Chu Mo and He Xu had just agreed on how to strategize against the Tiger Head Army for the upcoming battle.

Suddenly, the Demon Lord approached Chu Mo.

Chu Mo had long grown accustomed to his master's knack for appearing out of nowhere and finding him, no matter where he was.

"This primordial beast blood should be enough to improve your constitution to level seven ... Hmm? You've already reached the level six constitution?" The Demon Lord's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise, his eyes reflecting disbelief as he looked at Chu Mo.

"Yes, I've just broken through," replied Chu Mo, with a hint of pride, acknowledging that even his master has been taken aback by his rapid progress.

"Impressive!" The Demon Lord, who rarely praised Chu Mo, was effuse in his approval. He looked at Chu Mo, "At this rate, by the time you leave this world, your constitution might very well have reached the eighth level! If that becomes a reality, there might be a chance for you to attain the innate constitution once you enter the Immortal Realm."

Chu Mo nodded, "I will certainly strive towards that goal!" and he thought to himself: not only do I want to achieve the innate constitution, but I also want to strive for the Daoist Realm constitution!

"Here are some additional primordial medicines. I'm not sure about their classification, but based on their aura, they should all be of high quality," the Demon Lord stated, producing a large pile of primordial medicine.

Chu Mo's eyes widened in astonishment, muttering, "These... are all top-tier primordial medicines!"

He began to sort through the pile: "This is dwarf bamboo grass... Given its age, it must be hundreds of years old. And this is the spotless violet... Notice how its pistil resembles a substantially shrunk centipede. This plant is highly toxic! However, when used as a medicinal catalyst... it exceeds expectations!"

Chu Mo mentioned each plant as if they were his prized possessions. The Demon Lord watched with a bemused expression.

Chu Mo had originally been an extraordinarily gifted, yet very naïve and stubborn boy, with quite a backbone. But he had never demonstrated any profound knowledge about medicinal herbs to the Demon Lord, who was now full of doubts. The Demon Lord suspected that Chu Mo always possessed such knowledge and being a noble certainly could explain it.

However, the Demon Lord didn't realize that Chu Mo's knowledge did not come from prior understanding, but from the Chaos Furnace, an artefact he carried capable of identifying all medicinal herbs in the world.

As Chu Mo collected the medicinal herbs, he began to cross-reference them with the pill recipes provided by the Chaos Furnace. Finally, he lifted his head and looked at the Demon Lord with excitement, but also a touch of reluctance.

The Demon Lord felt his heart skip a beat.

"Master..." Chu Mo spoke softly without hesitation, looking at the Demon Lord, "Your poison... It can be completely eradicated now!"

For the first time, the Demon Lord's sharp eyes revealed hints of confusion.

"All the necessary herbs have been gathered... The poison can be eradicated at any time!" Chu Mo reiterated.

"Really?" The Demon Lord took a deep breath, steadied himself, and looked at Chu Mo, "Before I depart, I will eliminate all top-tier factions on this world for you... Anyone who could pose a threat to you will be exterminated!"

The Demon Lord spoke resolutely.

Chu Mo was reminded of his conversation with Big Rooster just two days ago, about the topic of cause and effect.

"The higher the realm, the more potent the effect of cause and effect. Particularly when it comes to creatures that haven't provoked you, mass killing results in enormous cause and effect. All of this will be reciprocated to you manifold when the great catastrophe arrives."

Chu Mo asked Big Rooster, "For example?"

"Let's say that one day, you've reached the innate realm and have the power to annihilate a whole country. Even if you do such a thing... there would be no immediate consequences. At most, you would appear much more murderous."

"When you reach the pinnacle of the innate, and wish to ascend to the Spirit Realm, these causes and effects will directly precipitate a great tribulation! This tribulation will be at least ten times larger than the normal ascension tribulation, maybe even a hundred times larger!"

The rooster looked at Chu Mo and said indifferently, "Ascension... It's not as easy as you think. Now, you should understand why the stronger the individual, the further they stay away from the secular world. Why they avoid all kinds of conflicts, don't you?"

"But in the Immortal Realm, my master was pursued by countless people. Weren't those people afraid of being contaminated with cause and effect?" Chu Mo asked.

The rooster let out a few strange guffaws: "Of course they were afraid! However, if the benefits...exceed their fear of cause and effect, they will still act without any hesitation. Moreover, how many of those in the Immortal Realm who acted against your master are truly hopeful of ascending to the Heavenly Realm? If such a powerful being did act against your master, your master would've fallen long ago!"

Chu Mo really took in what the rooster said. As for the words "cause and effect", although he could not say that he had a particularly deep understanding, he ingrained them deeply in his heart.

Now, hearing his master say that he intended to eliminate all obstacles for him before leaving, Chu Mo felt touched. But at the same time, he felt a strong surge of concern.

"Master, doing so would bring you great cause and effect, wouldn't it?" Chu Mo looked at the Demon Lord and asked.

The Demon Lord was slightly taken aback: "You understand cause and effect?"

Then he said with a sudden realization: "I see, it was that chicken who told you... Would it kill him to keep his beak shut and just be a chicken?"

"Master, is this true?" Chu Mo looked at the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It's true, but, I don't mind this cause and effect."

"No..." Chu Mo looked at the Demon Lord, and said seriously: "I don't want to owe too much to you, Master! These things are my cause and effect, not yours, Master!"

"Since you have become my disciple, your cause and effect is also related to me." The Demon Lord said indifferently, "Don't take that chicken's words too seriously. If everyone in this world was truly so concerned about cause and effect, there would be no scheming or killing long ago."

"In any case, I don't want you, Master, to bear so much unrelated cause and effect because of me." Chu Mo insisted.

In the end, Chu Mo didn't actually know the real terror of cause and effect. His persistent attitude stemmed from a deep desire to protect the Demon Lord!

It is not only masters who can protect their disciples. Disciples... can also protect their masters.

Chu Mo may not know, but this doesn't mean that the Demon Lord doesn't know. The power of the term "cause and effect" is crystal clear to the Demon Lord!

When the real Heavenly Tribulation comes, the power manifested by the term "cause and effect" is absolutely crushing!

Just because this place is the lowest level world doesn't mean that the cause and effect produced under such a huge difference isn't powerful... On the contrary! The power it manifests... is more formidable than anything!

It can even make a top-tier powerhouse vanish instantaneously!

Could the Demon Lord truly not care about this? Impossible, of course!

But facing the disciple who gave him a second life, the Demon Lord is willing to give everything.

He is afraid, but he has no regrets!

"I believe... I can handle it!" Chu Mo grinned slightly: "Master, don't forget, I also have the giant rooster. If I really can't win... I can flee! I will never consider escaping... to be a disgraceful act."

The Demon Lord thought for a moment, then let out a smile too: "Indeed... My disciple is not so easy to deal with!" (To be continued.
