Hell Emperor.

Chapter 591 Ye Jie - Setting Sail
The banquet lasted from when the sun was high in the sky until nightfall.

Those who enjoyed the Three Snake Soup were not only Ye Jie's companions, but also all the immortals who fought desperately against the demon god and never retreated until the very end. They also earned Ye Jie's respect through their actions.

If they hadn't fought desperately, risking their lives to slow down the rampaging demon god, Ye Jie might not have had the chance to ascend to the Holy Realm. This courage to disregard life and death naturally earned him the most delicious food as a reward.

The deliciousness of the Three-Snake Soup also earned praise from the immortals. Many of them sincerely said that it was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives, and the improvement in their comprehension was an unexpected delight.

From now on, Ye Jie will likely gain not only the reputation of a saint but also the title of a culinary god.

After the grand banquet ended and all the immortals had eaten and drunk their fill, Ye Jie embarked on his journey of departure.

"Everything is ready. Everything that can be taken has been packed into storage magic treasures. The Tianditong Trading Company is ready to depart at any time."

Hearing Hua Xiaomei's report, Ye Jie glanced back longingly before boarding the once-powerful divine ship belonging to the Azure Lotus Palace amidst the farewells of the immortals.

When Ye Jie first arrived in Beiju Luzhou, he was only a first-stage Ghost Immortal. Now, he not only possesses many powerful immortal official powers, but his own strength is also comparable to that of a legendary saint. Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

As countless spirit stones activated their effects and immortal energy flowed, the divine ship soared into the sky, causing the earth to tremble violently. The shadow cast by the ship in the sky grew smaller and smaller, and in no time, the divine ship disappeared from the sight of the immortals on the ground.

As night fell, it guided the Shenzhou spacecraft in the right direction, and the unchanging moon hanging high overhead marked the end of its journey.

Beside him, Li Feie sensed the vast immortal energy flowing within the divine vessel and couldn't help but reveal a curious look:
"I remember that magical transportation devices like spirit boats all require spirit stones as a power source. The previous Tianji ship required dozens of high-grade spirit stones every day. This Tiandi Tongshang ship is several times larger than the Tianji ship, and it can also travel through the void. I wonder how many spirit stones it will require..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jie explained, "High-grade spirit stones alone cannot meet the needs of the Heaven and Earth Trading Company. This divine ship uses extremely rare high-grade spirit stones. Each high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a thousand high-grade spirit stones. As a second-grade divine artifact, the Heaven and Earth Trading Company consumes ten high-grade spirit stones every day."

Li Fei'e covered her mouth in surprise: "If this is converted into high-grade spirit stones, wouldn't it consume ten thousand every day? The expenses of the Heaven and Earth Trading Company are so huge, who can afford it?"

Ye Jie smiled faintly: "Traversing the universe is beyond the reach of ordinary immortals. The only one in the world that can afford the Heaven and Earth Trading Company is the Azure Lotus Merchant Guild, where the God of Wealth resides. However, now that things have come to this, perhaps one more person will be needed."

With the Underworld Emperor's Ghost Seal in hand, Ye Jie no longer needs to worry about Yin Virtue. He only needs to slightly modify the file to have unlimited Yin Virtue.

After his battle with the demon god Xiang Liu, he reconciled with the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, and these good deeds could finally be put to good use.

Ye Jie made ample preparations for his journey to the land of Taiyin, converting all his accumulated Yin virtue into rare items and magical treasures. Among them, there were tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones alone, which had already emptied the entire local inventory of the Qinglian Palace.

Ye Jie had already amassed a mountain of top-grade spirit stones, which were rarely seen even by ordinary immortals. The daily consumption of ten spirit stones by the Heaven and Earth Trading Company was just a drop in the ocean and was not worth his attention.

As the Tianditong Trading Company moved away from the human world and began its journey towards the stars, the scenery on the ground became less real, and the once vast continents that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles were now seen from below.

Su Miao and Ren Changhong identified the scenery of the human world, pointing out one by one the magnificent sights they had visited. Shen Qingge remained silent, gazing at the Milky Way alone. Nan Linghe covered her eyes, not daring to look down for long; the intense dizziness almost made her faint, but fortunately, Hong Caitou was there to support her.

In the distance, Tianming looked up and gazed into the distance, his eyes reflecting only the full moon, as white as jade: "I wonder what precious mineral deposits await me on my journey to Taiyin."

