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

Chapter 439 Trivial Matters

The sun had not yet fully risen.

outside the Temple of the Heroes, music filled the air as the high priest, leading his priests, chanted incantations.

A massive sacrificial beast, cleaned thoroughly, was brought to the outside of the main hall of the Temple of Heroes.

After Shen Can performed the sacrificial ceremony, the chief and deputy priests of each branch hall came over to assist in dividing the sacrificial beast and distributing it to each hall.

Once all the sacrificial rites were completed, the music gradually ceased.

Shen Can returned to his residence on the floating island, where the Xuan Shen Spirit Liquid was placed on the table inside the hall.

This spiritual liquid was quite unexpected; it failed to be delivered even after two attempts.

Chi Huo Lu Wu didn't want the spirit liquid, but he took another kind of fire-element sixth-grade treasure medicine.

He also took a sixth-grade high-quality witch artifact, the Guo Yan Cauldron, from Shen Can, and shamelessly asked Shen Can to see if there were any secret techniques suitable for him to cultivate.

Now, not only do the Alliance humans know that Shen Can has some knowledge of secret arts, but so do these creatures that are on good terms with humans.

Shen Can had previously deduced supernatural techniques for the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit clan, and the results were quite good.

Shen Can did not refuse Chi Huo Lu Wu and planned to give him a secret technique when he had time.

As for the blueprint for the secret technique, he already had an idea in mind when Chi Huo Lu Wu mentioned it.

That is the "Tiger's Lair Technique" cultivated by Yan Liu. The tiger is a mountain lord who can devour living beings and transform them into lap ghosts.

Yan Liu's cultivation in this aspect is perfectly aligned.

If Crimson Fire Lu Wu wants to cultivate this secret technique, he needs to improve it. Otherwise, under Lu Wu's divine fire, even the most powerful ghosts will be burned to nothingness.

Once Chi Huo Lu Wu has mastered the improved "Tiger's Lackey Secret Technique," his combat power will increase by several percent, and he won't be so miserable when he gets beaten up again in the future.

Sitting cross-legged under the table, Shen Can has been quite busy these past few days since returning from the ruins.

Having become familiar with the development of the alliance, witnessed the construction of the grand formation, and explored the secrets deep within the underground cave, the only worry was not finding the true hiding place of the Xuan Bird.

However, he felt that he was not far from finding the hiding place of the Black Bird. He had been investigating the Giant Mountain Range for a long time but had not found it, which could only mean that the Black Bird was hiding very well.

This is normal. If the Black Bird hadn't hidden itself well, it would have been captured and eaten by other seventh-tier beings long ago, and the human race wouldn't have suffered from the Black Bird's calamity.

Shen Can temporarily put away the Profound God Spirit Liquid, intending to use it again when another being in the alliance breaks through to the sixth rank.

Then, Shen Can took out the slave token and released Shifang Temple Boy.

A hoarse and muffled roar suddenly echoed in the hall.

Currently, apart from Shen Can himself, none of the other wizards in the alliance are strong enough to probe the divine court of Shifang Temple.

Even when Shen Can himself used his divine sense to explore the divine court of the Shifang Temple Peach, he was affected by the chaos and disorder within it.

As things stand, there's no way to break the slave contract.

After all, once the contract is terminated, there will be no constraints, and no one knows what Shifang Temple will do then.

Now at least there are contractual restrictions, so indiscriminate killing won't happen.

Shen Can also tried to wake him up, but it didn't work.

He no longer uses this ineffective method. Since a few days ago, when he had a flash of inspiration and understood the essence of the wizard's beast transformation, Shen Can realized that Shifang Temple Peach could not be awakened.

Even if one's cultivation grants the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth, there are still limits to what can be achieved in certain matters.

Perhaps seventh- or eighth-tier beings could find a way, but the Alliance humans currently lack that capability.

For the time being, Shen Can could only place Shifang Temple Peach on the floating island. With the contract in place, it was considered safe.

