After Qian Shun received everyone's affirmation, he then said to Zhou Yan, "They've agreed."
"Oh, they agreed, so when do we set off?" Zhou Yan inquired.
"The time is set for..." As he spoke, Qian Shun immediately realized something was amiss and quickly said, "You're getting everything sorted out for me, what journey is there to set off on? Are you going on a city tour!"
"Alright, alright, one of the nine great demon kings of the demon realm, right? I'll go there tomorrow," Zhou Yan didn't have much else to do recently, so it was a good opportunity to make the trip.
"Then it's settled, I'll await your good news." Qian Shun replied.
"Don't worry, I'm the most reliable person." Zhou Yan answered.
Qian Shun: I don't believe you for a second...
However, Zhou Yan asked, "By the way, what are you guys going to do this time?"
"We'll talk about it after you've resolved the matter in the demon realm. I'll remind you to be careful, the Fire Saint Demon King is not someone with a good temper."
Qian Shun genuinely worried that Zhou Yan might fail. If he failed, he estimated he wouldn't be able to leave the Canglan Continent at all.
"Alright, alright, this matter is settled then," Zhou Yan nodded.
Since Zhou Yan was going to the demon realm, he naturally needed to investigate information about it first.
Zhou Yan began searching for information about the demon realm. The amount of information was quite large, but he mainly focused on information about the Fire Saint Demon King.
The information network on the Canglan Continent was somewhat limited, so Zhou Yan acquired information through other channels, the most important of which was from the [Heaven and Earth Library].
After obtaining the materials, Zhou Yan studied them carefully. Upon finishing, Zhou Yan was greatly surprised. This Fire Saint Demon King was indeed very powerful, one of the nine great demon kings of the demon realm, and infinitely close to godhood.
The demon realm had no territories, and no one could become a lord. However, the people of the demon realm were incredibly strong. The Canglan Continent and the demon realm had a relatively good relationship, with quite a bit of interaction between the two.
The entire demon realm was divided into nine regions, with a king for each region. They each managed the demons within their respective areas, and the nine great demon kings never encroached upon each other. Only the strongest individuals within each region could become a demon king.
The nine great demon kings had always been at peace. Even if there were any conflicts, major wars would not erupt. They had no significant internal strife, and if any arose, they had their own ways of resolving it.
The Fire Saint Demon King was a demon king infinitely close to godhood. The records even stated that as long as the Fire Saint Demon King wished to break through, he could ascend to the divine realm at any time.
This Fire Saint Demon King possessed such strength, already at the level of a true god!
The reason he hadn't ascended was simply to take care of his daughter, whom he was extremely reluctant to leave behind.
The Fire Saint Demon King had a beloved daughter. Her mother was a spirit of flame, and the cause of death was that the Fire Spirit Princess had absorbed too much of her mother's flame essence during her birth.
To ensure her daughter's smooth birth, her mother had voluntarily transferred all her flame essence to the Fire Spirit Princess, thus allowing the Fire Spirit Princess to be born.
The Fire Saint Demon King and the mother of the Fire Spirit Princess were deeply in love. The Fire Saint Demon King worried that if he ascended, there would be no one to care for the Fire Spirit Princess, so he had been suppressing his cultivation, preventing himself from ascending.
This was a truly touching story. The Fire Saint Demon King had always treated the Fire Spirit Princess as the apple of his eye; if she wanted the moon from the sky, the Fire Saint Demon King would dare to fetch it.
Anyone who dared to offend the Fire Spirit Princess would face death. Zhou Yan realized that this Qian Shun was truly courting death, to have survived an encounter with a demon god was a testament to his immense luck.
It was no wonder Qian Shun wanted his help. On the entire Canglan Continent, only he possessed the strength and courage to contend with the Fire Saint Demon King.
This matter could be considered easy to resolve, and also difficult.
Zhou Yan was there to solve the problem, not to fight or cause destruction, so he had to show sincerity.
The root of the problem was still the Fire Spirit Princess. As long as she could be appeased, everything would be fine.
The next day, Zhou Yan returned to the [Heaven and Earth Library] and began searching for information about the Fire Spirit Princess.
After reading all the information, Zhou Yan found it quite surprising.
The Fire Spirit Princess's personality wasn't actually bad. It was just that with her father's doting and having everything she wanted since childhood, she had naturally become a bit arrogant.
She also had a bit of a princess complex and was very naive. Zhou Yan even found her quite endearing.
No wonder the Fire Saint Demon King was so hesitant to ascend to the divine realm. If he ascended, the Fire Spirit Princess might truly be in danger.
She had caused quite a bit of trouble over the years. If not for her powerful father, how could she still be living so carefree?
Although the Fire Spirit Princess was mischievous, her nature was not inherently bad. Zhou Yan now understood the Fire Spirit Princess thoroughly from the information, and he could now definitively resolve Qian Shun's issue.
Zhou Yan arrived at the Lord's Continent, then inscribed array patterns and began to teleport to the demon realm.
Zhou Yan had spent so much money, he didn't know how many books on formations he had purchased.
Coupled with the countless factions he had eliminated, the books on formations he had acquired from those factions and territories were innumerable.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan could also learn many books on formations from the [Scripture Pavilion].
Zhou Yan had learned many formations, even many ancient array patterns.
The formations and array patterns he had learned, after being fused and decomposed by the Taiji Formation Diagram, had made his mastery of formations extremely powerful. Establishing a teleportation array to the demon realm was only reasonable.
With the consumption of various materials, Zhou Yan had successfully constructed a teleportation channel. He stepped inside and was then transported into the spatial passage, beginning to traverse through the space.
After tens of seconds, Zhou Yan had successfully arrived in a completely new place. Zhou Yan unfurled his divine sense, beginning to explore the surrounding area. He then took out a map and discovered that his current location was not within the territory of the Fire Saint Demon King.
A message arrived, it was from Qian Shun, who asked, "Have you gone to the demon realm yet?"
"I am already in the demon realm, but the place I teleported to is not the area where the Fire Saint Demon King is located, but rather within the territory of a demon king called the Ice Phoenix Demon King," Zhou Yan replied.
Upon hearing this, Qian Shun quickly said, "This Ice Phoenix Demon King doesn't get along well with the Fire Saint Demon King. While they aren't mortal enemies, they are like fire and water, not friendly with each other."
"I know that. The territories of the two sides are not very far apart. I will be able to reach the Fire Saint Demon King's location today. As for when I can resolve this matter, you'll have to wait. I can only do my best."
Although Zhou Yan was confident, he didn't want Qian Shun to think the matter could be easily resolved.
"Alright, I was just worried you wouldn't go today. The rest is up to you." Hearing that Zhou Yan was in the demon realm, Qian Shun was finally relieved and ended the call.
Zhou Yan flew towards the nearest city, intending to use the teleportation array within the city to travel there. This would be more precise, as relying on his own inscribed formations, he didn't know where he might be teleported.
After all, without precise coordinates, he could easily end up in an unknown region.
