Chapter 381: Chapter 164: Will You Go to the Ancestral Land? The Many Divine Techniques Left by the Elders

Shen Can had begun to understand.

The Ancestral Land was quite challenging; they lacked the ability to create new laws and dared not abandon the old ones, stubbornly holding on, waiting for the day when somewhere, the Human Race might rise again after the great disaster.

To say they were stubbornly holding on wasn’t entirely accurate; the Ancestral Land must also be trying to find ways, but resources were limited, especially while enduring the oppression of the Mountain and Sea Alien Race.

"Can the people of the Ancestral Land withstand beastification?"

After a long while, Shen Can asked another question.

"Beastification?"

The old man spoke, "When you face the Alien Race every day as soon as you open your eyes, you might realize that maybe beastification isn’t so bad; at least it gives you the strength to fight."

"Our Human Race has a strong ability to reproduce, and amidst this Mountain and Sea Wilderness, there are many alien races that have directly domesticated the Human Race, treating them as their granary.

Just like the wheat and millet sown by the tribesmen, once harvested, leave behind some seeds, and in a few years, a new crop will grow again.

Like Witch Medicine, when the Alien Race domesticates the Human Race, they also allow the human beings to cultivate, and those with great talent and strength among the Human Race are considered top-grade food by the Alien Race."

In an instant.

Shen Can shivered mightily, could Marquis Yongshan have been caught and eaten?

"Um... dare I ask, old brother, is our region a domestication area for some alien race?"

"Currently, I’m not sure; this place is too remote. I only came here following the Golden Crow.

There are countless Great Wilderness Aliens; some alien races might only originate from specific places, with populations of just thousands or even hundreds, but each one is born with Innate Spiritual Light, incredibly powerful.

There are even strong beings among some powerful alien races that wander the Great Wilderness, looking for their prey."

The elder fell silent.

Although he told Shen Can that the Ancestral Land couldn’t care for scattered people, the Ancestral Land had repeatedly tried over the years to send out Martial Dao Firekeepers in all directions.

Even though the old Martial Dao had many flaws, it could at least re-establish Martial Dao in disaster-stricken scattered lands, resulting in the emergence of some Martial Dao experts.

The minimum qualification for Firekeepers going abroad to re-teach Martial Dao was Tier Four Divine Treasure, with occasional appearances of Tier Six Firekeepers.

But the results weren’t good; Tier Four Divine Treasure couldn’t travel far and could only stay nearby.

Tier Six could travel slightly farther, but Tier Six Martial Artists were already the peak force of the Ancestral Land, so there was no way to dispatch more.

All areas of the Ancestral Land needed overseeing, and even re-teaching Martial Dao had to be within range of the Ancestral Land’s capabilities.

As for Shen Can’s location, it was really too remote.

No matter how many Firekeepers the Ancestral Land dispatched, it would likely be difficult to reach Shen Can’s place.

Therefore, the Ancestral Land later changed its strategy, no longer sending Firekeepers to remote scattered lands but teaching Martial Dao to the Human Race territories closer to the Clan Land, gradually expanding the Ancestral Land’s range.

The effect was somewhat noticeable.

As for why he was able to come here, it was because he borrowed the might of the Golden Crow and Kuafu.

Otherwise, if he had crossed the Great Wilderness alone, he might have inadvertently trespassed into the territory of some powerful alien race and been besieged.

Every once in a long while, the Golden Crow Race would gather at Yang Valley by the East Sea, where the only Fusang Divine Wood in the Mountain and Sea Wilderness grows.

It is said that the Golden Crow Race was nurtured from the flames that fell from the Great Sun onto the Fusang Divine Wood.

The reason the Golden Crow leaves Yang Valley is primarily for hunting.

They are too powerful as Innate Spiritual Seeds, reaching Tier Four at birth and Tier Six or Seven upon maturity.

The Golden Crow Emperor who guards the Fusang Divine Wood is even Tier Nine.

Relying solely on the East Sea’s shores is far from enough to suffice their living and hunting needs.

Hence, upon receiving the summons from the Ancestral Land, they returned from all over the Great Wilderness.

After the Great Sacrifice, they split into different numbers and went hunting everywhere.

Fortunately, the number of Golden Crows is not too many, and the Great Wilderness is so vast that many places haven’t seen a Golden Crow in thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

By chance this time, a group of the Golden Crow Race passed through the Southern Wilderness, and it’s unknown why they were followed by a group of the Kuafu Race.

Because of the disputes between the Golden Crow and Kuafu, he managed to follow the trail across numerous alien territories.

Compared to races rooted on the earth, the Golden Crow is truly a race of giants, belonging to the legendary disaster beasts.

Even the Aoyin and Xiaoyang Kingdom must yield.

The passage of the Golden Crow is considered to have brought a natural disaster.

This time, using the Golden Crow’s power, he traversed many regions of the Southern Wilderness, aiming to see what the Human Race scattered in the vast wilderness was like.

Unfortunately, along the way, the old man felt heartache and couldn’t stop feeling the urge to kill.

After each Human Race region he passed, he left a Halberd Mark inheritance, hoping to see if anyone could activate the mark he left.

But unfortunately, along the way, the only one capable of activating his mark turned out to be Shen Can.

And at this moment, he was still on the way with the Golden Crow heading to the East Sea’s shores, where the Golden Crow and Kuafu were fighting back and forth, traveling in fits and starts.

...

Outside of the Halberd Mark, everything was quiet.

After a long while, the elder spoke, "Your ability to trigger the mark I left proves your talent, which barely counts as above average in the Ancestral Land.

If you can further comprehend the method within the mark I left, if you’re lucky, I might be able to give you a chance to go to the Ancestral Land."

"To go to the Ancestral Land?"

Shen Can thought for a moment and found it somewhat unreliable; this esteemed elder had said he had come by following the Golden Crow.

It was impossible to wait for the Golden Crow to return and then follow back, right?
