"Wei Wuyin!""Your Majesty!"
"Head Honcho!"
Wei Wuyin left the lower deck and was greeted by a cacophony of voices. The last of which belonged to none other than Tuo Bihan. Everyone had long since gotten used to his chronic renaming, and even found it amusing. While some were sweetly said, suffused with warmth and emotions that had long since festered within the heart, reinforced by intimate and unforgettable memories.
Yao Houyi and Shui Fengbao had resumed their duties as pilot and battery, respectively. Young Master Shang leaned against the railing with his legs dangling, feeling as comfortable as ever, with a flagon in one hand and a poem on his lips.
Su Mei was seated cross-legged behind Ming Shufeng; she poured vibrant, luminous starforce into the latter's back as their pale complexion was almost like a ghost's, sickly and otherworldly. The Heavenly Seer had clearly suffered a backlash and her current fragility could be seen at a glance. When she spoke out in greeting, her voice was hoarse and weak.
Yue Songli walked over, her figure as tantalizing as the sweetest cake and her excessively bountiful chest as mighty as ever. Her smile was dazzling to behold. She didn't seem as if she was missing Wei Wuyin in the slightest. It was as if he hadn't left. To her, he hadn't. Just like Qing Qiumu, Wei Wuyin ensured each woman had a communication channel with him that could even transmit through the vortex-zone. All he had to do was project a bit of Draconic Void Starforce and conjure a Void Image, capable of interacting and even observing the process of her paintings.
This versatility was only possible because Wei Wuyin didn't have to directly invest all his attention to cultivating, and only when concocting, so he could take periodic breaks. While they only communicated through mental transmissions, almost everyone here, Liu Suyin and Cao Cuifen included, realized that they had lines to Wei Wuyin. When he emerged earlier as a tangible clone, all except Qing Qiumu's Void Image vanished briefly.
Wei Si was napping next to Qing Qiumu's art station. The silly hulk of a man resembled a young baby as he lay there without the slightest sense of danger.
Shortly after exiting, Wei Wuyin was given a hug by Yue Songli. She blushed shyly, but she didn't retreat after Wei Wuyin replied by squeezing her slender waist and pressing her against his chest as if trying to feel every inch of her. Wei Wuyin never once shied away from showing the world that she was his, and her heart fluttered with embarrassing urges and waves of warmth.
Qing Qiumu watched quietly, her thoughts only known to herself and Wei Wuyin. He looked over and smiled. Her emerald eyes glittered briefly. She lightly chuckled as if she was told a joke; her smile almost stole color from the stars.
After bringing the still-blushing Yue Songli along by hand, Wei Wuyin talked to Cao Cuifen, Liu Suyin, and Tuo Bihan for a bit before arriving beside Su Mei and Ming Shufeng.
"She tried to divine a 'supreme' fortune within the region," Su Mei stated directly. She placed emphasis on the word supreme while redoubling her efforts to heal Ming Shufeng's extensive wounds that reached her soul and Mystic Core, cracks littered the latter.
Wei Wuyin gave the pale Ming Shufeng a look and brought out a tiny vial of liquid. Golden mystic runes swam within the elixir and it exuded a type of exuberant aura of the soul and life. "Imbibe this," he instructed.
Ming Shufeng's eyes shone brightly as she saw the bottle of liquid that was a peak-tier Mystic-Earth elixir after noticing that it contained nine different types of runes and they were all complete, exuding an aura of incredible unfathomability and richness. Swallowing a wad of saliva, she thanked Wei Wuyin profusely as she accepted the vial with one hand overlapped on the other.
Wei Wuyin accepted her thanks. Seeing how she had worked hard these last few weeks, doing an impeccable job, and showcasing her willingness to go above and beyond even at the cost of great consequence, Wei Wuyin decided to give her a variant of Wen Mingna's divination method.
"Your Majesty..." Ming Shufeng weakly said while glancing at Yue Songli for a moment. This woman was emanating a charm that tempted her. What did she eat to grow so big naturally? This thought had appeared in her mind dozens of times over the last few weeks. If she had mountains like that, would Wei Wuyin do everything in his power to nestle between them?
"Yes?"
"I could only grasp a few vague details. I wonder if you wish to hear?"
"Go on."
Weakly nodding, Ming Shufeng relayed all she had grasped. Supposedly, there was a time-sensitive supreme fortune nearby, but it was on the verge of being sent elsewhere. In her estimation, the supreme fortune was allocated by the heavens for another. She didn't know who it was for, why the wait, how long it'd remain in that area, or what it was.
