For the sake of a hope, the probability of the old man dying instantly was not high for Wei Chen.
This was a gamble that involved two lives and the fate of the Soul World and the Demon Realm.
It was both the selflessness of that senior, but in reality, was it not a form of selfishness?
That old man, in order to preserve Soul Beast Mountain, wanted to drag Wei Chen down with him; was that not selfish?
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler said lightly, "Anyway, I won't live much longer. After millions of years, I've had enough. The real difficulty lies only with you."
He gazed at Wei Chen with a calm demeanor and continued, "I can no longer live, but you have the choice to continue living. To put it harshly, it means nothing to me; it is truly cruel for you."
At these words, the knot in Wei Chen's heart eased slightly. Regardless of everything, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler could be considered an honorable person.
"Senior, let's begin. I am very curious about what that gray area in my Sea of Consciousness is hiding."
"Very well, may you seek your own fortune."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler gave Wei Chen a deep look. With a wave of his hand, Wei Chen found that the scenery around him had completely changed.
The Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy were still at the peak of Soul Beast Mountain, completely unaware that Wei Chen and the old man had vanished without a trace.
"Truly worthy of being someone who can contend against the Ancient World Emperor; such strength is beyond what I can even imagine," the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler revealed his power, leaving Red Boy astonished.
The Demon Lotus Emperor added, "Indeed very strong. It seems he possesses not only formidable Mental Strength but also a high Warrior Realm; it's just that we can't perceive it."
"A person who has lived for millions of years can cultivate even if they move slowly."
"Red Boy, do you think Wei Chen will make it through this time?"
"It is very difficult, but there is still hope. Since that senior chose him, it proves that Wei Chen indeed has the potential to inherit all of his Mental Strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so long."
Upon hearing Red Boy's explanation, the Demon Lotus Emperor revealed a bitter smile and said, "You should quickly solidify your physical form. If Wei Chen succeeds, the challenges we will face next will be even more intense."
"Understood."
Both the Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy were filled with confidence. The terrifying Mental Strength of the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler deeply shocked them. From that old man, they saw hope—the potential of a solidified Mental Strength body was limitless!
...
Wei Chen looked around; the surroundings were filled with red Lava Flow. In the deep ravines, Magma flowed slowly, causing the temperature to soar. The air was thick with a fiery scent, and Wei Chen calmly endured the high heat and unpleasant gases.
He did not show any signs of surprise and thought to himself, "Is this the depths of Soul Beast Mountain? That old man's Warrior Realm is extraordinarily high. Both I and the Demon Lotus Emperor misjudged him; we thought he only had strong Mental Strength and little combat ability."
"Child, this is indeed the depths of Soul Beast Mountain. Further down, past the Magma layer, lies the location of the divine artifact Refining Demon Pot. My strength cannot reach there, but the Great Beings of the Ancient World can do so effortlessly. That Refining Demon Pot is crucial to the survival of Soul Beast Mountain and also relates to the fate of the demon realm. If your strength is sufficient, you can go down and retrieve the Refining Demon Pot."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler looked at Wei Chen with a somewhat strange expression.
Wei Chen understood deeply that the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler was testing him.
He smiled lightly and said, "Senior, I already have Reprint; I am not particularly interested in the Refining Demon Pot."
Upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's face. What he feared most was inviting trouble into their midst while ultimately failing to protect Soul Beast Mountain.
Wei Chen looked at the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler and frowned. "But senior, even if I inherit your Mental Strength and succeed in repelling the Great Beings of the Ancient World, won't they invite more people to come? At that time, I would definitely be unable to withstand it."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler sighed and said, "I have considered this as well. If such an extreme situation arises, Soul Beast Mountain will surely perish. At that point, you should take the Refining Demon Pot and flee."
Hearing the words of the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler, Wei Chen felt a bit more at ease. This old man was not entirely using him to guard Soul Beast Mountain; in desperate situations, he could still be flexible.
"I hope that situation doesn't arise," Wei Chen said.
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler nodded. "At least for the next hundred years, it won't happen. About ten years from now, the powerful beings from the Ancient World will come again. As long as you repel them, the next wave of attacks will be a hundred years away, or even further."
"Why?" Wei Chen frowned and asked.
"It's simple. Even the Great Beings from the Ancient World possess tremendous power, and traversing space is extremely difficult and costly. It takes a long time to prepare for a round trip. Time and space are the most powerful forces in all realms."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen nodded thoughtfully. Once one masters time and space, they become truly invincible. He already had the rudiments of time and space within him, possessing a nascent Spatial Plane; he was already ahead of the game. He firmly believed that given enough time, anything was possible.
"Senior, why did you bring me here?"
