Chapter 507: Yamata no Orochi's Blood (RAW)

While Uriel had been chatting with Zhao Bao, who was now managing the young disciples, Azazel's panicked voice rang in his mind.

'Qin Shi Huang's men have gone insane! They just killed Sun Wentai!'

"..."

Uriel was frozen on the spot. His gold and silver robe also flickered as if it could read its master's emotion.

Uriel took a deep breath and turned away from Zhao Bao, "Bad news. Sun Wentai has just been killed."

"What?!"

Zhao Bao was shocked. Just an hour ago, they were still in the hotel together.

It was too sudden.

"Who killed him?!"

"Immortals."

"Don't they suffer the Heavenly Punishment for harming mortals nowadays?!"

"They do. I don't know if they're bold or simply retard, but they just crossed the line."

Uriel vanished. A few seconds later, he reappeared in the Star Mug Shop.

The headless corpse of Sun Wentai was there. However, there was no trace of his nascent soul.

Miaomiao and Huang Gongfu sensed that Uriel had finally shown up. They glared at him, blaming him for reacting so slow.

"What took you so long? I thought you were our guardian," Miaomiao grumbled.

"For your information, I'm YOUR guardian, not THEIR guardian. Don't expect me to wipe your ass every time you make a mess."

Uriel flickered his fingers, sending Miaomiao and Huang Gongfu outside of the shop. He also turned around to face the coffee shop manager.

The coffee shop manager groveled on the ground as he knew the status of Uriel.

"Sir, those people are immortal subordinates of the Immortal Qin Clan."

"I can tell from their karma and the residual memory of this place," Uriel helped the manager up. "How many of them?"

"P-Pardon?"

"How many immortals? Do you know their names?"

"Y-Yes... I know one. The leader of the gang is Li Si. There were seven of them, but five left before it happened."

"I see."

Uriel took the corpse and the head of Sun Wentai. Then, he came out of the shop to meet Miaomiao and Huang Gongfu.

The archangel entrusted the body to the elder, "Be sure to bring him home."

"... Yes," Huang Gongfu shed tears.

"As for you, Mao Miaomiao."

Miaomiao clicked his tongue. He wanted to curse Uriel and Azazel for not allowing these people to send voice transmission or any other form of communication with them.

Had Sun Wentai been able to contact Azazel or Uriel directly, this wouldn't have happened!

Uriel could read Miaomiao's expression. He snorted and seized his robe. Then, he teleported back to the top floor hotel room, where Fang Meirong was still resting there.

"Stay here until the Clan Lord Tournament starts. Don't come out no matter what happens."

"Yeah, right. Will there be war soon?"

"Probably, but it won't implicate you. Stay out of it, and be a good boy for once."

"Tsk."

Uriel swiftly left through the balcony and flew away.

After Uriel had gone, Miaomiao turned to the live stream chat and asked the viewers a question.

"Could anyone please clarify me about the Heavenly Punishment and the Protection Rights of Mortals? Can immortal kill mortal now?"

Ding

[Macho Joshua has sent you messages.]

["Normally, their cultivation will be crippled if they intentionally kill a mortal for no reason."]

"Normally? That means, is there a loophole?"

["There is. But that loophole should have been patched after the previous Battle Marionette Outbreak Calamity. OG-Buddha, Samsara, Shennong, Mu-Nyang, Hongjun, and I created a million Suns and Heavenly Totems on every mortal planet. The restriction power from the totems and the Suns should have prevented the loophole..."]

"What is the loophole, then?"

["Can't disclose this information in public. Sorry."]

"..."

Unfortunately, Miaomiao couldn't extract more information from Macho Joshua at the moment.

Macho Joshua wasn't the only active viewer in the chat. Another high-tier subscriber also wanted to do something about this issue.

Ding

[The death of Sun Wentai enraged Sun Wu.]

[Sun Wu has offered you a quest.]

[Hunt down followers and vessels of Immortal Qin Clan.]

[Quest Reward: One 5th-grade soul stone per head.]

The quest was different than the usual. Sun Wu didn't even bother giving Miaomiao a short briefing, his motive, or longwinded explanation. The detail was short and on point.

"How should I know which one is this... Immortal Qin Clan's vessels?"

