Chapter 1241: Barren Bloodline
The Moon Empress watched Zixi playing with the Lifespan Mouse for a second before asking Lin Yuan seriously, “Little Yuan, have you heard of the Barren bloodline which only exists in feys in the Radiance Federation?”
Lin Yuan suddenly thought about the meal he had together with Zong Ze and the rest in Zong Ze’s residence.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang had mentioned the Barren bloodline. Long Tao, Zong Ze, and Sun Ningxiang looked at Gao Feng, Liu Jie, and Lin Yuan enviously when they did so.
That was the first time that Lin Yuan had heard of the Barren bloodline.
He had learned from Zong Ze that the Fiery Sky Hou had the Barren bloodline and that it was not fully mature yet.
Lin Yuan remembered that Zong Ze had wanted to talk more about the Fiery Sky Hou. But Zong Ze had stopped after glancing at Gao Feng, Long Tao, and Sun Ningxiang.
This had made Lin Yuan realize that Zong Ze did not want to share more about the Fiery Sky Hou and the Barren bloodline with Long Tao, Gao Feng, and Sun Ningxiang.
However, he clearly saw no need to be careful with Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Gao Feng.

Eventually, Zong Ze did not mention the Barren bloodline again until the group dispersed.
When Zong Ze had brought up the Barren bloodline, Gu Lang said to Long Tao, “If you work hard, you’ll have the chance to gain the Barren bloodline too.”
…
Lin Yuan only managed to gain a partial understanding of the Barren bloodline from the information provided by Zong Ze and Gu Lang.
As such, Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “Master, I don’t know much about the Barren bloodline. All I know is that Zong Ze’s Fiery Sky Hou has it.”
“I had planned on telling you about it when you’re 20 years old and participating in the selection to become a Radiance Envoy. Today, I prepared a drop of the Earth Center Fine Milk for you. Once you consume it, you’ll be able to contract feys with the Barren bloodline,” replied the Moon Empress.
Now, Lin Yuan knew that feys with the Barren bloodline required its contractor to be of a certain age.
The Earth Center Fine Milk could refine a person’s body, soul, and spiritual energy if their body were cleansed of impurities.
This meant that spirit qi professionals needed to be outstanding bodies, spirits, and souls to contract feys with the Barren bloodline.
It was just like how people below 18 years old could not use their souls to form marrow contracts with sacred source lifeforms.
However, Lin Yuan had not managed to learn what feys with the Barren bloodlines were based on what the Moon Empress said.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan had gained a deep impression of the Fiery Sky Hou’s might during their fight.
The Life-Changing Fire Beast and Heaven Crimson Fire could produce such power because of the Fiery Sky Hou.
Without the Fiery Sky Hou’s fire-elemental energy-increasing abilities and the Dreamland of Fire, Zong Ze’s overall power would be 20% weaker than what it currently was.
Lin Yuan was also shocked that the Diamond X/Fantasy V Fiery Sky Hou had eight high-grade strange flames within it.
When combined, the eight high-grade strange flames would be as powerful as a top-grade strange flame. The top-grade strange flame was far more powerful than regular Fantasy Breed feys.
Lin Yuan had been silently stunned by the Fiery Sky Hou’s talent and bloodline.
The Fiery Sky Hou’s power and abilities definitely exceeded all of Lin Yuan’s feys.
Lin Yuan’s feys were evolved through the best methods.
Now, Lin Yuan finally understood that the root of Zong Ze’s Fiery Sky Hou’s power came from the Barren bloodline.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask the Moon Empress how one would go about obtaining a fey with the Barren bloodline, she said, “Little Yuan, in another month, the group from the Azure Federation will arrive at the Radiance Federation to watch the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. There are four Azure Envoys amongst them. The fourth Azure Envoy is from the Azure Cloud Leopard family, which is one of the 12 Azure families. The Azure Cloud Leopard bloodline only exists in the Azure Federation. The equivalent to that in the Radiant Federation is the Barren bloodline.
“Zong Ze’s Fiery Sky Hou and Zixi both have the Barren bloodline. In the Radiance Federation, the older generation can only gain a fey with the Barren bloodline by becoming one of the members of royalty. It is slightly easier for the younger generation, who have three methods of doing so. Firstly, they can become a disciple of a member of royalty before they turn 30 years old. Secondly, they can become a Radiance Envoy. Lastly, they can become a Radiance Knight.”
The Moon Empress’ words rendered Lin Yuan speechless.
Previously, Lin Yuan only had a general idea of feys with the Barren bloodline. But now, he truly understood their worth.
Lin Yuan knew what the 12 Azure families signified in the Azure Federation from Yin Lin’s memories. They were completely different from the roles that top factions played in the Radiance Federation.
Not even the top three top factions, Rhine Lifeform, Whale Ocean Commerce, and Cage of Brahma Insects combined, could combine to one of the Azure families’ positions in the Azure Federation.
There were no members of royalty in the Azure Federation. The leader of each of the Azure families was equivalent to one of the members of royalty in the Radiance Federation. All of them had the authority to speak in the meetings held in the Azure Federation’s imperial court.
This was because every member of the Azure families had their Azure beast patterns and could contract feys that had the Azure bloodline.
Clearly, the feys with the Azure bloodline were extremely strong.
By the same logic, given that feys that had the Barren bloodline and Azure bloodline could be compared, feys with the Barren bloodline were just as strong when it came to combat power.
According to the conditions that the Moon Empress had said were necessary to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline, there were many more types of feys that could gain the Barren bloodline than there were feys with the Azure bloodline.
But in terms of quantity, fewer feys could gain the Barren bloodline because every spirit qi professional that was part of an Azure family and had awakened their Azure beast pattern could immediately contract a respective fey that had the Azure bloodline.
The Moon Empress seemed to insinuate that he would be able to gain a fey that had the Barren bloodline once he consumed Earth Center Fine Milk.
Lin Yuan was immediately looking forward to this. But at the same time, he worried about his spiritual energy.
Feys with the Barren bloodline were so powerful that they could not be spirit-locked by Morbius.
It would be blasphemous for him to spirit lock a fey with the Barren bloodline.
