The Demon Lotus Emperor clearly understood the terrifying difficulty of the task at hand.
However, he also knew that achieving greatness was never easy.
Of course, for some, it seemed simple—like Wei Chen.
The Demon Lotus Emperor could not imagine how Wei Chen managed to accomplish that process, but he had some guesses about why Wei Chen was able to condense the Time Martial Soul and shape the Spatial Prototype.
"Perhaps the most important factor is that this child possesses an Ancient Bloodline. In the Nine Immortal Realm, the Ancient Bloodline is a legend, a lineage that stands alongside the divine. Only those with an Ancient Bloodline have the potential to become gods!"
"This child, Wei Chen, possesses an Ancient Bloodline. I pushed him hard, wanting him to condense the Time Martial Soul to see if he could touch the edges of time and space. To my surprise, he rose to the occasion and condensed the Time Martial Soul in just a short time, even constructing a prototype of the Spatial Plane within himself."
"Is the power of the Ancient Bloodline truly that formidable?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor squinted his eyes and continued to ponder: "It’s very likely that my gift of the Demon Lotus Heart allowed him to transcend the Three Realms and escape from the Five Elements, providing him with immense assistance. A person who has transcended the Three Realms and escaped from the Five Elements is no longer considered part of the known Spatial Plane; he has already become something far more terrifying."
"Perhaps transcending those realms is also a crucial reason for constructing the Spatial Plane?"
"The help from the Demon Lotus Heart must be significant. His cultivation level and abilities are inseparable from its aid. Without the Demon Lotus Heart, even with an Ancient Bloodline, his progress would not have been so swift. Achieving the same level would take several times longer."
As the Demon Lotus Emperor thought about this, a hint of pride crept into his gaze as he looked at Wei Chen.
If one were to compare Wei Chen to a finely crafted porcelain piece, then the Demon Lotus Emperor was at least someone who helped shape its body. Wei Chen provided the initial raw clay.
What the Demon Lotus Emperor contributed was the molding of that porcelain vessel; Wei Chen then deepened it further, honing it himself and adding colors, resulting in a masterpiece worthy of admiration.
The Demon Lotus Emperor did not dare take all the credit, but his contributions were undeniable. Even Wei Chen himself felt immense gratitude towards him for all he had done.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Demon Lotus Emperor, I have actually discovered a pattern."
"What pattern?"
"Time might be white, while space is green."
"I understand. In your marriage, the essence of time and space is filled with white and green intertwining. Your body is the same."
The Demon Lotus Emperor was very familiar with Wei Chen's constitution. Whatever Wei Chen could sense, the Demon Lotus Emperor could sense as well. After all, the Demon Lotus Emperor had been residing within Wei Chen for so long. While Wei Chen was most familiar with his own body, the Demon Lotus Emperor was a close second.
There was a hint of ambiguity in those words, but it was an undeniable truth.
Wei Chen continued, "When I was condensing the Time Martial Soul, I thought about how time and space cannot be controlled. What we can do is to adapt to them rather than forcefully control them. By following the development of time and space, I have gained quite a few benefits. If we try to resist forcefully, the results will only worsen."
"I already understand White Out. Once I refine my body, I will also start cultivating from Three Souls and Seven Spirits."
Hearing this, Wei Chen replied helplessly, "Demon Lotus Emperor, you are already a Soul Body. After you cultivate into human form, your Three Souls and Seven Spirits will be incredibly powerful. Why not start directly from Warrior Eleventh Level?"
Wei Chen couldn't comprehend why the Demon Lotus Emperor would take such a roundabout approach.
The Demon Lotus Emperor said, "You don't understand. Every person's Three Souls and Seven Spirits have their shortcomings; it's impossible to achieve perfection. I chose to descend into Soul World because I recognized its cultivation realm for Three Souls and Seven Spirits. By taking it step by step and laying a solid foundation, the subsequent path of cultivation will truly be smooth sailing. You should quickly cultivate to Soul Realm Peak and proceed to the next stage of your training. At that point, you will understand that the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Realm is a necessary level of cultivation. If it weren't so, I wouldn't have chosen to descend into Soul World."
"Soul World has such benefits?"
"Of course! The simplest example is you. If you weren't born from Soul World and hadn't cultivated Three Souls and Seven Spirits, could you still condense the prototype of Spatial Plane?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor shook his head and added, "Perhaps your great opportunity still exists, and you might eventually cultivate the prototype of Spatial Plane. But how long would that take? Have you considered that if you change your cultivation method, your Spatial Prototype might take an incredibly long time to achieve?"
Hearing this, Wei Chen nodded in agreement. Coming from a "poor" background, he seemed to be lagging behind in the eyes of everyone else within the Low-Level Spatial Dimension. However, he was quickly catching up, and surpassing his peers in the Demon Realm was truly not a difficult task for him.
It wouldn’t be long before he could genuinely begin cultivating his magical power. At that point, his level of cultivation would serve as an excellent testament to his progress.
