I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 434 - 186: Meteor from the Heavens

The fire qi continued to surge in the Spiritual Land, as Huo Shan stepped forth with heavy footsteps, surrounded immediately by a group of wizards.

"Hurry, check the extent of damage to the Divine Treasure."

"Check the state of the beast patterns."

...

From above, Shen Can scanned Huo Shan’s body with his divine sense, and his expression relaxed afterwards.

Although there were cracks in the Celestial Vein and Divine Treasure within, these cracks were not large and didn’t significantly impact the physical body.

A group of wizards quickly checked Huo Shan’s condition, compiled the data, and then dispersed.

As for Huo Shan, having just broken through, he still needed to stabilize his realm and arrange the newly opened Divine Treasure.

Shen Can also returned to the Ancestral Temple.

The Herbal Treasure Spirit Pills prepared by Yan Ling were not taken out, not because he was reluctant for Huo Shan to use them, but because Huo Shan’s injuries didn’t warrant these pills.

Huo Shan’s breakthrough this time absorbed a lot of fire source power, including the subsequent wood source power that was induced.

Once wood and fire complemented each other, the power of fire blood qi doubled directly, assisting Huo Shan in the final blow to open the Divine Treasure.

According to the method he taught Huo Shan, it involved stabilizing the physical body and triggering the blood qi wave after wave to impact.

There’s no need to violently crash through; a gradual approach would suffice, or even slowly grind open the Divine Treasure.

Like water wears away stone, using softness to overcome hardness.

Extend the process of breaking open the Divine Treasure, treating the bottleneck as a dam, breaking it slowly.

Huo Shan did exactly this, and of course, he wasn’t too rigid, not fully adopting the water wearing stone method, but broke open the Divine Treasure with just five attempts.

During this, his own fire source power flourished with the help of wood, enhancing the effectiveness of his blood qi.

Huo Shan’s breakthrough proved that this breakthrough technique for the Divine Treasure is feasible.

During Huo Shan’s breakthrough, a significant portion of the fire source power he absorbed was wasted.

But this isn’t really Huo Shan’s problem; it’s a common issue with Tier Four Divine Treasure cultivation. Huo Shan’s absorption efficiency was already considered high.

According to the previous records of Lord Giant Wood, during his breakthrough of the Divine Treasure, his absorption of Giant Wood essence didn’t even reach twenty percent, with the remaining eighty percent wasted.

Lord Giant Wood didn’t care about the wasted essence energy during his breakthrough; in his view, breaking through the Divine Treasure is worth even multiple times the resources.

About half a month later, Huo Shan stabilized his realm and used some witch medicine to repair the cracks within.

Afterwards, Huo Shan obediently went to the Martial Division, where he recounted his breakthrough process to the wizards responsible for recording in detail, and had a face-to-face ’defense’ with dozens of wizards from the Martial Division.

A group of wizards questioned Huo Shan for most of the day before he rubbed his head and emerged from the Martial Division’s dungeon.

"Goodness, I’ll never come here again."

Outside the door, Huo Shan let out a long sigh of relief; this was more exhausting than cultivating.

The dignified Divine Treasure lacked any majesty; these junior wizards asked such tricky questions that some he couldn’t even answer.

...

Huo Yunn brought the summary of Huo Shan’s Divine Treasure breakthrough experience and came to the Ancestral Temple to see Shen Can.

"The Desolate Beast Battle Body has forged a powerful physique, ensuring an unbeatable position during the breakthrough.

The Five Elements complement each other, with wood generating fire, enhancing the power of blood qi.

A gradual impact process, like waves, protects the physical body from excessive injury."

Huo Yunn’s voice echoed within the Ancestral Temple, "Our Martial Division has compared it with the Blood Dragon’s Hideaway Technique.

The Blood Dragon Hideway’s power is overly violent, focusing only on breaking open the Divine Treasure, with little regard for the safety of one’s physical body.

The continuous impact method Huo Shan Lord used seems to separate the energy, but instead it is more stable; we temporarily call it the Overlapping Waves Technique.

After collective discussion among many wizards in our Martial Division, they all feel that the real difficulty in breaking through the Divine Treasure lies in the cultivation before the Divine Treasure.

Before cultivating the Desolate Beast Battle Body, a martial artist’s physical body is not solid. It is precisely the secret technique of the Desolate Beast Battle Body that stabilizes the physique and ensures an unbeatable position, allowing the blood qi to bombard.

We want to apply to quietly select some young tribesmen within the clan for War Body cultivation experiments."

...

"Does your Martial Division believe the physical body is key?"

"Yes, we have previously communicated with the Clan Guardian Beast Dragon Horn.

It says that when refining Meat Beast Pill, one must withstand the bombardment of the essence within the Beast Pill.

If the physical body is not strong enough, not to mention refining the essence, it will be torn apart.

This is very similar to martial artists using blood qi to impact the Divine Treasure; if the body is not strong enough, it won’t withstand and will break.

The Desolate Beast Battle Body, taught by our master, just compensates for our Human Race’s shortcomings in mimicking Wild Beast cultivation without obtaining the robust physique of Wild Beasts."

Huo Yunn’s point was something Shen Can had long realized.

Humans and Wild Beasts are not one race, and it is normal for mismatches to occur while mimicking the cultivation of Wild Beasts.

He could think of this; over the long years, numerous Human Race predecessors must have thought of this and made improvements accordingly.

Perhaps in other Human Race reproduction areas, something similar to the Desolate Beast Battle Body has long appeared, as there are so many humans that someone must have glimpses of inspiration.

Of course, it might not be called the Desolate Beast Battle Body.

Shen Can agreed to the proposal of selecting young people for War Body cultivation, and Huo Yunn did not stay in the Ancestral Temple but left after saluting.

Huo Shan’s promotion meant that Blazing Flame Tribe officially had a Human Race Divine Treasure.

Less than a month after Huo Shan’s breakthrough, the Golden Cloud Sword-toothed Tiger also successfully broke through to Tier Four.
