Chapter 592 - 242: New Cultivation Technique Concept_2
Three days later.
Underground in the Five Elements Spiritual Land, a newly crafted Star Iron House stood quietly.
The entire house was made of meteorite iron, exuding a rather strong Power of Stars.
Soon, four Clan Guardian Beasts flew in.
They were originally cultivating, but all were summoned by a transmission from Shen Can.
Not only the war beasts came, but also Huo Yunn, who was recording on the side.
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, what’s the deal?"
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast, after shrinking its body, looked bloated like a small lizard, was the first to speak, and its eyes scanned the surroundings.
"Do you remember the Heaven-Riding Beast? Does anyone want to try transforming into a Heaven-Riding Beast?"
The few beasts had all participated in the siege of Earth Ant’s Divine Treasure Martial Artist in the Heaven-Breaking Grotto Heaven.
Upon hearing, they were taken aback.
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, are you kidding? Can we actually become Heaven-Riding Beasts?"
Since arriving at Blazing Flame, the few wild beasts had become more knowledgeable than mere mountain beasts; they had heard and learned much.
"The possibility lies in trying; how would you know without attempting?"
"I want to try."
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast immediately spoke, having consumed much Exotic Blood, but its Dragon Bloodline always dominated its origin.
The Ancestral Temple Keeper suggested trying it, so why not? If it worked, it would be a major gain.
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, I have a small request."
After agreeing, the Dragon Horn spoke up, "Can you, after dispelling the Holy Envoy Race, transfer me out of the tribe to guard the outside for a few years?"
This proposal was met with laughter from the Golden Sword Tiger and Dragon Bear.
Seeing Shen Can’s gaze, the Dragon Horn was a bit embarrassed, "In the tribe, those Deer Ladies always kick me. I am a dignified mid-stage Divine Treasure Great Wilderness Beast Lord; what’s wrong with finding a few more wives!
Let me clarify, I am at mid-stage Divine Treasure, not unable to beat one early-stage Divine Treasure."
"Furthermore, I’m pursuing the ambition of the Ancestral Dragon. One in the tribe, one in the Dai Land, one in the mountain, and just two outside."
Shen Can flicked his finger, signaling the Dragon Horn to keep quiet.
"Alright, I’ll arrange to transfer you out when the time comes."
"Don’t worry, Ancestral Temple Keeper, I guarantee to bring back another Divine Treasure War Beast to our tribe."
Compared to the Dragon Horn’s unserious attitude, the Old Profound Turtle was much more earnest. After pondering for a moment, it said, "My lifespan is running out; I want to advance further if I can."
The Old Profound Turtle previously had over eight hundred years of lifespan; now, after advancing to the late-stage Divine Treasure, it has increased by several hundred years.
As Shen Can gazed over, the Old Profound Turtle earnestly spoke, "Without a solid two thousand years, my heart won’t be at ease. What if I get seriously injured again and my lifespan is greatly reduced?
You all are too young and don’t understand the importance of being prepared; naturally, one should have more lifespan."
Shen Can didn’t say much more; he opened the Witch Pouch and took out more than a dozen boxes of Blood Crystals obtained from the Heaven-Breaking Grotto Heaven.
Originally, part of this batch of Blood Crystals was used as nourishment for Spirit Fruits; the remaining small portion was kept for emergencies, and over the years, the Heaven-Breaking Grotto Heaven continued to be mined, leaving the tribe with close to a hundred boxes in reserve.
These were all transformed from the Blood Marrow of Heaven-Riding Beasts; Shen Can planned to use the Blood Crystals and Clone Treasure Blood as ’Starlight Points’ for transforming the war beasts.
Whether it would work or not, he didn’t know but decided to give it a try.
"I’ll go first."
The Dragon Horn was the first to speak, swallowing a portion of the Clone Treasure Blood.
As for the Blood Marrow left behind by the Heaven-Riding Beast, it was set aside to see how the Dragon Horn changes before deciding whether to consume it.
Previously, in the Heaven-Breaking Grotto Heaven, the few war beasts had already consumed Blood Marrow, but consuming too much of it could easily trigger latent bloodthirsty and violent energy within them.
Ten days went by.
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast flew out of the Iron House, dragon power surging all over, aura strong, glaring with large eyes, without emitting any power of stars, and even spat out the Clone Treasure Blood it absorbed.
"This thing doesn’t merge with me; my bloodline can’t refine it."
Afterward, the Golden Sword Tiger and Dragon Bear also tried, with their results slightly worse than the Dragon Horn, emerging from the Iron House in ten days.
