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

Chapter 370 Auspicious Beasts!

Theory is no substitute for theory. Although Shen Can was very confident in his hypothesis, he still hoped that a sixth-level expert would fall from the sky to show him.

I remember that the halberd-wielding elder once said that if we were lucky, he would take me to the ancestral land of the human race on the way back.

It's been a hundred years; this senior is probably in grave danger.

Since I can't go to the ancestral land, I can only build one myself.

Shen Can gathered his thoughts and summoned the little dragonfish and the four-colored deer.

Currently, within the Blazing Flame Tribe and the Human Alliance, there are quite a few auspicious beasts of varying sizes, but these two are the strongest in terms of both realm and auspicious beast bloodline.

At this crucial moment, the four-colored deer took the lead in stopping the fusion, demonstrating the auspicious beast's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

This reminded Shen Can of what Lu Wu had said when he first met him: that in his bloodline, he was to protect the auspicious beast.

If we say that auspicious beasts and wild beasts are both beasts, what is the difference? The biggest difference is that auspicious beasts are equivalent to wise men among humans.

“Temple”.

The four-colored deer walked gracefully over and bowed slightly to Shen Can in greeting.

In contrast, the crayfish is different; it's a pure husky crayfish.

"Miaotao, it's been so long, I miss you so much."

As the little dragonfish spoke, it plunged its head into front of Shen Can and rubbed its big head against him vigorously.

"Do you miss me, or do you miss food?"

"Hmm, I want both."

Although the little dragonfish has already cultivated to the peak of the fourth rank, its cultivation is actually a bit too fast for the beast race.

In addition, since it was born in the Blazing Flame Tribe, the tribe has spoiled it, which has made the little dragonfish still have the temperament of a juvenile.

Now, among the Zhiyanbo tribe members, besides Huotang and Huoshan, the only one who can communicate normally with Shen Can is Xiaolongyu.

This kid knew how to find food when he was so little, and he also knew when to throw a tantrum and act cute.

"When my Dharma form and battle body merged, how did you sense that there would be problems after the fusion?"

Shen Can pushed the little dragonfish's big head aside and looked at the four-colored deer, asking a question.

"I just sensed that the energy fluctuations on the temple were abnormal."

The four-colored deer's voice is ethereal and incredibly soothing to listen to.

"After advancing to the fourth rank, a portion of my bloodline was activated, making me more sensitive to the energy surges in the world."

The four-colored deer opened its mouth, but it couldn't explain some specific details, as this was a legacy passed down through its bloodline.

Shen Can didn't pursue the matter further. The four-colored deer had a keen sense of energy surging within its mouth, which he considered to be of considerable use.

It seems we neglected the training of auspicious beasts before; we should strengthen their training going forward.

When a human warrior breaks through a barrier, energy surges forth. On a larger scale, the energy changes throughout the Great Wilderness are also a surge of energy.

If we can detect changes in advance, we might be able to predict natural disasters ahead of time.

How many auspicious beasts are there in the ancestral temple?

Shen Can touched the head of the little dragonfish that had come closer again and asked.

"There are more than three hundred of them, but like us, their bloodlines are not very pure."

What do you need for cultivation?

"We don't need anything anymore. We lack nothing in the tribe," the four-colored deer shook its head.

Over the years, it has lived a very comfortable life in the land of the Blazing Flame Clan, and has also had time to comprehend its own bloodline heritage.

Otherwise, how could it sense the energy fluctuations during the temple's advancement?

Especially now that the source energy is abundant, medicinal herbs are plentiful, and the cultivation environment has improved.

"Give me some food, Your Majesty."

The shameless little dragonfish naturally wouldn't be polite to Shen Can.

It discovered that Shen Can's precious blood was completely different from the precious blood of other wild beasts, and was the same as the natural spiritual fruits and witch medicines it usually ate.

Through his conversation with the four-colored deer, Shen Can learned that the auspicious beast prefers an environment rich in the source of heaven and earth's energy, free from bloodshed, and close to the primitive state.

With the fall of the Giant Mountain Range and the subjugation of the wild beasts within by the Blazing Flame or the Alliance, the malevolent aura within the entire mountain range has long since diminished to a very low level.

The Four-Colored Deer possesses a portion of the Seven-Colored Deer's bloodline, and the Seven-Colored Deer is a sacred beast.

It is said that if the origins of the Seven-Colored Deer are traced back, it can be linked to the Bai Ze of the Great Wilderness.

Bai Ze is an being who understands all spirits and the principles of Yin and Yang.

Among the ancient beasts of the mountains and seas, Bai Ze is an extremely powerful being. The key is that Bai Ze's strength lies not only in its combat power, but also in its supernatural ability to know everything.

