Xi He had a special identity. After leaving Taiyin Star, she transformed into a dashing and handsome young master.

However, it seemed she wasn't particularly skilled at the art of transformation; she only changed her physical appearance, while the most crucial parts like Divine Thought, aura, and passive aspects of her Primordial Spirit remained largely unchanged.

Yu Yuan followed behind Xi He, moving swiftly within Heavenly Court.

Compared to the Heavenly Court of later times, the current Demon Clan Heavenly Court was much larger, and the architectural styles were more varied and complex.

At a glance.

The celestial palaces full of fairy Qi, the majestic and grand Treasure Halls, the graceful and refined pavilions, the bold and robust towers... All kinds of buildings with different styles converged, blending into a colorful Heavenly Court.

This was an inclusive Demon Clan Heavenly Court!

It had gathered Immortal Gods from all over Primordial, absorbed the essence of various intelligent races, taken advantage of their strengths, and finally formed this melting pot of a Heavenly Court!

Walking through this Heavenly Court, one could truly feel what is meant by 'majestic grandeur'.

If one were not flying on the clouds, but rather walking as a mortal, it might take an entire lifetime to see even one-thousandth of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court's splendid scenery.

Apart from those Demon Gods serving in the Demon Court, there were also various intelligent races who had come to take refuge in the Heavenly Court.

The entire Heavenly Court was bustling, with numerous palaces, wide heavenly streets, and an array of palace buildings serving various purposes, all of which were incredibly luxurious.

In the residential areas, the inhabitants from various races were coming and going, and most of them had become immortals.

However, even in a place like the Heavenly Court, Immortal Gods did not dare to act rashly; one might accidentally bump into a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Yu Yuan followed Xi He while observing his surroundings.

Seeing all the different races gathering together in harmonious joy, he couldn't help but admire Emperor Jun's grand vision and strategy.

According to what he knew, it was this Innate Divine being born from Taiyang Star who proposed the core concept of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court—'Unity of all races, harmonious coexistence'.

"The reason for Primordial's chaos lies in the fact that there are thousands of rules for thousands of races, each with its own interests!"

"If Primordial had only one Demon Clan, following the same rules, upholding the same interests, then there would be no more strife in Primordial!"

These were the words of Emperor Jun.

It was with this concept that he attracted a large number of followers, and, coupled with his powerful martial force, induced many intelligent races to join him wholeheartedly.

Eventually, he succeeded in defeating his main rival, the Kunpeng Ancestor, and became the supreme Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan!

After that, he even established the Heavenly Court, attempting to command the Three Realms, to thoroughly implement his concept to every corner of Primordial, to unify all races into one, achieve unity in Heaven and Earth, and put an end to all conflicts!

Before today, Yu Yuan wasn't sure if this concept was just a pretense concocted by Emperor Jun to rally people's hearts, but after witnessing the opulence and grandeur of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, he started to believe in it.

Regardless of whether this concept was too dreamy or overly idealistic, at least this resplendent settlement before him proved that the Demon Emperor was indeed striving towards that direction.

He turned into a breeze and entwined around a strand of Xi He's hair, following her through this lively settlement.

After a while, they finally arrived at a tranquil place.

Ahead, amidst the clouds, was a crystal-clear lake with blue waters as clear as day, like a giant sapphire nestled among the white clouds.

The lakeside scenery was picturesque, covered with Yao Grass and shrouded in fairy mist, with weeping willows hanging like smoke and trees with Spirit Roots. When the breeze blew, flower petals fell like rain, fragrantly wafting through the air, enchantingly beautiful.

Standing in the midst of the lake were many Immortal Island and Divine Mountains, shaded by green trees and adorned with clusters of flowers. The melodious sound of stringed and woodwind music could be heard, along with countless Immortals dancing gracefully.

Deep within the lake, clouds and mists swirled in the sky, floating above which was a palace constructed entirely out of countless flowers.

This was a very special place, as if the essence of the Dao flowed here, pervading the air with a rich floral fragrance that was intoxicating.

The entire palace seemed like an exquisite piece of art, surrounded by a pathway blooming with colorful flowers.

"This Flower Palace is the domain of Qin Yuan Demon Saint."

Everything within the palace was also made of flowers, and even the fish swimming in the ponds were formed from brightly colored petals.

The Flower Palace was filled with beautiful fairies, who fluttered lightly around, singing, and emanating a faint fragrance. They appeared free from worries and sorrows, only knowing happiness and contentment.

Xi He entered the palace, but the fairies seemed not to notice her, continuing to enjoy themselves.

"Qin Yuan!"

Xi He called out softly: "I have an important matter to discuss with you, come out and see me quickly!"

As her voice faded, a delicate figure suddenly appeared before her, dressed in a garment of colorful feathers, elegant and luxurious. The skirt trailed down, slit at the knee to reveal legs as fair as frosty snow.

