The woman, dressed in a colorful gauze skirt, had an exceptionally beautiful face, adorned with a hint of disdain as she looked at Wei Chen.
Who else could it be but Ni Junlin?
"Wei Chen, you finally found a way. I thought I would have to be a jade stone for the rest of my life."
Ni Junlin had ample reason to look down on Wei Chen. She had turned into a jade stone but had not lost her consciousness; she was fully aware of everything happening around Wei Chen. Yet, Wei Chen, oblivious as ever, believed Ni Junlin was dead and had mourned her for several days.
"How could you not understand something so simple? I thought you would soon infuse me with Soul Power so I could recover quickly. I didn't expect it to take you this long to bring me back. I've been aware of almost everything that has happened to you during this time. Are your words from earlier still valid?" Ni Junlin smiled brightly at Wei Chen, her eyes sparkling and captivating.
Wei Chen asked, "What did I say earlier?"
"You... will marry me after some time..."
Uh...
Wei Chen awkwardly chuckled, unsure of how to respond.
Gu Yuehong, sensing the atmosphere, discreetly left to give space to Wei Chen and Ni Junlin. He understood well that Ni Junlin's feelings for the Demon Lotus Emperor were deeply rooted and rare in this lifetime.
They were both from the Hua Xia World. Although Gu Yuehong didn't have a favorable impression of Ni Junlin, he hoped she could achieve a fulfilling ending since they had known each other in their previous lives.
After chatting about some trivial matters for a while, Wei Chen finally asked, "Ni Junlin, what is going on here? My identity, the Demon Lotus Emperor's schemes, and how you all came here—please clarify everything for me."
"Have you forgotten? You can only ask one question each time you advance to a new realm. By now, you can only ask two or three questions at most," Ni Junlin said with a glimmer in her beautiful eyes and a faint smile.
"Stop teasing me. At a time like this, hiding anything is not beneficial for either of us. I desperately want to know about the Demon Lotus Emperor and why you all ended up here."
Wei Chen's expression turned anxious. He wanted to know those things for deeper reasons; however, due to concerns about his face, there were certain topics he simply couldn't discuss with others.
Ni Junlin hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "If you want to know something, just ask. I will tell you everything."
"How did you come to the Soul World? All along the way, you have been helping me, and what about the Golden Dragon Maiden in the Stone Secret Realm? What’s going on there?"
"This is all part of a scheme. In your previous life, you predicted that you would ultimately fail because the greatest flaw of the Demon Alliance is its formation. The Demon Alliance has formidable offensive power, but it suffered greatly against the formations of the human race. If things continued this way, failure was inevitable. You began preparing in advance, sealing the Dragon Princess in the Stone Secret Realm and sending her to this world along with me. Once we arrived in this world, our strength dropped to its lowest point, and we could only cultivate step by step. My memories remained intact, while the Golden Dragon Princess did not have complete memories; hers awakened little by little because the Golden Dragon Clan was annihilated except for her. You were afraid she wouldn't be able to bear that kind of blow, so you sealed her memories."
"After arriving in the Soul World, we were all waiting for you, waiting for your reincarnation. Then it became simple; just as I was preparing to find you, you arrived at Sword Mountain, saving us a lot of trouble."
Hearing Ni Junlin's words, Wei Chen was not satisfied. He frowned and asked, "What about me? What am I now?"
"You are you; you are the Demon Lotus Emperor and also Wei Chen."
"But I don't have any memories of being the Demon Lotus Emperor."
"Those memories wouldn't benefit you much. When the time comes, they will merge with you, and only then will you truly awaken."
"What if I don’t want to awaken? I want to maintain my current mindset and don’t want anything forced into my head. I will inherit the will of the Demon Lotus Emperor and fulfill it step by step, but those memories are not mine; what’s the point of imposing them on me?"
Wei Chen felt increasingly restless at the thought of becoming another person.
"I can't help it; who knows what will happen then? Even the Demon Lotus Emperor from your previous life might not have been able to predict it. In fact, it was already an accident that the Demon Lotus reincarnated into your body."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know either, but I feel something strange about you. Just your rejection of the memories of the Demon Lotus Emperor already defies his expectations. In his view, a successor should hold him in utmost reverence and would not resist his memories at all. When those memories merge with yours, if you stubbornly resist, even the will of the Demon Lotus Emperor cannot fully take root within you. I even feel he might not be able to merge with you at all; his memories would likely come to you in another form."
Ni Junlin frowned slightly and added, "It's a very strange feeling; there’s an aura about you that makes me feel vaguely fearful. That aura is definitely not from the Demon Lotus Emperor. In other words, your bloodline power is likely stronger than that of the previous Demon Lotus Emperor."
"You will become the Demon Lotus Emperor, but as a different person—stronger and more authoritative."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen felt even more confused. What the hell? It was all the same; he still didn't understand anything.
"Forget it, I won't ask about this anymore. No matter how much I think about it, it's all the same. When soldiers come, I’ll fight; when water comes, I’ll block it. Overthinking these things is pointless."
Wei Chen muttered to himself, but deep down, he was cursing a thousand times. Some things were just incredibly frustrating.