In her attempts at divining for its purpose and location, she grasped that it was essential for the cultivation of higher stages beyond the Rune King level, otherwise known as the Earthly Saint Phase. It was because she attempted to push for greater information that she suffered a backlash.
"Laws? Origin State?" Wei Wuyin's thoughts swirled after hearing the vague details. He had a feeling that Wen Mingna would have obtained greater details about the Heavenly Daos' intentions and this fortune, but he didn't dwell on it.
Yao Houyi was already piloting in a full circle since Su Mei gave the order, so they were roughly within a hundred billion miles of the supreme fortune's area. Somewhere in that range, it was located.
But they saw nothing from the now fiery red Minor Elysium.
A hundred million miles was excessively large, but this was the best Ming Shufeng could do in terms of its general area. She was unable to pinpoint exactly, showcasing that its power vastly exceeded her cultivation base. If this was the Neo-Dawn Stellar Region in one of its more populated regions, it was best to just accept one's losses and curse the heavens.
However, they were currently within the Void-Blank Space between galaxies. The entire region was a nest of uncertain variables that could kill even Sages.
Wei Wuyin's Celestial Eyes swept the world for three seconds.
"Ah. Found it."
Wei Wuyin's light, airy words startled Ming Shufeng instantly. Su Mei's pure black eyes revealed no surprise. He gave Yue Songli a look, and she shyly removed her hand from his, her eyes urging for him to return swiftly as if she wanted to tell him something.
Wei Wuyin took a single step forward and found Cao Cuifen and Qing Qiumu's curious gaze locked onto his figure, not the slightest fear for his safety in their minds, only interest in what he was going to find. Meanwhile, Liu Suyin's heart was pounding with a little anxiety. Despite being told of the dangers of the space between galaxies, just these small gestures showcased miles of confidence in him and a loving heart.
"Be right back," Wei Wuyin said as he stepped off the ship. He dropped downwards like an anchor falling from the sky, sinking several thousand miles in a blink of an Ascended's eye beneath the ship's location; the Infinite Void Wings manifested from the void attached to his back as they stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.
"..."
Soundlessly, Wei Wuyin vanished.
Young Master Shang was numb to all the strange and wondrous things Wei Wuyin could do at this point. The level of heaven-matching confidence was admirable as well, but he felt that it was too excessive. That said, he couldn't help but furrow his brows as he took another sip.
He couldn't sense a single inkling of information about Wei Wuyin's cultivation base. The aura of mortality was intermixed with the aura of unfathomability, the signature of the Mystic Dao. He couldn't even glimpse into his soul aura to determine his age. Was he an Ascended being already? But there was no Mystic Ascension phenomenon...
Now that he thought about it, Wei Wuyin's current aura was both extraordinary and ordinary. It gave him a sense of perfection and simplicity, as if embodying the pinnacle of the Mortal Dao and the pure qualities of the Mystic Dao. The more he learned of him, the harder it was to get an estimate on this Imperial Law-possessing Mortal.
"What's this fortune?" Yue Songli asked after a few seconds passed. It was as if she was interrogating Ming Shufeng a little.
Ming Shufeng didn't dare to be slow in her reply. It was abundantly clear that Yue Songli was precious to Wei Wuyin. "I don't know exactly. But I know it's sure to be amazing."
Yue Songli's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't like Heavenly Seers and felt they were untrustworthy. After all, she was kidnapped for five hundred years and her mother had been unable to find her despite spending wealth for divination.
Ming Shufeng felt the distrust stemming from her gaze. She could only lower her head and slowly rubbed the vial anxiously with her thumbs. If Yue Songli said some choice words, she didn't know if Wei Wuyin would do away with her and find someone else. She felt her position was on a knife's edge out in this vast expanse, and she needed to prove herself to be useful to the extent of irreplaceable.
Yue Songli's slight gesture of distrust only exacerbated her paranoia, the teachings of the Grand Seer constantly echoing in her heart regarding dealing with those blessed by the heavens, especially males.
"Fine," Yue Songli looked away into the vast expanse.
An arm slowly found its way around Yue Songli's waist, and her smile returned. She looked over and found Wei Wuyin who was holding her tight satisfying her need for physical intimacy with small doses, inspecting a glowing crystal of frosty blue mist. Within the crystal, a pure white mist formed by the Law of Origin encapsulated whatever was at the center.
