I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 58

58: Heavenly Foundation Establishment – Bai Xin’er Stays

“Though these Heavenly-grade Foundation Establishment Pills aren’t abundant,”

“They’re sufficient for my breakthrough.”

“After all, they’re Heavenly-grade elixirs.”

Lu Yuan retrieved a blue porcelain vial from his spatial ring.

When he uncorked it, a medicinal fragrance burst forth, permeating the entire chamber.

“Truly worthy of Heavenly-grade pills – their aroma alone is intoxicating!”

He gently shook the vial, listening to the pills clinking inside.

This single vial contained at least fifty pills.

And within his spatial ring, there were over a hundred such vials.

Naturally, these were part of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s accumulated treasures.

Disciples would receive them according to their talent when needed.

This was why the Demon Sect continuously produced outstanding talents, their deep reserves were key.

With moderate talent, elders’ guidance, and ample resources, achieving success wasn’t surprising.

The previous Lu Yuan had been the exception.

He’d preferred hardship over enjoying the sect’s resources.

The thought made Lu Yuan chuckle.

Truly the spoiled young master who didn’t know suffering, insisting on experiencing the world.

And it had cost him his life.

“Though if you hadn’t died, I wouldn’t be here now.”

He poured out a pill and swallowed it.

Hum!

As the white pill entered his stomach, tremendous energy erupted within him.

Like molten lava, it burned through his meridians.

Hum!

Lu Yuan could clearly feel his body straining at the seams.

This vast, pure energy defied description, like tidal waves crashing against his limbs and bones.

Boom!

His entire frame trembled violently.

The terrifying power within the Heavenly Foundation Pill.

Was rapidly transforming his physique.

In mere moments, his meridians repeatedly expanded, reinforced, expanded again.

An endless cycle.

An ordinary person would have exploded already.

Heavenly Foundation Pills contained such violent energy that even Foundation Establishment cultivators below the sixth layer wouldn’t dare consume them.

But with the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Eye, a strange energy circulated through Lu Yuan, protecting his meridians

From rupturing completely.

Simultaneously, the pill’s wild energy

Frantically remodeled his body.

Every bl00d vessel, muscle, bone, and acupoint was violently reshaped by this overwhelming force.

Destruction and reconstruction occurred nearly simultaneously.

This relentless cycle brought excruciating agony.

Yet Lu Yuan could distinctly sense his body strengthening, his meridians’ capacity increasing after each expansion.

He continuously circulated the Primordial Chaos Demon Scripture.

Time became meaningless.

When Lu Yuan finally reopened his eyes.

“No breakthrough?”

His first realization was the lack of realm advancement despite his body’s drastic changes.

“So Heavenly Foundation Pills aren’t just for breakthroughs.”

“It rebuilds the foundation.”

“Without the Emperor’s Eye, achieving Heavenly Foundation would be nearly impossible.”

“No matter – full speed ahead!”

After brief consideration, Lu Yuan upended the entire vial into his mouth, swallowing dozens of pills at once.

Cataclysmic energy detonated inside him.

With the Emperor’s Eye safeguarding his body,

The explosion was impossible.

He immediately consumed a second vial.

His body swelled grotesquely like an overinflated bladder.

Hum!

Lu Yuan’s eyes snapped open, purple light erupting from his pupils.

Demonic runes materialized and merged into his flesh.

Gradually, his distended form shrank back to normal.

This time, Lu Yuan aimed not just for Foundation Establishment, but Heavenly Foundation Establishment.

For cultivators, Heavenly Foundation was extraordinarily difficult.

Most considered the ordinary Foundation a blessing.

But Lu Yuan demanded perfection.

……

Meanwhile…

“He still refuses to see me?”

In the great hall, Bai Xin’er showed no reaction to the guard’s report.

“Holy Maiden, please return.”

The guard maintained respectful deference.

After hesitation, Bai Xin’er stood. “Then I’ll wait here until he emerges. Prepare quarters for me – I’ll cultivate meanwhile.”

“This…”

The guard looked troubled.

“Is there a problem?”

Her expression darkened.

“Of course not! This way, Holy Maiden!”

The guard forced a smile, leading her to a side chamber.

……

Time flowed like sand.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

“Success at last!”

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, having fully absorbed over a hundred Heavenly Foundation Pills.

His Heavenly Foundation was complete, the groundwork immaculately laid.

Now he felt like a parched riverbed, only needing sufficient water to surge forth.

“So much time has passed. I wonder what’s happened in the sect.”

He strode from his chamber.

As the Demon Sect’s young master, administrative duties awaited.

He needed to consolidate authority while allowing his new foundation to stabilize.

Cultivation required balance, too much haste risked deviation.

“Any significant events during my seclusion?”

Seated upon his throne, Lu Yuan addressed the kneeling guards.

After annihilating Cloud Sword Holy Land, repercussions were inevitable.

“Young Master, the sect has been peaceful.”

“However, one matter requires your personal attention.”

The guard spoke carefully.

The past fortnight had been tranquil, if one ignored the influx of new disciples

That forced raised admission standards.

Trivial matters, all.

“Oh? What demands my involvement?”

Lu Yuan frowned.

With numerous elders handling different affairs, most issues never reached him.

“The Yellow Springs Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden Bai Xin’er still waits outside. She’s been here fifteen days.”
