Demon Lotus Emperor quietly made a decision; once he had made up his mind, he would not hesitate in the slightest when it came to such a powerful figure.
His palms came together once more, and countless pure Divine Soul Powers began to emanate from within him, merging into the sphere in his hands. That sphere was filled with explosive energy, and its power was growing stronger by the moment.
Soon, that power reached its peak. The Demon Lotus Emperor suddenly released his hands, and a violent Mental Strength instantly enveloped Wei Chen's entire soul, forcefully suppressing the restless Spirit beasts that stirred within.
The raging Mental Strength swept through Wei Chen's soul. He felt it somewhat, though not intensely; it was as if he were experiencing an incredibly sweet dream.
Dazed, Wei Chen sensed the changes within his soul. The vast and surging aura of Mental Strength jolted him awake.
He sat up straight, forcing out the Demon Lotus aura from his body. In that instant, all the beasts on Cang Mountain seemed to freeze in time, slowly kneeling down as if in slow motion.
"Soul Control Technique!"
Wei Chen unleashed the Soul Control Technique, and in an instant, he controlled all the unrestrained beasts on Cang Mountain.
Even the entire Cang Mountain felt as if it were under his control. As he subdued all the beasts, a small part of the Sword Mountain Spirit within him unconsciously separated and merged into Cang Mountain. This was the fundamental reason he felt capable of controlling Cang Mountain.
Fortune turned in his favor; Wei Chen had achieved complete success.
After this transformation, Wei Chen's entire being—his appearance, demeanor, stability of Divine Soul Power, understanding of Soul Control Technique, and Mental Strength within his soul—had all ascended to a new level.
Especially his Mental Strength; it had become incredibly powerful. It felt as if he were an ancient giant beast—vast and timeless, majestic yet imposing.
This had been an extremely arduous battle, but Wei Chen persevered until the end. Fortunately, he emerged victorious.
This victory held immense value and would bring countless benefits to Wei Chen's future development.
"Did I succeed? Hehe, Gu Yuehong, weren't you watching me? Now I am the master of Cang Mountain! Even Cang Mountain must heed my command!"
"Gu Yuehong, oh Gu Yuehong, I understand your good intentions. I truly thank you this time; without you, how long would it have taken for my Mental Strength to become this formidable?"
"However, it seems that at the last moment, the Demon Lotus made its appearance again, helping me once more."
"The Donghua Master makes me feel uneasy about the Demon Lotus Emperor. After all, the Demon Lotus Emperor possesses countless divine abilities. If he were to forcibly seize control of my body, I would be powerless to resist."
"Never mind that for now. When the soldiers come, I will block them; when the water comes, I will dam it. I'll deal with the Demon Lotus Emperor when he truly appears. Besides, with the Donghua Master around, can the Demon Lotus Emperor really take control of my body? My Mental Strength has grown so strong; perhaps I no longer need to worry about the threat from the Demon Lotus Emperor."
Wei Chen wanted to strengthen his Mental Strength not to kill enemies with it or to rely on its power for refining and mastering Soul Techniques and formations, but rather to make everything smoother than before.
His ultimate goal was to guard against when the Demon Lotus Emperor might emerge to seize control of his body.
"Logically, the Demon Lotus Emperor shouldn't help me enhance my Mental Strength. Doing so would bring him no benefit; instead, it would increase the difficulty of him seizing control of my body."
"Could there be another reason behind this?"
Wei Chen pondered as he sat cross-legged on the ground, adopting a five-pointed posture, quietly absorbing the surrounding Soul Power. Divine Soul Power could almost be considered Mental Strength; compared to Soul Power, they were entirely different entities with significant distinctions.
Soul Power was energy derived from a cultivation method, while Mental Strength was an innate quality that rarely underwent training. Those with unwavering willpower possessed stronger Mental Strength, while those who were weak clearly had relatively weaker Mental Strength.
With enhanced Mental Strength came numerous benefits. Wei Chen felt delighted as he fervently attracted the surrounding Soul Power. His Soul Power Realm had unknowingly reached the third level of Human Soul Realm during recent cultivation. This time, as he practiced again with a calm mindset, his cultivation speed increased further. Coupled with the dense Soul Power around him, his Soul Power Realm surged to level four of Human Soul Realm. Even in the Central Domain, his strength could be considered formidable.
Of course, if compared among the younger generation of his peers, if he was second in strength, who would dare claim first?
Gradually, Wei Chen recovered—not only his Mental Strength but also his physical condition.
He was just about to leave Cang Mountain to find Han Mang and prepare for Establishment when a dark figure blocked his path as he stood up.
