Hearing the words of the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen's face showed a look of astonishment.
In his understanding, there had never been such a thing as a Spatial Martial Soul.
Martial Souls were always tangible; they were either mountains and rivers or various attribute beasts, or they represented the five elemental energies: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Spatial Martial Soul? What on earth was that?
Wei Chen was filled with questions, yet within his Earth Soul, the aura of that power was becoming increasingly clear.
The Demon Lotus Emperor smiled and asked, "Do you feel it?"
"What?"
"Come on, it's the Spatial Martial Soul!" the Demon Lotus Emperor replied, exasperated.
"I don't feel anything like that. I only sense the power of nature, all the forces of nature mixed together," Wei Chen explained.
The Demon Lotus Emperor nodded. "That's right; that is the Spatial Martial Soul."
"Can you explain it more clearly? You know I'm not very bright. If you don't clarify it well, I'll need a long time to think about it. In that case, both you and Yan Qiqi might end up stuck in the Magic Stone Space. You swore you'd stay here with Yan Qiqi; if she lives, you live; if she dies, you die," Wei Chen threatened.
The Demon Lotus Emperor pouted. "You won't let us die. You know how important I am to you. If I die, there will be no one to explain many things to you. When Donghua bursts forth to seize your Demon Lotus Heart, no one will help you."
After a pause, the Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "If I die, your death will not be far behind. Donghua hasn't acted yet partly because you're too weak; he might damage your Demon Lotus Heart. On the other hand, my presence keeps him from acting recklessly. My soul strength is far superior to his. I can't kill him, but I can attack his Spirit and drive him into madness. In short, without me, you'll find it hard to move an inch."
"I've staked my life on this; in reality, it's also your life."
The Demon Lotus Emperor showed a cold smile as he faced Wei Chen; it was the first time such a cold expression had appeared on him.
Previously, he had either been helpless, smiling, arrogant, or cynical. A cold smile had never crossed his face before.
This time, he had wagered his life, the life of Yan Qiqi, and the life of Wei Chen, all while a cold smile formed deep within him.
Whether he could survive depended entirely on Wei Chen himself.
"You should also consider what will happen if you die. What about your women? Your brothers? Your elders? If Donghua wants to kill them, it would only take a blink of an eye. Yan Qiqi cannot die, I cannot die, and you cannot die either."
The Demon Lotus Emperor's expression shifted, the cold smile fading as a warm and gentle smile appeared on his face.
Wei Chen felt a sense of helplessness; he knew that what the Demon Lotus Emperor said was, in fact, true.
This was a deadlock where one person's death would lead to everyone's demise.
If it weren't for the Demon Lotus Emperor's reminder and threat, he wouldn't have realized how terrifying the consequences of this crisis could be.
The pressure on Wei Chen was already immense without any further elaboration from the Demon Lotus Emperor.
"Alright, now regarding your Spatial Martial Soul. What you sense is nature, mountains and rivers, the void and the earth—that is space. Everything you perceive exists within space. The condensation of your Spatial Martial Soul has been something I planned long ago. You possess the Sword Mountain Spirit, which embodies the power of the earth; you have fire and Water Soul, which are also forces of nature. You also have Dragon Soul, Black Tortoise Martial Soul, Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and Brahma Flower Soul—all powers that exist within space. It is precisely because you have these powers and the five elemental forces of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth that you can condense your Spatial Martial Soul," explained the Demon Lotus Emperor.
After hearing this explanation, Wei Chen frowned and asked, "With all this knowledge, what exactly is the function of the Spatial Martial Soul?"
"Control. Control over an area! When your Spatial Martial Soul activates within a certain range, your strength will be enhanced while others' strength will be diminished. You can think of it as a formation; you carry a Martial Soul attribute formation with you at all times. When you condense your soul, try to conceive a formation that belongs to nature as much as possible; that way, your strength will be even greater. You have your own mission; your cultivation level and combat power at the same realm must be several times stronger than that of ordinary people. Many challenges await you; only by becoming stronger can you survive."
"The Spatial Martial Soul also allows for free traversal within space. That is another effect of formations. You have previously cast a teleportation formation; setting up such formations takes time. Even though you're quick at arranging them, it still requires time, doesn't it? But when you use your Spatial Martial Soul, that's true teleportation. The Spatial Martial Soul serves as both a means of survival and a method to counter strong enemies. When facing ordinary foes, just kill them directly—why complicate things?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor looked at Wei Chen earnestly as he explained.
Upon hearing this explanation from the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen immediately activated his Spatial Martial Soul. A map seemed to appear in his mind, clearly showing everything within a one-mile radius. On the map was an arrow pointing to a specific location.
Wei Chen selected a spot and instantly vanished from his position, reappearing hundreds of meters away.
The process took three breaths of time.
He activated his Spatial Martial Soul again, returning to his original position, which took two breaths.
