I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself
Chapter 409 - 177: Firewood Palace Conception
"Our Blazing Flame Division has cultivation techniques; if you are hurt, we can also help you heal."
Compared to Luyang’s contemplation, the Elder Witch Priest looked at Shen Can somewhat angrily.
"The Dai Land Human Race is being kept by the Earth Ants; even if our Blazing Flame heads north with a purpose, we will ultimately clash with the Earth Ants."
Upon saying this, the Elder Witch Priest was taken aback, quickly realizing the point.
It seemed to make sense, and he became somewhat anxious.
The Dai Land is being kept by the Earth Ants, and given the current power of the Earth Ants, there aren’t many who dare to challenge them.
As he spoke, Shen Can took out several beast hide scrolls from his Witch Pouch.
Divine Power Cultivation Techniques like "Great Wilderness Wildfire Slash," "Nine Questions of Sword Heart," "Sea Overturning Waves," "Mountain Guardian," were laid out on the table.
Celestial Vein Techniques like "Profound Yang Fire Python Skill," "Golden Jade Tiger Plate Technique," were also taken out. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Seeing the techniques, the Elder Witch Priest excitedly grabbed them.
He was actually a martial artist, lacking wizards in the mountains, and the Ancestral Temple needed managing, thus he took on the role in his old age.
Luyang also grabbed the techniques to look at; atop Star Mountain, there were only three more complete cultivation methods: one reaching Celestial Vein Ninth Layer, and two reaching Celestial Vein Eighth Layer.
As for martial skills, there were quite a few, but they were common.
Yet before them suddenly appeared so many improved martial skills and several techniques that could reach Celestial Vein Ninth Layer.
This instantly filled the mountain’s lack of inheritance.
Shen Can did not disturb them from reviewing techniques and divine powers; in fact, with the present situation in the Dai Land, Blazing Flame could establish its own foothold.
Upon further exploration of Star Mountain, Shen Can found it still had some essence.
For instance, under the pressure of the imposing Earth Ants, there was still a defiant war intent against them.
Acting under the name of the Star Mountain also avoids preliminary arrangements.
This was why he immediately explained his origins; a Tier Four Divine Treasure and an Ancestral Temple Witch Priest, it could be said the whole Star Mountain was under the control of these two.
Persisting in barren lands and harsh conditions was enough to prove their resolute will.
Facing them, Shen Can chose to be transparent; this would bridge the gap.
As for secrecy, withholding from other warriors in the mountains temporarily would suffice.
When the Blazing Flame’s tribal strength could withstand the Earth Ant’s siege, there would be no need for concealment.
Additionally, the group of humans in Star Mountain were equally resolute, persevering in harsh conditions, worthy for Blazing Flame to absorb.
Continuously integrating those with unyielding war intent into the clan division would invigorate the other warriors within, preventing the tribe from becoming stagnant.
...
"This is the farming area; the clan land of Zhuoyang Bo Division was destroyed too severely back then, with no avail even after years of restoration."
The next day, Shen Can and Luyang walked within Star Mountain, gaining a deeper understanding of it.
The fields seen were made by sinking stones into the marsh, then bringing in soil from outside.
Even so, there were not many places where grains could be planted.
There were collapsed mountain bodies everywhere, jagged rocks, and most people lived in caves, with stone steps carved into the mountain faces.
"Kill!"
In an ancient area surrounded by mountains, there were young people, middle-aged, and teenagers practicing cultivation.
Many wore fierce expressions, the leader holding an iron spear.
"Most of the youths were born in the mountain; young and middle-aged ones came from outside."
These people of varying ages were all practicing the same quenching method.
"Over the years, those who learned techniques here and left, I allowed to go, but sadly, few have returned."
"They all went seeking vengeance."
Luyang felt a bit wistful; he did not want to leave, but staying would not yield more cultivation resources, they had to venture outside, rely on their own hands to fight for it.
Shen Can looked at the figures practicing body tempering techniques at the foot of the mountain, many young faces held a resolute expression, clenching their teeth in perseverance.
The middle-aged men also persisted, bronze bodies marked with wrinkles showing they were no longer young.
Yet they continued to practice the Human Race’s fundamental quenching method.
After a pause, Shen Can spoke, "Our Blazing Flame Division has a Firewood Academy, split into Martial Arts and Witchcraft Paths, if there are any good seedlings in the mountain, they can join the academy for cultivation."
"Martial Arts directly lead to Divine Treasure, witchcraft can reach the Great Witch Realm."
As for when the Blazing Flame had a Firewood Palace, not yet, but when Shen Can returned, it would have one.
If he hadn’t gone to comprehend the Halberd Mark and met that old Human Race senior.
At this moment, even in naming it, he would have casually called it a Martial Arts Academy.
But after those words of wisdom from the senior broadening his vision, Shen Can understood naming it large now would make gathering people from other places simpler in the future.
The senior also mentioned, the Human Race’s refugee spread is vast, the Ancestral Land often sent Firekeepers to pass down martial arts, yet it could not cover everything.
Beyond Yongyi and Dai Land, surely other places existed; Blazing Flame hadn’t contacted them yet, but it doesn’t mean no contact in the future.
If it’s done, be the one where stars gather around the moon.
Continuing the fire, if the Ancestral Land can, so can we.
Not to mention, if Dai Land could become a place of teaching, scattered settlements in the vast mountains, should any have trained in the Firewood Academy.
Then, Dai Land would be Blazing Flame’s.
"Martial arts lead to Divine Treasure, witchcraft reaches the Great Witch Realm."
Luyang murmured this phrase, feeling its impact.
Such inheritance was incredibly enviable for the Dai Land, which lost its legacy.
