The true benefits were all occupied by Wei Chen, and the remaining so-called Sea Palace contained little of value. Although it might still be considered a treasure within the Endless Divine Realm, it fell short of the term "Treasure."
Ordinary forces might view those items as treasures, but Wei Chen knew that in the eyes of the higher-ups at the Temple of Martial Arts, they were insignificant and not worth expending too much effort on.
Wei Chen had already given Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, a clear "hint." The rest was up to how Yue Songyang decided to interpret it.
Yue Songyang was no fool; he understood Wei Chen's meaning well.
He looked at Wei Chen and furrowed his brow, asking, "Wei Chen, how do you know there isn't much benefit down there?"
Qian Youshi and several Ancestor Xu Elders also turned their attention to Wei Chen, curious about Yue Songyang's question. In their eyes, Wei Chen was mysterious and might already know what lay beneath the Azure Green Pool.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "My instincts have always been accurate. Whether you believe it or not is beyond my concern."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Yue Songyang, Qian Youshi, and the other Ancestor Xu Elders felt a bit tipsy. How could he be so dismissive? Yet they also understood that Wei Chen was indeed Wei Chen; he was not just any ordinary disciple of the Temple of Martial Arts. They had no choice but to treat him with reverence.
If Wei Chen chose not to act, then Yue Songyang and Qian Youshi had no other options.
"Very well then, Wei Chen. What do you suggest we do?" Yue Songyang asked seriously.
Wei Chen replied lightly, "Just observe the changes without expending too much effort. If we can obtain some benefits easily, then it's not a loss. However, if it leads to significant losses for the Temple of Martial Arts, then it wouldn't be worth it. Duke Sui's Residence, the Yang Family, and Thunder Sword Sect are all waiting eagerly; let them take the lead while we pick up the scraps."
Upon hearing this, Yue Songyang, Qian Youshi, and several Ancestor Xu Elders exchanged glances and communicated silently through their spiritual senses before agreeing with Wei Chen's words. They all knew that at this point, Wei Chen would not speak falsely. Given his stance, they had no choice but to trust him unconditionally.
If they didn't believe him, what else could they do? Choosing to trust Wei Chen was not only an act of faith in him but also a demonstration of their attitude. They wanted to convey to Wei Chen how much confidence the Temple of Martial Arts had in his insights. He needed to take this seriously...
That was roughly the sentiment.
Wei Chen could sense that these old fellows were seasoned individuals; their thoughts were quite normal for people of their experience.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Elders, I am a member of the Temple of Martial Arts. I believe you have no doubts about that anymore, right? I killed Wei Yong and was driven out of Duke Sui's Residence. I can no longer be associated with them, so what do you think about that?"
An Ancestor Xu Elder quickly replied, "That's good. We all believe you are someone worth cultivating. Now that your combat strength has grown so strong, I fear none of us old fellows would be your match anymore. You can rest assured; all we want is for you to help our Temple of Martial Arts whenever it's convenient for you. That would satisfy us old fellows."
"Yes, Wei Chen," another elder chimed in. "We old fellows have no demands of you. The future belongs to the younger generation. Do as you see fit. We all support you. If you wish to become the Hall Master of the Temple of Martial Arts, we can endorse you and let Jin Ge step down early; you can take over."
Such words could only be spoken by those in powerful positions like the Ancestor Xu Elders. In the Temple of Martial Arts, Golden Spear Elder Master and Gongye Long the Elder held much power, but once the Ancestor Xu Elders made a decision, they could unite to overthrow a Hall Master and support a new one. Even for the sake of the greater good, Golden Spear Elder Master would likely consider stepping down without causing too much conflict.
The Temple of Martial Arts truly treated Wei Chen well.
Wei Chen felt a slight warmth in his heart. Even though he knew this was all for the future of the Temple of Martial Arts and to ensure he stayed there to serve them, he couldn't help but feel moved that several elders were considering impeaching Golden Spear Elder Master to elevate him.
However, being moved aside, Wei Chen deeply understood that he was not from this world and would eventually leave. As for becoming the Hall Master of the Temple of Martial Arts, he decided to let it go.
"Elders, you flatter me. While I am in the Southern Ming Divine Domain, I will do my utmost for the Temple of Martial Arts; you can rest assured about that. But I must also make it clear that I cannot stay in the Temple forever or continuously serve it. All I can do is give my best effort and act with a clear conscience." Wei Chen looked seriously at Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, Qian Youshi, and several Ancestor Xu Elders as he made this solemn promise.
Indeed, he could not remain in the Southern Ming Divine Domain indefinitely; however, this was merely Wei Chen's way of speaking. What he truly thought was that he was neither from the Southern Ming Divine Domain nor from the Endless Divine Realm. Eventually, he would leave the Endless Divine Realm behind, and at that time, the Temple of Martial Arts would only be a fond memory.
