A person's character is shaped by their environment at birth, leading to different personalities.
Ji Mei, born into a royal family, has always been driven by the ambition to become powerful and wield authority. However, Ji Min, who shares a similar background, lacks that same ambition. Ji Dingxuan respects Ji Min greatly and indulges her nature, treating her like a princess. This is in stark contrast to how Ji Pokong raises Ji Mei, treating her more like a boy. This highlights the importance of education in shaping one's character.
The women associated with Wei Chen have already gained the recognition of the Dark Mage. To the Dark Mage, each of these daughters-in-law seems well-suited to Wei Chen, each possessing their own strengths. Yet, Yan Qiqi, being the Demon King and the Boundary God of the Nine Immortal Realm, holds a special place in the Dark Mage's heart as the top contender without question.
Upon hearing Ji Mei's declaration about the Soul World, the Dark Mage felt very pleased with this granddaughter-in-law.
"Muen, what do you think?" The Dark Mage asked Muen and other high-ranking officials gathered around, all wearing expressions of joy.
Muen nodded and replied, "It's quite good. The Young Mistress needs someone ambitious and driven by her side. Yan Qiqi tends to be more gentle and unambitious. This Boundary God of the Soul World is quite impressive and worth nurturing."
Ji Dingxuan added, "Indeed, this girl is talented and rare. It's uncommon for someone her age to possess such drive! Ambition isn't something one can simply wish for. I suspect this girl named Ji Mei will be a capable partner for Wei Chen."
Ji Dingxuan is a magnanimous person; his only daughter is Wei Chen's fiancée. However, he sees nothing wrong with Wei Chen's other women and even praises Ji Mei highly. He understands his daughter's character—Ji Min is free-spirited and enjoys fun; there’s no sign of ambition in her at all. In the demon realm, having multiple wives is quite normal. Initially, Ji Dingxuan hoped to secure a primary wife position for Ji Min, but now he has given up on that idea because he knows it’s impossible. In Wei Chen's eyes, every woman holds equal status; there are no distinctions between primary wives and concubines. Wei Chen's power and status are so formidable that Ji Dingxuan no longer feels he has any "rights" to fight for his daughter.
When a man's strength is immense, he can change many things; what he desires will naturally come to him, and no one dares to impose restrictions on him.
Currently, Wei Chen possesses absolute authority over everything.
Ji Dingxuan understands that opposing Wei Chen's ways would bring no benefit to the Ji Family. To ensure their family's growth, they must follow in Wei Chen's footsteps—doing whatever he does is the way forward.
Moreover, Ji Dingxuan has long recognized that Wei Chen has his own reasoning behind his actions. The saying "old ginger is spicier" does not apply to him. Wei Chen operates efficiently and maintains excellent timing; while it may seem like he’s idling away time, he could very well be formulating grand plans in his mind.
In the eyes of high-ranking officials in the demon realm, Nine Immortal Realm, and Hua Xia World, Wei Chen receives unanimous praise; everyone respects him from the bottom of their hearts. Those like Ji Dingxuan who can get closer to Wei Chen genuinely think about what benefits him most and act accordingly without selfish motives.
Thus, Ji Dingxuan holds Ji Mei in high regard as well. As an elder of Wei Chen’s circle, they observe his women closely—who can support him best, who can assist him in his endeavors, and who can provide comfort during his times of distress—they are all aware of these dynamics.
At their age, they have experienced much and see things clearly.
Ji Mei is recognized as a talent by the high-ranking officials in the demon realm; she is someone who can help Wei Chen build his legacy.
After Ji Mei declared her intentions regarding the Great Six, the Soul World returned to normalcy. Everyone held genuine respect for Ji Mei, leading to a significant increase in Power of Belief that greatly benefited her.
Wei Chen helped Ji Mei establish a spatial coordinate in the Soul World, making it convenient for Ji Mei to return anytime to absorb the Power of Belief.
Next, they needed to consider the significant matter of relocating the Peach Blossom Sect.
Whether the Peach Blossom Sect should move to the Demon Realm or even to the Ancient World was a pressing question, and Wei Chen did not want to make a unilateral decision.
In the main hall of the Peach Blossom Sect, Wei Chen gathered Old Man Han Mang, Cold Elder, Pharmaceutical Sovereign, Musa, Mu Yang, Ginger Tooth, and others. Everyone knew that this meeting was called by Wei Chen for a significant negotiation regarding the Peach Blossom Sect. They had vaguely heard rumors that Wei Chen intended to take everyone to a higher Spatial Plane for cultivation.
Each person had their own considerations regarding Wei Chen's proposal.
Everyone was watching Wei Chen, waiting for him to speak. Throughout his time in the Peach Blossom Sect, Wei Chen had always been the decision-maker, and now more than ever, his strength was unimaginable to those present.
After surveying the room, Wei Chen calmly said, "I gathered you all here because I want to negotiate something with you."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, everyone perked up and sat up straight, listening intently.
