"His strength is indeed formidable. I might be able to fight him to a standstill, but I could never kill him. His power is simply not below that of me or Thunderstorm," Ji Pokong pondered for a moment before speaking lightly.
He had an immense trust in Ji Mei and had never considered that she might keep something from him.
No matter what Ji Mei was involved in, he believed in her one hundred percent. Yet this time, Ji Mei showed no intention of revealing the truth, not even about the East Sea King and Bohai King.
Bohai King had become her secret subordinate, completely aligned with her and Ji Feng's faction. Once Ji Pokong left Soul World, Bohai King would serve as a hidden piece on the chessboard, a tool for Ji Mei and Ji Feng to vie for the Sea Tribe's throne.
Such matters were not something Ji Mei would share with Ji Pokong.
"Father, why bother with so much? Wei Chen's relationship with Soul Palace can be described as a life-and-death rivalry. With a powerful ally by his side, it can only be good for us from any perspective!"
Ji Pokong nodded, his eyes scrutinizing Ji Mei as he asked, "Mei'er, honestly, how do you feel about Wei Chen?"
Ji Mei's face flushed red as she stammered, "Father, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"If you like him, then go with him to Central Domain tomorrow. I can see that his future will be bright. Being with him wouldn't be beneath your dignity," Ji Pokong said with a smile, a hint of affection appearing in his eyes.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Ji Mei replied shyly.
"What are you thinking that I wouldn't know? Just go to Central Domain with Wei Chen. Also, I have a task for you. If you complete it well, I can leave Soul World at ease and head to another higher dimensional space for cultivation. If you don't do well, I'll still have to leave Soul World but won't be able to relax," Ji Pokong said calmly.
"Father, when will you transcend?"
"Transcend? Ha! That's merely a rumor. Once you've reached Soul Realm Peak, you can leave whenever you want; there's no such thing as a thunder tribulation. The so-called thunder tribulation is just a trick to fool people. I could go to another world for cultivation right now if I wanted, but there are too many things I can't let go of, so I've been delaying my departure. Thunderstorm is just like me; he doesn't dare to leave recklessly."
"This time we are setting up a grand scheme. Once it succeeds, I and Thunderstorm can leave in peace, giving you ample time to develop without being suppressed by the Soul Palace."
After hearing Ji Pokong's words, Ji Mei was stunned for a long time, then asked in surprise, "Father, do you mean that before you leave, you want to deal with the Soul Palace first?"
Ji Pokong nodded, then revealed a bitter smile as he said, "Dealing with the Soul Palace... that's impossible. I can't even dare to think about it. As long as we can find the headquarters of the Soul Palace and strike once, causing them to lose some strength, that would be enough."
"Father, how much time do you have left?"
"Three years. After three years, I must leave. In the Soul World, there exists a Guide Messenger. As soon as someone reaches the Soul Realm Peak, he will appear and reveal everything."
Following that, Ji Pokong recounted everything he knew about the Soul World. Even though Ji Mei had a strong capacity for understanding, she couldn't help but feel dazed.
After a while of calming down, Ji Mei came to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Father, were you suggesting that I do that thing?"
"That's right. You will go to the Central Domain and stay with Wei Chen in the Blackwater Territory, preparing to confront the Sea Tribe."
Hearing this, Ji Mei was shocked and exclaimed, "Is our Sea Tribe Army going to attack Blackwater Territory?"
"Yes. The plan between Thunderstorm and me is just that—sacrificing Blackwater Sect to lure out the Soul Palace. After we leave, we must at least give the Soul World twenty to thirty years of development time. By then, with new Peak Soul Realm Experts emerging, we won't have anything to fear."
"Father, what can I do?"
"We'll see how the battle unfolds. If the Sea Tribe encounters difficulties, you should assist them from within and without. If the Sea Tribe's attack goes smoothly, then help Wei Chen; follow his lead in whatever he decides to do. What we want is simply to lure out the Soul Palace and surround and eliminate it," Ji Pokong explained the plan to Ji Mei.
Ji Mei completely calmed down and pondered for a long time before saying, "Father, what if the Soul Palace doesn't come out?"
"They will definitely come out. In the best-case scenario, they will directly seek my cooperation. They must want to team up with me against the strong ones from the Central Domain, after all, the influence of the Soul Palace is primarily in the Sixth Land, which has little to do with us from the Sea Tribe. The possibility of them seeking my collaboration is about fifty percent. In another scenario, they might not dare to approach me, but during the battle between the Sea Tribe and the human race in the Blackwater Territory, there will surely be a lot of Divine Soul Power. The Soul Palace will come out to absorb that Divine Soul Power, and we can follow the trail to find their headquarters," Ji Pokong explained.
Ji Mei said, "Father, you haven't considered that an inexplicable war could bring great suffering. Whether it’s the Sea Tribe or the human race, there will be countless casualties... If that happens, all the bloodshed will fall on your shoulders, which would be extremely detrimental to your future cultivation. I will go to that world to help you; I don’t want to find that my once-proud father has stagnated in strength when I arrive there!"