Ding

[Sun Wu has transferred the quest rewards from the previous quest to your inventory.]

[You have received a divine technique manual, Yama Divine Eyes.]

[Sun Wu has transferred a quest item to your system inventory.]

[You have received a drop of Yamata no Orochi's blood.]

"NANI?!"

Miaomiao was satisfied with the technique manual, but he was shocked when Sun Wu suddenly sent him the blood of a mythical being from Japanese Folklores.

Yamata no Orochi

This being was depicted in many pieces of literature as a dragon with eight heads and eight tails. In Greek Mythologies, however, the dragon was called Hydra.

Miaomiao had never expected something from non-Chinese folklores to appear in this cultivation universe. He was stunned.

'Oh, well. Since Jesus and Buddha exist here, why not?'

A second later, Miaomiao remembered that Macho Joshua and OG-Buddha were around. Even archangels like Uriel existed here.

Indeed, it wouldn't be strange for something from a fantasy genre to appear here.

[Sun Wu has sent you a message.]

["Cultivate the Yama Divine Eyes technique, and you should be able to see mortal and immortal's karma threads and their past. As for that dragon's blood, use it to increase your cultivation base and enhance your bloodline. I can't guarantee the side effects though since nobody survives after consuming it."]

Again, Miaomiao was fine with the technique, but he was DEFINITELY not alright with the blood!

"Excuse me? Nobody survives? And you expect me to eat that blood?"

["Yes. Aren't you a dragon bloodline collector? I figured that it would do you a favor since Yamata no Orochi's blood is extremely rare."]

[Devil shakes his head.]

[Devil has sent you a message.]

["Extremely rare my ass. It's being sold in the black market for seven hundred 7th-grade soul stones per liter. It's just that, nobody actually survived after they had consumed that... except two."]

"Who?!" Miaomiao was interested.

["Kishin Douji and me."]

"..."

That was a piece of bad news. It didn't encourage Miaomiao a bit.

["Anyway, it's possible to consume it. You know what to do."]

[Sun Wu is glad that Devil supports him.]

[Devil annoyingly dismisses Sun Wu for being too calculative.]

Regardless of motives, Miaomiao had a way to verify these items. After all, he had a trustworthy mistress in his dantian space.

He shifted his main consciousness to his soul inside the dantian space while his real body was still awake.

...

= Isolation Training Space =

As usual, Xu Chu never let go of Miaomiao's soul. She kept dual-cultivating with him to steal his luck.

Miaomiao also profited from this trade. His dantian capacity expanded by a meter every time he made Xu Chu came.

The grind was tedious, but Miaomiao and Xu Chu had fun.

However, the fun was paused today. Miaomiao finally pulled out his D and asked Xu Chu for a ceasefire treaty.

"Let's stop for now. I run into a problem."

Xu Chu pouted. She almost came for the 12th million times just now, but Miaomiao killed her momentum.

"What now? Someone died or something?"

"Yeah... Sun Wentai died."

"Huh? That vessel of Sun Wu you talked about?"

Miaomiao reminded her about the relationship between Sun Wentai and Sun Wu. Wu Guotai also used to be summoned here once in a while, so Xu Chu knew about their NTR deed.

"Oh, I see. You finally had enough and killed that bastard, right?" Xu Chu grinned and gave Miaomiao a thumbs up.

"No. Immortals from Immortal Qin Clan killed him."

"Qin Shi Huang's men?"

"You knew them?"

"Yeah. That bastard is one of my pursuers. He said he wouldn't stop until he get to make me carry his descendants or something."

"How about we take a picture? Let's have you open your legs, show the camera my thick fluid, and then send it to his email that you are drowning in someone else's semen?"

"You're a genius. Let's do it."

Both of them was strayed from their purposes and resumed having sex.

After a year of marathon sex, Miaomiao remembered what he was supposed to do. He stopped Xu Chu.

"Alright. Let's stop for real."

Xu Chu clicked her tongue as she failed to distract Miaomiao and continue playing her favorite game mode, the endless sex battle mode, "I guess you're getting a bit smarter."

"Dafuq is that supposed to mean? Anyway, I'm distracted enough. I need to consult with you for real."

