Looking at Wei Chen, Thunderstorm explained, "Back in Wave City during the Battle, the five clans negotiated and divided the territories. Soul World is the territory of Thunder Clan, so once you arrive in Soul World, you will represent Thunder Clan."
"What if I don't want to join any faction?"
"That's impossible. Soul World has been divided among the five clans. When you travel from one part of Soul World to another, you will be directly transported to Thunder Clan's territory, making you one of Thunder Clan's people. If you leave Thunder Clan's territory and seek refuge with another clan, you will become a traitor to Thunder Clan and be listed on their wanted list, making it very difficult for you to survive. Moreover, Thunder Clan is allied with Fire Tribe. If you don't join Thunder Clan, your only option would be to align with Soul Clan or Dark Tribe. Given your deep-seated enmity with Soul Palace, how could Soul Clan possibly accept you?"
"So, there's no choice; I can only become one of your Thunder Clan members. When you ascend, I will take care of you and secure a good position for you."
Thunderstorm's words were pleasant to hear, but Wei Chen showed no interest. For some reason, he was not very keen on joining Thunder Clan.
"Thunder Sovereign, please continue."
"Alright, that's about it regarding the five clans. With the strength of Soul Realm Peak, once you reach Soul World, you can directly cultivate Yuan Power and become a Yuan Warrior. In our world, warriors are called Soul Warriors; however, in Soul World, they cultivate a different kind of energy known as Yuan Power, thus becoming Yuan Warriors. The Soul Power contained within the Penglai Secret Realm of Sea Tribe is what allows it to refine people. The power of Yuan Warriors is beyond our imagination; it is true strength that far surpasses that of Soul Warriors."
"After becoming a Yuan Warrior, you will gradually cultivate and advance step by step. Once you reach Soul World, you'll naturally understand."
After listening to Thunderstorm's words, Wei Chen asked, "So, can I bring people with me?"
"Are you worried about your Beauty Companions? Let me tell you that as long as you're willing to pay a price, it's possible to bring people along. As for how many people you can bring, that depends on the price you're willing to pay."
"What do you mean?"
"To access Soul World, there is a Teleportation Array. The person guarding the Teleportation Array acts as the inspector of this world. If you bribe them with some benefits, bringing people along won't be difficult."
"What kind of price are we talking about?"
"Soul World doesn't require Soul Stones; therefore, no amount of Soul Stones will help. If you want to bring people with you, start preparing High-Level Soul Artifacts and herbs—about five items of Tenth Rank High-Level will allow you to bring one person along. If you want to bring all your women with you, you'd better prepare dozens of Tenth Rank High-Level items."
Hearing this, Wei Chen felt an impulse to curse. How could this be? Even the Fire Sect wouldn't have dozens of Tenth Rank High-Level items, right? Even if they scoured all the good stuff from the entire Central Domain, they might not be able to gather that many.
Relying on bribery to bring people was clearly out of the question.
Seeing Wei Chen's gloomy expression, Thunderstorm chuckled, "Actually, there's another way. As long as you can find a space-type soul artifact that can hold living beings, you can take as many people as you want up there. The only problem is that such things are rare, even among the higher-ups of the five clans."
Wei Chen rolled his eyes. Wasn't that equivalent to saying it was impossible?
However, deep down, he was grinning from ear to ear.
The Demon Lotus Emperor had a rare space-type treasure located where the Golden Dragon Maiden was. With that item, bringing people along would pose no difficulty for Wei Chen.
Calculating the time, the Golden Dragon Maiden should be coming out soon, right?
"Brother Wei Chen, I can only tell you this much. I don't know anything more. Once you reach the Upper Realm, you'll naturally learn everything."
Thunderstorm looked at Wei Chen eagerly, wondering if this information could be exchanged for more Divine Beast Blood.
Wei Chen understood Thunderstorm's expression, but how could such little information possibly be worth too much Divine Beast Blood? The auction was a great opportunity to enhance the Peach Blossom Sect's reputation; he wouldn't let it slip away.
"Thunder Sovereign, wait a moment. I'll go get six bottles of Dragon Blood."
A moment later, Wei Chen returned with six bottles of Dragon Blood and handed them all to Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm caught the pure energy emanating from the Dragon Blood and was so excited that he nearly hugged Wei Chen and took a few bites out of sheer joy.
He originally thought that obtaining Dragon Blood would require a tremendous cost, but unexpectedly, Wei Chen was so generous as to give him six vials.
Could it be that Dragon Blood was so worthless in Wei Chen's eyes?
Thunderstorm couldn't help but regard Wei Chen with newfound respect, feeling that he was a god-like figure.
"Brother Wei Chen, to be honest, Dragon Blood is very important to me. Once I reach the Upper Realm, with this Dragon Blood, I will gain the recognition of the higher-ups in the Thunder Clan and rise swiftly. In a place like Soul World, even if I am the Human Race Leader, what does it matter? My strength in the Upper Realm will only be average; I will just have entered the realm of the strong, similar to the Spirit Realm in Soul World."
After hearing Thunderstorm's words, Wei Chen gained a basic understanding of the power dynamics in Soul World.
"Thunder Sovereign, how strong are the Five Races?" Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before asking.
Thunderstorm replied, "I can't explain it; I can only say they are very strong. If any elite team of a hundred from the Five Races were to come to our Soul World, they could wipe out everyone here without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen nodded. "That indeed sounds very strong, just as I imagined."
