Upon hearing that Wei Chen had arrived in Daxing City, Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan immediately became excited. It had been a year since they parted ways while aboard the Warship in the Eastern Region, and their longing for Wei Chen ran deep.
The three women’s faces flushed with excitement as they exchanged glances, understanding unspoken feelings reflected in each other's eyes. After such a long time, the dynamics between Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan had become somewhat complex.
Initially, Weirou and Mu Qingyan had openly competed with each other, both feeling jealous. Only Snow Cicada, aware of her own limitations in strength and status, remained quiet and observant. However, as time passed, the rivalry between Weirou and Mu Qingyan had diminished significantly.
Finally getting the chance to see Wei Chen again left no room for any thoughts of competition.
“Brother, how should we approach the duel with Daxing Gate?” Han Che asked Han Mang.
At this question, everyone tensed up, temporarily setting aside thoughts of Wei Chen as they turned their attention to Han Mang. They all understood that the duel was crucial; the future of Peach Blossom Sect in the Chaos Realm depended on it.
Now that they had arrived in the Central Domain of the Chaos Realm, everyone—from the three old men of Peach Blossom Island to the Mu Family members and even Weirou and Snow Cicada—was united in purpose. The establishment of Peach Blossom Sect was imperative, but choosing a location had been a perplexing issue. Han Mang did not want to offend Blackwater Sect too much, so they could only operate within the Chaos Realm. Unfortunately, the other four forces there were exceedingly malevolent and would not allow their establishment. Only Daxing Gate offered a glimmer of hope.
Facing the eager gazes around him, Han Mang smiled and said, “Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing. We’ve come all this way to Chaos Realm; we can’t let others take advantage of us. Daxing Gate wants us to serve as their guest elders? That plan will surely fail.”
Han Che replied, “Brother, don’t be overly optimistic. The strongest among Daxing Gate is at Peak of Earth Soul Realm—someone who is half a step into Soul Realm. The Eighth-Rank Sects here in Central Domain are no joke. Based on the strength of three experts alone, many Eighth-Rank Forces can actually be considered Nine-Rank Sects. If we were to establish ourselves as a Nine-Rank Sect directly, we would become targets for everyone. Daxing Gate has more than three Earth Soul Realm experts; they are indeed a Nine-Rank Sect in disguise. The intricacies involved are something we may not fully grasp since we just arrived in Central Domain.”
Han Mang pondered for a moment before nodding. “That is indeed a concern; establishing a Nine-Rank Sect is not an easy task. Perhaps we should wait and see; our strength might be better suited for establishing an Eighth-Rank Sect.”
“Let’s wait for Wei Chen to arrive. He caused quite a stir in Maguan City by single-handedly taking down an Eighth-Rank Sect. If he wants to establish a Nine-Rank Sect directly, then let him decide,” Pharmaceutical Sovereign said with a calm smile.
Mentioning Wei Chen’s exploits in Maguan City excited both Han Mang and Han Che; they could hardly believe that Wei Chen had managed to eliminate an Eighth-Rank Sect on his own. With this achievement before even establishing Peach Blossom Sect, their reputation was already gaining traction.
Snow Cicada, Weirou, and Mu Qingyan also smiled brightly at this news; nothing could make them happier than knowing their beloved man had achieved such remarkable success.
Wei Chen returned to the inn and shared the results of his reconnaissance at Daxing Gate with Donghua, Ji Mei, Ni Junlin, and Gu Yuehong. Gu Yuehong was typically indifferent to such matters; Ni Junlin showed little interest as well. Donghua seemed unchanged since his rebirth—nothing appeared capable of altering his demeanor anymore.
Donghua remained extremely composed regarding anything related to Wei Chen; he cared deeply but never showed it outwardly, appearing detached as if it were none of his business.
Thus far, only Ji Mei expressed genuine concern about Wei Chen’s situation.
“Did your elders challenge Daxing Gate?” Ji Mei asked with a frown as she looked at Wei Chen. After receiving confirmation, she pondered for a moment before continuing, “Wei Chen, do you know just how strong Daxing Gate really is?”
“I don’t know; weren’t you unfamiliar with Daxing Gate? Did you find out something?” Wei Chen countered Ji Mei’s inquiry.
Ji Mei nodded and replied, “After you left, I also departed from the inn and sought out our Sea Tribe's representative in Chaos Realm's Daxing City to gather information.”
"Is your Sea Tribe really that strong? Even in a place like the Chaos Realm, you have spies?"
"Of course. Our Sea Tribe doesn't seem much different from your human race. However, we can move freely on human territory without being recognized, while humans cannot roam freely on Sea Tribe territory since they can't breathe underwater. Because of this, our Sea Tribe has access to information; any slight disturbance on human land cannot escape our eyes," Ji Mei said proudly, looking at Wei Chen as if claiming credit.
Wei Chen shrugged in disbelief. "Alright, your Sea Tribe is impressive. What news have you received from your subordinates?"
