Hearing the words of the Old Black Tortoise, Wei Chen's heart trembled. He thought to himself, "This old fellow, does he really want to actively contribute Divine Soul Power to me? If I can condense the Black Tortoise Martial Soul, then I will have three types of divine beast Martial Souls within me: the Fire Phoenix, the Golden Dragon, and the Xuan Gui. One represents speed, one represents strength, and one represents defense... If that were the case, I wouldn't even be afraid of ordinary strong opponents."
Ji Mei quietly felt happy for Wei Chen. "Finally, this trip has not been in vain. If I obtain the Black Tortoise Martial Soul, Wei Chen will have some means of self-protection when he reaches the Central Domain."
Gu Yuehong watched silently, a hint of sorrow appearing in her eyes.
"This old man is quite righteous. He is already at the end of his strength. Once he separates his Spirit to help the Demon Lotus Emperor condense a Martial Soul, it won't be long before he dies..."
The Old Black Tortoise observed Wei Chen closely, not missing any trace of expression on his face.
Even if there was a hint of greed in Wei Chen's eyes, he would withdraw and refuse to help.
But what surprised the Old Black Tortoise was that there was no greed or joy in Wei Chen's eyes; instead, there was a hint of compassion.
Seeing that expression, the Old Black Tortoise felt slightly reassured.
"Senior, if you do that, you won't be able to live either, right? Helping humanity condense a Martial Soul will cause you great harm," Wei Chen ultimately shook his head and rejected the Old Black Tortoise's proposal.
The Old Black Tortoise replied calmly, "At my age, living another three years or dying immediately makes little difference. If I can help you before I die, it would at least make my death somewhat worthwhile."
The Old Black Tortoise was impressed by Wei Chen's demeanor; faced with temptation, he remained composed and even showed a sense of compassion for others. This incarnation of the Demon Lotus Emperor was vastly different from his previous life.
Because of this, the Old Black Tortoise felt a strong fondness for Wei Chen and willingly wanted to help him.
Good people often do not have bad luck. Although that kindness may not bring them any benefits, it certainly won't lead to any harm.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, your current strength is very weak. In your previous life, you were formidable and unmatched. To regain your former power will be a long journey ahead. I have little ability left; before I die, let me offer what little help I can."
The Old Black Tortoise was massive, resembling a mountain in size. Wei Chen stood before the Old Black Tortoise, feeling minuscule in comparison. Yet, the bond between the human and the divine beast was surprisingly harmonious.
Ji Mei and Gu Yuehong quietly observed from the side, feeling that they had no place to interject and unwilling to disturb this rare moment of tranquility.
"Senior, if you help me condense the Xuan Gui soul, how much longer can you live?"
"About that... it would just be like taking a nap. I have lived for ten thousand years and have no more attachments to the mortal world. For me, living three more years is no different than living three years."
As the Old Black Tortoise spoke, its enormous body began to tremble, causing the ground to shake violently. In an instant, a Xuan Gui appeared before Wei Chen.
The Old Black Tortoise's eyes showed great pain as it weakly said, "Absorb it. I hope that when you arrive in Hua Xia, you can take care of my kin. There are not many of the Black Tortoise Clan left; I do not wish to see another Xuan Gui vanish from Hua Xia. Also, Demon Lotus Emperor, if you have any thoughts on this matter, please consider my words carefully. The Hua Xia World truly cannot withstand another battle."
"I will remember your words," Wei Chen nodded solemnly.
The Old Black Tortoise gazed deeply at Wei Chen before gently closing its eyes. Soon after, even breaths began to escape its nostrils.
"Has it really fallen asleep? This time, it seems like it will never wake up again," Wei Chen thought lightly as the Xuan Gui spirit drilled into his abdomen. The Demon Lotus separated a petal to envelop the Xuan Gui and instantly absorbed it into his soul.
There was no pain whatsoever, not even a hint of rejection. The Black Tortoise Martial Soul brought a cool and gentle warmth that helped Wei Chen break through to the Human Soul Realm.
Feeling the Xuan Gui quietly resting within his soul, a tender smile appeared on Wei Chen's lips as he silently vowed, "Fellow, grow strong quickly. Your true form remains in the Soul World, but I promise I will take you to Hua Xia World."
"Wei Chen, time is running out. Where do you plan to go next?" The three of them set off again, but without a clear direction.
"No need to go deeper. Let's find a quiet place to cultivate and break through to the Earth Soul Realm as soon as possible. Passing the Three Trials is what truly matters. We don't have much time left; otherwise, we should explore the depths."
"There will be other opportunities. Don't worry. When we come back next time, we can check out the deeper areas. By then, your strength should have improved significantly, and you can truly serve as my protector, right?" Ji Mei said lightly.
Wei Chen pouted and replied, "Don't even think about it. There's no way I'm letting you be my protector."
"Whatever, come if you want," Ji Mei retorted.
Wei Chen sighed softly and said, "I definitely won't come to the next Penglai Secret Realm Gathering. It's only once every ten years; I can't wait that long. In less than three years, I need to go to another world to cultivate. I've set my sights on my goal and direction; I can't just drift along aimlessly anymore. Returning to Huaxia is my ultimate goal; all my efforts are aimed at going back."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Gu Yuehong nodded slightly, while Ji Mei's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.
