The Refining Demon Pot was a divine artifact, now under the control of Yan Qiqi, who was recognized as its master by the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit. Even if Yan Qiqi did not require such formalities, the spirit had no choice but to comply.
As an Artifact Spirit, it had to adhere to the rules of the Refining Demon Pot; otherwise, it would face punishment from the pot, which it could not afford.
The more powerful the weapon, the more rules its Artifact Spirit had to follow. For a divine artifact like the Refining Demon Pot, the regulations were even stricter.
Yan Qiqi nodded, not particularly concerned about how the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit addressed her.
She delicately handled the Refining Demon Pot, feeling a sense of attachment to it.
“Brother, does this Refining Demon Pot belong to me from now on?” Yan Qiqi asked Wei Chen.
Wei Chen nodded as if it were obvious. “You are its master now; naturally, it belongs to you. Explore its uses and help me in the future.”
“Thank you, brother.” Yan Qiqi felt a sweetness in her heart. A divine artifact—Wei Chen was willing to give it to her, making her feel significant in his eyes.
Yan Qiqi, who had never sought anything for herself, unexpectedly received the greatest benefit. Neither she nor Wei Chen had anticipated this.
“Old Fellow, what is your name?” Wei Chen asked the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit casually.
Previously, Wei Chen had shown respect towards the spirit, but now that Yan Qiqi was recognized as its master, he felt entitled to consider himself half a master as well and did not need to be overly respectful. He harbored a slight desire for revenge after being looked down upon by the spirit for so long.
Unfortunately for him, the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit did not acknowledge Wei Chen at all.
The old fellow shot Wei Chen a cold glance and snorted disdainfully without responding.
“Senior, what is your name?” Yan Qiqi asked with a smile at Wei Chen before turning her attention back to the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit.
“Master, I do not have a name; you may simply call me Artifact Spirit,” replied the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit respectfully.
Its attitude towards Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi was distinctly different.
Wei Chen smirked and said, "Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit, you should assist Yan Qiqi well and shape her into a true Demon Path King."
"I know, this is our demon clan's matter, no need for the human race to meddle. If you keep nagging, I won't provide the method to condense the Heart of the World, and then you'll have something to cry about," Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit coldly threatened Wei Chen.
Wei Chen calmly accepted the threat from Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit and replied with a smile, "Senior, you can handle it as you wish. As a Demon Path King, if you don't control a Spatial Plane and fail to become a Boundary God, it would be quite embarrassing for you as a Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit, wouldn't it?"
"That is natural."
"So, teach Yan Qiqi everything you know. I'm counting on her to become a Boundary God of the Nine Immortal Realm. What do you think?" Wei Chen asked lightly.
Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit nodded and said, "This plan is feasible. With the Refining Demon Pot, it means there is hope for Ascend to Godhood. I will do my best."
Wei Chen smiled in satisfaction while Yan Qiqi listened in astonishment to the conversation between Wei Chen and Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit, incredulously asking, "Brother, can I also Ascend to Godhood?"
"You underestimate the artifact too much. If you control the Refining Demon Pot, it would be strange if you didn't Ascend to Godhood."
"That's wonderful! If I become a god, doesn't that mean I can be with you forever?" Yan Qiqi exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing Yan Qiqi's words and seeing her excited expression moved Wei Chen somewhat. This woman truly thought of him in every way! Even her desire to Ascend to Godhood was merely to be together with him forever.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Chen's feelings for Yan Qiqi were the deepest among all the women he knew.
Sometimes Yan Qiqi gave Wei Chen the impression of being silly, but as the saying goes, foolish people have their own blessings; Yan Qiqi was a perfect example. She had no desires or demands yet progressed the fastest and possessed the strongest bloodline. Now she had inexplicably become a Demon Path King.
Although Wei Chen didn't know how strong this so-called Demon Path King would be, he could already sense an aura of great demon from Yan Qiqi. This aura even surprised Wei Chen, who was a First-Level Deity. Previously, Yan Qiqi exuded a gentle neighborly girl vibe—tender and understanding, making one feel comfortable. But now, while her aura still retained that gentleness, it was infused with an additional touch of otherworldliness and sanctity.
Otherworldliness and sanctity were two entirely different sensations.
Wei Chen could clearly sense that Yan Qiqi exuded both an otherworldly and a sacred aura, without a doubt.
"Otherworldly... Sacred... How can these coexist in one person? She has just begun to master the Refining Demon Pot, and already she possesses such a presence. I wonder how powerful she will become in the future!"
"The otherworldly aura must come from the demon race; even demon beasts that have taken human form carry that essence. As for the sacredness, it likely stems from the Demon Path King—royal dignity that is both noble and kind, resulting in this sacred aura."
Wei Chen speculated quietly, his admiration for Yan Qiqi growing even stronger. Even as she became the Demon Path King, with a high probability of ascending to godhood in the future, Yan Qiqi remained gentle and composed. Aside from her initial joy at the prospect of being able to be with Wei Chen forever after ascending to godhood, she showed no other romantic feelings.
