“Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, are you feeling guilty at this moment?” The Ying Qin Supreme Deity glared fiercely at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, a surge of anger bubbling within, unsure how to release it.
“I do not feel guilty. We are in the same boat, and you should help me. Besides, there is nothing to do in the Endless Divine Realm; consider this a trip to the Golden Clan Secret Realm,” the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied calmly.
“A trip? Are you kidding me?” The Ying Qin Supreme Deity's face turned red with anger as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
If they truly started fighting, Wei Chen might join in, naturally helping the Ying Qin Supreme Deity to beat up the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
After some idle chatter, Wei Chen and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity followed behind the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming as they walked toward a town.
Fortunately, the Golden Clan’s attire was similar to that of the Endless Divine Realm; they could wear various colors. If it were like the Fire Tribe, which only allowed red clothing, or if everyone in the Golden Clan Secret Realm wore uniform golden outfits, it would have been impossible to blend in.
The three suppressed their auras and entered the town like commoners.
A new problem arose: what currency was used in the Golden Clan Secret Realm? To take a boat to Golden City, they needed to buy a ticket, but none of them had any money.
“There’s the dock over there. Let’s find a boat and sneak on board. Once we’re in a secluded area, we can take control of the boat and drift down to Golden City,” said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming as they arrived at the dock, observing the bustling crowd heading toward various wooden cruise ships.
There were many boats but also many people. The three could only look for an opportunity to board one.
They climbed onto a shabby vessel where an old ferryman with graying hair but strong arms—clearly a seasoned Old Ferryman who had spent years on the river—was operating. The boat was small, only able to accommodate four or five people, which suited Wei Chen and his companions perfectly.
“Three guests, where are you headed?” The Ferryman greeted them cheerfully; business was good today. His rundown boat typically didn’t attract much business since it was usually for short trips.
“To Golden City,” replied the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
“Golden City? That far? You three should take one of those larger boats that go directly to Golden City; they are reasonably priced. Riding my boat will not only be laborious but also quite expensive!” The Ferryman exclaimed in surprise.
“Don’t worry about that; we’ll hire your boat. One hundred Touchstones will be enough for you to buy a new one,” said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming confidently.
Touchstones were the currency in the Golden Clan Secret Realm and were quite valuable. Unfortunately, even the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming did not possess any…
“One hundred Touchstones? Sir, are you serious?” The Ferryman asked excitedly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming slightly released a breath of Metal Divine Power. Even though the Ferry Operator was just a commoner, he could sense the immense strength of the Supreme Deity's power. Such a prominent figure would not joke around and certainly wouldn’t care about a small sum of money.
"Do they have some special purpose?" the Ferry Operator thought to himself as he untied the ropes, allowing the Rundown Boat to drift downstream without needing to row, making it effortless.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, are you planning to kill this old man later?" Wei Chen asked telepathically.
"No, we have no business with him. Let him row the boat; once we reach Golden City, we can just skip out on paying," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied.
"A dignified Supreme God of the Southern Ming Divine Domain should be welcomed back to the Golden Clan Secret Realm in glory, yet here you are trying to cheat an old man out of his fare. Truly remarkable," Ying Qin Supreme Deity scoffed, feeling displeased.
Wei Chen suggested, "For someone like this old man, making a living isn’t easy. We should find an opportunity to rob a wealthy merchant and give him some money."
After all, Wei Chen was a kind-hearted person. While he was willing to kill when necessary, he still believed in maintaining basic fairness and justice in life and actions.
He never bullied the weak.
"Alright," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded in agreement.
The three fell silent, each admiring the scenery along the way.
Inside the Golden Clan Secret Realm, everything was bathed in gold; even the water appeared golden. However, this color was merely due to the Metal Divine Power; when scooped up, it was colorless and transparent. The scenery was pleasant at first glance, but after a while, it lost its novelty.
Fortunately, all three were highly skilled individuals who could remain calm and endure solitude…
Wei Chen immersed himself in studying the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, making good progress and feeling quite satisfied. Ying Qin Supreme Deity fiddled with the Kunlun Mirror, gradually enhancing his control over it, which helped soothe his mood.
Only the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt increasingly melancholic as he reminisced about past events after arriving in the Golden Clan Secret Realm.
Thus, the Rundown Boat sailed smoothly through the day. At nightfall, they docked to rest. The Ferry Operator busied himself with fishing and eating while Wei Chen and his companions practiced their cultivation inside the cabin without any disturbances.
Finally, on the seventh day of drifting, a magnificent medium-sized ship appeared within Wei Chen's line of sight.
The kind of ship they were looking at was clearly one that only the wealthy could afford.
"The ship bears the insignia of the Royal Family!" said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
"Royal Family? You have a Royal Family within your Golden Clan?"
"Yes, the lineage of the Golden Clan where the Patriarch resides is what we refer to as the Royal Family," replied the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
He walked onto the deck and said to the Ferry Operator, "Slowly follow that large ship."
"My lord, that's a Royal Family vessel! What do you intend to do?" The Ferry Operator was somewhat terrified. This was madness; was he really about to confront robbers? To attempt to rob a Royal Family ship took incredible audacity!