Shui Fengbao immediately felt a surge of discomfort from merely looking at the crystal. "Law of Ice?!"
Young Master Shang was stunned to an extreme. "Is that...is that an Edict Seed?!?! A REAL EDICT SEED?!" He was shockingly quick for someone that drunk all day, hurriedly moving toward Wei Wuyin with eyes as bright as literal stars, exerting an Ocular Spell that was trying to determine the object's identity.
Besides the frosty mist surrounding it, the crystal structure was made of solidified void in crystal form. However, he still discovered the origins of the item, elevating Wei Wuyin's interest.
"What's an Edict Seed?" Cao Cuifen walked forward and asked, her eyes, like the rest, were glued to the crystal. Wei Wuyin leaked some of its aura for Young Master Shang to give a better sense.
"An Edict Seed is a natural treasure of the heavens that can only be formed by a fragment of the respective Realm of Law's quintessential essence being separated and descending upon our world. Which can happen in various ways. It can invoke the Heavenly Resonance of the Three Thousand Realms for whatever realm it originated from and assist in forming a natural Seed of Law. The success rate is...almost perfect." Young Master Shang was unable to believe that Wei Wuyin had captured an Edict Seed!
It was essentially a Seed of Law!
All of those aboard the Minor Elysium knew that laws were required for cultivation beyond the Rune King and World Emperor levels. Their eyes lit in unison with interest.
"It seems to be an Edict Seed of Ice, a fragment of the realm of Elemental Laws that contains that specific essence. But an Edict Seed isn't that simple-natural things never are in the world of cultivation, and this stays true for both the Mortal and Mystic Dao, such as Solar Stars and Mystic Radiance Belts.
"It's said that the Edict Seed can nourish a Seed of Law itself at speeds far surpassing ordinary means. It's a peerless object of the heavens that could cement one's path of cultivation into the stage of a True Sage. This is something that every last being of the Mystic Ascendant Realm would kill for, and even those at the Resonant Soul Realm would destroy civilizations over! After all, Laws only become more important as one progresses in their cultivation. At least, that's what I've been told." Young Master Shang was knowledgeable of an Edict Seed because he always wished to find one!
Who wouldn't?!
Wei Wuyin didn't doubt the assessment of this item. Fortunately, it was currently sealed by Void Crystallization, or its aura would be overpowering. He found it so quickly because its aura bore remarkable similarities to the trees that Qing Qiumu was surrounded by. It was located within the folds between chaotic and fixed space, strangely enough.
It also created a type of forbidden zone of icy aura that greatly increased the Chill of the Dark Void, pushing it to lethal levels for even Mystic Overlords, those at the Ascended Saint phase. If one wasn't familiar with mana to a high enough level, they might just consider it a pseudo-Absolute Void Region.
As a possessor of the Law of Origin, a True Void Dragon human-hybrid body, and Zenith Origin State, there was absolutely no danger to him. Wei Wuyin had long grasped the principles of the Law of Ice.
"It's so pretty!" Liu Suyin's eyes betrayed her emotion as she mindlessly spoke out her thoughts. When she said that, everyone looked her way.
"Haha! It is, isn't it?" Wei Wuyin clenched his fist lightly around it and then opened his hand, revealing a beautifully icy-blue crystal that exuded a comforting cold chill. He walked over toward Liu Suyin with steady steps and, to her shock, placed the crystal on her neck tied by a string of solid originforce.
"Consider it a gift. A pretty item for my pretty woman. Only that will do it justice and highlight its qualities." Wei Wuyin commented.
Liu Suyin was speechless.
Young Master Shang was dumbfounded to the point he felt reality wasn't real. Should he have been born as a woman? Was the heavens so cruel?
Su Mei smiled. Despite hearing Resonant Soul Realm experts would kill for it and its disgusting value, Wei Wuyin was Wei Wuyin, and this gesture was bound to cause changes in Liu Suyin's heart permanently. Moreover, every last woman here would instantly realize that this item that others would slaughter worlds for was merely a trinket in his eyes, sufficient enough to accentuate the beauty of those he called his. The treatment was unparalleled.
Liu Suyin touched her newfound gift, the Icy Edict Necklace, and felt both comforting cold and extraordinary warmth. She blushed as her eyes looked at Wei Wuyin with looks that were lustful and ravenous. Mortal women often loved things like diamonds and jewelry, mostly for how pretty they looked and how valuable they were, but this was something far more pretty and considerably more valuable. How could she not feel moved?
