Chapter 398: Chapter 171: 5-Year Beastification Plan Completed (Part 2)

It’s a pity that the leftover scraps of this source stone vein are still somewhat weak for him.

Ninety-nine percent of the source stones excavated, regardless of their size, lack even lower-grade source stone energy.

No wonder the desolate beast lord, Black-haired Hound, has lost interest in the valley’s vein.

For a Tier Four desolate beast lord, this vein isn’t even worth considering.

But for Shen Can, it’s just right.

Night falls.

A basket of crystal-clear source stones is sent into the cave where Shen Can temporarily rests.

As Shen Can opens his mouth, a stream of colorful light swirls from the basket into his mouth.

After the celestial vein power flows in and circulates through his body, it surges into his bones, flesh, and divine treasure.

Meanwhile, tribesmen resting in various caves are also grabbing some source stones to cultivate.

However, the mixed attributes of the source stones in this place are not friendly to tribesmen who have only cultivated a single Five Pillars Skill followed by the celestial vein technique.

But with the source stone right in front of them, not cultivating is simply a waste of time.

Therefore, upon noticing this issue, Shen Can passed on the corresponding celestial vein techniques for the other Five Pillars Skills to the tribesmen.

For example, those cultivating the Fire Ape Skill also cultivate a bit of the Wood Bird Skill, while those cultivating the Kui Ox Skill also cultivate a bit of the Profound Tiger True Refining.

This also aligns with the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique he’s been developing all along.

As for whether there would be issues with tribesmen’s cultivation, all are stuck before divine treasure, destined to only cultivate to the celestial vein ninth layer, almost unable to reach divine treasure.

In this situation, whether it’s the desolate beast battle body or dual cultivation of other techniques, it’s all to enhance combat power.

As for whether there would be changes within, even if the beast pattern on the bones increases, it’s still celestial vein, not causing much disturbance.

In an instant, over fifty tribesmen in the valley gradually started dual cultivating other five elements techniques.

Long before, when they were told to cultivate the desolate beast battle body, they already understood their position.

Using every possible means to enhance battle power, gaining their strongest combat power.

If they can reach quasi-god treasure level, they’d make a huge profit in this lifetime.

Ancestral Temple Keeper instructs, they comply.

Having initially adapted to the dual cultivation techniques, everyone found their cultivation speed reliably enhanced, though not an astonishing transformation, but certainly a substantial improvement.

In this situation, some began attempting to cultivate three techniques, but most focused on one that mutually generated with their primary technique.

...

A year and a half later.

Dragon Horn and Golden Sword return from scouting.

Acting with the body of a desolate beast in the Giant Mountain Range is indeed much more convenient.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, we have news."

Although Shen Can subdued two desolate beasts, he didn’t make them acknowledge him as master like the Tuo Lord.

Instead, he intends to bring them back to the tribe, binding them to the Blazing Flame Tribe.

Desolate beasts with potential to advance to Tier Four, if they can produce offspring bloodlines in the future, there’s a high chance their offspring will also achieve Tier Four.

Like the Cyan Simurgh Race, this generation binds to the tribe, forming a symbiotic relationship with the Blazing Flame Tribe for generations to come.

This idea was inspired by the Little Spirit Race; the Blazing Flame shouldn’t be confined to the human race, especially with tribesmen cultivating beastification; it needs a symbiotic relationship with desolate beasts and the Spirit Race.

"Treasure Blood has indeed been obtained by the Chi Tiger, but it can’t refine it yet; it’s being watched by another powerful bloodline, the Jade Flame Suanni."

"The Jade Flame Suanni doesn’t give Chi Tiger the chance to refine Treasure Blood; the two lords have been confronting each other at a Giant Peak thirty thousand miles away, having clashed multiple times over the year, yet neither can defeat the other."

"Other lord-level desolate beasts have appeared nearby, we dare not approach."

"The skull of the Black-haired Hound is displayed on a cliff of that mountain."

...

Below the Giant Peak Mountain, dragon roars and lion hounds clash; water and fire collide.

The collision between two Tier Four desolate beasts emits a stifling aura, enveloping the surrounding forests in silence.