"You little brat! Taking advantage of me and thinking you can just walk away?" A teasing voice rang out as the black mist surrounding the figure slowly dissipated, revealing its true form.
Wei Chen squinted at the man before him. He could swear that this man was the most handsome he had ever seen in his life. Even though he appeared to be middle-aged, this man was still extraordinarily attractive—capable of captivating countless infatuated young women.
Even Wei Chen himself felt a sense of astonishment and a hint of unreality when he first laid eyes on the man before him.
He asked himself, even though he considered himself relatively handsome, the gap between him and this middle-aged beauty was simply too vast.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
An incredibly familiar feeling lingered in Wei Chen's heart, as if this person had been by his side for a very long time.
This sensation left Wei Chen somewhat startled.
A guess floated into Wei Chen's mind: could this person be the Demon Lotus Emperor from his soul? The unparalleled powerhouse who had cultivated into a lotus?
A sense of awe quietly rose within him, an uncontrollable reverence.
Instinctively, Wei Chen felt an impulse to kneel.
But he managed to suppress that urge and did not kneel.
The handsome man said, "Fellow, you really don’t know who I am? We’ve known each other for such a long time. I’ve helped you so much, and you are my successor. How can you not recognize me? Hey, it truly hurts my feelings."
The man's words clearly conveyed to Wei Chen: I am the Demon Lotus Emperor!
Hearing this, Wei Chen's heart sank. Paralyzed—this was bad; was he here to seize control of his body? Even if he died, his body still belonged to him; how could he possibly give it up?
A thousand curses raced through Wei Chen's mind as he glared at the Demon Lotus Emperor with fiery eyes and shouted, "You scheming fiend hiding inside me—so the Fox Tail has finally revealed itself!"
"Fellow, you've been poisoned by tea quite badly. I've always been helping you; what Fox Tail do I have to reveal?" the Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor replied with a faint smile.
"You’ve indeed been helping me, that’s true. But what’s your reason for helping me? Are you brave enough to admit it? Isn’t it just that you want to wait until I grow strong enough to seize control of my body and become the new Demon Lotus Emperor? I’ve seen through your schemes long ago, White Out!" Wei Chen shouted angrily.
The Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "Fellow, where do these thoughts of yours come from? I really can't understand it. I, the esteemed Demon Lotus Emperor, conduct myself with integrity. How did it turn into something sinister when it comes to you? Don't slander me."
"Heh, slander? Then let me ask you, why are you lurking inside me? Don't tell me you're here out of goodwill to offer help. Are you really that kind of person? Ni Junlin and the others were all arranged by you. Your various schemes are all aimed at reincarnation!" Wei Chen stared fiercely at the Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor and spoke coldly.
The handsome man looked quite helpless. He shrugged slightly and forced a smile, saying, "Fellow, if I truly intended to do that, would I wait until now to reveal myself? If I wanted to seize control of your body, I could have done so long ago at Cloud Spirit Sect. Why wait until now?"
"That's easy to say. Don't think you can deceive me. The reason you're only showing yourself now is entirely due to my Formation Assignment. You wouldn't act until my Formation Assignment was revealed."
"Fellow, you think too highly of yourself. While the formation is indeed important to me—it's part of why I chose you as my successor—I wouldn't seize your body just because your Formation Assignment is impressive. Besides, the essence is deeply hidden within the Spirit. Even if I took over your body, I wouldn't gain your Formation Assignment. What would be the point of that?" The Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor explained earnestly, but Wei Chen was not willing to listen; he was already entrenched in his preconceived notions.
He had been on guard against the Demon Lotus Emperor from the start. When the Demon Lotus Emperor finally emerged, he wouldn't listen to his explanations, leading to an irreparable situation.
Wasn't this situation truly caused by Donghua's emergence?
Wei Chen trusted Donghua's words the most. If Donghua wanted him to be cautious, Wei Chen kept it firmly in mind and dared not forget for a moment.
The Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "Fellow, listen carefully: I have no ill intentions toward you. My presence within your soul is purely for self-preservation. If I were to drift around for too long, I would die soon enough. As for your concerns, I swear by the name of the Demon Lotus Emperor that they will never come to pass. I have no interest in controlling your body; my only goal is to cultivate you. Once I return to Hua Xia World, I will find my own body and achieve true rebirth. Do you think seizing control of someone's body is such an easy task?"
After a pause, the Demon Lotus Emperor added, "Indeed, I currently possess the strength to seize control of your body, but that would bring me no benefit whatsoever. I'd have to spend time adapting to a new body and a new cultivation method—why would I want that?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor looked at Wei Chen with disdain and said, "Honestly, the most important thing is that I'm this handsome—why would I want a body like yours?"
