Chapter 711 - 287: A New Journey
At this moment, Shen Can spoke, knowing that facing the pressure of the Tier Seven Profound Bird, if there was no glimmer of hope, most of the people present would be crushed to death in one breath.
His words drew the attention of many Divine Treasure Martial Artists.
Particularly, the young Divine Treasures of the Blazing Flame Bo Division looked at Shen Can with eyes full of fervor and admiration.
They knew the Ancestral Temple Keeper would have a solution.
Shen Can continued, saying, "When Marquis Yongshan campaigned against the Profound Bird, he actually left a backhanded move, which is the Kui Ox War Drum."
How the Kui Ox War Drum was left behind is already unimportant, but it’s not incorrect to say it was left by Marquis Yongshan at this moment.
The Blazing Flame claims to have risen by acquiring the Marquis’ inheritance, and now stating this is considered a continuation of the lineage.
"The Profound Bird was severely wounded by the Marquis and needs to absorb external power to heal.
The reason the Holy Envoy Race captures sacrifices in Yongyi from time to time is not just for sacrifice, but also to replenish the Profound Bird’s energy.
The Profound Bird is the overlord of the Giant Mountain Range, where not only our Human Race resides, but also the Huantou, Earth Ant, Guanxiong, and Wood Ginger races. Among these races, the Earth Ants are still worshiping the Profound Bird, while the situation of the Huantou, Guanxiong, and Wood Ginger races is unknown—they may or may not be worshiping the Profound Bird.
Now that the Holy Envoy Race has been found and annihilated by us, the Profound Bird has lost one path to acquire blood food, which will inevitably delay the time it takes to heal its injuries and awaken.
Therefore, defeating the Earth Ants not only rescues more Human Race bloodlines but also delays the Profound Bird’s awakening time."
As Shen Can spoke, a part of the Divine Treasure Martial Artists experienced a renewed fluctuation in their expressions.
"Moreover, I have already found the place where the Profound Bird heals its wounds!"
"What!"
"Where?"
Many people instinctively opened their mouths to inquire.
"It’s within the Giant Mountain Range."
"We of the Blazing Flame are skilled in the Witch Array technique. The Witch Array can capture the Power of Heaven and Earth. Since we have found the Profound Bird’s hiding place, we can also construct a Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Witch Array at the Profound Bird’s hiding place, artificially creating a Source Power wasteland."
"In the eyes of the Tier Seven Profound Bird, our Human Race is like ants and insects, but ants can climb Divine Wood, and insects can have earth-shaking power."
"As for the materials and Source Stones to construct the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Witch Array, they can be obtained from the Earth Ants. The Earth Ant’s internal core is an energy source, the scales, and skin can be refined into Witch Artifact materials, and its flesh can be refined into Blood Pills—the entire body is a treasure."
The Blazing Flame Clan People have long known that the Earth Ant is entirely a treasure, but some Lord Divine Treasures, Elders, and Rangers who have not been to the Dai Land are not yet aware.
They involuntarily looked at those who had been to Dai Land and received affirmative nods.
"Besides the Earth Ant Race, there is another mysterious Earth Cave in the Giant Mountain Range with countless Spirit Monsters, where Tier Five Spirit Monsters abound and can also serve as materials for creating the Grand Array and cultivation resources.
The Earth Cave is vast, with Tier Five Treasure Medicine even on its edges, and how many treasures are inside is still unknown."
"We of the Blazing Flame have a method to advance to Tier Five."
With these words, the Lords of Giant Sand, Giant Wilderness, Xia Shan, Qianze, and others from the Ranger, including Li Wanyang, showed an eager expression.
Tier Five Techniques, Tier Five Resources... for a moment, the more they thought, the more excited they became.
The words of the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper not only revealed that Yongyi is not a hopeless place but also showed that everyone present has the potential to advance further.
With hope comes motivation.
Shen Can did not look at the expressions of the many Martial Artists present but continued, "Back when the Marquis campaigned against the Profound Bird, the Kui Ox assisted.
The Kui Ox Race lives in the depths of forests southwest of the Giant Mountain Range. Finding the Kui Ox Race brings us an additional ally."
"We expand outward to open up pathways outside the Giant Mountain Range and attempt to develop new lands for living and reproduction.
If we cannot defeat the Profound Bird, we have the Giant Turtle, warships, and Flying Ships that can carry our clansmen away from the Giant Mountain to reproduce and thrive in newly developed regions, in hopes of another battle!"
After speaking, Shen Can closed his eyes and rested without further words.
Within the grand hall, the many Divine Treasure Martial Artists initially murmured softly, but then the voices grew louder and louder, like tens of thousands of ducks quacking.
"Ahem!"
