Chapter 481: Chapter 479: Can We Make a Meal? Arrival at the Destination, the Heavenly Origin Stele’s First Place Appears!

Seeing this, Youluo was somewhat puzzled, but watching the speed of Lu Ye surge instantly, she hurried to keep up.

At the same moment their speed increased, a team from the Wolf Demon clan swiftly approached from behind.

In the center was a strikingly beautiful female demon from the Wolf Race.

Qin Qingqing, among the Celestial Wolf Race’s team, looked around, somewhat bored with the sights.

Suddenly, the two figures ahead sped up abruptly, piquing Qin Qingqing’s interest. As her gaze followed, she was stunned.

One wore a black robe, his appearance indiscernible.

The other seemed, from such a distance—even as a cultivator—only visible from the back, perhaps shaped like a young man?

Yet... why does that silhouette look familiar?

"Hmm, who is this? I don’t know many from the Human Race in Yuan Province," Qin Qingqing pondered in confusion.

Her Celestial Wolf Race came to Yuan Province because many Demon Race individuals also resided here.

This trip was to attend the Hundred Demon Gathering.

In human terms, it’s... gathering together out of boredom for some chatting and boasting.

After pondering a moment, just as Qin Qingqing was ready to dismiss it, suddenly, a shadow from not long ago appeared in her mind.

Back when a young Human Race cultivator left Demon Saint Province...

She thought it was just an ordinary Human Race cultivator, but he actively revealed his identity—which angered her greatly at the time—a Human Race she had wanted to capture!

At that moment, that young man had transformed, becoming the most terrifying cultivator on the Demon Saint Stele in a millennium!

Because of that warning, Qin Qingqing decided to dismantle the checkpoints in the Celestial Wolf Race’s territory after some contemplation.

Since then, although she occasionally patrolled various places in the territory, she never saw that young Human Race again.

Now, within the boundaries of Yuan Province, did she somehow see that familiar silhouette again?

"It can’t be him... he’s probably not from Yuan Province."

Moments later, Qin Qingqing shook her head, thinking perhaps it was a mistake.

"Ah, Lu Yan... Famous from a young age, you’ve become a topic of discussion at any moment in Demon Saint Province."

At this thought, Qin Qingqing’s gaze wavered slightly.

...

On the other side.

After accelerating away from that Celestial Wolf Demon clan team, Lu Ye slowed down and continued towards Celestial Origin City.

"Husband Lord, why did you go so fast just now? Was there something wrong with that Demon Race team?" Behind him, Youluo asked curiously like a child.

"No problem, just wanted to reach Celestial Origin City quickly." Lu Ye smiled slightly upon hearing.

"Shall we speed up a bit then?"

"Oh, Husband Lord... can we cook a meal together?"

At this, Youluo spoke openly, seemingly unfazed by her sudden request being surprising.

She only knew it seemed like ten days had passed since the last time!

Everyone cooks daily; once every ten days to half a month shouldn’t be too much, right?

On hearing this, Lu Ye coughed.

"You really are assisting Jiang Qingge."

Sometime later, the two arrived outside the grand Celestial Origin City.

On the way, Lu Ye did not let Youluo cook right away; rather, he planned to discuss it after ranking.

Upon entering the city, eight parallel wide roads displayed various domesticated Spirit Beasts used for transportation, and the passersby were nearly all cultivators with cultivation.

As they entered, it was afternoon, nearing evening.

Conveniently, they found an inn and got two top-tier rooms, planning to rank again at midnight.

Unexpectedly, shortly after checking in, Youluo didn’t stay in her room. Instead, she knocked and slipped into Lu Ye’s room.

"Husband Lord, we... hehehe." Youluo giggled foolishly.

Lu Ye helplessly shook his head.

Might she be addicted to the fun of cooking?

Given this relationship, Lu Ye wasn’t one to be restrained and instantly set up a protective barrier, allowing Youluo to begin.

Though doing this before ranking certainly would lower one’s spirits somewhat, possibly affecting some strengths.

Yet now, for Lu Ye, this minor effect was negligible.

Two hours later...

The night deepened in the sky.

Throughout Celestial Origin City, pedestrians dwindled, creating a sudden emptiness on the streets.

Inside an inn, two figures, fully dressed, headed toward the largest square in the city.

Youluo, evidently feeling joyous again by her Husband Lord’s side, exhibited visible happiness, with a hint of blush on her little face.

"It’s so fun! Husband Lord, how did you know so many tricks?"

Youluo asked curiously.

Lu Ye: "..."

Nonetheless, as two strong cultivation cultivators, various tricks were indeed effortless, ready at a call.

Moments later, upon reaching Celestial Origin City square, Lu Ye immediately focused on the one-hundred-meter stele, its appearance and design quite consistent.

At that moment, about a dozen or so people were scattered around the vast square.

Lu Ye decided not to wait any longer; after all, with his current cultivation, the subsequent ranking rewards were nearly useless for him.

Thus, Lu Ye planned not to waste time, targeting to rank first on the Celestial Origin Stele.

Once he ranks, inevitably the same phenomenon would rise to the sky, attracting numerous cultivators.

Among the square, a few nearby loose cultivators, witnessing Lu Ye ascending rapidly, directly soared above the Celestial Origin Stele.

Instantly, "Lu Yan" transformed into two intertwined streams of light, shooting straight up from the stele’s base...

The name Chen Beixuan had been overused, so after pondering, Lu Ye settled on his latest alias.

Immediately, those still in the square witnessed a shocking scene.

The Celestial Origin Stele that had been silent for decades... suddenly seemed to have consumed a Spirit Medicine.

A dazzling golden beam of light swiftly surged towards the sky!

"This is... such terrifying energy!"

"Someone... reached first on the Celestial Origin Stele?!" a loose cultivator trembled.

Hundreds of miles from Celestial Origin City, a sprawling mountain range, usually not bustling.

But now, it was a gathering location for this Hundred Demon Gathering, drawing many from the Demon Race.

As the sky brightened hundreds of miles away, numerous Great Demons in the mountains stirred.
