It was very simple, and the construction was quite reasonable. It seemed clever, but in reality, it was also very applicable, considering every aspect.
However, there was one extremely important issue that Wei Chen had completely overlooked.
Han Che, Pharmaceutical Sovereign, Mu Yang, and Musa were all extremely excited, enchanted by Wei Chen's Formation System, completely oblivious to how much time it would take to accomplish all of this.
Only Han Mang remained clear-headed. He silently cursed Wei Chen's ancestors while breaking into a cold sweat, nearly mapping out his frustrations.
“Wei Chenzi, are you done yet?” Han Mang glared at Wei Chen with disdain.
Wei Chen looked bewildered. “Old man, have you lost your mind? Is there something wrong with my plan?”
“There’s nothing wrong; your planning is excellent—fantastic, even! It’s seamless! If we really build your Formation System, I dare say our Peach Blossom Sect will surpass all Nine-Rank Sects in the Central Domain and rival the top Cloud Spirit Sect of the Fire Sect!”
“Then that’s settled! If we all put in a little more effort, our future will be bright!” Wei Chen chuckled.
“Bright? You’ve got to be kidding! Think about it: when we were on Peach Blossom Island, our Formation System was less than one-tenth of yours! And it took me ten years to develop those formations! Your plans sound great and beautiful, but how many years will it take to create all those formations? A hundred years?”
“Even if my formation skills have improved and yours are strong too, how many years will it take us combined? Conservatively speaking, it would take thirty years to complete those formations! By then, what will we even have left? We three old geezers might already be dead!” Han Mang fumed, rolling up his sleeves as if he wanted to confront Wei Chen directly.
“Stop making a fuss! No matter how beautiful your plans are, they can’t compete with stark reality!”
Han Mang’s words were firm as he rejected Wei Chen’s proposal.
Wei Chen felt reluctant. “Old man, don’t be so hasty. As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. We’ll find a solution.”
“Fine! You figure it out then. I’m just an old man; I don’t have the energy to set up formations alone for decades without finishing. By the time I’m done, you’ll have already run off.”
The last sentence came out of Han Mang’s mouth through gritted teeth. He had always worried that Wei Chen might suddenly leave. At the very least, Wei Chen hadn’t given him a clear timeline. There was a chance that before the Peach Blossom Sect had fully developed its wings, Wei Chen might abandon them and walk away. In that case, there would be no talk of strengthening the Peach Blossom Sect.
Wei Chen was now the golden signboard of the Peach Blossom Sect; with him around, anything was possible. Without him, nothing could be achieved.
“Don’t worry; since this plan is mine, I absolutely won’t abandon it before it’s completed. Old man, just rest assured that those formations will definitely be established and will only grow stronger—never weaker than my plans. We are going to build a top-tier Formation System that no one can breach. This is my promise to the Peach Blossom Sect and to you.”
Upon hearing Wei Chen’s words, Musa and Mu Yang along with Ginger Tooth exchanged thoughtful glances. From the conversation between Wei Chen and Han Mang, astute individuals could analyze certain things; it seemed like Wei Chen intended to leave?
Musa quietly glanced at Wei Chen and waited until the meeting concluded before pulling him aside into a secluded area. “Wei Chen, it’s been a long time since we sat down for a good chat.”
"Yes, I really miss the time in Wushuang City. You were the incredibly flamboyant Mister Mu, always bringing beautiful women to sell. Those days, you must miss them too, right?" Wei Chen said with a faint smile.
"Sigh, who wouldn't? But times have changed; those days are gone forever. Even if I could go back to that life now, I wouldn't. Different periods call for different actions. This is a great time to build a career. If I keep wasting time like this, I'll never have a future," Musa replied calmly.
Hearing this, Wei Chen felt genuinely happy for Musa. The prodigal son had returned! If this fellow took things seriously, he could achieve great results in whatever he pursued.
This situation was welcomed; Wei Chen was planning to make Musa the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect. Musa's newfound awareness would be a tremendous benefit for the entire sect.
"You're right; we all need to establish our achievements now and can't afford to waste any more time. Everything requires effort. Regardless of success or failure, the process of trying is already commendable. I've always believed that as long as we work hard, there's nothing we can't accomplish. Don't you think I'm right?"
"Yes, just like your Formation System. I think it's quite impressive and definitely worth investing time into. That way, if something comes up in the future and you're delayed for a long time, the Peach Blossom Sect will be safer, and we can wait for your return without worry," Musa said with a grin, but his words carried an implied meaning.
