At the same time, I also felt the food was quite novel, something I had never seen before, so I casually asked.

Translation: "They also felt the food was very novel, something they had never seen before, and casually asked."

Meanwhile, the disciple of the Dao Yi Immortal Sect beside him also smacked his lips in satisfaction and answered truthfully.

"Demons, they're all raised by our sect."

Translation: "\"Demons? They're all raised by our sect. \""

Huh???

But to the Dao Yi Immortal Sect disciple, it was just an ordinary remark; to these primordial humans, however, it meant something entirely different.

Translation: "But to the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple, it was just an ordinary remark; to these Xiāntiān rénzú ears, it was completely different."

They all froze for a moment, and someone exclaimed.

Back on the battlefield, the Barbarian God Clan and the Feather God Clan had collected many corpses of the primordial demon race, and they had apparently said that these demons could be eaten.

But to these primordial humans, some couldn't believe it—how could you eat demons?

Translation: "But to these Xiāntiān rénzú, some found it hard to believe, wondering how one could eat demons."

But now, having seen it with their own eyes and even eaten it into their stomachs, they couldn't help but believe.

Translation: "But now, having seen it with their own eyes and even eaten it into their stomachs, they could not help but believe."

So, was that big bowl of food they just ate made from demons?

Could the taste of demons really be this good?

Translation: "How could the taste of demons be this good?"

A simple sentence left these primordial humans dazed.

Just over the next few days, in a short span of time, Ye Changqing incorporated all these primordial humans into his meal roster.

Translation: "But in the following days, just a short few days, as Ye Zhangqing included these Xiāntiān rénzú in the meal roster."

Better: "But over the next few days, just a short span, Ye Zhangqing added these Xiāntiān rénzú to the meal list."

After eating, these primordial humans, from adults to children, were all amazed.

Translation: "After eating, these Xiāntiān rénzú, from adults to children, were all amazed."

The two elders couldn't help but sigh.

Translation: "The two elders couldn't help but sigh."

"If only we had known earlier how delicious these demons are, why would we have ended up like this?"

Translation: "\"If we had known earlier how good these demons taste, why would we have ended up like this? \""

The two elders had the fortune to share two private meals with several elders of the Barbarian God Clan and Feather God Clan, as well as Hong Zun and Yue Linxian.

Translation: "The two elders had the fortune to eat twice a private meal with several elders of the Barbarian God Tribe and Feather God Tribe, as well as Hong Zun and Yue Linxian."

The ingredients for those private meals were precisely the primordial demon race corpses collected earlier.

That flavor was far superior to ordinary demon ingredients.

They couldn't stop eating; if they had tasted these demons earlier, the human race probably wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.

Translation: "They couldn't stop eating; if they had eaten these demons earlier, the human race probably wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat."

Aside from anything else, isn't that where the morale lies?

Translation: "Putting other things aside, wasn't that where the morale lay?"

When facing a demon assault, they wouldn't collapse so quickly.

Translation: "When facing the demons' attack, they wouldn't have collapsed so quickly."

After all, facing a group of ingredients, wouldn't the motivation come right away?

Translation: "After all, facing a group of ingredients, wouldn't that motivation come right away?"

But the primordial humans before never even considered this; their attitude toward demons had always been that of age-old enemies, and upon meeting, it was a fight to the death.

Translation: "But the Xiāntiān rénzú before never considered this; their attitude toward demons was that of age-old enemies, and upon meeting, it was a fight to the death."

However, demons are naturally ferocious; besides hatred, they also feel fear.

Translation: "However, demons are naturally ferocious; besides hatred, they naturally also have fear."

"It's all because of those incompetent immortal chefs."

Translation: "\"It's all because of those useless Immortal Chefs. \""

Thinking of this, one elder angrily lashed out at those immortal chefs again.

Translation: "Thinking of this, one of the elders again angrily scolded those Immortal Chefs."

If they had earlier developed demon spirit food, none of this would have happened, right?

