I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Shen Can naturally knew about the events in Yongyi, and he didn’t expect Xiang Liu to actually come to deliver meals.

After all, with the strength of a Tier Five Beast King, escaping would have been easy.

Yet, it was still beaten to death, which meant that the timing, location, and people were all on the side of the Human Race, and Xiang Liu was truly at the end of its days.

At this moment, Shen Can was almost reaching the far east of the Giant Mountain Range.

The Giant Mountain Range spanned east to west on the land, with mountains undulating and primitive, desolate wilderness exuding its fragrance.

Standing atop a Giant Peak Mountain, towering eight thousand zhang high, Shen Can gazed into the distance.

This was the highest mountain at the easternmost part of the Giant Mountain Range, and further east, although there were still many undulating mountains, none surpassed eight thousand zhang.

At the end of the eastern mountains lay a plain that seemed to stretch beyond the horizon, reaching the very limits of the heavens and earth.

The Red Fire Luwu subconsciously lifted its hind leg, revealing a scar about a foot long under the scales and fur on the outside of one of its hind legs.

Shen Can naturally noticed this slight movement of Luwu.

"Back when I had just advanced to Tier Five, I was very ambitious and took my first step east of the Giant Mountain Range.

Here, I encountered a race covered in dazzling golden light, so tall they almost captured me."

Even after a thousand years, upon revisiting this place, Luwu still found it hard to forget this incident.

For many years, it subconsciously avoided coming to the far east of the mountains.

The Red Fire Luwu was invited by Shen Can to come, because in an unfamiliar place, the safety of two Tier Fives together was also higher.

After surveying the surroundings, Shen Can began to lead the Kui Spirit to explore along the mountains.

"No feeling."

"Nothing."

"No sensing."

...

"Nothing."

Throughout the endless mountains and valleys, Shen Can didn’t miss a single spot, navigating the Flying Ship back and forth while slowing down to allow the Kui Spirit to sense.

The Kui Drum was placed at the bow, the Kui Spirit sat atop it, its profound light shining, occasionally muttering to itself.

After making a large circle, the Kui Spirit still hadn’t sensed anything, causing Shen Can to doubt whether he might have passed the area, considering the vastness of this eastern region which was only filled with low mountains.

The Profound Bird, as a Tier Seven Saint Spirit, would have certainly selected a more majestic place for its clan land.

Of course, it is also possible it resides within an isolated small world, but no searching has allowed the Kui Spirit to detect even the slightest hint.

Shen Can did not rush, steering the Flying Ship back the way he came, acknowledging that although he tried sensing along the way, there were many places not fully explored.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

"No, I can’t sense Mom anywhere!"

The Kui Spirit felt a bit dejected, its little mouth pouting.

Over a year’s time, Shen Can navigated millions of square meters of mountain terrain, practically covering the eastern mountain slopes of the Giant Mountain Range.

The lack of discoveries didn’t bring disappointment.

If it had been found easily upon arrival, then the Profound Bird would be no real concern.

An injured Profound Bird hiding was perfectly normal, even Tier Seven great beings lacked resources.

For the current Blazing Flame, the Giant Mountain Range was too vast, but for Tier Seven beings, it was merely a small hidden corner.

Encountering a wounded Tier Seven creature was equivalent to a celebration.

The Profound Bird was always evading other Tier Sevens.

"Let’s head east."

Failing to find it on the eastern edge of the Giant Mountain Range, Shen Can steered the Flying Ship eastward, hoping to get lucky.

On the Flying Ship, Luwu snored heavily, unable to assist in what Shen Can was doing but ready to act if called upon.

Heading directly east out of the Giant Mountain, the hills slowly decreased until entering a vast plain, arriving at the land of the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom.

In the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, the Pu Race ruled supreme.

The Pu Race, resembling beings with bodies akin to stone, appeared in gray, brown, and other stone-like colors.

Here, other races served as vassals to the Pu Race.

Shen Can ventured into the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, considering if the Profound Bird was indeed powerful back in the day, it would have surely left traces, given the Proximity of the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom to the Giant Mountain Range.

Perhaps after suffering severe injuries, the Profound Bird fled and hid elsewhere.

Since they were already there, it was worth searching around.

...

Among low mountains, verdant with flora, several figures moved through the woods, heading toward the mountain’s edge.

Some carried wounded tribe members, others scattered around as scouts.

Zhong Shao, clad in worn armor, wielded a Witch Blade with several nicks.

"Quickly, nightfall is near; we must leave the forest quickly to be safe."

Upon hearing Zhong Shao’s call, the group quickened their pace.

Despite eager to hurry, the dense underbrush and hidden insects hindered their way considerably.

Heavy beast roars resounded from afar, increasing the group’s tension.

Thankfully, without incident, the group broke through the forest at dusk, entering a more level expanse of the plain.

Zhong Shao retrieved a Copper Ocarina from his bosom and began to play, its resonant sound spreading far and wide.

Wuuu-wuu!

Soon after, the sound of another Copper Ocarina echoed from the distance.

Recognizing the similar sound, Zhong Shao led the group hastily toward it.

"Zhong Shao, brother, you’re finally back!"

Within half a li, Zhong Shao and his group met up with a welcoming martial artist.

"Ayue, why are you the one receiving us here?"

"Have others returned?"

"Were there many injuries?"

Seeing Ayue, Zhong Shao immediately asked three questions in one breath.
