I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Not only the Witch Vein ruptured, but the entire person also suffered severe injuries.

Over one thousand three hundred Wizards gathered outside the Ancestral Temple, supporting each other and exchanging experiences.

After one day, all the Wizards had learned the Witchcraft Path Cultivation Technique taught by Shen Can.

With a complete Cultivation Technique, it would be greatly beneficial for them to break through to the Tier Four Great Witch level.

After learning it, they would also teach other Wizards within the tribe.

However, Shen Can ordered that the tribe’s Wizards should only be taught up to the level they have cultivated to. When breaking through to the next tier, they could then apply within the tribe for the subsequent Technique.

After learning the Cultivation Technique, the tribe members gradually left, and Shen Can met with the pure-hearted Wizard Yan Zeng the next day.

At that time, Yan Zeng was quite manly.

"Greetings to the Ancestral Temple Keeper."

The once dashing young man now had a head full of white hair, appearing old and frail.

Yan Zeng, who forcefully broke through the realm barrier to obtain temporary Tier Four Combat Power, suffered an overwhelming backlash.

Fortunately, there was Witch Medicine within the tribe, or else he might not have been saved.

Even so, Yan Zeng, after returning to the tribe, had to recuperate for over half a year before he could get out of bed and walk.

Shen Can invited Yan Zeng to take a seat.

Yan Zeng sat across from Shen Can, a little apprehensively.

"Here, look at this."

Shen Can pointed to a Jade Scroll on the desk. Although Yan Zeng suffered severe injuries and his Witch Vein was completely ruptured and beyond recovery, his Divine Sense remained and had recovered to the early stage of Tier Three, so reading the Jade Scroll posed no problem.

Inside the Jade Scroll was a partially fragmented section of the All Heaven Star Fighting Skill that Shen Can had placed, along with a more in-depth part of the Star-Attracting Array Spirit Ban.

This part of the Spirit Ban was still under deduction and had not been distributed to the tribe.

Yan Zeng grabbed the Jade Scroll and pressed it against his brow. The content inside was somewhat overwhelming, and it took him a long while to sort it out initially.

...

"Speak boldly."

Encouraged by Shen Can, Yan Zeng opened up: "Ancestral Temple Keeper, the Witch Rune Spirit Ban in here is a continuation of the tribe’s built Star Attraction Array. It seems more complex than the existing Star Attraction Array within the tribe.

Moreover, the Array is no longer singular but has combined into a larger Star Array formation."

"Furthermore, there is a Star Cultivation Method in there, which appears to have some formation that is a bit similar to the Array Map of the Star Attraction array.

And I also feel that part of the stars and mountain configuration fusion is in it."

Yan Zeng pointed out everything he could discern.

Even noticing the fusion of stars and mountain configuration was somewhat unexpected to Shen Can.

Clearly, there had been significant changes in Yan Zeng.

Shen Can had all the cultivation data of Yan Zeng since his embarking on the path of cultivation, including every breakthrough made after Witch Cultivation and his participation in constructing which Witch Arrays.

According to the tribe’s records, before Yan Zeng suffered severe injuries, he had never independently overseen the construction of any Witch Array, always serving as an assistant in building Witch Arrays.

In other words, his talent in Witch Array construction was average, capable of building Witch Arrays step by step according to the tribe-given Array Map or conducting maintenance on existing Witch Arrays.

He just wasn’t too quick-witted.

But now, his mind had become agile; indeed, having a love interest brings good fortune.

"The tribe arranged for you to repair the Star Attraction Array as an Artisan. Tell me about your experience."

Upon Shen Can’s inquiry, Yan Zeng lowered his head. Initially, he was very despondent.

Of course, he didn’t regret what he had done. His wife Jianng Yu suffered severe Divine Treasure shattering, yet succeeded in stepping into the Divine Treasure Realm.

Though heavily injured, after years of recuperation, she fully recovered.

Before the tribe arranged for him to maintain the Star Attraction Array, they offered him another choice, which was to teach Witch disciples. He chose to maintain the Star Attraction Array.

While maintaining the array, he rested and slept relying on the array.

The Star Attraction Array doesn’t exclusively attract the Power of Stars at night; it works during the day too, although invisible and less effective during daylight.

Initially, repairing the array was routine; these steps had long become second nature.

Wherever it broke, just replace it. Even as a ’waste’, it presented no difficulty.

Four months into his role as an Artisan repairing the Star Array, a thought inexplicably emerged in Yan Zeng’s mind as he replaced a cracked Array Base.

If the position of the broken Array Base were adjusted slightly, he could reduce the frequency of its damage.

This idea shocked Yan Zeng. Previously, he had always followed the rules in building and repairing the array, fearing any deviation from the Array Map would cause problems.

This was the first time the thought of altering the Array Base position occurred to him.

Despite having such a notion, he dared not act on it and continued maintaining the Star Attraction Array according to routine.

But the thought lingered in his mind, with voices incessantly urging him to give it a try.

The Star Attraction Array was vast. Even though it was merely swapping a few blocks of Array Base, Yan Zeng feared it might trigger a chain reaction, destroying the array.

Fortunately, shortly after the thought emerged, the tribe conducted a unified comprehensive inspection of the Star Attraction Witch Array.

Yan Zeng bravely presented his idea to the Great Wizard Huo Jue.

After Huo Jue consulted with several Great Witches, they discovered a high feasibility, first replacing a few blocks of Array Base in one Star Attraction Witch Array as a comparison.

Upon comparison, noticeable effects emerged.

In the modified area, the Array Base surprisingly lasted for over a year without developing any cracks.