Finally, Huo Shan coughed, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Everyone is already aware of the situation of our Yongyi Human Race. Those present can be said to encompass all the strength of Yongyi. The future direction of billions of our Human Race in Yongyi is in the hands of all of us.
Today, while everyone is here, let’s decide the future course of Yongyi.
If anyone has ideas and suggestions, feel free to speak up."
...
"Break through the Earth Ants as soon as possible to acquire resources and simultaneously rescue the Dai Land Human Race, for the more the population, the more geniuses will be born."
"It’s not just the Earth Ants. The Human Races in other parts of the Giant Mountain Range should also be contacted."
"The alliance needs to establish new departments responsible for investigating various parts of the Giant Mountain Range. We cannot be blind."
"We need to clarify whether the Guanxiong and Wood Ginger races are enemies or friends. If they are indeed enemies and are worshiping the Profound Bird, we must not sit idly by."
"Furthermore, the old man believes we should concentrate manpower and resources to select geniuses throughout Yongyi for centralized training. Our Human Race needs more Tier Five and even Tier Six individuals. There’s no time to waste; this needs immediate action."
"We can no longer hide and hold back; we must truly unite and face challenges together!"
Elder Lord Changhuan abruptly stood up from the crowd, waving his veined arms and loudly appealed.
"Back when Marquis Yongshan dared to attack the Profound Bird Race, although I am not as great as Marquis Yongshan, I too grew up listening to Marquis’ stories and have the same determination to face death without fear."
"I agree with the Elder Lord. We need to establish our own cultivation system for the Human Race, not be confined within each division, and select talented Martial Artists from all divisions."
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
One of the Lords voiced agreement. The Blazing Flame Bo Division has produced many Divine Treasure Martial Artists in recent years, and young Celestial Vein Martial Artists have emerged one after another, significantly stimulating those Lords who have fortunately advanced to Divine Treasures, establishing the first-generation Bo Divisions.
Everyone has observed that the Blazing Flame Bo Division’s success rate in advancing to Divine Treasures is too high.
Moreover, some people have discovered there are specialized Wizards in the Blazing Flame Bo Division that assist clansmen in advancing to Divine Treasures.
This undoubtedly represents that the Blazing Flame Bo Division has broken through the long-standing barriers to advancing to Divine Treasures in Yongyi.
Just now, the Ancestral Temple Keeper personally mentioned the existence of Tier Five inheritances and mysterious caves with Tier Five resources.
Over the years, why has Yongyi been like a stagnant pool? It’s not merely because the path of Martial Dao hits a roadblock at Tier Five.
The strength of Blazing Flame is something they cannot resist. However, the Blazing Flame has established a Tribe Alliance rather than using powerful means to annex various divisions, indicating the Blazing Flame Bo Division’s willingness to lead everyone together.
To go against now would be foolish.
Hanging tightly onto the Blazing Flame Bo Division and advancing together is the most correct choice.
Creating new territories for the Human Race and enlarging one’s tribe in the process is inseparable, with no conflict between the two.
As time went on, everyone’s emotions were stirred up.
Even though Yongyi has decayed for many years, not everyone is willing to sink into oblivion.
The Human Race inherently has a kind of stubborn resilience, otherwise, how did they migrate bit by bit from the Human Ancestral Land to the Giant Mountain Range, crossing countless barriers?
Finally, everyone agreed upon the plan for the next steps, with the first move being to attack the Huantou and Earth Ants, advancing on two fronts simultaneously.
Attacking the Huantou is to continue driving the Huantou Race further south, to at least create a larger buffer zone between the Huantou Race and the Human Race.
Only this way can the Yongyi South Border ensure the reproduction and thriving of the Human Race.
Conquering the Earth Ants aims to rescue the Dai Land Human Race and acquire more population, as well as cut off another path for the Profound Bird to acquire blood food.
From this perspective, the importance of the Dai Land Earth Ants surpasses that of the Huantou Race.
Of course, another goal of waging war against these two races is to acquire cultivation resources. The Earth Ants are a treasure trove, with values surpassing that of the Huantou Race.
While the Human Race indeed can thrive, it also requires a large population base to increase the chances of producing geniuses.
At the same time, an abundant supply of resources is needed. Yongyi lacks sufficient resources, so quicker advancements require external expansion.
Staying put in Yongyi means awaiting certain doom.
Additionally, an alliance’s Desert Patrol Department will be formed to investigate the north and south situations of the Giant Mountain Range, make contact with the Human Race in Cloud River Valley, and conduct a preliminary investigation to clarify whether the Guanxiong and Wood Ginger races are enemies or friends.
Finally, the discussed plan was written on a piece of beast hide.
Huo Shan, as the Alliance Leader, was the first to leave his mark on it.
Subsequently, the Lords, Elders, Ranger Divine Treasures, and Blazing Flame Divine Treasure Martial Artists from each division also left their marks on it.
