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

Chapter 272 The Conception of a New Cultivation Technique
You summarized the results of your failed attempts to extrapolate your lifespan.

The conclusion is that the cultivation techniques that humans developed by observing wild beasts cannot be used as a reference for creating cultivation techniques through clones.

In your view, the power of the Five Elements and the power of the stars are two different powers, but they both belong to the power of heaven and earth.

Both belong to the power of heaven and earth, but humans need to rely on beast patterns to absorb the power of the five elements, so why can the giant beast clone directly absorb the power of the stars?

After careful observation, you discovered that the reason why the clone can directly absorb the power of the stars is because it has star nodes similar to those of the Sky-Riding Beast within its body.

You might boldly speculate that the reason why the human race cannot directly absorb the power of the five elements is because they lack 'five element nodes'.

Therefore, humans need to observe wild beasts to cultivate their martial arts.

You can confirm that the giant beast's clone is originally human. It is because it suffered some kind of mutation that it developed a dense network of star nodes within its body, allowing it to directly absorb the power of the stars, just like the Sky-Riding Beast.

This also explains why the clones gained the ability to absorb the power of stars through post-natal modifications.

The existence of such a successful case as a clone demonstrates that postnatal modification has a high probability of success.

Furthermore, if you extend your thinking further, since it's possible to create beings who can absorb the power of stars, then the power of the five elements should also be able to do so.

You've started another bold hypothesis: the reason why humans can't directly absorb the power of the five elements is because they don't have a 'medium' within their bodies that can directly absorb the five elements.

For example, the Azure Phoenix clan is born with corresponding wind-riding beast patterns in their bodies, so they can draw upon the power of wind from birth.

Taking the Azure Phoenix as an example, you can temporarily call this 'medium' the 'Five Elements Pattern'.

The reason why humans need to absorb the power of the five elements is because they do not have the 'five elements patterns' in their bodies.

If you select some members of your clan and implant 'Five Elements Patterns' into them from a young age, they can directly absorb the power of the Five Elements and gradually strengthen and increase their Five Elements Patterns.

When these clansmen give birth to offspring, will the five elements patterns added to their bodies after birth be inherited by their descendants, just like the bloodline of wild beasts?

Then, after the offspring are born, they will automatically have 'Five Elements Patterns' in their bodies, which can directly absorb the source power of the Five Elements.

You have invested three thousand years of your lifespan to deduce your ideas, but unfortunately, without real data as a basis, the deduction is extremely difficult.

You've memorized this deductive idea, and this deadlocked deduction has ended. You know that without supporting data, spending another ten thousand or fifty thousand years won't help.

The night was still and quiet. Shen Can slowly opened his eyes. The deduction was finally over.

He took out a jade slip and imprinted his thoughts on it.

This deduction can be said to have overturned the current cultivation system of the human race.

Regarding the Star Cultivation Techniques for the Giant Beast Avatar, existing human cultivation methods cannot serve as a basis for cultivation.

We have no choice but to start from scratch, which is equivalent to forging a new path.

Of course, the idea is still in the hypothetical stage; a theoretically feasible path of spiritual practice may not actually be feasible.

If you want to see if it works, you need to conduct experiments to verify it.

The methods derived previously still have some basis and can be used as a reference.

However, a new method is like fabricating something out of thin air, creating something from nothing, which makes Shen Can a little scratch his head.

When Shen Can was reading through the notes of the Sky Clan, he saw that the Sky Clan rode Sky Beasts to places with abundant star power to assist the Sky Beasts in their cultivation.

One advantage of places with abundant energy is that you don't need to use any techniques; the energy will naturally surround you and feed you.

This is why some geniuses can trigger a surge of source energy from birth, while ordinary people need cultivation techniques to cultivate after birth.

The giant beast clone was originally a human mutation, residing in the Great Wilderness. It wanted to devour the power of the stars, but it was too far from the starry sky.

The rabbits would be exhausted if they relied solely on the medicine-pounding rabbit to draw out a portion of the moonlight every few days.

"The day after tomorrow, we will make changes."

Shen Can had thought before that although the Sky-Riding Beast could fly, it could not escape the category of Wild Beasts, and Wild Beasts could devour each other's bloodlines.

Therefore, he thought about whether he could artificially modify and cultivate giant beasts within his tribe.

In retrospect, this theory appears to be highly feasible.

The clone entered the hall, spitting out mouthfuls of blood that shimmered with starlight, which Shen Can collected.

Over the past month, the clone has absorbed moonlight several times. Although each time the duration was short, its physique grew from 103 zhang to 120 zhang.

Absorbing starlight directly is many times more effective than absorbing minerals, and dozens of times more effective than absorbing meteorites falling from the sky.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen pieces of meteorite iron of varying sizes in Shen Can's hall. These things that fell from the starry sky were surrounded by a strong fire element aura.