Thinking about this, Shen Can suddenly realized that the four-colored deer had great potential, and the little dragonfish suddenly seemed less appealing.

……

"Brothers, we didn't get any food."

After the arowana flew away, when it saw the little sparrow and the tiger cub, its whiskers drooped down, looking a little unhappy.

"If you keep eating like this, I'm afraid one day some outsider will capture you and stew you."

The little sparrow stretched out its wings, its whole body enveloped in a blue light, its feathers adorned with specks of witchcraft, making it incredibly lively.

In contrast, the little dragonfish had accumulated a lot of dragon power within its body, which it had not yet refined.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I am the auspicious dragon, who dares to eat me!"

The little arowana swayed its body; it was a dragon, after all.

"Come on, brother, let's go get some exercise. The temple said they'll increase their support for us from now on. You're in luck."

Then, the little dragonfish put its forelegs and lower legs on the tiger's shoulder, and the dragon and tiger walked away arm in arm.

The little sparrow that was left behind chirped angrily several times.

……

Inside the ruined cave.

Shen Can closed his eyes slightly, circulating his blood and qi throughout his body to stabilize his newly broken-through realm.

Based on his current level, he's actually only one step away from reaching the sixth rank.

For other martial artists of the same level, due to the issue of their physical bodies, they might need to remain in this state for a considerable period of time, constantly strengthening their physical bodies, before their Dharma form and physical body can merge.

But he didn't need to. With his vast accumulated power, as long as his Dharma form and physical body merged together, he would immediately reach the sixth level.

As for the troubles that will arise after the integration, that's a second issue.

The next primary issue is to resolve the problem of beast transformation and completely transform one's Dharma form into a human form.

The difference between the Dharma Form and the original body is now only 20%. All that is needed is to completely transform the beast form into a human form, which will solve the major trouble after advancing to the sixth rank.

As for how to solve the problem, there was already a solution when the Wild Beast Battle Body was transformed into the Human Battle Body.

Back then, the Blazing Flame Tribe lacked sufficient strength. In order to enhance their combat power, Volcano and others cultivated several kinds of wild beast battle bodies to increase their chances of advancing to the fourth rank.

At that time, after Volcano cultivated to the second level of battle body, about three percent of the beast patterns in his body had become blurred.

This was also confirmed when other warriors in the clan practiced various combat techniques.

According to recorded data, the more types of wild beast battle bodies one cultivates, the more complex the beast patterns will become, but the proportion of beast patterns will decrease.

As the creator of the Battle Body, Shen Can's starting point was higher than that of other clansmen who cultivated the methods he taught. His first transformation into the Battle Body was when he observed the Kui Niu and transformed into its appearance.

Later, because he re-derived the Five Stances Technique and created the Human Race Battle Body based on the five beast forms of the Five Stances Technique, he transformed himself into a state of being neither fish nor fowl.

As cultivation progressed, it gradually began to transform from a state of being neither fish nor fowl towards a state closer to human form.

During his subsequent cultivation, Shen Can observed the divine forms of Lu Wu and the True Dragon.

The more divine forms of the giant beasts one comprehends, the more stable one's human form becomes, while the appearance of the wild beasts becomes increasingly blurred. Now, only some scales remain, and the distinctive features of wild beasts, such as horns, tails, and wings, disappeared long ago.

The next step is to find giant beasts from mountains and seas, observe and cultivate the corresponding divine forms, the older the bloodline, the better.

Once he has successfully navigated this path, he will be able to develop countermeasures for other martial artists within the alliance.

With this breakthrough, Wu Dao also took advantage of the breakthrough in martial arts and advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank.

The altar-shaped divine court was even more majestic, the number of beast-shaped witch runes increased dozens of times, and the divine sense even increased tenfold.

After stabilizing the situation for two months, Shen Can got up from the ruins and let out a long sigh of relief.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the pile of ruins beneath him.

This is not even the sixth level yet, but a single cultivation session caused the earth to shake and the clansmen to have to move one by one.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

He couldn't really move deep into the Juyue Mountains to cultivate, but he was still a temple shrine.

Traditional craftsmanship is fundamental and should never be abandoned.

It seems I need to find a way to balance the ancestral temple and the cultivation cave.

After leaving the pass, Shen Can directly issued an edict using the peaches from the Temple of Heroes, increasing the protection of auspicious beasts and prohibiting any human from the alliance from hunting them without cause.

Of course, he only issued a general decree; the more detailed terms would be supplemented by the alliance. Auspicious beasts differ from wild beasts; they possess high intelligence, a strong affinity for mountains and rivers, and are friendly to all races.

In this sense, auspicious beasts, like the Kui Niu clan, can actually form alliances with the human race.

