Wei Chen stared in astonishment at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity, murmuring, "Another year has passed?"
"Yes, a whole year! Master, you must have entered some independent space again. In a deep-water environment, no matter how powerful one is, it’s impossible to stay for a year," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied.
Wei Chen forced a smile and nodded. He had no sense of time passing during that year; even when he was in the Divine Sword Space, he felt no delay. It was just like being in the Heart of the Fire God space, where it felt like only an hour had passed, yet eight years had actually gone by.
"It seems these strange places are not worth visiting anymore. Let me calculate; it's only been a year since Bloodshed Shop took people to the Endless Divine Realm."
"These Divine Vessels have their own spaces that flow much slower than the outside world. While eight years may pass outside in a blink, inside it feels like just a moment."
"Regardless, I have obtained the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword; this trip was not in vain."
Wei Chen thought to himself and asked, "Was Old Ferryman driven away? Has his memory been erased?"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded. "Don't worry; everything has been taken care of."
"Good. This Rundown Boat has been here for so long without raising any suspicion among passersby, right?" Wei Chen asked again.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming explained, "No, boats often stop here to search for treasures. It's just that our boat looks a bit shabby; passersby probably think we are dreaming of catching a goose with a toad."
"Whatever," Wei Chen chuckled nonchalantly and then turned to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, asking, "Your Beast Clan Bloodline has awakened quite a bit; you must be at the Eleventh Level Divine Realm now?"
"Yes, I just broke through to the Eleventh Level Divine Realm recently. Half of my bloodline is Golden Bloodline and half is Beast Clan Bloodline. I believe it won't be long before I reach the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, and my Beast Clan Bloodline will continue to grow stronger."
Hearing this from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, Wei Chen smiled and nodded. "As long as you can accept your identity calmly, the power that your Beast Clan Bloodline brings will astonish us all."
"I agree. The strength of my Beast Clan Bloodline is indeed formidable. I’m already wondering what it will be like after reaching the Twelfth Level Divine Realm."
By now, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had stopped thinking about the Kunlun Mirror. It was in Ying Qin Supreme Deity's hands now; he could use it however he wanted unless Wei Chen requested it back. Otherwise, it would remain with Ying Qin Supreme Deity indefinitely. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming no longer needed the Kunlun Mirror.
"Let’s go; we can't afford to waste any more time," Wei Chen said. After spending an entire year resurfacing from underwater, this exceeded his expectations—time was becoming increasingly tight, and there could be no further delays.
"Master, have you obtained that divine sword?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked.
"We got it, but it's not me using it," Wei Chen said with a smile.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity did not press further. Wei Chen had many secrets, and it was unrealistic to expect to know them all at once. They could only wait for Wei Chen to be in a good mood and reveal bits and pieces to them.
The Rundown Boat drifted downstream, making good time under the starry night, and after ten days, they arrived safely at Golden City.
Upon reaching the dock, the Rundown Boat was casually left in a spot. Such a rundown vessel would likely be unwanted near the luxurious Golden City, even if offered for free. Moreover, there was no concern about theft; after all, it would be impossible to use that boat on the return trip. Without the Ferry Operator, navigating upstream would be quite difficult.
The magnificent Golden City came into view for Wei Chen, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
It was the first time for both Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity to witness Golden City, and they were slightly taken aback. The largest city in the Golden Clan Secret Realm was extraordinary; its walls towered over a hundred feet high, adorned with formations that deterred any would-be climbers.
"The walls of Golden City are symbolic," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming explained with a smile. "In the Golden Clan Secret Realm, there is only internal strife; large-scale wars do not exist. No one comes to attack Golden City."
"In history, when Golden City was built, there were other clans surrounding the Golden Clan Secret Realm. The walls were constructed so high to prevent those clans from invading. Later on, as the Golden Clan grew powerful, they wiped out those clans, rendering the walls merely decorative."
As he spoke, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming led the way toward the city gate.
At the City Gate stood a squad of soldiers clad in golden armor, exuding an imposing presence.
"The soldiers are also symbolic. There are no formalities for entering or exiting Golden City; no checks are necessary as long as one does not leap over the walls to enter. The soldiers are just there for show; they don’t concern themselves with anything unless there's fighting within Golden City itself. Sometimes they may seal off access during conflicts to eliminate enemies."
Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity listened quietly as the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming introduced them to their surroundings. Together they entered Golden City without encountering any inspections. Within the Golden Clan Secret Realm, one needed a key from the Golden Clan to enter; outsiders were virtually nonexistent and thus posed no threat.
