Chapter 66: Shocking the Ancestral Lands of the Human Race

Although the Human Race ancestral lands are very far from here, Dashan and the others think that the strongest individuals within the tribe still have a chance to arrive before Lu Yun begins his sermon!

At that time, they can just happen to let them spread the cultivation methods Lu Yun taught to the entire Human Race! After making this decision, Dashan led the tribal chiefs of several tribes together toward a special wooden house in the center of the Zhushan Tribe.

This place is the most heavily guarded area of the Zhushan Tribe; even during a grand banquet like the one yesterday, the dozen or so human warriors responsible for guarding this place did not leave.

Because what they are responsible for guarding is precisely the most important thing in the Zhushan Tribe—the Fire of Inheritance! In every human tribe, there is a cluster of Fire of Inheritance passed down from the ancestral lands.

If the Fire of Inheritance exists, it represents the tribe living on and on.

Conversely, if the Fire of Inheritance is extinguished, it represents the destruction of that tribe!

At this moment, when Dashan and the others arrived before this wooden house, they saw several human warriors guarding the wooden house with vigilant expressions.

The guards here adopt a rotation system; although the guards cannot attend the banquets within the tribe, there are people in the tribe who will send food over to them, allowing them to eat in turns.

Looking at the oily sheen still on the faces of these guards, it was clear they had only just finished eating not long ago.

"Tribal Chief!"

Seeing Dashan and the others arrive, the several guards immediately performed a salute.

Dashan also returned the salute to them, and only then did he lead the other tribal chiefs into the wooden house.

Opening the wooden house door, a feeling of warmth suddenly rushed over, accompanied by the smell of firewood.

In the center of the room, a pile of flames burned fiercely, while all around were stacked numerous bamboo, firewood, and other fuel.

And by the side of the fire, two elders were guarding it, one on the left and one on the right.

One of them was eating, clearly also food sent from outside.

While the other was observing the condition of the flames, adding some firewood to it from time to time.

Dashan and the others all performed a salute to the two elders.

Dashan said: "Two tribal elders, you have worked hard!"

The elder who was eating just shook his head slightly and said: "Compared to other clansmen who have to go out and fight with Demon beasts, what hardship can we be considered to have? The ones who are truly working hard are you."

And the elder who was adding firewood raised his head to look at Dashan and said: "You have come over, is it to use the Fire Inheritance?"

Dashan nodded solemnly and said: "That is correct! There is a very important matter that needs to be reported to the ancestral lands immediately!"

The two human elders looked at each other.

"I will do it!"

The elder who was eating stuffed the unfinished meat in his hand into his mouth in one bite, and said with an expression of enjoyment: "To be able to eat such delicious food before dying, I have no regrets in death!"

The other elder shook his head and said: "Let me do it! I am older, and it is time for me to make a contribution to the tribe."

The method for various human tribes to contact the ancestral lands is called Fire Inheritance!

This was created by one of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race—Suirenshi.

It requires a large amount of human essence blood to trigger the Fire of Inheritance to complete the transmission of information.

Unless it is a last resort, it is generally not used.

Because if it is used, it basically means sacrificing the life of a tribal elder!

This is also the responsibility of the elders responsible for guarding the Fire of Inheritance.

They guard the Fire of Inheritance, do not need to go out to fight with the Demon Race, and can enjoy the offerings of their clansmen; they might enjoy this for a lifetime, but they might also have to offer up their entire body's essence blood at any time to complete the Fire Inheritance.

At this moment, the two elders were actually arguing over who should complete the Fire Inheritance. Dashan hurriedly said: "Two tribal elders, this time we perhaps do not need to sacrifice anyone, so you do not need to argue."

Both tribal elders were stunned.

One tribal elder asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

Dashan explained: "Thanks to the Immortal Lu Yun passing down cultivation methods, and the Great Witches of the Wu Clan bringing a large amount of meat, we are now extremely vigorous in energy and blood. If we each take out a portion of essence blood, I think we will be able to recover very quickly, so there is no need for the elders to sacrifice themselves!"

"This... it seems that is indeed possible!"

Although they had long been prepared to sacrifice for the tribe, if they could avoid death, how could they be single-mindedly seeking it? In the past, they did not want other clansmen to contribute essence blood together, only because the young and strong clansmen needed to maintain their combat power to protect the tribe's safety and go out hunting at any time; conversely, sacrificing an elder who could no longer fight was the way with the lowest cost.

But now the situation is clearly different.

Not to mention that everyone in the tribe has surging Qi and blood, even with nowhere to vent it, just the fact that there are many powerful figures of the Wu Clan in the tribe has increased the safety factor of the entire tribe by who knows how many times.

In this situation, it is naturally possible to be flexible!

It just so happens that the strongest tribal chiefs of the surrounding tribes are all here at this moment.

Therefore, after some discussion, the several tribal chiefs each released a portion of their essence blood and placed it in a stone basin.

And just as Dashan and the others had guessed, releasing a portion of essence blood each had almost no effect on them; instead, they felt they had released quite a bit of energy and felt very comfortable!

Seeing this, the two tribal elders were reassured, and then they began to perform the "Fire Inheritance"! They drew mysterious patterns around the Fire of Inheritance with that essence blood, and at the same time, they also drew symbols on their own bodies.

Next, they began to dance a strange dance around the Fire of Inheritance, and their mouths were chanting, emitting a strange rhythm.

This is actually a type of Witchcraft learned from the Wu Clan.

The difference is that the Wu Clan has Witch Power to perform it, while the Acquired Human can only use the baleful aura within the essence blood as a medium to perform it.

The baleful aura of the essence blood released by Dashan and the others was very surging, and the quality was far higher than that of the elderly tribal elders, so the effect of performing the Fire Inheritance at this time was excellent.

Very quickly—

"Whoosh!"

A curtain of fire shot up from the Fire of Inheritance! That curtain of fire originally appeared blood-red, but it quickly changed to transparent, and within it, a blurry human figure slowly emerged.

Seeing this, Dashan immediately performed a respectful salute: "Zhushan Tribe, Dashan, pays respects to Suiren Ancestor!"

A voice came from that human figure in the curtain of fire: "What has happened?"

Within the words, there was a hint of worry.

After all, the cost of the Fire Inheritance is too great; if there were no urgent matter, no human would use it.

Dashan hurriedly reported: "Suiren Ancestor, do not worry. What I am reporting this time is a great joyous event!"

"A great joyous event?"

Suirenshi on the other end of the curtain of fire was clearly somewhat surprised and asked: "What exactly is it?"

Dashan hurriedly gave a brief account of everything Lu Yun had done since appearing in the Zhushan Tribe, and finally, he solemnly explained that Lu Yun was preparing to preach the Way to the Human Race.

After hearing this, Suirenshi on the other side of the fire screen was stunned for a moment, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

"Are you not trying to deceive me? My Human Race... has actually given birth to such a great sage?!"

"It is absolutely true!"
