"No, in the early stages, we must remain low-key; we can’t bring people directly into the tribe..."

Rekindling ancestral fire and passing down Martial Dao, not to mention its influence within the Human Race, would attract fierce attack from the Alien Race alone.

Even though the Blazing Flame now has the strength of the Bo Division, it might not withstand the impact of the Alien Race.

Leaning against the bed, Shen Can’s thoughts surged.

He recalled the conversation with Luyang and the Elder Witch Priest during the day; he had mentioned that the Blazing Flame had the Firewood Palace to teach Martial Dao and Witchcraft Path, but did not elaborate further.

Fortunately, there’s still room for elaboration.

"The Firewood Palace is in the Giant Mountain Range, but as for where... I don’t know either; whoever wants to find it can go look for it."

"Our Blazing Flame Division’s Outer Sect Academy will also establish an Outer Sect Academy in Dai Land."

...

After spending a whole night, Shen Can had a preliminary idea, and the next step was to find a way to implement it.

Then, he didn’t linger too long at Star Mountain and headed towards the Eastern Marsh of Dai Land.

Here at Star Mountain, there wouldn’t be any significant danger in the short term.

Heading to the Eastern Marsh naturally meant trying to find traces of the underground Dark River.

It is said that when the Earth Ant swept through Dai Land, many tribes set sail east.

At that time, fearing the might of the Earth Ant, many people fled into the Eastern Marsh.

Sadly, after all this time, no one has returned, whether they found a new home or perished in the marsh remains unknown.

Traversing eastward, Shen Can trekked over mountains and waterways and came across several places destroyed by the Earth Ant.

Though these weren’t former founding sites of the Human Race Bo Division, they were nonetheless prime sites for founding due to their spiritual mechanism.

To prevent these places from reuniting major human tribes, all such ideal landscapes were destroyed.

Like Yongyi, the expansive fields of Dai Land also had countless small branches of rivers.

Crossing mountains and ridges, he reached the edge of the Eastern Marsh.

Along the way, Shen Can also saw an Ant Slave Tribe that submitted to the Earth Ant, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

The Earth Ant relies on these Ant Slaves to extend its control over every corner of Dai Land.

These Ant Slaves possess weapons and inheritancies of Martial Dao, and they truly suppress smaller Human Race settlements, showing utter loyalty to the Earth Ant.

Gazing across the endless wetlands, with the towering Giant Mountain standing to the south.

In Dai Land, there were no legends of Xiangliu, only tales of the vast and unpredictable marshes where one could sail without seeing the edge.

The absence of Xiangliu did not mean the absence of other powerful Wild Beasts.

Shen Can didn’t plan to explore the marsh alone either; he intended to find intelligent aquatic beasts like he did in the Giant Mountain Range to gather information.

These beings possess human-like intelligence and know quite a lot.

...

It’s been over a year since Shen Can came north to Dai Land.

The group of clansmen who followed him into the Giant Mountain didn’t return to the clan land after being sent back to the valley but instead searched for various spirit plants and spirit medicines for the clan.

Knowing there were Tier Four Lord Beasts deep within the Giant Mountain Range, they didn’t venture further.

A team of Celestial Vein Ninth Layer combat power clansmen was divided into several small teams, beginning their search around the valley.

The wizards from the Medical Division and the Medicine Division meticulously examined the mountain foot ravines, valley secluded cliffs, and cavernous gorges around the valley.

They now dared to explore dangerous places and valleys they once wouldn’t touch.

In these areas, rarely visited by Wild Beasts, they indeed left behind quite a number of herbs and some fruit trees and spirit plants.

Spirit plants are defined as similar to witch medicine, having the ability to gather source energy, something ordinary foliage cannot do.

Usually, in places abundant with source power, one or two such plants might be found.

As for their grade, they weren’t considered high.

But the Blazing Flame Clan People were undeterred, bringing back whatever they found to the valley and planting them outside the Ancestral Temple.

This way, in a short time, they dug up over two hundred varieties of spirit plants and fruit trees from the surrounding mountains of the valley.

The Ancestral Temple, originally situated beneath the Cyan Simurgh Spirit Tree, now even the former clan city was beginning to be overshadowed by spirit plants and greenery.

This refreshing scene delighted the Innate Little Spirit Race.

Every newly brought spirit plant caught their attention.

At night, they would absorb moon essence, releasing Moonlight Liquid over these newly relocated spirit plants, allowing them to recover quickly.

The gathering of spirit plants and fruit trees also enriched the wood attribute source power outside the Ancestral Temple, even causing an increase in the primordial vein hidden below.

Despite it being midday, under the shade of the spirit plant trees, it didn’t seem scorching; several figures were busy tending to the witch medicines brought from the mountains.

In collecting spirit plants, they naturally didn’t forget to gather witch medicines, and some were planted in the Spirit Plant Forest according to their nature, without processing.

Under the care of the Little Spirit Race, these witch medicines quickly adapted to the new environment.

However, not all news was good; the rapid growth of weeds in the Spirit Plant Forest was not so welcome.

If not managed in two days, they would cover the land.

Therefore, people from the Medicine Division came daily to clear the weeds, preventing them from absorbing all the source power.

During this time, the Little Spirit Race rested on the Cyan Simurgh Spirit Wood, some even hanging directly from it, swaying gently with the wind.

The Cyan Simurgh Spirit Wood has now reached a height of a hundred meters, covering a radius of three li, with flourishing branches and leaves, exuding spiritual light.

And the Ancestral Tree of the Little Spirit Race had begun to merge with the roots of the Cyan Simurgh Spirit Wood.
