At that moment, hearing that the Imperial Lord had another gift, everyone wore a look of anticipation. Every gift from the Imperial Lord had left them all astonished.
This time would probably be no exception.
Sure enough, the next moment, a scene unfolded that shocked everyone.
With a smile, Ye Xingchen casually turned his hand over, and a formation platform gleaming with golden light appeared in his palm.
The instant this formation platform appeared, countless streams of immortal spirit power surged toward it from every direction.
Even the immortal spirit power in the void turned into an enormous waterfall, cascading down from the void toward the formation platform in Ye Xingchen's hand.
All the surrounding members of the Demon Race instantly felt the immortal spirit power around them grow much denser.
The eyes of the ancestors in the Immortal Thearch Realm lit up at once, and they addressed Ye Xingchen in disbelief:
"Imperial Lord, this... could this... could this be... the long-lost... Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation?!"
Hearing the Demon Race's Immortal Emperor ancestors, all the surrounding demons' expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with shock.
Sure enough, the Imperial Lord's gifts shocked them every single time!
Hearing those Immortal Emperor ancestors, Ye Xingchen merely nodded with a calm smile.
"Indeed, this is the Ancient Spirit Gathering Array. It can independently gather the Immortal Spirit Qi between heaven and earth, instantly increasing the Immortal Spirit Qi severalfold throughout the area it covers."
"Ten Thousand Demons Square is a place where the disciples often gather, and it is large enough. I shall place this Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation here. From now on, all Demon Race disciples may come here to cultivate!"
After speaking, Ye Xingchen casually struck out with his palm, embedding the golden, gleaming ancient formation platform into Ten Thousand Demons Square. At the same time, he spoke to the system in his mind:
System, use the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation!
"Ding, Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation successfully used. It has automatically been inscribed into the Demon Race's grand formation."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a dazzling golden radiance flashed, instantly enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Demons Square in golden light. Then that light sank into the void and disappeared.
Everyone discovered to their astonishment that the Immortal Spirit Qi throughout Ten Thousand Demons Square had instantly increased severalfold. Its density was only a shade below that of the Demon Race Ancestral Land.
Now, even those Immortal Emperor ancestors could barely sit still. With such a rich cultivation site, Demon Race disciples would likely break through their realms even faster if they cultivated here.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Ye Xingchen said:
"First Elder, Xiong Wufa, Xiong Wutian, the three of you, go and check immediately. Just how large an area does the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation cover?!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the three immediately nodded in acknowledgment and vanished in a flash.
About half an incense stick later, the three returned with excitement written across their faces. Seeing their excited expressions, everyone waited expectantly for their answer.
"Reporting to the Imperial Lord, the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation spreads outward in all directions from Ten Thousand Demons Square. It actually covers most of the Demon Race's core territory on Cloud Cliff Mountain."
"Even outside Ten Thousand Demons Square, the density of Immortal Spirit Qi has likewise increased severalfold in every Demon Race member's room."
Hearing their answer, excitement shone in the eyes of every member of the Demon Race. With such dense Immortal Spirit Qi, even a pig could cultivate into an immortal in this environment.
At that moment, the density of the Demon Race's Immortal Spirit Qi was not even inferior to that of the secluded titans' sacred sects!
Night.
After a busy day, Ye Xingchen finally lay down on the large bed in Phoenix Perch Palace. Looking at Luo Qingshan nestled in his arms, her face flushed and her manner as docile as a kitten, he felt a surge of smug satisfaction.
As though sensing her husband's smug mood, Luo Qingshan blushed across her exquisite face and shot him a fierce look.
Recalling how this tormentor had teased her just now, Luo Qingshan's eyes grew even shyer.
Ye Xingchen was also secretly savoring the memory, the corners of his lips curling upward, his face brimming with smugness, as though something he had done had left him feeling pleased and secretly delighted.
Seeing the slight curl of Ye Xingchen's lips, how could Luo Qingshan fail to understand what this tormentor was thinking? She beat against his chest in protest, her face scarlet.
After the two had laughed and played around for a while, Luo Qingshan suddenly quieted down. Looking at Ye Xingchen with moist eyes, she said:
"Husband, thank you for everything you've done for the Demon Race. I'm truly touched, and so happy, Shan'er!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words and seeing her tearful eyes, Ye Xingchen lovingly drew her into his embrace.
He kissed Luo Qingshan's forehead tenderly and said gently:
"We are one as husband and wife. I'm willing to do all this for you because you, Shan'er, are my wife! That alone is enough."
"Just as you know full well that I have secrets I'm keeping from you, yet you've never asked about them. You've only ever said this one thing: because I am your husband."
Luo Qingshan knew full well that he had secrets, yet she had never asked about them. How could a woman so understanding, who loved him so deeply, not move Ye Xingchen and earn his deep love?!
At that moment, hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Luo Qingshan hugged him tightly and smiled faintly. A mischievous gleam entered her eyes, and she gave a little huff before saying:
"Hmph, Shan'er isn't like that! I have a question for you right now, husband! Don't try to sweet-talk me!"
Looking at Luo Qingshan in his arms, with that mischievous gleam in her eyes, Ye Xingchen's heart filled with boundless tenderness.
As an empress, Luo Qingshan only revealed her truest, girlish side in front of him.
That mischievous manner was meant to dispel the guilt in his heart. How could he not adore such a clever woman?!
Looking at Luo Qingshan, Ye Xingchen's eyes brimmed with tenderness as he said softly:
"Ask whatever you wish, my wife! I'll tell you everything I know and hold nothing back."
Seeing the tenderness in Ye Xingchen's eyes, Luo Qingshan smiled alluringly and asked:
"Husband, you must be very powerful, right?"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words, Ye Xingchen paused briefly. A roguish expression instantly appeared on his face, and he said to her directly:
"Don't you already know whether your husband is powerful, my wife?!"
Seeing her husband's roguish expression, Luo Qingshan instantly flushed with embarrassment. How could she not realize that her husband had misunderstood her meaning?
Seeing Luo Qingshan's embarrassed expression, Ye Xingchen casually waved his hand, and the entire room instantly went dark. Only Luo Qingshan's bashful voice could be heard from within.
"Husband... husband, that's not what Shan'er meant. You've misunderstood Shan'er."
The next moment, the moon outside the window shyly hid among the clouds, and the entire room instantly grew heated.
Early the next morning, Luo Qingshan slowly woke. Looking at her husband clinging tightly to her like an octopus, she smiled helplessly, her face full of bashfulness, and rolled her eyes at him.
I've thoroughly experienced just how powerful my husband is. This tormentor only knows how to tease me, Luo Qingshan thought, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Suddenly, Qing'er's voice rang out from outside the room:
"Reporting to the Empress, the Mysterious Heaven Sect has come to visit!"
