The old man appeared to be an ordinary person at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was something distinctly unusual about him.
The Dark Mage was also an old man, but he exuded a fierce and commanding presence. In contrast, the elderly figure before Wei Chen seemed to carry an air of having seen through the vicissitudes of life.
That kind of aura was something even the Dark Mage did not possess.
The Dark Mage was merely a worldly individual, still harboring many unfulfilled dreams, such as the unification of the magic realm.
However, the old man before him lacked that sense of ambition. It seemed as if he had completely transcended worldly concerns, indifferent to everything around him.
Especially striking were his eyes—chaotic yet clear.
Looking closely, it felt as though one could see everything in the mortal world reflected in his gaze.
The old man's eyes were fixed intently on Wei Chen.
Under that gaze, Wei Chen did not feel nervous; instead, he felt a warmth enveloping him.
Yes, warmth.
Not love or affection, but warmth.
Wei Chen keenly sensed that at this moment, his blood seemed to be boiling with energy.
Countless latent factors within him surged and ignited under the old man's watchful eyes.
It felt as if his entire body was ablaze.
In just a brief moment of being observed, the countless Magic Stones in the chamber transformed into pure magical energy and rushed into Wei Chen's body like a whirlwind, causing his Magic Realm to soar dramatically.
The speed at which his Magic Realm was increasing was astonishing; Wei Chen had no idea just how far it had risen. Just as he sensed an elevation in his Magic Realm, it surged again in the next instant.
With Wei Chen's body as a conduit, the magical energy surrounding the Black Magic Palace surged wildly towards the secret chamber where Wei Chen was located.
"What happened? Is the Demon Emperor cultivating?"
"Has the Demon Emperor broken through again?"
"Or is Lord Muen making a breakthrough?"
"Is there still a possibility for them to increase their strength?"
Outside the Black Magic Palace, people were buzzing with speculation. Meanwhile, inside, Dark Mage and Muen, along with others, quickly gathered outside Wei Chen's secret chamber, their expressions a mix of excitement and fear as they stared intently at the door.
"Demon Emperor, Young Mistress... Is he cultivating in there?" Muen asked Dark Mage tentatively.
Dark Mage nodded and replied, "That's right, it's him."
Dark Mage's expression turned serious. In just a moment, the magical energy within the secret chamber had gathered to a terrifying degree. The overwhelming magic surged into the chamber, causing it to almost take on a liquid form.
Wei Chen's body became a massive vessel capable of containing countless magical energies. The vast magic flowed into him, coursing through his veins and striking open numerous acupoints, causing Wei Chen's Magic Realm to rise dramatically, one realm per second.
"Demon Emperor, did Young Mistress consume some Elixir?"
"Yes, Demon Emperor, we must ensure that Young Mistress doesn't waste his potential for short-term gains!"
"Demon Emperor, we would rather see Young Mistress cultivate slowly. We will do our utmost to assist him in the future rather than witness him struggle later due to consuming pills too hastily!"
The high-ranking members were anxious. They had no idea what was happening inside the secret chamber and assumed that Wei Chen had taken some powerful potion that led to this frenzied cultivation.
On the path of cultivation, steady progress is the most practical approach, especially in the early stages. If one relies on potions for rapid advancement, it often leads to instability later on. It would be detrimental to future cultivation without any benefits.
It was almost as if, in the early stages, they had relied on potions to exhaust all potential, leaving them unable to keep up later on, making it extremely difficult to advance.
In the current situation, every few seconds marked a rise in rank. The higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan were deeply concerned that Wei Chen was engaging in such a potential-exhausting endeavor.
Wei Chen himself was still naive, but the Dark Mage would never allow him to do that!
The higher-ups looked at the Dark Mage, unable to comprehend the situation; it was simply too bizarre.
All along, the Dark Mage had been seen as an incredibly formidable presence in their minds, shrewd and never one to make hasty decisions.
But this time, they couldn't help but wonder if the Dark Mage and the Demon Emperor were getting old.
Unless they had aged and lost their clarity, how could they possibly allow Wei Chen to act in such a manner? That approach completely sacrificed the possibility of becoming a true powerhouse for the sake of short-term gains!
As the high-ranking members felt the overwhelming and terrifying magical energy in the chamber and glanced at the Dark Mage's serious expression, they began to suspect that the Dark Mage had given Wei Chen some kind of potion...
"Everyone, stop looking at me. I would never do something as foolish as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Wei Chen's training has always been under his own control; I have no authority over it. Moreover, I have not given him any Elixir; his cultivation relies solely on himself."
The Dark Mage surveyed the room with a wry smile.
With such commotion, it was hard to believe that he hadn't consumed any Elixir; even he found it hard to accept.
Upon hearing this, the higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan were not satisfied. How could it be possible that he hadn't taken any Elixir?
They genuinely hoped that Wei Chen would cultivate slowly. Even if the Dark Mage were to pass away, they would unite wholeheartedly to support Wei Chen and wait for his growth. Even if in the end, Wei Chen did not become a top-tier powerhouse, what would that matter?
Once the Dark Mage stepped down, Wei Chen would become the Demon Emperor. Within the Black Magic Clan, he would still earn everyone's respect regardless of his current strength.
