I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 205 - 94: Wind Master and Rain Master! (Part 2)

"This is the most gifted fledgling of our clan, and also my child."

Placing down this fledgling, the Cyan Simurgh spoke, "Our clan resides on the Spirit Tree, possessing both wood and wind Dao rhymes. When Little Sparrow hatched, it was wrapped in a green glow, with the sound of the wind howling."

After landing, Little Sparrow felt the surrounding atmosphere and immediately curled up.

The fledgling of an Auspicious Beast is quite similar to a Human Race baby.

Though a bit timid, it still gazed around with its two wide eyes.

"Chirp chirp."

At this moment, Little Sparrow flapped its wings, and strands of wind energy appeared beneath them. It even called toward the Wind and Rain Master Painting.

"How about this Cyan Simurgh accompanying you in cloud formation and rainfall in the future?"

Shen Can gathered Little Sparrow into his arms and looked at Little Dragon Fish.

"Blub blub."

Little Dragon Fish glanced at the Cyan Simurgh, then at Shen Can, and finally fixed its gaze on Little Sparrow.

"That could work, but I can't be expected to feed it milk, can I? I don't have any..."

Shen Can pointed at Little Dragon Fish, "If you're not sleeping in the lake, are you eavesdropping again?"

"I wasn't." Little Dragon Fish shook its head vigorously.

The Cyan Simurgh spoke, "Little Sparrow eats insects and beast meat. I will have the clan take care of it. When you cultivate, you need to take it with you first."

The Cyan Simurgh is clearly the elder bird, whereas Little Dragon Fish isn't yet considered fully mature.

Moreover, the Cyan Simurgh could discern the divine rhythm in the painting at a glance and then brought over its little one.

The Cyan Simurgh clan practices both wind and wood attributes. After being severely injured, the Cyan Simurgh was able to stabilize its wounds without the Wild Beast's mucus exacerbating the erosion, precisely because of its innate wood attribute power.

Though naturally compatible with wind and wood, it doesn't mean both are strengths. Among the three hundred plus Cyan Simurghs, most have average talents in both attributes.

If not, the clan would have produced a Tier Four member after existing in the mountains for so long.

As the leading bird, the Cyan Simurgh's bloodline potential is nearly exhausted. In its peak state, it is comparable to a Human Race Celestial Vein Seventh Heaven, yet its strength hasn't grown for decades.

"May this painting be shown to other members of my clan?" the Cyan Simurgh spoke again.

"Certainly."

Shen Can nodded. The appearance of this painting surprised him. He didn't expect the Treaty Book to remind Elder Sacrificial Spirit of the Cloud Formation and Rainfall Map.

He now suspected that this elder wasn't a muralist in their lifetime, was he?

In the Great Wilderness, many tribal records are illustrated because it's a simple and easily understood method, allowing one to grasp the essence at a glance.

Thereafter, other birds of the Cyan Simurgh clan cautiously entered the Ancestral Temple, with some bowing to the Divine Tablet and Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron.

Evidently, before entering, the Cyan Simurgh had briefed them one by one.

Unfortunately, none of these Cyan Simurghs, unlike Little Sparrow, created a windstorm when they saw the painting.

Only they knew how much divine rhythm they could perceive in the painting.

From then on, Little Dragon Fish had a companion, and when going out to bring rain, it would also carry Little Sparrow on its back.

Both are considered juvenile critters, and given the prolonged lifespan of Auspicious Beasts, the extra decades lived by Little Dragon Fish are negligible.

Every day, the two—a fish and a bird—would come to observe the Wind Master and Rain Master Painting, sometimes bringing some offerings to place on the offering table.

Because of the Wind Master and Rain Master Painting mural, Shen Can expanded the Ancestral Temple.

The Ancestral Temple now had the structure of three rooms, originally twelve zhang wide, now expanded to eighteen zhang, with thirty-six wooden pillars standing tall.

The structure of the three rooms remains unchanged; the central hall is the sacrificial place of the Ancestral Temple, with Divine Tablets and Sacrificial Artifacts displayed above.

The east side was redesigned for auxiliary rituals. As the number of clan members increased, so did the number of fallen warriors. The main Divine Platform has limited space, and over time, some divine tablets from the main platform are moved to the side auxiliary Divine Platform.

The west side is designated for placing the Martial Arts Diagram Stele.

The five Celestial Vein Techniques were engraved onto steles erected on the west side of the Ancestral Temple. Any clan member who practices and takes these techniques must come to the Ancestral Temple to honor their ancestors and the Sacrificial Spirits.

Previously, the wide dissemination of techniques was due to critical circumstances, where some rituals had to be bypassed naturally.

But as the tribe has gradually grown larger and the new generation of clan members matures, there is no longer a need for them to be forced into urgent breakthroughs during crucial times.

From the moment of breaking through the Celestial Vein, clan members could come to the Ancestral Temple to observe and continue their cultivation of subsequent methods.

Currently, the clan has a limited number of techniques, styles, Divine Techniques, and Witchcraft. As these expand in the future, Shen Can even plans to build a separate Hidden Skill Hall next to the Ancestral Temple.

The Wind and Rain Master Painting is also housed here to tell the clan members that the Simurgh and Little Dragon Fish, who have established a treaty with the clan, are siblings who can fight side by side, not beasts.

...

Within the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can used his Divine Sense to detect Elder Sacrificial Spirit, and since nothing transmitted back for a long time, he withdrew his Divine Sense.

Today, communication with the Sacrificial Spirit had ended.

As long as he was in the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can would be busy from early morning.

From dawn, clan members would bring fresh dew-covered fruits, cooked meat broth, and roasted pheasants and hares to the Ancestral Temple.

They also brought back some peculiar stones, wood, and bones collected from outside.

Some clan members rise even earlier than he does.

This is when Shen Can would also take the opportunity to satisfy his own hunger, especially enjoying the meat broth cooked by Aunt Yue's family. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Besides offerings from the clan members, children would also come seeking sacrificial meat.
