Hell Emperor.

Chapter 280 Moro-Wish
Inside the dark palace, a unique banquet was taking place.

A wide variety of delicacies were being presented by tall evil ghosts with green faces and fangs. They were placed on a long table in order for the host of the banquet to enjoy.

Apart from the clinking of plates and the crackling of candles, the surroundings were silent and eerily dead. Even a pin drop could be heard, and no one dared to say a word.

Ye Jie sat upright at one end of the long table. Astonishing aroma wafted into his nose, arousing his appetite. Even a ghost with the strongest mind would turn into a hungry ghost that had been imprisoned for a thousand years in front of this table of delicious food, and would wish to eat them all up immediately.

This table was filled with delicacies that were dazzling to the eyes, including dragon liver and phoenix marrow. It was no exaggeration to say that they were delicacies from heaven. Ye Jie could feel that the instinct in his soul was craving for these delicacies, but he had to suppress this action and dared not show the slightest disrespect, for the reason was that sitting at the other end of the long table was the strongest person in the underworld, the Lord of the Demon Palace who had ascended to the ninth level.

Ye Jie didn't dare to act rashly. His expression was solemn and focused. He glanced occasionally, but found that Moro's gaze was always on him, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Why don't you eat? Are these dishes not to your liking?"

Moro clasped his hands together, crossed his fingers, and spoke in a calm, unfathomable tone.

Seeing Moro speak, Ye Jie quickly replied: "That's not the case...it's just that if Your Highness doesn't want to eat, I don't dare to start first."

Moro raised the corner of his mouth, his starry eyes suddenly showed a bit of coldness, and his tone seemed a bit unhappy: "Are you afraid that I poisoned the food?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, and replied in a trembling voice: "With His Highness Moro's strength, why would he need to use poison to deal with me? I was afraid of being impolite in front of His Highness, so I didn't dare to start."

Moralan laughed, with a hint of rebelliousness in her laughter. She waved her hands, not caring at all: "Of course I know, I was just joking with you, look how scared you are."

Ye Jie's eyes twitched. Are you kidding? With the ninth level of the Demon Palace Master, he would be scared to death with just a slight movement of his fingers. Who dares to joke with her?
Feeling the mood swings of Moro, Ye Jie was sweating profusely, and he became more alert in his heart, not daring to be careless. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. Moro's strength is much stronger than that of a mortal emperor. Being with her is extremely dangerous, and you may lose your life at any time.

Moro seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "However, you are wearing the Shura mask, so you can't eat the food even if it is placed in front of you. In this case..."

At this moment, Ye Jie felt a sharp pain on his face. The hooks of the Shura mask that had pierced his face deeply were now loose. He subconsciously reached out to cover his face, but was surprised to find that the hideous mask was now easily taken off.

Breathing in the fresh air that he had not felt for a long time, no longer filtered by the mask, the view in front of his eyes was clear and unobstructed. Ye Jie looked melancholy, feeling this hard-earned freedom.

"Now you don't need to worry about anything, you can eat as much as you want." Moro spread his hands towards Ye Jie and pointed at the delicacies in front of him, "Eat whatever you want."

Seeing that Moro had spoken, Ye Jie did not dare to disobey. Eating delicious food was not an irresistible thing. If Moro was not here, he would have been unable to resist and started eating.

Ye Jie's eyes fixed on a dish that he had set his eyes on for a long time. On the dish was a ball decorated with gold foil, which was as big as a child. It was filled with auspicious light and reflected a luxurious luster. The texture was extremely smooth, which had an extraordinary attraction to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie was just about to try what the sac ball was when he heard Moro's words: "That's the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Gallbladder. It's too early to eat the staple food now."

"Jiuxiao...what?" Ye Jie took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the ball had such a great origin. It was actually something from the body of a dragon. Now it was made into a dish. When the news got out, he didn't know how much of a shock it would cause.

Moro stopped him from taking action, so Ye Jie had to turn his attention to another dish. It was a slightly strange piece of meat steak, baked to the perfect brown color, with a glossy surface and exuding an enticing aroma. Ye Jie's intuition told him that eating it would be of great benefit to him.

This time, Ye Jie was smart and showed Moro a look of asking for instructions in advance. As expected, he heard her say, "That's the swan liver from the fairy mountain. Didn't I tell you? You should eat something appetizing first, so that you can feel the mellower taste."

