Wei Chen was at a loss for words; the Dark Mage's attitude was exactly as he had anticipated. If he were in the Dark Mage's position, would he agree to such a thing?
The answer was no; he wouldn't.
With a bitter smile, Wei Chen said, "Grandfather, if you don't let me go, how can I cultivate the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm? Staying in the Black Magic Palace without venturing out or experiencing passion, I won't understand how to cultivate the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm."
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm required exploration and understanding; hiding away in one place for secluded cultivation was absolutely not an option.
The Dark Mage understood this all too well.
Furrowing his brow, the Dark Mage replied, "I know that, but you still can't go to the Endless Sea. If you want to venture out, I'll allow you to go to the Dragon Clan's Beast Mountain to hunt magical beasts."
"That's not acceptable. What’s the point of hunting magical beasts?" Wei Chen shook his head.
"There’s another option. You can lead troops on the front lines or travel through the Dark Demon Clan; you can do whatever you want, but I warn you, you cannot get close to the Endless Sea—not even a step."
The Dark Mage looked at Wei Chen seriously; there was no room for negotiation on this matter. No matter what, he would not compromise.
As his only grandson, the best option for Wei Chen would be to indulge in a life of pleasure with a group of women. Even if he didn't study or cultivate hard, it wouldn't matter as long as he could frequently be around women.
As a concerned grandfather, the Dark Mage's only hope for Wei Chen was that he could live such a life of indulgence—a life that ordinary people could only dream of. Yet Wei Chen was unwilling to pursue it!
Wei Chen found himself in a dilemma; it seemed that the Dark Mage was resolute in not letting him go.
"Grandfather, I must go to the Endless Sea. Whatever conditions you have, just say them," Wei Chen insisted calmly.
The Dark Mage shook his head. "If I say no, then it's no."
"If I guarantee that there won't be any threats, would you agree?"
"You underestimate the power of the Endless Sea too much. Even I wouldn't dare to venture into the Endless Sea."
"Grandpa, I'm bringing tens of thousands of Soul Beasts from Soul Beast Mountain with me. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Mage was taken aback. "You can command the Soul Beasts from Soul Beast Mountain?"
"Yes, I am now the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler. The last Beast Tide was also stopped because I became the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler. There are actually a lot of Soul Beasts on Soul Beast Mountain, and they can't all be killed. However, I can't let them out to attack the Dragon Clan; that would make me a target. But attacking the Sea Tribe shouldn't be a problem. I want to go to the Sea Tribe for two reasons: one is to explore and see if I can find an opportunity to cultivate in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm, and the other is to help Soul Beast Mountain eliminate some of the excess numbers. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control them all; too many Soul Beasts will naturally lead to another Beast Tide."
Wei Chen thought for a moment but couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had to use this rather flimsy excuse.
The Dark Mage was silent for a moment. "So, you mean that just like the Demon Realm, Soul Beast Mountain needs external wars to consume its excess numbers?"
"Exactly. That's why I want to take some Soul Beasts to the Endless Sea. I can find opportunities to cultivate in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm, and Soul Beast Mountain can stabilize as well," Wei Chen explained.
The Dark Mage fell into silence.
At this point, Wei Chen truly had no better options.
He couldn't find any words of opposition. Wei Chen's reasoning was grandiose; even though it felt off, there was no room for rebuttal.
After pondering for a long time, the Black Demon Clan said, "Child, I have a few requirements. First, you must prove to me that you can truly control the Soul Beasts; secondly, you must prove that you have the ability to protect yourself. Otherwise, I will absolutely not let you take such risks."
"This is simple; let me show you the second one first," Wei Chen replied with a calm smile.
"The second one is simple? Ha ha! Child, although you've reached the peak of the Holy Demon Realm, in my eyes, you're still pitifully weak!"
As soon as the words left the Dark Mage's lips, his expression changed drastically.
He felt an overwhelming Mental Strength completely locking onto him.
It was as if his entire Sea of Consciousness was tightly bound by that Mental Strength.
Any slight movement would result in his Sea of Consciousness being crushed to pieces.
The Dark Mage looked at Wei Chen in terror and stammered, "Is this Mental Strength coming from you?"
"Of course, is there anyone else here?" Wei Chen replied with a proud smile.
The Black Demon Clan member exclaimed, "Your Mental Strength is surprisingly strong!"
"Naturally. If it weren't strong, how could I dare venture into the Endless Sea?" Wei Chen said, his demeanor exuding arrogance. The more he acted this way, the more reassured the Dark Mage felt.
Wei Chen suddenly began to reminisce about his days in the Soul World. Although he wasn't particularly powerful back then, at least he had freedom—he could do whatever he wanted. Now, with so many restrictions around him, even though he understood that the Dark Mage was concerned for his well-being, it still felt somewhat frustrating.
After a moment of contemplation, the Dark Mage asked, "Child, can you really command the Soul Beasts of Soul Beast Mountain?"
"That's simple. We'll just take a trip to Soul Beast Mountain, and everything will be clear then," Wei Chen replied casually.
"Alright, let's go to Soul Beast Mountain."
The Dark Mage nodded. What he meant was that as long as Wei Chen could control the Soul Beasts and truly gain the ability to protect himself in the Endless Sea, there would be no problem. As an elder, his greatest concern was safety. He had to consider Wei Chen's safety, especially since Wei Chen was his only heir; nothing could happen to him.
