I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 450 - 191: Yinglong’s Fallen Corpse, Severed Arm Gripping the Sword—Where Does the Blazing Flame’s Path Lead? (2)

The Great Witch Priest stared blankly at the Profound Bird bronze statue, where dense runes flickered in the shimmering cyan light.

When he first became a Witch Priest, it was this exact scene.

Hundreds of years later, it remains this scene, without any change.

In the depths of the runes, which the Great Witch Priest could not perceive, there seemed to be a brilliant yet illusory pathway.

After the Jade Scroll was sucked into the Profound Bird Divine Statue, it was swiftly enveloped by endless runes and transmitted out quickly.

"Clang!"

The Jade Scroll was shrouded by numerous runes, crossing vast lands and mountains, and suddenly fell out from a circular rune exit.

Piled below were Jade Scrolls like small mountains, identical in design and color.

There are several such falling exits, with the Jade Scrolls piled into small mountains below, some already covered with a layer of dust.

It’s evident that no one has looked at these Jade Scrolls for a long time.

The Jade Scrolls are piled together like mountains.

This is a mysterious place, with immensely abundant Five Elements Source Power, forming a colorful glow floating in mid-air.

A towering Giant Wood had been completely broken at the root, with fragments of Witch Artifacts embedded at the break, and the shattered remnants of war chariots and giant beast flesh melded together, indiscriminately piled at the tree root.

The blood and sap from the Divine Wood flowed out, forming a big river that stretched far into the distance.

On the river floated two wing-broken Profound Birds, more half-submerged in the blood water giant chariots, beast corpses, and human corpses.

The fallen Battle Banner had long stuck to the blood-mud, obscuring the words above.

Amidst the fallen Divine Trees, a figure crawled on the ground, surrounded by trickling water vapor, creating sporadic local rain.

This was a Kui Ox, with its massive head pierced with a huge hole, and its brain long devoured.

Beside it, another similar figure lay collapsed on the ground, one colossal Kui leg like a heavenly pillar stretched between giant, ridge-like Divine Wood branches.

Above the Divine Wood, in a vast nest, a massive Yinglong over three hundred zhang in length hung upside down.

The dragon wings drooped down, with blood dripping along the edge of the wings.

In the nest, several enormous Profound Birds were sound asleep, with rift-like wounds on their bodies surging with billions of tiny runes, seemingly trying to heal.

One of the Profound Birds had a long sword engraved with a Kui Ox Pattern stuck in it, with a severed arm tightly gripping the sword hilt.

The sword body was entirely embedded into the Profound Bird’s body, with a circle of darkness around the wound constantly clashing with the bird’s vitality, preventing the wound from healing.

Aside from the Profound Bird pierced by the long sword, other Profound Birds, whether dead or in slumber healing, had wounds seeping with golden blood, with faint flashes of black.

It seemed like some toxin, causing the slumbering Profound Birds to occasionally let out a wail.

...

As time passed, the Blazing Flame Tribe’s trial period had already passed halfway, with less than a thousand Trial Takers still participating.

Outside the Clan Mountain, many clan members had arrived from their respective settlements, especially some parents who had come early.

Thirty stone panels were hung on the Stone Tower in the Clan Land, marked with the names of the Trial Takers in order.

The order of these names was based on real-time messages sent from various outposts, refreshed every two to three days.

Currently, ranked first is Yan Jiang.

Ranked second is Yan Liu.

Ranked third is Yan Ling.

Fourth is Lu Chen.

Fifth is Stone Sword.

...

Huo Chang, seeing the trials proceeding smoothly, also returned to the Clan Land.

Choosing talent to cultivate is important for the tribe, as is the tribe’s future development.

Because after the trial, the biggest thing for Blazing Flame is to steadily advance to the Bo Division.

But before advancing to the Bo Division, some issues within the tribe need to be resolved, especially concerning clan members’ internal emotions and thoughts.

In the high hall of the Stone Tower, over a dozen figures were seated.

Huo Chang sat at the main seat, Huo Shan sat at the first position under his left hand, and the other four Elders and five Commanders were present.

Huo Chang began, "As you all know, the Yanran Division is about to advance to the Bo Division, and our Blazing Flame is actually not far off, we could even say we can advance to the Bo Division right now.

But the Bo Division is not an end, we haven’t even set a specific advancement date, yet I see many clan members already complacent.

Not only do ordinary clan members have this mindset, but many in the Clan Soldiers do too. Do they all think advancing to the Bo Division means there’s nothing to worry about anymore?

The nearby Xiaoyang was taken down, but that doesn’t mean we are without danger."

Boom!

Huo Chang slapped the table, reinvigorating the spirits of the clan members present.

It’s not just the clan members, even they are idle now.

Cultivation and combat strength have reached the Celestial Vein Ninth Layer, advancing to the Divine Treasure?

Is there even such an opportunity?

With Xiaoyang taken down, there are no adversaries in the vast north of Ji Land now.

The Heart Strength naturally relaxed a bit.

Huo Chang, who strolled around the tribe every now and then, saw clearly the state of many clan members.

Just like martial cultivation, the tribe was accumulating strength before, but now some people are or are about to deflate.

The people in the hall remained solemn, and after a while, Huo Chang finally spoke again, "Let’s now begin a clear assessment of the tribe’s strength.