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Ji Mei's expression turned serious as she fixed her gaze on him. "The Daxing Gate is very powerful. They have three Earth Soul Realm Experts, which is enough to qualify as a Nine-Rank Sect. In the Central Domain, many Eighth-Rank Forces have enough Earth Soul Realm Experts to be considered Nine-Rank Sects. However, they do not dare to claim that title recklessly; a small mistake could lead them to ruin."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "That's because every Eighth-Rank Sect is under the pressure of a Nine-Rank Sect. No matter how declining a Nine-Rank Sect may be, those Eighth-Rank Sects would not stand a chance against them. This is why those Eighth-Rank Sects do not dare to become Nine-Rank Sects."
"The Daxing Gate is indeed strong. They have three Earth Soul Realm Experts, and the most formidable among them is referred to as an ancestor by the people of Daxing Gate; he is a Peak Soul Realm Expert who has initially condensed his soul. Below that ancestor is the gate master, Chu Liuxiang, who is a six-fold Earth Soul Realm Expert. The Grand Elder of Daxing Gate is a three-fold Earth Soul Realm Expert."
Ji Mei looked at Wei Chen with concern and asked lightly, "Do you think your elders can match them?"
"No," Wei Chen shook his head decisively, thinking to himself: "Damn it, the Daxing Gate's power is so strong! Old Man Han Mang and the others are only at Earth Soul Realm Level Four, Level Three, and Level Two respectively; how could they possibly compete with the experts of Daxing Gate? If I hadn't come here, would they really become guest elders of Daxing Gate? What about establishing the Peach Blossom Sect? This is ridiculous!"
Wei Chen lamented internally while his face was filled with pride. No matter what happened now that he was here, Han Mang and the others could play however they wanted; after all, he was in an invincible position. Gu Yuehong's strength was not to be underestimated, and Ni Junlin was also formidable; winning two out of three matches would already be considered a victory.
"Old Man Han Mang is not an impulsive person; he must understand the strength of Daxing Gate well. Since he has made this decision, he must have his own thoughts on it. Perhaps he has some tricks up his sleeve; we will find out when the time comes."
Wei Chen silently resolved himself, waiting for three days to see how things would unfold.
...
After several months of hard training, Wei Chen's strength reached the second level of Human Soul Realm. In terms of Soul Power Realm, he wasn't particularly strong; however, regarding Martial Soul, his was exceptionally powerful. Aside from the initial Thunder Soul and Brahma Flower Soul—which could still be considered ordinary—his other Martial Souls were incredibly fierce. With those Martial Souls, he was already in an invincible position against ordinary Eighth Rank Soul Realm Experts.
"I'm at the second level of Human Soul Realm... The Soul Technique I obtained at the peak of Sword Mountain was decent before, but now it seems somewhat ordinary. What I want are Sword Techniques, but there are no suitable ones for me to cultivate right now; it's truly frustrating!"
"Old Man Han Mang gave me nothing but formations; those are fine to look at but don't require cultivation. Gu Yuehong and Ni Junlin both suffered in their previous lives due to formations—the Demon Lotus Emperor's true shortcoming lay there—while my understanding of formations in this life is at an exceptional level. Those formations aren't too difficult even if they're Ninth-Rank High-Level Formations. For me now, finding a high-grade Sword Technique to cultivate is the way forward."
Wei Chen felt the surging Soul Power within him and felt slightly bitter. High-grade Sword Techniques seemed easy to come by but where could he find them? He certainly wouldn't settle for Eighth Rank Sword Techniques; only Nine-Tier Sword Techniques would catch his eye. In fact, if there were Tenth Rank Sword Techniques available, that would be even better.
Just as Wei Chen was deep in thought about this dilemma, Donghua arrived at his room.
As soon as Wei Chen saw Donghua, a look of respect appeared on his face as he bowed slightly and said, "Master, did you call for me?"
In this world, there was only one person whom Wei Chen sincerely addressed as Master: Donghua.
“Why do you have to be so polite with me, Wei Chenzi?” Donghua said with a faint smile. “From now on, just call me by my name. When you call me Master, it feels strange, after all, I haven’t taught you anything. Everything you’ve achieved is the result of your own hard work; it has little to do with me.”
“Master, how can that be?”
“What’s wrong with that? Just call me by my name; it makes me feel more comfortable. Honestly, your strength is too great now. If you still call me Master, it puts a lot of pressure on me,” Donghua chuckled.
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”
“Let’s go; come with me for a bit. My rebirth isn’t as simple as you might think.”
Donghua led the way out of the inn, looking mysterious. Wei Chen had no idea what Donghua was planning and could only follow closely behind.
They exited Daxing City and ventured into a dense forest outside the city, where Donghua finally stopped, gazing deeply at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen felt uneasy under Donghua's intense stare and forced a smile.
“Wei Chen, when we were at Cloud Spirit Sect, I knew you were truly exceptional among people, but I never expected you to reach your current level. The Human Soul Realm is something I wouldn’t have dared to imagine before.”
Wei Chen remained silent, patiently waiting for Donghua to continue.
Donghua looked at Wei Chen thoughtfully for a moment, his eyes flickering with contemplation. Suddenly, he raised his voice an octave, deep and profound, saying, “But I gradually began to remember some things. Those memories tell me that the so-called Human Soul Realm is nothing at all! The strongest in this world, the Soul Realm Peak, are also insignificant.”
