"Do not try to question my decisions; I never joke about such matters. We are siblings born of the same mother. You are the Fourteenth Prince, and I am the First Princess. I will do my best to speak well of you to Father, but you must also work hard to strive for the position of First Prince. Father has been preparing for the tribulation in recent years, and it won't be long before he truly begins it. At that time, regardless of success or failure, he will no longer be able to continue as the Sea Monster Emperor. Don't you desire the throne?" Ji Mei said softly.
"What does the throne have to do with Wei Chen? Can he help us?" Ji Feng asked.
"Of course he can. If there were no benefits, would I give him a spot in the Penglai Secret Realm? The Sea Tribe's territory is vast, with over three thousand nobles competing for a spot in the Penglai Secret Realm. I only have one extra spot available. There's no need to explain too much right now; I can only tell you that a year ago, when I was at the Cloud Spirit Sect, Wei Chen had just condensed his first Spirit of the Heroic Soul, and now he is already at a high level in the Spirit Wisdom Realm."
"Sister, I advise you to think carefully. Wei Chen's strength is insufficient; once in the Penglai Secret Realm, he will become a burden to us," Ji Feng said helplessly, feeling frustrated. As the Fourteenth Prince, he had only one spot for the Penglai Secret Realm and could not bring anyone along. Ji Mei was favored by the Sea Demon Emperor and had an extra spot; she could have chosen a Peak Soul Realm Expert as her guard, but she chose Wei Chen instead. Wouldn't that be a hindrance once they entered the Penglai Secret Realm?
"He might have been decent in the Eastern Region, but what can he do in the Penglai Secret Realm? Sister, why waste such a precious spot on an illusory hope?"
"You don't understand; it's not illusory. The more you interact with Wei Chen and get familiar with him, the more it will help you when you compete for the position of Sea Demon Emperor," Ji Mei said seriously.
"Alright," Ji Feng replied with a bitter smile and nodded.
Ji Mei handed Wei Chen a token engraved with the characters for Penglai, which was their entry pass to the Penglai Secret Realm.
Wei Chen and Han Mang were treated as VIPs and given an independent villa to stay in.
Ji Feng warmly hosted Wei Chen and Han Mang, showing them around. After some conversation about the preciousness of the Penglai Secret Realm spots, Wei Chen secretly understood its significance.
Back at their residence, Han Mang immediately turned to Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chen, what exactly is your relationship with Ji Mei? Let me tell you, a spot in the Penglai Secret Realm is incredibly valuable; you must seize this opportunity."
"Old man, what kind of place is that?"
"The first fairyland of the Soul World—a place every Soul Warrior yearns for. It is said that if one enters the Penglai Secret Realm even once in their lifetime, their strength can advance by leaps and bounds; even their Martial Soul can be purified and become stronger than before. You know that once you reach Human Soul Realm, Earth Soul Realm, or Soul Realm levels, it becomes very difficult to improve your Soul Power; Soul Stones lose their effectiveness. In contrast, within the Penglai Secret Realm, Soul Power is incredibly dense—it's a sacred ground for cultivation for those at Human Soul Realm, Earth Soul Realm, or Soul Realm Expert levels. If it were just about unearthing some treasures, would it provoke endless battles among powerful beings from the Central Domain?"
Han Mang's old face flushed red as his eyes glared at Wei Chen with envy and jealousy!
Wei Chen shrugged it off and said, "Anyway, my Soul Power Realm is improving quickly and my Martial Soul is strong; I'm not particularly concerned about what happens in the Penglai Secret Realm. I just want to see what kind of tricks Ji Mei is playing. She deliberately revealed her identity to Musa so that Musa could relay it to me—she must have some scheme in mind."
"You don't understand anything! If you don't want to go, let me go! I've been stuck at Earth Soul Realm Level Four for years now; as long as I enter the Penglai Secret Realm, passing through the Three Trials will no longer be an issue. You're living in luxury without realizing it!"
"I could actually give you the opportunity, but Ji Mei likes a handsome and charming guy like me, not an old man like you. Save your breath. Once the secret realm opens, just wait here for me while enjoying the good food and drinks," Wei Chen joked.
Han Mang forced a smile and returned to his room to rest.
In the guest room, Wei Chen sat quietly by himself, pondering Ji Mei's intentions.
"Back at the Cloud Spirit Sect, she helped me at every turn. Later, when the Sea Tribe Army destroyed the Cloud Spirit Sect, she deliberately had Musa send me a message. Now she's being so friendly towards me... Could it be that she has seen through my identity?"
"Mu Qingyan and Elegant's sister Qingling both fused with the petals of the Destruction Demon Lotus from back then. Mu Qingyan has already guessed my identity, but Qingling is still in the dark. Could Ji Mei have also fused with a petal of the Destruction Demon Lotus?"
"There are nine petals in total on that Destruction Lotus. If each petal were melted by beautiful women, wouldn't that be even more enjoyable for me? They would all feel that inexplicable sense of familiarity and belonging towards me..."
"If Ji Mei is also like that, it would be wonderful."
Wei Chen lost himself in thought when a graceful figure slowly walked into the courtyard under the cover of night.
"Wei Chen, come out. I know you can sense my presence."
Ji Mei's voice drifted in.
Wei Chen stepped out of his room and saw Ji Mei standing elegantly in the courtyard. He chuckled, "Ji Mei, coming to find me so late at night? Are you hoping for a heart-to-heart talk?"
"You can do whatever you want; the question is, do you dare?" Ji Mei raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Wei Chen pouted slightly, thinking to himself that this was Sea Tribe territory. If it were on human territory, he wouldn't hesitate to devour her without a second thought!