Then, Shen Can released the centipede spirit seal.

As soon as it appeared, the entire hall crackled and popped, and arcs of electricity shot out both inside and outside the hall.

Kui Sheng, who was inside the side hall, couldn't help but pull Qi Pu out, thinking they had been struck by lightning.

Shen Can brought back the centipede spirit seal because he was thinking that since the transformed spirit seal could control the spirit seals within the ruins, could it also control the massive array of the Giant Mountain Range?

Although he could control the grand formation of the Giant Mountain Range, the mountain range was too vast, stretching for over a million miles.

If there were a transformed spirit barrier as the central hub, like the spirit of a magical artifact, it would not only be able to immediately detect any problems in any corner of the formation, but would also greatly enhance the power of the formation.

The only pity is that this centipede is currently only a Thunder Path Spirit Restriction.

Furthermore, after emerging from the ruins of the Leipeng Clan, the aura of the Spirit Restriction suddenly decreased.

Without the support of the spirit restriction, the aura of this transformed spirit restriction has now fallen to the peak level of an ordinary sixth rank.

If they were to encounter those near-seventh-tier individuals again, they would be easily wiped out.

Of course, once back inside the ruins, the Centipede Spirit Restriction will instantly become the strongest below the seventh-tier Saint.

Looking at the centipede crawling in front of him, Shen Can thought for a moment, then picked up the jade slip and imprinted a thought onto it.

"Ah Long, go and give it to the Alliance Leader."

Just as Yanlong was preparing to head to the Alliance's main city with the jade slip in hand.

"etc."

Upon hearing Shen Can's words, Yanlong quickly stopped in his tracks.

Shen Can took back the jade slip, recorded the information again with his divine sense, and handed it to Yanlong.

On the alliance side, the one most skilled in the art of thunder is Lei Wanche. Shen Can's giant beast clone took him in as a disciple and modified his cultivation technique accordingly.

half a month later.

Within the Giant Mountain Range, in the valley beneath two massive mountain ranges, lightning surged and electric arcs flashed.

Upon entering the valley, one can see ancient lightning stones scattered everywhere, crackling with electricity, heading towards the shrine deep within the valley.

Inside the Witch Temple, the bird's nest was filled with source stones, making the temple full of source energy.

A dozen or so young thunderbirds and dozens of eggs were bathed in the intense thunder and vitality.

These chicks and eggs have been dormant for too long, and Shen Can has no idea whether they can wake up and survive. He is not a miracle doctor.

Now, it's up to fate.

Following Shen Can's instructions, the alliance arranged for wizards and warriors who practiced thunder magic to take care of the situation.

In addition, Shen Can also brought over the crayfish.

The little arowana was too impulsive and didn't take the remains with it, plus this guy has experience taking care of babies.

"Temple, I am a dragon, not a dragon mother!"

"I raised the little sparrow and the dragon tiger, and now you want me to raise a whole flock of baby birds? How am I supposed to face the world after this?"

"Then everyone will say I'm just a bird keeper. Where will my dignity be then?"

The little dragonfish, which had long since transformed into a three-clawed dragon, stood on the cliff and shook its head violently at Shen Can.

Dragons never keep birds.

"I have a sense of shame, I won't keep it."

As it spoke, the little dragonfish shrank its body and immediately hugged Shen Can's leg.

"Please, I won't raise it, I beg you."

Seeing that the hard approach wasn't working, the little dragonfish switched to the softer one.

He is the number one auspicious beast of the Blazing Flame Clan, the beloved pet of the Blazing Flame Clan. From the Fire generation to the Kui generation, which of the six or seven generations hasn't been tricked by him into eating fruit?

"No, the true dragon controls wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. You can't even make rain properly now."

Shen Can threw the little dragonfish directly into the Witch Temple, where it kept company with the Thunder Roc chicks and Thunder Roc eggs.

After emerging from the Thunder Roc egg, the little arowana angrily declared, "Fine, I'll raise it, but I will absolutely not incubate the eggs, absolutely not!"

