I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Dong dong dong!

Midnight, two days later.

The quiet ancestral temple suddenly resounded with a dong dong sound, which immediately attracted Huo Chang from afar, quickly appearing outside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can was breaking through inside the ancestral temple, unbeknownst to the tribesmen, but there were temple attendants guarding outside, preventing anyone from interrupting.

However, the sacrificial artifact suddenly emitted a noise, which was indeed unexpected.

"The Ancestral Temple Keeper is communicating with the sacrificial artifact, no need for panic."

Torches continued to light up in the clan city, heading towards the ancestral temple, accompanied by continuous cries and sobbing.

Huo Chang immediately passed the message down.

Inside the ancestral temple.

A senior from Dai Land stepped out from the sacrificial artifact.

Naturally, the noise wasn’t caused by him but rather emanated from another Gui artifact.

As for why the sound arose, it was due to Shen Can.

Shen Can spent a treasure medicine, plus a large amount of witch medicine and source stones, condensing the witch power in his witch vein into a multicolored mercury-like form.

Moreover, the witch vein had successfully expanded several times, and its crystalline witch power filled the entire witch vein to the brim.

After advancing to the rank of Great Witch, Shen Can’s divine sense further increased.

Perhaps due to the Desolate Beast Battle Body, this time the divine sense doubled, reaching beyond three hundred zhang.

The powerful divine sense at the moment of its birth was uncontrolled by Shen Can and rushed into the sacrificial artifact.

After undergoing re-adjustment, the tribe’s sacrificial artifacts were placed in three positions.

In the mountain outside the tribe, the sacrificial artifact is mainly a cauldron, placed in the mountain’s ancestral temple.

In the valley’s main division, the sacrificial artifacts are mainly Gui artifacts, with most placed in the main division’s ancestral temple.

However, one Great Tripod Cauldron was placed by Shen Can in the Blood Bone Purgatory.

Now, it was the Gui artifact inside the main division’s ancestral temple that was buzzing.

This Gui artifact housed the mural predecessor who originally passed down the incomplete Five Pillars Skill.

At this moment, upon Shen Can’s breakthrough to Tier Four Great Witch, during the powerful wave sweeping over the Gui artifact, the mural predecessor’s sacrificial spirit seemed stimulated, unveiling new memories.

The newly breakthrough Shen Can, ignoring everything else, rushed to retract his soaring divine sense, diving into the Gui artifact.

"Sacrifice... sacrifice..."

The waves emitted by the mural predecessor remained intermittent, possibly related to his strength during his lifetime.

Unlike Mu Zhaoyang and Jii Tianlong, two Town Guard Level experts with strong soul bodies and clear consciousness.

In such murmuring intervals, the mural predecessor, using a trenching knife as a brush with the cliff as the canvas, began chiseling the mountain into a painting.

The majestic ancestral temple stood amidst towering mountains.

Outside the ancestral temple were spirit woods swaying over a thousand zhang tall, with massive spirit birds perched upon them.

The Ancestral Temple Keeper, dressed in a heavy sacrificial robe, stood outside the ancestral temple, followed by a group of witch priests chanting.

Figures participating in the sacrifice filled both flanks of the mountain forest.

Countless sacrificial offerings, like jade, witch medicines, source stones, spiritual objects, and the young of wild beasts, piled into small mountains, emitting a strong radiance and vibrations.

On the vast square outside the ancestral temple were captured live sacrifices, including Xiaoyang, those with beaks and wings from alien races, wild beasts...

Also, some alien races unfamiliar to Shen Can.

The dense and countless numbers were all held outside the ancestral temple.

This is a Great Sacrifice map.

The mural predecessor’s carvings were vivid and lifelike, depicting even the successive handprints of the Great Witch Priest.

"Sacrifice, sacrifice!"

Even with an incomplete body, even with lost memories, at this moment, the mural predecessor’s eyes sparkled with intense brilliance, and his mouth kept chanting.

The murals were naturally numerous, fully displaying the sacrificial process, followed by blessings, contests, flag bestowals, and expedition scenes.

This was a sacrifice before a great battle.

After regaining consciousness, Shen Can immediately spread out beast hide paper, transcribing the scenes from the murals transmitted by the mural predecessor.

He drew over thirty sheets of beast hide paper to complete the entire scene.

For others, it might just be a recorded scroll of events.

But Shen Can saw the sacrificial ceremony, various ceremonial formations, witch priest techniques, and sacrificial offerings in the paintings.

This was invaluable to him.

The heavier the ceremonial formations, the more they command majesty and clarify grand events.

The reason the Ancestral Temple Keeper wears a heavy sacrificial robe is not for aesthetics but because the splendid attire can transmit awe, compelling one to feel its majesty instinctively.

Why are sacrificial artifacts always cauldrons, Gui, altars, jars, and why forge so many, actually the logic is the same.

Others visiting your tribe would laugh if they see only a few bronze utensils on your tribe’s ancestral temple, thinking your tribe is doomed.

Previously, the Blazing Flame Division, in the mountains, didn’t have the strength to do these things, but now that it is heading towards Bo Division, some rituals are essential.

Unexpectedly, during the breakthrough process, the unchecked divine sense wave awakened the mural predecessor’s memories of sacrificial scenes.

This was an unexpected delight.

...

Upon securing the copied murals, Shen Can realized the commotion likely disturbed the tribesmen.

He opened the ancestral temple door, finding Huo Chang, Huo Shan, and a group of tribesmen outside the ancestral temple.

Many children were crawling on the ground, almost reaching the ancestral temple door, each babbling, lifting their hands to offer fruits and toys.

"Just now, the sacrificial spirit imparted to me the ritual heritage of the Bo Division’s sacrifice."

Shen Can spoke.

Immediately, the cheers of tribesmen resounded outside the ancestral temple.

Then, a little one, clutching Shen Can’s pants, stood up and suddenly peed a puddle.
