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

Chapter 290: Neighbor
He wouldn't have dared to curse the Holy Spirit before, but as the high priest became this wretched, the greatness of the Holy Spirit was gradually eroding in his heart.

Since he became the high priest of the Holy Tribe, he has never witnessed the Holy Spirit's manifestation, and all records of the Holy Spirit's majesty are inherited from his ancestors.

If nothing had changed, he might have remained a faithful servant of the Holy Spirit for his entire life.

But now...

At Aoshan, he was reduced to a remnant soul state. If the Holy Spirit hadn't manifested its divine power, it would have been fine. But after the Holy Spirit manifested its divine power, it couldn't even kill a human who wasn't even at the fifth rank, nor could it protect his remnant soul.

The great priest was overjoyed when the Holy Spirit first manifested its wonders, but he was also deeply disappointed afterward. The huge gap directly shattered the great priest's sincere faith in the Holy Spirit.

The mighty Holy Spirit, is that all?

The mighty Holy Spirit was thus pierced through the heart of the High Priest by the gray-feathered eagle.

The dignified High Priest of the Holy Envoy Clan—no, now he is a weak female eagle from the lowly Grey Feather Eagle Clan.

Now, my life is over.

From the High Priestess of the Holy Envoy Clan to the Grey Feathered Eagle, although they are all birds, they are worlds apart.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have died on Mount Ao.

A fifth-tier Grand Wizard can create a Sea of ​​Wizard Gods, similar to the divine treasures opened up in martial arts, but his advancement to the fifth tier is through the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

Because it wasn't a normal promotion, he didn't form a true Sea of ​​Witch Gods.

He felt that this was also the reason why his soul began to dissipate after he was broken. Without a physical body to support his soul, it would quickly dissipate into the world unless a sacrificial ritual was used to introduce a sacrificial vessel to become a sacrificial spirit.

But given the circumstances, he had no choice but to select the Grayfeathered Eagle.

It was precisely this choice that led him to his death. Even a great sorcerer with the Sea of ​​Witch Gods only has one chance once his physical body crumbles and he takes over another's body.

In other words, he might be confined in the cave to incubate eggs for the rest of his life.

It wasn't that they didn't resist; looking at the few feathers left on their bodies and their battered appearance, the high priest felt utterly dejected.

His weak, low-level bloodline eagle body could not support his soul, and over the years, much of his soul had dissipated.

I've barely adapted to this body, but I'm still far from being able to control it and unleash its power.

This kind of lowly gray-feathered eagle can only advance to the third rank at most. Even if it is transformed by his soul, it may be able to advance to the fourth rank, but the dream of the fifth rank is broken.

Goooo!

At this moment, the two gray-feathered eagles watching the High Priest let out cooing sounds in their throats, and then their sharp beaks pecked at the High Priest.

The high priest, who already had very little hair, had several more tufts of hair pecked off.

He dared not resist, otherwise he would be swarmed by more gray-feathered eagles and have his feathers pecked out.

"I will surely offer a blood sacrifice to you beasts."

"Damn Holy Spirit, you have no power, what kind of blessing are you bestowing?"

……

The territory of the Holy Envoy Clan.

On the black bird statue outside the altar, mysterious fluctuations lit up. Based on the Three-Headed Secret Technique and after some deduction, Shen Can finally transformed the statue into an avatar.

Soul power surged into the interwoven runes inside the stone statue, effectively enveloping it.

The stone statue that was transformed into his clone is currently unable to move. It's not that his secret technique is ineffective, but rather that the stone statue's origins dictate that this guy is just a stone.

The stone statue was left behind to guard the Xuan Bird Temple, so that if the Holy Spirit were to awaken one day, he could know in advance.

Afterwards, Shen Can took a tour of the Holy Envoy Clan's territory and then left. He also upgraded the protective level of his clan's great formation to a point where even his own family members couldn't open it.

"Finished the work?"

Upon seeing Shen Can emerge, Chi Huo Lu Wu inquired.

"Not a single fifth-tier being left; they've fallen to the extreme."

Shen Can didn't hide anything and explained in detail the previous grievances with the Holy Envoy Clan.

"Back when I blocked their door, there were only these two old guys. I never imagined that after so many years, they would not only not have improved, but would have become even more degenerate."

"That old guy got off easy, but since his physical body was destroyed, even if his remnant soul possesses another living being, it won't be easy for him to recover to his original level. Someone who doesn't advance on his own has no chance to recover to the fifth rank."

Shen Can then raised his hand and took out a magic pouch, pushing it in front of Lu Wu.

"These are two hundred and ninety-eight fourth-tier precious herbs taken from the Holy Envoy Clan's treasury, along with source stones. How about we split them equally?"

Chi Huo Lu Wu glanced at Shen Can and thought Shen Can was really generous.

Even if Shen Can didn't speak, it didn't think about asking about resources. Shen Can was a good partner and could go to the underground cave together. Compared to the resources inside the cave, the mere collection of a group of birdmen was not something Chi Huo Lu Wu really cared about.

