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

The majestic mountains stretch for millions of miles, forming an east-west "corridor of stars".

Over the years, the foreign tribes outside the mountains have become accustomed to it.

The vast sea of ​​stars cast pillars of starlight down upon the Juyue Mountains.

The surging power of the stars covered the entire Giant Mountain Range.

Beneath the power of the stars, massive arrays composed of inscribed spirit seals operated, transforming the falling star power into the five elements' source power. When the Star-Attracting Array was first established, the conversion rate of the stars was less than 30%.

Later, when the "Leaping Dragon Gate Project" was underway, the Star-Guiding Array was continuously improved by the Alliance Array Masters, increasing the probability of converting stellar power into the Five Elements Source Power to 50%.

Today, after more than a hundred years of development, the Alliance has achieved a 70% conversion rate of stellar power into the Star-Guiding Array, and in some places even 80%.

These places have all become blessed cultivation grounds for the alliance, even mid-to-late stage sixth-tier beings can use them as their daily training grounds. Now, in addition to converting into the Five Elements Source Power, the application of stellar power conversion has also covered attributes such as wind, lightning, and ice. In the vast mountain range stretching for over a million miles, starlight is like a boundless ocean, and in this dazzling starlight, arcs of electricity can be seen from time to time. From the small valley on the eastern edge of the giant mountain to the boundary between the western mountains and the wasteland, arcs of electricity are brilliant, and purple lightning is like a dragon.

The colossal mountain formation, imbued with the power of thunder, has increased its destructive power several times over.

Within the vast ocean of stars, a centipede spirit rapidly traversed, its legs moving as if stepping on lightning, instantly spanning the east and west sides of the giant mountain.

This Thunder Transformation Spirit Restriction, brought back from the ruins of the Thunder Roc Clan, was subdued by Shen Can and placed into the grand formation. With the help of the massive Giant Mountain Formation, its aura rose again, returning to the quasi-seventh level.

Of course, it's still a bit short of being nearly invincible at the seventh rank.

After all, the Thunder Roc Clan ruins were left behind by a true seventh-tier powerful force, and the quality of its Thunder Spirit Restriction far surpasses that of the Giant Mountain Formation. The Giant Mountain Formation was built later and is currently catching up rapidly.

The appearance of lightning arcs within the stars was a modification to allow the Centipede Spirit Restriction to better control the Giant Mountain Formation.

This involved extensive use of the Thunder Spirit Restriction technique learned from the Thunder Roc Clan, as well as recent modifications to some of the Star-Guiding Array to convert lightning-attribute source power. It also incorporated the Alliance's improvements to formations over the years, finally allowing the Centipede Spirit Restriction to take root in Giant Mountain.

Although the Centipede Spirit's combat power has only increased to the near-seventh rank, this is just the beginning.

The star map formation is not yet complete. If it is completed and can use the power of the stars to protect the giant mountain, the centipede spirit's combat power will likely be restored to what it was when it was in the Thunder Roc Clan ruins.

When the "Leaping Dragon Gate Formation" was first built, the Alliance spent decades gathering more than 40 million formation craftsmen. At that time, these people only underwent brief training and became helpers to wizards to set up the formation base.

Even while constructing the grand formation, the alliance never relaxed its efforts in training the magic-wielding craftsmen.

Once the first layer of the Giant Mountain Array was completed, almost all the helpers who initially just set up the array base were able to help inscribe the shamanic script and create the array base. Now, more than a hundred years later, some of these craftsmen have long since grown old, but their descendants have inherited the craft and passed it down through father-son and master-apprentice relationships.

A large portion of these people's descendants became low-level wizards.

From a regular helper to a skilled craftsman, and now a low-level wizard, his skills in wielding arrays have become increasingly refined.

These people are the foundation of the Giant Mountain Formation, and the guardians of the formation.

Few people can live in the Giant Mountain nowadays, and the Guardians are among them.

After the Weaver Girl left, Shen Can took over the construction of the subsequent star map formation.

