I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

[You named it the Divine Sea Courtyard Building Technique]

Shen Can slowly opened his eyes, a multitude of shadows appearing suddenly within them, either sitting or cultivating, too numerous to count.

This scene was the path he traversed since he began inferring.

Each shadow represented a snapshot from the process of inference.

The Divine Sea Courtyard Building Technique was derived from the Spirit Descendant Race's 'Divine Crimson Court Technique'.

As the name implies, it's about building structures within one's Divine Sea, weaving one's Divine Court bit by bit, using one's own Divine Sense as the material.

From the time he came into contact with the Spirit Descendant Race's "Profound Spirit True Witch Skill" until the inference concluded, Shen Can expended a total of 1.79 million years of life span.

This was also the most he had expended on a cultivation technique since starting his inferences.

This investment of lifespan was worthwhile, as Shen Can uncovered a bit of the secret as to why the Great Witches of the Spirit Descendant Race were so powerful.

Aside from their innately stronger Divine Sense compared to other races, during their long-lineage and propagation, the Spirit Descendant Race also used Acquired Techniques to solidify their advantage in Divine Sense talent.

For instance, the Divine Crimson Court Technique included in the Profound Spirit True Witch Skill—there's a reason why the Spirit Descendant Race refers to it as a Divine Court, it's not just for show.

In the process of building the Divine Court, it's akin to constructing a grand hall for the Divine Sea, effectively forming its own realm.

The Divine Sea of a Tier Five Great Witch, due to its undefined boundaries, allows the Divine Sense to appear like flowing water, dispersing and spreading freely.

Yet, once the Divine Court is built, it's akin to building a dam across a river; it seems to consolidate the Divine Sense, but gathered together, the Divine Sense becomes deeper and more profound, like an abyss.

It's like fighting, retracting five fingers to form a fist, hitting someone definitely hurts more.

The Divine Court keeps the Divine Sense always gathered in a cluster.

To Shen Can, a good technique must be learned, broadening his knowledge to better develop the Human Race.

Referencing the Spirit Storage Technique of the Spirit Descendant Race, he devised a cultivation method for the Human Race to build structures with their Divine Sense.

The so-called Divine Court is a depiction of the Divine Sea's appearance; the exact form of the Divine Sea is not important.

Even if it resembles a chrysanthemum, as long as it's firm, it's a good chrysanthemum.

During the inference process, Shen Can also used the power of inference to simulate numerous scenarios of himself advancing to a Tier Five Great Witch using the Divine Sea Courtyard Building Technique.

He could say, now all he needed was a suitable place for cultivation.

After gathering his thoughts, Shen Can headed out of the cave dwelling. Although it seemed only a month had passed, he had consumed over two million years of lifespan in inference.

Who dreams for that long?

Just outside the cave, he saw Kui Yang leaping over from afar, floating on the water's surface.

"Thirty-seven thousand miles southeast of my Kui Ox Race territory, there's a wetland with a Water Element Vein."

As Kui Yang spoke, his Divine Sense fluctuated, and Shen Can immediately understood.

The Water Element Vein Kui Yang mentioned was actually a prospective territory for the Kui Ox Race.

With the threat of the Black Water Dragon General's Mansion, the Kui Ox Race couldn't just wait to resist the Dragon Race head-on.

Therefore, they had long sought a suitable place as a new migration site.

This new place isn't simply about finding it and moving there.

In the Great Wilderness, every area has creatures propagating, and migrating a clan to a new location is essentially a conquest and expansion.

One needs to scout ahead to see if there are formidable adversaries they can't afford to provoke.

If there are such enemies, migration can't proceed; otherwise, it wouldn't be migration, but a delivery of meals.

Unable to contend with the Black Water Dragon General's Mansion, the Kui Ox Race would cede their land and seize another area as their new territory.

Simply put, it's essentially a scenario of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps.

At this moment, Shen Can understood Kui Yang's intention. During the month he spent with the Kui Ox Race, while inferring techniques, he would naturally verify them on himself.

The Tier Four Peak Great Witch Realm, under such circumstances, was naturally sensed by Kui Yang.

So, when Kui Yang informed him of this place, it was indeed a suitable location for his advancement.

"There's a Dragon Crocodile residing there, quite powerful, and our race has fought multiple times without subduing it."

"I'm hoping that while my friend is here, we can join forces to see if we can suppress the Dragon Crocodile, so my friend can advance to Tier Five Great Witch using its lair, and our Kui Ox Race will have one less enemy to the southeast."

"The Dragon Crocodile, is it from the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom?"

"Yes, the bloodline of the Wetland Dragon Race nearby is on the verge of overflowing."

Kui Yang said, "However, this Dragon Crocodile, although from the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom, isn't really closely tied to them.

The kingdom is replete with Dragon Species; after the Dragon Bloodline is birthed, maintaining more of the Dragon Race's true form draws attention.

