Chapter 660 - 266: Ancestral Land Conception! (Part 2)
This also caught Lei Wanche’s attention. He did not follow Lord Giant Wilderness into the grand hall but instead stood outside, observing the surrounding mountains.
The mountains under the night sky resembled prostrate giant beasts, with streams of light occasionally slicing through the valleys.
"Does your division have flying birds nearby?"
Lin Yue continued, "Senior, our tribe possesses several Tier Four Flying Battle Beasts. They might have passed by earlier, attracting your battle beast’s attention."
Lei Wanche nodded, gently patted the Desolate Eagle, signaling it to behave, and walked toward the palace.
He did not enter the main hall but chose a side hall, closing the door with a snap.
...
Outside the grand hall, the Various Tribe Masters departed, and Huo Shan looked at Lord Jishan and Yann Wanyun.
"It’s been tough for you two."
Lord Jishan looked up at the grand hall, "The Tier Four Witch Artifacts have been turned into lamps. It’s been years since we last met, and such changes have taken place."
"I have prepared some fine wine. Let’s have a drink, and you can tell me about the encounters along the way."
Huo Shan grabbed both of them by the arm and headed to a side hall.
Inside the hall, a Copper Cauldron was already steaming, and the wine jars were opened, filling the room with a rich fragrance.
"Come, a toast to you both."
Huo Shan picked up a wine jar, gestured to Lord Jishan and the two, and then drank heartily from it.
...
At this moment, after Old Profound Turtle put down the people, it made its way deep into the Clan Land.
Shen Can’s seven disciples had already led some clan wizards, awaiting Old Profound Turtle’s arrival.
As Old Profound Turtle descended, the clan wizards, surprised by how large it had become, quickly started bustling around it.
Earlier, a large number of Huantou Race members were eliminated in the Yongyi South Border, and some Huantou Race captives were seized, along with some of their used sacrificial artifacts and instruments.
"The Huantou Race’s classics, sacrificial artifacts, and ritual items should be given to us. Also, we need some of their armor for research."
"We’ll take the corpses."
"Where are the Witch Artifacts? Give us the Witch Artifacts."
"We need the living ones; give us the living ones."
The items brought back from the Huantou Race were divvied up in no time.
At this moment, within a grand majestic hall.
The hall was brightly lit, with countless silk threads hanging down from the beams, each line bearing a Jade Scroll.
Each Jade Scroll etched with the name of a different Bo Division.
Every Tribe Leader’s cultivation realm, approximate age range, and the attribute they’re cultivating were all recorded on the Jade Scrolls.
Besides this, which tribes harbored suspicious intentions were also preliminarily categorized.
Along the way, the avatars and a group of Blazing Flame Clan People were not following idly; differentiation had been done long ago.
Over the years, squeezed in together, these tribe leaders naturally connected and communicated with tribes they felt closer to.
Through these exchanges and visits, the faction divisions among the various Yongyi Tribe Masters were quite interesting, initially divided by region.
Lords of neighboring regions communicated the most with each other and lived nearby.
Like the Giant Wilderness and Giant Sand Bo Divisions, the region’s Bo Division leaders gathered around them.
Besides regional divisions, some smaller Bo Division leaders also formed several cliques.
Lord Jishan, Yann Wanyun, and some Southern Border tribes who had clashed with the Huantou Race naturally felt an affinity.
This was also true for Shen Can, perhaps due to their common resistance against the Alien Race, instinctively feeling goodwill.
Along the way, Lord Jishan, Yann Wanyun, and several Southern Border divisions frequently visited and communicated, including Yan Jiang and his companions.
Of course, Yan Jiang and a few third-generation clan members also visited each Lord Bo.
Back when Shen Can traveled through Yongyi, he sensed that the influence of the Ancestral Temple Keeper was diminishing among the various Yongyi divisions.
This was markedly different from the Blazing Flame because other Bo Divisions’ Ancestral Temple Keepers were unable to bear the responsibility of guiding Sacrificial Spirits and inferring Cultivation Techniques, resulting in the diminished influence of the Ancestral Temple Keeper.
This led each Clan Chief to hold absolute power over their tribe.
It’s not that the Clan Leaders cannot act unilaterally, but rather the Ancestral Temple Keeper has not fulfilled its role.
After the Clan Leader takes reins of the clan division, the significance of Sacrifices gradually surfaces in importance, no longer able to sway the tribe’s development.
This resulted in, through the Clan Leader’s cultivation status, a rough assessment of the spiritual demeanor of various tribal people.
Everyone pursued the Martial Dao, treating Sacrifice as a habit, not pondering its deeper meanings.
Of the over seven hundred Divine Treasure Realm Martial Artists’ Bo Divisions, only two hundred and fifty-three have been passed down through two generations.
Of those passed down through five generations or more, only forty-seven remain.
More than half of the Bo Divisions are First Generation Bo Divisions, unable to cultivate heirs for the second generation.
Besides the difficulty in advancing to the Divine Treasure, another reason is the suppression from the originally dominant regional Bo Divisions.
Once a Bo Division lineage extends to the second generation, the first action is to suppress neighboring tribes that occasionally ascend to Bo Division status.
Not to mention, those lineage extended to three or more generations would certainly do likewise.
Based on this observed data, Shen Can categorized the Various Tribe Masters into usable, useful, and cautiously usable categories.
The usable ones were the tribes like Changhuan, Zhi Shui, Qianshan, and Thousand Lakes from the Yongyi South Border, totaling less than twenty tribes.
The usable category was mostly First Generation Bo Divisions, who more than anyone hoped to preserve their lineage.
Particularly those Bo Divisions originally under the control of powerful Lord Bos—this time the Blazing Flame Tribe effectively liberated them.
