I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Although it is simple and crude, and somewhat incompatible when used on the Human Race, Shen Can is not afraid of crudeness and incompatibility.

What he needs is a catalyst.

"Divine Essence Witch Transformation Skill" is the second Witchcraft Dao Technique cultivated by Jinze, practiced during Tier Three.

This Witchcraft Technique is indeed formidable; although Shen Can doesn’t know if there’s a follow-up Tier Four Technique, the first and second tiers are definitely specified.

Hai Yuansi did just that, extracting the Third Layer suitable for Tier Three Wizards from this Witchcraft Technique that leads directly to Tier Three or Four, and handed it to Jinze for cultivation.

"Furnace Transformation Skill" is a Tier Four Great Witch cultivation technique, extracted directly from the Fourth Layer, given to Jinze for cultivation without before or after context.

"Soul Absorption Technique" leans towards the Gold Attribute, "Divine Essence Witch Transformation Skill" leans towards the Water Attribute, "Furnace Transformation Skill" leans towards the Earth Attribute.

In this regard, Jinze is still a genius, relying on three unmatched Witchcraft Techniques, he ascended to Tier Five.

As for the Tier Five Witchcraft cultivation method, Hai Yuansi didn’t provide it; whether it’s because he didn’t have time to or never intended to give it, with him dead it’s unknown.

In the corresponding memories, Shen Can couldn’t find it either; Jinze’s absorption of Hai Yuansi’s memories was incomplete.

"Master, these are the remaining resources I won’t be using anymore. I’m offering them all to you, Master."

At this moment, Jinze spoke, revealing a golden glow on his remaining bones.

Shen Can had already extracted all his memories, so hiding anything naturally became meaningless.

If not revealed now, it would be awkward if found out.

Actually, he didn’t have much left.

There’s just a crescent-shaped Witch Artifact from the former master, Hai Yuansi.

The rest was sold from the former master, using it to purchase thirty remaining Tier Five Source Stones for the "Sealing Spirit Possession Ban."

As soon as dozens of Source Stones appeared in the hall, a tide of Source Power surged throughout the entire hall space.

Shen Can raised his hand and drew the Source Stone over.

He discovered from Jinze’s memories that Tushang Ancient City could actually produce Source Stones at scale, which is equivalent to hard currency.

The key is that this item is recognized by all races; even though he was seeing Tier Five Source Stones for the first time, he felt they were suitable as currency for transactions.

The Source Power contained within each Source Stone is constant, making their use extremely significant.

Shen Can rubbed the Pagoda Seal on the Tier Five Source Stone, pondering whether he could create this item himself.

Although the clan now possesses a Star Attraction Array, it is still far from reaching the level suitable for Tier Five cultivation.

Additionally, Tier Five Source Stones aren’t only used for cultivation; they can also be applied in Witch Arrays and Witch Artifacts.

The clan has forged numerous warships, but only one Tier Five Warship, the Wind Thunder Flying Ship previously seized and repaired from the Holy Envoy Race, has been moved.

Moreover, it is seldom used precisely due to the lack of resources to drive the Tier Five Warship.

The clan’s Grand Array has dispersed more Array Base points due to insufficient Source Power, resolving the issue of lack of Source Power.

Although usable, nothing is more convenient than the Tier Five Source Stones.

Furthermore, this item is recognized as hard currency for bartering among the various races; if he could manufacture them, that would be incredibly profitable.

Out of the thirty-three Source Stones, only three lack the Pagoda Seal and appear rough, being directly cut from mined Source Stones.

"Master, Tier Five Source Stones are highly valued in Tushang Ancient City, and ordinary Tier Five creatures without a powerful race backing won’t actually have many."

Watching Shen Can inspecting the Source Stones, Jinze explained, assuming Shen Can was dissatisfied with the quantity he had taken out.

Shen Can grasped one of the Water Element Source Stones, and the surging Water Source Power was instantly absorbed into his body.

The Celestial Vein began operating, rapidly refining the incoming Water Source Power.

The Water Source Power within this Source Stone, resembling a Water Dragon, after undergoing one Circulation of the Heavens, about one-tenth was transformed into vital essence and merged into the Divine Treasure.

Seeing Shen Can starting cultivation, Jinze quietly stood on the side waiting.

He had become accustomed to this; after becoming Hai Yuansi’s servant, his every move couldn’t escape his master’s supervision, especially after ascending to Tier Five.

He didn’t wish to change his Witchcraft Cultivation Method; it simply was that there wasn’t any opportunity.

After nine Circulations of the Heavens, Shen Can completely absorbed the Source Power from the Water Element Source Stone into his body.