The two desolate beasts clash, sometimes rushing up the mountain, sometimes diving into the river gorge, accompanied by water and fire producing shrill collision sounds across the mountains.

Both desolate beasts exceed thirty zhang in size, one standing over clouds and wind, tiger head and dragon tail, a three-foot jade horn on its head, and tiger eyes emitting fierce energy.

The other, entirely jade green, stepping on jade-colored flames, its path igniting mountain fires.

Fighting from mountain top to underground, they do not forget to strike each other amidst rolling clashes, exuding terrifying destructive energy.

As they fight and move, whenever pushed a thousand miles away, Chi Tiger always returns near the Giant Peak.

"Roar!"

Chi Tiger kicks away the Jade Flame Suanni, angrily roaring like a dragon as threads of water dragons erupt from its body, resonating with dragon cries.

Opposite, the Jade Flame Suanni doesn’t relent, its hooves tapping lightly as fierce flames burst forth, fiercely assaulting Chi Tiger.

In an instant, the two desolate beasts collide violently again, as if two small mountains clashing mid-air, water and fire erupted, force waves surged.

The surrounding forests have long been in ruins, fragments scattered everywhere.

...

Shen Can, after just a glance at the battling beasts, knows he must first retreat to a distance.

These two beasts’ combat strength probably parallels late-stage divine treasure.

He can contend with one, but definitely shouldn’t provoke both.

No wonder no other desolate beasts dare approach; these are indeed mighty local tyrants.

Strong bloodlines, strong power, it’s a match of equals.

It’s peculiar that Chi Tiger, having secured Treasure Blood, doesn’t directly flee but rather lurks at the Giant Peak instead.

A nest shouldn’t be so crucial for a desolate beast.

Watching as the panting Chi Tiger returns to the mountain top, licking the skull of the Black-haired Hound.

The Black-haired Hound’s skull, larger than a millstone, scraped by its densely spiked tongue, red and raw.

The Jade Flame Suanni also halted beside, staring at Chi Tiger.

At any sign of Chi Tiger refining Treasure Blood, it would act.

Observing, Shen Can conceals his presence effortlessly.

Wait, see how long these two beasts can keep clashing.

In his view, this situation is somewhat abnormal.

Unexpectedly this wait extends year by year.

The two beasts periodically clash, unable to conquer one another, even jointly dismembered and consumed a prying Thunderbird, splitting it evenly.

...

Source Stone Valley.

After more than three years of excavation, screening the land three times in succession finally cleared the remaining source stones in this place.

In three years, five out of over fifty tribesmen reached the celestial vein ninth layer, while the rest achieved varying degrees of improvement.

Despite dual cultivation and ample source stone supply, why only five attained the celestial vein ninth layer primarily because for many tribesmen, no matter continued cultivation, their advancement seems stuck.

Thankfully, supported by the desolate beast battle body, those not reaching the celestial vein ninth layer achieved ninth layer combat power in beastification.

With increased power, naturally commenced further resource scouring in the mountains, preparing to return to the tribe.

Meanwhile, Shen Can practices in seclusion, having all remaining source stones and gathered witch medicines in his possession, planning to break through to mid-stage divine treasure power at once.

Having led the tribesmen into the Giant Peak Mountain Range, it has now been approximately four years.

Constantly connected with Huo Chang through his split-self, Shen Can remains updated on the tribe’s situation.

Due to this, Huo Chang rests assured.

During these years, the tribe has not been idle, having advanced the middle-aged generational cultivation plans for the desolate beast battle body ahead of schedule.

Including other teams sent into the Giant Peak Mountain Range earlier, they’ve also gradually returned to the tribe over these years, practicing the desolate beast battle body.

Excluding those affected by beastification erosion and some in unstable conditions.

Aside from the tribesmen entering the mountains with Shen Can, among the remaining tribesmen within the tribe, in war body state with celestial vein ninth layer combat power, it instantly rose to a hundred and thirty-seven.

In terms of the number with celestial vein ninth layer combat power, the Blazing Flame Tribe has caught up with the Human Race Bo Division of Ji Land and Luo Region.
