After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 114 Cultivation: The Entire Clan Practices Fire Techniques!

The golden crow spread its wings, which were like clouds hanging from the sky, with large fireballs rolling beneath them. The golden flames covered the sky and obscured the heavens.

"Chirp!"

Amidst the raging ocean of flames, a golden crow cried out to the sky, tilting its head towards the mountains and fields below.

A fire dragon spewed from its mouth, coalescing into a small sun in the sky, rolling down and heading towards a giant doll in the mountains.

Facing the approaching sun, it showed no fear in its eyes, but rather a look of eager anticipation, its paws stomping the ground, ready to crash into the flames.

But an arm as large as a mountain fell from the sky, grabbed the little giant doll and hoisted it onto its shoulder. The enormous staff, formed from the bones of some unknown wild beast, shattered the falling sun.

The bursts of firelight dispersed the billowing black smoke, and on the boundless mountain forests and wilderness, giants much taller than the hills were scattered everywhere, the larger ones exceeding a thousand feet in height, and the smaller ones several hundred feet.

Looking at it, I don't know how many heads there are.

They either dragged white bone clubs the size of mountains or grabbed huge stone spears, sometimes directly breaking off mountains and smashing them into the air.

Rumble!
Amidst the blasted-open golden ocean of flames, golden crows revealed their forms.

This was a battle between a group of giants and a group of golden crows, and the battle area stretched for an unknown number of miles.

At this moment, wherever it can be seen, raging flames burn in the mountains and forests, and smoke and dust shroud the sky.

The two terrifying groups fought intermittently as they marched, their direction of travel unpredictable, and the scope of the battle fluctuated, sweeping across all directions.

The golden crows, enveloped in blazing golden flames, arrived at Lingyu Valley. The fertile land, dotted with rivers and lakes, was scorched by the flames, causing the surging water to evaporate into steam, making a sizzling sound.

Then, the massive horde of giants caught up and, seeing the lake below, some plunged their heads into the water and began gulping it down.

After drinking his fill, the giant grabbed his giant spear and chased after the Golden Crow again, while the giants following behind caught up and continued to drink water.

A group of giants arrived at the northernmost part of the valley, near the giant mountain. They didn't look at the humans hiding on the mountain, but instead quickly replenished their water supply.

Vast lakes, evaporating under the flames and drinking freely by giants, quickly dried up to their bottoms.

Even the melting snow from the Juyue Mountains cannot replenish the lake in a short time.

Rumble!
Rumble!
The battle between the two terrorist groups continues.

A giant who had just finished drinking water raised his hand and stabbed a golden crow with a stone spear.

Another giant leaped high into the air, grabbed the injured Golden Crow's leg, and yanked it down from mid-air.

"Bah!"

The golden eagle wings were torn off and handed to a small giant, while the rest of the flesh was quickly torn into many pieces and devoured by different giants.

Even the dripping blood of the golden crow was scraped away by the giant lying on the ground with his tongue, which was as deep as a ravine, swallowing up the soil, rocks, grass, and ashes.

……

From the mountains to the north of the valley, booming sounds continued as martial artists repeatedly struck, shattering the incoming flames to prevent them from hitting their dwellings.

However, at this moment, a golden crow was captured and killed, which enraged the golden crow flock. Blazing flames fell from the sky and fought even more fiercely with the giant on the ground.

In an instant, more sparks flew towards the northern mountains.

A series of magical spells bloomed in the mountains, colliding with the flames.

Ordinary falling flames were fine, but a fireball a thousand feet in size suddenly changed direction and headed towards the mountain.

The fireball rolled, covering the sky.

"Help me!"

Lord Lingyu rose into the air, a long spear appearing in his hand.

Behind them, several wizards chanted incantations together, and a Lingyu Dharma Image, over two hundred feet in size, rapidly condensed in the void and merged with the Lingyu Lord.

The fish-shaped image that could be formed was already teetering on the brink of collapse as soon as it appeared in the scorching environment.

"Clan leader, no, the flames in the world are too strong, and the witchcraft is being suppressed!"

Lord Lingyu also realized that he couldn't withstand the fireball at all.

