I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 470 - 198: Jin Bo Division!

The witchcraft spirit bans spread across the clan land like a fleeting blossom, yet the people of the Blazing Flame Division did not withdraw their gazes from the sky for a long time.

Over more than ten years, tens of thousands of wizards and apprentices, and millions of clan members, laid the foundation of the Blazing Flame Tribe with their own hands, bit by bit.

In these more than ten years, the Blazing Flame Division cultivated a large number of artisans and true ’wizards’.

They are no longer the same as the witch cultivators of other Bo Divisions in Yongyi; they measured the land with their hands and feet, and with their own divine sense, imprinted the Witch Talisman Spirit Bans on houses, waterwheels, flying ships, plows, and bronzeware... bringing the Witch Talisman Spirit Bans close to every clan member within the tribe.

...

"Hahaha..."

Huo Chang’s hearty laughter echoed atop the stone tower of the clan land, finally subsiding after a long time.

Acan had told him before that the completion of the Witch Ban marked the time for the Blazing Flame Division’s advancement to Bo Division.

Since Yanran’s promotion to Bo Division, the clan members had been impatient for a long time, and now they would finally see their wishes fulfilled.

...

"Disseminate the decree, immediately head to Jishan, Yanran, and other divisions to deliver the clan announcement. Our Blazing Flame Division will advance to Bo Division in a year, sincerely inviting various divisions to witness our advancement to Bo Division."

Following the decree issued by Huo Chang in the name of the Clan Leader, numerous figures dashed out of the clan land.

Although the advancement to Bo Division was set for a year later, preparations needed to start immediately.

For instance, offerings and arrangements for the clan sacrifice all needed to be prepared in advance, to avoid any mistakes on the day of the Great Sacrifice.

Moreover, with this advancement, the Blazing Flame Division was set to undergo an internal reshuffle, with a new Clan Leader ascending to the upper position.

As for the inviting tribes, there weren’t actually many. The Blazing Flame Division was truly an edge-tribe at the borderland.

Despite trading continuously to the south over the years, there were not many allied tribes.

For unfamiliar tribes, Huo Chang naturally wouldn’t extend invitations.

Besides, the Blazing Flame Division’s advancement to Bo Division relied on their own development, not on others coming to witness the promotion.

Apart from delivering clan announcements to Bo Divisions like Jishan, the Blazing Flame Division also had some vassal tribes, and these also needed Command Messengers to deliver the Blazing Flame Clan Orders.

...

Huo Chang’s voice delivering the clan order rumbled like thunder, even reaching the Ancestral Temple here.

Accompanying it, Huo Xian, resting in the side hall, heard it clearly.

He got up from the bed, grabbed the staff standing beside him, and hobbled to the hall door.

His smile formed wrinkles; they were indeed becoming Bo Division.

"Bo Division, ah, a dream I never dared to dream of before."

Ayu, standing by and watching Huo Xian with a hunched figure emerge, stepped forward to assist, only to be waved off by Huo Xian.

"I can still walk on my own."

Huo Xian, with his staff, made his way to the Ancestral Temple.

Were it not for the increasingly better development of the Blazing Flame Tribe and the excellent witch medicine available to him, he, at this age over a hundred, should have long turned to dust.

Inside the Ancestral Temple, a scent of wood permeated, seventy-two giant wood pillars, large and adorned with purple-gold lines, supported the temple’s roof, with witch rune spirit bans flickering upon them from time to time.

Ordinary clan members entering would feel as though they were seeing a sky full of stars upon witnessing these flickering spirit bans.

Over the years, Shen Can, during his free time, imprinted some of the techniques and ideas he derived onto these spirit woods.

Thus, creating this dazzling scene where words and spirit bans intertwined brightly.

The temple was incomparably solemn, lined with sacrificial tripod cauldrons, emanating mysterious auras.

After entering, Huo Xian stood quietly in front of the sacrificial platform for a long time without speaking to Shen Can.

He muttered to himself, and after mumbling, he left the Ancestral Temple on his own.

Upon seeing this, Shen Can had long since gotten used to it; the age of Teacher Wuxian was too old, his physical vitality was dissipating, and even using treasure medicine couldn’t reverse the tide.

This was the determination of lifespan, something he couldn’t change.

Currently, apart from resting in the side hall, Wuxian merely sat outside the Ancestral Temple basking in the sun, his eyes fixated on the temple itself.

As for cleaning the Ancestral Temple, Huo Xian had been unable to do it for several years now.

The Ancestral Temple returned to silence; Shen Can sat cross-legged, his aura surging, and the Five Elements Source Power poured continuously into his body.

After reaching Tier Four, cultivation became a gradual process. Even though treasure medicine occasionally allowed for a sudden advancement, most of the progress relied on accumulated effort over time.

He had already discussed matters concerning the sacrifice with Huo Chang, and all subsequent arrangements would be handled by Huo Chang.

...

Jishan Bo Division.

"Clan Chief, the Blazing Flame Division has sent a clan announcement; in a year, the Blazing Flame Division will advance to Bo Division, inviting the Clan Chief to witness it."

The Jishan Clan Master took the clan announcement handed to him and glanced at it, speaking in a gentle tone.

"The Blazing Flame Division, after being dormant for so long, is finally advancing to Bo Division."

After a moment, Lord Jishan continued, "The Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper is quite a formidable person."

A rule passed down in Yongyi dictates that having a Tier Four Divine Treasure means becoming a Lord Bo.

Any upper-class tribe, suddenly having a Tier Four Divine Treasure Realm martial artist, would hurriedly proclaim it far and wide, eager for everyone to know they were about to achieve Bo Division status.

Even without much, they would establish the name of Bo Division immediately.

But the Blazing Flame Division was different; after these twenty to thirty years, it was finally advancing to Bo Division.

"Prepare a generous gift; I’ll go personally."

Lord Jishan spoke; he indeed needed to go personally; when Yanran Bo Division advanced, he personally went.

But Yanran was different; he knew Yanran well, but this Blazing Flame Division, located in the Northern Border of Jishan, he couldn’t quite comprehend.

Especially more than ten years ago, regarding the downfall of Xiaoyang, retreating to the northeast of Ji Land.

The strength exhibited by the Blazing Flame Division didn’t seem like that of a tribe established in a short period.
