Previously, Wei Chen's Mental Strength was unable to probe into the Gray Area. On one hand, this was because his Mental Strength was not yet powerful enough. However, in such a short period, his Mental Strength had limited improvement and he had not yet begun to refine and absorb the Mental Strength of the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder. Therefore, it was not due to an increase in his Mental Strength.
The Mental Strength of the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder was incredibly powerful, yet it could not penetrate the interior of that Gray Area!
On the other hand, the formidable barriers of the Gray Area made it nearly impossible to investigate. Just moments ago, the barrier had been weakened by the mingling of the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's Mental Strength with the aura of the Demon Lotus, which allowed Wei Chen to probe into the Gray Area.
After all, it was something within his Sea of Consciousness, so it did not reject his Mental Strength as much.
Wei Chen's Mental Strength gradually entered the Gray Area.
As soon as he broke through the barrier of the Gray Area, Wei Chen was astonished to find that the area within was boundless!
His Mental Strength spread out vigorously, extending thousands of miles without reaching the edge of the Gray Area!
This meant that the area of the Gray Area was several times larger than that of the external Sea of Consciousness! It bore no pressure from the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's Mental Strength at all.
Wei Chen thought to himself, "No wonder after breaking through into the Gray Area, I felt little pain; this place can accommodate a Mental Strength equivalent to ten Soul Beast Mountain Rulers!"
"If I consider this area as part of my Sea of Consciousness, then my Sea of Consciousness would be more than ten times stronger than that of the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder!"
Wei Chen was startled by his own thoughts. A typical person's Sea of Consciousness with a radius of ten miles is already considered vast. However, if his Sea of Consciousness included the Gray Area, its size was unimaginably immense!
This kind of vastness was not just large; it was incomprehensibly enormous!
If the Demon Lotus Emperor were to see how expansive Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness was, even someone as proud as him would likely feel compelled to submit and worship Wei Chen.
In a world where strength is revered, as long as one is strong enough, there are no issues—one will earn admiration from all. The Demon Lotus Emperor had always treated Wei Chen fairly well, but true respect had never been present. Even though Wei Chen possessed an Ancient Bloodline, the Demon Lotus Emperor had scoffed at it since Wei Chen's strength was still weak.
However, the area of one's Sea of Consciousness determines a person's future. Judging solely by the area of Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness, he appeared immensely powerful.
Moreover, within Wei Chen's Dantian, there were already vague signs of a Spatial Plane taking shape; these were all part of Wei Chen's potential.
In comparison, things like Magic Stone Space were insignificant.
"One must understand what exactly is hidden within the Gray Area. The sheer size alone would not instill fear in the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's Mental Strength. Such powerful Mental Strength—what could it possibly fear? At the very least, it must surpass the strength of the Ancient World’s Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
Wei Chen thought to himself, carefully receiving the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's Mental Strength while cautiously controlling his own as he ventured deeper into the Gray Area.
He was so focused on his exploration that he failed to notice how the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's presence was becoming increasingly faint, nearly reaching its limit.
Inside the Gray Area, vast and boundless, Wei Chen's Mental Strength roamed, delving deeper into its depths.
The progress of his Mental Strength exploration was swift. Moments later, Wei Chen's Mental Strength had traversed several thousand miles within the Gray Area. He did not see any boundaries but instead encountered a mountain range, rugged and towering with bizarre rock formations!
On that mountain range, Wei Chen sensed an unusual aura.
A majestic and imposing presence emanated from the mountains. Faintly, Wei Chen felt that what the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder feared was precisely this aura coming from the mountain range!
This aura was unlike anything Wei Chen had ever encountered. When his Mental Strength reached the mountains, it could advance no further; even getting close was impossible.
The aura from the mountains did not evoke fear in him; rather, it stirred a subtle sense of familiarity deep within him.
It felt as if there was a connection to his own bloodline on those mountains.
Yet his Mental Strength halted under the pressure of the mountain's aura, seemingly out of both caution and respect; in any case, it came to a standstill.
"What is this thing?"
"How can there be a mountain range within the Sea of Consciousness?"
"Isn't the Sea of Consciousness supposed to be flat and untroubled?"
"Outside, the Sea of Consciousness is filled with a smooth haze everywhere; why does a mountain range inexplicably appear in the Gray Area?"
Wei Chen couldn't comprehend it. The Sea of Consciousness is typically flat for everyone; every person's Sea of Consciousness is uniform in its flatness. The appearance of a mountainous landscape within it was utterly beyond his understanding—it seemed like a miracle!
"On that mountain range, something appears familiar yet keeps me at bay. What could that possibly mean?"
Wei Chen couldn't understand why his Mental Strength was hindered as he approached the mountains. The gentle obstruction made him feel relaxed rather than uncomfortable.
