“Peach Blossom Island?” Wei Chen squinted and said, “Senior, I know a little about Peach Blossom Island; it’s located beneath Ling City.”
“That’s good. I can let you cultivate here for a while. When you return, I want you to go to Peach Blossom Island in my name as my direct disciple and challenge someone there, someone around your age. If you win, you can come back to me for some rewards. If you lose, then don’t bother returning. You can consider my Soul Gathering Array as a free gift,” the old man said lightly.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before nodding. “To be honest, I also want to see how my companions are doing on Peach Blossom Island. This opportunity is just right.”
“Your companion is on Peach Blossom Island?”
“Yes, she has the Hidden Dragon Bloodline.”
“The Hidden Dragon Bloodline…”
The old man’s expression turned serious as he fell silent.
“Senior, do you know what the Hidden Dragon Bloodline is? Could you please tell me?” Wei Chen asked respectfully.
The old man sighed and said, “Child, the Hidden Dragon Bloodline refers to having True Dragon blood within one’s body. In the Soul World, there are no True Dragons, so every person who awakens the Hidden Dragon Bloodline is extremely precious. Once their potential is unlocked, their cultivation level can be terrifying.”
Wei Chen nodded slightly and thought to himself, “True Dragon? That’s the most powerful creature in legends! It’s said that the mighty True Dragons created humanity, while the Soul World is merely a very backward realm… Could it be that these legends are true? If Zhao Yu awakens her bloodline, wouldn’t she become incredibly strong?”
“Child, the person I want you to challenge on Peach Blossom Island is a Hidden Dragon Bloodline Giver of similar age to yours. I don’t know their exact Soul Power Realm. You’ll have to assess the situation when you get there; if it turns out you really can’t win, it’s not a big deal.”
“Senior, you underestimate my strength. I can take down ordinary Spirit Wisdom Realm experts; I’ve even killed some at the Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom.”
Wei Chen showed a hint of pride on his face. He had indeed killed one at the Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom—the black-robed figure—but that was just one instance… Blowing one’s own horn was an art form in itself, mixing truth with falsehood was the highest level of boasting.
The old man slightly pursed his lips, appearing skeptical yet somewhat convinced by Wei Chen’s words. He said calmly, “The fact that you didn’t stay on Peach Blossom Island proves that you don’t possess a hidden bloodline. Your companion was chosen while you were expelled.”
“Exactly.”
"Then this is your chance to prove yourself. Go to Peach Blossom Island and defeat Mighty’s direct disciple, and you will hold your head high. Mighty is truly the number one on Peach Blossom Island, his strength is comparable to mine, and his disciple should not be too weak. You need to be prepared. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you must fight hard; only then can you see the outcome. Don't let yourself be defeated in seconds; that would not only be a loss of face for me but for you as well."
"Hehe, don’t worry. Unless it’s against someone from the Surge Realm, I find it hard to battle; I can only run. Within the Spirit Wisdom Realm, I am not afraid at all. I came here to condense my Spiritual Wisdom Realm Martial Soul. Once I succeed, I won’t care about any ordinary Spirit Wisdom Realm experts."
"Very well, I hope you succeed. This is a token; with this, you can return to Peach Blossom Island. Just state your purpose, and they will let you in."
The old man handed Wei Chen a token, White Out, which was an ordinary piece of jade infused with the old man's Spirit aura, allowing others to recognize it.
Wei Chen carefully stored the token and smiled, "Senior, how do you know I will definitely go? What if I just tricked you and took advantage of the situation?"
"Hehe, child, if I couldn't even discern such things in people, then I would have wasted my time. Often, observing with your heart is more effective than just using your eyes."
The old man waved his hand and pointed to the Ice House in the center. "The formation eye is right there; go ahead and use it."
"I have a companion down below; she is not a Soul Warrior, and I'm worried she might encounter danger. Can we bring her up to the peak?"
"Yes."
The old man nodded, his figure gradually becoming ethereal before disappearing without leaving any trace.
"Truly worthy of being an Earth Soul Realm Expert; such strength is indeed formidable. If I had this kind of power in Ling City, I wouldn't fear anything."
Wei Chen thought as he flew into the icy cave on the cliff to retrieve Snow Cicada.
Upon reaching the summit, Wei Chen settled Snow Cicada inside an Ice House. Although it was cold at the peak, the Ice House was relatively warm. Snow Cicada had brought some dry rations and could last for a while.
Wei Chen entered the Ice House where the formation eye was located.
As soon as he entered, the powerful Frost Soul Power jolted him awake!
"Indeed, it's a massive Formation Array. This mountaintop must have been transformed into a Formation Base by that old man to produce such a formidable Soul Gathering Array. Cultivating in a place like this allows one to advance in the Soul Power Realm at an astonishing rate, only slightly weaker than directly absorbing Soul Stones. Those renowned mountains and top-tier Cloud Spirit Sects cannot compare to the density of Soul Power here."
Wei Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed as he operated the Soul Refinement Technique. The dense Soul Power, almost liquid in form, surged wildly into his body.
The surrounding area was an expanse of ice, and the Soul Power gathered by the Soul Gathering Array was entirely Ice Attribute, which greatly benefited Wei Chen. What he aimed to refine was the Ocean Soul, specifically from the Ice Sea of The Extreme North.
