Chapter 628 - 254: Tier 5! [Qiu Yue]
The breeze blew past, at the location near the grand array, where threads of source power mist could be seen drifting with the wind.
Deep in the earth, the spiritual light on the primordial vein flashed occasionally, rapidly absorbing the free five elements source power, faint sizzling sounds could almost be heard.
The clan protection array also expanded with the Blazing Flame Spirit Tree, covering an area of thousands of miles.
The reason for casting the grand array was to prevent the transformed five elements source power from leaking out.
At this moment, the source power concentration within the clan land under the array was more than ten times that of the outside world.
Especially near the Celestial Eye, where a Primordial Vein Spirit Eye had formed, Tier Three Martial Artists could cultivate directly there without needing witch medicine pills.
It was the twenty-seventh year since Shen Can began his secluded cultivation.
Without high-tier resources, he could only consume source stones and witch medicine pills daily.
The entire tribe seemed to sustain his cultivation efforts.
Shen Can’s place of closed-door cultivation was not in the ancestral temple, but a small mountain a hundred miles away from it.
Around the small mountain, a forbidden area naturally formed, which birds, beasts, and people within the tribe avoided.
The moon was midway up the sky.
Inside the cave at the mountain peak, Shen Can slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seeming to encompass mountains and rivers, myriad beasts and spirit birds.
An indescribable pressure surged out like ripples, shaking a hundred miles.
At this moment, within his divine treasure, a humanoid stone form emerged.
The flaw was that the humanoid stone form had some beast patterns on it.
The stone form was like a stubborn rock, resembling Shen Can in appearance, yet devoid of any spirit.
As Shen Can raised his hand, he grasped at the void, clutching a strand of five elements source power, assimilating it into his body without feeling a thing.
Indeed, even though the source power in the tribe increased considerably, it was still too thin for him.
A twenty-seven year secluded cultivation marked him as a centenarian ancestor.
Afterward, he stepped out of the grand hall, his steps covering over ten miles at once.
The earth seemed to birth a repulsive force against him, granting him prolonged suspension ability.
Exiting the cultivation cave, Shen Can paused briefly, then heard the roars of beasts.
During these twenty-seven years, although he was in cultivation, he wasn’t completely cut off; he was aware of external events and undertook necessary actions.
For instance, selecting tribe members for cultivation, planning array constructions, none were neglected.
Unlike any martial artist undergoing secluded cultivation, while Shen Can appeared to be secluded, he was fed resources daily by the tribe, effectively hiding away to consume source stones and witch medicine pills.
Beast roars came from the Giant Mountain Range; with increasing source power concentration in the clan land, wild beasts in the mountains were naturally attracted.
However, those attracted were only Tier Two and Three wild beasts, not yet any Tier Four.
Conversely, the tribe utilized this chance to capture many wild beasts, greatly supplementing their meat reserves.
After emerging from seclusion, Shen Can did not return to the ancestral temple but left the clan land silently, heading to the Bi Fang Race Territory.
Indeed, after several decades, the name of Bi Fang Bo Division was long gone, replaced by Bi Fang City.
A guardian city under Blazing Flame Bo Division, belonging to Yongyi Forging Center.
The city was constructed directly on the core volcano of the former Bi Fang Bo Division, situated on the north side of the volcano mouth, adjacent to guarding the Fire Dragon Wall.
Upon Shen Can’s arrival, he saw the towering, massive city from afar.
Bronze-colored walls soared a hundred meters, with rows of witch cannons placed on the city head, glinting coldly.
Three adjacent gates rose fifty meters high, numerous humans entered and exited, hundreds of war soldiers guarded.
Nearby, on vast open ground, stone platforms were constructed for flying ships to dock.
Transport beasts carrying abundant minerals entered the city, and others left bearing weapons.
In just over thirty years, its prosperity far surpassed when Bi Fang existed.
Shen Can’s silhouette soared over the city walls, entering the forging workshop for armor and weapons.
Unlike in Bi Fang’s day when a single person had a small fire lodge, the Fire Dragon Wall guarded volcano mouth had transformed into an integrated workshop.
Numerous high furnaces, witch towers, forging platforms stood, with earth fire drawn from the deepest volcano mouth directly fed into smelting furnaces.
Iron melted from the high furnaces proceeded through the forging process and upon reaching the volcanic mouth outside, a Tier Two Witch Blade was crafted.
This speed previously unmatched by the aging ancestor of Bi Fang Bo Division.
Shen Can took a broad look at the scene within the Bi Fang Workshop, then leaped into the volcano mouth.
Entering the magma, the surrounding heat surged, yet not even his body hairs were scorched.
Soon he saw the Tier Five Divine Flame suspended within the magma.

Possessing spirit, as soon as the divine flame sensed Shen Can, a three-legged bird emerged from the flame, spreading its wings to attack him.
Shen Can raised his hand, gripped the three-legged bird, the blazing fire element power surged into his palm, causing stinging sensations.
He crushed the three-legged bird, then grabbed at the sun-like divine flame, clutching it in his palm.
The divine flame, previously damaging his avatar, was now colliding and emitting cries in Shen Can’s grasp.
Then, his divine sense, like a great blazing river, charged directly at the divine flame.
