Chapter 2485

"Let's begin." Yan Aohan observed Zhu Yanyi’s condition and knew they could not stay long.

Ouyang Tianyun looked around and said, "We can build a battlefield for ten thousand demons, but it would be better to create an illusionary arena. Everyone enters with their spiritual power. If they fail or are 'killed,' they simply exit. They won't truly die, but they will experience the reality of life and death. The effect will still be significant."

Zhu Yanyi agreed with Ouyang Tianyun’s suggestion. "Senior Brother Tianyun’s idea is good. Since that is the case, we can help create it. Consider it a favor owed to us by the future Demon Emperor."

The future Demon Emperor had not even appeared yet, yet they had already decided he owed them a debt.

The strange part was that neither Yan Aohan nor Ouyang Tianyun objected to Zhu Yanyi’s words.

Yan Aohan surveyed the surroundings and said, "Let’s go. The center is ahead. We should head there." She spoke to Zhu Yanyi and Ouyang Tianyun.

Zhu Yanyi and Ouyang Tianyun nodded and followed Yan Aohan to the middle.

Yan Aohan looked at the area and said to Ouyang Tianyun, "This time, you and I will help Ani."

Purifying this place was not difficult for Zhu Yanyi, but since she was pregnant, Yan Aohan was worried. That was why she spoke to Ouyang Tianyun.

Ouyang Tianyun naturally had no objections. She extended both hands, and the Heavenly Book appeared. Yan Aohan flipped her hand, and the Earthly Book appeared. Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi summoned the Human Book as well.

The three books—Heaven, Earth, and Human—merged. Purifying the environment became simple.

However, this was only the first step. After purifying the environment, they needed to purify the hearts, specifically the demonic hearts.

After the three of them recalled the books, Zhu Yanyi sat on the ground. She began forming hand seals continuously. Her cinnabar mole transformed into a lotus flower again. One by one, lotus flowers floated out, spreading through the entire battlefield of ten thousand demons with the sunlight, the wind, and the air.

Whether demon or human, everyone present noticed that the original hostility had vanished. Their minds seemed much more peaceful.

They put down their weapons one by one, sat on the ground, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and peace.

After an unknown amount of time, they woke up. Looking around, they saw no one nearby, but several lines of text had appeared in the sky:

"The battlefield of ten thousand demons is too cruel. From today on, the physical battlefield is changed to an array battlefield. Beings entering the array compete with spiritual power. Death in the array does not harm life. All lives in the world are equal. Do not give up lightly. Be cautious. Be cautious. Left by the Yan Emperor and Yan Empress of the Yanluo Realm."

Instantly, the entire demon world was shocked.

Opening the battlefield of ten thousand demons had originally been a necessity for the demons, a way to seek breakthroughs on the edge of life and death. Who wanted to die if they could avoid it? So, when these words appeared, all beings in the demon world cheered.

The Yan Emperor and Yan Empress were the most noble rulers of the Yanluo Realm. They had actually given them a path to survival. Upon reflection, it made sense. As rulers of life, death, and reincarnation, they naturally understood how difficult it was for demons to survive.

Because of this, the demons of the demon world developed a sense of longing for the Yan Emperor and Yan Empress in their hearts.

Power of faith poured directly into Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan’s bodies, and also into Ouyang Tianyun’s. Among the three, Ouyang Tianyun received the least faith, but her karmic merit did not decrease much, since her Heavenly Book had contributed significantly.

After handling everything regarding the battlefield of ten thousand demons, Zhu Yanyi did not wish to stay. Together with Yan Aohan, she led Ouyang Tianyun through the demon world and returned to the Immortal Realm.

Naturally, they returned to their Suiyuan Pharmacy.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi and the others return, the Black Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly. "Ten years have passed. It seems you have done quite well."

"It has been ten years. Why is your belly still not big?" the Empress asked curiously, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

"I am pregnant, but it is really not very big. After all, it is a single baby," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"I told you, let me help you have multiples. That would be so much better," the Empress said with great enthusiasm.

Yan Aohan said from the side, "One is enough. And after this birth, we do not plan to have more."

Yan Aohan felt it was better to clarify things first, to prevent the Empress from being too enthusiastic and plotting against them.

That was right. Others might not understand the Wushuang Empress, but everyone present, except Zhu Yanyi and Ouyang Tianyun, knew her well.

She was simply someone who loved to join in the fun. If they really wanted twins or multiples, she would actually do it.

Yan Aohan cared more about his wife. For him, one child was enough. For people like them, having one child, regardless of gender, was sufficient. Besides, they nominally already had two sons.

The Empress looked regretful. "Is one really enough?"

"Enough," Yan Aohan answered firmly.

"Alright," the Empress said. Although she looked regretful and惋惜, she did not force them.

After Ouyang Tianyun greeted the Immortal Emperor and Empress, he explained the situation from their trip.

The Immortal Emperor had already known. Seeing Ouyang Tianyun’s relaxed demeanor, he also knew that Ouyang Tianyun had resolved his inner conflicts, which put him at ease.

"By the way, how is my disciple while I was away?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

"She is doing very well. Your disciple is excellent in sword cultivation. To be honest, I think you were like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. You randomly found a seed with very good sword cultivation aptitude," the Black Emperor said seriously. "You can evaluate her when you have time."

Since the Black Emperor had promised to help cultivate the disciples of the Azure Sovereign Sect, he had not been negligent for a single moment during these ten years.

"That is truly wonderful," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "But I will evaluate her after I return from the Yanluo Realm."

"You are going back to the Yanluo Realm?" the Black Emperor asked.

Yan Aohan said, "It has been some years since we left. We must go back to handle some matters. My wife and I will return for a few days. We leave this place in your care for now." After speaking, Yan Aohan slipped away with Zhu Yanyi, not caring whether the Black Emperor could react in time.

By the time the Black Emperor realized what happened, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan had long left.

"These two ran too fast," the Black Emperor said to the Empress. "Do you think I would stop them from leaving?"

The Empress laughed. "It’s not that you would stop them. It’s that they want to slack off."

The Black Emperor was speechless. "Am I that kind of person? If they have matters to attend to, would I stop them?"
