At that moment, hearing Ye Xingchen's supremely commanding words, all the Demon Race elders looked up at him as he rose to his feet, their eyes brimming with excitement.
Ye Xingchen radiated an astonishing presence that swept across the six directions and engulfed all eight quarters.
It made Ye Xingchen seem like an ancient sovereign, standing above all living beings and compelling others to bow in worship.
Beside him, Luo Qingshan gazed at his back, which now resembled that of an ancient sovereign radiating an astonishing presence. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep pride and affection!
Looking at that imposing back, Luo Qingshan felt utterly at ease, as though it could shield her from every difficulty and danger in the world.
Turning to see the admiration and affection in Luo Qingshan's eyes, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said:
"Wife, I remember you saying that you spent several years among the Human Race, partly to gain experience and partly to search for a pill that could heal the injuries caused by a failed breakthrough. Have you found such a pill yet?"
At Ye Xingchen's words, a trace of sadness flashed through Luo Qingshan's eyes. She shook her head slightly and said:
"I found it-the Supreme Good Fortune Pill refined by the Supreme Purity Palace. But this pill is the very foundation of the Supreme Purity Palace. Even Human Race factions face countless difficulties obtaining a single one. Our Demon Race can forget about it!"
"But no matter how difficult it is, I must find a pill that can heal the injuries caused by failed breakthroughs. These clansmen were all once the Demon Race's greatest heavenly geniuses. They sacrificed far too much for the Demon Race. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will not give up!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words, the elders below also looked dejected.
Those experts were all seniors of the Demon Race. Now, because their origins had been damaged, they could no longer advance, remaining trapped in the Immortal Emperor Realm and unable to break through to the Immortal Thearch Realm.
If they could find a pill capable of healing such injuries, these seniors would not only recover, but, with all their years of accumulation, would certainly be able to attempt another breakthrough into the Immortal Thearch Realm and succeed.
When that happened, the Demon Race as a whole would become even stronger.
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words and seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Xingchen looked at her and sighed softly:
"Ah! Wife, your husband is very disappointed. A ninth-grade alchemist is standing right in front of you, yet you all ignore him. You've truly disappointed your husband!"
At that moment, everyone inside the Empress Palace heard Ye Xingchen's words. Their expressions instantly changed, and they looked up at him in excitement.
Luo Qingshan came to Ye Xingchen's side in even greater excitement and took his hand, her eyes filled with anticipation as she asked:
"Husband... do you mean you can refine this kind of pill?!!"
Seeing Luo Qingshan's excitement, Ye Xingchen gave a soft snort, pretending to be angry:
"Hmph! To think you all ignored a ninth-grade alchemist. Your husband is very angry now, and the consequences are serious!"
The elders below looked at Ye Xingchen's feigned anger, then at Luo Qingshan's expression. They shook their heads helplessly and tactfully kept quiet.
Seeing Ye Xingchen behaving like a child, Luo Qingshan smiled helplessly. How could she not know what this tormentor of hers was thinking? She leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
At Luo Qingshan's words, Ye Xingchen's eyes instantly lit up. He looked at her flushed face and chuckled mischievously, earning himself a roll of her eyes.
As though he had become a different person, Ye Xingchen smiled at Luo Qingshan and said:
"Wife, have those seniors come to the Empress Palace! Your husband will treat them right away!"
What a joke. He had countless drops of the Divine Spring of Life rewarded by the system. A single drop could extend one's lifespan by fifty years, restore one to their original state, and heal severe injuries. Mere injuries to their origins were no problem at all.
Although these Demon Race experts could no longer break through, their cultivation realms had not regressed. This showed that only their origins had been damaged by heavenly tribulations; they had not suffered Heavenly Dao Injuries.
If they had suffered Heavenly Dao Injuries, the consequences would be grave. Not only would they be unable to advance, but their cultivation realms would slowly regress, and their strength would continue to weaken until they became piles of withered bones.
They would also suffer the torment of Heavenly Dao Injuries at every moment, something no ordinary person could endure!
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Luo Qingshan looked excited, anticipation filling her eyes as she hurriedly said:
"Husband...!"
Seeing her excitement, Ye Xingchen clasped her hand tightly before she could finish.
"Rest assured, wife. Your husband understands. Just invite those Demon Race seniors to the Empress Palace without worry!"
Ye Xingchen gave Luo Qingshan a reassuring look, clasped her hand tightly, and spoke.
