"You have that confidence, which is good. I also don't want to see your Black Magic Clan suffer heavy losses. If we from the Dark Demon Clan attack the Dragon Clan alone, I might feel a bit uneasy."
Hearing Ji Dingxuan's words, the Dark Mage smiled and said, "The support we need will definitely be there. The three strong factions have maintained their balance for too long; the magic realm should shift to a two-power dominance. Between these two powers, a bond of bloodline will help maintain a longer-lasting peace."
Upon hearing this, Ji Dingxuan nodded heavily, as if he could already envision the glorious scene of the Dark Demon Clan and the Black Magic Clan dominating the magic realm. Moreover, it would be the Dark Demon Clan that was strongest, while the Black Magic Clan would struggle after facing the Beast Tide.
Just thinking about that scene made him feel a surge of excitement.
At that moment, a figure flew out from Soul Beast Mountain.
Seeing that figure, the Dark Mage was instantly delighted. Who else could it be but Wei Chen?
Wei Chen did not fly directly to the Warship where the Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan were; instead, he hovered in mid-air, staring blankly at the Army below Soul Beast Mountain, truly astonished. In his lifetime, he had never seen so many soldiers before!
Looking around, it was like an army of ants everywhere!
"What is that old man up to? It's just the Beast Tide; does it really need such a grand display?"
"This is ridiculous! Transporting so many soldiers in such a short time must have consumed an enormous amount of resources! If only I had all those resources for myself..."
After being shocked by the imposing Army, Wei Chen felt waves of frustration.
What frustrated him was that the Dark Mage didn't even negotiate with him and set up such a mighty defensive line. If it turned out to be of no use later on, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?
At this moment, Wei Chen noticed the Warship not far away. On the Warship were the Dark Mage, Ji Dingxuan, Ji Min, and Yan Qiqi, all watching him from afar.
Wei Chen quickly flew toward the Warship and landed steadily on its deck. Before he could say anything, a soft body leaped into his arms.
"Brother, are you alright?" Yan Qiqi's eyes were gentle as water, filled with joy and affection as she casually asked.
Wei Chen smiled as he patted Yan Qiqi's back, saying, "It's fine. How could someone as amazing as me have any problems?"
"Okay, I'll go ask Grandpa about some things first."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qiqi obediently released her embrace around Wei Chen and felt a surge of joy.
In contrast to Yan Qiqi's happiness, Ji Min frowned at the sight of Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi being so close.
She thought about it but couldn't help but feel complicated emotions. Seeing the only man she could tolerate hugging another woman and showing affection made Ji Min's feelings very mixed. She didn't know how to think about it or how to face Wei Chen.
The identity of being the legitimate wife didn't compare to what Wei Chen felt deep down! Who he liked was his own business; a title couldn't restrict that.
Ji Min couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy towards Yan Qiqi.
When Wei Chen saw Ji Min, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He walked up to her and cheerfully said, "Ji Min, you’re here too? Came to watch the Beast Tide?"
Ji Min scoffed, "Not at all. I'm not interested in all that fighting and killing."
"Hehe, that's great! So you came to see me instead."
"Don't flatter yourself. There's no way I came to see you."
"Then what are you here for? No need to explain; explanations are just excuses. It wouldn't hurt to come see me, right?"
Wei Chen secretly noticed Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan chatting happily together. He guessed that Ji Dingxuan and Ji Min were at Black Magic Clan for an engagement. Perhaps Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan had already negotiated everything?
If that were the case, then everything would be just fine. He needed Ji Min's Lotus Heart Physique, but their relationship wasn't quite there yet. A little teasing now would make things easier later on.
Wei Chen's plan was working well. The slightly jealous Ji Min saw Wei Chen's mischievous grin and instantly pushed aside thoughts of his earlier intimacy with Yan Qiqi.
"Why do you care what I'm doing? You're so annoying, always meddling!" Ji Min huffed.
"You are going to be my future wife. If I don't care about you, who else should I care about?" Wei Chen replied shamelessly.
Ji Min's face instantly flushed with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, unable to look at Wei Chen any longer.
Seeing Ji Min's shy demeanor, Wei Chen confirmed his thoughts; the old man and Ji Dingxuan must have already made arrangements.
Wei Chen approached Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan, bowing respectfully to Dark Mage. "Grandfather, what’s going on with the soldiers below?"
Dark Mage recounted the defensive preparations and the internal matters of the Dragon Clan to Wei Chen, including the engagement between Wei Chen and Ji Min, leaving Wei Chen astonished.
So many significant events had unfolded in the Demon Realm in such a short time? Especially the internal strife within the Dragon Clan; that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After slightly greeting Ji Dingxuan, Wei Chen turned directly to Black Demon Clan. "Grandfather, I estimate that the Beast Tide will begin in three to five days. However, this time, the Beast Tide won't be too strong. A friend of mine and I have already slain countless Soul Beasts in Soul Beast Mountain."
"Your friend?" Dark Mage asked, somewhat surprised. Given Wei Chen's personality, he wouldn't easily make friends. Moreover, from his tone, it seemed that this friend was capable of defeating Soul Devouring Beasts?
"Yes, you'll know when the time comes. For now, that's not important. In any case, you don't need to worry too much about the Beast Tide; I have it under control."
Hearing this, Dark Mage smiled wryly and nodded. Although Wei Chen sounded confident, how could he trust him? The Army's defenses were what truly gave him peace of mind.
At that moment, Ji Dingxuan looked astonished, his gaze fixed intently on Wei Chen. "Wei Chen, have you reached the peak of the tenth level?"
