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

Chapter 283 Come, lifespan is full! (Supplement 2)

Huo Tang quietly watched the group of people undergoing the trials, showing no intention of interfering.

After years of development, the number of cultivators gathered in the Sacred Ape Valley has reached 50,000.

The highest level they cultivated was the sixth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm.

Huotang appointed himself as the mountain's master.

After Shen Can delivered the Earth Ant Battle Body Secret Technique, he selected two hundred people in the Sacred Ape Valley to practice it first, in order to check the effects of the practice.

I came back this time to check.

Within the dense jungle, houses are partially hidden, and people practicing meditation can be seen everywhere.

In one part of the jungle, a strong stench of blood still lingered. Several practitioners were under the shade of the trees, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.

This is someone who cultivated by taking the Earthworm Blood Pill.

Huo Tang entered a stone hall with ease. The stone hall led directly into the mountainside, where a series of caves were connected, and the wizard was busy inside.

"Ah Tong, how's the Earth Ant Battle Body training going?"

After entering the stone hall, Huotang found Shen Can's disciple, Huotuan.

She led the valley's wizards to record the training progress of the warriors within the valley.

"Elder Chief, the results are excellent, with a success rate of over 70%, and these people also have strong wills."

Huo Tuan quickly brought Huo Tang a pile of animal hide scrolls. "These are the information about the cultivators. Among them is a person named Ling Shi, whose transformed battle body looks somewhat like a fourth-order descendant of the Earthworm."

Like wild beasts, earthworms place great importance on bloodlines, and upon reaching the Divine Treasure Realm, they inherit even more of their bloodline.

Research over the years has revealed that the first three generations of descendants born to Earth Spirit Realm warriors are the most likely to advance to the Divine Realm.

After the third generation, the chance of advancing to the Divine Treasure will decrease significantly, but the probability of becoming a third-tier being is still very high.

After the tenth generation, the probability of advancing to the third rank will be greatly reduced.

In addition to this normal bloodline inheritance, some mole crickets may also exhibit a phenomenon of bloodline reversion.

They may not know that their ancestors were divine beings many generations ago, and their bloodline had long since disappeared from the public eye, but in a certain generation, they suddenly awakened.

The degree of awakening also varies, with the vast majority becoming third-tier, and a very small number possibly achieving divine treasure.

While listening to Huo Tuan's account, Huo Tang flipped through the cultivation data of the martial artist who cultivated the Earth Ant Battle Body.

After reviewing the data, Huo Tang said, "In that case, let's increase the number of martial artists who cultivate the Earth Ant Battle Body. Show me the list of martial artists who are eligible to cultivate the Earth Ant Battle Body."

Huo Tuan nodded. He wondered if it was because of the Dai region, but the human race in the Dai region was very much biased towards the earth element.

Of the ten people, five or six are of the Earth element.

Of the 50,000 cultivators in the valley, more than 20,000 are earth-elemental martial artists.

It is entirely possible to select a sufficient number of cultivators.

Then, Huo Tang selected 1,200 people from the cultivation list that Huo Tong had brought over.

Most of those selected were at the first or second level of the Heavenly Vein Realm, with average talent. Huo Tang, who had good talent, was not selected.

Speaking of which, although the Heavenly Meridian Technique practiced by the cultivators in Sacred Ape Valley comes from the Blazing Flame Tribe, it is not a subsequent Five Elements Technique derived from the Five Pole Technique, but rather a technique of other Five Elements categories.

For Zhiyan, taking it out was too easy.

half year later.

The Daze River Basin.

The Black River flows swiftly towards the vast eastern marshland.

A stone fortress stands on the north bank of the Dahe River, emanating a strong, fishy odor that can be smelled from ten miles away.

Outside the stone village, there is a cluster of low houses, and people are moving around inside.

This afternoon, many large fish suddenly rushed down from the upper reaches of the river, the smallest of which was about ten feet in size.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the slaves captured many.

Right now, they're preparing a fish feast for the local villagers.

Inside the village, stone houses surround the central hall, and as the bonfire flickers, you can see little earthworms frolicking and playing.