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up again: "Beast King, how about this? The potency of a fourth-tier precious pill is too low for you and me."

Instead, I'll take it back to my tribe and have the tribe's shaman re-mix and blend it. That way, the potency of the medicine will be improved to some extent.

When the time comes, we'll split whatever amount of precious pills we make.

As for the Originium, we'll split it equally between us now.

The Holy Envoy Clan has quite a collection, with nearly three hundred precious herbs and over thirty million source stones, all covered in a thick layer of dust in the treasury.

Chi Huo Lu Wu led him to the Holy Envoy Clan's lair. It was only right and proper to give them a gift of thanks. Shen Can thought that since he was going to give a gift anyway, he might as well give more than less, which would also make him seem generous.

Having spent these days getting to know Lu Wu, although he is a wild beast, he has a very good character and manners. He is straightforward, values ​​relationships, and is worth getting to know better.

Shen Can planned to slowly lure Lu Wu into the Blazing Flame. Compared to that, what did Originium matter? As long as Lu Wu could be brought into the Blazing Flame, the meat would still rot in their own pot.

Give it to me, give it a lot.

At that moment, Crimson Fire Lu Wu raised a claw and pushed the witch's pouch back to Shen Can.

"I don't need the source stones to make precious pills from precious medicines."

Red Fire Lu Wu is indifferent to Originium. Even if it swallows a mountain of Originium, the amount of blood energy it can absorb into its body is very limited.

"I do have a favor to ask. Could you perhaps..."

As he said this, Akahō Rikugo was somewhat hesitant.

Shen Can knew from the time he burned the monster's flesh that Lu Wu was a beast who cared a lot about his reputation.

"to make."

Before Chi Huo Lu Wu could finish speaking, Shen Can agreed.

It was so fast that even Chi Huo Lu Wu was somewhat surprised.

It had never seen such a generous human race before, no, it had never seen such a generous being of its own kind, including other races.

Red Fire Lu Wu shook his head. Is this what humans call the bond between humans and beasts? He had a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.

After inspecting the sealed Holy Envoy Clan's ancestral land's grand formation and confirming that it was extremely sturdy and that not even a single flying insect could get in or out, Shen Can felt relieved and returned with Lu Wu.

Now, even if the high priest is not dead, he won't be able to get back into his own home.

The biggest gain from this trip to the Holy Envoy Clan wasn't revenge, especially since he hadn't managed to kill so many Holy Envoys. Shen Can envisioned that such a large Holy Envoy Clan territory, with so many Holy Envoys at the Divine Realm level, could serve as a training ground, just like the Three Ancestors of Luoshui back then.

Even now, he is still working diligently for the development of the Zhiyanbo tribe. Although he is old, he is still very ambitious.

After returning to the Juyue Mountains, Shen Can did not go back to his clan's territory first, but instead went to check out the lair of Chi Huo Lu Wu.

To build a large formation, one needs to first look at where Chi Huo Lu Wu lives so that the transformation formation can be built according to local conditions.

Red Fire Rikuo resides in a mountain range filled with towering peaks, the summits of which are covered in snow.

Below a large mountain surrounded by mountains, there is a naturally formed rift valley, barren of vegetation and covered with rubble.

The source energy here is dozens of times more concentrated than in other places, but unfortunately it is not a simple fire source energy vein. For Lu Wu, who cultivates fire, the effect is reduced by several times.

The powerful aura belonging to Lu Wu lingered within the rift valley, so much so that no other wild beasts were present in the vicinity.

Upon entering the depths of the rift valley, Shen Can felt a surge of powerful source energy.

As you descend into the rift valley, you enter a world of caves, with jagged rocks forming hills that resemble a giant dragon coiled around its roots.

The primordial vein is not large, only a few hundred feet long, but through its branch veins, it nourishes the surrounding land for tens of thousands of miles.

“I never dared to absorb too much of the source energy here when I was cultivating, for fear of drying up my primordial energy and making it difficult to replenish my source energy on my own.”

He was also worried that his vital energy might not recover in time, and if he were injured one day, he wouldn't have the energy to heal.

Chi Huo Lu Wu looked very distressed, just like when he was ambushed by Fei Yi last time. After returning, he absorbed a lot of source energy.

At this moment, even without Chi Huo Lu Wu saying so, Shen Can sensed that the fluctuations of source power emanating from his Yuan Meridian were abnormal.

The source energy in the core area of ​​the Yuanmai is usually as pure as mist. However, the mist formed by the source energy in the rift valley is not only scattered here and there, but also has a large area where the source energy is very chaotic and impure.

This was caused by Chi Huo Lu Wu accumulating a large amount of source stones in his Yuan Meridian after absorbing source energy to heal his injuries, in order to restore the Yuan Meridian.

The Yuanmai can purify the Yuan Stone on its own, but this takes time.

The Red Fire Lu Wu has accumulated so many source stones that the Yuan Vein cannot purify and incorporate them into the Yuan Vein in a short period of time.