The blood energy from the Clone Treasure Blood was absorbed, but the dazzling starlight particles could not be refined at all.
"Let me try."
The Old Profound Turtle observed, feeling that the younger beasts were incapable; it had to take matters into its own hands as an elder.
Once inside the Iron House, the Old Turtle swallowed the suspended dazzling starlight.
"I’m supposed to eat rocks now."
After eating, the Old Turtle mumbled; although the stones were dazzlingly beautiful, rocks were still rocks.
It was no surprise that such things could not be refined.
After swallowing the Starlight Point, the Old Turtle immediately felt the dense particles contained a peculiar spiritual mechanism.
It attempted to refine this spiritual mechanism, only to discover it was incredibly wondrous, somehow creating an inexplicable connection with its body.
"Buzz!"
The ink-green turtle shell suddenly radiated brightly at this moment.
Shen Can caught this scene immediately. He was contemplating that if the Old Profound Turtle couldn’t manage, he would intervene personally to see if directly implanting the Starlight Point into the war beast’s body would work.
Considering his clone underwent a similar examination and seemed to be infused with the Starlight Point, autonomously refining it was not an option, so manual assistance was the alternative.
Soon, the patterns on the Old Turtle’s shell began to glow brightly, becoming more and more resplendent.
Seeing this, Shen Can directed his Clone Treasure Blood towards the Old Profound Turtle.
The Clone Treasure Blood had been divided into four parts, initially intending for each beast to receive a portion, yet the first three war beasts all failed using the same portion.
Observing the starlight shining, the Old Profound Turtle opened its mouth and swallowed the starlight mass in one gulp.
Buzz!
Once ingested, the profound patterns on the turtle shell glowed even more brilliantly, starting to spread across the entire turtle.
About a quarter of an hour later, the profound light receded, and the Old Turtle’s aura also withdrew, making it seem as if it was asleep, wrapped in a mysterious aura.
Noticing this, Shen Can examined it and found the Old Profound Turtle had entered a ’slumber’ state; many wild beasts go into slumber during bloodline evolution.
He refrained from rashly using Divine Sense to probe inside the Old Turtle to avoid disrupting its internal transformation.
Subsequently, Shen Can sat down beside the dwelling, continuing to deliberate on the methods of Star Cultivation.
Even though it was intended for his clone to cultivate, and without a reference technique, the clone itself served as the best point of reference.
Currently, his identity had ventured into the sandy region.
This area was filled with yellow sand and frequent meteorite falls.
...
Outside the Blazing Flame Race Territory.
In the cluster of mountains, Lord Jishan poked out a small head, squinted at the skies, and then disappeared again.
"Oh dear, it’s relentless." The Glazed Dragon coiled on Jishan’s shoulder.
"Blazing Flame has grown too fast, relying solely on one person; what it lacks is time."
Lord Jishan added, "Truly enviable."
He had taken a long tour around Yongyi, and now there were birdmen patrolling the skies above Blazing Flame, and even outside Celestial Monster, Cyan Sheep, and other tribes, birdmen were patrolling.
Now those birdmen flying in the sky hardly bothered to avoid people.
The Glazed Dragon rolled its eyes at Lord Jishan, speaking coldly, "Wipe the drool from your mouth."
Jishan glared at the Glazed Dragon, "I am a Divine Treasure, not some senile old fool."
"Bi Fang has even come to our tribe, asking me to mediate. Why the hell didn’t they do it earlier?
Bi Fang found the right person in me; I initially planned to follow Blazing Flame for a piece of the pie, and I did divide Bi Fang from them."
"Now that Blazing Flame can’t spare the effort, as soon as the external crisis is repelled, it will definitely sweep through Yongyi entirely; the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper isn’t the type to leave grudges unsettled."
"It’s unfortunate; internal development is insufficient, while external forces are probing, wanting to enhance everything in just a short century. How could it be that simple?
I feel this war will be ongoing; it might last for a century or two."
"Give Blazing Flame another hundred years, wouldn’t it sweep through Yongyi?"
"So envious."
"Do you think if I go back to Jishan now, quickly produce a few daughters, and marry them to the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper, would it work?"
"In a hundred years, riding this wave wouldn’t let me dominate?"
The Glazed Dragon wrapped its tail over its head, covering its ears.
"Isn’t my idea good?"
Without receiving a response from the Glazed Dragon, Lord Jishan gathered his thoughts, moved away from the tribe, and unconsciously shed the burden of the Chief of the Tribe, feeling increasingly relaxed.
As night fell, after a long time waiting for dawn, Lord Jishan quietly approached the Witch Array, preparing to deliver news about Yongyi to Shen Can.
