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

Chapter 403 Instructing the temple to do work and transporting resources

In the Blood Refining Pool of the Holy Hou Clan.

The essence of gold and silver flowed, constantly being absorbed into the bodies of the figures soaking in the pool.

As the oldest member of the Kui Niu clan, Kui Yang's cultivation level was fixed at the mid-stage of the fifth rank long ago.

Although he subsequently obtained a considerable amount of cultivation resources within the alliance, he still failed to make further progress in his cultivation level.

But at this moment, with the help of the Holy Hou Clan's Blood Refining Pool, Kui Yang's indigo body instantly transformed into jet black, and a layer of old skin began to appear on its surface, ready to peel off.

The sounds of bulls mooing and phoenixes crying rose and fell, and the Azure Phoenix Clan opened their mouths and quickly pecked at the gold and silver glitter in the blood.

These swimming lights, like gold and silver fish, are the essence condensed from the gathering of countless living beings in the Blood Refining Pool. As long as they are refined into the body, they can easily strengthen one's own origin.

The arowana opened its mouth wide and chased after the goldfish, devouring them.

The most dramatic event was undoubtedly the Kui Niu leader, whose body now displayed the phantom of a massive Kui Niu.

The black phantom of the Kui Niu was as imposing as a mountain, and its immense pressure caused the other figures absorbing the essence to retreat to the side.

The leader of the Kui Niu also carefully restrained his aura, trying his best to contain the pressure of the Kui Niu phantom within a radius of a thousand feet.

As he absorbed more and more gold and silver fish, the emerging black Kui Niu phantom began to emanate a faint golden light from its single leg.

There are quite a few members of the Holy Hou clan who are less talented than the Kui Niu leader, but they managed to advance to the sixth rank by relying on the clan's resources.

At this moment, the leader of the Kui Niu saw hope for a smoother advancement to the sixth rank.

He made a whooshing sound, deep and muffled like thunder, swallowing large amounts of thick, sticky blood with each gulp.

Every time the mouth opens and closes, blood rushes in and then flows out from the sides of the mouth.

The gold and silver fish that originally entered his mouth along with the blood were absorbed into his body and transformed into nourishment for his own essence.

Just as the Crimson Fire Lu Wu absorbed the power of the sun, the blood aura surrounding the Kui Niu leader grew increasingly dense.

Later, it transformed into a blood cocoon hundreds of feet in size. The black phantom of the Kui Niu slowly imprinted itself on the blood cocoon, shimmering with a faint golden light. The blood cocoon continued to absorb the essence of the gold and silver fish from the blood.

The leader of the Kui Niu is a creature that undergoes a transformation, followed by the Little Dragon Fish, then the Azure Phoenix Little Sparrow, the Chi Tiger, the Kui Yang, and so on.

While improving one's bloodline origin may lead to a slight increase in cultivation level, the real benefit lies in how the enhanced origin helps one advance to subsequent cultivation levels.

For wild beasts, the more abundant their ancestral bloodline, the stronger their combat power, and the higher the realm they can cultivate to.

In the Blood Refining Pool, cocoons of different sizes and colors appeared one after another.

Of course, not all of them grew large cocoons to enclose themselves; some figures floated on the blood, only making slight contact with it as if they were floating on water.

For example, the medicine-pounding rabbit and some auspicious beasts with impure bloodlines, although they entered the blood refining pool, did not immerse themselves completely in the blood.

Of course, this doesn't mean they absorb less essence; it's just that each race has different cultivation methods.

It's obvious without much thought that a place possessing such a precious bloodline is not easily entered.

Being able to get in even once is a great opportunity, so naturally we can't waste a single moment.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in cultivation, Shen Can also left the basin and reinforced the spiritual barrier protecting the basin once again.

Improving one's bloodline origin takes time, and how long that takes depends on the individual's cultivation progress.

For the Holy Hou clan, the use of the Blood Refining Pool must take into account sustainable development, but Shen Can cannot take it with him. With the situation in Tu Shang Ancient City unstable, they can only resort to short-sighted measures.

If the alliance warriors and creatures he summoned can drain the Holy Hou Clan's Blood Refining Pool, then at least one-fifth of these seven hundred-plus creatures will be able to advance to the sixth rank, and the rest will be able to advance to the late or peak fifth rank.

One hundred and fifty or sixty beings advanced to the sixth rank; that's a rather high proportion.

Consider this: these are the best-blooded wild beasts selected from the alliance, descendants of auspicious beasts capable of cultivating in the blood pool, and a group of humans with good talent and the strongest willpower.

The Holy Hou Clan made up for the Alliance's lack of foundation. If there weren't such a high probability of advancement, then there would be no point in playing.

Oh, and thank you, Holy Hou Clan.

……

Three months later.

The Kui Niu leader awoke, his cultivation level smoothly rising to the peak of the fifth rank, and his Kui Niu essence further enhanced.

After the Kui Niu leader broke through the blood cocoon, he was about to let out a long roar when he subconsciously stopped himself.

