Wei Chen hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Master of the Hall, you all should have an idea of what to do next regarding the Temple of Martial Arts. Why ask me?"
"We should at least hear your thoughts. You are now the Chief Administrator of the Temple of Martial Arts. You need to understand that being the Chief Administrator is not just a title; you should be involved in the important matters of the Temple," the Golden Spear Elder Master said calmly.
Wei Chen replied, "Alright then, here are my thoughts. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming watched as the Thunder Sword Sect merged into the Temple of Martial Arts, significantly expanding our influence. However, the Supreme Deity has no means to counter this at the moment. In this critical juncture, he cannot find a way to weaken us. But as for the expansion of the Temple of Martial Arts, it should stop here for now. At least under the current circumstances, we cannot continue to expand."
"There can't be two tigers on one mountain. The Supreme Deity can tolerate us for now, but if we continue to expand, that tolerance will run out. What happens then is uncertain. The Temple of Martial Arts has absorbed the Thunder Sword Sect and should stabilize for a while," Wei Chen stated.
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Golden Spear Elder Master and Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, nodded in agreement. Wei Chen's suggestions aligned with their own thoughts. The rapid expansion of the Temple of Martial Arts had reached a point where stabilization was necessary; continuing further would pose risks.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's congratulatory letter was already a hint; if we continued to expand and threatened his position, things could get troublesome.
The so-called negotiation was something everyone understood implicitly; Chief Administrator Wei Chen's few words set the tone for their actions. This also demonstrated how much the Temple of Martial Arts valued Wei Chen; whenever significant matters arose, they would seek his counsel.
In the following days, the Temple of Martial Arts gradually got back on track, proceeding with their training as usual. The young disciples from the Thunder Sword Sect began to integrate into the family of the Temple of Martial Arts without any discrimination; they were treated equally with the original members.
Meanwhile, Shaohuang God King officially took Zuo Leng and Zhang Yuqing as his disciples. With their names disappearing from the roster of the Temple of Martial Arts, they were no longer considered part of it. The disciples felt it was a pity that two talented individuals like Zhang Yuqing and Zuo Leng had left; they believed it was a loss for the Temple and detrimental to its future development. However, those in higher positions thought differently. Once these two cultivated to great heights or even reached the level of Minor Sword God in swordsmanship, their contributions to the Temple would be even greater. If trouble arose for the Temple of Martial Arts, would they not come back to help?
Moreover, given the current situation, it was unlikely that trouble would arise for the Temple anytime soon. Thus, allowing Zhang Yuqing and Zuo Leng better opportunities for growth did not cause any heartache among the higher-ups. They held onto a vague hope that Zhang Yuqing and Zuo Leng would eventually return to the Temple; by then, each could establish their own unique path in sword cultivation—what could be better than that?
Even if they never returned, Shaohuang God King had become a potential ally for the Temple; in times of crisis, he would lend his support.
Shaohuang God King took Zhang Yuqing and Zuo Leng deep into Snow Ridge Mountains for cultivation where no one could find them. Meanwhile, Donghua and others were treated lavishly by the Temple of Martial Arts and revered like deities. Wei Chen secluded himself to practice Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, striving to enhance his Divine Power realm without stepping outside his door or giving anyone a chance to find him.
He knew that if he went out and encountered Zhang Shi, he would be entangled in efforts to promote his daughter...
Wei Chen was indeed interested in Zhang Yuchu; the allure of her Primordial Force Bloodline was no joke. Yet because of this interest, he found it hard to face Zhang Yuchu directly. He couldn't discern whether his attraction stemmed from her bloodline or from her own charm.
Feeling guilty about approaching Zhang Yuchu merely for her powerful lineage made him uncomfortable; even thinking about it was unbearable—let alone acting on it. Perhaps if Killing God Senior hadn't said so much to Wei Chen, he might have been drawn to Zhang Yuchu's beauty and figure alone. But after Killing God Senior's reminders, Wei Chen found it hard to let go.
"How powerful is the Primordial Force Bloodline? It still can't compare to my Demon Lotus Bloodline!"
If Wei Chen's Demon Lotus Bloodline can withstand the attraction of Zhang Yuchu's Primordial Force Bloodline, it proves that Wei Chen's power is indeed stronger than Zhang Yuchu's. Since that is the case, there is no need for Zhang Yuchu's Primordial Force Bloodline; it's all about fate.
Wei Chen felt that, given the current situation, there was no connection between him and Zhang Yuchu; they were simply not on the same path.
Since there was no connection, why force it?
...
Inside the Base of Zhang Vice Hall Master, in an elegantly decorated room, Zhang Shi sat cross-legged while Zhang Yuchu stood beside him, saying calmly, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."
"Is it about Wei Chen?" Zhang Shi asked with a cheerful smile.
Zhang Yuchu nodded and replied, "Yes."
A father knows his daughter well. Recently, all of Zhang Yuchu's thoughts had been focused on Wei Chen. If she came to talk to Zhang Shi, it must be about Wei Chen.
