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

Chapter 435 Yan Jiang!

Even during the years that Shen Can was away from the league, the league's development never stopped.

An enormous map was presented to him upon his return.

This map marks 117 places where humans live, covering all directions of the Juyue Mountains.

There are 27 places with fourth-tier humans, 11 ruins, and the rest are third-tier habitats.

In every place, the Alliance sent torchbearers to spread knowledge, popularize literacy, select talents, and teach cultivation methods and various skills, teaching people how to fish according to local conditions.

In addition, the number of races that have cooperated with the human race in the ancient city of Tu Shang has reached eleven, such as Elephant Trunk and Yao Sen.

At the Temple of Heroes, the priests meticulously cultivated the Sacred Tree every day, and its roots have spread to the area around the Giant Mountain Range, reaching as far as the Rocky Wasteland. If they go any further, they will be able to enter the human market in the Tu Shang territory.

Shen Can examined the places that the Human Alliance had found, and none of them had any profound heritage. The best one was no better than Yongyi back then.

Especially in those places where only third-tier humans live, they have been wiped out countless times in the jungle, only to regroup and reproduce again.

It is already extremely difficult to maintain martial arts cultivation at the third level, as for the inheritance of witchcraft, there is almost none.

The alliance adopted a two-pronged approach: in each newly discovered human territory, while passing on the torch, the torchbearers sent there also gathered talented youths from those territories.

Over the years, the league has gathered many young people from all over the world.

As the area expanded, more and more young people gathered there. In order to better nurture these young people, the alliance began to expand various academies.

These academy classifications can be traced back to the time of the Zhiyanbo tribe, when, due to development, the Zhuyou Academy was separated from the Witch Academy to specifically train witch doctors.

Today, following in the footsteps of the past, the Alliance Weapon Hall has established a Metallurgical Institute, which encompasses shipbuilding,

It includes several categories such as cannon manufacturing, forging magical weapons, and alloy smelting.

The Beast Hall established a breeding institute, which, in addition to raising various kinds of meat-eating beasts, camel-like beasts, and agricultural beasts, also opened up breeding courses to prepare to breed various auxiliary beasts and war beasts.

These developments were part of the plans the Alliance was implementing when Shen Can went to the ruins.

Outside the Temple of the Heroes, three figures ascended the steps toward the main hall.

"I'm getting old, I'm really no longer useful."

Huo Tang leaned on a cane. He was over three hundred years old, which was quite old for someone who hadn't yet reached the Divine Realm.

"Brother Huotang, you're not old yet. Didn't we agree to travel to different parts of the human race?"

Volcano chuckled and said, "Don't you want to go anymore?"

Yan Jiang followed behind the two, smiling without saying a word, quietly listening to the conversation between Huo and Huoshan.

"Where are you going? It's not pleasant to go with so many people protecting you. Go by yourself next time."

Huo Tang waved his hand. When he went out earlier, two fifth-level clansmen accompanied him to protect his safety.

Having fought his way out of the mountains and forests, Huotang was unwilling to be protected like this.

So he simply stayed within the clan and rarely went out.

Previously, they had to keep an eye on Volcano, that simpleton. Now, although Volcano is still nominally the Alliance Leader, the affairs of the Alliance and the clan have actually been gradually handed over to Yan Jiang. It's just that the decrees are issued in Volcano's name.

"Ah Chan".

Upon entering the main hall of the Temple of Heroes, the Fire Tower spoke, "You're back."

Although he knew that Shen Can's current level had exceeded his imagination, Huo Tang still subconsciously wanted to check if Shen Can was injured.

Seeing Shen Can, who was still young-looking despite wearing a priest's robe, Huo Tang touched the wrinkles on his own face.

Huotang was also very familiar with Valhalla. Since he stopped going out, he often came to sweep and clean Valhalla with the priests.

There are also shrines to the fallen members of the Zhiyan clan here, just like those in the Zhiyan Ancestral Temple.

However, Huo has not returned to the Blazing Ancestral Temple for a long time, and he will inform the other priests during the sacrificial rites.

This is the Alliance's Temple of Heroes, where the spirits of Alliance heroes who died in battle rest. There is no distinction between the Horde and the Alliance here.

"I have seen the temple."

Yan Jiang followed behind the two clan leaders and bowed to Shen Can.

Shen Can gestured for Yan Jiang to stand up and said, "I've looked at the things the Alliance sent; they've done a good job recently."

After experiencing the Huotang clan's lack of combat strength and the Huoshan clan's lack of intelligence, the Zhiyan, or rather the Human Alliance, finally has a clan leader and alliance leader who meet both the standards of strength and intelligence.

Yan Jiang is no longer someone who blindly follows orders, but someone who can draw inferences from one instance to another and think for herself.

