Venerable Chongming isn't mentally ill, it's just too lonely.

Long-term imprisonment has made it incapable of normal communication with others as equals.

That might sound hard to understand, so let's put it another way.

Some people kneel for so long that they can no longer stand up.

The words don't match the intentions, but the logic is the same.

In reality, people who have knelt for a long time can return to normal if you engage them in normal exchanges for a prolonged period without specifically targeting or provoking them.

Venerable Chongming's "I'm amazing" syndrome can be treated the same way.

But where on earth would you find that many Longevity Realm people who are so idle they'd come to such a desolate place like Gan State, just to chat with this silly bird and endure its verbal pestering?

Chen Zhixing certainly couldn't manage it.

One could say, after the conversation, Chen Zhixing basically gave up on the idea of passing through the spatial rift here. The spatial rifts in Gan State aren't limited to Chongming Mountain; he didn't need to endure such humiliation.

So someone turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, hey, where do you think you're going, Demon Venerable stop, I haven't given you permission to leave yet!"

"..."

Chen Zhixing moved even faster.

But who would have thought.

He used his body technique to exit Chongming Hall, and just as he paused, Venerable Chongming appeared in front of him again.

"Demon Venerable, didn't I tell you, I haven't allowed you to leave, you can't go!"

"..."

This joker won't stop, will he?

Considering fighting this guy, Chen Zhixing felt it wasn't worth it. After all, they had no real conflicts of interest or deep-seated grudges.

So.

"Cyan Pheasant."

With a call from Chen Zhixing, the sword light of the Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword wrapped around him, shooting into the sky.

As a Longevity Emperor's Weapon, the sword light of the Cyan Pheasant was piercing and distinctive to many.

Among these was Venerable Chongming.

"This sword light.... That woman's Immortal Sword?"

Ziqing's pupils narrowed slightly, then this golden roc seemed to remember something amusing, letting out an exaggerated laugh as Venerable Chongming's goose-sized body suddenly expanded, wingspan stretching to three zhang, before unfolding its wings and soaring skyward.

Ever since it cultivated to the Nirvana Realm, no human had surpassed it in speed!

A moment later.

A golden silhouette caught up with the cyan sword light above the clouds, and once again Venerable Chongming's unending noise echoed in Chen Zhixing's ear.

"How did that woman's sword end up with you, did you rob her tomb, or are you really the chosen successor?"

"..."

"She had a good eye, I'll tell you, I told her back then that while she had talent in cultivation, her talent in the Sword Dao was leagues below mine. And in the end, after centuries of cultivating the Sword Dao, only the Flower Realm was worth looking at. As for the Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword forming... hahahaha, it was all because she was ruthless enough to perform a blood sacrifice on herself, that I truly admire!"

"..." The Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword was a result of a blood sacrifice? No wonder, I thought it was odd that many Longevity True Monarchs from the Three Great Sacred Lands didn't possess a Longevity Emperor's Weapon, and the Cyan Pheasant Sword Immortal only lived a thousand years, how could they have nurtured the Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword, a Longevity Emperor's Weapon?

"Hahahahaha... Right, since this Emperor's Weapon is in your hands, have you seen the residual soul of the Cyan Pheasant, is it still around, we're old acquaintances, let them out so I can have a chat!"

"..." This Venerable Chongming knew the Cyan Pheasant Sword Immortal and was even aware of the golden nature contained in the Immortal Sword.

"Hey, don't stay silent, I'll tell you, although I haven't interacted much with your family ancestor, even they have to call me senior. As for the rest of your Ziwei Chen Family, they have addressed me as Great Venerable when seeking audience over the past thousand years!"

"..."

"Let them out so I can meet them, I'll also catch up on how they're doing in the Spirit Realm... Speaking of which, what kind of place is the Spirit Realm, you know? I've been curious; I've heard that your Human Race enters the Spirit Realm after reaching the Longevity Realm, but our Demon Race doesn't have this privilege, to enter, not only do you need recognition from your Human Race, you also need a position...."

Chattering on and on, endlessly.

Even as they were about to fly out of Gan State, Chen Zhixing hadn't seen a single Prison Guard show up to restrain this golden roc!

'So, the fugitive has escaped, and no one is going to do anything?!' Feeling a bit irritable from Venerable Chongming's chatter all the way, Chen Zhixing thought.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop running, if you keep going, we're going to fly out of the birdcage, and when those old geezers catch me, they'll give me a lecture again. You've never been nagged by them, it's a weight no bird should bear!"

"..." So, the whole of Gan State is your birdcage, and within Gan State, you can move freely, is that right?

Confirming this, Chen Zhixing's face darkened even more.

For the first time, he felt like leaving this place.

Because he realized, his speed really couldn't match this golden roc, even though he'd gone all out, and while his speed wasn't light-speed, it was certainly comparable to a supersonic missile!

Yet the golden roc fluttered beside him, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Outrageous.

Even more outrageous was that during this time, Chen Zhixing, unable to bear it any longer, wanted to make a move several times, but each time he barely revealed a hint of intent, the golden roc would, with speed beyond his reaction, swiftly change positions, rendering his attack futile.
