Listening to the words of the East Sea King, the Bohai King focused intently on Wei Chen and Ji Mei, nodding slightly.
The two of them quietly observed Wei Chen and Ji Mei, not releasing even a hint of their powerful aura.
Both were at the eighth level of the Earth Soul Realm, quite formidable. In the Central Domain, they would be considered dominant figures. Within the Sea Tribe, their strength was also notable; being titled as kings spoke volumes about their power and status.
The Sea Monster Emperor, Ji Pokong, had originally assigned a Peak of Earth Soul Realm level guard to Ji Mei. However, Ji Mei chose to forgo that powerful guardian and instead gave that precious slot to Wei Chen, fully aware of the risks involved.
What she did not know was that there were indeed people within the Sea Tribe who wanted her dead!
The ambitious East Sea King and the worried Bohai King watched Wei Chen and Ji Mei from the shadows, while Wei Chen and Ji Mei remained completely oblivious.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from Unreturning Mountain.
Wei Chen wore a bitter smile as he looked at Ji Mei and shook his head. "Ji Mei, your information must be wrong. It can't be that the Young Dragon is here; there's not even a trace of any ordinary beast."
Ji Mei pondered for a moment before frowning. "That Young Dragon definitely exists; our Sea Tribe elders have seen it. Your blood should attract it, so why isn't it coming?"
Then she thought to herself: "Wei Chen's blood must be able to attract divine beasts, especially young ones. To them, his blood is like the best nourishing medicine that can help them grow... If it catches a whiff of his blood, it will surely come."
"As for other beasts, they would have fled at the scent of Wei Chen's blood; who would dare come near?"
Ji Mei quietly contemplated this and waited for a long time. Still, there was no sign of movement from the Unreturning Mountain Range.
"Ji Mei, stop wasting time. You are the First Princess of the Sea Clan; you have everything you could want. But I am different; I still need to find Soul Jade. Once we reach the Central Domain, every piece of Soul Jade is wealth."
"Have you forgotten what you promised me before we came in?"
Ji Mei shot a cold glare at Wei Chen, her eyes filled with menace.
Wei Chen sighed helplessly, "Sister, those things of yours are just illusions; they aren't worth wasting so much time on, right? The Penglai Secret Realm only has a month, and every moment is extremely precious. Half a day has already passed without any results. Is this even interesting?"
Ji Mei snorted coldly and said, "I don't care; just give me some of your blood."
Wei Chen quickly took a few steps back, waving his hands in resignation. "Ji Mei, stop trying to take advantage of me. I'm not a blood bank; I don't have that much blood to spare!"
Ji Mei glared at Wei Chen and said fiercely, "Give me a cup of blood, and I'll give you a piece of Ninth-Rank Mid-Level Soul Jade. How about that?"
"Ninth-Rank Mid-Level Soul Jade?" Wei Chen was taken aback, then his expression turned eager as he asked, "I can give you three cups."
Ji Mei looked at Wei Chen with disdain, utterly speechless at his response.
Once she had three cups of fresh blood, Ji Mei didn't pour them out immediately. Instead, she took out a packet of white powder from her pocket and mixed it into the blood. With a smug smile, she said, "I don't believe that Young Dragon won't come out."
With that, she flicked her wrist and poured a cup of blood into the air.
Wei Chen curiously asked, "What did you mix in?"
"It's a kind of potion; its grade isn't anything special, but it can separate the aura. It will disperse the essence contained in your blood over a long distance."
"Do whatever you want. If you're just going to stare at me here, I'm going down to cultivate."
Wei Chen shrugged and landed on the ground. After looking around for a while without sensing any beastly presence, he relaxed and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
"Truly worthy of being the Demon Lotus Successor; entering meditation so quickly."
Seeing Wei Chen breathe steadily and deeply, Ji Mei felt a surge of surprise. In the Soul World, absorbing Soul Power to replenish one's Three Souls and Seven Spirits could be aided by Soul Stones, but they weren't the true masters. No matter how many Soul Stones one had, without powerful cultivation abilities to absorb them, they would be useless.
If the Soul Stone's power were truly that great, there would be no useless individuals among the Major Forces. Whether among the youth of the Central Domain or within the Ji Family Royal Clan of the Sea Tribe, there are always some mediocre talents who cannot quickly absorb Soul Power. Ultimately, it comes down to their innate ability.
The so-called ability refers to two aspects: one is the capacity to comprehend Soul Power, and the other is the ability to absorb it. For ordinary people, entering a meditative state is extremely difficult; achieving that profound state requires long hours of sitting in meditation.
But Wei Chen was clearly different.
"How can he reach that profound meditative state instantly every time he cultivates? The Demon Lotus Successor is really that extraordinary? But then again, I only melted a petal of the Destruction Demon Lotus. It’s not surprising that I can enter that meditative state quickly; if I focus seriously and am lucky, an hour is enough."
"Ordinary people need exceptional luck, practicing dozens of times just to enter a meditative state once. Wei Chen, as the Demon Lotus Successor, I suppose I also have some connection to the Demon Lotus..."
"Wei Chen will surely become a Peak Expert in the Soul World. If I stick with him, perhaps I can venture into another world as well."