With Wei Chen as a precedent, it was understandable that the Demon Lotus Emperor wanted to start his cultivation with the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
Yet even if the Demon Lotus Emperor began cultivating the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, his speed would be incredibly fast. Who could rival his experience? Moreover, being a Demon Lotus himself and having a background in Soul Body cultivation, his mastery over the Three Souls and Seven Spirits would be unmatched.
Wei Chen looked at the Demon Lotus Emperor and nodded. "Starting your cultivation with the Three Souls and Seven Spirits is fine, but I have a suggestion."
"Why beat around the bush? Just say it directly," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied, somewhat exasperated. It seemed that Wei Chen often enjoyed keeping people in suspense, which was quite annoying!
Wei Chen smiled lightly. "Since I have already condensed the Time Martial Soul and Spatial Martial Soul, forming the prototype of the Spatial Plane with them, you can follow this path as well and see if you can succeed! After all, you are a Soul Body; your understanding of Soul Power will be stronger than anyone else's."
"That's obvious! Did you really need to tell me that? I started my cultivation from the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Realm precisely to explore the possibility of shaping a Spatial Prototype," the Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed at Wei Chen. This was something he had already planned; he didn’t need any reminders.
Wei Chen shrugged. "Alright then, forget I said anything."
Suddenly, Wei Chen thought of a problem. It seemed that his soul was completely filled with energies of time and space—blue and white—leaving no room for anything else! In that case, could the Demon Lotus Emperor still return?
His expression turned serious as he asked, "Demon Lotus Emperor, can you still return to my soul now?"
"Naturally not. Your soul is filled with pervasive forces of time and space; there’s no place for me to stand," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied with a wry smile.
"What should we do then?" Wei Chen asked anxiously.
"I have no choice; take me to Soul Beast Mountain as soon as possible. If I absorb enough Mental Strength, I can condense my body and return to a normal life."
"Understood."
Wei Chen placed the Demon Lotus Emperor in a room and stepped out to find the Dark Mage.
"Grandfather, the Warship is heading straight for Soul Beast Mountain. I need to train there for a while," Wei Chen said.
The Black Demon Clan replied, "Is it that urgent? Can't we return to Black Magic Palace first?"
"No, it's critical. We can't delay," Wei Chen insisted, his expression resolute. The Dark Mage had no choice but to agree.
The Warship turned around and headed toward Soul Beast Mountain.
After issuing orders, the Dark Mage returned to find Wei Chen.
He scrutinized Wei Chen for a moment and squinted, "Child, have you reached the Soul Realm?"
"Yes, I just broke through in the room."
"Haha, that's great! How long do you think it will take to reach Soul Realm Peak and start absorbing magic power?" The Dark Mage was filled with anticipation. Although the Three Souls and Seven Spirits cultivation realm took time, if Wei Chen could quickly advance through it without falling behind his peers, having a strong foundation would accelerate his future training.
He was eager to see if Wei Chen could catch up to or even surpass his peers in the Demon Domain. At that point, Wei Chen would truly vindicate himself.
Even though he had eliminated Ginger Guest, his Warrior Realm was still too low, leaving many people skeptical of him. This skepticism persisted even within the Black Magic Clan. A single suppression did not prove anything; real combat was not about swordsmanship but about striking decisively in an instant. If one's Warrior Realm was too low, they wouldn't even have the means to protect themselves.
Thus, while everyone acknowledged Wei Chen's exceptional sword skills, there were serious doubts about his adaptability and combat effectiveness in dangerous situations.
The kind of doubt within the Black Magic Clan was, in fact, a form of concern and care for Wei Chen. Not everyone could receive the silent attention that Wei Chen did. As the sole heir of the Dark Magic Royal Family, he absolutely could not face any mishaps. The higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan all hoped fervently for Wei Chen to grow stronger quickly; they didn't ask for much, just enough self-defense capability would suffice.
Wei Chen smiled and asked, "Grandpa, how long do you think it will take me to cultivate my magical power?"
"The Soul Realm is not simple. Given your talent, it should take you another two or three years, right? Or if you push yourself a bit harder, it might be possible in seven or eight months."
Hearing this, Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Grandpa, after three months, I will be able to cultivate my magical power. Just wait and see."
The Dark Mage chuckled bitterly; he felt that Wei Chen was completely boasting. Three months to go from the first level of the Soul Realm to Soul Realm Peak? Was he a deity?
But how many miraculous feats had Wei Chen accomplished already?
The Warship headed straight for Soul Beast Mountain. This time, at Wei Chen's strong insistence, the Warship docked in the central area of Soul Beast Mountain, where the number of Soul Beasts was greatest and their strength was strongest; this would yield significant training results.
"Grandpa, you all don’t need to follow me. After three months, come back; I won’t get into any trouble," Wei Chen called out. Under the watchful eyes of the Black Magic Clan's higher-ups, he passed through the defensive array of Soul Beast Mountain and entered its depths. The Demon Lotus Emperor lay hidden within his Red Demon Armor, unnoticed by anyone.
"Demon Emperor, are you really sending Young Mistress on another adventure?" Muen and several high-ranking members expressed their concerns.
The Dark Mage replied calmly, "Let him go; he knows what he's doing. We should head back now and prepare for an ambush against the Beast Tide in three months!"
