I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

When Shen Can ascended to the late-stage Divine Treasure, the Blazing Flame Bo Division here also received the clan letter from the Yanran Bo Division.

The Yanran Bo Division, along with a portion of its vassal tribes, more accurately, after completely annexing them as clan members, migrated southward with the entire clan.

The Qiu Yue Bo Division, which was initially allied through marriage, was taken care of by the Yanran Bo Division over all these decades.

Northeast of Ji Land, it had already become a sparsely populated area since Xiaoyang was still around.

Now, with the Yanran Bo Division migrating as a whole from the northwestern region of Ji Land, it left only the Blazing Flame Bo Division suspended lonelily on the border of Yongyi within thousands of miles in the northern Ji Lands.

Meanwhile, the Jishan Bo Division stood firmly in the southwestern direction of Ji Land, separated by thousands of miles of mountains and wilderness between the two clans.

With the Yanran Bo Division’s relocation, the Blazing Flame Bo Division soon made its moves.

Although the northern Ji region is vast and sparsely populated, to leave such an expansive area unattended would indeed be a waste.

Very soon, Huo Qii, Huo Kui, Huo Yui, and Huo Zhan were appointed to guard, each leading a portion of clan soldiers southward to occupy these places.

Back when Xiaoyang was around, to subdue the territories occupied by the Human Race, he had chosen the Ruins Markets of Jinyang Mountain, Heyang, Yang Mountain, and Yin Yue Mountain as the core areas of defense.

Sends clan soldiers to guard at these four locations, relying on convenient water transport to extend Xiaoyang’s martial influence over surrounding regions.

At the time, Xiaoyang chose these four spots because of convenient water sources, surrounded by flat wilderness, suitable for farming.

With Yanran migrating, the vacuum zone in the north of Ji Land coincided significantly with the territories Xiaoyang once occupied by migrating southward.

This situation allowed Blazing Flame to expand the influence of the Blazing Flame Bo Division using Xiaoyang’s method, relying on these four Ruins Market cities.

The task of the four guardians was to rely on their respective cities to gather scattered divisions and refugees, cultivate lands, integrating people under the jurisdiction of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

As for whether these tribes scattered across the northern Ji land would abide by the Blazing Flame Bo Division, that’s no concern; in the end, this world still speaks through martial power.

When Shen Can emerged from seclusion, he saw the letter written to him by the leader of the Yanran Race.

He was already aware of Yanran’s southward movement.

Yann Wanyun felt there was no development potential in the Northern Lands and also had such a powerful neighbor like Blazing Flame, thus led the clan division to stir things up in the Luo and Qing regions.

After reading Yann Wanyun’s letter completely, Shen Can lightly shook his head.

Running to the Luo Region, yet it’s not far, can he escape?

With Yanran leaving, no Bo Division existed in northern Ji anymore, and the Blazing Flame Bo Division controlled a territory extending southwards for ten thousand miles overnight.

Shen Can also agreed on the matter of assigning clan members to be guardians.

With such a vast area, along with many scattered small tribes, if Blazing Flame doesn’t claim it, sooner or later, other powers will emerge, or will be overtaken by other forces.

Once Blazing Flame occupies it, and shelters these small tribes to thrive, collecting food, minerals, what a benefit.

By then, promoting Blazing Flame Bo Division’s literacy and cultivation system, these vassal tribes would become part of Blazing Flame.

Early morning, at the Ancestral Temple.

After cleaning the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can walked out slowly; the sky was yet to brighten.

Overlooking the clan lands in all directions, some places still had sporadic Witch Ban flashes.

Seeing these Witch Bans, Shen Can suddenly felt a touch of insight.

"Five Elements, Martial Dao, Witchcraft, different paths converge."

After reciting this in his heart, he suddenly had a new idea about developing the Basic Refining Technique.

Previously, he spent a total of eighty-nine thousand six hundred years of lifespan deducing thirteen thousand types of moves, none of which met his expectations.

For this reason, his thoughts roamed the Giant Mountain Range, comprehending the Power of the Five Elements to assist the basic refining technique pondering.

Then, Shen Can sat down cross-legged, starting to continue deduction.

Nearly ninety thousand years of lifespan invested, giving rise to countless combinations of moves in his mind.

[You invest a thousand-year lifespan to contemplate, this time focusing on basic Five Elements Witch Runes for deduction.

Five Elements Witch Runes are foundations of invoking the Power of the Five Elements, a manifestation of Heaven and Earth Five Elements power.

The manifestation methods of Heaven and Earth Five Elements power, not limited to Five Elements Witch Runes alone.

The Beast Patterns on a Wild Beast, are manifestations of the beast’s own strength, bloodline, including the mastery of Five Elements found in Wild Beasts by themselves.

At this moment, you suddenly perceive that the Human Race observes Wild Beasts practicing martial arts and witchcraft essentially to use the Wild Beast as a medium, thereby contemplating Five Elements.

Just like the Beast Patterns on you, mastering Water Element through Kui Ox Pattern, mastering Fire Element through Fire Ape Pattern...

Thus, you list Five Elements Beast Patterns belonging to the Wild Beast, along with the moves deduced over the years.

Starting to attempt aligning the previously deduced moves with Five Elements Beast Patterns]

As moves are matched to corresponding Five Elements Beast Patterns, the little man within the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron inside Shen Can began rising from the sitting posture, initiating the beginning stance of executing moves.

The little man incessantly practiced, gradually, each practice session, the body movement transforms and aligns increasingly closer to the Five Elements Beast Patterns.

...

Three days later.

Shen Can, seated outside the Ancestral Temple, slowly opened his eyes, the unprecedented insight finally concluded.

The Basic Refining Technique was accomplished.

This technique abandoned previous observations of Wild Beasts, directly began learning from Five Elements Beast Patterns carried by Wild Beasts.

During the cultivation process, this refining technique mobilized the momentum surrounding the body, sketching the form corresponding to Five Elements Beast Patterns.