The location was not right. Most of the creatures were still immersed in improving their own essence. Only less than a hundred figures had awakened first, but they were all quietly cultivating.

After forcibly suppressing his excitement, the Kui Niu leader muttered softly, "This time I finally don't have to watch that red tiger act all cocky all day."

No wonder the leader of the Kui Niu grumbled; ever since Chi Huo Lu Wu discovered that sunbathing could nourish his own essence, he's been walking with an air of superiority.

Over time, everyone gradually woke up.

Kuiyang advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank, and the Kui Niu essence within his body doubled.

The little dragonfish transformed into a three-clawed dragon, with surging dragon power emanating from its spine.

If it continues like this, and if it can advance to the seventh rank in the future and undergo the baptism of heaven and earth, it may be able to transform into a five-clawed true dragon.

Seven colorful feathers have grown on the tail of the little sparrow, though they are still quite short and hidden among the blue feathers.

As for the more than one hundred martial artists in the alliance, none of them advanced during this training. However, when they circulated their blood energy, each of them generated hundreds of feet high blood energy smoke behind them, from which various beast shapes emerged.

Although the alliance warriors who have cultivated various beast battle bodies cannot compare to Shen Can's battle body height, their beast battle bodies are now all over a hundred feet in size.

These people will almost never encounter any more bottlenecks before reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Of course, Shen Can couldn't guarantee 100% certainty. It was possible that one of the alliance warriors might be unlucky and get stuck.

"You should all go to the Human Race. There you'll find the advancement-support formation created by the Alliance."

The weakling race has a fifth-tier Grand Wizard in charge, who leads a group of wizards to record cultivation data.

The breakthrough process of the numerous beings that absorbed the blood-refining pool spirits of the Holy Hou Clan provides excellent comparative data with the breakthrough process of other beings in the alliance.

Not one can be missing; all of them must be written down.

Using the large ships that had entered, they secretly sent all the beings of the alliance out of the Holy Hou tribe. After carefully avoiding being spied on, they made a large detour and entered the Weakling tribe.

Only after the Alliance creatures safely entered the Human Race did Shen Can feel relieved, and he began to consider what to do next.

Should they quietly retreat, or continue to stir up trouble?
Compared to the situation in Tu Shang Ancient City, Shen Can was more concerned about the situation in the North.

Unfortunately, the North is too far away, and the one who made the move was a seventh-level expert, so it was beyond our reach.

What the alliance needs to do now is to transport the resources back to the alliance as soon as possible.

With these resources, we can either reinforce our formations or abandon the Giant Mountain Range and relocate our clan to build a new human alliance base.

At this moment, he was racking his brains to think of a way to cause more trouble for the seventh-tier Holy Hou Clan of the North.

Shen Can also distinguishes between the five great clans of Tu Shang Ancient City.

The Holy Hou Clan and the Golden Lion Clan know the details of the Giant Mountain Human Clan's formations; it would be best if the ancestors of these two clans were dead.

It would be best if the ancestors of the three clans—the Wind-Bearing Clan, the Lake-Bearing Clan, and the Fire-Slaying Clan—were injured, preferably with injuries that would render them immobile for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Unfortunately, Shen Can could only dream about it; he was now powerless to intervene.

"Fallen dragon, fallen dragon..."

While pondering, Shen Can's eyes lit up. A fallen dragon is still a dragon, right?

Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom! Although the Dragon Clan does not acknowledge fallen dragons and may even kill them, given their arrogant nature, can they really tolerate the five great holy clans of Tushang Ancient City surrounding and killing fallen dragons?
Regardless of whether it's true or not, the message needs to be spread.

The more seventh-tier beings go to the North, the greater the commotion will be. Theoretically, the higher the probability that the seventh-tier beings of the Holy Hou Clan and the Golden Two-Headed Lion Clan will be eliminated.

Over the years, the Human Alliance has also established a shop in Zhangyang Ancient City of Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom and assigned a considerable number of people to it, making it very easy for them to spread some information.

Immediately, Shen Can took out his communication device and began sending messages within the alliance, urging them to spread the news throughout the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom as quickly as possible.

Whether it will work or not is unknown, but there's no harm in doing it. When facing a seventh-tier opponent, we'll just use whatever methods we have.

What if a seventh-tier dragon finds fallen dragon meat delicious?

Since the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom has already sent a message, let's also send a message to the Baxia Dragon Clan in the Juye Great Marsh to the southeast.

……

The weakling race.

As the least favored race within the territory of the ancient city of Tu Shang, their territory is located on the outskirts of the ancient city, surrounded by mountains and wilderness.

Inside the tribe, there was an inconspicuous main hall.

More than twenty figures gathered together.

There is Lu Chen of the Merchant Guild, Yan Jiang of the Military Hall, the Weaver Girl, Kui Yang, and the leader of the Kui Niu.

There is also the chieftain of the weakling race, Mepu.

Meep is a half-human creature with fine fish scales on its face and white, mottled skin on its bare arms.

The name Meepu was a derogatory term given to him by outsiders.

"We have received accurate information that the Flying Dragon Slave Hunting Team will set off for the southeast to hunt a sixth-tier True Yang Beast."

