The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 223: Chapter 197-198: Grand Celebration

The Peacock Princess flew through the air on her Magical Artifact.

As she flew, a ceaseless Gale blew against her.

Chu Yunrou didn’t use her Demon Power to shield herself from the Gale.

Instead, she let the howling wind buffet her body.

In the sky, Chu Yunrou’s Seven-Colored Long Skirt danced, her hair streaming behind her!

In all her years of Cultivation, she had never experienced such a crushing defeat, such humiliation.

’Yun Rou, you have always been proud. Your Cultivation path has been smooth and without obstacle.

Although you have met with a setback this time, it may not be a bad thing for your future!

If you can gain some enlightenment from this, it will be a priceless treasure for you! It will help you more than the mere Quasi-Treasure Golden Jade Hairpin!

Today’s struggles are the foundation for tomorrow’s achievements!’

Her ancestor’s words still echoed in her mind.

But she could only temporarily suppress the memory of that crushing defeat and humiliation; she could not get over it!

Not unless she could see that Golden Lion one more time!

Regardless of the outcome, she might be able to move past this if she could just fight him again!

Chu Yunrou’s expression was dazed as she murmured to herself.

"’To have one’s path obstructed, to have one’s deeds thrown into chaos—this is to stir the heart, temper the spirit, and grant the power to achieve the impossible!’"

...

Xu Chang’an looked at the exquisite, heavy invitation in his hand and smiled faintly.

As he had just said, he would of course go to Peacock Mountain’s celebration.

But not as the Gray Rat Alchemist.

But as...

The Golden Lion King!

’Come to think of it, although I’ve reached the rank of Demon King, I don’t seem to have a title yet!’

’But, it doesn’t really matter!’

’After all, my true form isn’t some Golden Lion.’

’A title doesn’t matter!’

’As for my true form, the Purple-striped Thunder Rat! A title would be easy to choose.’

’The Purple-striped Thunder Demon King!’

’The Purple Thunder Demon King!’

’Or the Purple Thunder Demon King!’

’Titles like those would all be pretty good!’

Putting away the invitation, Xu Chang’an returned to the Gray Rat Cave.

He had only recently entered the Realm of Quasi-Tier Three Alchemy Skill and needed to continue consolidating it.

Time passed, day by day, and Peacock Mountain grew increasingly lively.

Within the Red Cloud Mountain Range, almost every power with a Top-tier Great Demon presiding over it received an invitation from Peacock Mountain.

In addition, many Loose Cultivator Top-tier Great Demons and Quasi-Demon Kings were also on the invitation list.

It wasn’t just the Red Cloud Mountain Range; many powers from the Thundering Mountain Range also received invitations from Peacock Mountain.

In the battle of Black Mist Valley, the Peacock King had severely wounded the Red Snake Demon King.

This had made the once clear situation in the Red Cloud Mountain Range blurry and uncertain again.

Given the Peacock King’s power, none of the factions or Loose Cultivators who received an invitation from Peacock Mountain dared to refuse.

Numerous powers and multitudes of Demons gathered at Peacock Mountain!

The celebratory ceremony at Peacock Mountain would last for a total of three days.

The first two days were for celebration and networking, with the main event on the final day.

Peacock Mountain’s peaks were high and steep, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Under the sunlight, the clouds and mist actually shimmered with a seven-colored glow.

"Peacock Mountain!"

A Red Bear Demon over twenty feet tall stood at the foot of Peacock Mountain.

The Red Bear Demon exuded the aura of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment, a Top-tier Great Demon.

Peacock Mountain had demons guarding its passes. In consideration of the grand celebration, Foundation Establishment Great Demons were stationed at the checkpoints.

The moment the Red Bear Demon appeared, a Demon from Peacock Mountain spoke up, asking if it was here to participate in the celebration.

The Red Bear Demon presented its invitation. After a Peacock Mountain Demon inspected it, it was welcomed up the mountain.

The invitation was real, so of course there was no problem.

However, the Red Bear Demon holding the invitation was a fake.

The real Red Bear Demon had long since departed for the underworld!

’The security is quite strict!’

Xu Chang’an observed the scene on Peacock Mountain and thought to himself.

Great Demons appeared from time to time, and Array Restrictions shimmered and flowed constantly.

’At my current Cultivation Realm, using a Concealment Spell combined with a Transformation Pill, no one below the level of a top-tier Demon King can see through my disguise.’

’As for my Cultivation, I’ve controlled my projected aura to be at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. Unless it’s someone on the level of the Red Snake Demon King, even a top-tier Demon King would find it difficult to see through.’

Compared to using Concealing Breath to hide one’s Cultivation, masking a changed appearance is more difficult.

The true main venue for the Peacock King’s celebration was the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform atop Peacock Mountain’s summit.

But not just any Demon King could go there.

Only regional Demon Kings or Quasi-Demon Kings could go there!

In addition, Demons who had reached the Realm of a Tier Three Skill could also be on the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform.

Even Demons with Quasi-Third Tier Skills were still a little lacking.

The invitation Xu Chang’an had received was for the Caiyun Dojo on the summit, just below the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform.

Inside Peacock Mountain, the scenery was beautiful.

Spirit Flowers of all colors were in bloom, and Spirit Wood trees flourished with verdant life, adorning the entire Peacock Mountain and making it seem like an Immortal Realm.

The higher one went, the more this was true!

One after another, dazzling Five-Colored Jade Towers and Jade Platforms began to appear.

These had all been specially prepared for the grand celebration.

The Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, the Caiyun Dojo, the Five-Colored Jade Towers, and the Magnificent Jade Platforms!

This grand celebration was divided into four areas.

On the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform, only Demon Kings, Quasi-Demon Kings, and master-level Demons with a Tier Three Skill were qualified to be seated.

On the Caiyun Dojo were the Top-tier Great Demons from top factions, some other powerful Top-tier Great Demons, and Demons with Quasi-Third Tier Skills.

The Five-Colored Jade Towers were where ordinary Top-tier Great Demons were seated.

As for the Magnificent Jade Platforms, they were for accompanying Demons. There were ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Demons as well as Veteran Great Demons. Even some Qi Refining Demons with special status would appear here.

According to the invitation’s designation, Xu Chang’an was to be seated in one of the Five-Colored Jade Towers.

The space inside the Five-Colored Jade Tower was vast and filled with an abundance of Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit.
