For the first time in their lives, the three of them simultaneously experienced a feeling of fear.
That emotion quietly spread, causing their hearts to race.
The Soul Beast King was indeed a formidable Mountain Spirit that they could not contend with.
Stretching for a hundred thousand miles, nearly ten thousand miles wide, and towering ten miles high... not to mention the part of the Soul Beast Mountain rooted underground; just the surface portion of the Soul Beast Mountain was already unimaginably powerful.
Red Boy finally realized that he was still too naive and inexperienced. Such a powerful Spirit Beast King was simply beyond their ability to resist. The Mental Strength condensed in Reprint, even if it exploded, would be of little use. Honestly, it was hardly useful at all.
Red Boy felt like crying.
"Wei Chen, Demon Lotus Emperor, this Soul Beast King cannot be measured by the Thirty-Six Levels; it is at least above level forty, a formidable realm only found in the Ancient World. If it wants to keep us here, we have no chance," Red Boy quietly transmitted to Wei Chen and Demon Lotus Emperor.
Wei Chen replied through thought, "Don't be afraid; it's nothing. It shouldn't have any intent to kill us. If it did, we would have been dead long ago. We wouldn't still be alive now."
"Exactly. We’ve killed many of its subordinates, yet it hasn’t retaliated against us. Instead, it brought us to the mountain peak, which proves it has something to say to us rather than wanting to kill us," Demon Lotus Emperor added.
Hearing Wei Chen and Demon Lotus Emperor's comforting words, Red Boy felt somewhat reassured, even knowing it was merely consolation. At least he wasn't as tense anymore. Given his age and unstable mindset, encountering such a situation was bound to shake him.
After all, Red Boy had grown into a strong young man physically, but mentally he remained just a boy; there was nothing he could do about it.
Suddenly, the Soul Beast Mountain trembled as an old man appeared before Wei Chen and the others.
The old man had wrinkled skin and looked frail, as if he could collapse at any moment.
However, his Mental Strength was terrifying. The moment he appeared, Wei Chen and the others instantly held their breath and focused intently, not daring to speak.
They were all astonished; this old man possessed a true body formed from condensed Mental Strength! There was no trace of magical energy or any hint of Warrior Realm about him, yet he exuded an overwhelming sense of power.
Demon Lotus Emperor felt enlightened and thought quietly: "Is it really possible to cultivate Mental Strength to such an incredible degree?"
He pondered quietly whether he should focus on cultivating Mental Strength and give up on the Warrior Realm. After all, for a body formed from Mental Strength, cultivating the Warrior Realm would not yield much power. However, if he concentrated on cultivating Mental Strength to a certain level, he could become like the elder before him—commanding respect without anger. Who would dare to act recklessly?
The elder waved his hand, and all the Soul Beasts around them instantly scattered.
Within several miles, there were no more Soul Beasts in sight.
The elder carefully examined Wei Chen, Demon Lotus Emperor, and Red Boy, his eyes gleaming with interest but devoid of any killing intent.
At this moment, Wei Chen felt a sense of relief. After all, the elder was terrifyingly powerful, which made him less intimidating. It was a paradox; when your opponent or enemy is so strong that you cannot even muster the will to resist, they become less frightening. What was there to fear? Regardless, one could not win against such strength and would only be bullied and oppressed.
The elder scrutinized Wei Chen and the others for a moment before speaking lightly, "You three are rather peculiar. Heh heh, one of you has an Ancient Bloodline and possesses the Demon Lotus Heart—very impressive! Another has a body formed from Mental Strength; although it is pitifully weak, it is still a step onto a broad path. As for you, Fellow, are you the soul born from that Armor? I suggest you spare no effort in cultivating a body as soon as possible. Only then will you be a complete individual instead of what you are now—neither human nor ghost. It looks quite uncomfortable."
Hearing the elder's words, Wei Chen and the others simultaneously sighed in relief. From the elder's tone, it was clear he bore no ill will towards them!
"Senior, are you the Mountain Spirit of Soul Beast Mountain?" Wei Chen asked respectfully while cupping his fists.
The elder nodded. "Yes, I am the Mountain Spirit born from Soul Beast Mountain. After countless years, I have formed a body and spent many more years refining my Mental Strength to its peak. Among all Spatial Planes, when it comes to Mental Strength alone, I doubt anyone is stronger than I am—even those Great Beings from the Ancient World cannot compare to me in terms of Mental Strength."
The elder was extremely confident, and he had every reason to be so. Wei Chen could not gauge how powerful his Mental Strength truly was; he could only sense an overwhelming aura emanating from him.
Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy were equally shaken. Just what level of Mental Strength did this old fellow possess?
Seemingly aware of their confusion, the elder continued, "My Mental Strength is the strongest in this realm; no one can surpass my level of strength. I have that much confidence. As for how to classify its rank, I’m not sure either. All I remember is that last time a Great Being from the Ancient World crossed over to challenge me in Mental Strength; after several bouts, he was utterly defeated and left in disgrace. Before he departed, he left behind a remark implying that his Mental Strength was the strongest in the Ancient World but still lost to me—he accepted it willingly."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen, Demon Lotus Emperor, and Red Boy were left speechless. Could it be true that his Mental Strength was so formidable that even a Great Being from the Ancient World would go through such lengths to challenge him?
