I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 159 - 79: Upper Division Blazing Flame! (Part 2)

The night campfire burned brightly, illuminating the dim surroundings.

"Clan Leader Huo."

The tribe leaders gathered around the central campfire. Upon seeing Huo Chang appear, they rose in greeting, their eyes filled with respect and awe.

Such reverence stemmed not only from power but also from the aura and presence that Huo Chang was increasingly gathering.

From a small mountain tribe to an upper-class tribe leader, the tribe was advancing, and as the leader, Huo Chang's momentum was being cultivated step by step.

"Everyone, sit down; here, there is no division between upper and lower tribes."

Huo Chang broke open a jar of wine and poured drinks for the gathered leaders, making everyone rather reserved.

Unsure of what other leaders felt, Cang Hex found the drink quite bitter.

In the moment he lowered and raised his head, his mood had already been adjusted.

"The young tribesmen everyone brought this time can be left directly in the tribe. Those who cannot undergo Witch Cultivation will enter the Martial Hall.

Blazing Flame will provide them with equal training, and the Martial Dao they practice at Blazing Flame can be brought back to teach others.

In the coming long period, the Xiaoyang Race remains the biggest looming threat to our Northern Human Race. Everyone must remain vigilant."

The tribe leaders all agreed. Huo Chang didn't need to elaborate further; their tribes were all outside the forest, and if Xiaoyang Division moved north, they would first pass through their tribes.

For the safety of the tribe, the enhancement of Martial Dao remains the most critical task.

The Blazing Flame Tribe does protect them, but they can't constantly call for aid during scattered skirmishes with Xiaoyang martial artists.

Having witnessed the acknowledged power of the Blazing Flame Tribe, any ambitious tribe leader would aspire for their own tribe to develop like Blazing Flame.

...

After drinking with the tribe leaders, Huo Chang headed towards the Ancestral Temple.

Inside the Ancestral Temple.

Shen Can was still communicating with the Soul Shadow, which had emerged independently from the Sacrificial Spirit.

Unfortunately, this predecessor's Soul Shadow was still muttering subconsciously, hoping to gain a more detailed cultivation process.

But after sensing for a long time, it turned out the predecessor Soul Shadow kept repeating the incomplete technique from before without additional supplements.

Recalling how during the sacrifice, the predecessor's residual soul was triggered by ancient murals and emerged independently from the chaotic mass of residual souls, Shen Can speculated that different predecessor residual souls needed different 'offerings' to be 'stimulated'.

It seems the next step is to search for some mural carvings.

"Acan, still busy?"

Huo Chang entered the Ancestral Temple, carrying wine and meat.

"Can the clan leader sense changes in the Sacrificial Spirit?"

Shen Can asked without turning his head.

Huo Chang put down the wine and meat, washed his hands clean, and dried them before placing both hands on the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron.

After all, he wasn't a true Ancestral Temple Keeper; his Divine Sense was much lower than Shen Can's, so he needed to contact the Sacrificial Artifact to sense the Sacrificial Spirit.

"Why is there an extra predecessor Sacrificial Spirit?"

Quickly, Huo Chang sensed that the number was different.

"This predecessor emerged due to sensing the ancient murals among the tribe offerings during the Great Sacrifice, and then manifested by consuming the tribe's Wish Power and offerings."

"What is the predecessor Sacrificial Spirit muttering about? Is it, a cultivation technique?"

Huo Chang stayed close to the Sacrificial Artifact, trying to communicate with the Sacrificial Spirit. Unfortunately, he could not understand the words clearly, sensing only fragments of what seemed like a cultivation technique.

"Why is it so severely lacking."

Huo Chang showed regret in his eyes; this was completely unusable for cultivation.

Seeing Shen Can's calm demeanor, he immediately thought of the Martial Arts Map obtained by the Upper Huang Division which derived the Kui Thunder Skill.

It didn't matter that he couldn't communicate with the Sacrificial Spirit, Acan could.

"Acan, you said it was due to the stimulation from the tribe offerings that the predecessor Sacrificial Spirit awakened?"

Shen Can nodded, "Accurately, it was the instinct awoken, so it could recite the cultivation technique.

Perhaps even the predecessors didn't realize that the cultivation method ingrained in their hearts was deficient when passed down."

"Can we collect more corresponding items, for further revival of the predecessor Sacrificial Spirit?"

"I'm preparing to try it out, and since this predecessor Sacrificial Spirit was awakened by the ancient murals, collecting more items might help find the awakening items of other dormant Sacrificial Spirits."

Upon hearing this, Huo Chang nodded, "Alright, tomorrow I'll instruct the tribe to collect ancient murals and various objects."

After speaking, he placed his hands on the Sacrificial Artifact again.

After some attempts, he still couldn't clearly hear what the predecessor Sacrificial Spirit was saying.

Then, they set up a table inside the Ancestral Temple and drank together.

"Acan, during the sacrifice at the Ancestral Temple, I announced we would pass on the Martial Dao to the tribes. How about passing down our tribe's Kui Ox Fist?"

"Sure."

Shen Can nodded; he now possessed the Five Desolates True Beast Stake, and the Kui Ox Fist had fallen out of favor.

"Then what grade of Kui Ox Fist shall we pass down, let's discuss it."

Huo Chang continued, "I have already investigated the Quenching Techniques of the various tribes.

Apart from a few tribes like Cyan Bird Division, most are cultivating Quenching Techniques similar to the non-grade Kui Ox Fist we practiced in the beginning."

"The Quenching Techniques of a few tribes like Cyan Bird Division are somewhat better, but still, only range between Lower Grade and Middle Grade, with significant drawbacks."

Shen Can pondered for a moment and said, "If they mostly have inferior Quenching Techniques, even giving them Lower Grade Kui Ox Fist for cultivation, it can quickly make them perceive an improvement in quenching strength."

"Didn't our second group of subjects cultivate the Middle Grade Kui Ox Fist? Tomorrow, let's have the Martial Hall instructors go to various settlements and start re-teaching the Top-Grade Kui Ox Fist."

"This way, the tribes in the Zhushui Alliance can receive the Middle Grade one, while the newly affiliated tribes in the Sacrifice Alliance get the Lower Grade."