The roar of the little dragonfish echoed from inside the Witch Temple.

Then, it looked at the Thunder Roc eggs inside the nest.

"Goodness, there's hardly any life left. How about we roast it and try it?"

"Eat a few first, consider it your wages as Dragon Daddy."

"Not a single one can be touched."

Just as the little dragonfish finished muttering, Shen Can's voice rang in its ears.

"If I raise birds but they don't eat the eggs, then what's the point of being a dragon father?"

-

The little dragonfish pursed its lips, then smiled broadly. "I understand, Master Miao. I will take good care of them. Don't worry, I have many years of experience raising birds."

As it spoke, it looked at the Thunder Roc egg with the most vibrant life force, "Come on, call me father."

Unfortunately, not a single egg paid any attention to it. He looked outside the Witch Temple and found that Shen Can was still in the valley.

At this moment, Shen Can buried the life-giving soil he had dug up from the Lei Peng Clan's herb garden in the valley.

This land, struck by thunder, was reborn from destruction, giving birth to the Yaotu Hunyuan Water.

But the soil is only one aspect; what truly matters is the vitality born from the destruction created by the countless bolts of lightning.

Shen Can has recorded all the spiritual restrictions derived from the thunder in the Thunder Roc's herb garden and handed them over to the Alliance wizards so that they could try to conduct experiments to build the Human Alliance's Primordial Aquatic Base.

Half a day later, Shen Can emerged from the valley and casually tossed the centipede spirit into the Giant Mountain.

Although it is only a Thunder Dao Spirit Restriction, the fact that it has taken human form means that it has the ability to cultivate.

-

If we consider a living being of flesh and blood, the centipede spirit would have to be a cultivator with superior talent, otherwise it would be impossible for it to take human form.

Let it adapt to the environment within the Giant Mountain Range first. Although Thunder Dao is not one of the Five Elements, it is still an attribute that has been transformed from the Five Elements.

Back on the floating island, Shen Can finally rested, having finished taking care of most of the various matters.

Next comes deduction, practice, and comprehension.

Cultivation is relatively straightforward. With the Xuan Shen Spirit Essence given to him by the Crown Prince of Zhangshui as a foundation, he doesn't face any bottlenecks in reaching the late stage of the sixth rank. All he needs is time to mature.

As for the deduction, we need to integrate the fragmented memories of Shifang Temple Peach and organize the sixth-order witchcraft cultivation methods within them.

Although they knew that the methods of witchcraft cultivation were old and even posed a risk of bestiality, the old methods still had to bear the burden of cultivation until a new witchcraft method was developed.

Not to mention, based on the reconstruction of fragmented memories from the Shifang temple, the witchcraft of the Shifang Hou tribe originated from the City of the Human King.

-

One can cultivate directly from the first rank to the peak of the sixth rank.

In addition, Shen Can was also worried about his beastification problem in witchcraft. He had previously thought that he had completely solved the beastification problem in martial arts, which could stop the effects of the beastification in witchcraft.

But ever since he understood the true nature of the beast transformation in witchcraft, he realized that the risks of this transformation had not disappeared.

However, after examining his own consciousness, Shen Can discovered that although there were various beast-shaped traces within the Divine Court, his consciousness remained independent and autonomous, showing no signs of bloodlust or chaos.

However, to avoid this risk, Shen Can planned to stop cultivating the Witchcraft Path after reaching the peak of the sixth level, and let the Martial Path pursue the seventh level first.

In the days that followed, Shen Can's daily routine was quite simple: sweeping the Temple of Heroes, performing sacrifices, cultivating, and so on. Every now and then, Weaver Girl, Yan Jiang, and others would come to visit.

It wasn't anything major; most of the time it was just pure cultivation and daily communication.

Besides these two, other people in the league also occasionally come to visit him.

After finishing his cultivation that day, Shen Can took out the three-headed tribe's yellow mud tablet and entered the realm of divine consciousness within it.

