"Take me out, and I'll come back for you in five months." Wei Chen stepped forward, gently pulling the girl into his embrace. After a warm hug, the girl moved her hand, and a powerful force surged forth, instantly transporting Wei Chen into the room.
Looking at the stone in his palm, Wei Chen smiled wryly. "Those so-called messages are better left unknown. Not only did they subject that girl to the punishment of spatial laws, but they also left me completely baffled, not understanding what was going on at all."
"She will know when the time comes, but when exactly is that? When everything awakens, will my personality and feelings for my friends change? According to that girl, I am a child created by the Demon Lotus Master, sent to this world by tearing open space, with no parents at all..."
"Sigh, it's all shrouded in mystery. I can only wait for the memories of my past life to awaken before I can find out. I hope my consciousness remains unaffected. But I can't shake the feeling that once the Demon Lotus Master's consciousness awakens, my own consciousness will be greatly impacted—perhaps even turning me into someone else..."
"No way! Even if it costs me my life, I cannot let that happen!"
Wei Chen clenched his fists tightly. The worries deep within him were ever-present. After the girl revealed some information, that sense of crisis grew even stronger.
Feeling the surging energy within him, Wei Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. "My strength is a result of that girl's sacrifice; there's nothing to be happy about. The Dragon Soul that Ji Mei worked so hard to obtain—I have already condensed it, and it's a Golden Dragon, one of the most powerful among dragons—the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon."
"Such good fortune is hard to come by. But perhaps it’s not really my good fortune; it might just be the deliberate arrangement of the Demon Lotus Master."
"In the end, it could all be for naught—a tragedy where everything is done for others."
Wei Chen couldn't allow himself to be associated with the Demon Lotus. Whether his fears would come true was uncertain.
"Regardless, it's still a good thing. Old Man Han Mang, once we enter the Penglai Secret Realm and cultivate diligently, in this low-level Soul Power Realm, I could reach the peak in just a month. For me, that would mean reaching the pinnacle of Surge Realm. Once I reach that peak and find a suitable Martial Soul, the Demon Lotus can help me quickly condense a Soul Realm Martial Soul... If that's the case, this trip to Penglai Island will be a huge gain."
"Fortunately, I didn't travel with Han Che and the others on the Warship; the risks are high but so are the opportunities!"
...
The next day, Ji Mei led Wei Chen to the entrance of the Penglai Secret Realm under the protection of over a hundred Sea Tribe warriors.
The entrance was bustling with a crowd of over a thousand people, all geared up and ready. Among them were not only experts at the Ninth Rank, Earth Soul Realm, but also young talents from various factions, each exuding a powerful aura. When Ji Mei arrived, many turned to scrutinize her. It was well-known that this stunning beauty was the First Princess of the Sea Tribe, wielding immense power and status comparable to that of the Fire Sect Master's own son.
No one dared to offend such a woman. The might of the Sea Tribe was no joke; for hundreds of years, there had been constant friction between the Sea Tribe and the human race, but it had mostly been confined to desolate areas like the Eastern Wasteland and Southern Wasteland. The Central Domain was the foundation of the human race; as long as it remained untroubled, there would be peace. Both the Sea Tribe and the human race had tacitly avoided conflict in the Central Domain and its surrounding seas.
Peace was the ultimate pursuit; war never had a victor. The human race had no hope of annihilating the Sea Tribe, just as the Sea Tribe could not hope to eradicate humanity. The ongoing peace allowed for an increasing number of strong individuals within the Central Domain, while losses among the Sea Tribe's experts were minimal, leading both sides into a phase of rapid development.
Even when the Sea Tribe occasionally attacked the Central Domain, it was usually with small forces—those who had offended major factions within the Sea Tribe were sent to their doom. The human race understood this well; they would encircle and eliminate such forces as training exercises, never daring to cross boundaries.
The centuries of prosperity even allowed humans to participate in the Sea Tribe's Penglai Secret Realm Gathering, a rare opportunity indeed.
Upon seeing Ji Mei, the Human Race experts merely glanced her way, taking note but not lingering.
Beside Ji Mei stood Wei Chen, whose identity was quickly recognized by many—he was actually a human?
"A traitor to the human race!"
"Indeed! A disgrace! No matter how poorly one fares among humans, they shouldn't ally with the Sea Tribe. That brat must be eliminated at any cost!"
"Throughout history, there have been many traitors who sided with the Sea Tribe, but it's rare to see someone so young doing so as a mere pawn for the Sea Princess."
"Forget everything else; if that brat sets foot in the Central Domain, he will definitely be dealt with ruthlessly."
"What a pity for such a talented youth! His aura seems to already be at Surge Realm? There are hardly ten Surge Realm experts this young in the Central Domain, yet he has become a lackey for the Sea Tribe... Sigh, what has become of this world!"
Voices echoed around them without any attempt at discretion; Wei Chen heard every word clearly.
Ji Mei wore a blank expression as she glanced sideways at Wei Chen, a hint of schadenfreude flickering in her eyes.
Wei Chen, however, wore a bitter smile. No matter how he tried to wash his hands of this, it was impossible. How could he have forgotten this crucial detail after all his calculations?
"Ji Mei, you’ve really put me in a terrible spot. What am I going to do?" Wei Chen asked, glaring at her with an interrogative tone.
