BZZZT... BZZZT... BZZZT...
Flashes of light flickered and flowed, slowly shifting along specific pathways and patterns.
Within a few breaths, the Array Restrictions of the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace were fully released.
Seeing the Array Restrictions open, Xu Chang’an didn’t linger. He transformed into a streak of light and shot out of the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace.
Before he left, he sent a message with his Demon Sense, leaving the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, with a few words.
"During our Soul Fusion just now, I saw the Peacock King was quite intoxicated with pleasure. We’ll meet again in sixty years. How about we enjoy another Soul Fusion then!?"
The Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, watched Xu Chang’an leave, remaining silent for a long time.
The Seven-Colored Cloud Palace was utterly still and silent, submerged in quiet.
A full quarter of an hour later, a cold, elegant voice finally rang out within the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace.
"Summon Chu Yunrou to see me!"
"Yes."
The voice of a Great Demon sounded from outside the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace.
...
A streak of light flashed across the sky.
Xu Chang’an continuously replayed the scene from the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace in his mind, analyzing and reflecting on it.
’I wonder if my actions just now revealed any flaws,’ he thought.
A Nascent Soul Formation Opportunity—how precious!
If he could complete Pill Formation and Infant Formation, he would step into the Nascent Soul Realm.
Whether for the Demon Race or the Human Race, it would open up a whole new world.
He would transcend the mortal coil and roam the world freely!
He’d have a lifespan of at least three thousand years!
’The Core Secret Realm involves such an important opportunity!’
’Since the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, dared to tell me this information, she must have countermeasures prepared!’
’I don’t know what those measures are, but they certainly won’t be ordinary!’
With this in mind, Xu Chang’an knew he had to be cautious.
However, if he had agreed too easily during their conversation, the Peacock King might have grown suspicious.
But if he hadn’t agreed...
...he was inside the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace, under its Array Restrictions, putting him in a very passive position.
Besides, in a direct confrontation, his strength was far inferior to the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi’s.
If things turned hostile between him and Chu Xianyi, he would be at a disadvantage!
Although he had the Little Sword Spirit as a trump card, Xu Chang’an really didn’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary!
This was why he had changed his tune earlier.
When the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, asked for his reason, Xu Chang’an gave a vague response, intending to mislead her.
Furthermore, he had gotten up to leave in a hurry.
While it could be seen as normal, a deeper look would reveal an eagerness to get away.
To prevent the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, from seeing through him...
...Xu Chang’an had deliberately left her with a provocative remark as a cover.
’As for the sixty-year pact I promised the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi...?’
’If I’m strong enough by then, I might as well go along with it and explore the Secret Realm.’
’But if my strength is insufficient, I’ll just pretend it never happened!’
’Right now, I’ve accumulated enough Energy on my panel. Once I find a secluded place, I can break through to the Mid-stage Core Formation at any time and become a Veteran Demon King.’
’With my accumulated foundation, once I step into the Mid-stage Core Formation, I should be nearly invincible among those in the Core Formation realm.’
’I won’t be much weaker than the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi!’
’That’s the situation now. So, after sixty years, what does it matter if I break my promise!?’
’What can the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, do to me then?’
"Speaking of which, was the gift I brought for the celebration too extravagant? That was a Clear Heart Pill!"
Xu Chang’an felt a pang of regret.
However, he recalled that the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, already knew about him snatching the Golden Jade Hairpin.
’If I hadn’t come bearing a heavy gift, there might have been trouble, creating unnecessary problems!’
Besides, this trip to Peacock Mountain was incredibly fruitful. He had successfully obtained the opportunity from the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi.
Compared to his gains, a mere Clear Heart Pill seemed like a trivial detail.
’I imagine the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, understood the meaning behind my gift. She’ll probably give that Clear Heart Pill to the Little Peacock!
The old karma is settled! Now I can pursue the Great Dao! Hahaha...’
Xu Chang’an felt a sense of exhilaration and laughed heartily.
’To be honest, the taste of the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, was truly exquisite!’
’Only those who have tasted it can know its wonders!’
...
"Seven days without leaving the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace! That Purple Thunder Demon King really has some stamina!"
"A Demon King’s physique is formidable, beyond what we can imagine. The Purple Thunder Demon King is truly a lucky man!"
"..."
Inside a tavern in Peacock Demon City, two Qi Refining Old Demons were chatting with great enthusiasm.
As they spoke of the details, their expressions were animated and full of insinuation.
Somehow, the story of the Purple Thunder Demon King and the Peacock King not leaving the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace for seven days had spread from Peacock Mountain.
The Peacock King’s Dao Companion, the Purple Thunder Demon King!
The untold story of the Purple Thunder Demon King and the Peacock King!
The Purple Thunder Demon King’s formidable stamina, seven days in the Seven-Colored Cloud Palace!
And so on!
For a time, these tidbits became the most widely circulated rumors and gossip among the many Demons of Peacock Demon City.
"Yeah, that’s the Peacock King we’re talking about! If it were me, forget seven days, I’d..."
The two Qi Refining Old Demons were still chatting in the tavern.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was startled by several other Qi Refining Old Demons who suddenly rushed in.
"Magical Combat is forbidden in Peacock Demon City! Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?"
"We’re from the Demon City’s Law Enforcement Hall! You’re under arrest for speaking ill of a Demon King!"
Although many Demons gossiped about the Peacock King’s affairs, they were usually discreet, as it involved a Demon King.
It was rare to see someone discussing it so openly and in such depth.
Did they really think they could talk so loudly about a Demon King in a Demon City tavern, as if the Law Enforcement Demons of Peacock Demon City didn’t exist!?