"Please offer sacrifices to the spirits!"

Inside the Lingyu Ancestral Temple nestled in the mountains, the temple staff rapidly struck the fish-scale drum.

An ancient aura revived within the drum, and three powerful figures swiftly rushed out of the ancestral temple, traversing the sky and crashing into the Lingyu Dharma Image.

"broken!"

Lord Lingyu's aura surged through the air, and the Lingyu Dharma Image burst forth from the spear in his hand, colliding with the falling fireball.

Water and fire collided, exploding into thousands of shattered flames in mid-air.

The commotion here did not attract the attention of the Golden Crow and the Giant. They didn't care about the ants on the ground at all. After repeatedly crushing the Lingyu Valley two or three times, they continued to fight and left in the southeast direction.

"The Kuafu tribe".

Lord Lingyu quietly followed behind this terrifying group of people who were crossing the border, and only felt relieved when he saw that they had actually left the vast valley.

Looking at the valley and plain that Lingyu had worked so hard to develop over thousands of years, Lord Kelingyu was on the verge of tears.

The golden crow and the giant passed through the valley, turning this fertile land, rich in water resources, into scorched earth.

The rivers and marshes dried up, and some of the tribal cities were reduced to thin pieces, left beneath the huge footprints.

Just as Lingyu Bo was about to return, he discovered a streak of light appearing behind the fighting Golden Crow and Kuafu Giant amidst the billowing dust.

He held his breath and stared intently at the streak of light.

"Is it the human race?"

However, in just a flash, the streak of light was engulfed by the flames and golden light that filled the sky and disappeared without a trace.

The Lingyubo tribe and its vassal tribes, who had been hiding in the mountains, emerged one after another, their eyes filled with confusion as they gazed at the billowing smoke and the cracked earth.

Originally, this area of ​​the Lingyu tribe could produce a lot of rice, but now the earth is cracked and the snow mountain water in the northern giant mountain is almost dried up. It is unknown how long it will take to restore it to the former Yushui Valley.

……

When the Golden Crow and Kuafu passed through, both races were enormous and incredibly powerful. During their battles, they didn't care about the other races in the area they passed through, as they considered them nothing more than ants.

These two groups fought intermittently, generally moving eastward.

They don't move in a straight line during the fight; sometimes they stay in one area and fight repeatedly for a while, and sometimes they move the battlefield north and south.

Moreover, in order to maintain an abundant source of fire in the world, golden crows set fires everywhere as they flew through the sky.

Even a few sparks of fire falling from the sky can set the forest ablaze.

Wherever Kuafu went, he drank the lakes and marshes dry to quench his thirst.

The passage of the two groups created a vast fiery zone stretching thousands or even tens of thousands of miles from north to south.

Some of the wild beasts in the mountains and forests were alert and began to flee in advance, but most of them were still swallowed by the flames, and some even ended up in the giant's mouth.

……

The land of the Blazing Flame Clan.

In the hot environment, the great marshland is gradually drying up, and the edge of the water's edge is already thousands of miles away from the tribe's territory, and the rate of drying up is gradually accelerating.

The number of wild beasts rushing in from the western mountains and forests is also increasing.

Even during the day, you can see the blazing fire clouds hanging high at the western horizon, and at night, they are even more magnificent and beautiful.

In this situation, even ordinary clansmen understand that something big is about to happen.

The Blazing Flame Clan Palace.

Several more messengers from subordinate departments came, wanting the higher-ups to make a decision.

The people of all the tribes were in a panic.

In the past, when natural disasters occurred, each department had to bear them on its own. Now, with the support of the upper department, it's like grasping a lifeline.

……

Ancestral temple.

The ancestral temple was filled with tributes brought by various subordinate departments.

In the square outside the ancestral temple, thirty-six young martial artists selected by the Martial Hall are practicing the Ape Stance Technique.

The fire elemental energy permeating the world became increasingly abundant, while the water elemental energy became the rarest.

Starting last month, most of the tribe members began practicing the ape-shaped stance method, and this was also the case in various sub-communities.

When practicing stance training, the clan does not require members to choose several styles. Members who feel they are capable enough can practice both bear stance and bird stance.