Meteorites burn continuously as they fall from the sky, and by the time they reach the ground, they have lost much of their stellar energy.

No wonder that when they were robbing Xiaoyang in the sand last time, the clone sensed a meteorite falling from hundreds of miles away.

The hearty meal in the sand allowed the clone to leap from forty or fifty feet to a hundred feet in size.

Unfortunately, finding another star to fall at such a coincidence is not so easy.

Spitting out several mouthfuls of star blood did not cause any damage to the clone; its powerful physique provided the clone with the foundation for its resilience.

Then, the clone quietly slipped out of the formation under the cover of night to find a place with abundant starlight.

Three days later.

Beneath the Five Elements Spiritual Land, a newly built Starry Iron House stands quietly.

The entire house was made of meteorite iron and was permeated with a fairly strong stellar power.

Before long, four guardian beasts flew in.

They were originally cultivating, but Shen Can summoned them all with a single message.

Not only were there war beasts, but Huo Jun also came and took notes from the side.

"Temple, what are you doing?"

After shrinking its body, the dragon-horned beast became as bloated as a small lizard. It spoke first, its eyes scanning its surroundings.

"You still remember the Skyrider Beast, right? Has anyone ever wanted to try transforming into one?"

All the beasts had ganged up on the Divine Treasure Warriors of the Earth Louse within the Broken Heaven Cave.

Upon hearing the sound, I was taken aback.

"Temple Master, you're not kidding, are you? We can become Sky-Riding Beasts?"

Since arriving in Blazing Flame, these wild beasts are no longer ignorant mountain creatures; they have learned more as they have heard more.

"It's up to the animals to do it; how will we know if we don't try?"

"I think."

The dragon-horned beast immediately spoke. Although it had devoured many different bloodlines, the dragon bloodline within its body always firmly occupied its origin.

If the temple allows you to try, then give it a shot. If it works out, you'll make a fortune.

"Your Majesty, I have a small request."

After agreeing, Longjiao said, "That's right, could you wait until you've driven away the Holy Envoy Clan and then transfer me away from the tribe to oversee things for a few years?"

These words were met with sneers from Jin Jianhu and Long Xiong.

Seeing Shen Can looking over, Longjiao was a little embarrassed. "In the tribe, that deer woman always kicks me. I am a dignified mid-stage Divine Treasure Great Wilderness Beast Lord. What's wrong with having a few more wives!"
Let me clarify first, I'm at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm realm; it's not like I can't defeat someone at the early stage of the Divine Realm realm.

"Besides, I am pursuing the ambition of the Ancestral Dragon. There is one in the clan, one in the Dai region, one in the mountains, and two outside the mountains."

Shen Can flicked his finger, silencing Long Jiao. "Alright, I'll transfer you out later."

"Don't worry, Temple Master, I guarantee I'll bring another Divine Treasure War Beast to the clan."

Compared to the dragon horn's unserious manner, the old black tortoise was much more serious. After pondering for a moment, it said, "My lifespan is not long, so I will advance as much as I can."

Previously, the old black tortoise had only eight hundred years of lifespan left, but now that it has advanced to the late stage of the Divine Treasury Realm, its lifespan has increased by several hundred years.

Seeing the gaze directed at him, the old tortoise spoke solemnly, "Without at least two thousand years of lifespan, I feel uneasy. What if I suffer another serious injury and my lifespan is greatly reduced?"

You are too young and don't understand the importance of being prepared for adversity. Naturally, you should live long lives.

Shen Can didn't say much. He opened the witch's pouch and took out more than ten boxes of blood crystals that he had obtained from the Broken Heaven Cave.

Some of these blood crystals were used as nutrients for spirit fruits, while a small portion was stored away for future use. In addition, the Potian Cave has been continuously mined for many years, and the clan still has nearly a hundred boxes of reserves.

These were all formed from the blood marrow of the Heavenly Beast after its death. Shen Can planned to use the blood crystals and the precious blood of his clone as 'starlight points' to modify the battle beast.

He didn't know if it would work, but he'd give it a try for now.

"I'll go first."

Dragon Horn was the first to speak, swallowing a portion of the clone's precious blood in one gulp.

As for the blood marrow left behind by the Sky-Riding Beast, it was set aside, and a decision on whether to swallow it would be made after observing the changes in the dragon horns.

Previously, several war beasts had consumed blood marrow within the Broken Heaven Cave, but consuming too much of this stuff could easily trigger the bloodthirsty and violent energy hidden within their bodies.

More than ten days have passed.

The Dragon Horned Beast flew out of the iron house, its dragon power surging, its aura formidable. It stared with its two large eyes, but it did not emit any star power. It even spat out the precious blood of its clone.