A noisy commotion arose from the main hall in the center.

Black Yang lay on the soft hay, devouring the fish soup in the cauldron in front of him. The fish soup, cooked by a third-tier fish beast, was of great help to his cultivation.

Its ancestors were elders of the Daze lineage, but that was more than three thousand years ago.

Later, the ancestor passed away. The next two generations of ancestors did not advance to the Divine Realm under the blessing of the ancestor's bloodline. Seeing that the bloodline's grace was about to be exhausted, and on top of that, they were ostracized.

Therefore, they were separated from the main lineage of Dongze and led a portion of their people to settle on the banks of the Blackwater River, while also managing the human settlements upstream and downstream of the Blackwater River.

Unfortunately, over the years, no one has advanced to the Divine Treasure level since the ancestor's Divine Treasure.

Fortunately, as slave owners of the human races living upstream and downstream along the Blackwater River, the Blackwater lineage has lived a relatively good life for generations.

Although their tribespeople number only two thousand, they serve tens of thousands of slaves and control human settlements...

While eating fish soup, Hei Yang momentarily forgot how many human settlements he controlled. After all, these settlements were too scattered and everywhere, but they should still have hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in total.

Although the main branch of Dongze was said to have been struck by a meteor, it doesn't mean that these humans dare to rebel against it.

While eating, Hei Yang suddenly felt a little dizzy.

It is at the mid-stage of the third tier, comparable to the sixth level of the Heavenly Vein of the human race, so it is impossible for it to be dizzy for no reason.

Immediately, Hei Yang plunged headfirst into the food bowl with a 'plop'.

At this moment, within the clan's territory, the vast majority of the Black-Breeding Earthworms were devouring fish soup under the service of their worm slaves.

So many big fish have appeared upstream, including two or three of them at level three. Such an opportunity doesn't come often.

And so, many mole crickets, while eating fish soup, suddenly found their heads stuck in the food bowl.

under night.

Similarly, a group of earthworms lay dormant in the low-lying area outside the large village, quietly waiting.

"Today is your chance to put your skills to the test. Go."

The fire statue slowly emerged from the darkness and spoke softly.

Immediately, about a thousand figures rushed towards the main camp.

Outside the large village, the busy slaves suddenly felt the earth tremble.

When they came to their senses, they suddenly discovered that mole crickets had appeared outside the village.

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, someone was shoved aside by the violent force.

Some of the lowly servants were puzzled as to why their leader, the Earthworm Lord, hadn't come out of the large village.

Inside the village, some of the earthworms also noticed something was wrong, since it was quite unusual for someone to fall asleep while eating.

However, in their eyes, there might be something wrong with the fish, and they didn't realize that the fish had been deliberately brought down there.

Before they could even make a move, a swarm of earthworms stormed in from outside the village.

"They're all the same..."

A black-feathered earthworm rushed to the village gate. Before it could even open its mouth, it was flung away and its body was torn apart by several goat horns as it landed.

"It's more exciting to fight among our own kind!"

The small branch, numbering less than two thousand, was easily captured, as most of the members were already in a daze.

By daybreak, the slaves outside the door had all been cleared away, leaving large patches of blood on the ground.

However, a new group of 'slave minions' were sweeping the village, and apart from the fact that there seemed to be fewer slave minions moving around, nothing else seemed to have changed.

At midnight, more than 1,200 live earthworms and more than 600 earthworm skeletons were loaded onto the flying boat and left.

In the main hall.

Clumps of soft, dry grass were stacked together and covered with a thick burlap sack, thus forming a nest.

Tian Jing, looking like a coward, lay on her side in the nest, clearly uncomfortable.

"Give the order that if someone can't help but revert to human form, they should stay inside their dwelling and not come out."

"Our next task is to infiltrate Yan Kong Mountain and cooperate with the Mountain Lord to wipe out the earthworms in Yan Kong Mountain in one fell swoop."

Speaking of Yankong Mountain, we still have to start with Dongze Tulou. They are all branches that branched off from Dongze Tulou. Compared with Yankong Mountain, the Heiyang lineage is not even worth a toe of it.