She was barefooted, with feet as white as snow, walking on air. A golden ring on her right foot glinted with a muted glow, making her slender barefoot seem like a flawless piece of white jade, irresistibly alluring to the touch.

"Let me guess... You're seeking me out at this time, surely it can't be to prepare for a grand wedding?"

Qin Yuan blinked her bright, expressive eyes, somewhat cramped as she looked at Xi He and asked.

"Not so," Xi He shook her head, looking earnestly at Qin Yuan as she said, "Just now, I heard His Majesty assigned you and the Demon Master to capture that Red Cloud...

This person has a wide network of friends, spread throughout the Primordial realm. Capturing him brings no benefits to the Heavenly Court, only harm. Why would His Majesty insist on capturing him?"

"Why don't you ask His Majesty about this?" Qin Yuan looked at Xi He with suspicion, her delicate nose twitching slightly, and her expression suddenly changed. She produced a silver needle, thin as a hair, and rapidly stabbed at Xi He.

To be precise, she stabbed at the tip of Xi He's hair.

That was precisely where Yu Yuan was hiding.

Clearly, his whereabouts had been exposed.

The needle solidly struck the strand of immortality he had transformed into, forcing him to reveal his true form, still under the guise of Bai Ze.

Elegant and gentle, with scholarly grace.

At the same time, a fierce poison rapidly spread within his body, quickly devouring his flesh and Primordial Spirit, eroding his Mana.

The transparent information panel started to scroll.

[Continuous poisoning: Qi-Blood +1024, Mana +2230, Visual Acuity +23, Auditory Acuity +22, Soul Power +211, Spirit +421, Primordial Spirit Strength +2831…]

[Continuous poisoning: Qi-Blood +996, Mana +2195, Muscle and Bone +19, Endurance +66, Essence Qi +111, Primordial Spirit Strength +3121…]

…

Comfortable!

The poison needle of Qin Yuan Demon Saint was indeed remarkable; even with his sturdy physique, he was instantly compromised, and it greatly damaged his Mana and Primordial Spirit.

Seeing a "Bai Ze" suddenly materialize on Xi He's body, the initiator Qin Yuan was also startled, glancing at Xi He in surprise, "When I first smelled the scent of a man on you, I thought my nose was playing tricks on me. I never expected that there was really a man hidden on you, Friend!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xi He's face suddenly turned pale, a fleeting look of panic and fear flashing in her eyes.

However, the next moment, she calmed down and reprimanded angrily: "This damned fellow has been pestering me on the road, and now he even dares to surreptitiously follow me! Friend, lend me a hand quickly and capture him to be punished by His Majesty!"

As she spoke, she already took the initiative to thrust her True Water Sword at Yu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the latter did not dodge, and was instantly pierced chillingly through by the True Water Sword.

The sword, flowing like water, passed through his body, and the cold energy on the blade instantly froze him.

Xi He's eyes flashed with surprise and hesitation but then became vicious again, furiously stimulating the True Water Sword, using the power of Taiyin True Water to erode and cleanse Yu Yuan's flesh and Primordial Spirit.

Qin Yuan looked at her with a weird expression, really wanting to remind her, "If this goes on, this person will be completely annihilated."

However, she then thought perhaps this was the outcome the future Heavenly Queen of the Demon Court wished to see.

It was better not to meddle in others' affairs.

And so, Xi He utilized the True Water Sword with all her might to refine Yu Yuan.

A swift half-hour passed.

All that was left in front of her was a huge, transparent human-shaped ice sculpture, within which no trace of the "Bai Ze's" presence or Primordial Spirit fluctuations could be felt anymore.

Xi He breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately withdrew the True Water Sword and sent her Divine Thought into it to search.

She wanted to find the Image Retention Pearl and destroy it in advance.

This way, no one would ever know of the unsightly side she had shown.

But after searching for a while, she did not find the expected Spiritual Treasure used to store miscellaneous items.

Could it have been refined together with the True Water Sword?

Not having seen the Image Retention Pearl, Xi He still felt somewhat uneasy, and when she turned her head, she met Qin Yuan Demon Saint's curious gaze.

Xi He's face flashed embarrassment, and she was about to explain her actions just now when she noticed something flicker within the ice sculpture—a bag that appeared and disappeared in an instant.

Was it the "Bai Ze's" Treasure Bag?

Xi He could not worry about anything else and immediately waved to shatter the ice sculpture and grasped the bag.

However, the texture she felt was somewhat off.

Hard and robust!

Completely different from the soft bag she had imagined.

At the same time, a familiar voice rang out, "Your Highness, how much longer do you want to touch? I was hoping to have Qin Yuan Demon Saint help me with a few more needles."