"You might think that’s Sword Mountain," the elder chuckled as he looked at Red Boy. "I heard them call you that; you've been in the Ancient World and might know about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? I can tell you that it was one of the Five Emperors who came to challenge me regarding Mental Strength. As for which one specifically, I cannot disclose that."
The elder smiled broadly at Red Boy, whose expression changed dramatically!
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are truly dominant figures of the Ancient World! Ordinary people could hardly know of their existence! Only those who have experienced the Ancient World can recognize the names of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
So, what the old man said is all true?
Red Boy swallowed hard. Even though he did not possess a true human body, his gesture of swallowing was incredibly vivid.
"Red Boy, is what this old man said true?" Wei Chen and Demon Lotus Emperor simultaneously inquired through telepathy.
Red Boy replied, "It should be quite accurate."
Wei Chen and Demon Lotus Emperor exchanged glances, no longer daring to doubt the old man's identity. If even a Great Being from the Ancient World had been defeated by him, what else could be questioned?
The old man's Mental Strength was likely the strongest among all known Spatial Planes.
Encountering such a monstrous figure rendered Wei Chen's intelligence useless. The current situation was that as long as the old man wished to act, a mere thought could annihilate them all. Their Sea of Consciousness would be instantly reduced to ruins, and no elixir could save them.
Wei Chen and the others fell silent, not daring to speak. They lowered their heads and looked at the old man with utmost respect. The calculations they had made earlier were all known to him; everything they did on Soul Beast Mountain had not escaped his notice.
The terrifying old man left them feeling utterly powerless. Wei Chen truly did not know what to do.
But there was one thing worth being thankful for: the old man bore no killing intent.
However, it remained unclear why he had summoned them up here.
The old man gazed calmly at Wei Chen and the others, scanning them with his eyes. "You three are quite impressive; you have mastered the method of devouring Soul Beasts to enhance your Mental Strength. You have embarked on a path of infinite improvement for your Mental Strength. Let me tell you, enhancing Mental Strength is the true way; Warrior Realm is merely an auxiliary role. If you have time, practicing it will provide benefits; if not, focusing solely on cultivating your Mental Strength is also perfectly fine. Everyone has their own path; there’s no need to force anything."
Wei Chen and the others nodded eagerly. In front of such a high-level Mental Power Expert, receiving any teachings—regardless of correctness—was something they had to acknowledge without any hint of carelessness.
"You may feel that my words are incorrect right now, which is quite normal. Until you reach my stage, you cannot comprehend this. Mental Strength is the strongest form of attack. Once you reach a certain level, Mental Attack can also become tangible energy. At that realm, Mental Strength itself becomes an attacking force stronger than magic in the Demon Realm or ancient power in the Ancient World. Your current level of Mental Strength cultivation is still very low; it’s hardly worth mentioning. When your Mental Strength surpasses Thirty-Six Levels, you will begin to gain some insight. But even at Thirty-Six Levels, there remains a long way to go before your Mental Strength can transform into energy attacks."
The old man looked at Wei Chen and the others, speaking calmly.
Wei Chen and his companions pondered over the old man's words, gradually finding some conviction in them. With such formidable strength, he surely wouldn't deceive them for no reason. Did their own meager abilities warrant such deception?
Yet, Wei Chen still couldn't grasp what the old man was trying to convey.
Surely he wasn't just bored and looking for someone to chat with?
"Well, you all can decide for yourselves. My words are merely a suggestion; each of you has your own focus, which is quite commendable," the old man said, a hint of desolation appearing on his face.
After a brief pause, he continued, "In fact, the last Beast Tide was not instigated by me. I didn't have the leisure for that. The Soul Beasts on Soul Beast Mountain generally do not wish to leave their home. Soul Beast Mountain is where they thrive; it contains everything they need to survive. Unless they are subjected to immense fright, they would never abandon Soul Beast Mountain. That Beast Tide occurred because I was engaged in battle with a powerful being from the Ancient World, and they could not withstand the residual force, scattering in panic, which led to devastation for the Black Magic Clan. I was powerless to stop it."
Pausing again, the old man turned to Wei Chen and said lightly, "Fellow, rest assured that there will be no Beast Tide this time. Your Black Magic Clan's defenses will not be in vain."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen's face lit up with joy. No Beast Tide? That was the best news he could hope for! His greatest concern had always been the impending Beast Tide, but now it seemed that the old man's words were trustworthy.
However, Wei Chen couldn't understand why the old man had summoned all the thirty-fourth to thirty-fifth tier Soul Beasts from Soul Beast Mountain here. Was he holding a meeting?
"Senior, may I ask why you have gathered the powerful Soul Beasts from Soul Beast Mountain here?" Wei Chen mustered his courage and respectfully inquired.
The old man sighed softly and replied with a hint of melancholy, "Because... I am going to die."
