Two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
One was the Yin-Yang Five Elements Creation Mysterious Regeneration Cauldron, forged with the laws of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Creation as its core, supplemented by laws of life, qi, and bloodlines.
The other was the Netherworld Rebirth Soul Cauldron, forged with the laws of soul and reincarnation as its main components, with a touch of netherworld and clear qi laws.
The former primarily healed the physical body.
The latter primarily healed the divine soul.
The principle of healing was straightforward and direct, as indicated in the names of the two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures: one was regeneration, the other was rebirth.
The Regeneration Cauldron was used to heal the physical body.
It would transform the infected person's physical body back into the most fundamental Yin-Yang Five Elements qi for reshaping. The reshaping process would involve purification by true fire, enough to easily turn all the viruses within the infected person into ashes. Then, the power of creation would be used to reshape their physical bodies. In this manner, the physical body would naturally be healed. After all, if the infected person's physical body was transformed into the most fundamental primal qi, how could viruses escape?
The Rebirth Cauldron worked similarly. It would transform the infected person's soul into the most fundamental soul particles, purifying them with the power of reincarnation while retaining their memories.
Finally, it would be reshaped based on clear qi.
These two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures could be effective even on the Taiyi Demon Lord, let alone the vast majority of infected individuals who were only cultivators at the Golden Demon realm and below.
Therefore, with the appearance of these two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the problem of the virus had a solution.
Consequently, Ding Yun soon announced to the public that she had found a way to cure all infected individuals. She urged any infected individuals who could still move, or their families, to come to her immediately or to have their loved ones brought to her. In addition, Ding Yun sent people to notify the other nine Demon Lords, instructing them not to kill any more infected individuals and to send all of them to her for treatment.
The use of these two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures was quite simple. With sufficient magical power, it was possible to treat tens of thousands of demons at once. Moreover, with the assistance of Ding Yun's thirteen clones, she could work day and night to save them. It might be tiring initially, but it would become easier as time went on, until the situation was completely stabilized.
Therefore, Ding Yun was not merely boasting.
As the news spread, although many infected individuals rushed to Ding Yun's side, treating her as a last resort, most remained skeptical. This was because the other Demon Lords and Demon Emperors had made too many foolish decisions during this period, employing various methods to eradicate the infected. Thus, despite Ding Yun's promises, most demons still adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
After all, their physical constitutions were good, and even if infected, they could endure for a few more years without dying within a few days. Therefore, most demons could afford to wait.
...
In his Zizai Demon Palace.
Upon receiving the message from Ding Yun, Demon Lord Zizai summoned all the Demon Emperors under his command:
"The recently promoted Demon Lord Qiqing claims to have a method to cure all kinds of viral infections and wishes for us to send all infected individuals to her. What do you all think? Is it necessary to do so?"
"My Lord Demon Lord, if this is true, then the reputations of all Demon Lords in the entire demon realm, except for Demon Lord Qiqing, will likely be tarnished. Compared to our actions, Demon Lord Qiqing could almost be called a living Bodhisattva or a living Buddha. It's outrageous.
... Although our demon realm's demons worship the law of the jungle, no one is unwilling to befriend the benevolent, nor unwilling to be a subject under a benevolent ruler. If Demon Lord Qiqing wishes to expand her territory in the future, many demons will likely welcome the royal army with open arms.
Following her instructions would be considered aiding the enemy.
Furthermore, most of the obvious infected individuals have already been executed. It is difficult to ascertain how many of the remaining infected there are, and they have no trust in us. Even if we claim to be taking them for treatment, no one will believe us. Therefore, in my opinion, let's forget about it.
With this time, it's better to make preparations in advance.
We should guard against Demon Lord Qiqing encroaching on our territory."
The Netherworld Demon Emperor quickly voiced his thoughts and hoped to make preparations for battle in advance.
Following that, Ji Du Demon Emperor beside him added:
"I agree with Netherworld's opinion. Last time, you, My Lord Demon Lord, personally issued a decree appointing her as Demon Emperor Qiqing and warned her not to expand further. At the time, she readily agreed, and we thought she was obedient. However, looking at it now, her quick agreement was primarily because her cultivation was not sufficient, and she was about to break through, thus not wanting to create unnecessary complications.
Now that she has successfully broken through to become a Demon Lord, it is predictable that she will not be content with occupying such a small territory and will inevitably expand her influence. Your territory borders hers, and in my opinion, we will inevitably have a battle in the future."
"But if we truly do nothing, won't our reputation continue to decline in the future?"
Among the Demon Emperors, there was still one who cared about his reputation.
"What is there to fear? My Lord Demon Lord's rule over his territory does not rely on prestige, but on his own strength."
"That's right. Even if that Demon Lord Qiqing truly develops an antidote, how many hearts can she win over? Moreover, what is the use of winning over the hearts of those Golden Demons, or even lower-ranked demons? Even combined, they are not enough for us to swat a few times. It seems the rumors before were indeed true; that female Demon Lord is a bit too soft-hearted.
This might make her reputation better,
but it does not enhance her strength."
"We don't need to spend too much energy on this matter, nor do we need to take her orders. Sending the infected to her? Who does she think she is, worthy of commanding Your Excellency?"
After a discussion, the majority of the Demon Emperors' opinions remained consistent: there was no need to pay attention to it, but also no need to stop her. Let her do as she pleased. What they needed to guard against more was whether Demon Lord Qiqing would expand her influence in the future and come into conflict with them.
And Demon Lord Zizai, at this moment, was also somewhat displeased. He was unhappy that Ding Yun had surpassed the nine of them, the Demon Lords, in researching a solution in advance. He was also very displeased that Ding Yun had merely sent someone to deliver a message instead of personally coming to discuss it, showing disrespect to him, an old Demon Lord.
Therefore, he quickly adopted the opinions of the Demon Emperors under his command and directly threw Ding Yun's transmitted information into the waste paper basket. As for blocking the spread of related information,
he was not that bored.
As for the other Demon Lords, although their thoughts were not entirely consistent, none of them were willing to bother collecting the infected and sending them to Ding Yun for treatment.
It was already considered compassionate of them not to obstruct or block the process.
Fortunately, as the number of recovered patients continued to increase, and the demons spread the relevant news through their social circles, more demons began to believe the matter was true.
It was not a trap to encircle them.
Only then did the number of infected individuals heading to Ding Yun for treatment surge, and Ding Yun consequently became busy around the clock, engrossed in healing the sick.
