I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 162 - 80: The Remnant Soul from 8,000 Years Ago!

The only consolation is that the current Blazing Flame Tribe's ability to withstand disasters has greatly improved. It will no longer be wiped out with a slight push, as was the case when it was a small tribe.

Huo Chang did not stay long in the Ancestral Temple. After seeing the Sacrificial Spirit settle down, he hurriedly left.

The signs of drought are becoming increasingly apparent, so preparations must be made as much as possible.

Now Huo Chang acts with increasing decisiveness, quickly convening a tribal meeting to discuss strategies for drought resistance, water storage, and the cultivation of drought-resistant grains from multiple angles.

At the same time, a second reform of the tribe was also conducted.

This reform is a continuation of the first reform.

The older generation of clan elders from Huo Xian's era have stepped down. In fact, the replacement of old and new clansmen had already begun when Huo Qii became the Great Elder.

As a result of this further reform, Shen Can's eldest disciple, Huo Chong, became the Elder of the Military, responsible for the forging of weapons and armor within the tribe.

The second disciple, Huo Yunn, became the Elder of Agriculture, in charge of cultivating Spirit Rice, millet, rice, and Witch Medicine within the tribe.

The other disciples, Huo Fu, Huo Ye, Huo Long, Huo Tuan, and Huo Jiang, held concurrent positions such as in the Beast Taming Garden, Witch Doctor, and lecturing in the Witch Hall.

Mainly, because other witch disciples within the tribe have not yet been trained, and the number of third-generation witch disciples is sufficient, Shen Can plans to begin more detailed and targeted training.

For instance, to make up for the lack of specialist wizards in the tribe, the training direction for this third batch of witch disciples includes beast taming, bird taming wizards, and mineral exploration wizards, among others.

As the Great Elder, Huo Qii has more responsibilities, overseeing not only the Blazing Flame Division but also registering and cataloging all subordinate clans and tribes.

Blazing Flame must at least know how many tribes are under its jurisdiction, their general strength, the number of clan soldiers, and their output.

Only in this way can appropriate recruitment limits be set during times of war and the tribe's own tangible strength be roughly assessed.

The various tribes need to contribute to Blazing Flame, and Blazing Flame must understand each tribe's output, especially if there are any rare resources.

This way, the contribution types and quantities from each tribe can be arranged, making sure that the tributes from the vassal tribes are used as effectively as possible.

Huo Shan leads the Blazing Flame Guard and formally initiates the internal selection of the Flame Martial Guard, which is personally overseen by Clan Leader Huo Chang.

In addition, due to the presence of a large number of subordinates and vassal tribes, a Temple Guard was formally established to handle affairs among the clanspeople, subordinates, and vassal tribes, such as merits, disputes, etc.

Huo Zhang and thirty-five others were appointed to serve as the Punishment Prison, in charge of rewards and punishments, recording merits, and discerning right from wrong.

Additionally, a clan prison was established, not only to detain those who have committed crimes but also to temporarily hold any Blood Witches, Blood Warriors, or evildoers who slaughter their own kind in Blazing Flame or the vassal tribes.

As for capturing the Blood Witches and Warriors and guarding the clan prison, this responsibility was temporarily given to the Blood Curse Guard, with some Martial Artists from the clan soldiers allocated as Prison Guards to assist the Blood Curse Guard in defending the prison.

The first task of the Blood Curse Guard after taking over the prison was to send a group outside the tribe to search for Blood Witches and Blood Warriors.

Huo Chang also allowed this, as Blazing Flame must govern all divisions, protecting them not only from Xiaoyang but also from being invaded by Blood Witches.

This is the first time the Blazing Flame Division has served as the Sect Leader Division, and all roles are being explored from scratch. It's inevitable to be a bit chaotic initially and that not all positions are filled yet.

Concerning this, problems are solved as they arise, shortcomings are addressed, and improvements and refinements are made step by step.

The internal reform of the tribe was turbulent for several days, yet it did not delay the daily offering of Wild Beast sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple.

Shen Can, while nurturing the two Sacrificial Spirits in the Sacrificial Artifact, also deduced the Five Desolates True Beast Stake.

This Body Tempering Technique is more comprehensive than the Kui Ox Fist, referencing five types of Wild Beasts: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and eagle as its foundation.

After several days of deduction, Shen Can discovered that the Blazing Flame Tribe's practice of the Kui Ox Fist could completely replace the deer form within it.

If this is the case, the Kui Ox Fist would expand into the Five Elements Refining Method.

"Ape... bones... tendons..."

"I was ambushed by Earth Ants."

"The location is in the mountain."

Inside the empty Ancestral Temple, whenever the Divine Sense is released, it would capture fragmented whispers subconsciously revealed by the Sacrificial Spirit.

Shen Can had long since gotten used to this over these days.

But at this moment, he held his breath, focusing his Divine Sense on the copper artifact.

"In the valley, there is black mist, there are four..."

...

A month later.

Within the Giant Mountain Range, approximately four thousand miles northeast of the Blazing Flame Tribe, around majestic undulating mountains standing like a forest, towering like giant swords.

A valley shrouded in hazy black mist was surrounded by figures clad in black armor, while densely packed giant crossbows were embedded at high points, vigilantly aimed at the surroundings.

Shen Can stood at the mouth of the valley looking into the canyon, with his disciple Huo Fu beside him, holding the Sacrificial Artifact inhabited by an elder from the middle-aged generation.

At this moment, the elder from the Sacrificial Artifact manifested, gazing at the entrance to the valley with renewed ripples in his eyes.

"This is the place where I was ambushed and killed by Earth Ants. They nailed me here with Sheep Horns while I was severely wounded, intending to prevent my soul from returning to the Clan Land."

"I never imagined, after eight thousand years, that my soul did not dissipate, and my remnant soul can temporarily regain clarity."

The deep valley, veiled in foliage and rolling mist, grew denser further inward.

Reassessing the valley, the middle-aged man floated toward its depths.