Such a girl was truly rare. Wei Chen would never forget that during his most difficult times, it was Yan Qiqi who repeatedly provided him with energy, allowing him to quickly enhance his strength. Without her, he might have been eliminated long ago.
Both the Demon Lotus Emperor and Yan Qiqi were great benefactors to Wei Chen, a fact he would never forget.
His feelings for Yan Qiqi were a blend of love and gratitude.
Wei Chen affectionately ruffled Yan Qiqi's hair and said gently, "Yes, strive to master the Refining Demon Pot's abilities and ascend to godhood soon. That way, no matter where I go, I can take you with me."
"Brother, I will do my best," Yan Qiqi replied with a bright smile.
Wei Chen's promise of taking her wherever he went deeply resonated with Yan Qiqi; after all, that had always been her dream! Her dream was simple: to follow Wei Chen wherever he went.
The Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit watched Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi converse from the side, feeling somewhat moved. Although he had some reservations about Wei Chen, he held deep respect for Yan Qiqi, who possessed the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Bloodline. The Refining Demon Pot was an artifact of legendary status, existing since the dawn of creation. In contrast, the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit was merely an Artifact Spirit born naturally within the Refining Demon Pot; essentially, he was just an instruction manual for using it.
The Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit's status was not high.
He sensed the profound bond between Wei Chen and his master Yan Qiqi and gradually found himself harboring fewer objections toward Wei Chen. As long as Wei Chen didn’t engage him in pointless chatter—just nonsense—the Refining Demon Cauldron Spirit had no issues.
At that moment, Yan Qiqi suddenly furrowed her brow and flew out from Wei Chen's Azure Sky Statue to look into the distance.
"Brother, some demons are approaching. But their strength isn't sufficient; they shouldn't be able to fly this high. Take me to meet them; after all, they are my subordinates," Yan Qiqi said.
Wei Chen nodded and waved his hand, taking Yan Qiqi down with him. Yan Qiqi held the Refining Demon Pot in her hands, and in an instant, the spirit of the Refining Demon Cauldron slipped into the pot, preparing to explain its usage to Yan Qiqi in the simplest terms.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi reached an altitude of several dozen miles.
Although several dozen miles was already quite high, compared to Wei Chen's Azure Sky Statue and Phantom, that height was barely a fraction of what it could reach.
Wei Chen's Azure Sky Statue stood at the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, far beyond reach.
"All hail the Demon King!"
Several hundred muscular men, dressed in tattered clothing, knelt in unison in mid-air.
"All hail the Lord of the Divine King!"
They chanted together, paying homage to Yan Qiqi and Wei Chen.
However, the order of their reverence was somewhat peculiar.
The first they bowed to was not the Demon Realm's god Wei Chen, but rather the Demon Path King, Yan Qiqi!
This demonstrated that in the eyes of the demon race, a deity from the Spatial Plane was simply not comparable to the Demon Path King!
Since Yan Qiqi was the first to receive their homage, Wei Chen chose to remain silent and observe her performance.
In Wei Chen's view, it was likely that Yan Qiqi would feel somewhat flustered upon encountering such a grand display for the first time. However, Yan Qiqi appeared completely unfazed; she merely nodded slightly and gestured to the hundreds of strong men, saying, "You may rise; there is no need for such formalities."
Yan Qiqi's demeanor was worthy of full marks—neither arrogant nor timid, she fully embodied the grace expected of a Demon Path King.
Grace and poise do not always require training; for some individuals, they are innate qualities.
For instance, Yan Qiqi.
As a member of the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, she naturally carried an air of authority typical of the demon race. Now, with the Refining Demon Pot in her possession, she had rightfully become the Demon Path King, and that demeanor was unmistakably evident.
"Demon King, it is under your radiance that we have transformed into our human forms. In the Demon Realm, it is quite difficult for beasts to cultivate into human shapes. With your presence, however, the situation has changed dramatically. Your light has illuminated the entire Demon Realm, granting all beasts a chance to enhance their spiritual intelligence. In the future, many more will be able to cultivate into human forms."
"Demon King, we are just beginning to awaken our Spirit Intelligence and are unsure of our future direction. We ask for your guidance."
"Yes, Demon King, we can no longer continue living as beasts, nor can we integrate into human society. Please help us."
The Macho Men spoke up one after another, pleading for Yan Qiqi to lead them as they wished to serve as her bodyguards.
Protecting the Demon King was an undeniable responsibility for every member of the demon race; it was a duty ingrained in their very blood.
Any command from the Demon King was something that all demons would sacrifice their lives to fulfill.
The Demon Path King exuded an unparalleled majesty, far surpassing that of any human ruler. After all, humans were inherently selfish and could not be as selfless as the demon race.
Among all demons, none were selfish. It was precisely this trait that allowed them to survive fiercely under human oppression. If demons were as fragmented and embroiled in internal strife as humans, they would have long been doomed.
Wei Chen watched Yan Qiqi with amusement; so many strong bodyguards surrounding her—how imposing! How would Yan Qiqi choose?
