Donghua looked at Wei Chen and said, "I can sense this crisis as well. The enemy is formidable; even I feel a hint of danger, which is enough to prove their strength."
"Master, are you saying that even you are not their match?" Wei Chen asked in astonishment. In his eyes, Donghua was like a celestial being; how could anything pose a challenge to him? But this time, things were clearly different.
Donghua smiled lightly and replied, "My strength is not at its peak. When I am at my full power, I could easily split this low-level realm in half with just one sword strike. I can feel the strength of the approaching enemies; they are likely not from this world. Their power system is different from ours; perhaps they are beings from the Upper Realm, high-level beings. To me, that so-called High-Level Plane is no different from trash."
"My strength is evenly matched with theirs, but you should understand my point: they are not just one person; there should be two of them. I can handle one, but the other is beyond my ability to hold off. At that point, it will depend on your own capabilities. That Gu Yuehong, the Fire Dragon, has decent strength, but I feel he won't be able to hold off the invading enemies either."
"What should we do?" Wei Chen panicked. His greatest reliance was on Donghua and Gu Yuehong, and now Donghua had made it clear that he could only hold off one while Gu Yuehong couldn't withstand the other. Wasn't that a recipe for disaster?
"There's nothing to be done; just stay calm," Donghua said with a carefree smile. Wei Chen felt exasperated and quickly replied, "Master, this is urgent! How can you still joke around?"
"No matter what situation you encounter, remember that maintaining a calm heart is very important. A tranquil mind allows you to avoid mistakes when facing crises. Often, not making mistakes is already a victory," Donghua said calmly.
Although Wei Chen understood Donghua's words well enough, facing a powerful enemy that could wipe them out in an instant made it impossible for him to remain calm. Donghua could be composed because he had experienced so much and was incredibly strong. What right did he have to be calm?
Wei Chen reflected on his own abilities; he was far weaker than Gu Yuehong. If Donghua openly stated that even Gu Yuehong couldn't match the invading enemies, what could he do? He couldn't even defend himself.
"Wei Chen, there are now two choices before you; it's up to you how to choose. I have no preference," Donghua continued in his indifferent tone.
Wei Chen hurriedly asked, "What are the two choices?"
"First, we hide somewhere where the invading enemies cannot find us and avoid confrontation altogether. During our time in hiding, we can focus on our cultivation. Once we become stronger and emerge again, dealing with those two will be much easier. My strength is constantly improving; however, I am not cultivating the low-level Soul Power of Soul World but rather the spatial power of the higher realm above it known as Yuan Power. The Yuan Power in Soul World is extremely thin—so thin that ordinary people cannot sense it or cultivate with it—but I am different; I have already cultivated the power system of the Nine Immortal Realm and can extract Yuan Power from the thin air around me. My strength continues to rise. For now, I can only handle one of those two enemies, but it won't take long—about a year—and I will be able to eliminate them effortlessly." After finishing his words, Donghua fixed his gaze on Wei Chen, wanting to see if he was tempted by this suggestion.
However, he saw nothing on Wei Chen's face.
"This kid is quite deep in hiding his thoughts; but that's normal—if the Demon Lotus Emperor's heir were too transparent about everything inside him, that would be rather foolish."
Thinking this over, Donghua continued: "The second choice is to face them head-on with determination. I will deal with one person while you hold off the other. Once I have defeated my opponent, I will come to assist you in taking down yours. Losing two of their members at once would likely deter those from the Upper Realm from sending more people for a while. Transporting people between realms is extremely difficult and requires significant energy expenditure. Once we win this battle, we will gain a long period of stability before we leave Soul World and head directly to Upper Realm to confront those beings without them diverting their attention back down here."
Hearing this, Wei Chen fell into deep thought.
Two choices, each with its pros and cons, made it difficult to decide.
"Why do I always encounter such troublesome situations? Neither choice seems particularly good."
"If I hide, I would be ridiculed, and the golden opportunity for the Peach Blossom Sect would be wasted. Moreover, searching for Zhao Yu would become a distant hope."
"If I choose to fight, can we really hold off those two with our strength? Donghua Master is simple-minded; what he doesn't realize is that since the Soul Palace has sought help from the Upper Realm, many experts from the Soul Palace will also come. How could we possibly hold them off?"
"Both choices have their limitations, but I must make this difficult decision."