"The Golden Clan Secret Realm is like an empire," he continued. "The Royal Family holds power while the Elder Patriarch acts as the emperor. Occasionally, some may defy the Royal Family's orders, but their fates are dire. Without Twelve-Level Divine Realm Experts leading them, it is impossible to overthrow the Royal Family's rule. In fact, only one person in the entire Golden Clan Secret Realm has reached Twelfth Level Divine Realm—the Elder Patriarch himself. Years ago, when Xiaoxiang Sword God wreaked havoc in the Golden Clan Secret Realm, it suffered severe damage that took millions of years to recover from."
"In the central square of Golden City stands a kneeling statue of Xiaoxiang Sword God, despised by millions. While such an act is an insult to a powerful figure, given that Xiaoxiang Sword God killed so many experts from the Golden Clan, their actions are understandable."
Hearing this, Wei Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Is anyone guarding that statue?"
"Yes, and their strength is not weak either. Normally within the Golden Clan, no one would dare to vandalize Xiaoxiang Sword God's kneeling statue. However, I don't know what got into the Patriarch; a formidable team has been assigned to guard it day and night. No one can cause any damage under their watchful eyes," replied the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming calmly.
Wei Chen asked, "What kind of strength are we talking about?"
"A Ninth Level Divine Realm and eleven Eighth Level Divine Realms," replied the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, what would you think if I were to destroy that statue?"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Master, you want to ask me how I feel about the Golden Clan now, right?"
"Exactly," Wei Chen nodded.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming continued, "Well, I've gradually accepted my beast tribe identity and have gained tremendous benefits from it. As for the Golden Clan, I don't have much feeling towards them now. I can't blame the entire Golden Clan for my father's death, but when I become strong enough and the opportunity arises, killing the Elder Patriarch to accompany my father in death is the least I can do. Although I can't say I hate the Elder Patriarch that much right now, the hatred for my father's murder must be avenged; it's a goal, not just a simple act of revenge."
"As for the Golden Clan, if you have the ability to do as you wish, then go ahead; it doesn't matter to me."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming looked deeply at Wei Chen. He suspected that Wei Chen had inherited the Xiaoxiang Sword God's divine sword in that divine sword pit and had already aligned himself with the Xiaoxiang Sword God. Such things were quite normal.
"Master, as long as you don't ask me to slaughter the people of the Golden Clan, I have no objections to anything else," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming added.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "I inherited the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword. The Xiaoxiang Sword God's wish is for the inheritor to slay two million from the Golden Clan. That divine sword is indeed powerful; I've given it to a senior, and it shouldn't take long before some effects appear. But I must fulfill the Xiaoxiang Sword God's wish; otherwise, I'll be subjected to the Heart Demon Oath's backlash and face death."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were shocked. The Heart Demon Oath was a serious matter that couldn't be taken lightly. Once established, it had to be fulfilled; failing to do so would lead to inexplicable death.
"Master, slaying two million from the Golden Clan is truly a daunting task!" Ying Qin Supreme Deity expressed concern.
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming asked, "Master, what is the time limit for slaying two million from the Golden Clan?"
"There is no time limit," Wei Chen replied.
Both Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity sighed in relief; having no time limit meant they could take their time.
Wei Chen had been quietly observing the reactions of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and was quite satisfied with what he saw. The Supreme Deity had entered his beast tribe state and no longer viewed him as part of the Golden Clan. Since he had grown up entirely within the Golden Clan Secret Realm, it was impossible for him to harbor much hatred towards them; however, he no longer felt any love either.
"That's good, it saves us trouble in the future."
With the biggest worry lifted, dealing with the Golden Clan became a goal for Wei Chen.
No matter why the Xiaoxiang Sword God had clashed with the Golden Clan, it didn't matter. Without questioning the reasons or rights and wrongs, the vow made must be fulfilled!
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, take me to see that statue of the Xiaoxiang Sword God kneeling. If the opportunity is right, this time, I will destroy that statue," Wei Chen said to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming calmly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied, "Master, if we destroy the statue this time, it will be easy for the higher-ups of the Golden Clan to suspect us, especially since we are going into their territory. If you insist on doing this, we should leave immediately after completing our task to ensure our safety."
It seemed that the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was also caught up in thoughts about his woman, Golden Flower.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had matured considerably. When his strength was sufficient, taking Golden Flower away in one go would be the right path. Meeting her now wouldn’t change anything; it might just add to his troubles.
"Don't you want to see your woman?" Wei Chen asked with a faint smile.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied, "It doesn't matter whether I see her or not."
"Then let's meet. At least give her something to hold onto, a thought of waiting for you," Wei Chen said. After a moment's thought, he added, "But then again, maybe not seeing her is for the best."
"Why?" the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming asked.
Wei Chen expressed his concern: "Once we start battling against Bloodshed Shop, in the later stages, the Golden Clan will inevitably join in to assist Bloodshed Shop. At that point, your woman will become a shield. If you don’t see her now, perhaps the Golden Clan won't think of her at all. What I fear most is that during the final showdown, they might shamelessly drag your woman out as a human shield."