Since beginning his cultivation, he has witnessed the transformation of the Blazing Flame tribe into an alliance, and the pioneering efforts from the Giant Mountain to the Merchant.

Their horizons have also been broadened.

"I figured it all out after listening to the teachings of the temple."

Yan Jiang spoke up, explaining that since the Giant Mountain Human Clan joined the Tu Shang Alliance and he took charge of the alliance's affairs, he had frequently reviewed the various clan records of the Blazing Flame Clan.

After each viewing, I would quietly reflect on it late at night.

In addition, Shen Can had specifically taught him the principle that "a single spark can start a prairie fire, and you'll make many friends," which Yan Jiang kept in mind.

Several years ago, Tu Shang Ancient City united with the Elephant Bear Tribe, the Golden Bee Tribe, and the Yao Sen Tribe, which was his earliest attempt at making friends.

No place inhabited by humans should be overlooked; even if there are only a few scattered humans in the area, torchbearers must go there.

This is to ignite a spark.

Yan Jiang understood that as the human alliance on the Juyue side grew stronger, it would also be exposed to more alien races.

This is just the beginning; in the future, even stronger alien races will inevitably take notice of the Giant Mountain Human Race.

On the contrary, these weak human settlements are places that other races look down upon.

These seemingly insignificant places are precisely where the human race's heritage is accumulated.

As for the later expansion of the various academies by the alliance, it was when he was looking through the clan records that he remembered the systematic talent training of the Blazing Flame Earl tribe.

After much deliberation, Yan Jiang realized that these colleges still needed to be expanded.

For no other reason than that it is more convenient for the academy to teach spiritual practices than for the tribe.

When the torchbearers of the Human Alliance entered the surrounding human territories, they discovered that even though the humans in these territories were not very strong, they still valued their own cultivation methods highly, each cherishing their own methods.

He arranged for the Alliance warriors to carefully investigate the past of these places and found that more than half of these third-tier human territories had traces of fourth-tier history.

However, after the calamity, the remaining humans, due to the fierce coveting of their respective tribes' inheritance of cultivation techniques, caused these techniques to disappear along with their tribes.

This situation is extremely harmful.

Yan Jiang wants to break this situation and truly popularize various cultivation techniques of the human race.

Even if another great calamity strikes, we must ensure that the cultivation tradition is not lost as much as possible, so that the human race that survives the calamity will no longer be restricted by the loss of cultivation techniques.

He then carefully recorded what he had done and presented it to Shen Can.

At this moment, in front of Shen Can and the two clan leaders, Yan Jiang once again carefully explained to Shen Can what the alliance had done during this period.

"I am prepared to continue expanding and recruit more young humans from all over the world."

Then, based on their talent for cultivation, they were arranged to enter various academies for further training.

As this is gradually promoted, academies covering various basic disciplines will be established wherever our Human Alliance spreads its teachings.

Those who excel in their studies are then brought to Juyue for further, more refined, and in-depth training.

To complete this plan, the current structure of the Witch Academy and the Martial Academy needs to be altered.

As she spoke, Yan Jiang explained her more detailed plans for improvement, including the establishment of the Alliance's main academy.

Before the academy took control, there were already sorcery academies, martial arts academies, and incantation academies, as well as newly built breeding academies, metallurgical academies, and so on.

The alliance is no longer what it was when it was first established, when it couldn't even gather enough divine treasures from all the tribes.

There are enough people to serve as teachers in each college; the framework can be set up with just a word.

"As for who will serve as the head of each academy, I plan to convene a competition among everyone in the alliance. Whoever wins will be given the title of champion and serve as the head of the academy."

In addition, I am prepared to announce that as long as a skill is developed to a sufficient level of maturity, forms a system, and passes the test, it can be considered to establish a lineage.

The alliance can establish corresponding disciplines, award the title of champion to each, and support them in promoting and developing this skill.

Listening to Yan Jiang's words, Shen Can realized that they were all very familiar, some of which were things he had suggested back then.

However, some of the concepts were not fully developed when they were first proposed.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiang is also a pragmatist; as soon as he sees something that is advantageous, he immediately takes it out and uses it.

This put Shen Can at ease.

A quick mind is much more useful than a volcano's brain.

At this moment, Huotang and Huoshan, who were listening from the side, did not say a word, but just smiled.

After hearing what Yan Jiang said, Huo Tang came back to his senses.

"Ah Chan, wanna drink tonight?"

"Drink up, it's so hard to get back from outside, let's relax."

"Okay, see you tonight."

After saying that, Huotang leaned on his cane and walked out of the main hall.

Actually, Huotang hadn't reached the point where he needed crutches; having a cane was just to make it easier for him to hit people.

"I'm leaving too."