Wei Chen's face showed signs of struggle and conflict. After a long while, he nodded heavily at Donghua and said, "Master, since you presented the second option, you must hope that I choose it, right? You must have some strategy in mind; otherwise, you wouldn't have suggested it. Am I wrong?"
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Donghua showed a look of admiration and smiled, "You are truly clever. Yes, I do hope you choose the second option. A man of honor knows when to act and when not to act; in times like this, how can one retreat? The Seven Wounds Sword I taught you can only gradually develop its power in adversity."
"I understand. Therefore, my choice is the second one. With you here, what do I have to fear? Hehe, Master, can you now tell me what you plan for me to do? If Gu Yuehong's fellow lacks strength, then my power will be ineffective. But from your words, it seems you have some confidence."
"If it weren't for your elders and the Literary Duel with Daxing Gate, I would truly be at a loss. However, because of that Literary Duel, I do have some means to grant you some power. That kind of power would be supreme in the Nine Immortal Realm. Honestly, I never dreamed that something so valuable would inexplicably appear in this lowly realm. Perhaps it's fate's blessing for you and me. Many things are destined by fate. Strive to pursue them; if luck comes your way, it might just arrive."
Donghua's expression was filled with longing and seemed quite mysterious.
Wei Chen's heart was as clear as a mirror as he squinted at Donghua and asked, "Master, is it that seal you risked your face to obtain?"
"Exactly!"
Donghua replied seriously, "That seal would attract the competition of ancient beings who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years even if it appeared in the Nine Immortal Realm. In the entire Nine Immortal Realm, only two items can be compared to that seal."
"What are those items?"
"One of the Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts: Reprint!"
The seal appeared in Donghua's hand.
"Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts? What is that?" Wei Chen asked in astonishment.
He carefully observed the seal in Donghua's hand. It looked like an ordinary object, nothing resembling a treasure. The seal was about the size of a walnut, and it seemed to be made of jade, though it wasn't particularly beautiful; the jade appeared to be of poor quality, dull and lackluster.
Yet, despite its unassuming appearance, it had compelled Donghua to risk his face to seize it, which was enough to prove that it was indeed a treasure. It was just that ordinary people couldn't recognize its value, and Wei Chen naturally couldn't see it either.
"The Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts are the strongest powers in Huaxia and the Nine Immortal Realm. As long as one possesses an Ancient Ten Divine Artifact, they can dominate either the Hua Xia World or the Nine Immortal Realm. To my knowledge, there are only two Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts in the Nine Immortal Realm, held by the Western Buddha and the Jade Emperor. The miraculous item in the hands of the Western Buddha is the Nuwa Stone, while the one held by the Jade Emperor is the Xuanyuan Sword. It is because of these two items that they stand as two of the greatest powers in the Nine Immortal Realm."
"And this seal is also one of the Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts, known as Reprint. Its power is boundless. If used well, once we return to the Nine Immortal Realm, with Reprint, you could become a third major force alongside the Jade Emperor and Western Buddha. Just imagine how precious this seal is. Not only did I risk my face to seize it, but I would also kill without hesitation for this treasure," Donghua said, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes. He was not someone known for mercy; during his time in the Nine Immortal Realm, he had earned a notorious reputation as the Killing God Sword Immortal.
"Master, since it's supposedly one of the Ancient Ten Divine Artifacts, it must be difficult to control, right? Can you control it now?" Wei Chen asked curiously.
"I cannot control it at all," Donghua replied with a helpless shake of his head. "If I were in the Nine Immortal Realm, I might have some methods, but right now, I have no means whatsoever. Controlling this thing requires far too much; this low-level realm simply cannot accommodate it."
"Then isn't that pointless?"
"How could it be pointless? Since I've brought it out, there must be a way to use it; otherwise, wouldn't everything I've said be nonsense?" Donghua shot Wei Chen a fierce look and handed him the seal. "This Reprint is yours from now on. Remember, this will be your strongest support when you return to Hua Xia World and Nine Immortal Realm. Without this item, no matter how impressive you are in Hua Xia World, if someone from Nine Immortal Realm takes a disliking to you, many can kill you."
Wei Chen hurriedly grasped Reprint carefully in his hands and smiled ingratiatingly. "Thank you, Master! But this thing has no response at all; if you can't control it, how am I supposed to use it?"