Hearing her husband's words and seeing the reassurance in Ye Xingchen's eyes, Luo Qingshan's eyes filled with excitement. She immediately said:
"Grand Elder, invite those seniors to the Empress Palace at once!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's instructions, Grand Elder Wan Qianli dared not delay. He bowed slightly to Luo Qingshan and Ye Xingchen, then vanished.
The remaining Demon Race elders below looked at Ye Xingchen with eyes full of excitement.
If the Imperial Consort truly could heal those Demon Race seniors, the Demon Race would gain dozens of Immortal Thearch Realm experts, leaping into the ranks of the Divine Desolation's superpowers and standing equal to those hidden titans and holy land factions.
A short while later, dozens of Demon Race experts followed the Grand Elder into the Empress Palace.
Only after bowing to the two of them did these dozens of Demon Race experts look at Ye Xingchen in excitement.
Seeing the excitement in these Demon Race seniors' eyes, Ye Xingchen knew the Grand Elder must have told them something. He smiled faintly and said:
"Seniors, you are all pillars of the Demon Race. I imagine you already know why the Empress invited you here."
"Since that is the case, I will waste no words. Seniors, please consume the Divine Spring of Life before you!"
He looked at these Demon Race experts. They should have been ancestral figures of the Demon Race, yet their failed tribulations had left them trapped in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
As Ye Xingchen spoke, he casually waved his hand, and dozens of drops of the Divine Spring of Life, radiating dense Life Qi, appeared before these Demon Race seniors.
Everyone throughout the Empress Palace felt that incredibly dense Life Qi.
Seeing the green plants inside the Empress Palace begin to grow taller, they all looked shocked and thought:
Such dense Life Qi! It actually made the plants grow taller in such a short time.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the Demon Race members, Ye Xingchen said directly:
"Seniors, please consume the Divine Spring of Life at once, then sit cross-legged, heal the injuries within your bodies, and break straight through to the Immortal Thearch Realm!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the dozens of Demon Race experts hesitated no longer. They immediately drew the Divine Spring of Life before them into their mouths, closed their eyes, and sat cross-legged.
Everyone felt the power of life emanating from these Demon Race experts' bodies.
At that moment, these Demon Race seniors' bodies were like deserts blessed with sweet rain. Dense Life Qi continually nourished their bodies and repaired their origins.
Their lifespans also increased by fifty years unseen, while their presence continually grew stronger. Such was the power of the Divine Spring of Life.
About an incense stick's worth of time later, all the Demon Race seniors opened their eyes almost simultaneously, releasing terrifying waves of Immortal Thearch Realm pressure.
Dozens of waves of Immortal Thearch Realm pressure formed storms of energy that bore down in every direction. Feeling these terrifying waves of pressure, everyone else looked excited.
These Demon Race seniors had all endured terrifying heavenly tribulations, but their damaged origins had prevented them from breaking through to the Immortal Thearch Realm again.
Now that the injuries to their origins had healed, they did not need to undergo another heavenly tribulation. With their many years of accumulation, they naturally broke through to the Immortal Thearch Realm.
This also propelled the Demon Race into the ranks of the Divine Desolation Continent's superpowers, filling everyone in the Empress Palace with excitement.
At that moment, everyone turned their eyes toward Ye Xingchen, their gazes filled with boundless excitement and admiration.
Those Demon Race experts who had broken through to the Immortal Thearch Realm went so far as to drop to one knee before Ye Xingchen and say:
"Thank you, Imperial Consort. Please accept our bows!"
"Thank you, Imperial Consort. Please accept our bows!"
Seeing the Demon Race seniors actually kneel on one knee before Ye Xingchen, everyone looked shocked. Luo Qingshan's eyes shone with delight!
Among the Demon Race, kneeling on one knee symbolized complete allegiance. How could the allegiance of dozens of Immortal Thearch Realm experts not shock them?
Ye Xingchen hurriedly urged these Demon Race seniors to rise, saying:
"We're all family here. Seniors, there's no need for this. Please, rise!"
Only after hearing Ye Xingchen's words did these Demon Race seniors, who had just broken through to the Immortal Thearch Realm, slowly rise.
Yet their eyes remained filled with respect as they looked at Ye Xingchen!
Ye Xingchen turned and took Luo Qingshan's hand. Seeing the joy and deep affection in her eyes, he laughed heartily, a surge of heroic spirit rising within him.
"Today, our seniors have restored their origins and broken through to the Immortal Thearch Realm, propelling our Demon Race into the ranks of the superpowers. This calls for celebration!"
As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a sight appeared that shocked everyone below.
Seeing the scene before him, Grand Elder Wan Qianli kept swallowing, completely losing the bearing an expert ought to have.