He had deduced and deduced the star chart formation, which made it easy for him to understand the current construction situation and begin a new division of labor. The Weaver Girl was meticulous and had a woman's unique caution, but with Shen Can, all problems were deduced and eliminated in advance, so the alliance formation masters and craftsmen could only follow the steps to build the formation.

After he took over the subsequent construction, the efficiency of star array construction by Alliance array masters and craftsmen increased rapidly, and the production rate of Alliance array base workshops also increased several times.

The appearance of Shen Can's temple caused a flurry of activity throughout the entire Juyue Mountain Range.

Especially at night, phantom images of stars would appear continuously in a certain place on the giant mountain, as if stars were falling.

Sometimes, Shen Can would stand atop a towering mountain and gaze at the stars, but no matter how he looked at them, they seemed utterly chaotic and without any discernible pattern. His expression held no trace of the stars' significance.

Then, Shen Can appeared at a mountain campsite, sitting cross-legged on a high place, quietly waiting for the sun to rise.

As the first hint of dawn appears in the east.

Boom boom boom!

The war drums thundered.

On the mountaintops surrounding the camp, thirty-six figures resembling large apes were beating large drums.

The booming sound of the drums was like thunder, shaking the mountains.

From the barracks formed by mountain caves in all directions, figures clad in silver armor and carrying long staffs rushed out.

Each figure possessed an aura at least at the fourth level, their blood energy reaching its peak.

When they converged, the blood-red aura and smoke rose even higher, scattering the starlight and mist in the sky.

"war!"

The long staffs swung, creating a whistling sound like wind and thunder. The figures wielding the staffs in unison resembled upright apes or bears, their figures towering tall. When the first strike was delivered, the auras of the gathered figures were still somewhat chaotic, but by the second strike, the auras of the countless figures in the valley had already unified with the drumbeats.

The leader, a large, monkey-like figure, was at the mid-stage of the fifth rank and held a fifth-rank ironwood stick in his hand.

Every swing of the sword has the power to split mountains.

Compared to the other ape figures, the leading ape figure was over a hundred feet tall, and the veins on its arms, which were twisted and bent, resembled a coiled dragon.

His bare upper body was covered with spiderweb-like wounds, some of which overlapped each other.

Although he was only at the mid-stage of the fifth rank, his aura was more terrifying than that of a late-stage fifth rank cultivator.

"The drum follows me!"

Yan Hanshan roared, and the sound echoed throughout the entire camp.

The sound of the war drums then changed, beginning to resonate in sync with his staff techniques.

The martial artists in the camp were already familiar with this scene; it was a daily routine for them, day after day, year after year.

The purpose is to match the drumbeats and gather fighting spirit.

In the middle of the camp, there was a large red banner with blue patterns, embroidered with a nine-headed willow tree.

When the alliance was first established, there were only a few fifth-tier warriors. It was in the eastern swamp of Yongyi that they gathered blood energy and fighting spirit with battle flags and assisted Yan Wanyun in killing Xiang Liu, a fifth-tier warrior.

Now, this willow tree has become their battle flag.

Of course, compared to the Dongze Camp era, the Xiangliu Camp is now completely different, with even the worst warriors being at the fourth rank.

It is the strongest battle division among the Alliance's garrison divisions.

Without exception, this is the title they earned by overwhelming other warriors with their combat power.

Such achievements are naturally due to their greater strength and more diligent training.

At Xiangliu Camp, the sound of war drums instantly unites the entire camp as one.

The valley was filled with a fierce fighting spirit, while Shen Can watched quietly from the mountaintop.

The warriors formed by the alliance back then did not disappear with the passage of time and the reduction of wars; on the contrary, they became even stronger.

When Yan Jiang was handling alliance affairs, he recruited talented martial artists from the entire alliance and its territories, as well as martial arts academies, to supplement the various battle masters.

Currently, the alliance has a total of nine divisions, each with a different number of units.

The warriors and warriors that Yan Jiang brought to the City of Ruins were only a portion of those drawn from various major warrior groups.

The number one ranked warrior among the nine is Xiang Liu, who originated from Dongze and was brought out by Yan Wanyun.

Within the alliance, the Xiangliu Warriors are also known as the Xiangliu Camp, and the camp commander is Yan Hanshan.