"Brother Wei Chen, I advise you to focus on cultivating to Soul Realm Peak in Soul World and accumulate wealth—those rare items. Only then will you have an advantage when you arrive in Soul World. If you go too early without anything valuable on you, you won't even find a place to stay in the large City-States of Thunder Clan. In Soul World, everything is bought with Elemental Stones; houses in those large City-States require Elemental Stones for purchase. Even staying at an inn long-term would be unaffordable for you. In short, take my advice: accumulate wealth so you can get by later. Your Peach Blossom Sect has already given you a high starting point; rely on it as much as possible to seek Material Treasures. Let me tell you, Material Treasures are universally valuable everywhere. Even High-Level Soul Artifacts may not attract attention from people in the Upper Realm."
Thunderstorm's earnest advice showed that he genuinely cared for Wei Chen.
Wei Chen receiving six vials of Dragon Blood was no joke.
"Thunderstorm suddenly being so friendly must be due to the Dragon Blood. What do I need to seek? All I need to do is focus on breaking through; wealth is not important to me. With Gu Yuehong around, how much Dragon Blood do I really need? Moreover, the blood I've obtained from Fire Phoenix and Xuan Gui is already sufficient."
As Wei Chen thought about this, a proud expression appeared on his face. Who could compare to him when it came to wealth?
"Thunder Sovereign, thank you for your reminder. I've noted everything you've said. However, my trip to the Soul World won't take too long. By the time you go to the Soul World, I will definitely be able to join you," Wei Chen said confidently.
Thunderstorm pouted, skeptical. "Brother Wei Chen, it's not that I underestimate you. Your talent is indeed strong, unprecedentedly so. But the battle with the Soul Palace is about to begin. After that, I will head to the Soul World. Will you make it in time?"
"Whether I make it or not, I have to give it a try. I have confidence," Wei Chen replied.
"Alright then, I wish you success. Our Fire Sect will stay within your Peach Blossom Sect for now. Everything is for dealing with the Soul Palace!"
...
Wei Chen had Musa step forward to settle the Fire Sect members. Musa was the future leader of the Peach Blossom Sect, and Wei Chen was doing his best to let him take charge and connect with various figures so that after his departure, Musa would be able to manage things effectively.
At the same time, Musa's strength was steadily increasing.
Musa's Soul Power Gift wasn't particularly strong, but under Gu Yuehong's Dragon Blood enhancement, he could almost receive a cup of Dragon Blood supply every few moments. Even if his talent was lacking, it could be accumulated into strength.
As for Wei Chen himself, thanks to the Soul Stones sent by Elegant, his progress was rapid as well; he had already reached Human Soul Realm Level Six.
Such speed was unparalleled and truly unprecedented.
After some time, the Formation System of the Peach Blossom Sect was fully established. Layer upon layer of formations, ranging from fourth rank to Tenth Rank, were combined by Wei Chen and Han Mang into a massive array of hundreds of thousands of formations. Among them, the most crucial were Master Jin's Nine Dragon Coffin Formation and the Fire Sect's fire formation—both were of utmost importance. With these formations in place, they could hide within Cang Mountain and control the formations, making it extremely time-consuming for an army like that of Cloud Spirit Sect to break through all their defenses.
With the Formation System established, the buildings atop Cang Mountain were completed thanks to the craftsmen working overtime.
Now, Cang Mountain was surrounded by formations and numerous beasts were stationed for defense. The buildings on the mountaintop were interconnected by formations; each structure served as a focal point for those arrays. Throughout Cang Mountain, formations were everywhere—except for a few designated areas for free movement, most places were no-man's lands.
The Soul Warrior was no ordinary being; even high-level experts from the Soul Realm would meet a dire fate if they recklessly intruded.
The Peach Blossom Sect paid a hefty price for this. Not to mention the consumption of Soul Stones, the sheer scale of the Formation System was staggering. Just the disappearance of Soul Stones alone amounted to an astronomical figure. The rewards for the Formation Masters had already cost the Peach Blossom Sect a significant sum.
Fortunately, with Divine Beast Blood in hand, they would be able to recoup all losses during the auction.
Everything was in place, just waiting for the right moment. The Peach Blossom Sect's Establishment Celebration was being meticulously planned. In this regard, Wei Chen was clueless, but Musa displayed remarkable organizational skills, causing Han Mang and other senior fellows to secretly feel that they had chosen the right person for the future leader of the Peach Blossom Sect.
Wei Chen's women were busy with their cultivation and tasks, leaving no one idle.
After the establishment of the Formation System, everything within the Peach Blossom Sect seemed to fall into place.
Finally, after a week of preparation, the Establishment Celebration of the Peach Blossom Sect officially commenced.
Within the Peach Blossom Sect and throughout Cang Mountain, an atmosphere of joy filled the air. Representatives from all major forces in the Central Domain attended the Establishment ceremony, many holding significant status. Even those factions that had previously clashed with the Peach Blossom Sect sent gifts as a gesture of goodwill.
The Elegant and the Dongxing Trading Company that Wei Chen had vowed to eliminate, along with assassins from Evil Dragon Path, also sent representatives.
Among those factions, only a select few were allowed inside Cang Mountain itself, while millions gathered around its periphery to join in the festivities.
The Human Race Leader and Thunderstorm were present at Cang Mountain; who could afford to lose face?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Peach Blossom Sect was officially established, with Musa as its first sect master, leaving many astonished.
