The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1401 - 722: Fire Punishment Trial

...

However, this choice also has inherent dangers, so dangerous that it is hard to determine whether it is better than going through the Fire Punishment Trial.

Just as he was sitting there contemplating, the door to his Immortal Cave silently opened, and Song Junwan walked in.

"You!" Yan Xiaobao was startled, jumped up, and stepped back a few paces. His Immortal Cave was protected by defensive spell formations, yet somehow, Song Junwan had entered.

As she looked up and down at Yan Xiaobao, she smiled mysteriously, seeming to gaze deep into his heart. "I am the Great Elder of Middle Peak, currently serving as the Bloodline Master here. I control every blade of grass and every rock. If I want to enter an Immortal Cave, nobody can stop me.

"Furthermore, why did Brother Ye Xiao refuse to let me enter his Immortal Cave? I didn’t require you to say these words, but instead, I chose to take initiative." With that, she sat on the stone chair, resting her chin on her palm.

Despite her gaze not being seductive, there was something alluring about it, capturing Yan Xiaobao’s heart in a shocking manner. His expression turned gloomy, and then he roared: "Is becoming a Blood Master really that important to you?"

Song Junwan quietly met his gaze, nodding.

"For years, the Song Family has managed the Middle Peak, and our clan has chosen Bloodline Masters for several generations. But this time, things have changed.

"Our Clan Leader made an agreement with the Infinite Clan Leader, one of the terms being that slut Xuemei would have the opportunity to compete for the position of Bloodline Master. In exchange, we gained information about the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Foundation.

"Unfortunately, Song Qu didn’t meet expectations and didn’t reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation. Worse, slut Xuemei unexpectedly achieved the ninth tide. Thus, Quill is most suitable for her. Therefore, I’m the only one with the opportunity to become Bloodline Master!

"That’s why I need your help. As one of your Dharma Protectors, I think I really have hope to succeed!" Song Junwan waited for Yan Xiaobao’s response.

Yan Xiaobao said nothing at first. After learning the details of Xuemei’s involvement, everything became more meaningful. However, he still considered competing for the position to be very dangerous. After a while, Song Junwan continued: "If it doesn’t benefit you too, I wouldn’t ask for your help. Considering you are already a bleeding Elder, if I succeed, I highly recommend you become the next Great Elder!"

For some reason, she blushed slightly, and the charming allure in her eyes seemed to intensify. Almost as if she would throw claws like a shrew into Yan Xiaobao, attempting to drag him in.

Yan Xiaobao coughed lightly, avoided her gaze. Internally, he was still trying to decide the best method. If he didn’t participate in the Fire Punishment Trial, he always had the opportunity to secretly obtain the Eternal Indestructible Relic. Although attempting this would be very risky, participating in the Fire Trial was equally risky.

In one situation, he could hardly control developments. On the other hand, he would have some control. In one case, despite the danger, the chance for success is great. On the other hand, the chance for success is not high, yet still possible.

It took some time, but he made a choice. He clenched his teeth inwardly, looked at Song Junwan, and said: "If you want to become Bloodline Master, then of course I will help you. However, I want to know a bit about this trial. How exactly does the process work? How do you become a Bloodline Master?"

He had already decided that even if he would attempt to help Song Junwan, his own safety was paramount. Perhaps through caution, he could reduce the risk factors.

Song Junwan was quite excited. Her eyes brightened as she looked at Yan Xiaobao, her hand covering her face in a smile. She spoke, her expression softening: "For many people, the details of this Fire Trial are a great secret. But I won’t hide anything from you. First, I must be clear: in every Fire Trial, death is commonplace." Despite Yan Xiaobao already preparing himself for similar news, it didn’t prevent his heart from suddenly starting to pound. Each time he heard the word "death," he felt anxious.

"One reason for this is that the trial is not conducted in the outside world, but in the world beneath our feet...." Though she spoke quietly, her words struck Yan Xiaobao like lightning.

"Beneath our feet?" Yan Xiaobao was astonished, looking down at the ground. Just for a moment, he understood her meaning, his eyes widened, and he gasped.

Song Junwan smiled at his reaction. "When you first arrived at the Blood Flow Sect, you noticed how the sect itself resembled a giant hand, didn’t you?

"The Blood Flow Sect is actually built on top of a giant hand. That hand belongs to a giant submerged below the surface of the Heavenly Bay River. Over the years, after studying the hand, various ’Flow Sect’ techniques were created.

"We also call the giant our Blood Ancestor!" An enthusiastic, worshipful gleam appeared in Song Junwan’s eyes, as if the topic she was discussing was the most important thing in the world. She was not the only one to view the subject in this manner. In fact, everyone in the Blood Flow Sect did.
