​​escaping the awkward situation, dealing with the Holy Envoy Clan, and getting revenge on various tribes; he was the one who came up with the possible breakthrough.

The Celestial Race resides in the heavens, riding colossal beasts that devour stars and grow ever larger.

According to the records of the Chengtian Clan, the giant beasts in their clan are incredibly large, reaching hundreds of miles in size upon first entering the Divine Treasury.

This is a very mysterious beast race; their enormous physique gives them powerful vitality.

To kill a Divine Realm Sky-Riding Beast, one would have to pay a heavy price to completely extinguish its life force.

The Sky-Riding Beast feeds on stars, and coincidentally, Shen Can's clone's ability to absorb minerals is similar to that of the Sky-Riding Beast, and there are also scenes resembling the starry sky manifesting within its body.

Furthermore, the Sky-Riding Beasts do not have specific realms; they can grow stronger simply by consuming stars.

His clone is the same; it is now only comparable to the late stage of the Divine Treasury realm, yet it has already grown to a size of a hundred feet.

Although it is far inferior to the Sky-Riding Beast, it is still far superior to the physique of wild beasts on the Great Wilderness.

In Shen Can's view, the territory of the Chengtian Clan was a unified fortress and a unified combat unit.

This is far more powerful than any flying boat or warship; it's practically a warship mothership, capable of carrying warships and tribal troops.

It was a mobile fortress, providing everything from eating and drinking to relieving oneself, weapon forging, training, and rest.

If Zhiyan had such a Sky-Riding Beast, it wouldn't even need to be too big; a size of a dozen miles in radius would be sufficient for its current needs.

With the addition of a large formation and a certain number of warriors, along with war flags and drums, it is enough to make up for the lack of divine warriors within the Blazing Flame Clan and the overall weakness of their strength.

Such a living, mobile war fortress will be of great use in dealing with the Bo tribe besieging the Blazing Flame, the Tu Lou of the Dai lands, and even the Holy Envoy tribe.

Of course, Shen Can wasn't just thinking about these things; he also wondered if the clan's war beasts could be transformed into "Sky-Riding Beasts".

Otherwise, with the strength of the Blazing Flame Clan, they wouldn't even be able to fly into the sky, let alone find a pure-blooded Sky-Riding Beast.

Without a Sky-Riding Beast, I'll have to train one myself. I'll start by researching my own clone, then combine it with information on the Sky-Riding Clan to see if the training path is feasible.

According to the information compiled from the ruins of the Sky Clan, there are no records of the Sky Clan's cultivation methods, only some methods to help the Sky Clan absorb the power of the stars.

In the understanding of the Sky-Riding Clan, Sky-Riding Beasts are exotic wild beasts whose talent lies in eating stars to grow their bodies, and they have no so-called cultivation methods.

This is similar to many wild beasts in the Great Wilderness, where bloodlines are paramount and they devour each other.

Therefore, they would ride their Sky-Riding Beasts to places rich in stellar energy to capture suitable stars for the Sky-Riding Beasts to eat.

The power of stars is a realm that the Great Wilderness Human Race has never explored. Even within the halberd marks left by the Great Halberd Senior, Shen Can only sensed six attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind.