This person was discovered by Yan Jiang, who then appointed him as a general in Xiang Liu's camp.

He was the grandson of Yan Chixia, the Grand Elder of the Yanran Marquisate.

Apart from Xiangliu's battle division, the other eight battle divisions were all reorganized by Yan Jiang.

After the reorganization, among the nine divisions, only the Xiangliu Battalion had a battalion designation.

It can be said that Xiangliu Camp is not only the strongest battle division in the alliance, but also the target that the other eight battle divisions are chasing.

In the drills held every ten years, Xiangliu Battalion would be challenged by other divisions in turn.

In the latest live-fire exercise, Xiangliu Battalion was the only battle division that withstood a mid-stage sixth-tier attack.

Therefore, the warriors within Xiangliu Camp received a large amount of cultivation resources from the alliance, and every warrior in the camp improved by at least one minor realm. Within Xiangliu Camp, warriors at the mid-stage of the fourth rank were rarely seen, and even those who did encounter a mid-stage fourth-rank warrior possessed enough combat power to fight against many ordinary warriors of the same rank.

In Yan Jiang's view, while it's true that the Human Alliance has defensive formations here, it doesn't mean they won't be besieged by other forces in the future. They can't just stay in their stronghold and passively let others bombard their formations; the Alliance's warriors also need to take the initiative.

His goal is to create at least four battle squads that can withstand mid-stage sixth-tier warriors.

Then, these four warriors were integrated into one, forming a powerful warrior capable of withstanding late-stage or even peak-stage sixth-tier beings.

To achieve this, he sought out more than ten martial artists with innate superhuman strength or physical talent, and they are all being trained in preparation for becoming the future flag bearers.

Yan Jiang's idea is good, and she has a plan, but the only problem is that she hasn't thought things through enough.

How can you possibly withstand the mid-to-late stages of a level 6 tank?

The goal should be at least to reach the seventh rank, and then one should try to withstand the seventh rank in the end.

Of course, it can't be blamed on Yan Jiang for not thinking things through. In the eyes of normal living beings, how could the Giant Mountain Human Race, which had only recently risen to prominence, have such a large leap? Having opponents who were mid-to-late stage sixth-order beings was already beyond imagination.

Yan Jiang was still young, and her thoughts hadn't quite caught up yet.

Shen Can felt that with more training, things would be fine, and this trip to the City of Ruins was a great opportunity for him to gain experience.

He can return and take over the position of league leader properly.

Compared to volcanoes, ginger is indeed more effective at penetrating through the skin.

If the third generation can produce someone with brains, then Zhiyan is truly blessed by his ancestors.

Afterwards, Shen Can left Xiangliu Camp and headed towards the other divisions' garrisons.

It's not that other warriors are no good, but now every warrior in the alliance must be at least a fourth-level martial artist to join.

This is a far cry from the days when the entire alliance couldn't even muster three thousand divine treasures.

Furthermore, each division is continuously replenishing its personnel from the martial arts academy and its local areas. It can be said that the days of seven or eight people with two or three guns are long gone.

Every warrior in the War Division has cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body.

For martial artists who cultivate together in a camp, they may not be able to display unique talents, but by cultivating together and practicing the same beast form, they can achieve a unified aura.

In Shen Can's opinion, Yan Jiang's pace was a bit slow, and he needed to speed it up.

On this day, the sun had not yet risen.

The priests inside the Temple of Heroes were already busy. Shen Can placed the offerings inside the main hall and slowly walked out the door.

Outside the main hall, a high platform stands on the square, upon which sits a stone drum inscribed with Kui script.

"I'm ready."

Upon seeing Shen Can approach, Kui Ling flashed across the drum surface.

As a combined auxiliary magical artifact with Kui Niang, the Kui Spirit Drum is actually of very high quality.

However, as a special auxiliary magical artifact used to ignite fighting spirit, the Kui Drum's full power depends on the person striking it. *Thud!*

On the high platform, Shen Can raised his hand and brought it down towards the Kui Drum.

A drumbeat resounded, echoing in all directions.

