Chapter 1414: Chapter 241: Good News and Bad News
Originally, Bo Bo, worried about Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, left Sky Wing City without permission and hurried towards Dihong City.
But at this crucial moment, Bo Bo messed up again. Her old problem of poor sense of direction kicked in.
She first meandered around aimlessly and almost ended up in Penglai. She barely managed to find her way from the seaside and finally reached Dihong City.
But then she encountered Yuan Shahu who had activated the maze outside Dihong City to prevent city residents from going outside and causing harm.
After Bo Bo entered the maze, she got lost again; it was truly a case of shouting to the heavens with no response and calling to the earth with no help. After she finally found her way outside Dihong City, she was discovered by several city residents and was "caught" without a word.
However, as soon as she entered Dihong City, Bo Bo noticed something was amiss, and coincidentally, she found Yun Sheng and the others.
"Oh well, Bu Po, we from the Xuanyuan and Yuan families have kept this secret for many years. This time, our parents paid the price with their lives, so it’s time to reveal the true secret of Dihong City to the world," Yuan Shahu sighed, giving Yuan Bupo an encouraging glance.
"I agree, little brother. You’re now the City Lord of Dihong City. Yun Sheng and the others are not outsiders; you might as well tell them about Emperor Hong’s ancient tomb," Yuan Shanshan looked calm as she spoke.
"You’ve been rambling on about one big thing—underneath Dihong City is a gigantic tomb. Inside that tomb lies the ancient tomb of Emperor Huo Yan." Bo Bo, listening impatiently, bluntly revealed the concern of the Yuan siblings.
"How do you know about this? About Emperor Huo Yan?" Yuan Bupo was on guard.
"I know a lot. I also know that at the deepest part of the ancient tomb, there’s actually a seal that opens the ancient path of gods." Bo Bo smirked, really, without considering who she was—she was the Realm God of the Human World... um, well, a pending Realm God.
"Path of Gods? What is that?" The name left the siblings of the Yuan family bewildered.
"It’s the tomb of Emperor Huo Yan that you’ve been guarding all these thousands of years, without knowing that it’s the entrance to the Path of Gods." Bo Bo genuinely mourned for the people of Dihong City.
Nearing extinction, these people remained intent on guarding the city, unaware of its true mystery.
Bo Bo had only just discovered this secret.
Speaking of which, when Bo Bo was still an egg, she had visited Dihong City. However, she hadn’t fully regained her strength nor did she possess the divine skill to seek the Path of Gods, hence she didn’t uncover the secret of Dihong City.
Earlier, when Bo Bo mentioned to Yun Sheng the possible presence of the Path of Gods elsewhere on the continent, she hadn’t realized that the Path of Gods she had been diligently seeking lay beneath Dihong City.
This time was different; upon seeing Dihong City, she suddenly noticed an auspicious light beneath it.
Even though that auspicious light was inconspicuous, it subtly carried divine power, and Bo Bo immediately understood.
"Bo Bo, are you certain?" Yun Sheng had stayed in Dihong City for a long time without noticing any signs of the Path of Gods.
"If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember that before becoming the Divine Emperor, Emperor Huo Yan of the Divine World originally belonged to the Emperor Hong clan." Bo Bo’s brain was truly not very reliable; she had overlooked such an important clue.
"Yun Sheng, we three siblings don’t know about any Path of Gods, but underneath Dihong City, there really is a large tomb. You must have heard that the Emperor’s Song we’ve two families been learning always came from the tomb," Yuan Bupo and others no longer hid, revealing the secret of the tomb to Yun Sheng.
But the three also told Yun Sheng that at the deepest part of the tomb where Emperor Hong Chapter Nine is hidden, not even the ancestors of both Xuanyuan and Yuan families had entered.
"The Path of Gods is likely hidden there. Bo Bo, finding the Path of Gods is indeed good news, but now is not the time to open it. Firstly, we don’t have enough strength; secondly, the Blood Mist crisis on the Wuji Continent has yet to be resolved." Yun Sheng believed rescuing people was more important than becoming a god.
"Master, you’re right. Since the Path of Gods is there, it won’t run away. Now that you’ve found a solution to the Blood Mist, we should focus on rescuing people first." Bo Bo nodded in agreement.
"Yun Sheng, what should we do next? Just give your orders." The others awaited Yun Sheng’s command.
"I’ve found a way to counter the Blood Mist, but many are affected by it on the Wuji Continent. We need a large amount of antidote. I’m not hiding this from you; it requires many people from the Hei Qilin Tribe as medicine guides," Yun Sheng’s words left Ye Beiming and the others stunned.
What did this mean?
As a doctor well-versed with various modern cases, Yun Sheng had been researching ways to heal once the Blood Mist polluted the Wuji Continent.
Eventually, after much observation, Yun Sheng found that the mode of transmission and timing and cycle of its outbreak bore similarities to smallpox in modern medicine.
The best treatment for smallpox is vaccination.
The challenge now was that she couldn’t, as in the modern day, directly find the cowpox vaccine to combat smallpox.
Facing this predicament, Yun Sheng adopted a very ancient and backward method, attempting to test various experimental subjects by injecting them with blood contaminated with Blood Mist poison, to see which species could eventually produce, through their antibodies, something akin to the cowpox vaccine from the history of modern medicine.
She hadn’t anticipated that eventually, something akin to the cowpox vaccine would arise from Ye Beiming.
This discovery was undoubtedly an enormous surprise for today’s Wuji Continent. "It’s difficult for me to explain it to you all in detail right now. I have good and bad news for you. The good news is that we have found the antidote. The bad news is, we might need to go to the Bahuang Continent to capture some members of the Hei Qilin Tribe, because the Blood Mist poison can only be countered using the blood of the Hei Qilin Tribe people. Relying solely on Ye Beiming to produce the vaccine is too slow and far from adequate." Yun Sheng’s biggest headache at present was this problem.
"You’re saying we have to snatch some ’antidote’ back under the noses of the High Priest and Dugu Xiu?" Ye Beiming finally understood Yun Sheng’s meaning.
"That’s exactly it." Yun Sheng nodded helplessly.