Yan Kong Mountain has a source stone mine, which is also needed for the cultivation of earthworms.

Long ago, Dongze sent his people to occupy Yankong Mountain. Later, something changed, and the Dongze descendants who occupied Yankong Mountain probably learned from the humans the methods of living off the mountains and mines.

He rose to the level of a divine treasure thanks to the Yan Kong Mountain mine, and then married a descendant of the Atong lineage from his northern neighbor, gaining the support of the Atong lineage and officially starting a fight against the main lineage.

At the time, Dongze and Atong's factions even had a big fight over this matter, which eventually escalated to the ancestral land.

The final result was that the Yan Kong Mountain lineage branched off from Dongze.

Currently, the Yan Kong Mountain lineage still has nearly 200,000 members. After the main lineage of Dong Ze was wiped out, Yan Kong Mountain became the most powerful lineage among the remaining descendants of Dong Ze.

After the main lineage of Dongze was gone, Yan Kongshan had already sent a message to the other branches of the same bloodline, stating that from now on, Yan Kongshan would be the most respected.

The purpose of taking down the Black Breeding lineage this time is to use their name to enter Yan Kong Mountain and seize control of the entire lineage in one fell swoop.

A branch tribe of Tulou with more than 200,000 members, Shenzang only has one, and with the current strength of Xingchen Mountain, it is enough to suppress it.

However, it's not easy to do it without causing too much bloodshed.

Shen Can needed live earthworms, and Huo Tang thought that after working in Daidi for so long, it would be a good opportunity to take out all the martial artists he had trained and put them to the test.

That's why he came up with this idea that would achieve multiple goals at once.

……

The land of the Blazing Flame Clan.

The priest plundered the lifespan of the second-tier earthworm by 132 years.

……

The priest abducted the lifespan of a second-tier earthworm for 107 years.

……

After a flurry of activity, a bloody stench filled the area outside the ancestral temple. One by one, the runes of the shamans lit up, sweeping away the bloody smell as wisps of wind swept through.

Shen Can wiped the blood off the Luan Blade and returned to the ancestral temple with the blood-filled goblet.

Sensing the spirit aura within the sacrificial cauldron once more, the five spirits that had been scattered in the previous battle remained as ethereal as mist, and even attempts at rituals could not awaken them.

After removing some of the earthworm's flesh, the remaining earthworms were quickly collected and cooked by the tribesmen.

Meanwhile, the tribe's hunting teams have slowed down their hunting of wild beasts in the Giant Mountain Range.

One of the reasons I wanted to take action against the Earth Folk was because of the Giant Mountain Range.

The Giant Mountain Range is home to fifth-tier wild beasts, and he needs a large amount of their lifespan to comprehend the cultivation method.

This isn't just about one or two beasts; if too many wild beasts are hunted, it's highly likely to attract the attention of a fifth-tier wild beast lord in the Giant Mountain Range.

It would be bad if we lured out a fifth-tier wild beast.

In comparison, it's better to start with the mole ant.

After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Shen Can walked out of the ancestral temple and saw Huo Ning standing guard to the side.

"Temple, we are preparing to take action against Yan Kong Mountain in half a month."

"Because Yan Kong Mountain is a mining area, in order to avoid attracting too much attention from the Earth Fiends, after we take over Yan Kong Mountain, we will let the martial artists who cultivate the Earth Fiend Battle Body occupy Yan Kong Mountain."

"A month later, the first batch of Yan Kong Shan Tu Lou will be sent back to the tribe."

Huo Ning's words were filled with strong confidence, and with the support of his clan, he could easily wipe out a small clan of only two hundred thousand Tu Lou.

However, in order to avoid causing too much of a commotion and to ensure a smoother transition, we need to do some meticulous work this time.

After reporting to Shen Can, Huo Ning led two flying boats to Daidi.

Shen Can wasn't worried about this mission. Just on the side of the Divine Treasure Warrior Zhiyan alone, there were four: Huo Zhang, Jin Jianhu, Longjiao Wild Beast, and Xingchen Mountain Master Lu Yang.

