Chapter 504 - 210: Ten Million Nomads, Tens of Thousands of Miles of Influence (Part 2)
Shen Can began to perform outside the Ancestral Temple.
As his gestures changed, the Five Elements Source Power floating in the void outside the Ancestral Temple converged on him.
Afterwards, Shen Can sought out dozens of tribespeople of different ages and taught them this Quenching Technique.
After learning it, during cultivation, the tribespeople would attract the surrounding Five Elements Source Power, but only source power that was compatible would become present and integrate into their bodies.
However, for ordinary tribespeople, without Divine Sense, they couldn’t perceive the flow of source power, only sensing a slight increase in their internal strength.
Besides absorbing the free-floating Heaven and Earth Source Power, Shen Can also let tribespeople eat beast meat and Witch Medicine, continuing to perform this Quenching Technique, with still remarkable results.
Compared to the Five Pillars Skill, this Quenching Technique requires no threshold for cultivation; with a body holding several attribute constitutions, they can absorb several types of attribute source power.
This prevents the mismatch between humans and cultivation techniques, where cultivation becomes a burden instead.
Back when the Blazing Flame Tribe was still small, there was only the Kui Ox Fist within the tribe; regardless of suitability, it was the only technique, and you had to cultivate it.
People like Huo Chang and Huo Shan initially cultivated the Kui Ox Skill, then switched to the Fire Ape Skill during the Celestial Vein Realm.
Outside the Ancestral Temple.
Huo Shan also started to cultivate, and with his movements, four types of source power surged towards Huo Shan’s body, with the Fire Source Power being the most abundant.
Seeing this scene, the doubts were resolved, with Huo Shan possessing four attribute constitutions; it’s no surprise that he could cultivate Kui Ox Fist to ascend to Celestial Vein and then change to the Fire Ape Skill.
Of course, the newly derived Quenching Technique isn’t perfect either; compared to the refined Five Pillars Skill, the new Quenching Technique is rather too balanced.
Attracting everything means occupying everything, without any particular traits.
However, this isn’t a problem, as the Quenching Technique is designed for the Stone-Breaking and Mountain Opening Realm levels, which primarily enhance strength.
Shen Can derived this technique not to create strong warriors but to make it widespread so that tribespeople and more subordinates can become Martial Artists.
Especially those small tribes in the mountains, lacking Quenching Techniques within the tribe, perhaps only possessing a technique similar to the Blazing Flame that corresponds to one attribute.
In such cases, more than half the people might find the Quenching Technique unsuitable, thereby hindering their own cultivation.
In the future, when the Blazing Flame Bo Division continues to expand outward, having this Quenching Technique also facilitates the teaching of Martial Dao.
As for those subordinate tribespeople receiving teachings and reaching the Mountain Opening Realm, what happens next?
This is even less of an issue, as warriors of the Mountain Opening Realm in the Great Wilderness have the initial ability to protect themselves—changing cultivation techniques will solve it.
If they possess good talent, they can be brought into the Blazing Flame Headquarters Division for nurturing.
Never underestimate the Mountain Opening Realm’s strength; even today, although the Blazing Flame Division has been upgraded to the Bo Division for many years.
There are still tens of thousands of tribespeople among more than five million who are not even Stone-Breaker Realm warriors.
Not all tribespeople are so lucky to be recruited into the Blazing Flame Tribe when the timing of their suitable cultivation comes.
Some missed their cultivation opportunity before joining the Blazing Flame Tribe or suffered various injuries, resulting in difficulty in improving their strength.
Moreover, there is a portion of people naturally unfit for martial cultivation.
They’ve tried the Five Pillars Skill Quenching Technique one by one, but their bodies, like stubborn rocks, are impervious to any source power or beast meat essence.
Several days later, Shen Can specially selected over a hundred tribespeople from the tribe who weren’t even warriors and imparted the Quenching Technique to them.
After cultivating the Quenching Technique, Shen Can could clearly see that there were about a dozen tribespeople around whom the source power surged, yet only a few scattered points of light flew towards their bodies.
This was truly a lack of cultivation talent.
Excluding these people inherently unsuitable for cultivation, in the Great Wilderness, many are constrained in Martial Dao due to Quenching Technique issues.
...
After spending nearly ten thousand years of life span in total, Shen Can named the derived Basic Refining Technique as "Body Tempering Skill."
The development of the Body Tempering Skill provided him with some insights into his next cultivation path.
After all, he has now ascended to the late-stage Divine Treasure, just one small realm away from advancing to Tier Five.
Regarding the Tier Five Beast Form Realm and Tier Six Return to the Ancestor, Shen Can’s understanding came from the narration of predecessors from Dai Land.
However, neither the predecessors from Dai Land nor the several Sacrificial Spirits of Yongshan have practical knowledge of how to advance to these stages, only verbally describing these realms.
Within the Heaven-Riding Race, Tier Five is also known as the Divine Form Realm.
Heaven-Riding warriors, upon advancing from Tier Four to Tier Five, would condense the Celestial Wind God Dharma Form.
And the Tier Six of Heaven-Riding Race is called the Returning Ancestor Realm.
For many years, Yongyi hasn’t heard of the emergence of a Tier Five Human Race strong warrior.
Outwardly, the path of Martial Dao seems broken, as even advancing from Tier Three to Tier Four is so perilous, advancing from Tier Four to Tier Five must be even more dangerous.
Even Shen Can must handle this cautiously.
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, this is news just sent from Yongyi, which I retrieved from the Clan Leader side."
In the Side Hall, Shen Can, while reviewing the copy of Heaven-Riding Race’s cultivation method, cautiously pushed open the door, Ayu entered quietly.
Although Shen Can didn’t usually focus on daily tribal affairs, intelligence regarding Dai Land and Yongyi was still regularly delivered to the tribe.
Even when he wasn’t around, Ayu would place the intelligence on his desk.
"What’s the news this time?"
Shen Can unfolded the Beast Hide Scroll and glanced at it, then put it down with disinterest.