Next, Wei Chen controlled the Spatial Martial Soul, teleporting around the Demon Lotus Emperor. The time required for each teleportation became shorter and shorter.
In the end, Wei Chen was able to teleport anywhere he thought of within a certain range without restraint. Regardless of the distance, the time taken for teleportation remained the same.
"Paralyze? Isn't this a high-level escape skill? If I encounter a powerful enemy, I can just teleport a few times and be miles away. With this, who could kill me?" Wei Chen said to the Demon Lotus Emperor, his eyes filled with excitement.
The Demon Lotus Emperor showed a mocking expression and replied, "Why don't you go try it on Donghua? A true powerhouse can kill you with just a thought. Even someone not as strong as Donghua could trap you by sealing off the surrounding space. Don't think that sealing space is such a difficult task; as long as one's strength is sufficient, overwhelming pressure can completely seal off the surrounding area."
"Someone with power like Thunderstorm could easily kill you."
The Demon Lotus Emperor poured cold water on Wei Chen's enthusiasm.
Wei Chen responded helplessly, "With my current strength, my enemies shouldn't be that strong, right?"
"Hehe, I believe it won't be long before you find out. This world is quite low-level; even the so-called Upper Realm and Soul World are rather primitive. But even among short people, some can stand tall. Last time three people descended from above; one of them has bloodlines similar to Thunderstorm's. The other two—I sensed their bloodlines are similar to that Master Jin you defeated. They are coming for you. When that happens, Donghua might deal with one of them; what will you do about the other? The Formation System of Cang Mountain is strong, but against such high-level figures, your Formation System won't be very effective."
Hearing this, Wei Chen's heart sank.
His previous thoughts about the Soul Palace's powerful beings descending were merely speculation. Now, with the Demon Lotus Emperor's clear words, he understood that a life-and-death crisis would soon arrive.
Although Wei Chen felt some tension regarding that crisis, he was not afraid. What he truly cared about was the Solar Crisis within the Magic Stone Space.
When the Soul Palace Army arrived, there would always be a way to resolve it; if all else failed, he could still escape...
Knowing when to retreat is a sign of wisdom; Wei Chen understood this well and had always acted accordingly. If he couldn't win, then running away was obviously the best option—why would he seek death by fighting?
"Alright, I understand now. This Spatial Martial Soul will continue to strengthen as my Soul Power Realm increases, right? For example, will the range for escaping become larger?"
"Of course, such a foolish question. I hope you won't bring it up again to test your own intelligence."
The Demon Lotus Emperor cast a deep glance at Wei Chen and continued, "I am going into seclusion. No matter how you call for me in the future, I will not come out again."
With that, the Demon Lotus Emperor transformed into azure smoke and vanished without a trace.
Wei Chen stood in place, pondering for a moment before shouting, "Yan Qiqi, where are you?"
After a few breaths, Yan Qiqi hurriedly flew in front of Wei Chen.
She gazed at Wei Chen with her beautiful big eyes for a moment before leaping into his arms, channeling vast energy back into him.
Without a doubt, Wei Chen had fallen unconscious.
His Soul Power Realm had reached Earth Soul Realm Level Four.
Beyond this point, Yan Qiqi was powerless to assist.
The Three Trials were the true first hurdle in Soul Power cultivation; everyone had to solve it on their own, and no one could help. Sharing experiences had limited effects as well.
This was the law of this world; anyone born here had to abide by it.
As for those born in other worlds, like Ni Junlin, Gu Yuehong, and Yan Qiqi from Hua Xia World, they were not subject to the Three Trials or the Great Three Trials.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Half a moment later, Wei Chen opened his eyes and asked groggily.
Yan Qiqi smiled gently and replied, "Half—twelve full hours."
"How long did I remain unconscious the last time you helped me break through?"
"Just half."
"Then that means I've been in the Magic Stone Space for over a month?" Wei Chen quickly sat up. There were still many guests on Cang Mountain, and he had been in the Magic Stone Space for too long. He couldn't be sure that nothing would go wrong on Cang Mountain, so he needed to hurry out and check.
Yan Qiqi smiled gently, "Brother, you should go out and take a look. Come back to see me when you have time."
"It's not just when I have time. For at least the next three months, I'll be here most of the time. Unless something major happens outside, I won't leave this place. I'll go out and check now; it won't take long before I return."
Hearing this, Yan Qiqi's expression changed slightly. "Are you saying that the Magic Stone Space... only has three months left?"
It was a harsh reality, much shorter than Yan Qiqi had anticipated. After all, the sun still looked bright outside.
Wei Chen looked at Yan Qiqi with reluctance and nodded firmly. "That's right, we only have three months left. Our fates are intertwined; if this place is destroyed, you won't survive, and I will die too."
With that, Wei Chen plunged out of the Magic Stone Space and into his own room.
Outside the room, Musa paced anxiously.
"Where could Wei Chen have gone? At such a critical moment, where could he possibly be?"