The volcano looked around, found it uninteresting, and turned to leave.

Yan Jiang was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave. He was somewhat speechless. The two of you were so casual about choosing yourselves in front of the temple, but what was he supposed to do?

"Stay here and help me clean Valhalla."

Hearing Shen Can say this, Yan Jiang nodded with great joy, "Yes."

"Your blood and energy are a bit weak; you've used too many precious medicines for fifth-tier internal use."

As soon as Yan Jiang arrived, Shen Can noticed the fluctuation of blood energy in her body.

"How much has the human race's inherent nature been strengthened?"

"Sixty percent complete."

Yan Jiang spoke up. Although he had used precious medicine to cultivate and his blood and qi were somewhat weak, he had not relaxed his efforts in the slightest when it came to expelling the beast transformation and strengthening his origin.

Within the alliance, the Treasure Trove of Myriad Beasts contains an ever-increasing number of wild beast battle bodies. He has already studied no fewer than dozens of types, including more than ten types of beast king battle bodies, and has studied three of them.

Upon hearing Yan Jiang's words, Shen Can examined the Dharma Image within Yan Jiang's body. As the human origin was enhanced, the various traces of beastification on the Dharma Image gradually decreased.

Currently, Shen Can is the only member of the alliance who has completely solved the beast transformation problem by cultivating the Wild Beast Battle Body.

Although the Weaver Girl is also of the sixth rank, she needs to be calculated separately.

After all, the Weaver Girl walks the path of stars, which is incompatible with the Five Elements path of observing the cultivation of wild beasts.

When the Weaver Girl had an epiphany, the power of the five elements within her body was forcibly expelled by a large amount of stellar power, so she naturally has no fear of turning into a beast.

But Shen Can was unsure whether there were any hidden dangers in cultivating the planetary path.

"Within the league, have any other members undergone significant transformations?"

"The Alliance wizards conduct a survey every year. Currently, the highest percentage is 60%. There seems to be a slight bottleneck between 60% and 70%, and it will take some time to settle down."

Yan Jiang told Shen Can about the difficulties she was facing in her cultivation.

Shen Can doesn't have a good solution right now either; this kind of fundamental transformation requires one to undergo the transformation themselves.

Furthermore, the Treasure Mirror of Beasts is only useful to warriors; it has no effect on the wizards of the Alliance.

Especially after encountering Shifang Miaotao and learning about the beast-like transformation of the wizards, he still has little clue how to stop them from doing so.

"The more the human race develops and grows stronger, the more dangerous situations it will encounter. We must be prepared."

"During this trip, we encountered many alien races that coveted our human race and viewed us as sacrificial offerings and food."

"Our Giant Mountain human race has cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body, making our blood and qi more vigorous and stronger than those of human races in other places."

Now, by observing and practicing various wild beast battle forms, there is hope of resolving the worry of beast transformation. Do you know what this means?

As Shen Can spoke, he handed a jade slip to Yan Jiang.

The jade slip contained a lot of information, including the soul-searching techniques of the Ao Jin and Xuan She tribes, as well as memories extracted from the Peach Blossom Temple in Shifang.

This included bull-snake hunters.

Yan Jiang was somewhat stunned after reading the jade slip.

"Scared?"

Yan Jiang gently shook her head. "Miao Tao, I'm not afraid, I just didn't expect the situation of my human race to be more difficult than I imagined."

"I always thought that if our human race became stronger, we could get rid of the crisis. I never expected that the alliance would develop to the point where we have become a better sacrifice in the eyes of the alien races."

Yan Jiang gripped the jade slip tightly, her sense of urgency growing stronger.

The rise of the Giant Mountain Human Race is attracting more and more attention, and who knows, one day it might really attract the so-called Bull-Snake Hunters.

At that time, war will be inevitable.

Shen Can sensed that Yan Jiang's expression went from tense to calming down.

"Alright, go ahead and do your thing."

After following Shen Can for most of the day, Yan Jiang finally left the Temple of Heroes at Shen Can's urging.

Shen Can then soared into the air towards his residence.

Huotang had already arrived with drinks, and Huoshan was also there.

"Come on, tell me about this trip."

Huotang gestured for Shen Can to sit down, wanting to hear about Shen Can's trip.

The three of them didn't leave until midnight.

The next day, the Weaver Girl brought Kui Sheng to Shen Can's residence. As soon as they arrived, they saw A Dai sitting cross-legged under the eaves of the main hall, staring blankly at the mountains.

"Grandma, he seems to be spacing out."

Kui Sheng pointed at Ah Dai, "No, why do his eyes look so strange?"

Upon hearing the noise, Ah-Dai surprisingly turned his head, and then the two boys' eyes met.

Suddenly, Ah-Dai covered his eyes.
