As Donghua faded away, Gu Yuehong realized that his entire body was drenched in sweat.
Sweat dripped down his forehead and cheeks.
The pressure exerted by Donghua was simply overwhelming.
No one could predict which direction this game would take.
Gu Yuehong had begun to sense something vaguely, and the thought of that possibility made him break out in a cold sweat once more.
"Paralyze, I never expected that the seemingly righteous immortal Donghua would turn out to be a master schemer! If I want to compete with him, I'm still far from ready!"
"Wei Chen, oh Wei Chen, don't blame me for not helping you. In this matter, we are all mere pawns in his game. How can I assist you?"
"All I can do is to do my utmost to help you improve your strength so that you can escape the board sooner and not be controlled by that schemer."
"Sigh..."
Gu Yuehong let out a deep sigh, putting an end to all his thoughts. He silently committed Donghua's words to memory and had no intention of seeking anything from Wei Chen.
Once he did, perhaps his own life would be at stake.
Gu Yuehong understood this clearly; if Donghua wanted to kill him, a single sword strike would be enough.
"According to Wei Chen's theory, the most powerful organization in this world, Soul Palace, is about to send someone to kill him. All members of Peach Blossom Sect will suffer as a result. Soul Palace has sought assistance from the Upper Realm, and those who come are quite formidable. However, the Upper Realm of Soul World is considered a lower tier; those who come will not be Supreme Beings from that world. How could Donghua's strength possibly fall short against them?"
"Given this situation, it seems Donghua is deliberately trying to put pressure on Wei Chen while also giving him something as valuable as Reprint. What kind of trickery lies behind this?"
After a conversation with Donghua, Gu Yuehong completely lost trust in him.
All thoughts began to lean towards conspiracy theories.
"Forget it, as they say, when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will cover it. When the chessboard is overturned, everything will be clear. For now, being able to keep myself safe is already quite good."
...
Inside Cang Mountain, Wei Chen was almost engulfed by despair.
This despair was not due to the overwhelming number of beasts posing a danger, but rather a deep sense of hopelessness from within.
Countless thoughts from the beasts, their feelings of despair flooded into Wei Chen's mind, bringing an unimaginable amount of negative emotions.
Wei Chen felt as if his mind was filled with endless garbage, making him feel utterly miserable, his thoughts nearly stagnant. He mechanically repeated the release actions of the Soul Control Technique, one beast after another became a Sacrifice under its influence.
However, using the Soul Control Technique took a tremendous toll on his Mental Strength.
On one hand, his Mental Strength was rapidly depleting; on the other hand, the influx of negative emotions blurred his consciousness. The only reason he could persist in continuing to release the Soul Control Technique and control the beasts was due to a tenacious belief driving him forward.
This was Wei Chen. On ordinary days, he appeared carefree and seemed to lack strong willpower. Yet at critical moments, his performance rivaled that of seasoned veterans.
One beast after another knelt before him in submission, establishing a mysterious connection between them. Although the sensation was incredibly uncomfortable, Wei Chen could still find joy within it.
That joy became his motivation to persevere.
Everyone has their physical limits, and everyone also has their own limits of Mental Strength.
However, this time, Wei Chen seemed to have shattered the limits of his abilities; his Mental Strength had no bounds!
Time and again, he came close to collapsing, yet each time he stubbornly rose again to continue fighting, using the Soul Control Technique to battle against the negative emotions of those beasts.
Wei Chen's expression was one of pain and struggle, his entire body soaked in sweat. Countless Divine Soul Powers from the beasts were skillfully controlled within his mind. Once he completed this task, he would command those beasts to guard various locations around Cang Mountain, forming the first line of defense for Cang Mountain.
"Even if I die here from exhaustion, I will persevere! What is this little difficulty compared to my resolve?"
"Gu Yuehong just walked away, leaving me with this mess. I refuse to believe that I can be defeated by these low-level beasts relying solely on my own strength!"
"The Soul Control Technique is so marvelous and effective; I absolutely cannot fall now. If I do, this breakthrough will be in vain."
Wei Chen felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, a breakthrough far more challenging than that of the Soul Power Realm.
When one reaches a certain level of cultivation, everyone deliberately seeks to enhance their Mental Strength. However, refining Mental Strength is extremely difficult; even powerful figures like Thunderstorm and Ji Pokong find it no easy task.
Wei Chen's Mental Strength benefited from the inheritance of the Demon Lotus, making it inherently stronger than that of the top experts in Soul World. The top experts in Soul World are merely at the Soul Realm Peak level, with only Thunderstorm and Ji Pokong publicly recognized as having reached the Soul Power Realm.