Ye Jie coughed dryly. He remembered that Moro had clearly said that he could eat whatever he wanted. But when it came time for him to eat, he could not eat anything and had to follow her rules.

Ye Jie only dared to complain in his heart, but did not dare to show it openly.

Ye Jie had no choice but to follow Moro's instructions and get a plate of appetizers. The exquisite porcelain plate was dotted with plump and round tiny black pearls with a rich aroma, just like the sea breeze on your face. Next to it was spread crystal clear white slices, which not only had a bright color but also made the taste richer.

This time, Moro had no objection, his starry eyes showed a little smile, and he made a gesture of invitation to Ye Jie. Seeing this, Ye Jie dared to eat. As soon as the food entered his mouth, the delicate and soft texture seemed to dance on his taste buds, making his eyes blank, and the delicious taste lingered for a long time.

At the same time, the seven stitched pages in Ye Jie's arms began to vibrate violently!
[New talents added to the Magical Power Atlas: Rippling Blue Waves, One Heart and One Body, Clear Springs Washing Dust, Boundless Ocean, Heavenly Essence and Moonlight...]

Not only that, layers of heat surged within Ye Jie's body, almost completely igniting every part of his body.

The realm that had been restricted by aptitude and unable to be improved for a long time, at this moment, made rapid progress, from the late second stage... the peak of the second stage... the early third stage... the middle third stage... all the way to the peak of the third stage, and only then did it stop when facing a new bottleneck.

A huge heat current rushed through Ye Jie's soul, bringing him infinite power. This was just the immediate improvement after the delicacy entered his mouth. If Ye Jie could completely refine the spiritual power in the delicacy for his own use, his realm would continue to rise!
"What is this dish?"

At this time, Ye Jie did not dare to take a close look at the detailed information recorded on the seven stitched pages, nor did he feel happy about his realm breakthrough. His mind was buzzing, and the deliciousness of the food occupied all his attention. He had never tasted such delicious food before.

In front of Ye Jie, Moro saw his loss of composure, but instead of being unhappy, he showed a very satisfied look: "This is Heluo caviar with thousand-year-old white truffles. How does it taste?"

Ye Jie did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "It tastes great... I have never eaten anything so delicious. The delicacies in the Heavenly Palace are no better than this..."

Moro chuckled and said, "In order to kill the divine beast Heluoyu, the Blood Pond Palace Master and the Beast Form Palace Master worked together and went through a hard battle. I bought this ten thousand year old white truffle at an auction with 30 billion Yin De. I hope you like it."

"How much... how much?"

Ye Jie blinked, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Seeing Moro glance at him calmly, Ye Jie knew that she was right. The value of this small dish in front of him was more than hundreds of billions of Yin De. Ye Jie couldn't even imagine how huge that number was.

Many ghosts, even some true immortals who have achieved enlightenment but have no hope of promotion, will be reborn as the first level in order to obtain 10 billion good karmas. In their next life, they will receive nine innate magical powers as their lifelong pursuit, and they will fight for good karma throughout their lives.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his understanding of the Lord of the Demon Palace deepened.

So what if it was a divine beast? So what if it was a first-grade reincarnation? In front of the Lord of the Demon Palace, it was not worth mentioning at all. All the extremely precious things existed only to please her. The merits accumulated by ordinary immortals after thousands of years of fighting were not enough for a dish in front of the Demon Palace.

Seeing that Ye Jie was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, Moro smiled faintly: "Are you scared? Don't worry, this is the reward you deserve. You have made a great contribution by taking back the main account of the Nether Spirit Palace for me. Now I have seven main accounts, and I am one step closer to the position of the Emperor of the Netherworld. You deserve a big reward."

Hearing this, Ye Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Moro was quite clear about rewards and punishments. If he said there would be a reward, he would definitely not refuse. He also took this opportunity to say, "I heard from the Shura in the hall that as long as I present you with a main account, I can make a wish for you..."

Moro smiled, his eyes showing some certainty: "Don't worry, we can talk about the wish later. Let's eat the food first, otherwise it will get cold."

Ye Jie's eyes lit up. The wish was indeed true. Judging from the style of Palace Master Mo Luo, even if he asked for hundreds of billions of merits, Palace Master Mo Luo would definitely not refuse.

"Aren't you eager to eat those main courses? Now's the time," Moro reminded.

Ye Jie did as he was told and tasted the flavor of the gentian and goose liver. The heat in his body surged even more and his realm soared with unstoppable momentum.