In addition, there are 108 Heavenly Veins who have cultivated the Fire Ape Battle Formation.

These are all there to hold the line; the real fighters are the local martial artists.

Things are going very smoothly.

On the twenty-seventh day, three flying boats returned to the tribe's territory, bringing down over a thousand Tulou captives.

Besides the mole worms, a large amount of various resources were also unloaded from the boat.

……

The priest plundered the lifespan of a first-tier earthworm for fifty-seven years.

The priest plundered 137 years of lifespan from a second-tier earth ant.

……

The priest plundered 301 years of lifespan from a third-tier earth ant.

……

Outside the ancestral temple, Shen Can glanced at the sky. The sun was about to set behind the mountains, so he put away his Luan Blade.

That's all for today.

Upon hearing the sound, the priests quickly got to work, starting to collect the earthworms that had been sacrificed.

The popular shamanic inscriptions on the ancestral temple lit up, beginning to disperse the stench of blood.

After returning home and rinsing off, Shen Can sat down in the side hall.

On the table were several animal skin scrolls.

"Azure Phoenix Wind Control Technique" (beginner level), "Frosty Profound Technique" (beginner level), "Great Wilderness Thunder Technique" (beginner level).

He marked "not yet an expert" and "expert" himself. "Expert" means that he has already grasped some clues in the process of deduction.

Being a complete novice means having no clue what to do.

He doesn't rush into a single approach and relentlessly delve into a particular subject. Sometimes he changes his mindset and rotates his approach to avoid getting stuck in a rut.

These are the notes he wrote down after each day's deductions, similar to drafts.

Below these methods, there are also records such as "Six-Turn Glazed Image Condensation Method", "Zhou Tian Star Formation Method (Re-evolution)" and "Application of Zhou Tian Star Formation".

In total, he has deduced quite a few things, with the "Six Revolutions Condensing Phase Method" being his main focus.

Although the Condensation Technique has been pushed to the sixth stage, he has not yet broken through to the fourth stage.

The source energy within the source stone was insufficient, so Shen Can tried cultivating in the Yuan Meridian for two days, but then dared not continue, as he almost drained the clan's Yuan Meridian dry.

He thought of the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit and the Spirit Clan, who used the moonlight to cultivate witch medicine. The moon is also a star, so he wondered if he could use the power of the stars to cultivate witch medicine.

Therefore, the application of the Star Array was deduced.

As usual, Shen Can took out a pile of source stones and placed them beside him before beginning his cultivation.

He has recently spent too much of his lifespan on calculations, each calculation costing thousands or even tens of thousands of lifespans, which has caused his spiritual sense to be somewhat overwhelmed.

Each time he wakes up from a deduction, he needs to be stunned for a while before he can recover.

hum!
A large number of Originium fragments shattered and converged into a stream of Originium Power, which was absorbed by Shen Can and entered the Heavenly Vein. Compared with the crystal-like blood energy in his body, the Originium Power transformed from the Originium fragments was like mist and the blood energy was like nectar.

To condense the mist into a fine elixir, you need more mist.

It wasn't until dawn, when all the source stones in the hall had been absorbed, that a nectar-like blood essence was condensed and injected into the divine treasure.

Early in the morning, Shen Can got up and swept the ancestral temple.

After finishing these tasks, he began a new day of rituals.

The priest plundered 337 years of lifespan from a third-tier earth ant.

……

The earthworms kept arriving, and Shen Can swung his knife, sending sparks flying.

"It's suspended today."

A month later, Shen Can, as usual, stopped the sacrificial ceremony.

If he were simply killing these earthworms, he could wipe out thousands or tens of thousands with a wave of his hand. But carving witchcraft into each one and then personally stabbing it into its neck would be too slow.

Even if he is comparable to a fifth-order cultivator, he cannot skip any of the necessary steps.

Then, he sensed his lifespan.

【Shouyuan: 2054784】

Looking further into the distance, there was a prison enclosed by the trunks of an old spirit tree, and two flying boats were unloading earthworms into it.
