I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Shen Can took a look, and thought, this kid’s got potential.

He turned the Tier Four Muo Xiao into a blood mist; he was the first to attack him.

Grabbing the collar of his clothes, he picked up the little guy.

"What’s your name?"

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, my name is Ahu."

A young woman, somewhat timid, wanted to come closer but didn’t dare to.

He handed the child back to the woman and then told everyone to take their children back.

"You little dummy, why aren’t you climbing faster?"

"And you, you’ve crawled all the way to the Ancestral Temple Keeper, didn’t you know to pee? You peed all over the mat, didn’t know to let the Ancestral Temple Keeper pinch you for a bit. Can you become a wizard when you grow up like this!"

The mumbling wasn’t too low; people nearby could hear it, leading to lots of laughter.

"Quick, didn’t you hear? Go let the Ancestral Temple Keeper pinch you, quick."

"Just one pinch to become a wizard. Look at whose Flame Mountain is said to have been pinched by the Ancestral Temple Keeper years ago, and now he’s already a witch."

...

Outside the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can commented:

"It’s the middle of the night, go back to sleep. Aren’t you sleepy? The children must be tired too."

Huo Chang immediately scolded.

"Wow!"

With Huo Chang’s scolding, cries echoed out.

Huo Chang: "..."

Soon, everyone outside the Ancestral Temple dispersed, and Huo Chang didn’t enter the temple but followed Shen Can back to their quarters.

As for the puddle outside the Ancestral Temple, clan members were already cleaning it up.

An hour later.

In the mountains, dozens of miles north of the Clan Land.

With a change of clothes, Shen Can stood on a protruding hill.

Below the hill.

"Brother Atang, remember, you asked to be beaten. Don’t hold a grudge against me afterward."

Huo Shan stretched his body, and then a wild aura burst forth from him, his whole body swelling up from his robe.

Bulging blue veins snaked like dragons clinging to his now-enlarged body.

A dark golden Fire Ape appeared on the wasteland under the moonlight.

"Brother Atang, no Clan Leader under fist and foot."

Even transformed into the Fire Ape, Huo Shan still felt the need to remind.

"Come on, I promise I won’t hold it against you."

Huo Chang sensed the drastic change in Huo Shan’s aura, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Right before him, Huo Shan’s aura multiplied several times, his body swelling to nearly five zhangs, and a powerful pressure bore down.

Crash!

The next moment, the two figures clashed.

Huo Chang threw a punch, and Huo Shan reciprocated.

With a bang, Huo Chang flew back dozens of zhangs, slamming into the ground.

Huo Shan leaped, crossing the dozens of zhangs, pinning down on Huo Chang.

With the roar of raging blood energy, Huo Chang rolled for over a dozen zhangs, getting away as the huge fist behind struck earth, shattering the ground.

...

On the hill, Shen Can watched the exchange between the two figures.

In a short half-hour, Huo Chang had been blasted away over twenty times.

"Clan Leader, come on over!"

Huo Shan beat his chest with thunderous claps, letting out an excited roar.

Huo Chang wiped his bruised face and walked towards Shen Can.

"I want to train in this technique too."

Behind him, an excited Huo Shan ran over, asking, "Brother Atang, are you alright? Was I too rough?"

Within his seemingly caring words, Shen Can detected a bit of gleeful excitement.

"Not too rough. Once I train in the War Body Technique, we can spar again, just the two of us."

"Clan Leader, this technique is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a lot of resources; I think you shouldn’t train in it."

Huo Shan spoke earnestly, "In the future, I’ll protect you."

"No thank you, my future Clan Leader. I fear you might hammer me to death and ascend prematurely."

Hearing this, Huo Shan scratched the back of his head, "Clan Leader, what are you saying? I wouldn’t dare hammer you to death; at most, I might accidentally hurt you."

...

"Acan, does training the Desolate Beast Battle Body consume a lot of resources?"

Huo Chang asked Shen Can, "But we don’t seem to lack resources right now; what we lack is combat power.

A Bo Division requires solid fighting strength, and we’re quite behind Jishan and Yanran.

If we can use this method to supplement our combat power, then spending some resources is not a problem."

Shen Can also explained the drawbacks of this method, which include the ease of beastification.

This was equivalent to the beastification found in the Divine Treasure Realm starting at the Celestial Vein stage.

But to be fair, without beastification to enhance strength and physical fortitude, reaching the Divine Treasure is nearly impossible.

At least when he broke through to the Divine Treasure, leveraging the powerful body tempered by the Desolate Beast Battle Body, his body stabilized during the breakthrough, reducing the chance of injury.

His long-term plan is to develop the Desolate Beast Battle Body into a divine technique, eventually spreading it widely.

But for now, this idea is somewhat unrealistic.

Huo Chang was right; the clan currently lacks accomplishments to support a Bo Division.

Below Tier Four, there really isn’t much solid fighting strength, and the gap with divisions like Jishan is clear.

Therefore, the Desolate Beast Battle Body must be cultivated, first selecting a group to nurture as the backbone force.

Then, monitor all clan members training in the Desolate Beast Battle Body, selecting outstanding individuals to attempt advancing to the Divine Treasure.

This way, the clan can ensure there are enough strong backbones, accumulate corresponding cultivation data, laying the foundation for future developments and widespread applications.

Hence, Shen Can’s short-term plan is to rely on the Desolate Beast Battle Body, coupled with the advanced techniques he has developed, to create a progression system from Desolate Beast to Divine Treasure.

The Desolate Beast Battle Body strengthens the physical form.

The breakthrough technique is used to impact the Divine Treasure.

And the Blood Bone Purgatory is used to temper the will, preventing beastification erosion in those training in the Desolate Beast Battle Body.
