The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 225: Chapter 199: Offerings

One had to admit, the many Demon Kings truly showed their respect for the Peacock King’s grand celebration.

On the very first day, the Demon Kings gathered together.

At similar celebrations in the past, many Demon Kings would often only make their appearance on the final day.

But for the Peacock King’s celebration, never mind the Demon Kings from the Red Cloud Mountain Range—even those from Thundering Mountain and Celestial Pool Cave arrived on the first day to offer their congratulations!

The first day passed quickly.

Even late into the night, Peacock Mountain remained exceptionally lively.

Peacock Mountain had prepared a great deal of entertainment for this celebration.

Music, dancing—it had everything. A scene of song and dance filled the air!

The demons swayed gracefully, a beautiful sight to behold.

On the second day, Peacock Mountain arranged some new events.

Tier Three Skill Masters held court, lecturing on their various Skills for the assembled Demons.

Through the power of an Array, their words could be heard clearly, whether one was on the Jade Platform, in the Jade Tower, or elsewhere.

On this day, a Tier Three Alchemist, a Tier Three Blacksmith, a Tier Three Array Master, a Tier Three Puppet Master, and a Tier Three Demon Talisman Master—five Skill Masters in total—shared their knowledge with the crowd of Demons.

Many Demons listened, utterly captivated!

When their Cultivation became difficult to advance, many Great Demons would choose to delve into one of the Skills.

Unfortunately, time was limited to a single day, so most of the information was merely a brief overview, without going into great depth.

’This Master Luo’s Alchemy Skill is profound. I’m no match for him!’

Xu Chang’an had also listened to much of the lectures.

As a Quasi-Third Tier Alchemist, he had his own considerable insights into the way of Alchemy.

Although Master Luo did not go into great detail during his lecture, his insights on the broader principles left Xu Chang’an deeply impressed.

’Even that small glimpse was enough to reveal the man’s profound expertise!’

’I’m still a long way from the Skill Realm of a Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemist!’

The lecture gave Xu Chang’an a much clearer understanding of his own Alchemy Skill.

Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemists could refine Crystal Condensation Pills and Clear Heart Pills, earning them the reverence of Demon Kings!

With the arrival of the third day, the main event of the celebration officially began.

Peacock King Chu Xianyi made her first appearance at the celebration.

At the cloud-wreathed peak of Peacock Mountain, a five-colored light began to swirl.

The five-colored light instantly enveloped the entire mountaintop, and an incomparably beautiful woman with a cold, aloof aura emerged from within it.

She wore Colorful Palace Attire, her dark hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was stunningly beautiful yet cold, and she exuded an extraordinary air.

"Look, it’s the Peacock King!"

"Such a cold, aloof beauty! Truly a peerless Demon King!"

The Peacock King’s appearance sent a wave of excitement through the many top-tier Great Demons inside the Jade Tower.

The Peacock King’s fame was widespread, and the battle at Black Mist Valley, in particular, had elevated her reputation to its zenith.

Most importantly, the Peacock King was a Female Cultivator!

"Fellow Daoist Jin, rumor has it that the Peacock King not only possesses transcendent combat power but is also a peerless beauty among Demon Kings! Seeing her today, I can see it’s all true!"

The Silver Monkey Demon sitting beside Xu Chang’an was beside himself with excitement.

For beings who had reached the level of top-tier Great Demon, there were few things left that could truly excite them.

But clearly, seeing the Peacock King was one of them.

"Indeed,"

Xu Chang’an replied perfunctorily.

By now, Peacock King Chu Xianyi had already stepped onto the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform.

Amidst the swirling, five-colored light, her figure grew increasingly indistinct.

Although the Peacock King had entered the Seven-Colored Cloud Platform and become difficult to see, the discussions inside the Jade Tower didn’t stop in the slightest.

"I heard the Peacock King was peerlessly domineering. I don’t see the domineering part, but I certainly see her stunning beauty!"

"Exactly! If you ask me, she doesn’t just rule over the Red Cloud Mountain Range with her might, she outshines it with her beauty!"

"Hahaha, exactly, exactly!"

"I wonder what sort of magnificent Demon it was who became Dao Companions with the Peacock King!"

"A magnificent Demon? The Peacock King’s Dao Companions? Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about?"

"The current prodigy of Peacock Mountain, the Peacock Princess—isn’t she the Peacock King’s descendant? If she has no Dao Companions, how could she have a descendant?"

"Hahaha, you’ve misunderstood, Fellow Daoist! The Peacock Princess is indeed a descendant of the Peacock King’s bloodline, that’s true. But she’s descended from the line of the Peacock King’s siblings, not from the Peacock King herself!"

"Is that so!?"

"It is. It has been a long time, and the Peacock King’s siblings from her generation have long since passed away. Not many Demons know this. The Peacock King has cultivated for hundreds of years, and there has never been any word of her taking Dao Companions!"

"So that’s how it is! If one could become the Peacock King’s Dao Companion... even if not as a Dao Companion, but just as a mere concubine, countless Great Demons would still flock to the opportunity!"

"Of course! With the Peacock King’s grace, winning her favor would be a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes."

"..."

Inside the Jade Tower, the conversation between a few of the top-tier Great Demons grew increasingly outrageous and inappropriate.

"Fellow Daoists, please be mindful of your words!"

A top-tier Great Demon in human form couldn’t help but interject with a warning.

’They were still on Peacock Mountain. If the Peacock King were to overhear such talk, then... the consequences would be unimaginable!’

After being reminded, the two top-tier Great Demons clearly realized their mistake and immediately changed the subject.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, if you ask me, for the Peacock King to have become a Demon King and achieved what she has, her heart for the Dao must be unshakeably firm! Unless it’s an exceptionally powerful Demon, I doubt she would ever take Dao Companions!"

The Silver Monkey Demon at his side had been listening intently to the other two Demons’ exchange.

Now that they had stopped talking about the Peacock King, he couldn’t resist speaking to Xu Chang’an.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, what do you consider an ’exceptionally powerful Demon’?"

Xu Chang’an asked with a smile.

The Silver Monkey Demon glanced at Xu Chang’an, surprised that he had actually replied in earnest.