"This thing doesn't fit with me; my bloodline can't refine it."

Subsequently, Jin Jianhu and Long Xiong also conducted the experiment, and their situation was even worse than Long Jiao's. They were able to leave the iron house after ten days.

The blood essence from the clone's precious blood was absorbed, but the droplets of dazzling starlight particles could not be refined at all.

"I'll try."

The old tortoise saw that the young beast was no good and that it, as an elder, had to step in personally.

After entering the iron house, the old tortoise swallowed the floating, dazzling starlight in one gulp.

"Let me, the old turtle, eat the ore."

After finishing eating, the old turtle muttered, "Although this ore is dazzling and beautiful, it's still just ore."

It's no wonder this stuff can't be refined.

After swallowing the starlight, the old tortoise immediately sensed a special spiritual energy contained within the fine particles.

It began to refine this spiritual energy, but found that this spiritual energy was very strange, and actually formed an inexplicable connection with its own body.

"Buzz!"

The dark blue tortoise shell suddenly lit up at that moment.

Shen Can immediately noticed this scene. He had originally thought that if the old Xuan Turtle couldn't do it, he would personally try to see if it would work to directly implant the starlight into the battle beast's body.

After all, his clone, upon inspection, appeared to be filled with starlight.

If you can't refine it yourself, you'll have to use manual assistance.

Soon, patterns lit up on the old black tortoise's shell. These patterns, which were not very clear before, became even more dazzling.

Seeing this, Shen Can sent all the precious blood of his clones to the old black tortoise.

He divided the blood of his clone into four parts, intending to give one to each person, but unexpectedly, the first three war beasts were all affected, as they had all refined the same part.

Sensing the starlight, the old black tortoise opened its mouth and swallowed the starlight in one gulp.

hum!
After swallowing it, the dark patterns on the tortoise shell became even brighter and began to spread to the entire tortoise body.

About fifteen minutes later, the mystical light subsided, and the old tortoise's aura also subsided, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, its body enveloped in a mysterious aura.

Seeing this, Shen Can checked and found that the old black tortoise had entered a 'dormant' state. Many wild beasts would fall into a dormant state when their bloodline was undergoing a transformation.

He refrained from using his divine sense to probe the old tortoise's body again, lest he disturb the changes within it.

Afterwards, Shen Can also sat down cross-legged next to the house and continued to try to deduce the method of cultivating the stars.

Since it's for the clones to cultivate, even without a reference method, the clones themselves are the best reference.

At this moment, their identity has entered the sandy area.

This area is filled with yellow sand and is a frequent site of meteorite falls.

……

Outside the territory of the Blazing Flame Clan.

Within the mountains, the Earl of Jishan poked his head out, squinted at the sky, and then disappeared again.

"Goodness, it's really sticking to this." Li Long lay coiled on Ji Shan's shoulder.

"The Blazing Flame has developed too quickly, relying on just one person to support it. What it lacks is time."

The Earl of Jishan then spoke again, saying, "I'm so envious."

He traveled around Yongyi for a long time. Now, not only are there birdmen patrolling the skies in Zhiyan, but there are also birdmen patrolling outside the Tianzheng, Qingyang and other tribes.

These bird-like people are flying around in the sky now, and they don't seem to care about people anymore.

Li Long rolled his eyes at Lord Jishan and said coldly, "Wipe the drool from your mouth."

Jishan glared at Lilong, "I am a divine treasure, not an old and senile person."

“That guy Bifang even came to our tribe asking me to be a peacemaker. Why the hell wasn’t he here sooner?”

This guy really came to the right person. I was just thinking of having some soup with Zhiyan and sharing it with Bifang and the others.”

"Right now, Zhiyan is busy, but once they defeat the external crisis, they will definitely attack Yongyi. Zhiyan Temple is not one to let a grudge go unpunished."

"It's a pity that internal development is insufficient and external forces are eyeing it. In just over a hundred years, it's not so easy to improve in every aspect."

I feel this war is going to last a long time, possibly even a hundred or two hundred years.

"Give the blazing sun another hundred years, and it will not be able to sweep through Yongyi."

"I'm envious."

"What do you think about me going back to Jishan now, having a few daughters, and marrying them off to the Zhiyan Temple?"

"A hundred years from now, if I happen to ride this wave, I'll be able to kill indiscriminately."

The Lilong wrapped its tail around its head to cover its ears.

"Isn't my idea good?"

Unable to get a response from Li Long, the Earl of Jishan gathered his thoughts, moved away from the tribe, and subconsciously put down the burden of being the tribe's leader. His mood became increasingly relaxed.

As night fell and dawn broke, the Earl of Jishan quietly approached the witch formation, preparing to relay the news from Yongyi to Shen Can.