Miaomiao got to the point and fetched the drop of Yamata no Orochi's blood to the space.

As soon as Miaomiao brought it out from his system inventory, his dantian space cracked and trembled.

Miaomiao's real body also collapsed and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

Noticing the blood, Xu Chu bellowed, "IDIOT! DON'T BRING THAT SHIT OUT!"

Miaomiao panicked and put the blood back in his inventory slot. Only then, the dantian space slowly mended the cracks and self-repaired.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after everything died down.

Xu Chu smacked the back of Miaomiao's head, "What the hell are you thinking? Why are you bringing an ancient dragon god's blood in here?!"

Instead of being angry, Miaomiao rejoiced.

Xu Chu seemed to know something about the blood.

"Do you know anything about the blood?"

"Damn right, I know! You should have asked me before you brought that shit out!"

"..."

Miaomiao wanted to retort that Xu Chu never let him speak or do anything other than sex.

...

Xu Chu explained the detail about the dragon's power and its blood.

Yamata no Orochi used to reign the dragon race before the Calamity of Players. He was known to be the strongest dragon king among all kings because of his regenerative ability and his flexible powers.

His eight heads were like eight different dragons - Each head had a free will of its own and cultivated different Providence Daos. Thus, in a one-on-one battle, Orochi was invincible.

The leader of all heads cultivated many unique elements that no deity could even attempt to learn, such as Chaos Element, Void Element, and a hundred compound elements. He was the embodiment of fear and respect among Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins.

Unfortunately, the Players emerged. They scattered throughout the universe and hunted the powerhouse races as if they were food. Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins were their primary targets.

Orochi stood at the forefront of the alliance. The three supreme races united as one to fight back.

However, the more they fought, the stronger the Players were.

After holding back the Players for a decade, Orochi was slain by a hero of the Players.

Without the strongest dragon king, the alliance quickly collapsed. The battlefronts could no longer contain the Players, and their armies ransacked Immortal Worlds.

Mu-Nyang and his Cathulhus emerged afterward and put the end to the calamity. Unfortunately, 90% of Orochi's former subordinates perished. The Dragons, Qilins, and Phoenixes were on the decline after that incident.

Still, the people in the current generation desired their legacies. These ancient beings were still being hunted down by deities and greedy immortals.

Currently, these three races joined forces and hid at the edge of the universe. Only Uriel, Devil, and Macho Joshua knew about their whereabouts.

...

Miaomiao was amazed by the tale. He was also excited that Orochi was once an OP dragon king.

He wondered if he could inherit Orochi's bloodline like other dragons. He was also curious if Orochi was one of the required bloodlines to awaken Asmodeus Bloodline.

Xu Chu concluded her story, "Anyway, the ancient dragon king's blood is not something you can consume or wave it around. Even I don't know how to use that shit!"

"So, can't we refine it into a pill?"

"No! Definitely fucking no! You know what? Many deities tried to impress me by swallowing a drop of Orochi's blood and trying to inherit his bloodline. You know what happened after that?"

"They died."

"In the goriest way! They even wished they were dead!" Xu Chu had goosebumps when she thought about her dark past, "They turned into monsters."

"..."

Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. Once again, a Dao God gave him something nasty.

He still remembered that he had many divine pills that could awaken dragon bloodlines and elements. However, because of his paranoia, he hadn't consumed them yet.

Now, Orochi's blood was added to the list.

Even still, the corner of Miaomiao's brain suddenly had an inspiration. He wondered if the simulation mode could simulate the cultivation process.

'Dion, can you simulate me if I eat this blood?'

Ding

[Analyzing the blood of Yamata no Orochi.]

[Compiling Data...]

Ding

[It is possible to simulate the result. Would you like to simulate it?]

'Do it!'

Miaomiao didn't know when Dion had this feature. He guessed that the protagonist's Heavenly Fate Core might have upgraded her somewhat.

A hologram appeared in front of Xu Chu and Miaomiao. It simulated the scenario if Miaomiao consumed the blood.

"What's this?" Xu Chu was interested.

"Simulation Mode."

"???"

Although confused, Xu Chu continued to observe the hologram.

Five seconds later, the result was out. Miaomiao was not disappointed.

He died.