"To focus your mind. Here, even if you are struck dumb, with the aura released by the Refining Demon Pot, you will be reborn as a creature similar to those of Soul Beast Mountain."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler looked at Wei Chen with a grin, causing Wei Chen to shudder. He would rather die than become one of those soulless Soul Beasts.
"Let's get started; it's all or nothing," Wei Chen urged.
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler chuckled. "Weren't you very resistant at first? Why have you suddenly become so calm now?"
"What can I do if I'm not calm? I've already made my choice; there's no turning back. Besides, I'm quite curious about what that Gray Area in my Sea of Consciousness really is," Wei Chen replied.
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler became serious. "Then listen carefully: if you can endure for just one minute, you'll succeed. If not, then wait here to become a Soul Beast. There's nothing I can do; once I transmit my Mental Strength to you, I will die immediately."
"Senior, you're also serious," Wei Chen said solemnly to the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler before sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing his eyes.
His consciousness was fully concentrated in the Sea of Consciousness, carefully perceiving everything within it.
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler stood beside Wei Chen, squinting as he scrutinized him, thinking to himself, "This fellow, although difficult to persuade, is undeniably a good man with flesh and blood. He must have had many shackles that made him reluctant at the beginning."
Suddenly, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler felt a twinge of hesitation. Previously, it was Wei Chen who hesitated; now it was his turn.
"If he dies, I die too. The Soul Beast Mountain will be doomed, and those he cares about will also perish."
"However, transporting Mental Strength in batches is not feasible; it would consume too much and ultimately be unable to withstand the Great Being from the Ancient World."
With this thought, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's heart wavered.
"Child, actually your suggestion has some potential," the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler suddenly spoke.
Wei Chen asked, "What suggestion?"
"Separately transporting Mental Strength will not pose any threat to you," the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler replied.
Hearing this, Wei Chen's eyes lit up. He raised his head and looked earnestly at the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler, frowning as he asked, "Then why can't you do it?"
"I can't because there are inherent doubts about this matter. Transporting Mental Strength to you in batches would take a significant toll on me. In the end, when the Great Being from the Ancient World arrives, your Mental Strength won't be strong enough to resist," the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler expressed his concerns.
After listening to the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's explanation, Wei Chen lowered his head again.
Moments later, he lifted his head once more, his gaze resolute as he looked at the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler and said, "Stop hesitating. If I die, I die. There’s no turning back; I won’t regret it."
Seeing Wei Chen's determined eyes, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler sighed deeply and then no longer hesitated. He placed his right hand on Wei Chen's forehead.
A surge of pure, intense Mental Strength rushed into Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
Wei Chen held his breath, focusing as he prepared for the moment.
He "saw" a white mist, almost liquid in form, flowing vigorously into his Sea of Consciousness.
Fortunately, the Sea of Consciousness was wide enough to accommodate it completely.
In fact, there wasn't even a hint of pain.
"How does it feel, my child?" the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler asked.
Wei Chen replied, "I don't feel anything."
"This is only one percent of the transmission rate; soon it will be ten percent. Get ready."
With that, Wei Chen felt the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler accelerate the transmission of Mental Strength into his Sea of Consciousness by tenfold!
A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
The pain from deep within his soul made his head throb intensely.
"Can you still endure this?" the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler asked calmly.
Wei Chen slightly parted his lips and growled, "Bring it on!"
"Very well!"
In an instant, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler unleashed his full power, amplifying the transmission of Mental Strength tenfold!
Wei Chen felt a torrent of primal energy crashing violently into his Sea of Consciousness, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably under the force.
The vast expanse of Mental Strength surged forward like a destructive wave, crashing into the Sea of Consciousness. Wei Chen gritted his teeth, enduring a pain that would incapacitate any ordinary person.
Anyone else would have succumbed to the agony and fainted.
But Wei Chen keenly sensed that within his Dantian, the Demon Lotus Heart suddenly awakened at this moment.
The pure aura of the Demon Lotus emanated from his Dantian, coursing through his meridians straight into the Sea of Consciousness.
When the primal torrent encountered the Demon Lotus aura, it was as if a rugged man had laid eyes on an unparalleled beauty; he instinctively relaxed, significantly diminishing the impact.
Seeing Wei Chen still holding on, the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler felt a sense of relief deep within.
"This kid has quite a strong will. He can endure this speed, but I wonder if his Sea of Consciousness can handle it," the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler thought to himself.
The process of transmitting Mental Strength was excruciating for both Wei Chen and the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler. Wei Chen endured the impact while the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler suffered through the painful separation of his own Mental Strength to pass it on to Wei Chen. The agony of that separation was something even the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler could not remain calm about.
Sweat poured down from the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's forehead like rain, and his face grew increasingly pale.
Meanwhile, after enduring an overwhelming amount of Mental Strength, Wei Chen's complexion turned red as tiny beads of blood began to seep out continuously.
