I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 451 - 191: Yinglong Subdues the Corpse, Wielding the Sword with a Severed Arm—Where Does the Path of Blazing Flame Lead?

"Don’t overlook any clan member, including our internal reserves of armor, grain supplies, and manpower."

"What’s the reason for taking stock within the clan? Is there another battle coming?"

"Are we perhaps going to fight in the sand lands to the west?"

"I agree, fighting Xiaoyang is definitely better than idling in the clan land."

...

Upon hearing Huo Chang’s words, the eyes of the elders and commanders present brightened.

"Everyone, get busy. Complete the inventory as soon as possible and report back."

Without answering the elders and commanders’ questions, Huo Chang dismissed them and walked to the windowsill to gaze into the distance.

Honestly, even he himself doesn’t know what to do next.

Develop into the Bo Division?

He’s just waiting to hand over the position of clan leader to Huo Shan.

Advance to the Marquis Division?

Even Lord Yongshan is only the assembly leader, the head of the Yongyi Divisions, and he can’t even imagine what the Marquis Division looks like.

Huo Chang vaguely felt that the Blazing Flame still needed a reform, one that should originate from within the hearts of the clan people, not from some superficial system.

Otherwise, the Blazing Flame is bound to follow the old path of the Yongyi Divisions.

Half a month later, Huo Chang, carrying thick statistical data, went to find Shen Can.

And at this moment, Shen Can was also busy.

Ever since sensing he was being spied upon last time, he has been particularly vigilant.

After reaching his current stage of cultivation, the feeling of being watched is almost never wrong.

Yet, even with the Sacrificial Spirit, he didn’t sense anything, which stirred a sense of crisis within Shen Can.

This also made him realize that with the Blazing Flame Clan people scattered in various settlements, the clan land is far more extensive than other tribes.

In such circumstances, it’s easy for outsiders to slip into the clan land and spy.

Hence, he planned to attempt crafting a large Sensing Witch Artifact.

Simply put, it involves crafting a series of smaller witch artifacts as sensing points.

This artifact can be a stick or a stone.

The appearance doesn’t matter; it can be crafted into different shapes according to the geographical environment, making it easier to conceal.

The witch artifacts will be placed throughout the tribe’s mountains and rivers, in every nook and cranny, atop mountains, the peaks of Giant Woods, etc., connecting through internal runes to sense changes in the surrounding environment.

As for those flying across the skies, towers can be erected throughout the clan land, arranged in formations, crisscrossed in networks.

By observing changes in the witch artifacts on the tower tops, it can be determined if anything crosses from above.

Furthermore, these small witch artifacts require a large one as the central hub.

In his view, given the current clan’s resources, creating the small artifacts isn’t too difficult and is achievable.

Shen Can drew his concept on blueprints, then proceeded with deductions, annotating the corresponding sequence of Witch Talismans on the blueprints.

By then, his disciple Huo Chong could follow his concept to research and craft simultaneously.

"Acan."

Upon sensing Huo Chang’s arrival, Shen Can paused his work and saw Huo Chang enter, holding a bundle of mulberry bark paper.

"Acan, I had the clan people recalculate the clan’s strength. Look at where our road leads next."

ps: Yesterday, I had great ideas, planning to add more Chapters, but today I’ve hit a writer’s block and it’s killing me.

The entire day I am out of sync. I had a rough outline for this part before, but somehow I can’t write it down. I’m not sure why, it’s just not coming to me, and the more I force it, the blanker my mind gets.

The storyline is at a turning point; the tribe needs a clear goal. In recent Chapters, the Blazing Flame Division has lost its ’goal.’

I’ve been pondering how to describe this goal over the past few days, but the more I ponder, the more it eludes me.

Subsequent to the tribe advancing to the Bo Division, it won’t involve changing maps; the territory will gradually expand outward with the Blazing Flame as the center, gradually turning into a new ’Ancestral Land.’

Today I’ll secure the daily presence with just this update. Let me rest for a night, and I’ll continue the battle tomorrow.

Once I clear it up, I will supplement the missing parts of the subsequent developments.