He didn't mind whether his woman was a virgin or not, but the Demon Lotus Emperor was too powerful, always looming over him like a shadow that couldn't be shaken off. The woman in front of him and the Golden Dragon Maiden in the Stone Space were both women of the Demon Lotus Emperor...
That feeling was terrible—indescribable and unnameable.
In summary, it could be reduced to two words: suffocating!
Ni Junlin let out a slight sigh. She didn’t even know what she thought herself. This incarnation of the Demon Lotus Emperor was clearly not the same as the previous one—not just in appearance but also in personality and thoughts, which had completely changed.
Most importantly, Ni Junlin sensed that Wei Chen's bloodline power was incredibly strong—stronger than anyone in Hua Xia World, even stronger than the Golden Dragon!
That kind of bloodline seemed somewhat similar to that of top-tier beings from the Huaxia Immortal Realm.
But how could that be possible?
The Seven-Colored Devouring Python was an ancient ferocious beast, and very few people from Hua Xia World had encountered immortals. Yet Ni Junlin had; her birthplace was in the Huaxia Immortal Realm.
Because of that, she vaguely felt that something about Wei Chen's aura was off. Exactly what it was, she couldn't pinpoint.
Ni Junlin shook her head, trying to rid her mind of those absurd thoughts.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. With a serious expression, she looked at Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chen, I need to tell you something. Donghua is not dead."
"Not dead?"
Wei Chen instantly jumped up in surprise, eagerly asking, "What happened?"
"At that time, Donghua used his strongest attack, exhausting all his Soul Power and even burning his soul. It was as if he had died. However, I collected his soul and kept it in a piece of warm jade. Back then, I couldn't guarantee whether he could come back to life. Recently, I've noticed that his soul has completely reassembled. It just needs enough Soul Power to condense a body again for him to truly be reborn."
Ni Junlin took out a piece of soft jade and said, "This is it; Donghua's soul is inside."
Wei Chen cautiously took the soft jade, cradling it in his hands. He quickly asked, "How can we bring him back to life?"
Donghua was Wei Chen's mentor, and he had never forgotten him. Deep down, he held immense gratitude for Donghua. To Wei Chen, Donghua was both a teacher and a friend; he was the person Wei Chen respected the most in this world. No one else, not even someone as powerful as Thunderstorm, earned any respect from Wei Chen. Only for Donghua did he feel reverence.
In the Soul World, there were very few people with such integrity as Donghua. Wei Chen had yet to encounter anyone else like him.
"You need to find a strong individual willing to expend their Soul Power to help reshape his physical body. The newly formed body will be an absolute match for Soul Power, making future cultivation incredibly powerful. In fact, he won't even need to condense a Martial Soul because his body will be the embodiment of Soul Power itself; there’s no need for further condensation of a Martial Soul. That kind of body can quickly absorb Soul Power with just a thought. Once enough Soul Power accumulates and breaks through the meridians, he can advance."
"That strong?" Wei Chen exclaimed in shock.
"Very strong. If I didn't hold onto this hope, I wouldn't have collected his soul. Doing so depleted my own Destiny Soul Power and cost me this invaluable Soul Jade." Ni Junlin glanced deeply at Wei Chen and thought to himself: "This must count as making amends, right? Donghua possesses pure integrity; I've never seen anyone like him before. If I can revive him by expending my own Soul Power, I'm willing to do so."
"So how much Soul Power is needed to revive Donghua?"
"As long as it's similar to what you just infused into me, the amount of Soul Power isn't an issue. The hardest part is finding the Soul Gathering Spring; only there can we revive Donghua." Ni Junlin's eyes narrowed slightly as a look of difficulty crossed his face.
The Soul Gathering Spring was extremely rare and not something one could simply seek out at will.
Not a single clue. How can I find it?
Perhaps in some hidden valley, there flows a stream known as the Soul Gathering Spring. The Soul Gathering Spring is not particularly precious; ordinary people have no use for it. Its only function is to stabilize one's Spirit, something most people wouldn't need.
It is precisely because of this that very few know where to find the Soul Gathering Spring, making the search for it incredibly difficult.
"Soul Gathering Spring..." Wei Chen murmured the term, nodding as he said, "I must find the Soul Gathering Spring. You all get ready; we will set out soon."
"Set out soon?" Ni Junlin was speechless. What did he think the Soul Gathering Spring was? With no leads at all, how could they possibly find it? Was it just a matter of blind luck?
Wei Chen called for Ji Mei and introduced her to Ni Junlin. When the two women met, sparks inevitably flew, but Wei Chen couldn't concern himself with that. He instructed Gu Yue Hong Xin to ensure the two women didn't end up fighting and then left the lord's mansion alone.
He casually asked someone for directions and hurriedly made his way to Bai Xiaosheng's information division in Maguan City. Everyone recognized him, and there were no barriers to his entry. Under the guidance of an elder, he arrived at the backyard to meet Bai Xiaosheng.
"Wei Young Master, what brings you here?"
Having just returned from the lord's mansion not long ago, Bai Xiaosheng was somewhat puzzled by Wei Chen's urgent visit.
"Brother Bai, I have a request. If you can provide me with an answer, I am willing to do anything for you, as long as it does not go against my principles!"
