Ridiculous Quest and New Dou Qi Method
🕑 Added 2023-05-16 06:32:29 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 83 ---
"Fuck..."
"Fuck, this annoying goddess."
A frustrated groan escaped Baek Ain's mouth as he read the new quest's content, grimacing because of the ridiculous objectives.
Baek Ain just became strong enough to step into Central Plains, and the Goddess of Opportunity takes her first day off the quest's administering cooldown to ruin his mood.
He wanted to beat the shit something just because of this quest.
[...]
[I tried my best to hold her back, host]
[I-I'm powerless...] Alicia sounded sad in Baek Ain's head.
Baek Ain sighed and said, "It's okay."
"I'll find one way or another in the future to solve this annoying ass problem. Hopefully, soon."
[Name: Destroy Hall of Soul]
[Objective: Destroy Hun Clan, Hall of Soul, and anyone related to them, especially the chief of Soul Hall and Hun Clan's Patriarch(0/30.693)]
[Failure's Penalty: Sign-In Function confiscated permanently, Innate Skills sealed until further notice]
[Time Limit: Two Years]
[Reward: A Complete Record of Burning World(SSS), White Tiger's Sovereign Path(SS+), and Tome of Opportunity(Unknown)]
Baek Ain's mouth twitched in annoyance when closing this system panel because the objectives were too ridiculous for his level. The chief of Soul Hall is Mid-Stage Dou Saint, three major realms higher than him.
That's like comparing ants to a whole whale.
And let's not mention the Hun Clan's Patriarch, who is basically the main antagonist of Battle Through the Heaven. This guy reached the Realm of Dou God near the story's end until Xiao Yan finished him.
Even though Baek Ain possessed Soul Protection(Unknown), he isn't confident fighting someone like Hun Clan's Patriarch. They could still imprison him, like when they hold onto Xiao Yan's Teacher(Yao Chen)'s soul in the original story.
So what if Baek Ain's soul is protected, but his loved ones aren't?
He'd rather die than see them suffer.
Baek Ain worried about the irregularity of this alternate universe, but now his main focus split into two. There is only one solution to all of these problems.
Become stronger.
Standing under the waterfall, the coldness of running spring water doesn't bother Baek Ain.
He glanced up at the opening blue sky and seemingly gained more clarity, making his hazel-gold eyes shine more brilliantly than before.
Far away from the Alternative Universe of Battle Through the Heaven Baek Ain currently resides, a breathtaking beauty sat on the bed and smiled faintly.
If other constellations witnessed this, they would be shocked.
After all, a woman who never smiled for a thousand eons finally cracked her emotionless facade and smiled a little. Behind that smile, morbid curiosity and expectation overflowed onto a mortal's soul.
...
...
Baek Ain shook his head and noticed his harem was grilling river fish in a wooden cabin near the waterfall. He wanted to try something and felt the "Spatial Strength." in the surrounding.
[Sixth Sense]
[Cinder's Eyes]
[Parallel Thinking]
He imagined himself as a person inside a durable and invisible cocoon, transporting the cocoon to a different location.
"Teleport." Baek Ain disappeared from the waterfall, crashing into someone in the cabin. Well, it's his first try.
"Hyaa~!" A sweet voice escaped someone's mouth.
Baek Ain's wet hair fell and covered his eyes, but he could clearly see Qing Lin below him. She trembled like a kitten and looked at his eyes nervously.
"B-Boss Ain, are you finally going to accept Lin's Feelings?" She asked bashfully, blushing to the redness of a tomato. "S-Suddenly pushing me to the ground like this."
"Hoho." The ladies watched this scene unfold with great interest. After all, Qing Lin is younger than them and matches with Baek Ain quite well.
An apologetic smile appeared on Baek Ain's face as he patted Qing Lin's head like an older brother. "Not now. You should enjoy your life first, Qing Lin." He replied calmly.
"Since you had been serving the Snake People from a young age, you deserved to know the world better."
"You're fifteen, right?"
"Mm." Qing Lin nodded lightly.
Baek Ain chuckled and replied, "Three years. Eat a lot and grow bigger, okay."
"T-Then, after three years or less. I'll accept your feelings." Baek Ain kissed her forehead, coughing to erase shame from his face.
"Hehe, someone is shy." Yafei teased him.
"Pfft, I bet he'd jump onto Qing Lin voluntarily if she's a milf." Yi Xian laughed, which left Baek Ain speechless.
Lan Rou shook her head and commented, "Lunch is ready."
"Take a seat."
"Yes, ma'am!" 4x responded immediately, making Lan Rou looks like a drill sergeant.
"..." Lan Rou.
After lunch, Baek Ain pulled Lan Rou into his room and told her to release Dou Qi. Lan Rou shrugged and showed her Dou Qi, causing Baek Ain to frown because his Cinder's Eyes detected too many impurities in her.
It's time to change Lan Rou's Dou Qi Method.
If this cycle of Dou Qi keeps going, Baek Ain is afraid Lan Rou couldn't reach Dou Ancestor Realm.
Oh yeah. Baek Ain's lovers reached Dou Emperor Realm a week ago.
Well, with tremendous difficulty.
Yi Xian used almost all her poison to form Golden Poison Core, which sucked her Dou Qi clean. She reached Dou Emperor but with the price of being unable to fight for a month.
Yafei is also in the same situation, where her Yin Dou Qi concentrates too much and needs to get stabilized first. She did consume so many elixirs to increase her cultivation speed, but it won't affect her negatively.
The only problem is Lan Rou. She didn't have a crisis like the other two.
However, Her Dou Qi is less pure and weaker, which is horrible for someone who just entered the Dou Emperor Realm.
"Why the long face?" Lan Rou tilted her head.
Baek Ain sighed helplessly and said, "Let's change your Dou Qi Method."
Lan Rou was "actually." taken aback and returned, "Eh? But it would convert my Dou Qi down, right?"
"Yes. Your cultivation will get downgraded by several minor realms, or the worst case, to the very bottom. With my assistance, you shouldn't be worried about the latter part."
Lan Rou fell into an awkward silence for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. "Okay, let's do it."
"I trust your decision, Ain."
"What's the name of the new Dou Qi Method?"
Baek Ain chuckled and answered, "It's one of the best Dou Qi Methods on this continent, and no one has it besides me."
The secret? He synthesized it.
"The Dou Qi Method's name is Holy Primal Ghost Sutra."
"Holy Primal Ghost Sutra..." Lan Rou somehow liked the name.
They sat on the bed as Baek Ain instructed her, "Recite the formula and comprehend it slowly."
"Let Dou Qi cycle throughout your body."
"Mm."
An hour passed, and Baek Ain smiled proudly because Lan Rou caught on to the Holy Primal Ghost Sutra, converting her Dou Qi to Primal Ghost Dou Qi.
Lan Rou's cultivation downgraded from 1-Star Dou Emperor to 1-Star Dou King in just one breath. It finally stabilized when reaching 9-star Dou Spirit, having her body emitting a grayish aura.
She slowly opened her eyes and mumbled, "So strong."
"I can feel my Dou Qi becoming stronger and purer."
"Good." Baek Ain smirked in amusement. "We'll stay in the cabin until you can survive in the Central Plains without me as the worst case possible."
"This also applies to Yafei, Yi Xian, and Qing Lin."
Lan Rou looked at Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes and responded, "Maybe I should call you Instructor Ain from now on?"
"Uh..." Baek Ain laughed awkwardly.