Any one of the dishes on this table would be extremely rare and precious tonic if taken to the outside world. Only immortals can enjoy them. Now that they have all been eaten by Ye Jie, the benefits he has gained are unimaginable!

In contrast, Moro didn't eat much, and only tasted a little of each dish. Most of the dishes were eaten by Ye Jie. Moro looked relaxed, holding a golden wine glass in his hand, and carefully tasting the bright red wine in the glass. The ruddy luster was even more eye-catching than blood.

In Ye Jie's arms, the seven stitched pages kept vibrating, and messages kept appearing:

[New talents added to the Divine Power Atlas: Dragon Roars in the Sky, Full of Vigor and Vigor, Spirituality with Dragons, Immortal Clouds Retreat, Standing Out from the Crowd...]

This time, Ye Jie clearly felt the vibration of the seven stitched pages, and the joy on his face was even greater.

Not long ago, the seven stitched pages demonstrated how to revise the magical powers atlas. Ye Jie only needed to find the remains of those former great men, and the seven stitched pages would be able to record the innate magical powers that those great men possessed during their lifetime through the remains of the remains.

But he didn't expect that the dishes could also be considered as remains. In this way, the magical powers atlas recorded the innate magical powers that the corresponding owners of the dishes had possessed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Moro's banquet, Ye Jie also gained unimaginable benefits from the precious dishes, and his cultivation level soared greatly. Now he has reached the peak of the fifth-level immortal realm, the same as Ren Changhong, and is only one step away from becoming a ghost immortal. The seven stitched pages recorded those dazzling talents and magical powers, which can be said to be a double happiness.

Whether it is the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, or the Fairy Mountain Swan, Heluo Fish and other powerful creatures, they are all legendary beasts. With Ye Jie's own strength, even with the Dragon Transformation, he is no match for those beasts, not to mention using the essence of the beasts to nourish himself and greatly improve his cultivation.

This banquet brought Ye Jie a lot of gains. How many people in the Three Realms have the honor of being invited to a banquet by the Lord of the Demon Palace? But what made Ye Jie even more excited was yet to come.

"Okay, now that you've finished eating, it's time to tell us what you want. What do you want? Pills? Magical weapons? Or something else?" Moro asked slowly until Ye Jie had finished eating everything.

Ye Jie took a deep breath, and countless thoughts surged in his mind, but he rejected them one by one.

After witnessing the strength of the Demon Palace Master, Ye Jie couldn't help but wonder what kind of wish he should make.

If one wants to accumulate good karma, one could probably get hundreds of billions of it in one go. Then, no matter what skills one modifies, one would not have to worry about consuming the good karma, as it could be said that one could never use it up in a lifetime.

If he wants martial arts techniques, he can get the real immortal techniques that are never passed on to outsiders. With the power of seven stitching pages, Ye Jie can modify the immortal techniques to an extremely high level, exerting a greater power than that in the hands of immortals!
As for the elixir, Ye Jie was able to use the power of the elixir to break through the bottleneck in one breath and elevate himself to the level of ghost immortal, and his strength underwent a complete transformation!
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ye Jie's mind one by one. His choice will have a profound impact on his future, so he must consider it carefully.

At this moment, Ye Jie also ushered in a crucial moment. In his mind, he kept imagining the beauty of his wish coming true. However, when it really came to the moment of making the wish, he couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

There is only one thing Ye Jie wants most, and that is to regain his freedom and return to his family.

"I want to escape from the Demon Palace and regain my freedom."

Finally, after going through all the choices and expressing his wish, Ye Jie felt relieved.

"Of course, if that's what you want."

To Ye Jie's surprise, Moro did not refuse, and even smiled at him.

Just when Ye Jie was overjoyed, he heard Moro add: "However, you have to leave behind the seven sewing pages in your arms and the skills you learned in the main account."

"What..." Ye Jie's heart trembled violently, and he had a bad premonition.

"Do you really think I don't know what you gained by using the power of the Lord's Account?"

Moro's words made Ye Jie's heart sink to the bottom. How could he hide the changes in him from the Lord of Moro Palace? Moro chuckled again:
"Everything you have was given by the Master Account. You can leave if you want, but you will lose everything you have gained through the Master Account and become the ghost that once was lost in the crowd and did nothing. I will not interfere with your choice. Everything is your own decision. What do you want to choose?"
