Chapter 627 - 254: Tier 5!
Huo Chang couldn’t understand what the Sixth Transformation meant, but in his eyes, Shen Can had suddenly reverted to a state of purity, becoming imperceptible to even the slightest blood energy.
Shen Can was helpless now, as the refinement of his blood energy made the aura around him increasingly intense during cultivation.
This was not intentional; it was the inevitable dispersed aura from the circulation of the blood energy.
The main issue was the overwhelming blood energy; his body was like a mountain, generating pressure naturally.
Under this aura, not even Huo Chang could do much, and even if Huo Shan or Yann Wanyun came, it would be the same.
Of course, Huo Shan and Yann Wanyun could take a few more steps forward.
This transformation occurred after refining the blood energy to the Sixth Transformation, as if there had been an instantaneous metamorphosis at the level of life.
The Four-Colored Deer within the clan sensed his aura during cultivation for the first time, saying that during cultivation, he was like a sleeping Beast King.
At this moment, reflecting on it, Shen Can recalled that the Tier Five of the Holy Envoy Race was increasingly like a bird.
It confirmed that the Tier Five of the Holy Envoy Race had not truly progressed normally.
The Tier Five of the Holy Envoy Race seemingly hadn’t completed a true metamorphosis in life level.
The two sat on the main trunk of the Giant Wood, watching the clan land. Huo Chang pondered for a long time, trying to find a word to describe the sudden changes within the clan.
Regrettably, in the end, he couldn’t think of one.
"I’ve been gone for these years, and the changes within the clan have been massive."
Shen Can didn’t expect Huo Chang to start referring to himself as an old man.
If calculated seriously, he was almost a hundred years old.
But this age was just the prime for exploration in the Great Wilderness.
Then, Huo Chang pointed to the distant column of star light, "This Celestial Eye Array you constructed, can it truly aid Witch Medicine growth?"
Speaking of the Star Heaven Eye Array, Shen Can also felt a bit helpless.
No choice, for his cultivation now was like a gluttonous Giant Beast, requiring vast resources with each refinement.
From the Fourth Transformation to the Sixth Transformation, the energy level of the Source Power in ordinary Source Stones diminished once more for him.
If he truly opened up to absorb Source Power, it could dry up the whole valley.
Moreover, these Source Stones couldn’t be used by simply swallowing them; constant refinement was needed.
As the transformations progress, the time for refining absorbed Source Stones grows longer and longer, consuming considerable time in cultivation.
With just one Tier Five Treasure Medicine, he could save abundant time.
No wonder Yongyi hasn’t produced any Tier Five, for others in Tier Five, they can’t endure the cultivation environment of Yongyi.
Shen Can was different; he possessed the Divine Technique of All Transformations Return to One, capable of squeezing a drop of urine from a toad. Even if gnawing stone, he could slowly advance to Tier Five over thousands or tens of thousands of years.
But technique aside, he had no intention to squeeze out the last drop of urine from a toad nor did he plan to gnaw the Giant Mountain Range clean.
Besides, this was just breaking through to Tier Five; post-Tier Five cultivation also required resources.
Therefore, Shen Can felt that waiting wasn’t viable; without treasure, he should organize logistics himself.
The cultivated Witch Medicine, even with decades of herbal age, had effects tens of times better than Source Stones under the configuration of Medicine-Mashing Rabbit.
To cultivate the Primordial Vein and Witch Medicine, self-sufficiency wasn’t too late.
Hence, the Celestial Eye Array was born under such circumstances.
Fortunately, the effect was quite good. Though the conversion effect of the Power of Stars to Power of the Five Elements was only thirty percent, it initiated the use of Star Power to supplement Five Elements Power.
This additional thirty percent Five Elements Power significantly enhanced the growth of Witch Medicine within the clan.
After sitting for a while on the trunk, the two headed towards the Ancestral Temple.
"Seems like you need to find a secluded, deserted place for cultivation in the future."
Upon returning to the Side Hall, Huo Chang suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder some strong figures like living alone as chronicled in handnotes and travelogues, it’s a necessity."
Shen Can fetched wine and tossed it directly to Huo Chang.
"Ashan’s work is adequate, isn’t it?"
"He’s been in Yongyi without returning, yet the clansmen say he’s increasingly like you."
Hearing Shen Can say so, Huo Chang paused for a moment.
Then nodded, "As long as he isn’t causing trouble, and we continue developing steadily, Yongyi and Dai Land will eventually fall under our control."
Drinking continued late into the night, and only then did Huo Chang leave Shen Can’s place. Early the next morning, he started wandering around the clan.
Although the Clan Protection Array currently spanned only three hundred miles, the range of growth of the giant tree had extended to a thousand miles, enveloping the night in a verdant haze.
As usual, Shen Can returned to the top of the old tree trunk for cultivation; the pressure swept across a thousand-zhang area once more.
Without high-tier Spiritual Objects, you use whatever is available.
Now within the clan, the planting of Witch Medicine and blending of Witch Pills ensured almost everyone including Wizards, Medicine-Mashing Rabbit, and Little Spirit Race were busy supporting his cultivation.
Shen Can was now cultivating systematically, and upon reaching the Ninth Transformation, he could refine Beast Form, advancing to Tier Five.
He currently felt like a Pixiu, swallowing vast quantities of Source Stones daily.
Huo Chang, upon returning, only stayed for over half a month before heading back to Dai Land, satisfied with the clan’s development and reassured by Huo Shan’s efforts.
After Huo Chang returned to Dai Land, Shen Can too began focused cultivation, preparing for a decisive breakthrough to the Tier Five Realm.
...
Night descended, under the bright moon and stars.
Under the night sky, five large columns of starlight descended like celestial pillars from high above.
Especially on nights when the moon was bright, the gentle moonlight instantly cloaked the celestial pillars with a misty hue.
Below the large columns of starlight, the star light was absorbed into the array, transformed into strands of Five Elements Source Power floating on the earth.
