After Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia returned to Juque State,
Yao Chen’an brought them good news.
After research, it was confirmed that the Boundary Pearl was not damaged, only depleted of energy.
If the energy could be replenished, it could still be used.
This made Ye Yu very happy.
As long as it wasn’t broken, that was what mattered.
Looks like Feng Yingzhi did have some worth after all.
From now on, maybe he’d greet her less often.
However, Yao Chen’an’s next words wiped the smile off Ye Yu’s face again.
“The thing is, ordinary demon stones cannot replenish its energy.
I also tried feeding it with demonic artifacts and demonic immortal tools, but all attempts failed.
So replenishing its energy might take a lot of time.
After all, I have to test them one by one!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu slapped Yao Chen’an on the shoulder seriously:
“Next time don’t breathe so heavily when you speak.
That way is unpleasant, and I really dislike it. Understand?”
“I understand, sorry, Master!”
Yao Chen’an bowed his head slightly to show respect.
Ye Yu waved him off, letting him leave.
Out of sight, out of mind.
But since it was a lack of energy, how exactly should it be replenished?
Damn, had he known, he would have asked Ran Jingjing more back then—maybe she knew the answer.
But now it was too late.
If demon stones didn’t work, then immortal stones surely wouldn’t either.
Could it be ghost stones?
That thought suddenly brightened Ye Yu’s eyes.
Yes, that was right!
The Boundary Pearl was an ancient Underworld artifact.
Even if its energy was depleted, it naturally needed ghost stones from the Underworld to replenish it.
That made perfect sense.
Ye Yu had been to the Underworld, but after the dream ended and he was rewarded with cultivation methods and Underworld artifacts, he didn’t have a single ghost stone.
Thinking this, Ye Yu sighed.
Beside him, Pei Chuxia saw his expression
And instinctively thought he was upset with Yao Chen’an.
That made sense—first good news, then a blow right after.
Who could bear that?
Apparently, people who breathe heavily when speaking were not good people.
So Pei Chuxia stepped forward to comfort him:
“Husband, don’t be angry.
Maybe Yao Chen’an will soon solve the Boundary Pearl’s energy issue.
Besides, even if he really can’t,
You can use the Boundary Breaking Stone with me to go to the mortal realm.
Remember, the Boundary Breaking Stone was meant for an entire state’s demons.
Transmitting the two of us there is more than enough.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
Go to the mortal realm?
If that was true, it was indeed worth a try.
Strictly speaking, there were still many wives of his on Qingyun Sect’s Five Fingers Peak.
It would be necessary to tell them,
After ascending to the Heavenly Realm, don’t roam around aimlessly—
Go straight to Wu Wei Tower.
That would save them from flying around blindly like headless flies.
Moreover, the current central Heavenly Realm was quite unstable.
Roaming around was very dangerous.
However, before going to the mortal realm, replenishing the Boundary Pearl’s energy couldn’t be neglected.
Otherwise, once arriving in the mortal realm, replenishment would be impossible.
Then Ye Yu shared his guess about ghost stones.
Pei Chuxia’s expression grew serious.
Thinking carefully, Ye Yu’s deduction was certainly correct.
Underworld artifacts naturally required ghost stones to replenish energy.
Since demonic energy and ghost energy differed greatly,
The Boundary Pearl naturally resisted demonic energy.
But now that they were in the Demon Realm, where could they find ghost stones?
This question was truly unsolvable.
After much thought, Pei Chuxia said solemnly:
“Why don’t we try another way?
Demon stones contain demonic energy.
By analogy, ghost stones should be filled with ghost energy.
Since that’s the case,
Why not try using spirits to replace ghost energy and fill the Boundary Pearl?
Theoretically, it should work.
Besides, I saw in the Nirvana State Demon King Palace
That you can control many spirits.
No harm in trying!”
Ye Yu’s eyes brightened immediately.
He had to admit, this was a new approach.
Spirits were indeed full of ghost energy.
Maybe it really could work!
With that thought,
Ye Yu no longer hesitated and acted immediately.
He again controlled Yao Chen’an’s mind and returned,
Handing over the Boundary Pearl.
But during the experiment, Ye Yu didn’t use the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk map.
Its aura was too powerful, after all, containing not only spirits but also ghost deity shadows.
Ye Yu feared accidentally overloading the Boundary Pearl, which would be a huge loss.
After much consideration,
He finally took out the Summoning Banner Lu Xian.
The moment it was summoned,
The blood-red sky darkened drastically,
As if night had fallen.
Nearly a thousand-zhang tall summoning banner fluttered in the wind,
Ghostly cries of pain endlessly echoed.
Ye Yu quietly tossed the Boundary Pearl into the air,
Then gathered the spirits summoned by Lu Xian,
Wrapping them completely inside.
When the first spirit was absorbed into the Boundary Pearl,
Ye Yu was overjoyed.
He then changed hand movements,
Continuously guiding spirits into it.
As time passed,
The Boundary Pearl once again radiated bright light,
And the star cluster at its center reappeared.
Everything was developing favorably.
Half an hour later,
The Boundary Pearl fully restored all its power.
It dropped into Ye Yu’s hand.
He was very pleased,
Immediately pulling Pei Chuxia into his embrace.
Indeed, having a wise wife at one’s side was truly a blessing.
Ye Yu then withdrew the summoning banner Lu Xian,
Calculating in his mind:
This charge only consumed one-fifth of the spirits in Lu Xian.
The loss was not too great.
Moreover, the spirits in Lu Xian could be replenished anytime.
No need to worry about the Boundary Pearl’s energy supply in the future.
It was simply exhilarating.
While Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia were happily celebrating,
Unbeknownst to them, someone had already set their sights on them.
In a forest a thousand miles away,
A Shadow Demon hidden in the shadows squinted slightly.
This was the recently awakened Demon Sovereign Realm powerhouse, Dongfang Po.
The ghost energy—that dense aura just now—
Was undoubtedly ghost energy.
He absolutely did not misfeel it.
What had happened during his slumber?
Why had such dense ghost energy appeared in the Demon Realm?
Had the Six Realms’ passage reopened again?
Dongfang Po was ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) puzzled but did not advance to investigate.
Instead, he stood quietly.
Because he had just awakened, his strength had not fully recovered.
Plus the overwhelming ghost energy,
He chose to hold his position,
Planning to wait a few hours until he recovered to peak power before making plans.
But what surprised Dongfang Po was that the ghost energy soon disappeared.
Had it already left?