Upon hearing Ji Dingxuan's words, Dark Mage finally realized that Wei Chen's warrior aura had indeed strengthened significantly. Although compared to the powers within the Demon Realm, Wei Chen still seemed weak and insignificant, his rapid rise from peak ninth level to peak tenth level in just a short span of time was enough to clarify some issues.
Wei Chen's warrior talent was remarkably formidable!
Facing the shock from Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan, Wei Chen smiled shyly and said, "Just a bit of luck; I've always been quite fortunate."
Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan both wore bitter smiles upon hearing this. Luck? Such a violent surge in power could hardly be attributed to luck.
Such things were not easily seen on a daily basis; they only became known after someone had achieved an astonishing level of cultivation. Earlier, Dark Mage thought Wei Chen's martial talent was decent, while Ji Dingxuan even believed Wei Chen's talent was poor, merely at the ninth level...
But now, they both understood that their previous thoughts were completely wrong. Wei Chen's martial talent was simply extraordinary!
From any perspective, achieving the peak of the tenth level from the pinnacle of the ninth level in just ten hours was nothing short of miraculous. Both Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan had also cultivated in the Three Souls and Seven Spirits realm. Essentially, the true top-tier experts within the Demon Realm had all practiced in the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Realm; even if they hadn't fully cultivated it, they had enhanced parts of it. Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan did not progress nearly as quickly when moving from Earth Soul Realm to Soul Realm. Their talents were already impressive, but it took them several months.
Seeing the miracles surrounding Wei Chen, Dark Mage felt astonished at first, but then more numbness set in. Even at the ninth level, he could suppress Ginger Guest of the Thirteenth Level with his swordsmanship; thus, no matter how many more miracles appeared around Wei Chen, they seemed insignificant.
"Child, how exactly did you cultivate?" Dark Mage asked Wei Chen calmly.
Wei Chen showed a helpless expression. He shrugged and said, "It's simple; just go with the flow. Grandpa, please give me the cultivation method for what comes next. I've stayed too long in the Three Souls and Seven Spirits realm and am eager to push forward and catch up with the young talents of the Demon Realm."
As he spoke, Wei Chen's gaze swept toward Ji Min. Ji Min was at the seventeenth level of martial arts and was the first person Wei Chen wanted to surpass. If he truly got married now, wouldn't his strength be inferior to Ji Min's? Wouldn't he be bullied everywhere?
Dark Mage nodded and said, "After reaching the tenth level, you will enter a new twelve-stage cultivation process: Demon Gathering Realm, Condensing Realm, Demon Realm, Open Demon Realm, Return to Demon Realm, Infant Demon Realm, Soul Demon Realm, Spirit Demon Realm, Reverse Demon Realm, Enlightenment Realm, Holy Demon Realm. After reaching Holy Demon Realm, there will be another stage of cultivation called Seven Emotions and Six Desires. I will first share with you the cultivation methods for these twelve realms; once you reach the twenty-second level, I will teach you the subsequent cultivation methods."
Dark Mage transmitted a set of incantations into Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness. Wei Chen reviewed them and found that cultivating in these realms was quite straightforward; it required minimal effort and followed a similar pattern to that of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits realm.
Seeing the smile on Wei Chen's face, Dark Mage asked, "Child, how long do you think it will take you to cultivate through these twelve levels?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Dingxuan became interested as well; he wanted to see Wei Chen's response and gauge his confidence.
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before replying lightly, "Twelve levels correspond to twelve months; averaging one level per month should be sufficient."
Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan opened their mouths in disbelief. To reach the peak of twelve levels in a year? That was an outrageous claim! Even Dark Mage, who had great faith in Wei Chen, found it hard to believe his words.
Wei Chen calmly stated, "Just wait and see; at most within a year, I will reach Holy Demon Realm."
"Child, it's not that Grandpa doesn't believe you, but what you're saying is simply too astonishing. I'll give you ten years; if you can reach the Twenty-Second Level in your cultivation, you can return to the Soul World. You can go wherever you want, and Grandpa won't interfere."
Hearing the Dark Mage's words, Wei Chen exclaimed with joy, "Grandpa, is that true?"
"Child, having confidence is a good thing, but being overly confident can lead to difficulties. If you hit a bottleneck in your cultivation, it will be quite painful for you," the Black Demon Clan warned.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Once I reach the Twenty-Second Level, I'll return to the Soul World, fulfill my responsibilities, and then come back."
"Haha, child, Grandpa will be waiting for that day. No matter the cost, I will keep my promise."
"Cost?"
"Well, to go to the Soul World, all the experts within the Black Magic Clan must work together to set up formations and channel their magical power. It requires immense resources to open the Spatial Tunnel and send you back."
Wei Chen arrived in the Demon Realm by chance, through an abyss left by the Solar Crisis. Now that abyss had vanished, making it very difficult to traverse the Spatial Tunnel back. The Dark Mage initially didn't want Wei Chen to leave; after all, once he was gone, the future would be uncertain and life or death unpredictable. However, to motivate Wei Chen to cultivate diligently and reach the Twenty-Second Level as soon as possible, the Dark Mage relented.
In the Dark Mage's view, no matter how talented a person was, it would take at least thirty to fifty years to progress from Level Ten to Level Twenty-Two. He himself had been quite fast back in his day and had spent a full thirty years on his own cultivation.
He had high hopes for Wei Chen; it wouldn't surprise him if Wei Chen managed to reach the Twenty-Second Level in just over a decade in the Holy Demon Realm. But when Wei Chen mentioned one year, the Dark Mage felt that was akin to Sword Mountain.