Shen Can was planning to wait for an opportunity to formally establish an alliance with a friendly race.

Next, Shen Can entered the Juyue Mountain Range and began to inspect the construction of the great formation.

The construction of the second major formation is also nearing completion, and it should be finished in about seven or eight years.

After so many years of construction, everyone has become skilled workers, and they are also cared for by the Ferret King, Yan Zeng, Lu Zhen, Weaver Girl and others.

Even though Shen Can had been in seclusion for many years, the construction of the entire formation was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

In particular, after comprehending the stars, the Weaver Girl's understanding of formations improved by leaps and bounds, and her talent directly surpassed that of the Snow Ferret King, as if she had become a person who had acquired knowledge later in life.

After inspecting the grand formation, Shen Can's mind traveled across mountains and rivers to focus on the Pu Clan's royal court.

……

The royal court of the Pu tribe.

royal palace.

After King Pu finished discussing matters with several senior ministers, he dismissed everyone, including Earl Qingmu.

There are a total of 37 fifth-tier warriors belonging to the Pu Clan in the entire Pu Clan Royal Court, of whom 6 are pseudo-fifth-tier warriors.

In addition, among the various vassal races under the royal court, there are five individuals of the fifth rank, belonging to four different races.

Living in the territory of the ancient Dapu Kingdom, these alien races may have more powerful groups in faraway places, but after all, the mountains are high and the roads are long. Before the influence of their own races reaches the territory of the Dapu Kingdom, they still need to recognize the situation.

For races with a fifth-tier commander, the Pu Clan Royal Court will grant them a fiefdom, but they must pay tribute to the Royal Court on time and lead their tribal troops to fight alongside the Royal Court in various battles.

Even now, the Jin Yang clan's royal court has still not conquered the two easternmost regions of the Pu Kingdom.

There was no other way; the two easternmost regions of Pu Kingdom also had something to rely on.

To the east of the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, across the Puyang Mountain which runs north-south, lies the territory of another sixth-tier major race.

This ethnic group is called the Ink Spirit Clan.

The two easternmost regions of the Pu Kingdom are inhabited by the Pu clans of Yu Yin and Zhen Yu, who were driven back to Pu Yang Mountain by the Jin Yang royal court long ago.

Although Puyang Mountain is not as large as the Juyue Mountain Range, it is still a vast area covering three million miles. With the support of the sixth-order Moling Clan, the two clans occasionally come out of the mountains to harass the Jinyang Clan's royal court.

This is also what angers King Pu the most. Not only does the Mo Ling Clan interfere in the internal affairs of the Pu Clan, but he is also afraid that one day the Mo Ling Clan will stop pretending and abandon the Yu Yin Clan and the Zhen Yu Clan to invade the Pu Kingdom.

After the court session, Prince Pu boarded his carriage and headed towards a mountain range north of the royal city where energy surged.

There was a palace of his in the mountains.

Currently, the palace is occupied by distinguished guests from the ancient city of Tushang.

This sixth-tier senior, like Gray Serpent Elder in the clan, went into seclusion for many years after obtaining the array inheritance.

Every time he came here, Prince Pu would furiously pound on the carriage shaft.

My beloved Yu Lingbo!
Before the royal chariots even approached the mountain range where the palace was located, they were blocked by a golden light.

Jin Mou stood in front of the chariot.

"Prince Pu, you should go back. The Lord is still in seclusion."

King Pu stepped down from his chariot and glanced at the palace complex deep in the mountains.

“Brother Jin, a few days ago your tribe hunted a fourth-tier dragon. I’ve already had it cooked. Why don’t we invite Brother Jin E and have a drink together?”

"No need. Our lord is in seclusion, and we need to guard the surroundings to prevent anyone from disturbing him."

Jin Mou spoke in a cold tone.

Pu Wang was left feeling awkward, but his expression remained unchanged.

Over the years, he has come to visit every now and then, even though he knows that the sixth-level senior will not see him, he still comes to bother him.

After remounting his chariot, Pu Wang returned to the capital.

"This Prince Pu is quite persistent."

Seeing Jin Mou return, Jin E chuckled.

Not long after, another car came from the direction of the capital, emanating a rich aroma of meat.

Soon, a ten-zhang-long dragon was placed inside the cauldron and presented to Jin Mou and Jin E.

"If I keep eating, I'll feel a little embarrassed to treat Prince Pu so coldly."

The golden crocodile raised its claw and ripped off a dragon claw, stuffing it into its mouth.

Jin Mou didn't respond and directly grabbed the dragon meat and started eating it.

If Prince Pu is willing to give it, then so be it. As for the rest, since the Lord is in seclusion, it's impossible for him to have much contact with Prince Pu.