Ji Mei smiled sweetly and, in front of countless onlookers, gently took hold of Wei Chen's wrist.
Wei Chen's body instantly stiffened. Seeing the disdainful and mocking gazes directed at him made him feel like he wanted to disappear.
"Big sister, please don’t toy with me like this! If you keep this up, how am I supposed to face anyone when I get to the Central Domain?" Wei Chen thought he might actually die from embarrassment.
"Don’t worry. Isn’t there a saying among your people? Something like 'where there’s a will, there’s a way'? When the time comes and you have Divine Might, just deal with anyone who comes after you. Beat them into submission or scare them off; isn’t that enough?"
"Your optimism is misplaced. With my current strength, how could I possibly achieve that?"
"Just because you can’t do it now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to later. It’s under pressure that we find our motivation. I don’t want you to just waste time in the Central Domain; I’m counting on you to become a powerful figure and help my brother Ji Feng compete for the Sea Demon Emperor position," Ji Mei whispered playfully into Wei Chen's ear.
Wei Chen's face turned pale. The gazes of those strong figures from the Central Domain had already felt like they had killed him multiple times…
"Big sister, you’re overestimating me. By the time I reach that level of strength, I’ll probably have already been taken out by those Central Domain powerhouses. In their eyes, I’m just your pawn, a lackey of the Sea Tribe who betrayed humanity. Once I arrive at the Central Domain, how could I dare show my face?"
"Don’t worry; your people have some wise sayings. 'When soldiers come, let the generals block them; when water comes, let the earth cover it,' right?"
"You can say that easily while standing there! I've become the public enemy of the entire Central Domain! Old Man Han Mang's Peach Blossom Sect is about to be established, and it seems we won’t be able to survive there either. What are we going to do about this loss?"
Ji Mei hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's simple. When the time comes, just go all out and kill. Take one down at a time, or take two down at once; that will do."
"Come on, your 'simple' isn't helping me. Think of a way! If you don't explain this clearly, don't expect me to help you at all," Wei Chen glared at Ji Mei.
"Do you think my explanation will be useful? Any explanation is futile. Only your own strength, your own fists, can determine your fate. Just think about it: if you reach the peak of your cultivation, Soul Realm Peak, whatever you want to do will be easy. Who would dare to oppose you then?"
"Soul Realm Peak? Just the Three Trials of Earth Soul Realm have defeated countless people, and the Great Three Trials of Soul Realm are even more terrifying. How could I possibly reach Soul Realm Peak in such a short time?"
Wei Chen's eyes blazed with anger; he was truly furious.
Seeing Wei Chen's rage, Ji Mei stopped provoking him further. She turned to the Human Race Experts and said loudly, "You all guessed wrong. Wei Chen is from the Central Domain's Blackwater Territory, specifically from the Eighth-Rank Sect known as Peach Blossom Sect. He has nothing to do with our Sea Tribe. My relationship with Wei Chen is that of good friends. If you insist on thinking otherwise, that's close enough; otherwise, how could I possibly give him a precious spot in the Penglai Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing Ji Mei's words, the crowd erupted in surprise.
"Peach Blossom Sect? I've never heard of it. Have any of you heard of Peach Blossom Sect?"
"No, maybe ask someone from Blackwater Sect."
An elderly man turned to another gloomy-faced elder beside him and asked, "Elder Lin, do you know about Peach Blossom Sect? It's an Eighth-Rank Sect in your Blackwater Territory; you must have heard of it."
"I’m not aware of it; it’s probably newly established. An Eighth-Rank Sect is merely formed by three Eighth Rank Soul Realm Experts; it's not significant at all. Even if it really exists, I have no interest in knowing."
The one responding was none other than the leader of Nine-Rank Sect's Blackwater Sect, Granny Lin's elder brother.
"That makes sense; it's just an Eighth-Rank Sect after all, not worth mentioning."
Everyone quickly put the Eighth-Rank Sect and Peach Blossom Sect out of their minds, but when Ji Mei spoke, the name of Peach Blossom Sect instantly resonated throughout the Central Domain and the Cloud Spirit Sect. Even the powerful figures and Young Talents sent by the Fire Sect secretly remembered the name of Peach Blossom Sect.
What they were more concerned about was Wei Chen's identity. Ji Mei's words were clear; she had feelings for someone named Wei Chen!
He was not a mere lackey of the Sea Tribe, but rather a Consort valued by the Sea Princess!
Wei Chen's status was suddenly elevated to a terrifying level.
Countless Young Talents looked at him with fierce gazes.
To earn the admiration of the Sea Princess made the Young Talents incredibly envious!
Seeing those strong and handsome young men casting unfriendly glances his way, Wei Chen could only smile wryly and say, "Ji Mei, you’re still pushing me into the Inferno."
“At least after I’m done, those older generations won’t come after you anymore, and those younger ones will only challenge you openly. Are you afraid of a fair duel? This isn’t the Wei Chen I know,” Ji Mei replied with a smile.
Wei Chen thought about it; challenges from Young Talents weren’t such a big deal. Once they came, he would gain experience for free and bring fame to Peach Blossom Sect. Why not?
What he didn’t realize was that Ji Mei’s words would have an impact on him far beyond what he imagined!
The strong figures from Central Domain would inevitably become enemies through challenges, but it was the Young Talents from the Sea Tribe that posed the real danger!
