Chapter 345: Chapter 294-295: Refining Void Realm, The Meaning of Dao Companions

"Peacock King, this Emperor is greatly pleased to see your cultivation has advanced, and that the distance between us has not widened!"

Xu Chang’an had the appearance of a young boy, yet he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of someone who could look down upon the entire world.

This time, seeing him stand with such an air, Chu Xianyi no longer felt that Zi Dian was merely posturing or feigning sophistication.

"The Demon Path is a lonely one. With the Peacock King for company, I imagine it won’t be too dull!"

So Xu Chang’an said, but in his heart, he was thinking,

’First, I’ll placate this girl for now. Once I can devour a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure Spirit, then I’ll get her under my thumb!’

Hearing Xu Chang’an’s words, Chu Xianyi felt a faint tremor in her heart. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

’The Demon Path is a lonely one...’

’Yes, the Demon Path is arduous. From her weakest days until now, she had always walked it alone.’

’The Great Dao is eternal, and who knows how much of the road ahead remains!’

’Must she...’

’...continue on like this?’

"I am also greatly pleased that the Demon Emperor thinks this way! The Demon Path is a lonely one. Having the Demon Emperor as a fellow traveler will surely be a unique experience!"

Chu Xianyi’s voice was pleasing to the ear, its usual coolness now tinged with a hint of flirtatious shyness that soothed Xu Chang’an’s heart.

Huh!?

Wait!

’Flirtatious shyness!?’

’Is this still the Peacock King!?’

’Surely, he must have misheard!’

"Peacock King, your breakthrough just now clearly caused quite a commotion. Although we seem to be safe for now, it’s not wise to linger here. Shall we leave first?"

Xu Chang’an said.

Chu Xianyi nodded lightly.

She raised a delicate arm, and a seven-colored light flashed.

To Xu Chang’an’s astonishment, a Spiritual Boat materialized in midair. It was over ten zhang long, two stories high, and painted a brilliant vermilion from bow to stern.

This Spiritual Boat was exquisite. Though not as massive as the one he had ridden before, it possessed a unique charm.

"Let’s get on. Any questions you have can wait until we’re aboard!"

Chu Xianyi’s gaze flowed over Xu Chang’an as she watched him.

"Alright."

He wasn’t sure if he was imagining things, but he felt a subtle shift in Chu Xianyi’s tone.

Inside, the Spiritual Boat was lavishly decorated. In addition to a common area, there were several private rooms and meditation chambers.

Chu Xianyi channeled her Primordial Spirit Power, her delicate hands weaving through several intricate and beautiful spell seals.

A halo of light shimmered, and the Spiritual Boat slowly began to move. It steadily accelerated until it reached a tremendous speed.

Through his Demon Sense, Xu Chang’an perceived that the Spiritual Boat was flying through the sky, trailing a seven-colored tail of light.

Its speed was so great that even he, now in the Refining Void Realm, could not hope to match it!

"Her name is the Vermilion Bird!"

Chu Xianyi sat down on an exquisite chair. With a flash of light, Spirit Wine and delectable delicacies appeared before her.

"The Vermilion Bird!?"

"Why don’t you sit and we can talk?"

"Alright."

His mind filled with questions, Xu Chang’an sat down in the chair opposite Chu Xianyi.

"In the Great Realm, the ambient pressure is immense. Due to this and other universal laws, even a member of the Divinity Transformation Demon Race finds it exceedingly difficult to fly. The Demon Emperor has surely felt this."

Xu Chang’an nodded.

It was true. For a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator to fly in the Great Realm felt just like trying to achieve flight in the Cangyu World after just reaching Late-stage Qi Refining.

"Although it’s much better after entering the Refining Void Realm, long-distance flight is still far too taxing.

"Especially when the Great Realm is practically boundless, relying on one’s own power to travel is simply impractical. Thus, Spiritual Boats like this, specifically designed for travel, came into being.

"As long as they are supplied with Spirit Crystals for energy, they can travel for extended periods. Not only are they fast, but they make the journey effortless. They are highly praised by the demons of the Great Realm!"

"My Vermilion Bird, provided it has a steady supply of Spirit Crystals, can travel a hundred thousand li in a day. That’s just a normal pace!"

Xu Chang’an nodded slightly.

Even though he had reached the Refining Void Realm, considering the conditions of the Great Realm, he could travel ten thousand li a day at most.

The Vermilion Bird’s flight speed was a full ten times his own!