……

Prince Pu was once again turned away, and Uncle Qingmu soon found out as well.

After returning from the palace, he went to a tavern in the city and booked a room on the highest floor. There he saw that it hadn't even been a quarter of an hour since the King of Pu's carriage left and returned.

It's obvious they were turned away. It's normal for a sixth-level senior to be drowsy at times.

Afterwards, Uncle Aoki left the tavern.

The ancient kingdom of Dapu was also quite vast, covering an area of ​​over ten million li, and had many ethnic groups. This made the ancient royal court a distribution center for resources from various ethnic groups within the country.

With so many races, there's bound to be a lot of information. He needs to find out here if there's any news about descendants of ancient behemoths.

……

The fact that the sixth-tier expert from Tu Shang Ancient City was still in seclusion was entirely within Shen Can's expectations.

He put so much effort into it precisely to let it settle and mature.

During the years that Shen Can has been in seclusion, more than thirty alliance warriors and wild beasts have attempted to advance to the fifth rank.

A total of nineteen individuals successfully advanced to the fifth rank, greatly alleviating the alliance's previous predicament of lacking strong individuals.

Of these nineteen fifth-tier beings, seven are from the Kui Niu clan, accounting for nearly one-third of the total.

After the first Kui Niu Kui Yun advanced, Kui Yang sent it back to its clan territory. Then, the Kui Niu leader led a group of peak fourth-tier Kui Niu to the Human Alliance.

The accumulated strength of the Kui Niu clan over the years, combined with the spirit-gathering array of the Zhi Yan Bo tribe, is equivalent to a powerful force finally unleashed.

This made Kui Yangyue extremely happy, and he couldn't wait to pull Shen Can to quickly establish an alliance, making the alliance between the Kui Niu tribe and the human tribe the best in the Great Wilderness.

Many members of the Kui Niu clan have advanced, but many have also failed. However, with the help of the alliance, they still have the potential to break through again, although they need more time to mature.

Shen Can was also very pleased with the breakthrough of the Kui Niu clan.

Despite the large number of breakthroughs made by the Kui Niu this time, the human alliance will exert even greater efforts as time goes on.

To Shen Can's surprise, after the Yan generation in the clan broke through to the fifth rank, Huoshan stopped talking about giving up the position of clan leader.

In one fell swoop, the people of the Yan generation were thrown out again. Yan Song, Lu Chen and others went to the Fallen Moon Wasteland, while Yan Jiang, Yan Ling and others went to the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom.

The plan is to give them some proper experience so that they can rightfully take charge of the department and even become the alliance leader.

Not only those of the Yan generation from the Blazing Flame Earl's Department, but also others who had advanced to the fifth rank were arranged to go out on missions. Furthermore, some of them were selected to use their fifth-rank strength to once again explore the area around the giant mountain.

This time, we need to thoroughly investigate all the fifth-tier beast kings and fifth-tier forces surrounding the giant mountain to see if there are any we haven't discovered before.

Another major change in the alliance was that the behemoth clone resigned from the position of Hall Master of the Punishment Hall and gave it to Lei Wanche.

The giant beast avatar that retired became a supreme elder of the alliance.

This position is newly created and has a function similar to that of a protector. It does not participate in the internal operation of the alliance, but is only responsible for protecting the alliance.

In addition, there have been slight adjustments to the arrangements for the various departments and halls of the alliance.

The hall masters and directors of the departments are not bound by martial arts or witchcraft levels.

Some departments, such as the Department of War, which controls the alliance's war strategists, naturally require strong individuals to fill these positions.

The head of the Farm Temple can be a wizard, or he can be a farming craftsman.

Because farming isn't something that martial artists or wizards can truly master.

It can be said that most talented martial artists and wizards are not as skilled at farming as ordinary people.

Therefore, the positions of the hall masters and stewards of the various halls in the alliance, as well as their elders and deacons, should be arranged according to the actual situation.

In this alliance, even an ordinary person can rise to a higher position as long as they have exceptional abilities that contribute to the alliance's development.

Ordinary people are not afraid. The alliance has five ranks. As long as you are a judge or a hall master, the fifth rank will always be with you.

Following this logic, even if an elder in the Agricultural Hall, skilled in mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing, is only at the Mountain Opening Realm, he can still be accompanied by a fourth-tier martial artist for protection.

……

Within the Kyotake mountain range.

After sorting out all the events that had happened during his seclusion, both inside and outside the alliance, Shen Can returned to Giant Mountain once again to check everything.

The exact location of the Black Bird's hiding place remains unknown.

Finally, he returned to the ancestral temple with more than ten pieces of newly produced Originium ore veins, preparing to try again to decipher the Originium Pagoda mark of the Tu Shang Ancient City.
