Chapter 184: Blessed Heaven''s Bowl


    --- Chapter 181 ---


    On a massive floating ind, countless masters roamed and searched for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree''s genuine body.


    Baek Ain and hispanions strolled around like it was a park. Some groups have encountered them, and each ended up horribly.


    "Woah, so violent." Yao Ling''er poked a defeated Dou Qi Practitioner with a stick.


    "Teacher, this ce is more dangerous than I thought."


    Baek Ain chuckled, "Everyone wants a piece of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, sopetitiveness is pumped to the highest level right now."


    "We have better odds staying on the outer ringpared to people who rush to the center like fools they are."


    "Panic." Huo Zhi and Gu Xun''er murmured simultaneously.


    "They panic because the heart and seed of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree possess too much of a value." Huo Zhi gazed at the far ahead. Her n members also visited this floating ind.


    Gu Xun''er sighed helplessly, "Just a speck of hope was enough for these people to throw their lives."


    "I mean, who wouldn''t? Let''s not mention the Bodhisattva Heart first. One chance of bing Dou Saint increased by a leap with just Bodhisattva Seed alone."


    "Well, let''s start with your small tasks." Baek Ain pulled out Roc''s Spine and ced it on his back. "Ling''er, grab any medicinal herbs or ingredients you saw on the way."


    "Identify them and report to me in three hours."


    "Zhi''er, you may fight Magical Beasts in the area. I tasked you to kill at least five hundred of them, and each target must be Rank 7 or above."


    "As for Xun''er, you stay on my side and refine this crystal." He added while throwing a ck crystal ball at Gu Xun''er.


    Gu Xun''er caught the ball and sucked a cold breath, "A-Abyssal Core, one of the hardest materials to refine under Dou Venerate Realm."


    "Can you do it?" Baek Ain teased her with a smile.


    "I''ll try." Gu Xun''er answered weakly.


    "Not a very positive answer, but good enough."


    "What about you two? Do you have any problem with my orders?"


    "No." Yao Ling''er responded calmly.


    "No. Maybe I was too excited after hearing the fight, hehe." Huo Zhi giggled as she clenched her slender hand.


    "Well, go." Baek Ain waved his hand and ced soul marks on his disciples so he could help them when dangers appeared.


    "We will be back soon, Teacher~!" Yao Ling''er faded with blue-colored electricity.


    Huo Zhi also nodded and vanished, but her electricity was crimson red.


    Gu Xun''er stared at the ck crystal ball and summoned her me, refining the material slowly.


    As the two disciples went toplete their tasks, Baek Ain brought Qing Lin and Gu Xun''er to the east area of the floating ind. They faced several Magical Beasts and subdued them.


    "Uh, there is something unpleasant ahead." Qing Lin''s nose twitched as she smelled something in the atmosphere.


    "Yes." Even Gu Xun''er frowned and agreed with Qing Lin.


    Baek Ain looked far ahead with Origin Ashen Eyes and discovered arge amount of Heaven and Earth''s essence. He smacked his lips and nced at the two, "It''s a treasure."


    "Let''s check it."


    They went to the smelly area and discovered a massiveke ofva.


    Weirdly, theva released intense sulfuric smells and glowing orangish-yellow light that was unpleasant for one''s senses.


    "Hmm, what is this ce called?"


    "I don''t have any memory of it..."


    [You''re lucky, Host] Alicia suddenly replied.


    [This thing is called Blessed Heaven''s Bowl. It was ''actually'' created due to the condensation of Magical Beasts'' bloodline and Heaven and Earth''s energy]


    [Upon absorbing it, there is a rge'' chance your bloodline would evolve or just be stronger]


    [Don''t mind the unpleasant smells. It''s a ''merely'' defect of too much bloodline piling up at the bottom of the Blessed Heaven''s Bowl]


    [I rmend you absorb 70% of Blessed Heaven''s Bowl]


    ''Why not all?''


    [About that, absorbing more than 70% would cause you to get bloodline''s resentment of a hundred thousand, if not millions, of Magical Beasts]


    ''I''m not afraid of the spiritual attack left behind by dead things, Alicia.'' Baek Ain shook his head helplessly. This system of his is looking down on him too much.


    [Because it''s not a spiritual attack, Host!]


    [Jeez, bloodline''s resentment is condensed bloodline''s curse. It affects your body, not your mind or soul]


    [Trust me, leave the 30% behind] Alicia confidently said.


    Baek Ain shrugged, "Okay then."


    He didn''t n to take everything for himself anyway. There are also Qing Lin, Lan Rou, and Yi Xian on the floating ind.


    "It seems like we have some visitors." He nced far ahead and noticed they weren''t the only ones who discovered this ce.


    "Let me handle it." Qing Lin said while summoning several serpent-type Magical Beasts from her pupils. Intense green light enveloped the Blessed Heaven''s Bowl, and everyone was ''suddenly'' swarmed by countless powerful Magical Beasts.


    Gu Xun''er covered her mouth in shock, "Master''s Wife, I don''t know that you''re this powerful."


    Qing Lin smiled and responded, "Even though I don''t like fighting, if it''s for my husband, I''m willing to do anything."


    "He has done more than this."


    "Anything..." Gu Xun''er mumbled. She recalled when her big brother Xiao Yan saved her from a bully when they were young, but that person is no longer the same.


    Painful, very painful.


    Gu Xun''er remembered thest time she met Xiao Yan at the Jia Nan Academy.


    He ran away from the prison, leaving her behind.


    "Sorry, Xun''er. But I must go..."


    Gu Xun''er closed her eyes and felt someone rubbing her head.


    "Teacher?"


    Baek Ain put a smile on his handsome face and asked, "Why look so down?"


    "It''s nothing..." Gu Xun''er replied weakly.


    "Don''t worry, Xun''er. I would never leave you behind." Baek Ain seemingly read her mind. "This is my responsibility after taking you as my disciple."


    After that, Baek Ain walked to the Blessed Heaven''s Bowl and absorbed theva into his palm. The Heaven and Earth''s energy, alongside the rampant bloodline, coursed into his veins, circting rapidly.


    Baek Ain could feel the Ashen-Eyed Behemoth''s bloodline be much thicker within a few breaths, gaining immense vitality.


    He sighed, "That''s seventy percent."


    "Theke still looks the same, though."


    [Of course, you absorbed the essence, not theke] Alicia retorted him.


    ''Okay, okay, chill, Alicia.'' Baek Ain''s mouth twitched.


    He nced at Qing Lin and said, "Wifey, your turn."


    "Absorb 1/3 of it."


    "But it is smelly..." Qing Lin pouted slightly.


    Baek Ain chuckled, "Hehe, just block your smelling sense and absorb it."


    "Okay..." After some reassurance, Qing Lin nodded and went to theke, mimicking Baek Ain''s method of absorbing the essence. Of course, she was not as smooth as Baek Ain.


    "Do you want to absorb the essence as well, Xun''er?" Baek Ain asked his third disciple.


    "No, I don''t think thiske will benefit me. My hand is still full with your task already, Teacher." Gu Xun''er showed him that she was still refining the Abyssal Crystal.


    "Is that so?" Baek Ain sat down and checked the system''s map.


    Xiao Yan is currently on the other side of the floating ind.


    Baek Ain wasn''t worried he wouldn''t meet the protagonist because they''d eventually encounter each other in the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree''s main body.


    ''Oh yeah, I should tell Lan Rou and Yi Xian about the Blessed Heaven''s Bowl.'' Baek Ain immediately contacts his other wives.


    He whistled peacefully, "We just entered and are up to a good start already."
