I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 258 - 115: The Path to Tier 4, Huo Chang Heads South
Yet even such techniques have so many repair marks, clearly showing the severity of martial arts discontinuity.
This shows that the difficulty of cultivating the Divine Treasure Realm is predestined from the cultivation process of the Quenching Technique and the Celestial Vein Technique.
The Bo Divisions in Ji Land, which had passed down for two or three generations, likely didn’t continue passing down because their ancestral graves ran out of luck.
The emergence of every Divine Treasure is filled with luck and chance.
After one or two generations, when the luck runs out, they fall from being a Bo Division.
This kind of chance-based progression is not what Shen Can desires.
What he wants is a stable kind of inheritance, like the Jishan Bo Division, like those other Bo Divisions in Yongyi with long-standing traditions, a way of progression that can stably pass down through generations.
With these cultivation technique scrolls all collected into the Witch Pouch, Shen Can had a plan in mind.
The Blood Dragon’s Hideaway Technique given by the middle-aged senior is insufficient to assist him in further deductions; he needs more reference techniques.
He does not have a technique to break through the Divine Treasure, but people in Ji Land do.
Jishan is untouchable, but those declining Bo Divisions that lost their Divine Treasure Martial Artists, he can still seek their guidance.
Even if they are all chance-based advancement techniques, if there are enough of them, they can provide him with sufficient reference for deduction.
Currently, the Five Beasts Returning to Truth Skill that Shen Can cultivates, along with the subsequent techniques of the Five Pillars Skill that other martial artists of the Blazing Flame Tribe cultivate, all originate from the Yongshan Bo Division.
In this way, finding the Divine Storage Technique of the Yongshan Bo Division is the most suitable.
Even if not cultivated, its reference value is stronger than other techniques that open Divine Treasures.
Regrettably, the Yongshan Bo Division has long been completely divided up, making it very hard to find.
...
On the west bank of the Guimu River, Shen Can came ashore from the water, his figure blending into the forest.
Two days later.
"Chirp."
A low call of a Cyan Simurgh resounded.
"Ancestral Temple Keeper, the Clan Leader is here."
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Can did not panic and asked, "What happened?"
"I don’t know, the Clan Leader is stationed at the Three Fire Division."
The reporting clan soldier thought for a while and added, "Also, not long ago, someone was asking around about flying birds, so we are traveling at night now, hiding in the forest during the day without contacting people."
...
A few days later, in the mountains a hundred miles outside the Three Fire Division.
In the mountains, there was still a lingering bloody smell, and some scattered Xiaoyang bones could be seen.
In the wilderness, many clan soldiers of the Three Fire Tribe were patrolling the mountains, searching for remnants of Xiaoyang soldiers.
In an inconspicuous cave, Shen Can walked in slowly.
Inside the cave, Huo Chang was sitting cross-legged cultivating. At the moment Shen Can entered, Huo Chang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Acan."
After looking Shen Can up and down and seeing that he wasn’t injured, Huo Chang only then was relieved.
"The Clan Leader’s martial arts have advanced significantly."
Feeling the gathered blood energy on Huo Chang, Shen Can immediately sensed that Huo Chang had advanced to the Celestial Vein Eighth Layer.
This is impressive, considering Huo Chang didn’t have strong foundations when advancing the Celestial Vein.
Huo Chang said, "I went to the Yongshan Ruins again."
As he spoke, Huo Chang took out the Witchcraft Seal of ’Imperial Decree Commander.’
"Moreover, the Source Stone brought by that Young Master Luo Feng at the time, along with gathered witch medicine and so forth, I consumed resources worth at least five times that of the same tier."
Upon hearing this, Shen Can frowned.
It’s not that he minded Huo Chang spending many resources; five times is nothing. As the Blazing Flame Race Leader, even ten times, fifty times are not a problem.
A clan leader must have a martial arts realm that matches the position.
Established upper-class tribes usually have clan leaders in the Celestial Vein Ninth Layer.
Subsequently, Shen Can’s Divine Sense entered Huo Chang’s body.
Huo Chang’s body first tensed a bit, then relaxed, allowing Shen Can to examine his Celestial Vein.
Within Huo Chang’s body, eight Celestial Veins were blazing with crimson flames, and the water blood qi initially formed from cultivating the Kui Ox Fist of the Blazing Flame Tribe was nowhere in sight.
Now, it has completely transformed into fire blood qi, blazing intensely hot.
On the Celestial Vein Wall, cracks crisscrossed, layers upon layers, with one crack even running across the entire Celestial Vein.
The scorching blood qi repeatedly rushed through the Celestial Vein; let alone repairing the Celestial Vein, it was fortunate if it didn’t deepen the training scars.
It could be said that there is a constant prickling pain in the Celestial Vein at all times.
Huo Chang was quite calm, "In these days in the tribe, I have read most of the collections in the Clan Collection Hall.
I have seen the difficulties of martial arts cultivation, and with my foundations, I shouldn’t even think about progressing to the Divine Treasure.
Yet I am not ready to step down from the position of clan leader now, so I have to come up with some trick."
Saying this, Huo Chang spread his hands.
"Look, isn’t this quite good?"
"Who would have thought that a little Celestial Vein from a wild mountain tribe, only struggling to survive in the face of natural disasters, could cultivate to the Celestial Vein Eighth Layer!"
Then, Huo Chang picked up a knife wrapped in animal hide from the ground and handed it to Shen Can.
This knife was very long, six feet in length.
After Shen Can unwrapped the animal hide, he found that the knife handle had a ring, and the blade was styled as a large chopping knife.
The surface had multiple forge patterns, with red flames patterns along the lines, curving into a red ape.
"This was also brought out from the Yongshan Ruins, the knife has monkey patterns on it, I feel its compatibility with my current cultivation technique is very high."
"Have any others in the clan gone?"
"No, I haven’t let them go for now; I feel there is no small opportunity in the Yongshan Ruins, and the young ones in the clan have been somewhat rusty these past two years from not engaging with Xiaoyang."
Huo Chang re-wrapped the knife with the animal hide and continued, "Conversely, those like Huo Ning in Ji Land should go to the Yongshan Ruins again."
