I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 334 - 145: Completing the Legacy, Establishing Blood Bone Purgatory!

Only with a powerful will can one maintain true to oneself.

Uncle Huo Shan was Shen Can’s first experimental subject; next, he will select a batch of veterans to conduct the second round of experiments.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Prison established by the predecessors of Dai Land is primarily designed to temper Tier Four Divine Treasure martial artists to resist their own beastification.

But in Shen Can’s view, starting from the Tier Three mid-to-late stage is already too late.

There are indeed martial artists whose willpower becomes as solid as iron and stone in one fell swoop, but they are few in number.

It’s better to begin sharpening the mind right from the start, initiating willpower tempering the moment a martial artist steps into the Stone-Breaking Realm.

The strength of the will should progress gradually along with the elevation of the martial arts realm.

However, to accomplish such reform, a large amount of experimental data is required, necessitating many clan members as experimental subjects.

The predecessors of Dai Land once mentioned that their tribe also attempted to make willpower tempering universal, but the side effects were too severe, forcing them to abandon the effort.

But in Shen Can’s view, the difficulty in advancing to the fourth tier, and the beastification that follows, stems from the lack of solid early-phase cultivation.

His ability to perfectly advance to the Divine Treasure proves that this path is viable.

The beastification of the traitors in Yongyi is so severe, yet look at the Lord Jishan, who is still mid-stage Divine Treasure and remains human-shaped without a trace of beast form.

This has an inevitable connection with Lord Jishan’s years of strategic battles against Xiaoyang, wittingly and bravely.

Each division of Yongyi sees the people of Ji Land as horse slaves, even though Xiaoyang is the enemy of all the Yongyi Human Race, they all watch coldly from the sidelines as outsiders.

How are they treating the people of Ji Land as compatriots?

Is there a chance this is due to the beastification caused by their cultivation techniques?

When a beastified Tier Four martial artist governs a clan division, representing the will of hundreds of thousands or even millions within, the clan members naturally conform to the clan chief’s mindset.

...

At this moment, the divine sense of Huo Shan within the cave was drawn forth, perceiving a scene of slaughter unfolding, where he stood atop a mountain of corpses, striking down the advancing Xiaoyang.

Under the powerful divine sense pull of the Tier Four Sacrificial Spirit, Huo Shan completely entered the constructed illusory battlefield.

Shen Can became vigilant, ready to intervene immediately should any issues arise.

He wanted Uncle Huo Shan to cultivate the Desolate Beast Battle Body technique and then proceed to break through to the Divine Treasure.

The current concern was whether Uncle Huo Shan, having cultivated the War Body technique, could maintain his true self in a beastified state.

Therefore, Huo Shan became the first experimental subject of the newly established Purgatory.

...

Two months later.

Main Division, Shen Can’s residence.

Seated on the couch, Shen Can slowly opened his eyes, several Beast Hide Scrolls spread out on the desk before him.

One scroll titled "Water and Wood Mutual Study Contract" is derived from Xiaoyang’s witchcraft advancement method.

Among the other scrolls, the top one is inscribed with "Five Elements Mutual Study Method."

Relying on Xiaoyang’s Tier Three witchcraft, and drawing from the experiences of over a dozen Xiaoyang Tier Three wizards, Shen Can deduced this subsequent method for advancing to Great Witch.

In the open space before the desk, two Great Tripod Cauldrons bubbled with herbal broth, the rich aroma of the medicine permeating the grand hall.

One cauldron’s potion bubbled with a crimson hue, while the other glowed with a five-colored spiritual light, like a brilliant radiance dancing within the cauldron.

The witch medicines within the two cauldrons had been simmering for three days, with Huo Yunn, the only disciple to advance to Tier Three, and his small apprentice Yan Ling attending to them all the while.

"Master, the Blood Witch Medicine is ready."

Huo Yunn stood and stirred the blood-glowing cauldron, where all the witch medicines had melted into a thick fluid, crimson and crystalline.

Upon hearing this, Shen Can nodded.

The witch medicines concocted in the two Great Tripod Cauldrons, one portion was for him, and the other was to assist Huo Shan in cultivating the Desolate Beast Battle Body.

His portion had an added treasure medicine, requiring a longer simmering time.

"Go and summon Uncle Huo Shan."