Wei Chen was well aware of this fact but could not voice it. In the minds of Yue Songyang, Qian Youshi, and the Ancestor Xu Elders, Wei Chen was destined to leave the Southern Ming Divine Domain since it wasn't particularly strong. They had no idea that what Wei Chen really meant was leaving the Endless Divine Realm altogether.
However, time is powerful; it can change many things. As time passes and situations evolve, they will surely come to understand.
The Endless Divine Realm is on the brink of chaos; this has already been foreseen by the Elder Ancestors of the Temple of Martial Arts.
"To give your all and act with a clear conscience," these eight words had already satisfied the core leadership of the Temple of Martial Arts greatly.
The Elder Ancestors looked at Wei Chen with smiles and said, "Wei Chen, do as you see fit. We know that the Temple of Martial Arts cannot contain you; those stronger Divine Realms are your true stage. You probably don't feel much threat here in the Southern Ming Divine Domain either; it must be rather unsatisfying for you."
"Wei Chenzi, do your best. We look forward to you creating your own legend within the Endless Divine Realm."
"That's right, we have confidence in you. You can create a brilliant legend throughout the Endless Divine Realm; we have never doubted that."
The Elder Ancestors began to speak well of Wei Chen. He smiled noncommittally, accepting their words.
"The elders are being too kind; I will work hard," Wei Chen said confidently.
At this point, Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, had nothing more to say. He looked at Wei Chen, paused for a moment, and asked lightly, "Wei Chen, what do you plan to do next?"
"The people from Privy Hall inexplicably want to kill me. I don't intend to endure that kind of threat. If they want to kill me, why shouldn't I want to destroy Privy Hall?" Wei Chen replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, along with Qian Youshi and Ancestor Xu Elder, were all taken aback. What was going on here?
"Wei Chen, do you want to deal with the people from Privy Hall?"
"The influence of Privy Hall is not weak; you need to think carefully."
"Yes, many people from Privy Hall have come. Our Temple of Martial Arts can only avoid their sharpness and do our best to protect you. If it comes down to a real confrontation, we would suffer greatly."
"Wei Chen, you don't need to worry about the threat from Privy Hall. With the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming here and so many people from Southern Ming Divine Palace around, plus your good relationship with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, they wouldn't dare take action against you. Even if they did try something sneaky, we would be aware and nothing would happen."
"The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming is watching over us; Privy Hall absolutely wouldn't dare launch a large-scale attack. Moreover, our Temple of Martial Arts is not weak either. If it comes to a fight, they are just making noise. Wei Chenyu, we guarantee your safety; the people from Privy Hall are nothing but bluster."
The Elder Ancestors were very concerned about Wei Chen's safety. They were already aware of the threat from Privy Hall and expressed their unwillingness for Wei Chen to confront them at this time.
They knew Wei Chen's strength was considerable, but even a strong hero could be overwhelmed by numbers. The forces of Privy Hall were definitely vast. Wei Chen and the people from Temple of Martial Arts combined would not even match half of Privy Hall's strength in the Eastern Forest. Given this comparison, how could they fight? No matter how one analyzed the current situation, it was clear that a confrontation was unwise; they could only focus on safety.
"Wei Chenzi, the people from Privy Hall are just pretending to deal with you; they don't dare to take action."
"This is a trivial matter. If you really can't swallow your anger, dealing with Privy Hall requires careful planning."
"Once we return to the Temple of Martial Arts, we will hold a meeting to discuss this matter. What do you think?"
The Elder Ancestors spoke earnestly, hoping that Wei Chen would not engage in a confrontation with Privy Hall in the Eastern Forest. The phrase "not worth the loss" was most accurate in this context.
Wei Chen smiled coldly and said, "Many have wanted to kill me over the years, yet here I am, alive and well, while those who sought my life are all dead."
Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, was stunned. Qian Youshi was stunned. The Elder Ancestors were collectively stunned...
Such words were incredibly domineering! Wei Chen's boldness left them speechless, unsure of how to respond.
However, their stance remained firm: there could be no conflict with Privy Hall in the Eastern Forest; it would undoubtedly lead to trouble.
"Wei Chen, think it over again. This matter is serious; we need to plan carefully!"
"Yes, Wei Chenzi, you should consider not only yourself but also the disciples of our Temple of Martial Arts. We old bones are indifferent, but once you truly decide to go to war with Privy Hall, we will definitely stand by your side. However, those ordinary disciples under us, those with average strength, will be in danger!"
"Wei Chen, this is extremely unwise. The people from Privy Hall are not easy to deal with. Even the mysterious Fire Tribe couldn't gain an advantage over them. If we act rashly this time, we will only suffer losses."