Yet combined, Thunderstorm and Ji Pokong's Mental Strength does not even amount to one-tenth of Wei Chen's. This illustrates just how significant and formidable the Demon Lotus Inheritance truly is.
Time after time, as he employed the Soul Control Technique, exhausting his Mental Strength, the Demon Lotus within his soul would quietly release some Mental Strength at critical moments to help him endure. This assistance occurred under very secretive circumstances; Wei Chen was unaware of it.
If he had known, perhaps he would have already given up.
Now, driven by sheer determination, he believed that all his perseverance was solely due to his own efforts. The moment he entertained the thought that it was the Demon Lotus helping him endure, all his efforts might have been rendered futile.
Similarly, without Wei Chen's persistence, the Demon Lotus would not have released any Mental Strength for him. It was precisely because of Wei Chen's determination that the Demon Lotus could extract pure and refined Mental Strength to compensate for Wei Chen's shortcomings.
The breakthrough of Mental Strength was particularly rare. Wei Chen sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough; if he could endure this moment, his Mental Strength would rise to a new level.
He even felt that such powerful Mental Strength could be used to kill!
With just a glance, one could take a life. Perhaps at a certain level, when Mental Strength reached its peak, this could indeed happen.
"Paralyze it! You must hold on; you're almost there, just a little bit more!"
Wei Chen's heart screamed in agony. The Soul Control Technique continued unabated, and the release and replenishment of his Mental Strength persisted. He saw hope and knew he wouldn't stop until he succeeded.
"Gu Yuehong isn't helping me; perhaps his goal is to force me to accomplish everything on my own?"
"Only by completing everything independently can I become a true powerhouse! In terms of Mental Strength, I might even surpass the Donghua Master!"
"There’s nothing in this world that cannot be achieved with determination; I will not accept failure!"
Wei Chen roared, unleashing the oppressive power of the Demon Lotus. Under that pressure, countless beasts rushed toward him, all prostrating themselves before him, willingly offering a fragment of their souls.
"Soul Control Technique! Control!"
Streams of Divine Soul Power surged into Wei Chen's soul, causing his Spirit to become increasingly chaotic.
But he had already touched the critical point; there was no reason for him to give up this rare opportunity for a breakthrough!
"This kid is truly tenacious! Ah, he reminds me a bit of my younger self! However, he's from Donghua, which complicates matters. That person from Donghua knows how to win hearts; this kid has already formed preconceived notions. No matter what I say to him, he probably won't believe me. Well, no matter what, he is my successor; I can't just stand by and watch him fail!"
"Kid, without my help, even if you spend your entire life here refining your Mental Strength with the Soul Control Technique, you won't make any progress!"
Within Wei Chen's soul, the Demon Lotus began to spin slowly. He could neither see nor feel it, but a figure radiating a chilling aura appeared within his soul. If this figure were seen in the Hua Xia World, it would surely send shivers down anyone's spine.
That person was none other than the Demon Alliance Lord of the Hua Xia World, the Demon Lotus Emperor!
"Fellow, we are fated to meet. Your Formation Assignment is quite to my liking. So, why not help you once more? My only fear is that all my efforts will ultimately be seized by Donghua, leaving me with nothing but a wasted endeavor."
The Demon Lotus Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, pressing his palms together. A dark power began to emanate from his palms, coalescing into a sphere.
This sphere of power was none other than the most crucial force within a human body—Mental Strength!
Once that power appeared, it attracted Wei Chen's own Mental Strength from within his soul, drawing it into the sphere. Wei Chen quickly found himself unable to hold on; his Mental Strength was being drained completely. How could he continue like this?
The Divine Soul Power of the beast that had already invaded his body was no longer under the control of the Soul Control Technique and began to wreak havoc within Wei Chen's soul. His soul was on the verge of being overturned by that Divine Soul Power!
Fortunately, Wei Chen's mind was steadfast enough. He soon realized something was amiss—how could his Mental Strength have inexplicably vanished entirely?
At this critical moment, Wei Chen displayed an unflappable demeanor. He firmly held onto his soul, preventing the chaotic Divine Soul Power from completely breaching it and ensuring that he would not lose himself. He then activated his Martial Soul within, channeling all its strength into his soul to fortify it.
With this approach, when he regained consciousness later and restored some of his Mental Strength, he would be able to use the Soul Control Technique once again to control those beasts' Divine Soul Power.
Observing all of this, the Demon Lotus Emperor marveled, "This child is quite clever. Truly a promising seed! No way can I allow such a good seedling to perish at Donghua's hands. Whether he believes it or not, I must remind him!"
