Chapter 141 – Bloodline Bond

"Bloodline Bond?"

Mu Chen seemed slightly stunned as he repeated these words slowly back to himself. Then, his eyes sparkled as he looked at the Nine Netherbird and asked: "What's that?"

"It's something that only a member of an ancient Divine Beast's lineage can do. Simply put, it uses a special technique to link our bloodlines together."

"A benefit is that you will possess my abilities. This is a higher ranked method of obtaining a Spiritual Beast's abilities compared to simply ingesting the Soul Essence."

A faint thought was conveyed over by the Nine Netherbird: "The disadvantage of this is that we will form a tight connection with each other. If you were to die, I would die as well. Similarly, if I die, you will die as well."

Mu Chen froze immediately and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this quite vicious?"

"Stop pretending. Although humans are able to increase their lifespan through cultivation, but based on an ordinary death, you are the ones that would definitely die first unless you somehow managed to cultivate to an extremely high level." The Nine Netherbird said disdainfully.

"And you think that I'm willing to form a Bloodline Bond with an insect-like human? The Nine Netherbird possesses the bloodline of the ancient Undying Bird. Compared to everything about you, it is many times more noble!"

"You don't even know how many people attempted to form a Bloodline Bond with us. Despite that, the Nine Netherbird race has never done such a shameful act. If it wasn't for the fact that there isn't another method, I would never have suggested such a thing in the first place!"

A hint of anger was within the thought that was conveyed over. When humans ingested a Soul Essence and erased the Spiritual Beast's will, it was one of the most despicable and lowly act of obtaining the Spiritual Beast's capabilities. However, a Bloodline Bond surpasses the act of ingesting in terms of method and potential.

This is because this was the only method that could fuse two bloodlines together, allowing the cultivator to use an extremely formidable power.

However, a Bloodline Bond requires agreement from both parties. To high rank existences, it was simply a disgrace for them to lay down their dignity and willingly form a Bloodline Bond with humans. Therefore, they would rather be completely obliterated instead of doing such a thing.

Mu Chen smiled helplessly. After all, this entire thing had happened because of the Nine Netherbird. Who told it to be so greedy and to swallow two Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts' Soul Essence at once?

From the sounds of it, the Bloodline Bond possesses many benefits to him. However, Mu Chen felt a bit off as he would have to bundle his life together with someone else.

"Do you agree or not? Stop acting so indecisive!" Seeing Mu Chen turn silent, the Nine Netherbird spoke up immediately. It could feel the purple golden web gradually tightening on itself.

Mu Chen sighed and nodded. He immediately turned serious and said: "Although there isn't much meaning in me saying this, I would like to clarify that I do not have much desire to form this Bloodline Bond. I only promised because I owe you favor. And now, there is only one method of resolving this dilemma. Otherwise, no matter how many benefits I would obtain, I would not tie my life together with someone else."

The Nine Netherbird was truly powerful. However, Mu Chen wasn't someone who would sacrifice something that he adheres to just for strength. He had confidence in himself. Perhaps he wasn't as powerful as the Nine Netherbird currently, but he firmly believed in this sentence: Nobody could predict how powerful he would be in the future.
