The Demon Lotus Emperor calmly said, "In the Nine Immortal Realm, after reaching the peak of the Holy Element Realm at the twenty-second level, one enters a unique stage of the Nine Immortal Realm, absorbing spiritual energy from within it. This process begins from foundation building all the way to becoming an Immortal Emperor, which is a formidable cultivation system. However, in the Demon Domain, there is no such spiritual energy, so the cultivation methods of the Nine Immortal Realm are definitely not applicable."
After a pause, the Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "The Nine Immortal Realm and the Demon Domain have fought for many years; they are quite aware of each other's cultivation methods. In the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm of the Demon Domain, there are also people from the Nine Immortal Realm cultivating. Yet, the cultivation system of the Nine Immortal Realm is something that those from the Demon Domain cannot practice. Comparatively, people from the Demon Domain have stronger physiques, while those from the Nine Immortal Realm tend to be weaker. However, they have more options available to them that those from the Demon Domain cannot match."
"So, people from the Nine Immortal Realm can cultivate in our Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm, but we from the Demon Domain cannot practice the cultivation system of the Nine Immortal Realm?" Wei Chen said in disbelief. It seemed that the Demon Domain was at a significant disadvantage.
The Demon Lotus Emperor nodded and replied, "That's exactly how it is. The Nine Immortal Realm has a considerable advantage, but you in the Demon Domain are not lacking either. Your robust physicality and fierce temperament are qualities that the Nine Immortal Realm does not possess. In a real fight, neither side would have a clear advantage."
"But isn't the Demon Domain fragmented? Wouldn't we lose to the Nine Immortal Realm?" Wei Chen said lightly.
The Demon Lotus Emperor smirked and said, "Do you think the Nine Immortal Realm is very united? Let me tell you, their factions are much more complicated than those in the Demon Domain. There are only three Major Forces in our domain, while there are six top factions in the Nine Immortal Realm. If we're talking about disunity, then the Nine Immortal Realm is far 'stronger' than us."
Hearing this, Wei Chen felt somewhat reassured. However, he still had not achieved his purpose for seeking out the Demon Lotus Emperor.
"The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm involves thirteen kinds of emotions and desires. Do you have any suggestions?" Wei Chen asked.
He provided a detailed introduction of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm to the Demon Lotus Emperor. After hesitating for a moment, the Demon Lotus Emperor replied calmly, "I don't have much concept of it, but I can give you one piece of advice: staying in one place to cultivate is not enough. You must bravely venture out into the world and experience some things to gain insight. Simply relying on deep contemplation will not work at all. Go out, experience life, endure hardships; only then can you truly grow."
What the Demon Lotus Emperor was saying was quite simple. Long-term isolation for cultivation might work at earlier stages, but when it comes to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm, it's an entirely different concept. This realm requires understanding through experience and exposure rather than being closed off. You can never build a truly good vehicle by just working behind closed doors.
Cultivation in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm necessitates stepping outside.
Wei Chen nodded and asked, "Where can we go in the Demon Domain?"
"As long as you're still within Black Magic Clan territory, there shouldn't be any issues. Given your relationship with the Dark Demon Princess, visiting her clan would also be fine," said the Demon Lotus Emperor.
Wei Chen fell silent for a moment before suddenly suggesting, "Demon Lotus Emperor, how about we go to the Endless Sea?"
"Endless Sea? That's actually a good choice. The Endless Sea in the Demon Realm is quite a remarkable place."
"What's this? Are you familiar with the Endless Sea in the Demon Realm?" Wei Chen looked at the Demon Lotus Emperor with curiosity. Logically, he shouldn't know where the Endless Sea was, and Wei Chen was ready to explain.
The Demon Lotus Emperor smiled lightly. "Heh, do you think everyone is as inexperienced as you?"
After a pause, the Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "When I was in Hua Xia World, I already knew some things about the Demon Realm. Just like the Nine Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm also has an Endless Sea. Compared to that, the Endless Sea in the Demon Realm is truly a prosperous place. After all, the Endless Sea in the Nine Immortal Realm is filled with all sorts of strange beasts. In contrast, the Endless Sea in the Demon Realm is home to real humans."
"The Sea Tribe is also a branch of humanity. The overall strength of the Demon Realm is actually stronger than that of the Nine Immortal Realm. It's just that the Sea Tribe in the Endless Sea doesn't get along well with your Three Great Clans. Otherwise, if they united, they could pose a significant threat to the Nine Immortal Realm."
"Just think about it; the power of the Sea Tribe in the Endless Sea is nearly equivalent to that of your Three Great Clans combined. That kind of strength is no joke. Once you unite, I can assure you that even the Nine Immortal Realm would not be your match. But that situation never worries the Nine Immortal Realm because the Sea Tribe only sees your Three Great Clans as resource suppliers."
"Resource suppliers?" Wei Chen found this term somewhat amusing; it was indeed an odd label.
The Demon Lotus Emperor replied, "Naturally, they are resource suppliers. When disasters strike and food becomes scarce in the Endless Sea, they will surely think about coming to your Demon Realm for a visit, right? It's their habit to casually take some things when they come."
The Demon Lotus Emperor's explanation left Wei Chen feeling quite frustrated. While his words were rough, they held a grain of truth; it seemed that was indeed how the Sea Tribe viewed things.
