Old Man Han Mang pondered for a moment and chuckled, "Aren't you a god now, able to grant people long lives? I feel like I don't have much time left. You figure out what to do."
So that's it...
"Old man, you're already halfway in the grave. How long do you expect to live? Are you hoping for a second spring in life to find a wife?" Wei Chen teased.
Old Man Han Mang retorted angrily, "Don't be ridiculous! I just have some formations that I haven't fully researched yet and need some time."
"Alright," Wei Chen replied with a smile, then unleashed a surge of Divine Power, infusing it with the essence of his own life force into Old Man Han Mang's body.
In an instant, Old Man Han Mang felt rejuvenated, his entire being filled with explosive energy. A miraculous energy flowed within him, making him feel invigorated and mentally sharper. Even some formations he had struggled to comprehend for a long time suddenly became clear to him in just a few breaths.
"What kind of magic did you just perform?" Old Man Han Mang asked, wide-eyed as he looked at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen replied lightly, "Nothing much, just extended your lifespan by about a million years. But don’t get too excited; a million years isn’t something you can squander. I'll arrange the details later; just follow my lead. Your constitution makes it difficult for you to refine and absorb a Heart of the World. Star Power Physical Deification is also quite challenging..."
Wei Chen frowned and continued, "Star Power Physical Deification is your only option. You might try using formations to condense and absorb Stellar Power, controlling the movement of the stars; perhaps that could work."
With this thought, Wei Chen became excited. He had immense trust in Old Man Han Mang's formation assignments. Perhaps with Old Man Han Mang's help, they could create an entirely new method for cultivating Stellar Techniques, allowing most people to absorb Stellar Power and produce many individuals capable of reaching the eighth or ninth layers of Stellar Technique. They could even use Nuwa Stone as a catalyst to mass-produce gods.
This idea surged within Wei Chen's mind and became uncontrollable.
He quickly shared the cultivation method for Stellar Technique with Han Mang. The old man had quite good comprehension skills, especially when it came to formations; he was practically invincible in that regard. Before long, he informed Wei Chen that using formations to condense and absorb Stellar Power was indeed possible.
Wei Chen was overjoyed. He introduced Han Mang to Muen and Ji Dingxuan, instructing them to take good care of him before flying off alone.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chen arrived in the Southern Region of Soul World...
On the other side, Yan Qiqi appeared before Ji Mei, Ji Pokong, and several members of the Ji Family from the Upper Realm.
The sudden appearance of a delicate beauty startled the Ji Family members. Where did this person come from?
“May I ask who you are, miss? What brings you here?” a senior member of the Ji Family respectfully cupped his fists towards Yan Qiqi and inquired.
The members of the Ji Family were not fools; they could tell that this stunning beauty was no ordinary person. Moreover, the aura emanating from Yan Qiqi hinted at her being a royal of the demon race, sending shivers down their spines.
As a woman, Ji Mei felt an instinctive sense of threat upon seeing Yan Qiqi for the first time.
This kind of threat naturally arose among women when it came to men.
In reality, this feeling of threat was merely a psychological issue among women.
Ji Mei speculated that this beautiful girl, with her unfathomable strength, must be one of those from the Army in the sky, likely someone who followed Wei Chen.
However, she couldn't bring herself to feel hostility towards Yan Qiqi.
Firstly, Yan Qiqi was simply too charming; even women could appreciate her lovely face and dimples, along with her gentle demeanor. Secondly, the girl’s overwhelming power made it impossible for Ji Mei to harbor any resentment when even their own Senior Liu, a powerful figure from the Upper Realm, treated her with such respect.
The members of the Ji Family all looked at Yan Qiqi, waiting for her response.
Yan Qiqi smiled lightly, her dimples and long eyelashes making her irresistibly charming. She softly said, “My name is Yan Qiqi. I’m here specifically to find Sister Ji Mei.”
“Looking for me?” Ji Mei felt no surprise; she sensed right away that this person had come for her. Was the battle between women about to begin?
Ji Pokong flew forward and positioned himself in front of Ji Mei. He bowed respectfully to Yan Qiqi and said, “Your strength is unfathomable, but as a father, until I have answers, I will protect my daughter even at the cost of my life.”
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't harm Sister Ji Mei."
With that, Yan Qiqi took out the Heart of the World from Soul World and said lightly, "This sphere is the Heart of the World from Soul World. I refined it myself, and I've negotiated with Wei Chen. The Heart of the World from Soul World should be refined and absorbed by Sister Ji."
Upon hearing Yan Qiqi's words and seeing the Heart of the World from Soul World, Ji Pokong and Ji Mei were stunned. What was this? The Heart of the World from Soul World? What on earth was that?
