Chapter 1403: Chapter 565: Peacock Nirvana [Subscription Request]_2

It turns out that Zhou Daoyi was not killed by anyone but instead encountered a Core Formation opportunity outside and forcibly attempted to form his core, leading to his own downfall.

After learning of this event, the atmosphere of grief within the Zhou Family significantly alleviated. Most people felt sorry for Zhou Daoyi but lost the sense of mourning.

After all, for those embarking on cultivation, dying while attempting to break through major barriers is just a degree better than sitting and transforming from old age. It could even be seen as a celebratory funeral!

Some determined cultivators would rather die in the process of a breakthrough than wait idly for their demise due to old age.

Zhou Daoyi perished while breaking through major barriers, which means he had once been infinitely close to the Golden Core Stage; in a certain sense, it was worth it!

Subsequently, the family held a grand funeral for Zhou Daoyi, and his ashes were interred in the family tomb.

Afterward, Zhou Chun, Lin Hongyu, and other family elders reclined into seclusion, rarely appearing in public to avoid anyone from deciphering their emotions.

It took over a year for Zhou Daoyi’s demise to scarcely be discussed, and those in sadness had fully returned to normal life, allowing Zhou Chun to appear before people again.

During this time, Zhou Chun had already refined a second Jade Dew Golden Halo Pill, further advancing his mana cultivation level. To avoid drawing attention to his ordinarily rapid cultivation progress, he also tried to limit encounters with other Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Until this day, Qin Yang suddenly visited the Zhou family, prompting Zhou Chun to break from family reclusion and accompany him to Jinzhou.

“Senior Zhou, please look over there. It’s here. Over this past year, I’ve searched sub-soil throughout a thousand miles in this vicinity and finally succeeded in discovering the Flame Prison Peacock within this forsaken nook!”

On a hill overgrown with lush green shrubs, Xu Yang landed here with Zhou Chun and earnestly recounted his discovery while pointing to a cave on the mountain.

Zhou Chun gazed around, noting that the hill and the terrain below were indeed typical volcanic landscape formed after an eruption, lacking in towering trees yet abundant with various shrubs and wild grass.

Judging by the appearance, it must have been several centuries since the last eruption here.

Xu Yang being able to find this place, unfazed by such elusive spots, signified he was genuinely pushed to the brink.

And to set up a hidden nest below such a location demonstrated the cautiousness of the Flame Prison Peacock.

After scrutinizing the surroundings, Zhou Chun acknowledged Xu Yang’s contribution with words of affirmation, “This place is so remote and unnoticed, yet you didn’t give up; indeed, you were diligent.”

With that, he concealed his aura and proceeded with Xu Yang down the cave.

This cave was opened by Xu Yang in search of the Flame Prison Peacock; initially, it was clogged.

Zhou Chun and Xu Yang descended several dozen feet deep through the cave before entering a naturally formed cavern caused by volcanic activity.

As they moved farther dentro the natural cavern, the temperature gradually rose, indicating they were getting closer to the lava.

Continuing like this for another quarter-hour, a faint red glow appeared in the once-dark cavern.

Moving further, Zhou Chun soon witnessed a sight that was fascinatingly unusual.

In the wide chamber stood a circular nest constructed from various fire-attributed materials such as Fire Essence Jade, Flame Light Iron, Purple Fire Copper, Flame Crystal, and Century-old Flame Jade!

Beneath the nest lay a lava pool with a three-zhang diameter, where bouts of lava bubbles burst occasionally, igniting firelight in the air.

Within the nest dwelt a massive glowing red entity.

The giant red glowing entity was perceived at a distance as a vertically erect, massive fiery red egg. Upon closer inspection, it was a blazing red peacock nesting with its wings covering its head within the nest.

The bright red glimmer over its form came from the crimson flames burning on its body.

This indeed was the Flame Prison Peacock!

At this time, the Flame Prison Peacock was undergoing a Nirvana in Flames status.

This state was exceptionally distinctive; during the nirvana state, its aura entirely secluded, rendering it impossible to determine through aura alone whether it was a Third Order or Fourth Order magical beast.

Furthermore, due to being in this nirvana state, the Flame Prison Peacock’s perception of its surroundings was practically non-existent; even though Zhou Chun and Xu Yang stood just a few dozen feet away, it showed no reaction.

Knowing this, Qin Yang dared to directly bring Zhou Chun here.

After observing the Flame Prison Peacock, Zhou Chun turned to Qin Yang beside him and inquired, “Taoist Friend Qin, do you happen to know roughly how long this nirvana state will last?”

Upon hearing the question, Qin Yang immediately displayed a look of difficulty, hesitated a moment, and then softly responded, “I dare not be certain, but I would estimate it should conclude within three to five years!”

“Three to five years? That’s more or less what I anticipated,”

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, agreeing with this assessment.

As a cultivator with two Fourth Order Spirit Pets, Zhou Chun had the authority to comment on magical beasts breaking through to the Fourth Order.

The Flame Prison Peacock was inherently one of those Third Order high-grade magical beasts ready to break through, lacking only a slight opportunity.

Having consumed the Phoenix Eye Fire Glow Grass, that missing opportunity was supplemented, and it could immediately begin its evolutionary breakthrough.

In most scenarios, this evolutionary breakthrough process yields results within three to five years; the situation like Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, which took just over two years to succeed, is an exception.