In an instant, from the Temple of Heroes to the Alliance capital, and extending into the depths of the Giant Mountain Range, countless beings of the Alliance awoke from their slumber. Thump thump thump!

Deep within the Great Mountain, in various locations, within the camps of the nine great warriors, each has thirty-six large drums standing within the camp.

At that moment, before the warriors beating the drums had even taken their positions, the sound of drums resounded.

The nine battle camps erupted in an instant. The martial artists who were cultivating and training inside the camps sprang up, donned their armor, grabbed their weapons, and rushed toward the training ground.

"Form ranks!"

Upon arriving at the training ground, many martial artists discovered that the battalion commanders, generals, captains of ten thousand, and captains of a thousand had already arrived.

The battle flags fluttered, and the war drums, though unbeaten, resounded continuously, their sound seemingly grasping the pulse of everyone's blood, making them feel a burning heat throughout their bodies!

The drumbeats grew increasingly intense. Although the nine battle divisions had camps in nine different locations within the Juyue Mountains, they were all mobilized at once through the Kui drums.

As the drums sounded, crimson pillars shot up above the nine camps in the mountain range, scattering the power of the countless stars.

In the days that followed, war drums would sound every few days, their sound reverberating throughout the nine camps.

After several repetitions, the warriors in each camp began to get used to the sound of the war drums.

The fighting spirit of the warriors from the nine camps began to coalesce, converging into a magnificent river of battle intent that floated above the giant mountain. After more than ten rehearsals, the drumbeats sounded once again.

The warriors in the nine camps were already used to this scene. Under the leadership of the centurions, commanders, generals, and camp officers, their fighting spirit rose and soared into the sky.

However, this time, the battle intent that had gathered together soared into the sky, but was swallowed whole by a bronze one-eyed dragon head.

The bronze one-eyed dragon head was held in Shen Can's hand. He stepped on the centipede spirit and lifted the one-eyed dragon head up in an instant.

Juyue, it's getting dark.

The darkness was so deep that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and it was so dark that even divine sense could not penetrate it.

The earth element and its rhythm are the same kind of darkness that cannot be sensed.

After a few breaths of darkness, the world brightened again.

Shen Can had already informed the alliance members about this strange phenomenon beforehand, so it did not cause much panic among the humans in the alliance.

Only then did he realize that the Candle Dragon Bronze Head was a true treasure, capable of even sealing off Daoist energy.

Unfortunately, he is unable to make a further judgment at the moment, since he has only just begun to grasp the essence of the Earth Element Dao.

Based on this situation, sealing off the vision of a quasi-seventh-level divine sense shouldn't be a problem; the only question is whether it can seal off a seventh-level one.

After all, even a seventh-order being can control at least 10% of the Daoist essence.

Stroking the dragon head, Shen Can returned to the Temple of Heroes, pondering how to borrow the power of the bronze head.

On the high platform outside the Temple of Heroes, where the Kui Ling War Drum was placed, Kui Yang spoke in astonishment.

"The darkness was so strange just now, I thought it was a solar eclipse."

Kuiyang was astonished. He had just felt the world darken, even though he had only recently advanced to the sixth rank and awakened the ancient Kui Ox bloodline during that advancement. Even a sixth-rank being with an awakened ancient bloodline could seal off the night...

That's way too dark.

"I was fortunate enough to obtain a magical artifact back then, and only today have I begun to glimpse its great supernatural powers."

Seeing that Shen Can didn't intend to say more, Kui Yang didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "By the way, I can't bear the combined battle intent of your human race. The nine camps, with so many humans, possess an overwhelming and powerful battle intent. I've only just advanced to the sixth rank, and I can't even describe the power that can be unleashed after their battle intent is gathered."

"Although our two races are on good terms, the fighting spirit needs to be sustained by those of the same bloodline, let alone the combined fighting spirit of so many warriors. I feel that it would explode at the slightest touch."

"I can't take it," I can't take it, I can't take it.

"However, you can learn from the method of the Marquis of Yongshan back then, and find a few people who are not afraid of death to refine them with lightning and fire."

Back then, the Marquis relied on this method to forcefully elevate his physical body to the level of beings who had just begun to comprehend the Dao.
