In the cultivation system of the Witch Clan Continent, a wizard is not considered weak, to say the least. The people of the Witch Clan Continent have long lifespans, which provides them with extensive training periods. To those in the Yang Residence, Yang Liao is still merely a youth.
Do we really need three wizards to deal with Yang Liao?
Lady Wei glanced around, her cold gaze sweeping over the three generations of Yang Cheng, Yang Jin, and Yang Guang. She spoke in a chilling tone, "You are becoming increasingly foolish. First of all, that kid Yang Liao has demonstrated considerable combat strength by taking down so many assassins single-handedly. Moreover, are you all unaware that he now has two more helpers by his side?"
"Helpers? Who are they?" Yang Guang asked hurriedly.
Lady Wei replied calmly, "It is said that they are individuals brought back by Right Saint from outside. In their Ancestral Realm, they are top-tier powerhouses. While that may not mean much, those outsiders possess formidable skills and could cause unexpected trouble. We need three Wizard Realm assassins to ensure absolute certainty."
Upon hearing Lady Wei's words, the three men fell silent simultaneously, especially Yang Cheng, whose expression darkened considerably. Figures from the Wizard Realm are already quite impressive in the Witch Clan Continent. Yet to deal with a junior like Yang Liao, they had to summon such high-level individuals; it felt quite humiliating to them.
Lady Wei surveyed the room again and added, "This operation must not fail. If those two young men brought back by Right Saint become disciples of the Right Holy Academy, our situation will become precarious."
At this moment, Yang Jin furrowed his brow and asked, "Right Saint has been missing for so many years; we thought he was dead. Who would have guessed that upon his return, he would bring people connected to Yang Liao?"
"Right Saint is unfathomable; he is not someone our small Yang Family can provoke. What we don't know is whether the people he brought back are significant to him. If they are important to Right Saint, then we will be in trouble."
"Indeed, Right Saint hasn't shown himself for millions of years. Now that he has returned, his strength must have increased significantly. If those two fellows are valued by Right Saint, we won't be able to handle it." Yang Jin said nervously.
Yang Cheng snorted coldly and shot a glare at Yang Jin. "So this matter must be foolproof. Your wife is far more capable in this regard than you are. Learn from her; it's embarrassing for a grown man like you."
Lady Wei smiled and said, "Father, rest assured. Three first-level wizards will definitely be able to eliminate Yang Liao and those two young men. I've already made arrangements; we just need to wait for news here."
Yang Cheng nodded with a grin and said, "I trust you to handle this; our lineage relies on you."
There was no flattery in those words; it was an undeniable fact. In this lineage of Yang Cheng, Yang Jin, and Yang Guang, Lady Wei was indeed the backbone. Yang Cheng was aging, Yang Jin was timid, and Yang Guang was still young—none were particularly capable individuals.
In Mirror Lake Town, a caravan of horses steadily made its way northward, heading towards the Right Holy City.
Wei Chen, Shaohuang God King, and Dugu Qiubai rode at the front, exuding an air of authority.
It was somewhat amusing to think that both Wei Chen and Shaohuang God King were figures of dominance in their original worlds. Wei Chen was a singular ruler in both the Demon Realm and the Endless Divine Realm, while Shaohuang God King was a formidable overlord in the Ancient World.
Yet here in the Witch Clan Continent, they held no status at all. They relied on Dugu Qiubai's connection to the Yang Family's young master to gather a few followers, which sounded rather pitiful.
With the sun shining brightly, Wei Chen, Shaohuang God King, and Dugu Qiubai felt that this journey was worthwhile.
Wei Chen had received news about the Golden Divine Palace. Once his strength was sufficient, he planned to seize it at an opportune moment. Moreover, Dongfang Ming had not only died but had also contributed to Wei Chen's enhancement of Mental Strength through a cultivation method before his demise, which was excellent.
Dugu Qiubai had also reaped significant rewards. The harvest from Mirror Lake Town was no joke; he had solidified his position as the lord of Mirror Lake Town during this trip. Although it was just a small territory, having one’s own land in the Witch Clan Continent meant being among some impressive figures.
Most importantly, Dugu Qiubai had regained some of his strength from his Ancestral Realm and had eliminated several assassins sent by Lady Wei along the way.
In summary, this trip was highly rewarding.
"The Refining Spirit Technique," he mused. "The name sounds simple enough, but this Mental Strength enhancement cultivation method is truly top-tier. There’s nothing of this caliber in the entire Ancient World or Endless Divine Realm!"
Wei Chen quietly organized the cultivation method he received from Dongfang Ming. He now possessed another top-tier cultivation method. The Stellar Technique refined his body and enhanced his combat power, which was one of the prerequisites. The Refining Spirit Technique could strengthen his Mental Strength. Coupled with the power of the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, even when facing some experts from the Witch Clan Continent, Wei Chen felt temporarily secure.
The Refining Spirit Technique utilized scattered Mental Strength from the world to replenish one's own Mental Strength, somewhat akin to what Wei Chen practiced in the Soul Heaven World with the Three Souls and Seven Spirits cultivation realm.
"I can't afford to waste time. In such an unfamiliar place, every bit of strength gained is immensely beneficial."
