Fallen Orchid Sect's Fate (5)
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 01:53:53 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 97 ---
As Baek Ain watched the array's entrance closed on its own, he let out a disappointed sigh. Han Feng brought a pretty good line-up and could win against the Fallen Orchid Sect without much of a problem, especially with that woman and white-haired elder on his side.
However, Baek Ain won't let him be.
[At your best state, you can easily defeat them, host] Alicia commented amusingly.
Baek Ain smiled and replied, "I know."
"I'm just testing things and letting my parasites recover first, Alicia."
"Don't you see how that woman used a Teleportation Talisman to run away from me?"
"Still, to think she would possess Impure Draconic Bloodline." Baek Ain shook his head. "It's too good to be a coincidence."
Baek Ain said so because the Divine Beast: Behemoth is known as Dragon Eater. After all, Dragon retained rich Life Energy suitable for Behemoth's consumption and growth.
At first, Baek Ain plans to hunt a magical beast with a draconic bloodline, but the woman in Han Feng's group comes right to his front door.
Her bloodline should be able to enhance Baek Ain's Ashen-Eyed Behemoth's Blood.
If Han Feng's personality stayed the same as the original, he should have replanned the whole thing to snatch the Six Path Reincarnation Flame and recruit a Dou Venerate Expert.
"Things are getting rowdy." Baek Ain created ten avatars, spreading them around the mountain of the Fallen Orchid Sect.
...
...
Baek Ain returned to the Orchid Palace and saw Lan Rou sweating all over her head. "What happened? You look like someone who just ran a whole marathon?" He asked while checking her condition.
Lan Rou sighed and answered, "Fixing the array is more tiring than I thought."
"I've become rusty."
Baek Ain rubbed her cheeks gently and commented, "Hehe, you need more oils inside?"
A blush appeared on Lan Rou's face as she pinched Baek Ain's left arm somewhat shyly. She didn't open her mouth again and leaned on his broad chest, purring softly.
They stayed in this position for quite a long time until a cough disturbed them from behind.
"Hmph! It must be nice hugging Sister Rou. To the point, you forgot that she wasn't the only lover you have."
Baek Ain and Lan Rou looked back, seeing Yi Xian with a cute frown on her face. They laughed as she looked like an angry panda for some reason.
"Come, come here then." Baek Ain patted the free position of his other arm.
Yi Xian rolled her eyes and commented, "I'd like to, but you two needed somewhere else right now."
Lan Rou grasped Yi Xian's words and said, "Oh, They opened the seal on the Orchid Tomb already? It's faster than I expected."
"Orchid Tomb?" Baek Ain tilted his head in confusion.
Lan Rou smiled weakly and explained, "Orchid Tomb is the ancestral location of the Yin Yang Orchid Clan. Even though I hated this clan to the bones, I had to admit the late elders are cruel to himself and the clan for a better future."
"It's located exactly below our feet, one kilometer underground."
"A place where all Lan Clan's Essence Blood flowed back. Even if we got killed far away from the homeland, the blood shall return to Orchid Tomb and get added into a special container made of 100.000 years old gold jade."
"It's the last hope for new Lan Clan members to survive and regain their glory."
"You should have heard me mentioning the despicable ritual, right?" A bitter expression formed on Lan Rou's face.
Baek Ain nodded and returned, "Didn't the Sect Master and Grand Elder burn down the ancestry text about the ritual?"
"Yeah." Lan Rou closed her eyes. "The ritual I was speaking about is to imprint Lan Clan's members and basically curse their blood to return into the Orchid Tomb."
"All members, including the Old Geezer Patriarch, Late Elders, and even my former self, were baptized with such a method."
"However, by placing down this blood curse. Lan Clan's members couldn't get revived under any circumstances, and their souls shall fade into nothingness."
"If Lan Clan's members don't return to the clan once every five years, they would experience extreme pain and lose all their martial prowess starting from exploding meridian, energy pathways, dou qi, and eventually..."
"Their Lives."
"Even Half-Saint and Saint Realm cannot reverse such a curse..."