After making some progress in his cultivation, he can naturally return here to continue cultivating the Three-Headed Clan's "Three Earth Fusion Technique".

Previously, Shen Can thought that to understand the Three-Headed Clan's heritage, he would need to cultivate to at least the late stage of the sixth rank.

Now, he's ready to try it out ahead of time.

After these years of experience, when he returned to see the legacy left by the Three-Headed Clan, Shen Can had figured out many things he didn't understand before.

According to the legacy information left by the ancestor of the Three-Headed Clan, this technique, when cultivated to its peak, can reach the seventh level.

Shen Can had already witnessed the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Water, and the source of both wanted to take him flying.

I wonder if the yellow clay tablet left by the ancestor of the three-headed tribe is the same.

When the Three-Headed Clan's technique is cultivated to its peak, it should be able to approach the essence of earth and practice the way of earth.

Of course, this is just speculation, since the Three-Headed Clan Ancestor was not a true seventh-order being; this cultivation technique was created by a peak sixth-order being.

Even if Shen Can re-derives and refines the theoretical techniques, whether they can actually reach the power of heaven and earth still depends on the final outcome.

However, Shen Can had a feeling that comprehending the power of heaven and earth was something that had to be done by oneself, and all external forces were merely auxiliary.

By merging himself into a three-headed race within the realm of divine consciousness, Shen Can quickly cultivated to the same level as those outside, and continued to refine and improve this technique.

Cultivation knows no time; once immersed in it, one forgets the passage of time in the outside world.

Seeing that Shen Can was in seclusion for cultivation, Yanlong began to block the alliance warriors who came to pay their respects.

Alliance capital, side hall.

"Has there been any news from the team heading to the ruins today?"

Yan Jiang took over the elders' advisory group established by the volcano, and also drew on young people from within the alliance to form her own small advisory group, which was used to record important matters of the clan council and to relay messages between the various halls of the alliance.

These people came from various departments of the alliance, and their strengths varied. Some were only at the fourth rank, but they were all very young.

He is efficient and decisive, never procrastinating.

"Not yet. As agreed, we will contact the Alliance at sunset, around 5 PM. It's not yet time for that."

"Report back to me as soon as you have any news."

Yan Jiang sat behind a large table, which was covered with jade slips and documents.

Ever since Shen Can showed him those jade slips, he has felt a sense of urgency and crisis.

Traveling westward, one will encounter many different tribes, which will greatly increase the dangers during this journey.

However, since the Tu Shang Alliance has established a branch city in the ruins, the Human Alliance will inevitably want to occupy a place there.

Putting aside everything else, the precious medicine for preparing the Mystic Divine Elixir produced within the ruins alone is a treasure that the alliance desperately needs, and all of these must be brought back.

Similarly, this westward journey is also a further exploration of the outside world by the Human Alliance.

The dangers outside are great, but that is not a reason for humanity to stop. The dangers will not be reduced by humanity retreating. Rather than being trapped in one place, the alliance chooses to take the initiative.

"News has arrived: the convoy's passage is proceeding normally."

Hearing this, Yan Jiang looked up from her desk and asked, "How is the decree strictly prohibiting young people from practicing martial arts or witchcraft from observing the stars for two years being implemented?"

"Military envoys have been dispatched to the four prefectures of Yong, Dai, Yun, and Mu to investigate. The situation is currently good, and no one has been found to be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant."

"Um."

Yan Jiang nodded and then asked a few more questions.

As night deepened, he rose and left the side hall, heading deep into the Giant Mountain Range, where he entered a trap.

Trapped within the formation are the fifth-tier beings of various races from the Flying Dragon Hunting Team.

"Come on, whoever can beat me today will be spared."

After entering the trapping formation, Yan Jiang pointed to the several figures in front of her.

Miao Tao said that his blood and energy were somewhat weak, so these days, every few days, he would come to these red-eyed hunting slaves for extra training.