Wei Chen acted on impulse, riding on horseback while his Stellar Technique operated automatically, continuously absorbing the stray Stellar Power and Solar Power around him. However, the Heavenly Witch Creation Technique passed down from his cheap old man, the Demon God, required quiet time for cultivation, which was impossible while riding.
The initial practice of the Refining Spirit Technique was inherently challenging, but Wei Chen's high Mental Strength made it surprisingly effective, yielding results that exceeded expectations.
In just a few hours, Wei Chen noticed a positive trend in his Mental Strength, which was extremely rare for him. Given that his foundational Mental Strength was already strong, any increase was incredibly difficult to achieve.
"Wei Chen, Dongfang Ming is dead. Do you think we’ll be discovered when we return to the Right Holy Academy?" Shaohuang God King asked with some concern while Wei Chen focused on enhancing his Mental Strength.
Wei Chen frowned slightly; he was unsure of how the Right Holy Academy viewed outsiders. Logically, if a few people went missing, it shouldn't be a big deal.
He communicated telepathically, "The Right Holy Academy is so large that it should be fine. After all, Dongfang Ming wasn't even a disciple yet; they probably won't care until he becomes an official disciple."
"That's true. However, during our time at the Right Holy Academy, although it seems we have quite a bit of freedom, we actually have none at all. There are always eyes watching us in secret. Since Dongfang Ming came out with us this time, he must have been noticed. Once we return to the Right Holy Academy, they will know immediately. I just wonder if they will cause us any trouble," Shaohuang God King replied calmly.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry; it will be fine. Even if the Right Sage finds out, what can they do? Compared to that Fellow Dongfang Ming, our status in the Right Sage's eyes is clearly more important."
Wei Chen held a genuine respect for the Right Sage. Although the Right Sage and the Endless Divine Realm were not part of the same cosmic system as the Small Celestial Realm or Great Celestial Realm and had played tricks during battles against Outsider Demons—giving off a somewhat ambiguous vibe—the Right Sage's strength commanded respect.
As always, in any world, strength dictated respect. To survive well, one could only work hard; otherwise, everything would be in vain.
The Right Sage possessed immense combat power; even True Gods from Wei Chen's world and ancient Ancestral Gods were no match for him. It seemed that only Wei Chen's cheap old man, the Demon God, had the strength to contend with the Right Sage.
Wei Chen was never one to blur moral lines. He did not entertain thoughts of fulfilling the Demon God's ambition to destroy the Witch Clan; even if he possessed such power, he would not act on it—that was simply not his style.
For him personally, focusing on training in the Witch Clan Continent and returning to guard the Endless Divine Realm against Bloodshed Shop was what truly mattered.
"Indeed," nodded the Shaohuang God King. "In a world where the strong are revered, the death of a few people is nothing significant. Dongfang Ming died as he should have; someone of Right Sage's caliber surely wouldn't care about the lives of such insignificant figures."
"Haha, in Right Sage's eyes, we are just small players as well. It's even uncertain whether we can become disciples of Right Holy Academy or achieve success in our cultivation there," Wei Chen said with a hint of bitterness. Once upon a time, he too was among the top figures, but there are always stronger individuals out there, and the path of cultivation is endless—this saying holds true.
"Dongfang Ming's strength, if placed in the Endless Divine Realm, would only be around level ten in Divine Realm. We shouldn't belittle ourselves; the Endless Divine Realm is quite similar to the Small Celestial Realm. Above the Small Celestial Realm is the Great Celestial Realm, and above that is the Divine Realm. This means that the gap between the Endless Divine Realm and Witch Clan Continent isn't that vast," Shaohuang God King reassured Wei Chen with a smile.
Wei Chen thought about it and agreed; the Divine Realm should only be slightly weaker than Witch Clan Continent. The difference between Endless Divine Realm and Witch Clan Continent is merely two or three levels—not too significant. Their strength surpasses Dongfang Ming by a large margin; it was just that at first, they were unaware of Dongfang Ming's true capabilities, leading them to believe they were on par.
As they participated in the selection competition for Right Holy Academy, Wei Chen and Shaohuang occupied certain advantages. When Right Sage brought them along, he never considered that they might fail.
The horse team moved steadily forward; the three were not in a hurry to rush ahead, maintaining a leisurely pace reminiscent of sightseeing.
"This kind of life is quite nice; it gives us a sense of presence. Back in the Endless Divine Realm, we flew back and forth, covering thousands of miles in an instant, which actually lacked meaning. We flew too fast and often missed out on the scenery along the way—a regrettable thing," Wei Chen remarked.
Hearing this, Shaohuang God King nodded in agreement. "That's right. Like now, slowing down allows us to relax our minds."
"It feels more pleasant this way, but true relaxation is impossible. Even though we've arrived here, we mustn't forget that the crisis in Endless Divine Realm has not been resolved. We need to cultivate diligently and return as soon as possible," Wei Chen expressed his concerns about the situation in Endless Divine Realm. Although they had extracted Earth Essence to block the passage temporarily, it was only a stopgap measure.
What worried Wei Chen most was that extracting Earth Essence was extremely detrimental to Endless Divine Realm. They needed to find a suitable Spatial Plane to extract Earth Essence and return it to Endless Divine Realm.
This was also one of Wei Chen's objectives while on Witch Clan Continent. With its immense strength and control over numerous Spatial Planes, as long as he could gain some power under Right Sage's command, everything would become manageable.
