Chapter 1402 - 722: Fire Punishment Trial (2)
Yan Xiaobao blinked, but did not respond.
"The Blood Ancestor is a giant, but like us, he possesses flesh, bones, five Yin organs and six Yang organs....
"Anyone who wants to become a Blood Master must obtain approval from the Blood Ancestor. This recognition comes in the form of crystals that grow within the organs of the Blood Ancestor. At the Bloodline Master Temple on Middle Peak, there’s an entrance leading into the peak itself. By tracing the veins within the fingers, we can enter the body of the Blood Ancestor.
"Each peak corresponds to one of the five Yin organs, and the Middle Peak is connected to the heart. The crystal there is the goal. The first to obtain the crystal receives the recognition of the Middle Peak and can harness the Qi and blood power of the entire peak. They will have the ability to suppress the cultivation bases of all cultivators there and, even more impressively, enhance the fighting capabilities of all cultivators! That is a Bloodline Master!"
Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath. What he learned was more shocking than ever before. Although he had some understanding of the Bloodline Master, he realized how truly exalted their position was.
The difference between peaks with bloodline and peaks without is so immense it defies description!
"I’ve heard a story...." Yan Xiaobao said.
"Are you talking about the legend of the Blood Demon?" Song Junwan asked with a smile. Yan Xiaobao nodded.
"This legend originated from conclusions drawn by generations of Clan Leaders. They all believe that somewhere within the body of the Blood Ancestor lies a legacy crystal!
"The person who obtains this legacy will not become a bloodline holder but a Bloody Devil, a position far above that of a bloodline holder. In fact, that status is even above that of the Clan Leader. Because the Blood Flow Sect practices the cultivation of spirits through blood, if a Blood Demon were to appear, it’s speculated that their mere thought could diminish the cultivation bases of the entire sect by fifty percent, from outer sect disciples to the Clan Leader!
"Simultaneously, their single thought could increase the combat abilities of the entire sect by 30%! Simply calling such a person ’Blood Demon’ is insufficient, hence there exists another term, known only to a few in this domain. In fact, only the Clan Leader of the highest family of the sect is aware of this.
"The Lord of Blood!" she whispered the words, yet they seemed to carry immense power.
"But it’s just a legend. A legend. Over the years, generations of Clan Leaders have searched the remains of the Blood Ancestor. Despite searching most places, they haven’t found any inheritance.
"I hope that one day, in my lifetime, I can witness the resurrection of the Blood Demon Lord. Even the Clan Leader knows that once the Blood Demon Lord comes, it will either elevate the Blood Flow Sect to unforeseen glory or drag it into ruin.... Therefore, some Clan Leaders hope the Blood Demon Lord never comes, as for my Song Clan Patriarch, he is not among that group."
Song Junwan chuckled. "But enough about the legend. Let’s talk about the fire punishment itself.
"Your main purpose is to help me obtain the crystal. The most crucial factors leading to this are combat capabilities and speed. You must protect me along with other Dharma Protectors and help me defeat Xue Mei within the heart!
"As long as I can enter the heart chamber first, the crystal is mine!" Song Junwan’s eyes were filled with confidence.
"How many Dharma Protectors will be there?" Yan Xiaobao asked.
"Xue Mei and I can each bring twenty Dharma Protectors." Song Junwan calmly replied.
"That many!?" Yan Xiaobao said, a bit shocked. "What if one of those Dharma Protectors enters the heart chamber before you?"
In theory, any Dharma Protector could become a Bloodline Master. All they need to do is enter the heart chamber first, extract the crystal, and then absorb it."
Yan Xiaobao blinked. If what Song Junwan said was true, how could she prevent this from happening? It was presumed that aside from being meticulous in choosing which Dharma Protectors to bring, she had some method of maintaining control.
Song Junwan chuckled softly but didn’t provide further details. As Yan Xiaobao suspected, both she and Xue Mei had methods of maintaining control, given special command badges by their respective Clan Leaders.
In fact, only those with command badges could enter the heart chamber.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Xiaobao gritted his teeth and looked down at the ground. He was not interested in striving for the title of Bloodline Master. After all, he wasn’t even a true disciple of the Blood Flow Sect.
He merely wanted to enter the Great Elder’s Immortal Cave. Thus, he needed to help Song Junwan become a Bloodline Master to be accepted as an elder, which would perfectly resolve all issues.
Yan Xiaobao had been in the Bloodline Sect for many years now, and finally, his goal was within reach!
He raised his head and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will be at the Bloodline Master Hall!"
Song Junwan took a deep breath and looked at Yan Xiaobao, her eyes shining brightly. She covered a smile, stepped forward, then leaned in, speaking into his ear, with her lips nearly touching him, warm breath brushing his face.
"If you grow up, many things might happen between us...."
Suddenly, her face flushed, as if she didn’t know why she had said that. With a final look at Yan Xiaobao, she slipped away. "The temptress moves again!" The fragrant, silky aroma entered Yan Xiaobao’s nose, creating a mysterious feeling. He watched Song Junwan leave, his heart anxious and deeply guarded.