Ye Jie walked over slowly and asked with some curiosity, "Although Xiang Liu is dead, the terrible destruction it caused to the human world and its various adverse effects will not disappear in a short time. Why do you insist on going to the moon instead of staying in the human world to revitalize the Tianji Sect?"

Tianming explained, "The stars contain precious minerals that cannot be produced in the mortal world, not to mention the eternally unchanging moon. Obtaining the essence of moon iron is the dream of every blacksmith. Even for immortals, traveling to other stars is by no means easy. Of course, I will not shamelessly ask Palace Master Ye to give it to me for free. After I obtain the moon meteorite iron, I will use all my skills to forge the most perfect magic weapon for Palace Master Ye!"

Ye Jie understood. If Tianming wanted to take another step forward and break through to become a Forging Saint, he needed to obtain rare forging materials. That was why he asked Ye Jie to come along on the ship before setting off.

"We're not going to the moon for a spring outing. What awaits us ahead could be an enemy even stronger than a demon god. If anything happens, I can't guarantee your safety."

Ye Jie reminded him that his trip to the moon was not only to avoid trouble, but also to search for his disciple Xia Wei.

Tianming had expected this: "Palace Master Ye, rest assured, even if something happens, it's my fate and has nothing to do with anyone else."

Seeing his willingness to risk his life, Ye Jie nodded in satisfaction. With such a firm will, perhaps he could truly break through to the level of a forging saint.

Ye Jie began to take stock of the magical treasures, when suddenly he remembered something and took out a magically effective mirror from the storage artifact, the Crossing the Yin Banner.

The mirror is round all over and has no decorations except for the vertical handle at the bottom. It looks like a mirror used for dressing in the mortal world, but it has great secrets inside. It contains immense power, enough to overturn the Tianditong Trading Company.

This precious mirror is none other than the Seven Mysterious Mirror belonging to the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable.

As luck would have it, Ye Jie found the treasure mirror in the cave of the notorious thief Snake Eyes. No one knew where Snake Eyes had stolen it from.

After the battle, Ye Jie's mind was preoccupied with other matters, such as the promotion of his immortal official and the threat from the Demon Palace. He had no time to worry about anything else and even overlooked the precious mirror.

The treasure mirror contains the sacrificial mark left by the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable, which is not something that ordinary people can break. Ye Jie was discovered by the Celestial Venerable because he tried to break the restriction, and the Celestial Venerable sent a divine general to punish him.

If he were still in the mortal realm, Ye Jie might have returned the treasure mirror to the Demon-Subduing Celestial Venerable. He already possesses many magical treasures and wouldn't need to covet this mirror. However, now that the Divine Ship has departed from the mortal world, even if he wanted to return it, he probably wouldn't have the chance. He should just borrow it for now and wait for another opportunity.

"Speaking of which, I remember that the divine powers of the two Gods of Wealth come with special bonds. One of the effects is that I can use my accumulated merit to directly acquire magical artifacts refined by others and make them mine..."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie's gaze also fell on the Seven Mysteries Mirror in his hand. He seemed to have yet to test the special effect unique to the dual Gods of Wealth bond. Behind Ye Jie, Yao Yin quietly approached. As she drew nearer to the moon, her expression became complex, as if she wanted to say something to Ye Jie. Before she could speak, a sewn-up page in Ye Jie's hand revealed various characters:
[Book of Life and Death Records:]

In the summer of the 640th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie consumed 500 billion units of Yin Virtue to activate the Double Wealth God Bond and acquire the Seven Mysterious Mirrors.

The holder of the Seven Mysterious Mirror has been changed from "True Martial Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable" to "Palace Master of the Purple Star Palace, Ye Jie".

"Success..."

Looking at the words on the sewn-up page, Ye Jie couldn't help but smile.

The bond between the two Gods of Wealth is so powerful that even the indestructible sacrificial mark can be erased by virtue of good deeds and replaced with Ye Jie's own.

However, looking at the 500 billion in good karma spent on the acquisition, Ye Jie couldn't help but secretly marvel.

To disregard the original owner's wishes and forcibly acquire a magical artifact with an owner, one must accumulate sufficient good karma; otherwise, it won't work.

Five hundred billion in virtuous deeds would be incredibly painful even for an ordinary god of wealth, as it would require countless years of accumulation.

However, for Ye Jie, who possesses boundless good karma, a mere 500 billion is nothing to him. No matter how much good karma he has, it is just a matter of changing a number.

In other words, from now on, Ye Jie can seize other immortals' magical treasures without any damage. As long as the magical treasure falls into his hands, no matter how strict the original owner's restrictions were or how many years they had devoted themselves to refining it, he can acquire it instantly.