"As for Dou God? I could only dream about it." Lan Rou self-mockingly laughed in defeat. Even with her talent boasted as the best in the Yin Yan Orchid Clan, she couldn't reach Saint Realm and perished shortly after.
Baek Ain hugged Lan Rou and said, "It's fine."
"Everything will be fine now."
Lan Rou melted into Baek Ain's embrace and mumbled happily, "Mm."
'These two...' Yi Xian was speechless.
"Don't forget, you also have me, Sister Rou!"
Lan Rou giggled and responded, "Of course, Yi Xian is adorable."
The three went underground and saw Yafei waiting with Lan Tianxue, Lan Mingxi, and other elders.
[Ding! Do you want to sign in to the Yin Yang Orchid's Blood Pool?]
Baek Ain was surprised for a second and replied inwardly, 'Yes.'
[Ding! Congratulations, host!]
[You have received 1x Extreme Yin Yang Origin Stone, 1 Ton of Impure Gold Jade, and 1x Immortal Curse Technique: Heavenly Restriction]
[Name: Extreme Yin Yang Origin Stone]
[Type: Heavenly Material]
[Grade: S+]
[Description: Extreme Yin Yang Origin Stone is a heavenly material formed under the extreme area where Yin and Yang clashed and synergized over ten thousand years. It contained pure energy beneficial for mental training and fixing one's body to achieve perfect mortal refinement]
[Name: Gold Jade]
[Type: Earthly Material]
[Grade: A+]
[Description: Born with the purest metal element a continent could birth, Gold Jade is a unique mineral with a property to store earthly things or mortal related. Even if blood got accumulated in Gold Jade for a million years, it wouldn't evaporate nor be affected negatively as long as it gets contained properly]
[Impure Gold Jade is a great medium, but Pure Gold Jade is even better because it could grant additional effect or blessing into earthly material(especially one's physique]
[Name: Heavenly Restriction]
[Type: Unorthodox Dou Technique]
[Grade: SS]
[Description: An unorthodox branch of Dou Technique called Curse Technique by many demonic practitioners as they utilized it with their reversed Dou Qi Flow]
[Heavenly Restrictions is Immortal Curse Technique developed by Yin Yang Orchid Clan and mastered by its Grand Elder: Lan Jue. By binding one or two aspects of a body, Heavenly Restriction could boost other parts to another level]
[Yin Yang Orchid Clan's Grand Elder used Heavenly Restriction on two primary aspects, Blood and Soul. And the result of that was the clan's blooming greatness for over one hundred years. Unfortunately, even with the half-baked Immortal Curse Technique, the Yin Yang couldn't evade fate and was crushed by others]
'Holy shit, no wonder Lan Rou hated this guy. He's nuts...' Baek Ain blinked at his system panel's rewards. The first two rewards are somewhat despite their usefulness.
However, Heavenly Restriction exceeded them by miles.
After all, Heavenly Restriction possessed the same grade as King of Parasite. Even though comparing a skill and a dou technique is weird because they have their worth, Heavenly Restriction offset it.
It's a strong technique with its weakness.
Yes, Heavenly Restriction is not invincible.
According to Lan Rou's previous words, Heavenly Restriction needs to get renewed after a certain period, so if some conditions weren't "fully." fulfilled, the target would experience a deadly threatening situation.
Baek Ain's eyes show a trace of enlightenment as he finally understood how this clan functioned in the past. He stared at Lan Rou's fair back and could only imagine the burden she carried as Orchid Ancestor or Lan Rouxi.
"Let's do this." Baek Ain shook his head and patted Lan Rou's shoulders.
Lan Rou kept a firm expression and stared at Lan Guan, causing the woman to tremble.
"There are 31 of you who have impure Lan's bloodline. Since you have opened the Orchid Tomb, I'll transfer the remaining pure blood with you."
"Remember, this is for the Fallen Orchid Sect's survival and Yin Yan Orchid Clan's revival."
"If any of you dared to go back on your words, I'll personally behead you..." Her cold eyes stared at the elders of the Fallen Orchid Sect.
"Let's start."
"Y-Yes, Orchid Ancestor!"
