While healing his wounds, David remembered the words the Head of the Palace had said.
Gods, God Emperors, Golden Immortal Realm, Ten Thousand Years of Enmity
This information gave him a clearer understanding of the Protoss, but also brought him pressure.
The Golden Immortal Realm was something he couldn’t even look up to now.
As for myself, I am a first level Heavenly Immortal. Although my combat power far surpasses others of the same level, and I can even finish off peak level eight immortals, I probably won’t be able to withstand a single fart from a Golden Immortal.
“Our strength is still too weak.”
David thought to himself, “I need to go to Eleventh Heaven. Only there can I progress faster. I need to get the Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk and find the Nine Orifices Divine Spirit Grass, but more importantly, I need to find a chance to breakthrough.”
His chaotic immortal power encompassed all things, but the resources and insights required for his breakthrough were more numerous and more difficult than those of ordinary cultivators.
He had reached the threshold of the second rank of the Immortal Lord Realm, but he always felt that something was still lacking.
As the first rays of dawn filtered through the ice crystal windows into the side hall the next morning, David slowly opened his eyes.
After a night of rest, his immortal strength recovered by 70-80%, and his injuries were basically healed. The mild fatigue that remained in his soul due to the forced use of “Severing the Void” also disappeared thanks to the potion.
Ling Shuang and the Red Cloud Demon Lord also woke up one by one, and their complexions had improved a lot.
The little fire unicorn also stood up excitedly, and the golden flames around its body shone brightly again.
Just then, the palace doors opened silently, and the palace master appeared at the entrance.
She was still wearing a plain white dress, but her hair was done more neatly today, showing less sadness from last night and more of a sense of calm and dignity.
“How was your rest?” asked the palace master.
“Thank you for the medicine, Palace Lord. I am much better now,” David said as he stood up.
“In that case, okay.” Palace Master nodded. “Come with me, I will take you to the Cold Pool.”
The three immediately followed.
The palace master did not bring many retinues, only four quiet holy maidens. The group walked through the palace complex, heading towards the three ice peaks at the back.
The people from the Northern Underworld Palace they met along the way, both soldiers and servants, all bowed respectfully to the Palace Master, but their gazes towards David and his companions were much more complicated.
There was curiosity, hostility, and a little curiosity. Obviously, the news about the palace master personally receiving and hosting the three people last night had spread throughout the palace.
After passing various palaces and covered bridges, we finally arrived at a secluded side gate. Pushing the gate open, we saw the basin outside, with the Blood Soul Cold Pool only a few hundred feet away.
At that time, the day was bright, the aurora had faded, but the ice field was still shrouded in gray mist.
Three towering ice peaks, like three silent giants, guard the basin in the center. The surface of the ice pond remained dark red, like blood, and the blood lotus buds at the edge of the pond trembled slightly in the morning breeze, looking fuller than the night before.
“The Blood Lotus will bloom soon.”
The palace master looked at the flower bud and said softly, “The blooming period is only three days, you came just in time.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord trembled with excitement, his eyes fixed on the blood lotus, as if he saw the hope of Lingyue’s revival.
“But,”
The palace master changed the topic, “If you want to harvest the Blood Lotus, my approval alone is not enough.”
David’s heart pounded: “What does Palace Master mean?”
“The Blood Soul Cold Pool is a naturally formed place with extreme yin and cold poison. The fact that this thousand year old Ice Soul Blood Lotus can grow here is extraordinary.”
The palace master explained, “It is not ownerless; rather, it has its own guardian.”
“The guards?” David and two other people stared at the cold pool at the same time.
The pool was calm and quiet, and apart from its eerie dark red color and the water being extremely cold, there was nothing special about the pool.
