I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 79 - 50: Celestial Vein!

In the pool.

The tail of the Little Dragon Fish was pinched, and it turned its head and sprayed fiercely at Shen Can.

In the inherited memory, once the Human Race beastifies, they become even more terrifying than Wild Beasts.

Bloodthirsty, losing humanity.

This is the flaw in the Human Race’s observation of Wild Beasts’ creation of cultivation methods.

After spitting out several times, the Little Dragon Fish found that the fluctuations conveyed by Shen Can’s expression were no different from usual.

Only then did it close its mouth.

"Bubble."

It incidentally blew a bubble that floated to Shen Can’s face, rubbing against it.

Remembering how the Little Dragon Fish was so anxious earlier that it started talking, Shen Can gently patted its head.

Soon, Huo Chang and Huo Xian arrived in the cave.

"Acan, are you okay?"

"It’s already done."

Looking at the two concerned people, Shen Can said, "In the future, I’ll try not to practice such dangerous forbidden techniques."

He did not mention his peculiar encounter.

It’s truly unbelievable; this anomaly should only appear when the Desolate Power reaches its limit, something the Blazing Flame Division may not encounter for a long time.

Also, the roaring of the Kui Ox afterward, and even the sound of drums.

The drumbeats were so loud that they helped clear his mind.

Was the drum sound in the depths of his mind an illusion, or was someone really drumming?

Though he never fell into confusion from start to finish, the drum sound helped him quickly escape the illusion created by the Kui Ox’s roar.

"You two chat, after drinking so much water, I’ll get Acan something dry."

Seeing Shen Can was okay, Huo Xian walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Clan Leader, is the matter with the Upper Lake Division resolved?"

Shen Can stood up from the pool and began to dress.

"Resolved, burned it all."

"Also, the shares of the Upper Lake Division in the Ruins Market have been inherited by us, including Copper Shell, Zhushui, East Mountain, Qu River’s four markets, of which Qu River Market is the largest, allowing us to travel south to Yongyi."

"Acan, we can’t sell slaves like them, right? Most slaves nearby are gathered along the Great Marsh and are farming for us."

Shen Can nodded, saying, "Clan Leader, there’s no rush to head to the market. We truly don’t have much to sell, so let’s just send people to gather information for now."

"Currently, converting our harvest to strength is most important. Once we’re strong enough, whether Cyan Bird or Ape Mountain allow us into the market won’t be their decision anymore."

"This time, I acquired some top-grade herbs at the Upper Lake Division. After I retreat for a few days, I’ll blend these witch medicines, and with a bowl of secret broth, you can also enhance your foundation."

"Young Master Lingyu ultimately has to ’return’; we need to rely on ourselves."

Retreating naturally was for advancing to the Celestial Vein Realm.

Huo Chang felt the same way; he collected many items to be used first.

The Upper Huang and Upper Lake tribulations made him see clearly; don’t hoard, or it might become someone else’s.

"Let’s go, eat, only by following you can I get a meal cooked by Uncle Huo Xian."

The two strolled back to the Ancestral Temple.

Under the night sky.

Outside the Blazing Flame Race Territory, fires lit up one after another in the distance.

Along the Great Marsh shore, rolling hills and highlands, beacon towers were built, connecting to over a dozen subordinate colonies.

Smoke by day, fires by night.

Now, the beacons connected, forming a winding fiery dragon Great Wall.

The end of the beacon was too far to tell which colony was attacked.

Seeing this scene, the clansmen quickly reported to Huo Chang.

"The beacon’s lit?"

Shen Can was still eating, unaffected by the beacon’s lighting.

Huo Chang was the same.

"Let Huo Shan lead people to check."

As the designated next clan leader, Huo Chang unhesitatingly sent Huo Shan out.

Out in the dark, better to train more.

Shen Can agreed, standing to pour Huo Chang another bowl of wine.

"With these thousands of subjects, our tribe hardly has any food and drink issues."

"Acan, should we teach these subjects the Martial Dao?"

After drinking the night away, they discussed many matters; not every issue was decided, just thoughts spoken aloud.

The next day, Shen Can woke up and routinely served the ancestors, ignoring the beacon situation last night.

His mind was focused on breaking through the Celestial Vein Realm.

Cultivating in the Celestial Vein Realm requires each Martial Artist’s Qi Strength reaching the corresponding extreme, the Qi Strength birthing blood energy to break the meridians.

Rested for two days.

Still in the Dragon Fish Cave, Shen Can soaked in the pool, with Mountain-Splitting Kui Meat, fish meat, and Jade Dew Soup before him.

He ate unhurriedly.

Bite after bite of meat down the throat, gulping the Jade Dew Soup when choked.

The scorching sensation grew within.

The Little Dragon Fish nearby, its head almost touching the Jade Dew Soup.

It sometimes blew bubbles at Shen Can, other times touched the stone bowl with its mouth.

The intention was obvious.

It wanted to drink too.

But Shen Can pretended not to see it, making the Little Dragon Fish wag its tail frantically.

After eating a third, Shen Can felt a blood energy growing beneath his chest.

Birthing blood energy marked the Celestial Vein Realm.

However, he didn’t stop, the blood energy continually increasing.

With introspection, he directly locked onto where the blood energy gathered.

The Divine Sense cultivated from witchcraft proved useful, allowing better control over the body’s developed blood energy.

