Chapter 413: Chapter 237: Take Me as Your Lord?

A new, powerful Demon Fiend?

Bo Xiu was startled for a moment, then seemed to remember something. He said quickly, "I know which Demon Fiend you’re talking about. Go and notify everyone immediately. Have all our clanspeople return to the caves. While you’re at it, inform the other three races not to let their people go out alone."

"Huh?"

The messenger was astonished. "Bo Xiu, are you sure you know which Demon Fiend it is? Bo Zhen and the others almost didn’t make it back just now. If an Ice Ape hadn’t appeared and drawn the Demon Fiend away, they wouldn’t have even had a chance to escape."

"Would I lie to you?" Bo Xiu said irritably. "That Demon Fiend is one of the Undead Race Great Monarchs from the Demon Realm who came in with the Lord. A being of the Four Realms. However, they were both injured by the Lord, so their current strength is limited. Everyone should stay inside the caves and not go out. That Undead Fiend won’t dare to come into our caves looking for trouble."

"An Undead Fiend injured by the Lord? An Undead Demon Fiend?" the messenger murmured, repeating the words a few times. "Alright, I’ll go inform everyone now."

With that, the sound of footsteps faded into the distance.

Bo Xiu returned to the ice chamber. As he walked, his Divine Wondrous Power surged, amplifying his voice as he explained, "The members of the Undead Race the Lord spoke of have appeared."

He quickly repeated what Gu Zheng had previously told them about the Undead Race to Bo Xiang, Bo Ai, and Bo Taixing.

"Two of the Four Realms?"

After hearing this, Bo Ai frowned. "Dealing with this might be a bit troublesome."

"What’s so troublesome?" Bo Xiang interjected. "Never mind that the two Undead Race Great Monarchs have already been injured by the Lord. Even if they were at full strength, once the clan leaders of the Three-Eyed, Toothless, and Hidden Spirit races arrive and we tell them, they’ll take action, and those two Undead Race Great Monarchs will be as good as dead."

"And we have our Clan Leader," Bo Xiu added. "With the Lord’s Antitoxic Pearl, it won’t be long before the Clan Leader’s Cold Poison is suppressed. By then, with the combined strength of the four clan leaders, the Undead Race Great Monarchs won’t even have a chance to escape."

"...I guess that’s true, huh?" Bo Ai gave an awkward laugh.

"I’m afraid Taixing Clan Leader’s Cold Poison won’t be dispelled that quickly," Gu Zheng said calmly, his voice amplified by his Divine Wondrous Power. "Taixing Clan Leader has accumulated far too much Cold Poison qi. One Antitoxic Pearl is not enough."

As he spoke, Gu Zheng’s hand blurred, and two more identical Bone Pearls appeared. Controlled by his Divine Wondrous Power, they floated in front of Bo Taixing.

With a slight stimulus from his Divine Wondrous Power, the two Bone Pearls began to rotate slowly, drawing out the Cold Poison qi from Bo Taixing’s body.

"This..."

Bo Xiang, Bo Xiu, and Bo Ai couldn’t help but stare, stunned.

The next moment, the three of them faced Gu Zheng in unison and performed a deep bow.

"Thank you, Lord!"

"...You must think this is laughable, my Lord," Bo Taixing herself said, both surprised and grateful.

"It is nothing. As it happens, I have a few of these Bone Pearls, so it’s no trouble to help," Gu Zheng said nonchalantly. "Three Bone Pearls drawing out the Cold Poison qi together should be enough."

And it was true. In just that short time, the Cold Poison in Bo Taixing’s body was clearly diminishing.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Cold Poison, which had flared up and been released, was now visibly dissipating from Bo Taixing’s body, drawn out and absorbed by the Bone Pearls.

This was the first time Bo Xiang, Bo Xiu, and Bo Ai had ever seen someone overcome the Cold Poison so quickly.

Bo Taixing herself felt it even more clearly as the chilling qi steadily decreased.

It was also the first time she had ever felt so comfortable during a Cold Poison flare-up.

...

After waiting in the ice chamber for a while, Gu Zheng followed Bo Xiu and Bo Xiang out into a spacious cavern to rest for a while.

The temperature inside these caverns was considerably higher than outside the main cave.

But an ordinary person would still get frostbite and freeze to death down here.

Gu Zheng had no such masochistic tendencies, so he kept his Domain active the entire time.

The cavern had a stone table and stone stools, but Gu Zheng didn’t sit down.

As he was looking around, Bo Ai came in carrying a stone plate with several fruits on it.

’There’s a dragon-like pattern on the surface of the fruit. Ice Dragon Fruit?’

"My Lord, this is Ice Dragon Fruit. Although its surface is coated in ice, the flesh and juice inside are actually warm. Please, try one," Bo Ai said, placing the plate on the stone table.

"Alright." Gu Zheng nodded. He watched Bo Ai leave, then picked up an Ice Dragon Fruit. He rinsed it with his Divine Wondrous Power, melting the outer layer of ice to reveal the flesh beneath, then took a bite to test its flavor.

CRUNCH

The taste was indeed excellent. The fruit’s flesh was cool as it entered his mouth, and then the sensation spread through his limbs and body.

Immediately after, a cool sensation shot straight to his brain, invigorating his Spirit.

In that instant, his mind became incredibly clear.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, something stirred in Gu Zheng’s mind, and he began to eat the Ice Dragon Fruit faster.

CRUNCH, CRUNCH

As the flesh entered his stomach, a cool aura spread out, and the refreshing sensation rushed to his brain.

In that tranquil state, Gu Zheng felt his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth deepen by a few slivers.

’This fruit!’

’It actually contains Dao Rhyme?’

’Although it’s a very, very small amount, almost negligible.’

’But it’s undeniable. After taking a few bites, as the juice transformed into that cool sensation and rushed to his brain, it gave him an epiphany.’

’A fruit that contains Dao Rhyme...’

’Damn it, this is a world-class Treasure Medicine!’

’The Three-Eyed Race, the Toothless Race, the Two-Eared Race, and the Hidden Spirit Race... these four Alien Races have been eating such a high-grade Treasure Medicine for thirty thousand years.’

’What a colossal waste of a priceless treasure!’

’In the eyes of Bo Xiu, Bo Xiang, and the others, the Ice Dragon Fruit probably has no use beyond providing abundant energy.’

’To perceive Dao Rhyme, one must at least reach the second stage of the King’s Body realm.’

’You need to have unlocked the Five Orifice Divine Techniques.’

’Among these Alien Races like the Two-Eared Race and the Three-Eyed Race, how many have reached the second stage of the King’s Body?’

’Judging from their earlier conversation, only the clan leaders of the four races have reached the King’s Body realm.’

’But Bo Taixing is only at the first stage of the King’s Body; she hasn’t unlocked the Five Orifice Divine Techniques yet.’