Ming Shufeng was taken aback by how none of these women were exhibiting signs of jealousy or envy as Wei Wuyin brought Yue Songli here and there, but when she saw the necklace around Liu Suyin's neck that could be classified as a supreme fortune...
She realized that Wei Wuyin was a master juggler of emotions, satisfying each one of them in their own way, and ensuring not a single one felt neglected. How could they feel envy then? They were washed with love and satisfaction!
Wei Wuyin then made his way to the front of Minor Elysium with his arm around Yue Songli's waist, bringing her with him. Qing Qiumu and Cao Cuifen followed close behind.
"Unfortunately, we can't explore more."
Yue Songli quietly voiced at this moment, "You've already fulfilled your first promise." Her words were like a gentle whisper of wind, and she couldn't help but feel wonderful. Wei Wuyin had promised that they would see a scene of great wonder and phenomena together. They hadn't just seen one or two!
Just the sight of the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone was sufficient to fulfill that requirement, but Wei Wuyin had already gone above and beyond in that regard and had even brought her to a Star Devourer's corpse to scoop out a cup of Star Void Liquid. She was even using it to make some new paint.
Before the last plan that was always making her heart pound at the mere thought, only the grand banquet remained.
Wei Wuyin was considerably ahead of schedule.
"..." Wei Wuyin looked at her.
Yue Songli felt that she could hear what Wei Wuyin wanted to say, and she looked out into the stars. "I don't need to know if you think I shouldn't." Her words carried her true feelings. Since before, Wei Wuyin hadn't told her why a Sage was willing to act against her and why Trueborn seized her. Moreover, Wei Wuyin seemed to have known for a long time.
If he hadn't told her yet, then it was only so that she wouldn't worry unnecessarily. People wanted her? She could just consider herself as a galaxy-rending beauty. That was enough of a reason, especially in a world where strength reigned supreme.
Wei Wuyin felt a brief pang of guilt after hearing that. However, it was best for her, a Pure Catalyst of Three Principles, to not know. At least...until she reached the Heavenly Saint Phase.
It was only brief because...
"You'll protect me, right?" Yue Songli softly asked, her tone revealing the fragility of her sense of safety.
"With my everything," Wei Wuyin said with a sharpness sufficient to slice through worlds, realms, and laws.
Yue Songli's lips formed an arc of indescribable allure, enough to enchant the heart at the mere sight for a thousand years. "I want a very big banquet, just like you said, with lots and lots of people."
Wei Wuyin lightly breathed out and nodded.
"We're leaving now!" He announced to the others. Su Mei, Su Mei's shadow, Tuo Bihan, Yao Houyi, Shui Fengbao, Zuhei, and Luo Ning all heard his voice, and their expressions changed in synchronicity. While the others were Wei Wuyin's companions, they were Ascendants. Their task was not to enjoy the scenery and receive gifts for having a soft body and lovely smile.
Wei Wuyin pushed out his free hand toward the front of the ship. The entire Dark Void trembled.
Pop.
Void Portal Creation! GALACTIC RANGE!
PUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIII!!!
A gargantuan jet-black Void Portal exploded into existence with a thunderous, strange-sounding boom that sent shivers down each of their spines. It stretched for thousands of miles and rapidly shrunk down to a mile, the edges releasing light-grey roiling clouds with silvery lightning and drops of dark-grey liquid swimming within.
Young Master Shang's jaw dropped! Did he just...
Before he could finish that thought, Minor Elysium entered the Void Portal with mind-blowing speed.
Only then did Young Master Shang's thought finish!
...TEAR A FREAKING HOLE THROUGH THE VOID?!
-----
White Abyssal Galaxy, Umbral Abyssal Galactic Zone.
Outskirts of the Umbral Abyssal Galactic Zone, a fiery red vessel seemingly appeared out of thin air. On board was a group of mortals and Ascended beings that would shake this galaxy!
At an outpost at the edge of the Galactic Zone and the edge of the galaxy itself, a group of armored figures looked out into the Dark Void and was taken aback.
"An incoming VESSEL!"
"HALT!!"
"POWER DOWN YOUR FORMATIONS IMMEDIATELY! OR BE TREATED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE AND DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY!"
These words were in the language of Mysticism, suffused with power and presence far exceeding an Earthly Saint!