"Don't worry about it. Just focus on controlling the boat and following them. If you say another word, I'll kill you," warned the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
The Ferry Operator trembled in fear, not daring to utter another sound. He could only pray silently that he wouldn’t incur the wrath of the Royal Family, fearing he might be killed as well. Attempting to rob a Royal Family ship would surely lead to death!
Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were both speechless. The Supreme God of Southern Ming had actually stooped to threatening an elderly Ferry Operator? It was truly absurd!
Onboard the grand ship, festivities were in full swing, completely oblivious to the vessel trailing behind them. With so many boats on the Jinsha River, which served as a major route from the north to the southern Golden City, no one paid any mind to a single boat.
"Master, my Mental Strength is insufficient. Please help me investigate and see how strong those on that ship are," requested the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming from Wei Chen.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "If there are individuals with stronger Mental Strength aboard, my probing will expose us."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was left speechless.
"Killing God Senior, it's your turn now. Your Mental Strength is strong enough; you shouldn't encounter anyone stronger than you in such a place, right?"
Wei Chen could only turn to Killing God Senior for assistance.
"Killing God Senior" said, "You lot are truly foolish to come to this cursed place seeking trouble. Let me tell you, the Golden Clan Secret Realm will not assist you in dealing with the Bloodshed Shop."
Upon hearing "Killing God Senior's" words, "Wei Chen" quickly asked, "Killing God Senior, does that mean you have some knowledge about the Golden Clan?"
"Listen carefully. In the realm where the Bloodshed Shop is located, the Golden Clan is also a major family. There are at least twenty Twelve-Level Divine Realm Experts within the Golden Clan, roughly on par with the Bloodshed Shop's strength. The relationship between the Bloodshed Shop and the Golden Clan is relatively good; although they are not allies, they have many exchanges. That Supreme Deity of Southern Ming foolishly thinks he can pull the Golden Clan into helping against the Bloodshed Shop—ha! Not a chance," "Killing God Senior" sneered.
"Wei Chen" sighed, "Well, if we can't get their help, so be it. Our main purpose for this trip is to assist the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming in rescuing someone."
"The three of you have little strength. It's not that I look down on you, but your chances of success are nearly zero," "Killing God Senior" replied.
"That's only natural. Without your assistance, Senior Liu, how could we possibly succeed? But if you help us, it would be an easy task," "Wei Chen" countered.
"Killing God Senior" was left speechless.
The compliment from "Wei Chen" left "Killing God Senior" unable to refute.
"You should know that there aren't any strong experts on that ship; the strongest among them is only at the Seventh Level Divine Realm. If you're planning to rob them, wait a bit before making your move—there are too many eyes watching," "Killing God Senior" casually assessed the situation on the Royal Ship.
"Thank you, Senior," "Wei Chen" replied.
"I must warn you to avoid causing a commotion in the Golden Clan Secret Realm. There is a passage between the Golden Clan Secret Realm and the realm outside; the Golden Clan can come to assist at any time. If things escalate, even if we old fellows join forces, it won't matter," "Killing God Senior" warned "Wei Chen," causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you, Senior. I will be careful."
"Wei Chen" called over "Ying Qin Supreme Deity" and "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming," his expression grave as he whispered, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"The bad news," both "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming" and "Ying Qin Supreme Deity" replied in unison.
"Alright." "Wei Chen" nodded and said, "The bad news is that in the Spatial Plane where the Golden Clan Secret Realm and Bloodshed Shop are located—known as the realm's Spatial Plane—there is a passage. If things get out of hand, powerful forces from the Golden Clan will come to reinforce them. At that point, my senior helpers would also perish here; there would be no escape. Moreover, the Golden Clan has a good relationship with the Bloodshed Shop. This means that our mission here in the Golden Clan Secret Realm to persuade them against the Bloodshed Shop is impossible. I suspect that the Bloodshed Shop's Void Pressure has bypassed the Golden Clan Secret Realm because of its high position and due to their relationship with each other."
The bad news... was indeed quite dire!
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming showed a look of anxiety, while the Ying Qin Supreme Deity was already on the verge of cursing.
What are we here for? To seek trouble in the Golden Clan Secret Realm? To find abuse? To court death?
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity felt an overwhelming urge to return to the Endless Divine Realm.
Wei Chen added, "The good news is that the strongest person on that Royal Ship ahead is only at the Seventh Level Divine Realm. It's nothing we can't handle."
Compared to that bad news, the Ying Qin Supreme Deity couldn't even be bothered to listen to the good news. The bad was too bad, and the good was basically meaningless.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming clasped his fists towards Wei Chen and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity, saying, "This time it was my mistake. I thought I could persuade the Golden Clan to join forces against the Bloodshed Shop and also take my woman with me... Since the Golden Clan Secret Realm has ties with the Boundary Gold Clan, our journey is very dangerous. Let's return to the Endless Divine Realm."
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity quickly replied, "Exactly, let's hurry back. We shouldn't come to such a cursed place looking for trouble."
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, don't you want to see your woman? Since we're here, we should at least meet her once. As long as we don't confront the Golden Clan, there shouldn't be any danger. It's fine to start something without finishing it, but we can't have a beginning without an end," Wei Chen said calmly, giving the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming a deep look.
Starting something without finishing it but not having a beginning without an end...
This statement left both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity utterly astonished. Was this really Wei Chen's words? Why did it give off such a weak aura?
But upon further reflection, this statement contained profound life philosophy!
