What does my ancestor's pregnancy have to do with me, a mere servant?

A day and a night later.

The sky at the top of the bone tower changed from dark to light, and then from light to dark again.

The heavy animal-hide curtain in the warm chamber was finally lifted by a fair, jade-like hand.

Ye Jia stepped out of the room, her dark purple demon robes fluttering in the wind, her brows radiant, and the demonic power flowing around her unfathomable.

On the soft couch behind her, Lin Yuan's face was as white as paper, his eyes were sunken, and his legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Ye Jia turned around, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips, and said in a deliberately gentle voice, "Lin Lang, please rest here. I will go back to the secret room to recuperate for a while and then come to serve you again."

Having said that, Ye Jia moved with light steps, and contentedly transformed into a black wind, disappearing towards the top floor hall.

"You'll be back in a bit...?!"

Lin Yuan lay on his back on the bed, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.

This is not ascetic practice; it's like a donkey pulling a millstone being taken to a slaughterhouse, not even given a moment to catch its breath!

but……

Once the demonic restrictions outside the palace gates closed, confirming that Ye Jia's aura had already disappeared.

He sat up, rubbed his aching lower back, and grinned with an extreme smile.

"You old hag, do you really think I'm getting something for nothing?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and with a slight thought, the familiar semi-transparent panel instantly appeared before his eyes.

Name: Lin Yuan

[Cultivation Skill: Early Nascent Soul Stage: 0/10000W (Points can be added)]

[Body Cultivation: Mid-stage Profound Aperture Realm: 0/2000W (Points can be added)]

[Demonic Cultivator: Early Stage of Body Refinement: 0/10 (Points can be added)]

Available attribute points: 31438 million

Working non-stop for a full day and night, Ye Jia pulled him through a total of eight major cycles.

Each time he undergoes arduous training, the Demon Ancestor at the Dao Integration Realm can provide him with a full 1000 million usable attribute points!

In one night, it skyrocketed by 8000 million!

"hiss--"

Lin Yuan gasped and couldn't help but rub his temples.

The profits are absolutely terrifying. In the lower realms, even working yourself to death would make it impossible to accumulate such a vast fortune.

It was truly exhausting, but the rewards were incredibly high!

"As expected, the greater the risk, the higher the profit. I can handle a few more of these Dao Integration Realm beasts." Lin Yuan felt a surge of secret pleasure.

After the initial excitement, Lin Yuan quickly calmed down.

He took out the jet-black jade slip titled "Mysterious Netherworld Demon Body" from his bosom, and once again immersed his divine sense into it, carefully comprehending the profound meaning of each demonic rune within.

However, after a dozen breaths, no separate cultivation technique section for "Xuanming Demon Body" appeared on the system panel, apart from the original entry.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, then suddenly realized.

This is also a body-refining method, belonging to the same system as the Hundred Refinements of Mortal Bones Technique. Simply adding points to it should mean practicing this method.

Lin Yuan has always believed that speed is the only way to win.

A glance across the panel revealed that it takes a full 10000 million attribute points to advance from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the middle stage.

A body cultivator only needs 2000 million points to break through from the mid-stage of the Profound Aperture Realm to the late-stage of the Profound Aperture Realm!

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan pressed the "+" sign next to "[Body Cultivation: Mid-stage Profound Aperture Realm]" with his divine sense.

hum!

The 2000 million attribute points transformed into a vast and incomparable golden torrent, directly pouring into Lin Yuan's limbs and bones!

Rumble!

A sudden, muffled thunderous roar erupted from Lin Yuan's body.

Every inch of his flesh and every bone in his body was being torn apart and reassembled under the onslaught of this terrifying energy.

The dark gold color that was originally imprinted deep in his bones quickly transformed into an extremely restrained and profound black. On the surface of his skin, ancient and boundless Xuanming demonic patterns emerged uncontrollably, exuding a terrifying and violent aura.

But just moments later, under the control of the "Formless Transformation Technique," all the demonic runes quickly disappeared beneath the skin, vanishing without a trace.

Lin Yuan slowly clenched his fists.

Click!

In the void, he actually managed to create a crisp burst of air with the pure physical strength of his fingers and palms. His flesh and blood were as if cast from refined steel, his bones were comparable to top-grade magic weapons, and the blood and qi within his body surged like a raging sea, as heavy as mercury.

The text on the panel then refreshes:

[Body Cultivation: Late Stage of Profound Aperture Realm: 0/3000 million (Points can be added)]

Available attribute points: 29438 million

"I've reached the late stage of the Profound Aperture Realm. However... I can't add any more attribute points. I should save them up and use them all at once. Giving up too many points at once could easily cause unnecessary trouble!"

Lin Yuan put away the panel and collapsed onto the snow-white animal-skin couch like a lump of mud.

However, this peaceful sleep did not last long.

The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and the fragrance of agarwood mixed with the rich aroma of top-grade magic potion wafted in.

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

A tall, graceful figure stood before the bed, clad in a dark purple demonic robe, a single dark gold horn on her forehead gleaming eerily. It was none other than Ye Jia, disguised as Chi Ling.

At this moment, this usually aloof ruler stared intently at Lin Yuan on the bed with his scarlet eyes, a greenish glint in the depths of his pupils, like a snow wolf that had been starving for half a month in the wilderness eyeing a plump lamb.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He scrambled to the corner of the bed, clutching the blanket tightly, his face filled with terror: "What...what are you going to do? I just closed my eyes!"

Ye Jia's red lips curled slightly as she slowly stepped forward, her boots making a crisp clattering sound on the stone slabs. "What do you think I should do? Lin Lang, in the struggle for the Great Dao, every second counts. A short rest is enough."

"No... Help!" Lin Yuan cried out in a low voice, but his body honestly lay down flat.

Ye Jia sneered and waved her jade hand, instantly sealing off the warm pavilion with layers of magical restrictions: "Scream all you want, even if you scream your lungs out, not a single person inside this bone tower will dare to come to your rescue."

……

Time flies when you're practicing cultivation; a whole month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Glug... Glug..."

A cauldron of crimson gold, steaming hot, was brought out. The soup was boiling and exuded an extremely rich aroma of ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng and earth dragon marrow.

Holding a black jade porcelain bowl, Ye Jia, her eyes and brows brimming with undisguised smugness, approached the couch with a beaming smile: "Come, come, Lin Lang, drink it while it's hot. This is the blood of the Nine Nether Deer and the marrow of the earth veins that I personally selected from the Treasure Vault of Ten Thousand Demons. It was simmered for a full three hours. It's incredibly nourishing."

On the soft couch, Lin Yuan's eyes were sunken, his face was pale, and he looked like a withered straw that had been drained of moisture. He tremblingly raised his finger and said, "I...I won't drink..."

"Drink!" Ye Jia's face darkened, his narrow phoenix eyes revealing a hint of authority, but it quickly softened into gentle words. "Be good, drink it. If you finish this bowl, I'll let you go today and allow you to sleep soundly for three days and three nights. I know you've worked hard and made great contributions, but the threshold of the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm is right in front of you, just one step away. Don't you think so?"

After a month of arduous cultivation day and night, Ye Jia's Demon Ancestor's true blood has been purified considerably, and the bottleneck of the early stage of Dao Integration, which had been stuck for tens of thousands of years, is showing signs of breaking through.

This intense pleasure of a sudden surge in cultivation level became addictive for the female demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
