I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 158 - 79: Upper Division Blazing Flame!

The Sacrificial Spirit has the instincts of protection and inheritance; the Ancestral Temple Keeper is responsible for worship, communication, and imparting teachings.

In this process, the wish power of the clansmen is indispensable.

Even though the Blazing Flame Tribe held many sacrifices beforehand, none were as powerful as this Great Sacrifice marking the tribe's elevation to an Upper-class Tribe.

Wish power surged like tides into the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron, and Shen Can clearly felt that the soul body had solidified greatly after the slumbering fragmented soul of the Sacrificial Spirit absorbed the wish power and the energy of the offerings.

Before this, despite devouring so many offerings, it only sustained its slow disappearance. But now, with the enhancement of wish power, the soul of the fragmented Sacrificial Spirit has become much more stable.

In addition to the wish power of the Blazing Flame Tribe's people and its subjects, there was also wish power offered by various vassal tribes that came to present tribute.

Indeed, without reaching the stage of an Upper-class Tribe, it is impossible to understand the deeper secrets of an Upper-class Tribe which can lead many tribes.

Inside the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can turned around, realizing that everyone outside was waiting for him.

"Nuo Ritual."

The temple attendant spoke again.

Dong dong dong!

Drum sounds resonated, accompanied by continuous beast roars.

Suddenly, many 'Little Wild Beasts' leaped out from among the clanspeople.

These 'Little Wild Beasts' were clad in tiger hide, cow hide, wolf hide, bear hide, wearing respective wild beast skulls on their heads, imitating the movements of wild beasts, and charged into the plaza outside the Ancestral Temple.

Vigorous and lively, the little ones of the tribe, they were about ten years old, each vigorously displaying their dance moves.

After a series of dances, these children rushed into the Ancestral Temple.

When many clanspeople came back to their senses, Huo Chang had already appeared on the plaza outside the Ancestral Temple, in front of nine Great Tripod Cauldrons burning with blood fire.

Shen Can also walked out of the Ancestral Temple, standing on the highest stone steps outside the Ancestral Temple.

One by one, figures stepped out from the crowd, quickly forming ranks behind Huo Chang, gathering into a long dragon from the Ancestral Temple.

"Sacrifice!"

This shout came from Shen Can.

With the call, the entire tribe bowed toward the Ancestral Temple.

In an instant, the wish power that had almost been absorbed surged again from the tribespeople.

Especially above Huo Chang's head, a vortex-like illusory wave was stirred up, gathering the might of the entire tribe onto Huo Chang.

After the worship, a beast hide scroll slowly unfolded in Huo Chang's hand.

"Chang hereby reports to the ancestors, and announces to the Sacrificial Spirit that the Blazing Flame Tribe is respected by all tribes, and now ascends to the Upper Division, declares to the four corners."

"From today onward, my Blazing Flame Division will carry forth the spirit of the ancestors, inherit the Martial Dao, withstand calamities, and protect the tribes."

Rumbling!

Dong dong dong!

The sounds were transmitted once more from within the Ancestral Temple.

Subsequently, an invisible wave swept out like ripples, shaking the entire Clan Land.

Excited howls first erupted from within the Ancestral Temple, from the previously rushing-in 'Little Wild Beasts,' each rushing out in excitement, glowing with a layer of radiant sheen.

"The ancestors have bestowed blessings!"

Someone shouted.

But it wasn't over yet, the wave continued sweeping toward the Clan Land.

To ensure stability during this tribal sacrifice, Shen Can allocated parts of the Blood Curse Guard and Blood Sea to the Xiaoyang Race Territory, while another portion was responsible for internal security and protection.

At this moment, the wave transmitted from the Ancestral Temple quickly swept over the martial artists with astonishing evil qi and resentment.

Because of excessively devouring Xiaoyang Blood Pill, gathering a lot of Xiaoyang resentment, 'buzzing' sounds emanated from their bodies.

Above their heads, strands of black smoke rose, extinguished into nothingness.

In almost a breath, resentment from part of the Clan Soldiers of the two guards and the Curse Power on the Blood Curse Guard had been greatly dispersed.

...

Outside the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can sensed the blessing from the Sacrificial Spirit which didn't envelop the entire tribe.

This matched the news brought back by Huo Hou from Ji Land, as the blessings from the Sacrificial Spirit appeared random.

This time, blessings were bestowed upon over a hundred children performing the Nuo dance, as well as the martial artists of the Blood Sea and Blood Curse guards bearing cursed resentment.

After ascending to the Upper Division, sacrifices were distinguished, besides clansmen having insights and coming to the Ancestral Temple for sacrifices themselves.

There were also many types of sacrifices, such as the annual sacrifice, drought sacrifices, water sacrifices, locust sacrifices, pestilence sacrifices, and so on.

If the worshiped Sacrificial Spirit is strong enough, it might differentially protect the tribe's safety during these disasters.

At that time, equipped with witch medicine and other means, the tribe would have no problem surviving ordinary calamities.

Of course, if faced with a super major disaster, even the Sacrificial Spirit may struggle to protect the tribe.

If the Sacrificial Spirit is destroyed, the tribe perishes.

Under the witness of the tribe leaders from various tribes, Huo Chang announced to the ancestors and Sacrificial Spirit, with Blazing Flame respected by all tribes, ascending.

Previously, at the Zhushui Riverfront, forty-three tribes swore a blood pact.

This time, over a hundred tribes participating in the tribal elevation Great Sacrifice have once more established a new covenant with Blazing Flame and enshrined it in the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple.

With this covenant declaring to the ancestors and Sacrificial Spirit, the affiliation between the tribes and Blazing Flame was established.

Under this covenant, if any tribe colludes with Xiaoyang, or betrays allies, the tribes may to follow the Blazing Flame Clan Order to obliterate the betrayers.

The tribes obey Blazing Flame, and Blazing Flame wasn't stingy, as the tribal sacrifice would open the dissemination of the Martial Dao.

A strong Blazing Flame Division is nothing; only when the entire Northern Divisions are strong, can they not fear Xiaoyang.

As for the previous Zhushui Covenant, it wasn't destroyed, serving as a witness to tribal elevation, all enshrined in the Ancestral Temple.

After the annual sacrifice.

A great feast was held for the whole tribe, the tribe leaders remained, Tier Three Water Beasts, and big fish were brought to the grill, and barrels of wine were carried out.