After some time, Wei Chen's Soul Power Realm reached the Great Perfection of Spirit Realm. The excess Soul Power dispersed throughout his flesh and blood. Without needing to refine valuable Soul Stones, Wei Chen unleashed his thoughts and absorbed vigorously, filling his limbs and bones with surging Soul Power. His body underwent tempering, becoming even more resilient.
Eventually, Wei Chen concluded his cultivation and rose to leave the Ice House.
At this moment, his body was filled with Frost Soul Power, and his entire demeanor changed; a cold light flickered in his eyes, and a chilling aura emanated from his every movement.
As soon as he stepped outside, the old man appeared before him.
"Thank you, senior. I have completed my cultivation."
"Good. Then let's go. If you defeat Mighty’s successor on Peach Blossom Island, I will pass on all my knowledge of formations to you. If you set up the formations in advance before battle, the advantage will be beyond your imagination."
"Hehe, I'll do my best. Just be ready; it won't be long before I return."
Wei Chen said confidently as he summoned Snow Cicada, wrapping one arm around her waist before soaring into the sky.
"This kid has some tricks up his sleeve; his aura is truly strange!"
On the sled, Snow Cicada stared at Wei Chen with an expression that suggested she had something to say but held back.
“Snow Cicada, what do you want to ask?” Wei Chen commanded four Snow Wolf Dogs to pass through the foothills of two mountains. In the distance, he could already see the vast expanse of the white Ice Sea. Noticing the complex expression on Snow Cicada's face, he asked with a faint smile.
Snow Cicada bit her lip and looked deeply at Wei Chen. “Young Master, can you let me become a Soul Warrior?”
“We can give it a try, but everyone's talent is different. I can't guarantee that you'll be able to comprehend the existence of Soul Power.”
“If you teach me, I will study diligently.”
Snow Cicada's face was filled with longing. She watched Wei Chen soar through the air, and her envy was overwhelming. She thought that if she could achieve even a fraction of that, she would have nothing to fear. Life on this Snowfield was tough; if she became a powerful Soul Warrior, she could leave Blizzard City and bid farewell to this life of danger.
“Alright, once I finish my business, I will teach you.”
Several hours later, the Sled arrived at the edge of the Ice Sea. Thick solid ice covered the shore, and only after traveling several dozen miles could one see the azure waters.
Wei Chen did not linger; the Sled continued onward until they reached the Thin Ice Area, where the ice could not withstand heavy pressure and finally stopped.
“Snow Cicada, wait for me here. I don't know how long it will take, but it shouldn't be too long.”
“Your heart is kind, Young Master.”
Wei Chen flew above the fractured ice where it met the sea, standing in mid-air as he quietly sensed the icy water's Soul Power aura. Whether ice or water, their essence was fundamentally the same. Wei Chen was filled with Frost Soul Power, which was similar to the Ice Water Soul Power. With so much Soul Power within him, it was already enough for him to condense his Spiritual Wisdom Realm Martial Soul. However, what he would condense would not be an Ocean Soul but rather a Water Soul; the difference between them was immense.
“How do I distinguish between Ocean Soul and Water Soul? If I condense my Martial Soul now, it will undoubtedly be a Water Soul. Where would I find the grandeur of the ocean?”
“The Prosperous Merchant Guild's Guest Red Man has a Lake Soul; if he can do it, why can't I? If I end up with a Water Soul, that would be such a disappointment. My Martial Souls are all top-tier; each type is formidable. I certainly don't want an ordinary Water Soul.”
Wei Chen repeatedly shattered the Water Soul that was about to form, extracting traces of Ocean Soul aura from those Water Soul powers. It was an exceedingly slow process; at this rate, it might take him a year just to condense an Ocean Soul.
In the Soul World, the vast majority of people need to spend a long time to condense their Martial Soul. The speed at which someone like Wei Chen does it is something that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine.
However, because his previous attempts to refine his Martial Soul had gone so smoothly, the sudden slowdown felt very unfamiliar to Wei Chen.
Under normal circumstances, Wei Chen wouldn’t be too anxious, but with so many matters waiting for him in Ling City, he couldn’t help but feel irritated.
“How can I keep going at this pace? By the time I condense my Ocean Soul, it’ll be too late. Demon Lotus, aren’t you supposed to be amazing? Why aren’t you coming out to help me?”
Wei Chen silently called out for Demon Lotus’s assistance, but this time, there was no response. It was nothing like before when she actively helped him refine his powerful Martial Soul.
“This is strange. Logically, Demon Lotus shouldn’t falter at such a critical moment. Could it be that she disagrees with me condensing my Ocean Soul?”
As he pondered, within his soul, the Ice Water Soul began to show signs of condensing again. He circulated his inner energy and forcefully dispersed that portion of Soul Power.
“Is this the sixth time now? The Ice Water Soul can be easily condensed, but compared to the Ocean Soul, it’s just too inferior. How could I possibly choose such a low-level Martial Soul?”
Feeling helpless, Wei Chen continued to painstakingly draw upon the power of the Ocean Soul. He was still far from reaching the level required to condense it, and hope seemed almost nonexistent.
At that moment, within the Spiritual Wisdom Soul, the Ice Water Soul began to condense once more...
“What’s going on? This is so frustrating! Demon Lotus, please help me!”