He was at Tier Five Early Stage, yet his physique was stronger than Wild Beasts of the same stage, and the speed of refining Source Power naturally far exceeded the same tier.

For other Tier Five Early Stage cultivators, under different conditions like Cultivation Method and physique, this Source Stone might require dozens, even hundreds of Circulations of the Heavens to completely transform into vital essence.

Correspondingly, the more Circulations of the Heavens operated, the more time consumed.

In this regard, the Tier Five Source Stones produced in Tushang Ancient City were indeed honest, lacking impure Source Power.

Source Stones absorbed clean Source Power, and were covered in cracks from inside out, soon crumbling into fragments.

This resulted in the loss of possibility for a second infusing of Source Power, which was quite unfriendly.

Afterwards, Shen Can grasped a natural Source Stone in his hand, and after refining, found no difference between the two.

From Jinze’s memory, the Pagoda Seal Source Stone was boosted to Tier Five by Tushang Ancient City’s infusion of secret techniques into part of insufficiently Tier Five Source Stones.

But since they are the same, why leave the Pagoda Seal? Just to prove it’s manufactured in Tushang Ancient City?

Moreover, the Source Stone ore vein content is like mist; there are places dense and places sparse, and it’s impossible to maintain a constant value.

Extracting rich Source Power to remedy lacking Source Power to achieve unity?

But this can’t explain why a Pagoda Seal has to be left.

Shen Can quickly thought of a reason; perhaps the Pagoda Seal is a trace left by secret techniques infusion or extraction of Source Power.

As for those visibly carved from natural mined Source Stones, they may not be flowed from Tushang Ancient City.

Tushang Ancient City rules over many races and has many Tier Five Source Stone veins; it’s impossible for Tushang Ancient City to monopolize every mine.

Furthermore, other forces of the same level exist outside Tushang Ancient City, possessing mines as well.

Despite how powerful Tushang Ancient City is, it cannot stamp the Pagoda Seal on all circulating Source Stones.

Not to mention, Source Stones themselves are consumables.

Shen Can looked at the Pagoda Seal, his Divine Sense enveloped it, but unfortunately, the seal was just an inscribed indentation, showing no trace of Witch Rune or Spirit Ban.

No text, not even a stroke; it’s quite vexing for him, Tiger Bulk.

Soon, Shen Can gathered the Source Stones into the jade box, storing them away to prevent strong Source Power tide if left in the Stone Hall.

He then turned his gaze to the crescent-shaped Witch Artifact.

"Why not sell this Witch Artifact?"

"Intended to, but didn’t have time."

Jinze couldn’t help but be honest.

This is a unique Witch Artifact of the Shallow Sea Race, capable of gathering water force, marked with the exclusive fish scale pattern of the Shallow Sea Race.

Witch Artifacts from Tier Six major forces Martial Artists, although the Shallow Sea Race is far from the Giant Mountain Range, Shen Can felt it was better to temporarily store it.

"Take a rest."

Later, Shen Can dismissed Jinze with a wave.

He noted down three Witchcraft Cultivation Methods on paper.

"Soul Absorption Technique," "Divine Essence Witch Transformation Skill," "Furnace Transformation Skill."

The three methods correspond to Tier One to Four Wizards; although each is fragmented, they serve as catalysts for Shen Can.

No Tier Five Witchcraft is insignificant; Jinze has relevant cultivation experience breaking into Tier Five.

Shen Can picked up the "Soul Absorption Technique" and began studying it.

One reason for the decline of Martial Dao amongst the Human Race is the chaos in cultivation methods, similar to Jinze’s Witchcraft cultivation, seeking one method per realm.

This is akin to grafting Spirit Trees, growing one segment and grafting another; the resultant fruit is left to chance, could be sweet citrus, or lemon, or even highly toxic.

Next, Shen Can prepared to promote a unified Five Elements Technique in Yongyi, summoning each division’s Ancestral Temple Keeper as preparation for unifying cultivation methods.

Of course, although aimed at unifying cultivation methods, not all tribes within Yongyi would receive them simultaneously; precedence would be given to some over others.

Those with military achievements or actively fighting for the Human Race, like the Four Divisions of the Southern Border, would receive it first.

As long as they aren’t fools, they’d understand the convenience and significance of unified comprehensive Tier One to Five cultivation methods.

Certainly, choosing to stagnate is no issue; while others advance, stagnation assures eventual lagging behind.

[Simulation]

...

[In the seventh year, you practiced the "Soul Absorption Technique," a Witchcraft Technique not belonging to the Human Race, rigorously ten thousand times on the Human Race.

During cultivation, you repeatedly altered the scenes of incompatibility that arose, eventually reshaping the non-compatible parts into the Human Race’s form.]
