Chapter 588: Chapter 584: The Truth Behind the Demon and Nether Races’ Invasion

Sun Yang originally had a strong affection for his daughter, who had extraordinary talent in alchemy, and could only let out a soft sigh as he looked at her blushing face.

"Forget it, judging by today, if I ask you to refine pills again, you won’t be able to concentrate."

"Let’s leave it for today. You two have been apart for so long; surely you have a lot to talk about."

"But wait until this time tomorrow, compose yourself, and I’ll come back to watch you refine a Golden Core."

He gave Sun Yazhu a glare: "If you still haven’t made any progress and waste another set of materials, I’ll have to ask this lad what manners he has, avoiding the main entrance of the Divine King Hall and coming straight to your room without reason."

Sun Yazhu’s face turned pale, and she instinctively defended, "He’s my husband, he can come into my room if he wants... "

Sun Yang clicked his tongue lightly: "Alright, alright, stop making excuses. I won’t get in your way today; let’s talk about it tomorrow."

After speaking, he left without breaking through space or making any commotion, just casually pushing the door open and leaving.

Before leaving, he glanced at Xia Feng, sized him up a few times, and left without saying whether he was satisfied or not.

Xia Feng felt a little uncomfortable, but it was Sun Yazhu who broke the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have found a suitable excuse to send him away."

Xia Feng coughed lightly: "I got the news from the Celestial Sword Mother-in-law that there was a problem on this side of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, and I thought it would be chaotic here, so I just wanted to come over early to protect you. I didn’t expect he’d be here with you while you refined pills."

Sun Yazhu had a slightly embarrassed smile on her face: "My father doesn’t usually mind me, but he’s particularly strict about alchemy."

"Even a slight slack, and he’d come running with a bamboo stick to spank my palm."

Xia Feng felt a bit distressed, but seeing Sun Yazhu’s happy demeanor and her casual way of speaking, he paused and didn’t voice his thoughts.

On the other hand, Li Qingxue beside them burst into laughter: "I think Sister Yazhu is just blessed and doesn’t know it."

"Earlier, my mother didn’t discipline me much either. It was only after I was appointed as the successor that she guided me personally."

"Hearing you talk like this, Sister Yazhu, I suspect you’re bragging."

Sun Yazhu’s beautiful eyes widened: "I’m not implying that, don’t falsely accuse me."

The three women laughed and bantered for a while before calming down to seriously ask about the demon and death god invasion.

"I saw that the Celestial Sword Mother-in-law didn’t seem too alarmed and only sent people over as usual. Plus, we didn’t sense any annoying Demonic Qi or Death Qi nearby the Divine Maiden Hall. So perhaps the situation isn’t that bad?"

Sun Yazhu laughed helplessly: "Speaking of this, it actually stirs up once every millennium."

"Although it’s my first time encountering such a thing, my father and all the Divine Domains are used to it by now. It’s not considered a significant issue."

Next to her, Li Qingxue poked her in the side with a smile: "When my husband heard from my mother that something happened in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, he rushed over urgently without even getting rid of his fatigue, which shows the position you hold as his first wife."

As Sun Yazhu avoided her mischievous hand, she laughed coquettishly, begging for mercy: "You know I’m most ticklish, spare me, and I’ll tell you all the details."

Only then did Li Qingxue withdraw her hand, listening to Sun Yazhu recount the past events of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain.

"This matter is closely related to the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, which opens once every thousand years. The Demon and Nether Races invade every millennium as well. It’s just that this time, due to disturbances in the Netherworld, a gap appeared in the barrier between the Life Divine Domain and the Netherworld, allowing more demons and death gods to escape than usual, and their scale was bigger than before."

Xia Feng’s eyebrow raised, his curiosity about the Celestial Pill Secret Realm piqued instantly: "To provoke the covetous eyes of the Demon and Nether Realms, I suppose many good things are bound to emerge from the Celestial Pill Secret Realm?"

Like the secret treasures in the Infinite Secret Realm and the Celestial Sound Secret Realm, there aren’t many, so you won’t find the Demon Race and Nether Race there much, but in the Celestial Sword Secret Realm, there are some traces of the Demon Race.

And now, the Celestial Pill Divine Domain is attracting the younger generations of the two races like mad, charging toward the Celestial Pill Divine Domain as if it’s a matter of life and death, making quite a stir.

If there weren’t things in the Celestial Pill Secret Realm that attract the two races, only a fool would do such thankless effort.

Sure enough, Sun Yazhu nodded earnestly: "There’s a kind of Celestial Pill Secret Treasure in the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, which can directly enhance a cultivator below the Divine King by one major realm."

"If one reaches the Main God Realm, consuming the Celestial Pill allows a breakthrough to become a Divine King, with no side effects whatsoever — effective even for demons and death gods." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"So every time the Celestial Pill Secret Realm opens, demons and death gods invade the Celestial Pill Divine Domain."

Xia Feng took a sharp breath; that’s a whole major realm, wouldn’t the people of the Ten Great Divine Domains go crazy over this medicinal effect?

Even Li Qingxue and Sun Yazhu next to him clicked their tongues in surprise: "I’ve never heard the elders speak of such things; it must be like inheritance, extremely rare."

Sun Yazhu paused before speaking: "It also depends on fate. In past records I’ve reviewed, sometimes one cycle of the Celestial Pill Secret Realm can produce more than a dozen Celestial Pills, but sometimes not a single Celestial Pill appears in a whole cycle."

Xia Feng slightly furrowed his brow: "Since they’re so few in number, why doesn’t your Celestial Pill Divine Domain completely seal off the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, like other secret realms, issuing tokens for entry, preventing the Demon Race and Nether Race from exploiting loopholes?"

Sun Yazhu’s face looked troubled: "Easy to say, hard to implement."

"The Celestial Pill lineage is primarily adept in alchemy and lacks attack methods, so when these two races come to cause trouble, we really can’t resist them."

"However, the spatial barrier between the Ten Great Divine Domains and these two races is even thicker than the barrier between the Lower Realm and the Divine Domain. Demons and nether beings above the Main God Realm can’t cross over, and if we ask two or three Divine Kings from various Divine Domains to act, we can completely resolve these aberrations."

"But that’s the problem. No matter which Divine Domain’s Divine Kings we invite, we have to allot them some slots for entering the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, making others feel it’s unfair."

"So, the elder of our Clan Leader directly sought Divine Kings from each of the Ten Great Divine Domains to send their juniors over to help. On one hand, in hopes of getting a Celestial Pill, on the other, as a form of training."