Wait... she negotiated with Wei Chen?
Wei Chen?
Ji Pokong's eyes lit up with excitement as he respectfully asked, "May I ask, where is Wei Chen?"
"Oh, he's up there. I don't quite understand his intentions; everyone up there is his subordinate, including me," Yan Qiqi replied with a slight smile, her dimples round and her smile sweet.
No one could find her off-putting.
Her words echoed in the minds of the Ji Family members like thunder, lingering for a long time.
Wei Chen's subordinates?
Those powerful beings, billions of them, any one of whom could easily annihilate the top experts of Soul World—were all under Wei Chen?
What did that mean? What concept was this? What had happened with Wei Chen?
The members of the Ji Family were left speechless, feeling as if they were dreaming, lost in a fog.
Yan Qiqi smiled as she looked at the Ji Family members, or rather, at Ji Mei.
She had no interest in the other old men.
Who would inexplicably be interested in unfamiliar, unrelated old men?
The only person truly worthy of Yan Qiqi's attention was Ji Mei.
"Ji Mei, come with me. Let's find a quiet place to talk," Yan Qiqi said, looking at Ji Mei with a light smile.
Ji Mei involuntarily took a few steps forward but was stopped by the quick-witted Ji Pokong.
Ji Pokong looked at Yan Qiqi and coldly said, "Miss, whatever you have to say, it can be done right here."
Yan Qiqi pouted slightly, her sleeves waving gently, and in an instant, she vanished without a trace. Along with her disappearance was Ji Mei.
Ji Pokong and the others were taken aback. Although they suspected Yan Qiqi was powerful, they never imagined she could be strong enough to take someone with her and leave no sign behind! Their attempts to track her mental presence dissipated as if it had been severed by that girl’s hand.
"It’s either a blessing or a curse; if it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided. Let her go… Wei Chen, what on earth has happened to you? Are those powerful beings in the sky truly under your command?"
"Although Wei Chen has created some miracles and become a hot figure in the Soul World, he can't be this strong, can he? Does he have an astonishing identity?"
Ji Pokong thought that only a second-generation heir of that level could create such a massive influence.
They were thinking too simply. Only the son of the Supreme God from the Endless Divine Realm could wield such power. Of course, if he were truly the Supreme God’s son, he wouldn’t be so reckless as to flaunt his might with billions of armies. Wouldn’t that get him killed by the Supreme God? Moreover, seriously speaking, none of the Supreme God’s sons were wastrels; born into such an environment, they couldn’t possibly turn out that way.
…
Yan Qiqi brought Ji Mei to the Celestial Summit in the Soul World. She created a Divine Power Floating Disk beneath Ji Mei's feet that could last for a long time.
From high above, even the most majestic mountains of the Soul World were nowhere to be seen; the entire Soul World looked like a crystal-clear water sphere.
If it weren't for Yan Qiqi leading the way, it would have been impossible for anyone from the Soul World to fly to such an altitude of hundreds of thousands of miles. Below them was Wei Chen's Army, but at this moment, to Ji Mei, it seemed like just a black dot on the transparent water sphere.
Ji Mei felt one thing: it was incredibly high!
Logically, at such a height, the air should be extremely thin, and people from the Soul World wouldn't be able to stay in this area for long. However, thanks to Yan Qiqi's presence, she had infused Ji Mei with a surge of Divine Power, making everything manageable and even alleviating any fear of heights.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Qiqi. I've been with Brother Wei Chen for several hundred years. I am from the demon race, and my true form is that of a golden dragon." Yan Qiqi smiled sweetly at Ji Mei as she introduced herself.
Upon hearing Yan Qiqi's words, Ji Mei was completely confused.
Several hundred years together? But wasn't Wei Chen still at Peach Blossom Sect not long ago? And how old could Wei Chen possibly be?
Moreover, what exactly was the demon race? Did beast transformations into human forms count as being part of the demon race?
Ji Mei had a belly full of questions but dared not ask. Yan Qiqi's strength was simply too formidable; Ji Mei didn't want to offend her. After all, if she angered this humanoid golden dragon and got thrown down, it would be disastrous!
Yan Qiqi didn't linger on the topic either. She transmitted information about the Boundary God and the Endless Divine Realm along with methods for refining and absorbing the Heart of the World to Ji Mei.
"Sister Ji Mei, I know you have many questions, but if I told you everything now, wouldn’t it spoil the fun when you meet Brother Wei Chen? You can ask him yourself later. For now, just follow Brother Wei Chen's instructions and refine and absorb this Heart of the World from Soul World. By becoming the Boundary God of Soul World, you'll not only gain immense power and control over its life and death but also achieve eternal youth and immortality."
