I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

After Kui Spirit could no longer sense Kui Mother, Shen Can did not stay where he was for too long and began the journey back to the clan land.

The main reason was that staying wouldn’t be useful; finding the exact location of the Profound Bird was impossible, and pinpointing the nearby area already required a connection between the mother and child, Kui Spirit and Kui Mother.

This journey east had two major gains beyond initially locating the Profound Bird. He also learned about the Pu Race that sacrifices to the Profound Bird.

By extracting memories from the Pu Race martial artist, Shen Can learned about the immense power of the Tushang Ancient City alliance.

Tushang Ancient City is a huge force located northeast of the Giant Mountain Range.

If you divide the Eastern Wilderness Southern Domain into three parts from east to west, then Tushang Ancient City represents the top-tier power of the eastern part of the Eastern Wilderness Southern Domain.

It’s considered a major power, not just a race, because Tushang Ancient City is an alliance formed by several extremely powerful races.

The tribes forming this racial alliance each have a Tier Seven existence.

The rise of the Jinyang Clan of the Pu Race began over a thousand years ago, coincidentally the same time this race began to worship the Profound Bird.

This confirms that the Profound Bird has been targeted by Tushang Ancient City for over a thousand years.

Although the Jinyang Clan of the Pu Race is merely a puppet, with the real mastermind behind it being Tushang Ancient City, and the intentions for sacrificing to the Profound Bird not pure, the Profound Bird has genuinely obtained the blood and energy from the offerings.

For Tushang Ancient City, the Profound Bird might not be significant, but for Yongyi, the Profound Bird’s emergence would be extremely dangerous.

The Flying Ship sailed through the mountains, with the Little Kui Spirit sitting on the Kui Drum, somewhat in a daze.

Shen Can, however, was drawing a map.

The location of the Giant Mountain Range is also in the eastern part of the Eastern Wilderness Southern Domain. Yet, placed in the vast wilderness of the eastern part of the Southern Domain, the area occupied by the Giant Mountain Range is not worth mentioning.

South of the Giant Mountain Range, across a vast wilderness, lies the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom, also a Tier Seven major power, inhabited by creatures of dragon lineage.

To the east of the Giant Mountain is the Pu Race, a Tier Five race.

To the northwest of the Giant Mountain are the Guanxiong Race and Earth Ant, both Tier Five races.

To the southwest of the Giant Mountain is the Wood Ginger Race, a Tier Five race.

In the eastern and southern parts of Yongyi are the Huantou Race, suspected of having a Tier Five guardian.

Within the Giant Mountain Range are Tier Five Feiyi and Tier Five Snow Beasts.

In the northeastern part of the Giant Mountain is the Human Race in Cloud River Valley. Although it has experienced the ravages of Feiyi, it previously had a Tier Five martial artist as a guardian; their life and death are currently unknown.

A simple map was quickly drawn by Shen Can.

The closest Tier Seven race to the Giant Mountain Range is the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom, but there are many Tier Five powers; Tier Six is not yet clear.

The Earth Ant and Huantou Race are enemies of the Yongyi Human Race. The Guanxiong Race and Wood Ginger Race have not yet been contacted.

Of the Wild Beasts in the mountains, Feiyi is a definite enemy, while Snow Beasts might be worth attempting to contact.

There is also the Kui Ox Race where Kui Spirit resides, living south of the Giant Mountain Range in the wetlands, though whether they are still there is unknown.

Currently, within the Giant Mountain Range’s territory, the main attractions for outsiders are the Profound Bird and the Earth Cave.

The Profound Bird has been targeted by the powerhouses of Tushang Ancient City.

The Earth Cave is under the watch of Tier Five creatures, and whether there are stronger beings is something Shen Can currently does not know though he guesses there probably are; they are just not discovered yet.

And the powerhouses of Tushang Ancient City are likely only interested in the Profound Bird and do not care much for the creatures in this region of Giant Mountain.

Soon, Shen Can thought through and made an initial division of the powers in the nearby area.

Huantou and Earth Ant are the first sequence targets.

The Wood Ginger and Guanxiong Races are the second sequence targets. While completing the first sequence target, investigations into the Wood Ginger and Guanxiong Races need to be conducted to determine whether they are enemies or allies.

Simultaneously, attempts should be made to develop the Earth Cave and acquire more resources.

Martial artists will be dispatched to Cloud River Valley to contact local Human Race and to the wetlands to find the whereabouts of the Kui Ox.

Only by sorting out the land on both sides of the Giant Mountain Range can potential crises be handled.

Blazing Flame Bo Tribe Territory.

Clouds of smoke twirl, and Source Power hangs like mist.

Throughout the valleys of Cang Mountain, Witch Medicine grows abundantly, with beast groups roaming within the valleys, drinking by the wetlands.

Upon witnessing this scene, Red Fire Luwu could not wait to return to his cave.

He never imagined that the concentration of Source Power in the cave would triple or quadruple in such a short time.

Shen Can, on the other hand, returned to the Ancestral Temple. During his absence, the wizards of the tribe took turns to clean the Ancestral Temple, conducting simple sacrifices.

Upon walking into the Ancestral Temple, he once again felt peace, and his mind settled.

Having not gone out before, he didn’t know how vast the outside world was. For the first time, he felt that the immense Giant Mountain Range was like a well, and the Human Race living here were like frogs at the bottom of the well.

Yet now, he hadn’t even sorted out this ’well.’

Even though in the morning some clan members had already cleaned the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can still slowly and steadily wiped the sacrificial artifacts once more, bringing his mind to a more peaceful state.

Leaving the Ancestral Temple, Ayu was still guarding there.

"Brother Acan, my child was born half a year ago."

Ayu rubbed his head. He hadn’t referred to Shen Can this way for a long time.

"Brother Acan, give him a name. Someday when I’m old, I’ll let my boy guard the Ancestral Temple."

Shen Can thought for a moment and said, "Call him Flame Dragon, like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate to become a dragon."

Ayu had been following him for a long time and had not neglected his cultivation, but unfortunately, he could not reach Tier Four.

"Flame Dragon, let’s call him Drake!"

Ayu was very satisfied with this name. He is a fish, and his little boy should transform from a fish into a dragon.