Even before the time of parting had arrived, Ji Mei's heart was already filled with sorrow at the thought of separation.
"Wei Chen, returning to Huaxia—does it really mean that much to you?" Ji Mei asked softly.
"I don't know, but it's my destiny."
Ji Mei pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "What about those women of yours? As far as I know, there are quite a few who are devoted to you for life. Can you really leave them behind and go alone?"
"Uh..."
Wei Chen was taken aback, thinking, "This question is indeed complicated. I wonder if I can take them with me?"
With a strange expression, Wei Chen stared at Ji Mei and chuckled, "Ji Mei, I will definitely take them with me when the time comes. But I wonder if some people would be willing to give up their status as Sea Princess to come with me?"
"Bah! Who would want to go with you? Dream on," Ji Mei replied, her face flushed. The feeling of parting sorrow vanished in an instant, replaced by a warm affection spreading through her chest.
Ji Mei felt a warmth enveloping her entire body; the power of Wei Chen's words was beyond imagination.
"Is that a promise? Is that a declaration of love? Wei Chen, oh Wei Chen, do you know that as long as you are willing to take me away, I would give up being a Sea Princess? Even if it means forsaking the title of Soul World King, I could do that!"
...
In the Penglai Secret Realm, treasures were everywhere, but for Wei Chen, there were not many things that could truly be called treasures. Wei Chen, Ji Mei, and Gu Yuehong quietly cultivated while battles erupted in other areas. Conflicts arose between humans and humans, humans and the Sea Tribe, among the Sea Tribe themselves, between the Sea Tribe and beasts, and between beasts and humans. Fighting was omnipresent—driven by survival and resources.
The Penglai Secret Realm Gathering was indeed a grand event, but for many, it was both a celebration and a bloody slaughter. A total of fifteen hundred people entered, but less than half would make it out alive. Yet those who survived would have undergone the tempering of the Penglai Secret Realm and would gain excellent opportunities both within and outside the realm, rapidly advancing in Soul Power Realm.
While Wei Chen, Ji Mei, and Gu Yuehong quietly cultivated in the depths of the Penglai Secret Realm, two peerless strongmen sat facing each other.
Surrounding them were countless beasts lying on the ground, trembling in fear.
The strength they exuded was enough to subdue countless beasts!
It was none other than Sea Monster Emperor Ji Pokong and Master of the Central Domain Fire Sect, Thunderstorm!
"Brother Lei, how is your cultivation going?" Ji Pokong asked casually.
"There's no effect; we've already reached the peak of this world. No matter how much we cultivate, it's all in vain. The only good news is that my understanding of Yuan Power has improved a bit," Thunderstorm said with a smile.
"I feel the same way. That high-grade energy of Yuan Power probably only exists in the Penglai Secret Realm within Soul World, right?" Ji Pokong asked.
"That's for sure. I've sent people to investigate every corner of Soul World, and I've personally checked any place that seemed unusual, but I found nothing. The wonders of Yuan Power are beyond our grasp right now. When we reach another world, our strength won't be that impressive either, but the pursuit is endless. Since we're going, we should lay the groundwork first. Accumulating and understanding Yuan Power is a rare foundation," Thunderstorm replied.
"Of course, Brother Lei. When the time comes, we'll be starting from scratch again. With just three years left, we need to address any regrets quickly. We can't be careless about the issue of successors!" Ji Pokong said.
Thunderstorm nodded and sighed, "There are many powerful juniors in Fire Sect, but once we leave, Soul World will become a vacuum zone. Without Soul Realm Experts to support it, if Soul Palace acts recklessly, who can withstand it? In my opinion, for the next few years, our focus must be on Soul Palace. While we're still here, we should do our best to suppress them so that when we leave, we can leave behind a period of peace for Soul World."
"Exactly. I've received news that Soul Palace has been making constant moves lately; it seems they're planning something."
"I've heard the same thing. The problem is that no one knows where the headquarters of Soul Palace is located. Our spies either go decades without any news or end up dead; it's utterly futile. Soul Palace has always been a cancer in Soul World. If we don't eradicate them, even if we go to High-Level Plane to cultivate, we won't find peace," Thunderstorm lamented.
"Indeed, the strength of Soul Palace is quite rare. I even suspect that their backing comes from that upper world!" Ji Pokong's face showed a fierce expression before turning into one of helplessness as he shook his head and said, "Brother Lei, let's do our best; the rest depends on luck. If we can't locate the headquarters of Soul Palace, we won't be able to deal them a heavy blow. This has been a lingering concern for humanity for tens of thousands of years."
In Soul World, various races coexist—whether they are humans, Sea Tribe, demon races, Snow Tribe, Barbarians, and so on—they are essentially all part of humanity. Beyond humanity lies the Demon Beast Clan, and lastly, there is the Soul Clan!
The higher-ups of Soul Palace all possess the bloodline of the Soul Clan!
The Soul Clan is a peculiar race that exists outside both humanity and the Demon Beast Clan!
There are rumors that the origin of the Soul Clan is from the High-Level Plane world within Soul World!