This forceful buying and selling is the power of the double God of Wealth bond!
"The Seven Mysterious Mirrors are a second-grade divine artifact. Although they are not as good as the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror formed by combining twelve Six Harmony Treasure Mirrors, they are still a magical treasure refined by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable. Logically speaking, they should be quite extraordinary. I wonder what kind of power they possess..."

Ye Jie stroked his chin. Now that he had become the new master of the Seven Mysteries Mirror, he couldn't wait to test its power.

As he pondered, an unfamiliar face appeared on the Seven Mysteries Mirror.

Upon closer inspection, the owner of that face had split lips into three parts, slightly red pupils, and a pair of soft, long ears on his head, resembling a rabbit demon in human form.

"Ok?"

Ye Jie frowned, thinking he had misread it. How did a monster suddenly appear behind him?
Turning around, Ye Jie saw Yao Yin walking slowly towards him, which confused him. His own image was clearly imprinted on the Seven Mysteries Mirror, so why did Yao Yin's appearance change?

Upon careful comparison, Ye Jie couldn't discern anything. Instead, his gaze displeased Yao Yin, who asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Jie coughed lightly, not bothering to hide anything, and then took out the Seven Mysteries Mirror, showing it to Yao Yin: "This is a second-grade divine artifact that I just acquired. Why do you look like a rabbit demon in the mirror?"

Yao Yin glanced at Ye Jie with annoyance: "That's because I was originally a moon rabbit in human form. Calling me a rabbit demon is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"Feel sorry……"

Ye Jie understood, as if he remembered something. It seemed that the Seven Mystery Mirror had the power to identify the true form of demons. No disguise or transformation could hide from the Seven Mystery Mirror's discerning eye.

Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, Yao Yin's pupils trembled, her thoughts seemingly drifting back to a distant past, and she sighed:

"I haven't seen this appearance in a long time... Logically speaking, my human body has been reshaped by the moonlight, and my moon rabbit body has been completely discarded. Even under the array of the end of Dharma, I should still show my human form. But this mirror can reflect my original appearance. It is indeed quite extraordinary."

Upon learning that the Seven Mysterious Mirror possessed such unique abilities, Ye Jie nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the 500 billion merits he had spent on the acquisition had not been wasted. Besides identifying demons, the Seven Mysterious Mirror probably harbored even greater power, though Ye Jie would need to explore it slowly.

After retrieving the Seven Mysterious Mirror, Ye Jie's gaze fell upon Yao Yin ahead. Ever since the Heaven and Earth Trading Company set sail, her expression had been quite strange, and her gaze towards him held a cryptic meaning, as if she wanted to say something. He then asked with concern:
"What's wrong? I've heard that those who have been away from home for many years often feel a sense of trepidation upon returning. As a moon rabbit in human form, does Fairy Yaoyin also experience this?"

Yao Yin sighed, "That's not the case. Ever since I achieved enlightenment, I haven't had any intention of returning there. I'm just worried..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fist, her white knuckles a testament to the complexity and turmoil in her heart.

Ye Jie also understood her implication: if he wanted to reunite with Xia Wei and even take his disciple away, he would have to face an enemy even more terrifying than the Demon God Xiang Liu, namely the third-generation patriarch of the Xuan Nu Sect, the Taiyin Star Lord. Even if he reached the Saint Realm, he would only have the threshold to challenge her.

Ye Jie spoke slowly: "I know what you're worried about. As the Moon Rabbit in human form and a successor of the Xuan Nu Sect, you must have a deep relationship with the Taiyin Star Lord. If you clash with her on this trip, it will definitely put you in a difficult position."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued, "However, you don't need to worry. I only want to ensure my disciple's safety. If it's not necessary, I won't offend the Taiyin Star Lord, whose strength is above that of a Saint. If Fairy Yaoyin finds it difficult, you can leave temporarily after we arrive at the Taiyin Land and not get involved in this conflict."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yin frowned slightly and shook her head helplessly: "What I'm really worried about isn't this matter..."

Ye Jie was slightly taken aback, wondering what Fairy Yaoyin was truly worried about. Could it be that she had heard about the Demon Palace's actions from the founder of the Xuan Nu Sect? Or was there something else?

To be honest, Ye Jie had never seen Fairy Yaoyin so worried. Even when she had narrowly escaped death in Vajra City, her expression remained calm. No matter how great the threat, it could not shake her heart.

Just as Ye Jie was pondering, a commotion coming from afar also caught his attention.