For the first time in his life, he found himself stopped by an aura that brought him comfort instead of distress. This was truly a peculiar occurrence for Wei Chen.
His Mental Strength lingered before the mountain range, and gradually, he sensed a hint of probing energy.
Yes, probing!
Someone was silently watching him!
The thought sent a chill down Wei Chen's spine. Was there someone else's presence within his Sea of Consciousness?
Previously, he could clearly feel the presence of the Demon Lotus Emperor within his Sea of Consciousness, but now that the Demon Lotus Emperor was gone, who could this probing consciousness belong to?
Gathering his courage, Wei Chen stood at the foot of the majestic mountains and cupped his fists in greeting, saying calmly, "I do not know who you are, residing within my Sea of Consciousness. If it is convenient for you, I would appreciate a chance to meet."
After a moment of silence, with no response forthcoming, Wei Chen controlled his Mental Strength to retreat.
The probing aura continued to watch him leave without any indication.
As Wei Chen's Mental Strength returned to the underground space, he noticed that the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's infusion of Mental Strength was gradually slowing down.
He glanced back and was startled to find that the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder's body was nearly gone. After shedding too much Mental Strength, the body formed from it would eventually disappear.
Wei Chen finally understood the true meaning of the complete disappearance of the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder.
"My child, I will transfer all my Mental Strength to you immediately. The rest of the journey is yours to walk. Within ten years, you must completely refine and absorb my Mental Strength; otherwise, when the powerful beings from the Ancient World arrive, you will not be able to withstand them."
Seeing Wei Chen, who was lost in thought, finally look at him, the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder spoke calmly.
"Alright, I will do my utmost," Wei Chen nodded.
He looked at the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
At this point, he held no resentment towards the Soul Beast Mountain King Elder. A Peerless Strongman was giving him a portion of the Mental Strength he had cultivated over millions of years and would soon die…
Such sentiment, even for the sake of protecting Soul Beast Mountain, earned Wei Chen's deep respect.
"My child, if you can find a way to explore that Gray Area within your Sea of Consciousness, you should do so. My Mental Strength fears that Gray Area; what lies hidden there may be good or bad for you—no one can say for certain."
"When you reach great heights in your cultivation, do not forget your responsibility: to guard Soul Beast Mountain. That Refining Demon Pot must remain buried beneath Soul Beast Mountain; without it, Soul Beast Mountain will cease to exist. I hope you keep your word."
The elder's tone was somber, his gaze dimmed, and his body began to fade until it was nearly indistinguishable.
Wei Chen nodded heavily. He had long since promised the elder and would never go back on his word.
A man must fulfill his promises. Moreover, Wei Chen had received immense favors from the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler.
"I am about to leave. With my last bit of strength, I will send you out."
The elder gazed deeply at Wei Chen for a moment before his fading form suddenly vanished. Wei Chen felt a gentle force enveloping him, and in the next instant, he found himself at the summit of Soul Beast Mountain.
The Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy were relieved when they saw Wei Chen appear.
"Wei Chen, are you alright?" The Demon Lotus Emperor approached Wei Chen with a smile after examining him closely.
Wei Chen shot a disdainful glance at the Demon Lotus Emperor and replied, "You were hoping something happened to me, weren't you?"
"What are you talking about? Hahaha, we're all happy that you made it out safely. But honestly, it was quite unexpected; we thought you'd come out half-dead. Even if you succeeded, you must have lost half your life in the process."
The Demon Lotus Emperor clicked his tongue in amazement, while Wei Chen appeared to be in excellent condition, showing no signs of any issues.
"With a Sea of Consciousness as vast as mine, enduring ten times the Mental Strength is no trouble at all," Wei Chen said calmly.
The Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed, "Ten times? Stop bragging; you'll choke on it!"
"Believe it or not," Wei Chen replied.
Red Boy and the Demon Lotus Emperor didn't see the old man and knew in their hearts that the body formed from Mental Strength must have died after transferring all its Mental Strength to Wei Chen.
For a moment, both the Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy looked somewhat somber.
"Let's go; it's chaos outside."
Wei Chen called out, and Red Boy immediately returned to the Red Demon Armor. He hadn't fully solidified his body yet and couldn't risk being seen. The Demon Lotus Emperor had already formed his body and could follow Wei Chen.
Outside Soul Beast Mountain, the Dark Mage and Muen, along with high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan, as well as Ji Dingxuan, Ji Yuanxuan, and Ji Min from the Dark Demon Clan, stood on the Warship, gazing at Soul Beast Mountain from a distance.
"Why hasn't Wei Chen come out yet?" the Dark Mage thought anxiously. How long had it been?
