I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 589: Chapter 241: Star Dao! (Part 2)

The Medicine-Mashing Rabbits also bathe in the moonlight, and the fragrance of Witch Medicine wafts up from the mortar beneath them.

They rhythmically alternate their positions, dropping the pestles into the mortar.

The moonlight begins to fall like a flurry of snow, completely engulfing the avatar within.

At this moment, Shen Can has already directly controlled the avatar, feeling the gentle moonlight as if soaking in a hot spring.

The star nodes within his body light up, flickering like breathing, absorbing the falling moonlight.

The avatar’s body does not resist the Moonlight Power, but rather welcomes this energy.

...

An entire hour passes, and the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits’ ears droop halfway down.

The moonlight falling from the void like snowflakes begins to thin out.

Finally, stopping the ritual dance, the rabbits are so exhausted that they nearly collapse onto the ground.

Without the assistance of the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits, though Guimoon is bright, the moonlight that descends can no longer illuminate the star points within the avatar’s body.

This is not due to a lack of moonlight, but because the naturally falling Moonlight Power cannot be absorbed into the body due to the absence of a method of extraction.

Through the ritual dance of the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits, the Moonlight Power becomes dozens to hundreds of times more intense. At this level, even without a special method of extraction, one can absorb the Moonlight Power into the body.

This is the same as a Human Race Martial Artist’s cultivation; in a place abundant with Source Power, even without a quenching method, Source Power will still penetrate into the body.

No wonder the Heaven-Riding Race seeks places where starlight is dense; the denser the starlight, the easier it is for the Heaven-Riding Beast to absorb.

In the absence of a corresponding Cultivation Method, the more abundant the energy, the easier the cultivation.

Conversely, a cultivation method is needed for assistance.

Arrange for the Medicine-Mashing Rabbits to rest; they are quite tired. Though the ritual dance pulls in a lot of moonlight, it’s far from enough for a large avatar.

It’s undeniable that the avatar is human. As for why there are so many star points within the body, Shen Can cannot yet explore.

Boom!

At this moment, under the night sky, thunderous sounds occur, as streams of light burst from the Grand Array and explode in the sky.

In the exploding energy, a part of the sky is illuminated, revealing a shadow flapping its wings, disappearing into the night.

Needless to say, this is an anomaly caused by the activation of the moonlight, attracting the attention of the wandering Holy Envoy Race outside, thinking that some incident has occurred within the race, rushing to investigate.

The Holy Envoy Race is closely watching him and the Blazing Flame.

Any slight movement within the Array, and they’re impatient to come and take a look.

Returning to his residence’s Side Hall, Shen Can sits in meditation.

[You begin contemplating the cultivation of the avatar, comparing the absorption of mineral spirit and moonlight within the avatar, finding little difference between the two within the body.

Energy entering the avatar’s body is absorbed by the star nodes within; during this period, no Beast Pattern is manifested, the absorbed energy directly acting on the growth of the avatar’s physique.

You begin attempting to create a Cultivation Method for the avatar based on your own Cultivation Technique.

Initially, using your Five Elements Technique, you spend a hundred years and ultimately fail.

Then, thinking that stars and earth-like gold, iron and stone are similar, you start with the Earth Element Technique, and still fail.

Gold Element fails.

Wood Element fails.

Failure.

Undeterred, finding that the Five Elements Technique cannot provide guidance for the avatar, you start attempting from the Witch Talisman Spirit Array.

A thousand six hundred years later, you fail, but it seems like you haven’t completely failed.

Though the Witch Talisman Spirit Array has not inspired the inception of Cultivation Techniques, you discover that the array has a strong affinity with the star nodes within the avatar’s body.

The star nodes within the avatar’s body, especially when presented on the Star Map, closely resemble the formations constructed by Witch Arrays.

Using star nodes on the Star Map as Array Bases, the constructed Witch Array unexpectedly shows miraculous aspects, with a more stable structure, capable of eliciting a response from the starlight.

You record this discovery, hanging it in your hall, reminding yourself to explore the correlation between the Star Map and array structures after deriving a Cultivation Technique that can absorb the Power of Stars.]

[As the current Five Elements Technique cannot serve as a model for absorbing the Power of Stars, you’re prepared to start from the star nodes within the avatar, relying on the Star Map to see if you can form a structure similar to the Human Race’s Celestial Vein circulation force.]

[Four hundred eighty years later, you attempt and fail, awakening from the derivation.]

Awakened, Shen Can rises, heading to the Ancestral Temple to begin a new day of sweeping.

Though not successful in deriving, this path feels like it holds considerable potential.

In the following months, whenever the Osmanthus Moon shines brightly, Gui Rabbit will bring its tribe outside the Ancestral Temple to surround the avatar and perform ritual dances.

At that time, Shen Can will seize the opportunity to control the avatar, sensing the absorption of moonlight by the star nodes within the body.

...

"The Great Witch Priest, it’s coming again!"

Outside the Grand Array, the Holy Envoy Race watches as a bright moonlight gathers from all directions into the Grand Array.

Originally, the moonlight scattered in the valley appeared similar, but now a large stream of moonlight gathers in one place, forming a jade belt as if falling from the sky.

The moonlight from the surrounding wild mountains appears dim under the contrast of the jade belt.

Once, twice, in the past month, it has happened five or six times.