But if the Dragon Race's Divine Form is suppressed, replaced by another Wild Beast form, they are considered mongrels in the Kingdom.

Within the kingdom, even they would hunt mongrels for dining, and these mongrels lead challenging lives.

This Dragon Crocodile fled to become a local bully out of fear of being eaten by a Dragon Race member within the kingdom."

"Can it be subdued?"

The first thought that crossed Shen Can's mind was to subdue this Dragon Crocodile. The Dragon Kingdom, with its vast domain, doesn't lack one Tier Five Dragon Crocodile; he was poor!

Even a single Dragon Crocodile, he coveted the entire mongrel population within the Dragon Kingdom.

"Let's see your skills, young friend."

Kui Yang laughed, "Anyway, this guy can take a beating. It has inherited a Dragon Race innate divine technique allowing it to move rapidly, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

"In short, when you see this Dragon Crocodile, you'll know, it is a crocodile that desperately wants to become a dragon, thin as a skeleton, it doesn't like its large crocodile body, as if trying to starve itself into a dragon."

"May I borrow your Tier Six North Nether Profound Water Array?"

Kui Yang was taken aback, "Isn't the Grand Array already anchored in the wetland? Besides, it's a guardian array."

He understood Shen Can wanted to capture the Dragon Crocodile, the North Nether Profound Water Array wouldn't be suitable, right?

"Arrays are all interlinked; with some modifications, they can be used."

Kui Yang looked at Shen Can, "I've seen Lord Yongshan, are you telling the truth?"

Once a grand array is formed, can it really be changed just like that?

Back in the day, figures like Lord Yongshan had several array masters under them, yet he had never heard of a fixed array being modified like kneading dough.

"There is no one in Yongyi who knows arrays better than I do."

A person and a Kui Ox found the Kui Ox Leader to temporarily borrow the previously set North Nether Profound Water Array.

Upon hearing about it, the Kui Ox Leader also looked at Shen Can, with a look that seemed to say, "Don't fool an ox."

...

One person and two Kui Ox left the wetland and called upon the Red Fire Luwu.

For many days, the Kui Ox had already known of Luwu; however, Luwu did not like areas rich in Water Source Power and rested in a forest outside the wetland.

They headed southeast.

A region where wetlands and mountains interlaced appeared, the mountain slopes by the water were filled with cavern holes, Wild Crocodiles crawling among them.

In the middle of the mountains, a giant Earth Cave looked like the gaping mouth of a giant beast, swallowing the water.

"The cave in the middle of the mountain is the Dragon Crocodile's dwelling, and the Water Element Vein is also inside."

"I'll go lure the Dragon Crocodile out."

The Kui Ox Leader and the Dragon Crocodile were old rivals, every time failing to defeat this Dragon Crocodile, which made it quite furious.

On the way, they had already discussed a strategy to lure the Dragon Crocodile into the Grand Array.

Rumble!

The Kui Ox Leader leaped high, crashing outside the cave, a booming explosion, giant waves surging.

Roar!

Not even having entered the cave, a roar erupted from within, water vapor rushing forth, mixed with streaks of lightning.

A silver Dragon Crocodile with dorsal fins, enraged, charged out of the cave.

Over two hundred zhang in size, with fins like a fish, just as Kui Yang had described its skeletal form conservatively.

It was nothing but skin and bones.

Without the bloated crocodile body, it was all bones.

Was it truly starving itself into a dragon form?

"You dare come to challenge the dragon's might!"

The Dragon Crocodile roared, summoning energy entwined with water vapor and lightning, hurling it toward the Kui Ox Leader.

The Kui Ox Leader did not fight back, a blinding white light exploded from its body, lightning sparking from its scales.

"If you dare challenge the dragon's might, why run away!"

The Dragon Crocodile roared, "And you have help!"

As the Dragon Crocodile charged out of the cave, Shen Can raised his hand and cast the Witch Array.

In an instant, the Witch Rune Spirit Ban flourished, sealing the water in the surrounding wetland around the Dragon Crocodile.

Seeing this, the Dragon Crocodile began to release lightning from its body, attempting to shatter the Witch Runes, only to be confronted by a falling turtle shell.

Unwilling, it charged directly at the shell, only to get knocked dizzy with a thunderous bang, the recoil causing it to fall in mid-air.

The Grand Array formed, trapping the Dragon Crocodile within.

"I am a True Dragon Descendant, how dare you..."

The Dragon Crocodile rolled within the Grand Array, roaring in frustration.

But by then, Shen Can was already heading toward the direction of the cave, intending to examine the Primordial Vein.

"Is it trapped just like that?"

The Kui Ox Leader lay on top of the array, peering down.

"Haha, with this thing, can't we use it to trap the Dragon General too!"

Rumble!

Just as the Kui Ox Leader finished speaking, Kui Yang kicked him out.

"You think all dragons are the same!"