Why sacrifice future potential for short-term gains?
The mood among the higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan was heavy, and the Dark Mage felt the same. Although he had never given Wei Chen any Elixir, Wei Chen might have his own ways to obtain such things.
The mystery surrounding Wei Chen left even the Dark Mage at a loss for thoughts. Everywhere about him was shrouded in enigma, including his friend, that incredibly handsome guy shaped by Mental Strength, who was equally mysterious.
The Beast Tide was critical; despite not knowing what was happening, inexplicably, it had dissipated, entirely thanks to Wei Chen. The Dark Mage would not forget that incident.
Thus, when any new miracle emerged from Wei Chen, he felt numb to it all.
However, this time, the commotion was too great. The magical energy within a thousand miles gathered around the secret chamber, crazily surging into it, while Wei Chen's power skyrocketed…
Even with the Dark Mage's thousands of years of experience, he could not comprehend what was happening.
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, in the Gray Area, Wei Chen felt a shocking change in his body. Every cell and every molecule was exploding with a powerful force. An immense amount of magical energy seized the opportunity to invade his body, crashing against his meridians and acupoints.
Under normal circumstances, such violent impacts would directly shatter the meridians and acupoints. Yet during this process, the Demon Lotus Heart within Wei Chen unleashed a tremendous healing effect. Each time his meridians were about to be damaged from the impact, the Demon Lotus Heart emitted a strong restorative energy that repaired them.
Inside the secret chamber, Wei Chen was covered in bloodstains, each drop hiding countless toxins. Through this impact and purification process, Wei Chen's physique underwent significant improvement—a qualitative leap.
Yet through it all, Wei Chen felt little. He had long grown accustomed to pain and suffering; the physical agony paled in comparison to the warm gaze of the elder within the Sea of Consciousness.
He didn’t even know how long that gaze lasted.
Outside the secret chamber, the higher-ups of the Black Magic Clan were anxious. For a full ten breaths, magical energy continued to converge; they could sense that within the chamber, Wei Chen's power was still climbing steadily.
Wei Chen had no way of knowing that what seemed like just a few breaths under that elder's gaze had actually spanned ten breaths.
Finally, the elder looked at Wei Chen and spoke calmly.
"Child, do you know who I am?"
The old man's voice was equally gentle, making Wei Chen feel completely at ease.
That feeling was even more comforting than the first time he met the Dark Mage.
Wei Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, but I feel that you are my ancestor."
"Haha, that's about right. You possess the bloodline of the Ancient World, so you can be considered one of its people. It wouldn't be wrong to say I am your ancestor," the old man replied calmly.
Wei Chen asked, "Senior, can you help me resolve my confusion?"
The old man chuckled, "Feel free to ask whatever you want."
"Senior, what is going on with my Sea of Consciousness?" Wei Chen inquired.
The old man explained, "Actually, I came here following the Ancient Bloodline. That drop of Ancient Bloodline fell into your body, and I have been residing within your Sea of Consciousness. To keep it hidden from others, I intentionally created a Gray Area. Your Sea of Consciousness has been expanding all along, and I have been helping you enlarge it."
"The Demon Lotus Emperor you mentioned is quite remarkable. The Demon Lotus Heart is very beneficial for you; make good use of it. Generally speaking, the Ancient Bloodline is the strongest bloodline, but for you, it is different. Right now, the Demon Lotus Heart within you has perfectly fused with the Ancient Bloodline, creating a bloodline that even I find astonishing."
"I don't know what to call that bloodline, but it is incredibly powerful—strong even among those in the Ancient World."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen furrowed his brows and asked, "Senior, are you saying that my Ancient Bloodline has awakened?"
"Yes, it has just awakened. Your strength has received an initial boost. Given your current position in the Spatial Plane, your strength is approximately at the peak of a Martial Artist at the twenty-second level."
"The peak of the Holy Demon Realm?"
Wei Chen was taken aback; what on earth was happening?
Although he had sensed an increase in his Magic Realm, he had no idea how much it had actually improved.
But the peak of the Holy Demon Realm was truly astonishing!
Wei Chen carefully examined his own body. Indeed, it was the peak of the Holy Demon Realm! Such power was unimaginable, even in dreams!
Even with his confidence, Wei Chen did not believe he could reach the peak of the Holy Demon Realm in a short time.
Beyond that lay an entirely new cultivation realm, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm!
Could merely awakening the Ancient Bloodline bring such tremendous benefits?
Wei Chen found it hard to imagine.
He looked at the old man and swallowed hard. "Senior, how did you do it?"
"I simply awakened your Ancient Bloodline. The Ancient Bloodline mixed with your Demon Lotus Bloodline achieved this effect, which I also did not expect," the old man replied.
As he spoke, his gaze turned somewhat strange as he scrutinized Wei Chen.
Feeling uneasy under the old man's gaze, Wei Chen asked, "Senior, who are you?"
"Who am I? Heh, to be honest, I've almost forgotten my own identity," the old man answered. After a pause and a sigh, he said lightly, "In the Ancient World, I had a title; I was known as the Divine King."
