The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: The Imperial Secret Realm

Lilianna Norman didn’t delay too long, and when she landed and saw Carson Flores leisurely lying on her lounge chair, a smile couldn’t help but spread a bit wider across her lips.

Carson raised his head and smiled, ”Well?”

With a sullen face, Lilianna replied, ”Indeed there is, but he didn’t give it.”

Carson blinked, ”Why?”

Lilianna Norman was after all a Saintess, and even she couldn’t obtain a Spiritual Medicine?

Carson subconsciously thought of the worst possible scenarios. Could it be that the news had also reached that person, and he became vigilant because the Bodhi Blood was a necessary ingredient for refining the Great Land Resurrection Pill?

Lilianna replied, ”He has already designated the Bodhi Blood as a prize for a recent event, and the news has been announced. It would not be good to go back on that. He said I could strive to win the prize directly or negotiate with the victor afterward to obtain it...”

Carson breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Immortals were not involved.

He was almost paranoid.

The Great Land Resurrection Pill was known only to Maggie Fitzgerald and her Immortal Slaves, both of which had already been suppressed within the Ghost Tower. Princess Hail and Franklin Wyatt should also be aware of it, but it seemed unlikely that they would have contact with the Demon Emperor.

”What event?”

Lilianna explained, ”The Imperial Secret Realm, a hunting secret realm teeming with various Fierce Beasts, but also one that offers special opportunities. Only the Demon Emperor could open this realm with unique methods, and it was a place used by the Demon Emperor in ancient times to train and enhance the powers of the Demon Race.”

”After the fall of the previous Demon Emperor, the method to open the Secret Realm was lost. Now that the Demon Emperor has returned to power, he possesses the ability to reopen the Secret Realm. And because it hasn’t been entered for over ten thousand years, nobody knows what it has become.”

”This event is open for all Demon Race forces to sign up without any restrictions. Bodhi Blood as the prize for this exploration means whoever delves the deepest and achieves the most will obtain the Bodhi Blood.”

The Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm?

Special opportunity?

Carson’s eyes suddenly brightened as he asked in detail, ”What kind of special opportunity?”

Lilianna explained, ”Ghost Spirit Lingzhi. Just one blossom of Ghost Spirit Lingzhi more than a thousand years old can be used to refine a furnace of Ghost Spirit Pills. Consuming a Ghost Spirit Pill can greatly enhance one’s strength, not the speed of cultivation, but a direct increase in power.”

Curiously, Carson asked, ”Does it work for the Hollow Void as well?”

Lilianna nodded, ”The Ghost Spirit Pill is used by True Selves and Great Demons, equivalent to the Human Cultivators’ Divinity Transformation and Hollow Void. The Ghost Spirit Pill contains a strong malevolent energy. Those of lesser strength simply cannot withstand it.”

Carson’s heart stirred immediately. A direct enhancement in strength—who wouldn’t want that?

Now in the Late Phase of Transforming Spirit, without some stroke of fortune, just relying on slow, steady cultivation—it would take who knows how many years for even a minor advancement.

Carson asked, ”Will you participate?”

Lilianna replied, ”I am the Holy Maiden of the Demon Race, of course I will participate. Moreover, I have now entered the Great Demon Phase and need elixirs to enhance my strength. Otherwise, the progress is too slow. With such an opportunity, why would I miss it?”

”Who else will participate?” Carson inquired.

Frowning with a slight look of worry, Lilianna said, ”The Demon Emperor’s Palace, the Four Saints Sect, and others, will all send a team to participate. My Maiden’s Residence doesn’t have many powerful individuals, so I expect I’ll have to rely on myself. It won’t be easy to come out victorious...”

”Can I go in?” asked Carson.

Lilianna, taken aback, widened her eyes, ”You want to participate?”

”Yes,” Carson smiled. ”Such an opportunity, now that I’ve stumbled upon it, naturally, I’d like to see it for myself. But, whether it’s actually feasible, that’s up to you to decide.”

Lilianna thought for a moment, ”It’s not impossible, but there will be some risks...”

Carson hadn’t held much hope at first; after all, this was a trial of the Demon Race. As a Human, blending in would not be easy. But hearing her response, he suddenly felt a pleasantly unexpected joy.

”Really? I can?”

Lilianna replied, ”The Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm has been closed for ten thousand years. No one knows what it’s like inside. Since it’s based on forces, most will bring along some capable Human slaves. They are used as Adventurers in dangerous areas, so if you go in with them, it won’t be conspicuous...”

Cannon fodder!

Realizing the implication, Carson said, ”Then, can I go in with you? Don’t worry, I won’t reveal my identity. I’ll be just like your true slave, helping you fight. All I want is to obtain some Ghost Spirit Lingzhi and hopefully win and get the Bodhi Blood. I don’t want anything else...”

Lilianna hesitated slightly.

Carson was the Human Emperor. If his identity was exposed, she would inevitably be accused of collaborating with the enemy and be rejected by the Demon Race.

Upon further reflection, Carson had saved her life twice without asking for anything in return, and his current actions were not aimed at harming the Demon Race but merely improving his own strength and acquiring the Bodhi Blood. Besides, with Carson’s formidable power and the special status of the Maiden’s Residence—albeit with weak strength—him aiding her would also be a substantial help.

With these thoughts, Lilianna’s mind became resolute: ”You can.”