Hearing Ji Mei's words, Ji Pokong laughed heartily and said, "Mei'er, don’t worry. Those things are just tricks; in reality, there’s nothing to fear. Once I reach that other world, I will definitely become a strong one as well. Your father will carve out a vast territory. If you truly can go to that world, what I provide for you will still be the best cultivation resources—treatment fit for a princess!"
Ji Mei forced a smile and shook her head. "Father, can you take me with you?"
"Alas, there’s no way unless we find some kind of spatial soul artifact that can carry people over. Otherwise, we simply cannot pass through the Guide Messenger's barrier. Once you get past the Guide Messenger, you cannot bring anyone along."
Ji Mei felt a surge of joy in her heart and said, "Father, rest assured, I will soon go to that world to find you."
"Hehe, are you so confident?"
"Of course," Ji Mei replied proudly.
She thought about the stone in Wei Chen's possession; wasn’t it a powerful spatial soul artifact? As long as she found the right method to enter that stone, she could follow Wei Chen into the so-called Soul World.
Perhaps that time wouldn’t be too far off; she might even make it in time for the three-year agreement and go to the Soul World with Ji Pokong and Thunderstorm.
All because Wei Chen was the Demon Lotus Successor; everything was possible.
"Mei'er, no matter how you manage it, your father thinks that Wei Chen is quite impressive and has limitless potential. Holding onto him tightly will not bring you any harm."
"Father, you're teasing me again..."
"Where's the mockery? Father is serious when he tells you that Gu Yuehong is incredibly powerful and willingly follows Wei Chen as a subordinate. Just imagine Wei Chen's identity; it must be terrifying. I even suspect he might not be from this world but rather descended from one of those High-Level Planes."
Ji Mei secretly found it amusing. In fact, Ji Pokong's guess was entirely correct! It was Wei Chen's identity as the Demon Lotus Successor that made Gu Yuehong submit to him, willingly acting as his enforcer. If it were anyone else, no matter how strong, Gu Yuehong's pride as a dragon would never allow him to bow down.
The next day, three Warships floated above Penglai Island, and the Human Race Experts set off to return to the Central Domain. Wei Chen, Ji Mei, and Gu Yuehong boarded a Warship, naturally attracting countless gazes. However, Ji Mei had disguised herself and wore a Veil, making it impossible to recognize her as the Sea Princess.
It was also inappropriate for the Sea Princess to inexplicably go to the Central Domain, so Ji Mei chose to keep her identity hidden.
Wei Chen remained extremely low-key, not speaking to anyone. He entered a room, closed the door, and stayed with Ji Mei. Gu Yuehong preferred solitude and took another room.
The journey to the Central Domain would take half a month at the speed of the Warship. During this time, Wei Chen and Ji Mei practiced their cultivation. Ji Mei behaved unusually; she didn't even attempt to seduce Wei Chen, which made him feel somewhat puzzled.
As for why Ji Mei was going to the Central Domain, Wei Chen didn't ask further. Having such a noble beauty accompany him was certainly a pleasant experience.
Half a month later, the Warship reached the territory of the Central Domain, with their first stop being Blackwater Territory.
Wei Chen and Ji Mei, along with Gu Yuehong, discreetly left the Warship and stepped onto the land of Blackwater Territory. Wei Chen felt his spirit lift as he laughed aloud, "Finally! After all this stumbling around, we’ve finally arrived at Blackwater Territory!"
"Are you regretting it? If you had chosen to follow Han Che and them on their Warship to Blackwater Territory back then, you’d probably still be a pathetic Spirit Wisdom Realm expert now, unable even to reach Surge Realm," Ji Mei taunted.
Hearing Ji Mei's mockery, Wei Chen chuckled and replied, "That's true. If I had gone with them, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet so many powerful people or visit Penglai Secret Realm. I wouldn't have acquired so many Soul Jades or received support from Thunderstorm. When Peach Blossom Sect opens successfully, Thunderstorm will come personally; just by relying on Thunderstorm's reputation alone, Peach Blossom Sect will be able to establish itself firmly in Blackwater Territory."
Ji Mei looked at Wei Chen with complex emotions. She wanted to tell him that Blackwater Territory was about to face disaster and that establishing a foothold there would ultimately be meaningless. However, she couldn't bear to disturb Wei Chen's good mood; that matter could wait for another time.
Gu Yuehong looked at Wei Chen with disdain and said, "Demon Lotus Successor, don't you think your greatest fortune is encountering me?"
Uh...
Wei Chen thought about it and realized that having the Divine Dragon as a bodyguard meant he could do whatever he wanted without consequence.
It is worth mentioning that due to Wei Chen's poor performance, Gu Yuehong had changed how she referred to him; he was no longer called the Demon Lotus Emperor, but rather the Demon Lotus Successor...
Currently, Wei Chen was not worthy of being called the Demon Lotus Emperor; he had completely lost that title.
"I wonder where Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign are. Have Mu Yang and Musa improved their cultivation? Are Mu Qingyan, Sister Wei Rou, and Snow Cicada still bickering often?"
"This is a big problem. Ji Mei came with me; how am I supposed to explain her situation to them?"
"Three women make for a chaotic scene, but what will happen when four women gather together?"
Despite his worries, Wei Chen was filled with anticipation for a beautiful new life.
A serious question also lay before Wei Chen.
Where were Han Mang and the others?