Wei Chen paused, sensing the hint from his long-time friend Musa. He didn't want to hide anything.
He furrowed his brow slightly and hesitated before saying, "Musa, have you heard something?"
"Nothing specific, but anyone could tell from your conversation with Han Mang. We've been together for so long that I'm well aware of your habits. If you weren't planning to leave, why would you rush to create such an elaborate Formation System? Han Mang is definitely right; such a large Formation System can't be completed in a short time. Since you're still interested in it, there can only be one possibility."
Musa's gaze fixed on Wei Chen as he spoke deliberately: "You want to leave!"
Wei Chen helplessly spread his hands and smiled wryly. "Alright, you've guessed everything correctly. We're such good brothers; I won't hide it from you anymore. I do plan to leave. As for when exactly, I can't say for sure, but it won't be too far off. I can only promise you that before I go, I'll finish what needs to be done and ensure that the Peach Blossom Sect is well-organized. By then, when I leave, I can do so with peace of mind. Just like you said, when I return, I want to see a thriving Peach Blossom Sect—not one that's being oppressed."
"Haha, Wei Chen, you think too highly of us! Leave this matter to me; once you're gone, the Peach Blossom Sect will still be strong! Our Mu Family is already part of the Peach Blossom Sect; we will dedicate ourselves completely to it!"
Musa laughed heartily and opened his arms wide to give Wei Chen a big hug.
It wasn't yet time for their true farewell, but feelings of parting already filled this sentimental second-generation heir.
Once upon a time, Musa had been a true playboy—relying on the deep strength of the Ancient Spirit Academy to dominate Wushuang City without restraint. His reputation was built on indulgence and casual relationships with women.
However, after the Ancient Spirit Academy faced great adversity, Musa began to change. Now he had transformed into a truly promising young man. His mindset was rare among his peers; at just twenty years old, he recognized that it was time to build a career and stop wasting time—how many people could achieve that?
Listening to Musa's words made Wei Chen truly start to trust him. Handing over the Peach Blossom Sect to him as its leader was undoubtedly an excellent choice. The position of Peach Blossom Sect Leader was incredibly important; if Musa were not capable enough for it, Wei Chen would rather let Old Man Han Mang struggle than place such an important role in Musa's hands.
Of course, Musa had no idea that Wei Chen had already decided to pass on the leadership of the Peach Blossom Sect to him.
His reassurances allowed Wei Chen to feel at ease about leaving; entrusting the sect to him was merely meant to comfort Wei Chen—not an indication of any desire for power on Musa's part. It was brotherly loyalty; anyone who interpreted it as Musa's ambition would simply be thinking too lowly of him.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "To dedicate oneself to the utmost until death is too serious. Just do your best and always think about the collective. Don't act alone or recklessly. Even if you make some mistakes occasionally, it's not a big deal. The entire Peach Blossom Sect can help you shoulder it."
"Haha, Wei Chen, do you think too highly of me? Right now, I have no right to make mistakes. Whatever I do, I must be cautious. Acting alone and recklessly are no longer options for me. Just like you, this is my promise to you and to the entire Peach Blossom Sect."
With that, Musa laughed heartily and finally let go of Wei Chen.
Suddenly, Wei Chen noticed that there were already a few traces of moisture at the corners of Musa's eyes.
Seeing that scene made Wei Chen's eyes a bit misty as well. If it weren't for the heavy burdens he carried, would he really want to leave? No matter what, regardless of Wei Chen's current identity or future prospects, no matter how splendid the Hua Xia World might be, Wei Chen only knew that the Soul World was where his roots lay.
"I, Wei Chen, vow that one day I will cultivate to the strongest realm. At that time, I can return anytime to see my brothers." Wei Chen silently swore, never imagining that this vow would soon become a reality.
For some true Supreme Beings, casually traversing space and wandering around is not very difficult.
Becoming such a Supreme Being is something most people cannot achieve no matter how hard they try, but Wei Chen was someone with great opportunities; what others could not accomplish, he could.
"Alright, enough of that. It will probably take a few years. The most important thing now is to establish the defense system for the Peach Blossom Sect. This is something close to my heart. Musa, you have plenty of cunning ideas; why don't you think of something for me?" Wei Chen asked Musa since he couldn't find a suitable method himself.
Musa indeed had many clever ideas, but in this matter, Wei Chen didn't dare to hold too high hopes for him.
However, Musa surprisingly had some thoughts that could help Wei Chen construct the defense system sooner.
