I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Blazing Flame Division.

Before Lord Jishan had even arrived, Huo Shan was already waiting at the edge of the Great Array.

As agreed, on the first day of each month, Huo Shan would wait here.

This time, he finally received the guest.

"Elder Jishan."

"Clan Leader Huo."

Upon Jishan’s arrival, he immediately sensed the aura of Huo Shan advancing to the Mid-stage Divine Treasure.

There was no helping it; the injuries from the breakthrough hadn’t completely healed.

Even so, Jishan felt somewhat astonished, thinking to himself that this junior had caught up with him.

Huo Shan led Lord Jishan towards the clan’s interior.

Aboard the flying ship, Lord Jishan said, "Since the last conversation with your Ancestral Temple Keeper, I’ve been wandering outside the clan.

I didn’t expect your division to repel the allied forces led by those birdmen in such a short time.

Not long ago, the Lord of the Bi Fang Bo Division came to my clan’s land looking for me, seemingly wanting me to mediate and discuss peace with your division."

Upon hearing this, Huo Shan chuckled coldly.

Isn’t it a bit late to be seeking peace?

Among the major Bo Divisions, Bi Fang is the closest. As soon as there’s an opportunity to go out, Bi Fang would be the first to be dealt with.

"The Ancestral Temple Keeper is currently in seclusion."

Huo Shan asked, "Elder Jishan, may I ask about the current situation of the other tribes in Yongyi?"

Although the Blazing Flame Bo Division has clansmen outside, their strength hasn’t reached the level of the Divine Treasure Realm.

Therefore, even if they obtain information, they can’t send it back to the tribe.

"The great war is happening inside the Giant Mountain, so the information isn’t widespread.

I visited the Cyan Sheep and Celestial Monster tribes. From the outside, there hasn’t been much change, so they must have blocked the information."

...

"It’s still early, Elder, please rest first."

After an exchange, Huo Shan led Lord Jishan to settle down within the clan and then returned to the Clan Hall to summon Elder Huo Jia.

"Tonight, I want to host a banquet for Elder Jishan, make the arrangements."

"By the way, see if Race Leader Yan is cultivating. If not, invite him as well."

After Huo Jia left, Huo Shan walked out of the Clan Hall, glancing at the sky without seeing any monitoring Holy Envoy Race members.

He summoned a flying ship, entering a dense forest.

The entire forest consisted of Spirit Trees over fifty meters tall, with intertwined branches forming a canopy spanning over ten miles.

Under the shade, over a hundred figures were practicing Battle Arrays, and even the smallest figure had wings spanning over three meters.

These were clansmen practicing the Cyan Simurgh Battle Body with the Wood Attribute.

Upon entering, Huo Shan didn’t disturb these cultivating clansmen.

The Holy Envoy Race can indeed fly, but clansmen practicing the Cyan Simurgh Battle Body from the Blazing Flame Division can also fly, albeit not as fast as the Holy Envoy Race.

Currently, this group of clansmen is practicing the Battle Array Technique based on the Cyan Simurgh. The improved Battle Array Technique can gather thirty-six to form a clan Battle Array.

Previously, the Yanran Division could gather four Elders to possess combat power capable of countering Divine Treasure Realm.

However, with the improved Battle Array, thirty-six Celestial Vein Ninth Layer clansmen practicing the Cyan Simurgh Battle Body, if operated correctly, are enough to annihilate a Martial Artist at the Early-stage Divine Treasure with one strike.

Having seen many of the methods of the old Huo Chang, when Huo Shan had free time, he’d ponder how Huo Chang would handle such matters.

As he thought, he arranged for clansmen practicing the Cyan Simurgh Battle Body to train together, forming three teams of Battle Arrays, intending to ambush the Holy Envoy Race flying outside given the chance.

Even if they couldn’t kill those at the Peak of Divine Treasure, there was a high chance to play with the Early-stage Divine Treasure.

"Continue practicing, aim for a one-hit kill. Strike decisively, you only have one chance."

After inspecting the clansmen’s cultivation, Huo Shan didn’t idle and began inspecting the Great Array.

Though it’s unlikely for the Great Array to have issues, he still personally patrolled it daily.

"Clan Leader."

"Clan Leader."

The small flying ship soared over the clan lands, and the busy clanspeople looked up to greet him.

"Hey, the Clan Leader is becoming more like the old Clan Leader, look at how he carries his hands, the more you see, the more alike."

...

Huo Shan had heard this many times and felt rather proud of it.

He understood well; mastering even eighty percent, no, seventy percent of Huo Chang’s skills was good enough. Such discussions among clanspeople only validated his growing resemblance to Huo Chang.

He was pleased.

After rounding the Great Array, Huo Shan arrived at the Five Elements Spiritual Land, where flames roared within the Fire Spirit Land, and the High Furnace continued swallowing and refining molten lava.

"Azhong, can it be done?"

Huo Shan saw a group of wizards gathered on the open ground outside the group of High Furnaces, constructing an even larger High Furnace alongside clanspeople.

Leading them were Huo Chong and Huo Fu, accompanied by dozens of Tier Two and Tier Three Wizards, each drenched in sweat from the heat waves.

Huo Chong was in charge of assembling the High Furnace, while Huo Fu was engraving Witch Runes with his disciples during the construction.

Huo Shan pulled out a Jade Scroll named "How to Be a Good Clan Leader," his "diary."

The clan duties reported by the elders, various internal matters, were all recorded in it to prevent him from forgetting.

The tasks Huo Chong and Huo Fu were working on had been informed to him days ago, so now he subconsciously checked his diary.

This Tier Four High Furnace was specifically constructed for building battleships.

With higher temperatures, it could refine alloys of various ores, with one batch of molten iron meeting the material needs of an entire battleship.

This prevented any material discrepancies during the construction of different parts of the battleship.

Moreover, it also prepared for the repair of the Tier Five Wind and Thunder Flying Ship.

The clan had already researched it; the internal damage of that Tier Five Flying Ship was severe, requiring numerous high-tier materials for repair.