Translation: "If they had earlier developed demon spirit food, wouldn't none of this have happened?"

Moreover, under the nourishment of good food, the primordial humans indeed integrated more quickly into the Celestial City Beyond.

Translation: "And under the nourishment of the cuisine, the Xiāntiān rénzú indeed integrated more quickly into the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens."

Whether it was their relationship with the Dao Yi Immortal Sect or the Heavenly Palace, things quickly grew closer.

Deep down, they unconsciously gained a sense of belonging.

Translation: "Deep down, they also unconsciously gained a sense of belonging."

Many people thought, 'Since our own divine realm is gone and we've been taken in by everyone, we might as well call this place home—after all, we're all humans.'

Translation: "Many people had the thought: since our own divine realm is gone, and now we are taken in by everyone, we might as well consider this place our home, after all, we are all human."

Putting down roots here is certainly better than wandering aimlessly, and someday it can provide a warm shelter for future generations to shield from wind and rain.

Translation: "Settling down here is better than wandering elsewhere, and in the future it can also provide a warm shelter for the younger generations to shield from wind and rain."

And this is exactly what Ye Changqing wanted to see.

Translation: "And this is exactly what Ye Zhangqing wanted to see."

Relying solely on that sworn brotherhood to restrict these primordial humans—frankly, it couldn't last long.

Translation: "Relying solely on that sworn brotherhood to restrict these Xiāntiān rénzú, frankly, cannot last long."

In the end, hearts must unite; if they aren't together, trouble will inevitably arise.

Translation: "In the end, they still need to unite in heart; if their hearts aren't together, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later."

Everything seemed to be heading in a good direction; at the same time, Yue Linxian, Zhao Tianqing, and Tianhe also recently extended invitations to Ye Changqing.

Translation: "Everything seemed to be developing toward the better; at the same time, Yue Linxian, Zhao Tianqing, and Tianhe, in recent days, also sent invitations to Ye Zhangqing."

All three hoped Ye Changqing would join the Heavenly Palace as a Supreme Elder.

Translation: "All three hoped Ye Zhangqing would join the Heavenly Palace and take the position of Supreme Elder."

This decision stems first from Ye Changqing's immense influence—truly deserving of being called humanity's top figure, far surpassing even the three of them.

Translation: "This decision, first, is because Ye Zhangqing's current influence is truly too strong; calling him the foremost among humans is not an exaggeration, and even the three of them fall far short."

Having power enough to overturn the Heavenly Palace, the three naturally wanted to win over Ye Changqing; once he joined, he'd be one of them, eliminating those worries.

Translation: "Possessing power enough to overturn the Heavenly Palace, the three naturally hoped to win over Ye Zhangqing; once he joined the Heavenly Palace, he would be one of them, and these worries would disappear."

Secondly, the three truly can't do without Ye Changqing; if they couldn't eat his cooking in the future, what would they do?

Translation: "Secondly, the three truly cannot do without Ye Zhangqing; if in the future they couldn't eat his cooking, what would they do?"

Even Yue Linxian, who usually appears and disappears like a dragon, after eating Ye Changqing's meals, has no desire to go out.

Translation: "Not to mention that even Yue Linxian, who usually appears and disappears like a dragon, after eating Ye Zhangqing's meals, had no intention of going out."

Otherwise, given Yue Linxian's nature, could he even stay in the city? He'd have vanished somewhere long ago.

Translation: "Otherwise, according to Yue Linxian's nature, could he stay in the city? He'd probably have run off somewhere unknown long ago."

After so many years, this is likely the longest time Yue Linxian has ever spent in the Celestial City Beyond, and he shows no intention of leaving at all.

Translation: "After so many years, this time is likely the longest Yue Linxian has stayed in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and moreover, he shows no intention of leaving at all."

Facing the three's invitation, Ye Changqing responded skeptically.

Translation: "Facing the three's invitation, Ye Zhangqing responded skeptically."

"Does the Heavenly Palace have a position of Supreme Elder?"