"So, what do you want from me?"
"Nothing much; I just wanted to see you. It's been such a long time since we last met. I contacted you through Musa and initially planned to find you after the Penglai Secret Realm Gathering, but I didn't expect you all to come to Penglai Island on your own. I'm genuinely happy about it," Ji Mei said, her face radiating charm as her lips curved into a sweet smile.
Wei Chen suddenly found it hard to look directly at Ji Mei. He lowered his head and forced a smile, saying, "Ji Mei, stop playing with me. What are you really thinking? Just tell me."
"I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition," Ji Mei said with a strange expression.
"What condition?" Wei Chen felt a pang of anxiety at Ji Mei's demeanor, wondering if she was going to pull another trick on him. It seemed he had never taken the initiative in front of Ji Mei; he was always being led by her.
"When you become a top expert, help my brother Ji Feng compete for the position of Sea Witch Empress."
"What? Ji Mei, are you trying to get me killed? Do you think I don't know what kind of power the Sea Witch Empress has?"
"By the time the competition for the Sea Witch Empress throne truly begins, my father will either have successfully transcended and gone to another world or failed and been struck down by the heavenly tribulation. At that point, the internal competition within the Sea Tribe for the Sea Witch Empress position will start. If you become a Peak Expert, remember our agreement today and help my brother eliminate his rivals. If your strength isn't enough, I won't force you. With such favorable conditions, don't you want to agree?"
Ji Mei looked at Wei Chen with eager eyes and softly asked.
Wei Chen was momentarily stunned, thinking that it didn't seem to have any downside for him. He nodded and said, "Alright then. I will reach the peak of Soul World sooner or later, but I don't know how long it will take—maybe five years, ten years, or even longer. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help you by then."
"I don't need your guarantee; just remembering our kindness today is enough. Back then, I saved your life, right? The opportunity for this Penglai Secret Realm Gathering is incredibly precious. Everyone has their own scale in their hearts; I trust you."
After saying this, Ji Mei gave Wei Chen a deep look before turning to leave.
Wei Chen forced a smile and lost all desire to sleep. He sat cross-legged in the courtyard to cultivate, absorbing the Soul Power drifting around him. Regardless of its attribute, he welcomed all kinds of Soul Power into his Spiritual Wisdom Soul. Under the transformation of Water Soul, it became water attribute Soul Power, which he compressed layer by layer before spreading it into his acupoints, gradually impacting the eighth acupoint of Spirit Wisdom Realm.
He was already at the critical point of Spirit Wisdom Realm Sevenfold. After a night of hard cultivation, he broke through to Spirit Wisdom Realm Eighth Layer.
As a ray of morning sunlight fell upon him, Wei Chen opened his eyes and murmured, "From Spirit Wisdom Realm Sevenfold to Spirit Wisdom Realm Eighth Layer took such a long time. For an average person, it might be considered short, but for me, it's far too slow. Without high-grade Soul Stones, breaking through is incredibly difficult."
"The Penglai Secret Realm is an opportunity; after that, I must venture into Zhongzhou where opportunities abound but so do dangers. I don't even know where Zhao Yu is now; Ni Junlin has turned into an Auspicious Cloud Jade and I have no idea when he will awaken. First, I need to improve to Surge Realm in the Penglai Secret Realm before heading to Zhongzhou; that would give me some confidence."
Just as he was thinking, Han Mang walked out, his face showing surprise as he looked at Wei Chen and said, "You’ve broken through to the Spirit Wisdom Realm Eighth Layer?"
"Is it really that surprising?" Wei Chen replied helplessly. He had previously advanced through the Soul Power Realm so quickly that Han Mang had been shocked countless times. This time, it took him a long while to advance a single realm, which hardly warranted such astonishment.
"What I mean is, before entering the Penglai Secret Realm, you should try to break through to the Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom. Once you get to the Penglai Secret Realm, you can concentrate on solidifying your Surge Realm Martial Soul in one go. By the time you come out, you should be at the peak of Surge Realm and ready to challenge the Human Soul Realm."
Hearing Han Mang's words, Wei Chen was taken aback and exclaimed, "Is it really that powerful?"
"Do you think the Penglai Secret Realm is a joke? The entire Soul World is scrambling for a chance to enter the Penglai Secret Realm. If you get an opportunity, it's like striking gold on your ancestors' graves," Han Mang scoffed. He was filled with envy and jealousy towards Wei Chen, wishing he could go to Ji Mei and see if he could secure a spot for himself…
"Old man, why do I feel like you're jealous? Hehe, once I become stronger and head to the Central Domain as the Young Sect Master of Peach Blossom Sect, wouldn’t that be more legitimate? If my strength is too weak, wouldn’t it embarrass our Peach Blossom Sect?"
"You're getting ahead of yourself; let's focus on getting to the Central Domain first. The Penglai Secret Realm won't open for a while yet. Stay on Penglai Island and wait here. I'll head over first and bring your news to the Central Domain. If I don’t hurry, your girlfriends will go crazy with worry."
"Old man, are you really worried about Mu Qingyan and the others? You just want to leave me here and rush off to meet Granny Lin," Wei Chen said with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he chuckled.
"Nonsense! I'm leaving now; take care of yourself! After passing Penglai Island, it won’t be far to the Central Domain. Just fly northwest directly to reach Blackwater Territory. The islands in the sea won’t be as hard to find as before, so I can leave with peace of mind."
Han Mang said this while giving Wei Chen a deep look filled with some expectation before turning to leave. Soon after, under the guidance of several Sea Tribe Soldiers, he departed from Penglai Island.
A few days later, Ji Mei found Wei Chen and announced that the Penglai Secret Realm was about to open!