Zhang Shi smiled and said, "So what have you discovered?"
"Father, I've noticed that Wei Chen's soul aura does not fully integrate with his body. Although this incompatibility does not affect him personally, it proves that he is not the Wei Chen from Duke Sui's Residence," Zhang Yuchu explained lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shi was not particularly surprised. He said softly, "I had already guessed this without you mentioning it. If he were Sui Guo Gong Fu Wei Chen, how could he possibly harm Wei Yong? After all, that's his elder brother; it's impossible. I suspect that a powerful soul has transferred into the useless Wei Chen from Duke Sui's Residence."
"But this is all speculation. Even if it's true, we should keep it to ourselves and not let anyone else know about this delicate matter. I trust you understand," Zhang Shi said calmly.
Zhang Yuchu replied, "I understand; I just have some questions."
"What questions do you have?" Zhang Shi asked lightly.
Zhang Yuchu said, "What I can't understand is, if Wei Chen really has undergone a soul transfer, then where does his combat power come from?"
"And the Divine Realm? How did that come about? Those things rely on the body and Dantian, not hidden within the soul," Zhang Yuchu frowned and asked.
Zhang Shi thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure either; perhaps there are some secret techniques involved."
As they conversed, they were completely unaware that a strand of Mental Strength was lurking in Zhang Shi's room, eavesdropping on their entire conversation.
That strand of Mental Strength naturally belonged to Wei Chen, who had a keen interest in Zhang Yuchu. No one else possessed such powerful Mental Strength to eavesdrop unnoticed.
"Body and soul? Heh." Wei Chen chuckled to himself. His soul was entirely that of the Demon Domain Wei Chen, while his body had been embedded using a strange secret technique, similar to an embedding process, placing his true self's body into the shell of Sui Guo Gong Fu Wei Chen. His True God World and bloodline powers were all derived from his true body's attributes, while Sui Guo Gong Fu Wei Chen merely provided a shell that prevented the powerful beings within the Endless Divine Realm from recognizing Wei Chen's true form.
By now, the usefulness of that shell had become quite limited. At an opportune moment, Wei Chen planned to abandon that shell and return it to the pitiful waste known as Duke Sui's Residence Wei Chen within his True God World. Of course, even after returning the body to that useless individual, Wei Chen would not let him go. On one hand, it was for his own safety; on the other hand, it was to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, it was also for the safety of the useless Wei Chen. Once that useless Wei Chen was out in the world, he would have no means of self-defense and would be in a dire situation.
Despite being at the Secondary God realm, that useless Wei Chen meant little in the Endless Divine Realm. In this realm, a Secondary God was considered a low-level existence—essentially someone who couldn't defeat anyone. Their combat power would only manifest after leaving the Endless Divine Realm; within it, even a strong individual would be reduced to one of the lowest tiers under its oppressive force.
Those Boundary Gods who cultivated from other Spatial Planes were akin to ordinary civilians within the Endless Divine Realm—nothing special and easily bullied.
At this thought, an image of Senior Sea God suddenly swirled in Wei Chen's mind. Without Senior Sea God and without obtaining Senior Sea God's Heart of the God, he wouldn't have progressed so smoothly in the Endless Divine Realm.
"Senior Sea God, wait for me a bit longer. I promised to find you a Third-Level Deity's Heart of the God, but now my goal has changed. A Third-Level Deity's Heart of the God is practically useless; what I want to offer you is a supreme God-Level Heart of the God!"
Wei Chen then recalled Zhang Yuchu’s intention to "report" him to Zhang Shi and felt a twinge of unease.
"That woman has strong sensing abilities due to her Primordial Force Bloodline. If this continues, it could be detrimental for me. What if she goes mad one day and spills my secrets?"
"That would definitely lead to trouble."
There were two options: one was to kill Zhang Yuchu, but Wei Chen couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. Inexplicably, how could he just kill someone at random?
Another way to ensure safety was to make Zhang Yuchu his woman; after all, a woman of his own would naturally keep his secrets.
Thinking this, Wei Chen sighed, "It seems that from any angle, making Zhang Yuchu my woman is necessary."
"Perhaps this thought of mine is also influenced by the allure of Zhang Yuchu's Primordial Force Bloodline?"
Wei Chen felt somewhat confused.
At that moment, two incredibly powerful presences suddenly appeared above the Temple of Martial Arts.
No one but Wei Chen could sense these two auras.
Even Ancestor Xu Elder and Golden Spear Elder Master lacked the mental strength to detect them.
In an instant, Wei Chen vanished from his spot and soared into the sky, hundreds of thousands of meters above the Temple of Martial Arts.
There stood the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming alongside a seemingly laid-back middle-aged man.
"Wei Chen, your mental strength is truly impressive! We just arrived and haven't done anything yet, yet you sensed our presence," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with a grin.
Wei Chen furrowed his brow and remained silent. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming gestured to the man beside him and said, "Let me introduce you; this is Ying Qin Supreme Deity from Winning the Qin Divine Realm, here specifically to pay you a visit."