The Dark Mage took Wei Chen and flew swiftly toward Soul Beast Mountain. The Dark Mage's formidable strength allowed him to travel much faster than if they were on a Warship heading to Soul Beast Mountain.
Half an hour later, the Dark Mage and Wei Chen arrived at Soul Beast Mountain.
Under Wei Chen's guidance, the two made their way directly to the peak of the central mountain area of Soul Beast Mountain, where the most powerful Soul Beasts resided.
The Dark Mage expressed his unease, saying, "Child, don't be reckless. If those top-tier Soul Beasts attack us together, even if I were alone, I wouldn't be able to withstand them."
"Grandpa, why don't you trust me? The Soul Beasts here won't dare to do anything," Wei Chen replied with a smile. Just then, a group of high-level Soul Beasts began to surround them gradually.
"Grandpa, can you feel it?"
"Yes, there are many Soul Beasts, and their ranks are quite high."
The Black Demon Mianlu's expression turned serious as he felt a surge of tension. He began to gather his energy in preparation for a potential large-scale attack from the Soul Beasts.
Wei Chen remained calm and said, "Grandpa, they won't dare to attack. You can rest assured."
With a proud smile, Wei Chen released a wave of Mental Strength, causing the surrounding Soul Beasts to immediately prostrate themselves on the ground in reverence towards him.
Although the Dark Mage's Mental Strength was not particularly strong, as one of the top experts in the Demon Realm, he could clearly sense the actions of the Soul Beasts.
Seeing the high-level Soul Beasts kneeling before Wei Chen in worship, the Dark Mage was completely convinced.
"Child, I never expected that all of this was true."
"What else could it be?"
"I thought you were just making excuses to control the Soul Beasts and go to the Endless Sea."
The Dark Mage's thoughts were quite normal; in his eyes, someone like Wei Chen could do anything.
Wei Chen pouted and said, "Grandfather, I won't deceive you at all. I want to go out for a walk, not stay in the Black Magic Palace under your protection. That wouldn't benefit my cultivation at all. I've already reached the peak of the Holy Demon Realm, and in the Demon Domain, I can only cultivate in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm. There's no other way; I need to go out and find some inspiration."
Hearing this, the Dark Mage replied calmly, "Actually, I don't expect you to achieve great success in your cultivation. As long as you can help our Black Magic Clan carry on the lineage peacefully, I'll be satisfied. It's just that I'm worried about you in your current state; if you go to the Endless Sea, you might encounter danger. As an elder, I can't help but worry."
Wei Chen laughed and said, "Grandfather, I'm taking tens of thousands of powerful Soul Beasts with me to the Endless Sea. What is there to worry about? You should be more concerned about those from the Sea Tribe."
The Dark Mage sighed, "The strength of the Sea Tribe is not as simple as you think."
"But my Mental Strength can suppress you; can't it also suppress the strongest of the Sea Tribe? Besides, I'm only going to the edge of the Endless Sea; I won't even encounter their strongest members!"
"Alright then, I'll send some guards with you."
"No need. I want to rely on my own strength. Sending guards would only delay me."
"Sigh, do as you wish; there's nothing more I can do."
The Dark Mage chuckled bitterly a few times. He truly felt helpless against Wei Chen. What could he do? Wei Chen had made up his mind to leave and couldn't be held back.
"Grandfather, didn't you give me a month’s deadline? In that time, I will break through to the next realm; that's something I promised and will definitely accomplish. I'll be back in no more than a month."
Hearing this, the Dark Mage nodded and said, "Alright then, just keep that in mind. There are many matters at hand lately, so I can't accompany you."
"Grandfather, you're dreaming! Even if you wanted to come with me, would I let you?" Wei Chen said with a grin.
With no other choice, the Dark Mage brought Wei Chen back to the Black Magic Palace.
A few hours later, a medium-sized Warship, filled with supplies, set sail towards Soul Beast Mountain. Onboard the Warship, Wei Chen, the Demon Lotus Emperor, and Yan Qiqi were all in high spirits.
They were finally able to go out and "play." Not just Yan Qiqi, even the Demon Lotus Emperor was quite happy.
It is worth mentioning that in Wei Chen's plan, Yan Qiqi was not supposed to be one of those going to the Endless Sea. However, Yan Qiqi had somehow gotten wind of the news and insisted on tagging along with Wei Chen, leaving him with no choice.
"Yan Qiqi, how did you know I was going to the Endless Sea? Only my grandfather knows about it in the entire Black Magic Clan, right?"
As the Warship headed towards Soul Beast Mountain, Wei Chen looked at Yan Qiqi, who wore a joyful expression, and asked lightly.
Yan Qiqi shyly fidgeted and replied in a low voice, "My grandfather told me. He said you were going out to play and that I should go with you."
"Alright then, going out to play... it really is just going out to play!"
Wei Chen smiled wryly. He understood very well what the Dark Mage's intention was. In reality, the Dark Mage was worried that he would venture deep into the Endless Sea alone and get into danger. Having Yan Qiqi accompany him might not provide much help given her current strength, but it would prevent Wei Chen from taking unnecessary risks.
Thinking about the woman behind him, how could he still take risks?
The Dark Mage's strategy was indeed quite effective!