Yan Liu spoke up, "The Flying Dragon Slave Hunter Team is incredibly arrogant and overbearing. We can lure them into our ambush and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"The owner of the Flying Dragon Slave Hunter Team is a mid-stage sixth-tier player, and he also has a mid-stage sixth-tier flying dragon under his command. The combined combat power of the two is comparable to that of a late-stage sixth-tier player."

There was also an elder at the early stage of the sixth rank, and more than three hundred others with fifth-rank combat power.

"This time, the Flying Dragon Slave Hunting Team didn't use many large ships, only about thirty. As long as we can capture the leader of the Flying Dragon Slave Hunting Team..."

Then we can turn around and head straight for the Wyvern Slave Hunters' lair, seizing the other large ships.

At this moment, Yan Jiang spoke up, "Is it possible that we first load the resources onto the Flying Dragon Slave Hunter Team's large ship?"

Then send the dragon slave hunters to our alliance and use the alliance's formations to suppress them.

Yan Jiang thought this way because he felt that taking down a large slave-hunting team would be too much of a commotion.

If it were noticed by passing creatures, it would be easily exposed.

Yan Jiang's suggestion didn't seem far-fetched to anyone; instead, everyone fell into deep thought, considering its feasibility.

"As long as we can control the sixth-tier combatants in the Flying Dragon Lord's slave-hunting team, this plan is highly feasible."

The Weaver Girl then spoke up, explaining that she had come to build the array.

After all, the Flying Dragon Slave Hunter Team has sixth-tier combat power. While the Alliance has quite a few fifth-tier members, they still need the assistance of additional formations to devour sixth-tier members.

"The sixth-grade high-quality formation within our alliance has been upgraded. Once inside the formation, even if Flying Dragon Lord grows a few more wings, he will have no chance to escape."

The servant standing to the side looked at this and that, listening to a group of people plotting to seize the sixth-tier slave hunting team, and felt his heart surge with excitement.

Is this the courage of my human race?

You absolutely must check out the league!
The reason for having Meipu attend the clan council this time was naturally to take Meipu to the Alliance.

The weaklings, who suffer from discrimination in the ancient city of Tu Shang, have an unimaginable obsession with identifying with the human race.

Moreover, the humans they saw were not the kind of humans who could be manipulated by other races as rumored.

This situation further boosted the sense of identity among the weaklings.

"It seems we'll have to ask the temple for help; we probably can't do it ourselves."

……

The hidden place of the vassal races outside the Holy Hou Clan.

Shen Can secretly ran away from the Holy Hou clan's territory, leaving behind a silver seal to control the clan's warriors.

That way, he can run away in advance at the slightest sign of trouble.

At this moment, inside the unassuming main hall, Shen Can, holding the communication artifact, was slightly taken aback as he listened to the words of the Weaver Girl and other Alliance Hall Masters and Si Zheng.

"Reporting to the temple, if the temple can intervene and control the Flying Dragon Lord, we..."

On the other end of the communication device, Yan Jiang explained her thoughts in detail.

Although he didn't know Shen Can's method of creating clones, Shen Can's battle body could manifest the forms of countless beasts, so impersonating a Flying Dragon Lord shouldn't be a problem.

Good heavens, the things he arranged have been arranged back to him.

Let the temple take action!
They've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down, huh?

The key point is that Shen Can thinks it's actually feasible.

It has to be Yan Jiang, that kid.

Not only did they dare to use temples, but they also wanted to wipe out the entire slave-hunting team, turning them all into fuel for the alliance.

Shen Can rubbed his head. He should have thought of this trick, but he had been too busy lately. He didn't expect that Yan Jiang would take advantage of this.

……

Half a month later, within the territory of Tu Shang Ancient City, a group of flying dragons led the way, and more than 300 treasure ships of various sizes flew through the sky.

A menacing aura emanated from the large ship, its banners fluttering in the wind, and everywhere were menacing figures, laughing and pointing at those passing by.

The figures passing by hurriedly made way upon seeing the massive fleet, fearing they might block the path of the slave hunters.

And so, the massive fleet of the Flying Dragon Slave Hunters swaggered across the ancient city of Tu Shang from east to west, and passed right by the border of the Holy Hou Clan's vassal territory.

Two days later, the massive fleet of the Dragon Hunting Team set sail westward.

Inside the lead ship, in the ship's deck shrouded by an array, Flying Dragon Lord sat cross-legged and suddenly made a gesture as if pinching an embroidery needle.

Then, his fingers suddenly loosened.

His eyes shone like stars, and his muscular body even swayed strangely gracefully.

"No, this is a clone; it must be kept as is."

Flying Dragon Lord lowered his head and murmured.

……

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Holy Hou tribe.

A group of sixth-level warriors from the Holy Hou Clan gathered and lay down around the silver badge.

These days, the warriors of the Holy Hou Clan have been quite busy. While other Holy Clans are spying on the Holy Hou Clan, they are also spying on other Holy Clans.

"Gentlemen, how is the investigation of the various tribes progressing?"