If you want to help the Yuan Meridian absorb source energy, it's very simple, just add an array.

After looking around, Shen Can said, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

The man and the beast arrived outside the rift valley, looked up at the sky, and waited until night fell.

Shen Can looked at the starry sky, then at Lu Wu's lair.

After a long while, he spoke: "Beast King, the mountain where you live is too high. You can see that there are not many stars in the sky. Even if you want to set up an array, you won't be able to draw in much starlight."

As you know, it's not easy to draw stars down from the sky, and the conversion rate is not high. So if too little starlight is drawn down, the source power that can be converted will be even less.

Look around here now, it's nighttime, and the moon is blocked by the surrounding mountains. Originally, the moon, as the Taiyin star, received a significant portion of the celestial power, and its radiance was already a major component of that power. Now, it's being blocked.

Currently, our tribe's formation is insufficient to draw upon the power of the Sun Star; we can only rely on the power of numerous ordinary stars and the Moon Star to transform it into the Five Elements Source Power.

Shen Can said a lot, but Chi Huo Lu Wu only felt a little confused and impressed.

Seeing that Chi Huo Lu Wu did not react, Shen Can continued, "To attract starlight, it is best to do so in a place with dense starlight and relatively flat terrain, preferably on a large scale."

At this moment, he paused and said, "The area near my clan's settlement is a place where stars gather; otherwise, my clan would not have established itself in that valley."

The last sentence was Shen Can's real purpose.

Whether the stars are gathered together or not, just look at how bright the starlight they bring down is; Lu Wu saw it with his own eyes.

First, you should become neighbors and live together. How can you say that you two have no relationship with each other in the eyes of others?

Actually, to be precise, the place where the stars converge is where my clone is currently cultivating. It's just that the environment isn't very good. The earth is cracked, lava is rolling, and the stench released from the lava is very unfriendly to humans.

If another massive meteor shower were to occur, it would be a natural disaster.

Chi Huo Lu Wu thought of the starlight that guided the Blazing Flame Tribe, and it really was just as Shen Can had said.

"Then should I move my primordial meridian there too?"

"Didn't we just seize so many source stones from the Holy Envoy Clan? We can directly create a source vein. This cave is reserved for you. Feel free to stay here whenever you come back."

Shen Can said nonchalantly, "Guiding the stars to transform source power is not something that can be done overnight. You can stay here for now."

"I'm not afraid of a long time."

Chi Huo Lu Wu shook his head, "If we move this primordial vein there, wouldn't that save a lot of time?"

"Of course, your Yuan vein is better than my clan's Yuan vein. Even if there are some losses during the movement, we have Yuan Stones, so it is easy to replenish the lost Yuan power."

With these two primordial veins combined, the scale of star-guiding can be expanded, allowing for the establishment of even more star-guiding arrays.

At this moment, Chi Huo Lu Wu spoke up, "Does that mean the more Yuan Meridians the better?"

"Of course, the more Yuan Meridians there are, the more source power that can be drawn from the stars and transformed can be preserved on the earth. Otherwise, if the source power is not preserved by Yuan Meridians over time, it will dissipate into the world."

The Juyue Mountain Range is so vast that no matter how much source energy is dispersed, it cannot fill this entire land.

"Our clan's grand formation is constantly activated because we fear that the source energy will dissipate."

Lu Wu, adopting the air of a mountain tycoon, said, "I do know quite a few minor Yuan Veins."

……

soon.

North of the Blazing River Valley, amidst the undulating mountains and forests, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded. A mountain thousands of feet in size crumbled into a pile of rubble under the claws of a tiger.

In a single day, dozens of mountains were reduced to ruins, leaving behind a scorching heat.

Flying boats sped through the area, beginning to clear away the rubble.

In the clan palace.

"Chief, we have already mobilized 300,000 people to work, and it is estimated that the transformation will be completed within a month. At that time, the area of ​​the river valley where the clan's territory is located will be expanded to four times its original size."

Huo Zhang rushed over to report the situation to Huo Shan.

Pushing down mountains doesn't mean knocking down all the mountains; some mountains even need to be reinforced. It's all done in an orderly manner according to a pre-planned schedule.

“Perfect timing. You come with me. Let’s go see the temple. The number of tribes and subjects that the temple asked us to count has been compiled a long time ago, but it’s been delayed until now. The temple has finally made time.”

Side hall of the ancestral temple.

On Shen Can's desk was a new map of the clan's land redevelopment plan. Ever since returning from Lu Wu's lair, he had been busy thinking about this new plan.

This plan involves the renovation of 365 star-guiding arrays of different sizes and grades within the clan, which is being carried out according to this diagram.

When the volcano and the fire seal arrived together, Shen Can was still pondering how to improve the blueprints.

The two fifth-tier beings cannot be too close together, lest they compete for each other's source power during cultivation, nor can they be too far apart, otherwise there would be no point in him recruiting Chi Huo Lu Wu.

Only by getting close can you pull Chi Huo Lu Wu into the scorching flames.