"Maybe that's our destiny? Those who have also melted the Destruction Demon Lotus Petal should follow Wei Chen and conquer new worlds. The Golden Armored Giant from back then cut down the Destruction Demon Lotus with one strike; it seems he too fell into the true scheme of the Demon Lotus."
Ji Mei looked down from above, quietly observing Wei Chen, her thoughts racing as she contemplated many things.
One cup of blood wasn’t enough; she poured out another cup and added a dispersing agent, whispering to herself, "With this much blood, if you don’t come soon, this trip to the Penglai Secret Realm will be a complete failure for me."
While Ji Mei and Wei Chen were busy with their own matters, the East Sea King could no longer sit still.
He gazed at Ji Mei from afar and coldly said to Bohai King, "Bohai King, no matter what they intend to do, we don’t need to wait any longer. Let’s do it now—kill Ji Mei. What awaits us afterward will be ample time to prepare for claiming the throne. Ji Pokong won’t be in the Soul World for long."
Bohai King showed signs of struggle and conflict on his face. "East Sea King, do you know that Ji Pokong has also arrived at the Penglai Secret Realm? If he secretly follows Ji Mei, we won’t be able to escape detection. If he’s lurking in the shadows, wouldn’t we be walking into our own demise?"
"Absolutely not. Ji Pokong has gone deep into the Penglai Secret Realm; he intends to take advantage of its opening to absorb as much high-level energy as possible in preparation for venturing into another world. He would never waste such an opportunity by quietly protecting Ji Mei. Although Ji Mei holds a respectable position in the Sea Tribe, compared to those preparing for another world, what does having a daughter even mean? Bohai King, don’t be too timid; you are destined to be the future Emperor of Bohai; how can you afford to be so cautious?"
"East Sea King, it's not about being timid but rather about being prudent. A cautious heart can steer a ship for ten thousand years. If Ji Pokong is present, our strength wouldn’t withstand even one hundredth of his might."
"Damn it, are you going or not? Cowardly as a mouse, how can you accomplish great things?" The East Sea King coldly glared at the Bohai King, filled with frustration.
The Bohai King’s face flushed, and he gritted his teeth fiercely. "Let's do it!"
"Let's go. We need to take down Ji Mei and that human boy as quickly as possible, then find a secluded place to quietly cultivate and strive to break through to the Soul Realm!"
The two exchanged glances, holding their breath and focusing as they stealthily approached Ji Mei and Wei Chen.
"You take care of that boy; I'll handle Ji Mei," the East Sea King assigned the tasks. The Bohai King nodded eagerly at the East Sea King's words. If he could, he would never want to confront Ji Mei directly. Ji Pokong's power was simply too overwhelming; in truth, the Bohai King had no intention of opposing Ji Pokong at all. He was only compelled to act under the East Sea King's persuasion.
The territories of the Bohai King and East Sea King were directly connected, and they had a good relationship. With the East Sea King's full invitation, the Bohai King found it hard to refuse.
Wei Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, his powerful spiritual sense extending two miles away. Within that range, he could perceive any movement in the grass or wind.
Even if an ant crawled on the ground, making a slight sound, Wei Chen would be able to sense it clearly.
His spiritual sense was incredibly strong, rivaling anyone else's— even Ji Pokong!
Suddenly, Wei Chen, who had been meditating with his eyes slightly closed, opened them wide, two beams of light shooting forth.
"Paralyze! Those two have strong auras; they're not here for good!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Wei Chen sprang to his feet, pushing off the ground and flying to Ji Mei's side.
Ji Mei was startled by Wei Chen's sudden appearance. She rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Wei Chen, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Focus! Someone is coming," Wei Chen whispered.
"Who are they?"
"They are from the Sea Tribe, all at the Eighth Level of the Earth Soul Realm. We have no fighting power at all; we won't even be able to run," Wei Chen said calmly.
"Eighth Level of the Earth Soul Realm?" Ji Mei was taken aback, then she chuckled softly, "Don't worry. In the Sea Tribe, no one dares to cause me trouble; that would be a death wish. You know my father's power well enough. They might just be here to pay their respects."
As Ji Mei spoke, a sense of foreboding rose within her. Deep down, she knew her words were merely for comfort—not only for Wei Chen but even for herself.
The arrival of ill intentions is never benign; the ancients truly did not deceive me.
Finally, Ji Mei sensed the presence of Bohai King and East Sea King. The two men held their breath and focused until they came into view.
Her sensing ability was nowhere near Wei Chen's level. Both Bohai King and East Sea King were strong at the Eighth Level of the Earth Soul Realm; if they chose to conceal their aura, Ji Mei wouldn't have the strength to perceive them.
Seeing Bohai King and East Sea King, Ji Mei's expression relaxed. She whispered to Wei Chen, "It's Bohai King and East Sea King. They are loyal to our Ji Family Royal Clan. Don't worry; nothing will happen."
"I hope so," Wei Chen replied coldly, gripping the mysterious stone tightly in his hand. At the slightest disturbance, he could activate that space and take refuge inside.
"I wonder if this stone can take Ji Mei with me? I came to the Penglai Secret Realm with her; I can't just watch her take risks alone. Besides, she might have melted the petals of the Destruction Demon Lotus, so she counts as one of my own."
Wei Chen's large hand quietly grasped Ji Mei's hand.
In this critical moment, instead of thinking about the approaching Bohai King and East Sea King, Ji Mei felt her cheeks flush slightly.