These two methods of pile driving belong to the earth and wood elements, respectively.

The hotter the weather, the better the effects of practicing the Monkey Stance.

Especially for these youngsters in the Martial Hall, who have only been cultivating for a short time, it's like they've encountered an excellent cultivation environment.

The number of wild beasts rushing out of the mountains and forests is several times that of usual, so the supply of wild beast meat is naturally abundant.

The young people from various settlements who had previously failed to be selected for the Martial Hall suddenly stood up after switching to the Ape Stance.

In this month alone, the number of teenagers in the martial arts academy has increased by more than 180, bringing the total number to nearly 1,000.

Outside the ancestral temple, thirty-six people, resembling red apes climbing a mountain, were radiating heat. The stronger ones were like calves, and all had already become warriors at the Stone-Splitting Realm. The oldest among them was only seventeen.

In the past, seventeen-year-old clansmen were still struggling to practice inferior Kui Niu Fist. Now, the techniques, food, and environment are all suitable, and the cultivation environment has been completely transformed.

As for those clansmen who have practiced Kui Niu Fist for many years, they start by practicing other stances besides the Ape Stance, so that at least they won't encounter any incompatibility issues.

Those who encounter problems during their practice will continue practicing the Kui Niu Dharma Stance in the underground culvert.

In short, the entire tribe adapted to the changing environment, and cultivation progressed faster overall.

But apart from the good things in martial arts, other aspects are not so good.

Shen Can felt his sorcery power waning. Fortunately, his martial arts had improved, otherwise this would have been the perfect time to hunt down the water sorcerer.

The heat waves rolling in from the west are increasing day by day, and the vegetation in the mountains is beginning to droop its branches from the scorching heat. In some places, wildfires have already broken out.

Shen Can, who was watching the thirty-six young temple guards cultivate, was also gazing at the crimson-golden glow in the west.

This glow of light is far in the sky, and its area can vary in size.

At this moment, there was movement within the clan's territory. A group of clan soldiers rode the Rift Mountain Kui and rushed out of the West Mountain camp, dispersing into dozens of teams, heading west and south respectively.

After noticing the heatwave coming from the west, the tribe sent human beings westward to investigate.

Unfortunately, the mountain path to the west was unfamiliar, and wild beasts were charging towards them, making the reconnaissance difficult and the distance they could cover was not far.

Before long, Shen Can learned the purpose of these tribal soldiers' outing.

He went to the various vassal tribes to send messages, instructing them to migrate into the mountains to avoid disaster.

Huotang learned from his previous experience fighting Xiaoyang and decided to hide in the mountains for the time being, regardless of the situation in the west.

If it's not a big problem, we can always move out again.

As for the grain we planted, we harvested two more crops in the previous year, and this season itself didn't yield much due to environmental issues.

In addition, during this period, wild beasts moved from west to east, and various tribes hunted them extensively.

Shen Can stood outside the ancestral temple, gazing at the western horizon. Suddenly, he saw a layer of black smoke rising from the golden fiery clouds.

After thinking for a moment, he called out to Ah Yu, who was cultivating nearby.

"Ayu, go tell the clan chief to clear away all visible flammable materials such as grass and trees from the clan's territory outwards. Clear away as much as you can."

The residents of all settlements were notified to take action together, and all combustible vegetation near their residences must be cleared away. Firewood can be stored in underground culverts, and there is no need to worry about whether it will be damp or not.

Furthermore, instruct the clan chief to send a second batch of messengers to announce to all tribes that from the moment the order is received, the entire clan should begin migrating into the mountains. What needs to be abandoned should be abandoned; as long as people are alive, they can be rebuilt.

"Wait, tell the tribes that this is a sign from the sacrificial spirit!"

……

"Heat wave, could it really be a huge fire?"

After Ah Yu left, Shen Can looked west again.

Waves of heat swept across the mountains and valleys, many times larger than the flames in front of the campfire.

In less than half an hour, the second batch of messengers also rushed out of the tribe.

The tribe also began to get busy, with tribespeople leaving their territory to clear away the vegetation, and orders being relayed to various settlements in a synchronized manner.