Celestial Vein Martial Artist unlocks the Celestial Vein, the blood energy nourishing the body, and Divine Sense power grows concurrently.

But Shen Can practiced both Witchcraft and Martial Dao, his Divine Sense already strong, now directly deploying Divine Sense as another shortcut.

Subsequently, he no longer dallied, pouring the remaining meat and Jade Dew Soup into himself.

Seeing Shen Can fully focused on cultivating, the Little Dragon Fish quickly dashed to the thrown stone bowl, swallowing it whole.

...

Not enough!

After eating, Shen Can still felt it wasn’t enough.

His digestion of meat had reached an exceedingly rapid state, with everything he ate quickly transforming into blood qi.

"Ayu, serve the rice!"

Ayu in the cave got busy immediately after hearing the call.

Shen Can had instructed Ayu about this before he went into seclusion.

A pot of big meat was quickly sent into the cave by Ayu.

Shen Can opened his mouth and began eating.

The divine technique of All Transformations Return to One activated at this moment.

More and more blood qi was generated inside, yet it was all circled in one place by Shen Can’s divine sense.

Outside the cave, more than a dozen clan members were busy cooking meat.

Pot after pot of meat was sent into the cave; in the blink of an eye, it was already dark, and the meat sent into the cave had exceeded ten large pots.

The meat was sent in by Huo Yuu, and everyone thought the Dragon Fish inside was eating it.

Huo Yuu stood guard at the mouth of the cave.

Inside the cave.

After continuously eating large amounts of meat and gulping down over a dozen bowls of Jade Dew Soup, the blood qi accumulated within Shen Can was surging violently, and even his divine sense could no longer contain it.

Rumble!

The first Celestial Vein was burst open without obstruction.

Then, the blood qi continued, directly entering the second Celestial Vein.

Rumble!

The second vein too was unobstructed, the blood qi with the guidance of divine sense accurately traced the path of the Celestial Vein from start to finish in one smooth motion.

The blood qi entered the third Celestial Vein, and only then did it slow down slightly.

Covered entirely in blood qi, Kui Patterns on Shen Can’s body transformed into scales.

A true Kui Ox Transformation with shape and a touch of divine charm!

Of course, although he underwent the Kui Ox Transformation, his physical body only increased by about double, and his sense for water flows became even clearer.

Shen Can quietly savored this transformation.

Firstly, his physical defense was at least three times stronger, the scale armor generated by blood qi was extremely hard, and faintly patterns emerged on the surface.

The Kui Ox inherently prospers near water, making waves; where there is water, its might increases.

His control over water also doubled.

Suspended motionless in the water, the intangible aura he exuded forced the Little Dragon Fish into a corner.

In a daze, Shen Can felt a calling again.

At first, he thought it was an illusion.

This was different from the previous Kui Ox calling in his ear; it was more like someone softly chanting, indistinct, evoking a desire to peek.

...

In the wetland outside the Blazing Flame Race Territory.

On the water’s surface, a crocodile about a yard long emerged.

On the crocodile’s head, a Black Pill slowly rotated, dissipating black energy all around.

The huge mouth opened and closed, uttering obscure incantations, and the black energy emanating from the Black Pill became increasingly thick. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It had discovered a settlement along the wetland a few days ago, originally intent on having a feast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it rushed ashore, alarm sounds went off, and a barrage of arrow fletchings tickled it.

It thought these humans would fight it to the death, delivering food directly to its mouth.

No one anticipated that a crowd would scatter, fleeing from houses as if a well-rehearsed routine.

Afterwards, it discovered the main settlement of the Human Race tribe along the water’s edge, a place with more people than it had seen in a long time since leaving Yongyi.

If it could become a fief, it would be enough for it to enjoy for a while.

The incantation in the Tuo Lord’s mouth quickened a bit.

If someone could submit to its call, they would become its Witch Slave.

This small tribe probably didn’t even have a proper Witch.

Why were there so many Blood Witches, if not because too many lacked talent and still wanted to progress further along the Witchcraft Path, succumbing to temptation and falling?

It was doing a good deed by helping some Human Race wizards reach their dreamlike realms.

"Do you want to become a true Witch?"

"Do you want to progress further?"

Come on, come on, hurry up and come."

As an experienced Sacrificial Master Blood Witch, it boasted rich experience in luring Human Race wizards to fall and become slaves.

In the past at Yongyi, even a small tribe witch with firm will became its Witch Slave after half a month.

As dawn approached, the Tuo Lord swallowed the Black Pill, vanishing into the water.

Come back tomorrow night; with the Soul Sacrifice Nightmare Bead’s help, not a single witch from a small tribe could escape its nightmare enticement.

The next day.

The third day.

...

The fifth day.

At midnight, Shen Can awoke from his bed.

He had a dream.

In the dream, it seemed like a dark shadow asked him if he wanted to become a true Witch.

A true Witch?

With a powerful divine sense, he was a dream adept who had wandered the realm of dreams for thousands of cycles.

"Become a Tier One Wizard?"

Shen Can rubbed his face to refresh himself, contemplating but unable to figure it out; as a dignified Tier Three Celestial Vein, Tier Two Wizard, how could he be having such an overly cautious dream.

If it was about becoming a Tier Three Wizard, he’d find it reliable.

This Tier One Witch, couldn’t be starting over by deleting the account, right?

The dream version seemed a bit low.

Why would he be bored enough to have this kind of dream?