Translation: "\"Does the Heavenly Palace have a position of Supreme Elder? \""

I've never heard of such a role before, and no one has ever held the title of Supreme Elder; isn't the heavenly bureaucracy just you three palace masters?

Translation: "I've never heard of it before, and no one has ever held the title of Supreme Elder; isn't the top of the Heavenly Palace just you three Palace Masters?"

Yue Linxian replied with a grin.

Translation: "To this, Yue Linxian grinned."

"There wasn't one before, but now there is."

Translation: "\"Before there wasn't, but now there is. \""

"Young man Ye, don't worry—this Supreme Elder post involves no troubles; you just need to hold the title. And in the Heavenly Palace, if you need anything, you can simply issue orders; your words will henceforth carry the same weight as mine, with no restrictions on you."

Translation: "\"Ye, kid, rest easy; the Supreme Elder post involves no troublesome duties—you just need to hold the title. Moreover, in the Heavenly Palace, if you need anything, you can simply give orders; your words will henceforth be equivalent to mine, and you won't face any restrictions. \""

Knowing Ye Changqing's nature, the three deliberately created the Supreme Elder position.

Translation: "Knowing Ye Zhangqing's nature, the three therefore specially established the Supreme Elder position."

Put simply, it's a high-ranking, authoritative post that requires no actual duties—a pure enjoyment of benefits.

Translation: "Put bluntly, it's a high-ranking, authoritative post that still requires no worrying—pure enjoyment."

Understanding the three's true intentions, Ye Changqing ultimately nodded and accepted their enthusiastic invitation.

Translation: "Knowing the three's true thoughts, Ye Zhangqing, under their enthusiastic invitation, ultimately nodded and agreed."

Anyway, joining the Heavenly Palace wouldn't affect his status as an elder of the Dao Yi Immortal Sect.

Translation: "Anyway, joining the Heavenly Palace does not affect his elder status in the Dao One Immortal Sect."

Moreover, it's not just him—Shi Song, Hong Zun, Qin Shan Hai, and Yun Xiantai were also invited to join the Heavenly Palace, right?

Translation: "Moreover, not only himself, but Shi Song, Hong Zun, Qin Shan Hai, and Yun Xiantai—weren't they also invited to join the Heavenly Palace?"

Although they are merely ordinary members of the Heavenly Palace, that's only because their cultivation is insufficient.

Translation: "Although they are merely ordinary members of the Heavenly Palace, that is only because their cultivation is insufficient."

Furthermore, the Heavenly Palace doesn't demand anything of its members; it's largely symbolic.

Translation: "Furthermore, the Heavenly Palace doesn't demand anything of its members; it's mostly just symbolic."

The future achievements of the Dao One Immortal Sect can be said to already be clear at a glance.

In the future it will surely become the foremost of the Human Race, for there is a group of Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts and also a group of Xiāntiān rénzú; there is no way it could fall short.

So, first bring people in; for the Heavenly Palace, there is no downside.

With Ye Zhangqing and the members of the Dao One Immortal Sect joining, the Heavenly Palace held a ceremony that was not grand.

This was Ye Zhangqing's request; there was no need to make it overly complicated, and if it weren't for Zhao Tianqing wanting to announce it to the world, the ceremony wouldn't have been necessary at all.

As for this, all the major powers of the Immortal Realm felt no surprise, for as long as the Heavenly Palace isn't foolish, they would certainly do the same.

Besides, this is also a good thing for the Heavenly Palace.

They stayed another roughly half a month in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and everyone also prepared to return to the Immortal Realm.

Mainly, the two elders of the Xiāntiān rénzú needed to enter the Immortal Realm in person to see it, for from the outside one could sense that the Immortal Realm was undergoing transformation.

But if left to develop naturally, the required time would be much longer; if there were human interference, it would be considerably faster.

As for this, at present only the two elders of the Xiāntiān rénzú can accomplish it.

Even the elders of the Barbarian God Tribe and the Feather God Tribe do not believe it, after all, they are not of the Human Race.