……

Azure Bird Division.

"By order of the Blazing Flame Clan, all tribes shall pack their belongings as soon as possible and migrate into the mountains as a whole."

Canghe watched the messenger depart and then returned to the clan's territory with the elders beside him.

"This disaster has struck again. When will it ever end?"

An elder muttered something, but Canghe didn't respond and led the way.

"We began to organize the tribe's resource reserves in preparation for the northward migration."

The elders did not object; even a fool could feel how hot it was getting.

A month ago, Canghe sent someone to the Zhiyan Department to seek their advice.

"Chief, the messenger from the upper realm has arrived again!"

As soon as Canghe reached the main hall of the clan, clansmen hurried over from behind.

"Didn't the messenger just leave? Why is he back again?" an elder asked.

"It's not the one who just left, it's the new one."

Upon hearing the sound, the crane hesitated for a moment, then quickly headed out of the clan.

"Chief Cang, the temple has received guidance from the sacrificial spirit. The chief has ordered me to come and deliver the order again. All tribes must immediately migrate north after receiving the order, without delay."

"Move immediately? We haven't even..."

Canghe stopped the elder from speaking further, "I understand, I will immediately arrange for the clansmen to migrate north."

Two batches of messengers arrived in succession, prompting each tribe to quickly take action.

That very day, some tribes that packed up quickly embarked on their journey north.

To ensure the smooth migration of the various tribes, Huotang dispatched a third batch of messengers and sent two thousand Blazing Flame Guards to provide support along the way.

With this arrangement, the various tribes migrated very quickly.

The first batch of several vassal tribes went directly into the mountains north of the Blazing Flame Clan's territory and began clearing away flammable vegetation and materials from their settlements.

Tens of thousands of people worked together to set the mountain ablaze, and the entire tribe's territory was engulfed in flames.

Half a month later, the mountains within a thousand miles of the Blazing Flame Clan's territory were all shaved bare.

The various vassal tribes also gradually moved into the mountains, carved caves into the mountains, and began to dig underground channels according to the instructions of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

……

South of the Zhushui River.

In the areas occupied by Xiaoyang, the various tribes of the Xiaoyang clan were also chiseling mountains into caves and digging pits into burrows to prepare for potential crises.

In Ji, and even in Yongyi, both humans and other races sensed the impending crisis and prepared for the disaster based on their own experiences.

……

The Blazing Flame Section.

Clan land.

Most of the tribespeople have begun to hide in caves and underground channels.

On the western horizon, golden light and billowing black smoke intertwined.

Looking into the distance, the horizon was distorted by the heatwave.

There's no need to guess anymore.

You can see it clearly; a great fire, stretching from heaven to earth, is burning from the west.

The void was filled with flashing crimson fire energy, followed by earth and metal energy, while water energy was negligible.

Shen Can certainly couldn't miss such a good training environment, so he brought out all the clansmen and martial artists from among his subjects.

Practice, practice hard.

Large pots had already been set up, filled with plenty of meat and broth.

No hunting, no patrolling, just one task: train like crazy.

The clan's territory was filled with Blazing Flame Warriors cultivating from top to bottom.

They were all shirtless, their bodies were bronze, and they were incredibly strong.

Of course, there are also female warriors, but they all cultivate in the back mountains.

Huo Tang stood at the highest point, his body radiating flames, and a black witch knife rang out in his hand.

From the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, the sounds of meditation rose and fell.

Waves of heat rolled in, and dense streams of fiery energy surged fiercely into the bodies of every member of the tribe.

……

Rumble!
A vortex of air swirled up from one of the clansmen, and blood energy followed, attaching itself to him.

Shen Can looked at the figure who had broken through and showed a satisfied expression.

This is the first member of the clan to break through the limitations of being soaked in beast blood, directly using the explosive properties of fire source power to break through to the Heavenly Vein.

Two days after the first person broke through to the Heavenly Vein, a second person followed.

Then, the third, the fourth...

Every day, Shen Can would stand atop the mountain and gaze at the raging fire burning in the west.

I prayed that the fire would burn slower, giving me a few more days to cultivate myself.