The climate in the Demon Realm was generally mild across its vast lands, but it was different in the Endless Sea, where disastrous weather occurred almost every eleven years. Such situations were hard to predict. When food ran out, they naturally resorted to plundering on land.
The Three Great Clans suffered greatly from this and had to deploy large armies to guard against incursions within ten thousand miles of their coastal areas.
Of course, within ten thousand miles of the coastline lived many tribes that were essentially cannon fodder; whenever the Sea Tribe raided on land, they became sacrifices. The reality was harsh; weaker beings would always suffer oppression. Survival of the fittest is a natural law. Without strength, it was incredibly difficult to establish oneself in such a cruel world.
The Demon Lotus Emperor understood more about the Endless Sea in the Demon Realm than Wei Chen did. In his previous life in Hua Xia World, he had been a formidable figure; even in the Nine Immortal Realm, he was renowned and ranked just below those at the level of Immortal Emperors. He knew many secrets that others did not.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Demon Lotus Emperor, will you come with me?"
Wei Chen was eager for the Demon Lotus Emperor to join him. After all, some tasks became much simpler when someone accompanied him. Especially with someone as knowledgeable as the Demon Lotus Emperor.
The Demon Lotus Emperor smiled and replied, "Of course I will go. Staying in the Black Magic Palace to condense the Time Martial Soul has no future. Only by going out can I seek opportunities to gather the Time Martial Soul."
"Then let's not delay any longer; shall we leave now?" Wei Chen felt a sense of urgency. The higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan had given him little time. To prove his talent and potential, he needed to make some sacrifices. Two words: breakthrough—an all-out breakthrough.
The Demon Lotus Emperor thought for a moment and nodded, "We can leave anytime, but I suggest you find some bodyguards first. Otherwise, if we encounter a formidable opponent, our current strength won't be enough; we could be taken down in one blow. Your grandfather surely wouldn't allow you to recklessly head to the Endless Sea."
Wei Chen considered this but had never liked the idea of hiring bodyguards. How could he grow stronger if he was being protected?
The Demon Lotus Emperor looked at Wei Chen with a strange expression and said, "Wei Chen, have you thought about going to Soul Beast Mountain for some help? You inherited the Mental Strength of the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler, which gives you command over the Soul Beasts within Soul Beast Mountain. If you bring along some powerful Soul Beasts, it would give us an advantage against strong opponents in the demon realm."
Hearing this, Wei Chen's face lit up. Instead of hiring bodyguards, he could gather countless allies who would fully obey his commands.
Wei Chen was rapidly absorbing the Mental Strength left by the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler; it wouldn't be long before he absorbed it all. In the demon realm, with that formidable Mental Strength, once he unleashed it, no one would be able to withstand it. Even a Demon Emperor or someone of that caliber from the Black Magic Clan would not be his match.
The Great Xia Divine King understood clearly that relying solely on Mental Strength was insufficient to navigate the Ancient World. However, that was only true in the Ancient World; within the demon realm, such powerful Mental Strength could easily crush anyone without pressure.
Wei Chen was filled with confidence, but given his current strength, his Mental Strength was still insufficient to suppress the hierarchy of powerful beings in the demon realm. Thus, he needed to find allies.
If he sought help from Dark Mages, they could certainly dispatch many strong protectors. However, with war looming, Wei Chen did not want to trouble the Dark Mages; finding allies on his own would be best. Moreover, help sent by Dark Mages might not respect Wei Chen's wishes and could hinder him by imposing restrictions on where he could go.
Therefore, it was best for him to seek allies himself.
The Soul Beasts on Soul Beast Mountain were just right.
At the same level, a single Soul Beast could not defeat a strong warrior from the Demon Realm; it would take five of them to kill an equally ranked opponent.
The Soul Beasts on Soul Beast Mountain were countless, available in any quantity one desired.
After discussing with the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen suddenly thought that perhaps he could use the Soul Beasts within Soul Beast Mountain to deal with the Dragon Clan. However, upon considering the disastrous consequences, Wei Chen dismissed that idea. After all, using Soul Beasts against ordinary humans was a highly unethical act. He might provoke public outrage across the continent, which would only backfire on him.
Let the Three Great Clans continue their war through their own armies; Wei Chen did not want to get involved.
Wei Chen found the Dark Mage and shared his thoughts. As expected, the Dark Mage firmly opposed the idea of venturing into the dangerous Endless Sea.
As Wei Chen's grandfather and being the last heir of the Dark Magic Royal Family, the Dark Mage did not want to see Wei Chen take any risks, no matter how small.
"You cannot go. This matter is non-negotiable. What kind of place is the Endless Sea? It is a forbidden zone for humans! Our people from the Three Great Clans have never ventured into the Endless Sea. If you actively go there and are killed by the Sea Tribe, we would have no justification to seek revenge. Moreover, finding the Sea Tribe in that vast ocean to take revenge is easier said than done."
"Child, I can agree to any request you make, but this matter is off-limits. I will not assign you any guards."
The Dark Mage was resolute; he simply would not allow it. Sending his only grandson into the Endless Sea was tantamount to seeking death.
If the Dark Mage had many grandchildren, perhaps there could be room for negotiation. But in reality, there were none. If anything happened to Wei Chen, the Dark Magic Royal Family would face extinction, and chaos would ensue within the Black Magic Clan as well.
