I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 269 - 119: Ancestor Luo River: Don’t Let Beastification Cloud Your Mind
As the Three Fires Tribe absorbed remnants and while the War Envoys from Jishan, Yanran, and other divisions lingered within the tribe, Shen Can had already quietly made his way south along the Guimu River.
Entering the torrent of Luo River from downstream of Guimu River, he stepped into the territory within Luo River Bo Division.
To be fair, it truly deserved to be a division with more than eight thousand years of heritage; upon entering the Luo River realm, he immediately sensed the rich power of water source.
The entire Luo River race territory stood at the bend of the downstream waterway, with the torrential Luo River flowing past on three sides of the clan land.
Shen Can surveyed the scene; within the vast expanse of the Luo River territory, wisps of mist formed by water source power were faintly discernible everywhere.
In such a rich environment of water element source power, even without extensive cultivation, over time one’s physical body could gradually undergo tempering.
In the Luo River territory, the terrain undulated with hills, ancient trees as thick as the embrace of several people stood around, their cracked bark exuding a sense of antiquity.
Vines, resembling giant pythons, either hung suspended or sprawled on the ground.
Amidst ancient trees and old vines, ancient halls appeared faintly.
This was a place more primitive than the Giant Wood Bo Division.
This time, Shen Can did not bring Luo Feng along; despite his stance to overturn the Luo River, this was still the Luo River territory.
Besides, Luo Feng was the body of blood inheritance from Ancestor Luo River; even if his limbs were severed and he lost his blood seal, it didn’t mean he was free from the Ancestor’s control.
Without clear understanding of the status of Ancestor Luo River, naturally, he couldn’t let Luo Feng come.
There are plenty of opportunities to overturn Luo River; as long as he advances to Divine Treasure, Shen Can doesn’t mind bringing Luo Feng back again. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
But this time, it wouldn’t work.
According to Luo Feng, deep in the Luo River territory lies the Luo River Yuan Lake.
Luo River stood tall for eight thousand years relying on the continuously abundant source power from Luo River Yuan Lake.
Long ago, gifted clan people from Luo River Bo Division could enter Luo River Yuan Lake to cultivate.
But ever since the Ancestors used the blood inheritance method, clan members could no longer approach Yuan Lake.
Yuan Lake became a forbidden area for the entire clan division, and those who trespass would face severe punishment.
Within Luo River, Shen Can circled around, observing the ancient, aged tribe that exuded an aroma akin to decaying wood.
This tribe, like a giant tree, had already been hollowed out, now stuck in a state of death without collapse.
Previously, Yanran Division also visited Luo River seeking advancement methods—logically, if not deliberately spread, outsiders would hardly know of it.
Yet, in Luo Region and Ji Land, it wasn’t considered a secret.
Why? Mainly because Luo River brought it upon themselves.
Yanran had been rising in Ji Land, not recently—a fact Luo River couldn’t be unaware of.
As Yanran Division Chief who rapidly rose in Ji Land over a hundred years, most likely progressing to Bo Division, visited.
Even as a Bo Division of dignity, Luo River had to allow entrance when the chief visits.
But when Yann Wanyun visited Luo River Bo Division, handed over the clan letter as per custom, he was made to wait outside the mountain for three nights.
Three days of waiting aside, he was bluntly told to get lost like a horse keeper because the Ancestor had no time to welcome him.
Who was Yann Wanyun? He spearheaded the rise of the Xiaoyang tribe chief.
Immediately, he led people to storm into Luo River Bo Division, fighting from the clan gates to inside the Luo River territory.
Reportedly, Yann Wanyun brought three hundred people; they fought through Luo River and retreated with everyone intact, not leaving a single person behind.
According to Luo Feng, the three hundred led by Yann Wanyun were unimaginably strong, commanded like an arm, with imposing momentum.
To let Ji Land Tribe breach the clan territory, without capturing anyone, Luo River Bo Division’s reputation sunk into the Luo River itself.
As for what happened in the depths of the tribe afterward, Luo Feng was unaware.
In Shen Can’s view, Yann Wanyun retreating intact must have had a trump card.
Otherwise, the old fellows of Luo River wouldn’t let him leave easily.
What could make the old fellows anxious wasn’t the clan division inheritance, but most likely their lives.
Shen Can initially considered bringing clan soldiers to learn from Yanran Division but later thought better of it.
Though imposing, the commotion was too large.
This time required swift action—to obtain advancement methods and resources to achieve Tier Four, and other matters could wait.
Under the night, Shen Can’s figure vanished into Luo River, crossing through Luo River territory.
Luo Feng mentioned, Luo River Bo Division hadn’t held clan rituals in many years.
Such a scenario among Great Wilderness divisions was unthinkable.
Back when Blazing Flame was so weak, they didn’t know the purpose of ritual sacrifices, yet they still performed yearly rituals—even toddlers knew to offer good things to the Ancestral Temple.
A Bo Division without rituals—it’s hard to imagine what maintains the tribe’s inheritance.
Shen Can walked quickly, the deeper he went into Luo River territory, the more stifling the atmosphere became, exuding a peculiar aura.
Clearly excellent cultivation source power, yet it resembled stagnant water in an old pond.
The territory was surrounded by rolling hills, forming a valley.
Water vapor hovered above the valley, forming thick dark clouds.
This valley was the core Yuan Lake area of Luo River Bo Division.
Once, the ancestor temple of Luo River was cultivated outside the valley.
Now, the ancestor temple was gone.
Rumor says it was relocated into the valley, but the valley is forbidden, and Luo River clan people cannot easily venture into the valley.
After circling the valley, Shen Can sensed dense Witch Talisman Spirit Bans within the valley, guarded outside by clan soldiers.