"The army is about to leave; our supplies are running low, and we must return to the Demon Realm soon. Sister Wei Rou and the others will naturally follow me. What I want to ask you is whether you would like to go to the Demon Realm for cultivation? Or perhaps the Nine Immortal Realm? The Hua Xia World? The Three Major Spatial Dimensions are all within my control; you can choose wherever you wish to go," Wei Chen said as he looked at everyone.
They already knew that this was what Wei Chen wanted, but their thoughts varied. In fact, they had privately negotiated among themselves but had not reached a conclusion.
Old Man Han Mang was the first to speak up. He said solemnly, "In my opinion, this matter should be considered based on individual aspirations; mindsets and pursuits differ. There’s no need for a vote; those who want to go can go, and those who don’t can stay. It’s that simple."
Old Man Han Mang's words resonated with everyone. They understood that following Wei Chen would lead to great opportunities, while staying in the Soul World within the Peach Blossom Sect would not bring shame upon anyone. After all, the current Peach Blossom Sect was vastly different from before. Wei Chen had provided numerous cultivation methods, including techniques for harnessing elemental energy in the Soul World.
Moreover, Old Man Han Mang and Wei Chen had collaborated on creating a massive elemental energy formation that could gather thin elemental energy drifting in the void. This would allow individuals to continue cultivating in the Soul World after reaching Soul Realm Peak without much difference from going elsewhere.
Having a Boundary God within a Spatial Plane made an essential difference compared to not having one. Ji Mei's words gave hope to those in the Peach Blossom Sect. They realized that if everyone worked together, it could indeed bring about significant changes in their world.
For this reason, Old Man Han Mang believed that following Wei Chen into the Demon Realm might not be as beneficial as remaining in the Soul World. At least here, they were familiar with everything; the status of the Peach Blossom Sect was unassailable, and no one would come looking for trouble.
Old Man Han Mang scanned everyone's faces before finally resting his gaze on Wei Chen. He said softly, "Wei Chen, you have your own world and your own struggles and battles. Logically speaking, it makes sense for me to follow you and assist you. However, at my age, I no longer have a wandering heart. Staying in the Soul World is my choice. I only need a stable place for my research on formations. Currently, Cang Mountain and its surrounding area have been designated for our Peach Blossom Sect; it's absolutely quiet here for studying formations. If I make any new breakthroughs, I will inform you. With your strength, you can come and go like the wind; feel free to visit this old man anytime."
Hearing Old Man Han Mang's words made Wei Chen feel a bit emotional; he wasn't sure why he felt this way—his nose tingled with an urge to cry. Old Man Han Mang smiled but knew it was time for parting ways; he couldn't let go of his feelings for both the Peach Blossom Sect and Soul World. After all these years, it felt like home for him—he had long passed the age of striving for more.
A stable life with reliable resources and a quiet environment for studying formations was what he sought.
Wei Chen stood up and walked over to Old Man Han Mang. With a carefree smile, he embraced him briefly and said, "Old friend, don't be so sentimental. The Soul World is a fourth-tier Spatial Plane where time flows slowly. Perhaps with communication through Boundary Gods, time might pass slightly faster; however, if I cultivate in other worlds for hundreds of years, it will only feel like a few months here in the Soul World at most. I will come back to seek your guidance; just summarize your findings on formations so I can take advantage of them."
"Ha ha, good." Old Man Han Mang nodded; he had already decided to stay in the Soul World at the Peach Blossom Sect.
Wei Chen looked at Han Che.
As the brother of Old Man Han Mang, how would Han Che choose?
Han Che walked over to Han Mang and said firmly, "Son, don’t look at me. Naturally, wherever big brother goes, I go too. Why are you looking at me?"
"I knew it." Wei Chen smiled and said no more. The Pharmaceutical Sovereign had made the same choice; with both Han Mang and Han Che staying, he had no room for alternatives. Following the two older brothers meant at least having company. If he followed Wei Chen, he would have no one by his side, which was quite tragic and lonely to think about.
The three old men of the Peach Blossom Sect had all decided to remain in the Soul World. The rest depended on Ginger Tooth and Musa, as well as Mu Yang. Jiang Langying would definitely follow Mu Qingyan; although she was worried about her two sons, she was even more concerned about Mu Qingyan's precious daughter.
Wei Chen looked at Ginger Tooth, who showed signs of hesitation. He shook his head and said, "I’ll listen to Sha and Yang first."
Musa's expression was conflicted. He wanted to venture out with Wei Chen, but as the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect, could he leave? If he did, only three old men would be left—how could the Peach Blossom Sect function?
Just then, Mu Yang stepped forward. He looked deeply at Musa and said, "Brother, you should go with Wei Chen. I’ll stay in the Peach Blossom Sect."
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Musa asked in surprise.
"I understand your thoughts. Your talent is quite good; following Wei Chen is the best choice for you. As for me, staying in the Peach Blossom Sect to cultivate suits me just fine. After all, with my talent, once I reach a higher Spatial Plane, I would become a failure. I can't endure that kind of torment," Mu Yang replied with a smile.
