Wei Chen pondered the situation for a while and felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, it was just a thousand years; he would quickly adapt on the Witch Clan Continent. Besides, being at the Right Holy Academy, the Beast Clan wouldn't dare to come after him, right?
If that was the case, agreeing to Cunning Beast's terms would be a huge gain.
Wei Chen never engaged in ventures without benefits, nor did he fight battles without confidence. This situation had many advantages and minimal drawbacks, making it worthwhile.
"Senior, I need your help to reach the Ninth Level Witch King realm," Wei Chen said seriously as he looked at Cunning Beast.
Cunning Beast nodded earnestly and replied, "I said I would help you, and I will. This is our agreement."
"May I ask, Senior, what are the downsides for you and for me if you help me increase my strength? If the drawbacks are too significant compared to the benefits of reaching the Ninth Level Witch King, then it wouldn't be worth it."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Cunning Beast laughed heartily. "Don't worry; it won't have much impact. My methods are far more advanced than ordinary ones—safe and without side effects."
"Is it this stone?" Wei Chen inquired.
"That's right; it's the Purification Stone. Once you refine and absorb it, reaching the Ninth Level Witch King realm will be no problem at all. Moreover, in terms of pure Witch Power, you could even reach between Seventh Level Witch Saint and Eighth Level Witch Saint. However, your actual strength will still only be considered Ninth Level Witch King. Do you understand this?" Cunning Beast explained.
"I understand." Wei Chen realized that this was an issue of mental realm not keeping up with the level of Witch Power—something that couldn't be assisted by human effort.
Looking at Cunning Beast again, Wei Chen suddenly asked, "Senior, what is your realm? If you were to absorb this Purification Stone, wouldn't you be able to defeat a Witch King?"
"By human standards, I should be considered a Ninth Level Witch Saint. After all, in the Witch Beast World, I am second only to a Witch King. This Purification Stone is good, but since my level is already quite high, it would have no effect on me," Cunning Beast replied calmly.
Cunning Beast's tone was very flat, but for Wei Chen, it felt like thunder striking out of nowhere!
Wei Chen was deeply shocked; this being was comparable to a Ninth Level Witch Saint among humans?
"Damn, that's so strong! Then the so-called Witch Beast King must be incredibly powerful!"
Wei Chen thought to himself, his face filled with shock, completely noticed by Cunning Beast.
"Kid, do you think being a king of the Cosmic Race is that simple? The Witch King and your human Master Saint are both stronger than the Ninth Level Witch Saint. I haven't reached that level yet; I've only just barely stepped into it," Cunning Beast explained.
Wei Chen was stunned for a while. He had originally thought that someone with strength like Right Sage was already at the top level, perhaps just slightly weaker than Master Saint. He never expected the gap to be so vast. Moreover, Right Sage was considered the second strongest in the Witch Clan, while Cunning Beast was also the second strongest among the Witch Beasts. In comparison, Right Sage was a Seventh Level Witch Saint, while Cunning Beast was a Ninth Level Witch Saint; the difference was evident.
"Senior, according to what you said, doesn't that mean that on this continent, the Beast Clan is much stronger than the human Witch Clan?" Wei Chen asked.
Cunning Beast nodded and said, "On this continent, strictly speaking, the Beast Clan is the true ruler, while the human Witch Clan is merely a vassal. Long ago, humans were nothing but slaves to the Witch Beasts; this is completely different from other worlds. Later on, Master Saint and Great Yuan Holy Dynasty, along with Right Sage and Left Saint, fought for territory for humanity and managed to occupy about one-third of the Witch Clan Continent.
From a territorial perspective, it’s easy to see that the Witch Beasts are much stronger than humans. However, because Master Saint can hold his own against the Witch King, neither side can do anything to each other, which gave humanity a chance to develop. In fact, all humans in the Witch Clan Continent should worship and revere Master Saint; he is humanity's guardian deity. Without Master Saint, humans would still become slaves of the Beast Clan."
"As for Great Yuan Holy Dynasty, there are three or four others with Eighth Level Witch Saint strength within the Beast Clan."
After hearing Cunning Beast's introduction, Wei Chen deeply felt the power of the Beast Clan. As for Right Sage, he was not second in the Witch Clan but ranked third beneath Great Yuan Holy Dynasty. There were many who were stronger than Right Sage throughout the entire Witch Clan Continent.
It was tragic; Cunning Beast's explanation completely overturned Wei Chen's understanding. The so-called Master Saint was actually Wei Chen's grandfather; Master Saint's daughter had combined with Demon God to give birth to Wei Chen—this fact could not be changed.
Suddenly realizing that his grandfather was not an ordinary emperor but a great hero who led humanity out of slavery made Wei Chen feel strange.
It seemed that every so often there were some remarkable figures claiming to be his ancestors; Wei Chen had already gotten used to it, hadn't he?
"Alright then, help me improve my strength now. A Ninth Level Witch King is considered quite strong on the Witch Clan Continent," Wei Chen said calmly after coming to terms with many things.
Cunning Beast replied, "A Ninth Level Witch King isn't much at all. Your Witch Power can reach Seventh Level Witch Saint level. If you can comprehend the true essence of Witch Saint Realm, you will become a true Saint Witch. At that time, you will be a real powerhouse on the Witch Clan Continent."
"Okay then, let's get started quickly; if we keep dawdling like this, it will be dark soon," Wei Chen said.
The Cunning Beast pointed at the massive stone and said, "Go absorb that Purification Stone. Once you're done, we'll leave immediately."
"Absorb? How am I supposed to do that?" Wei Chen was at a loss. That enormous stone had no clear way to be absorbed.
The Cunning Beast replied, "You must have learned some Witch Clan's Cultivation Method. Use the Witch Clan's method to absorb Witch Power and refine that Purification Stone. Generally speaking, it shouldn't take long—just a few days. However, your body needs to withstand the pressure from the surge of Witch Power. If you can't handle it, take your time. If you go too fast, it's like overeating; your body could explode."
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Wei Chen jumped onto the Purification Stone and activated the Heavenly Witch Creation Technique, beginning to absorb the Witch Power within the Purification Stone.
As soon as he started, Wei Chen realized that the so-called Purification Stone was essentially just a pure Witch Stone. However, its size was somewhat exaggerated, and the amount of Witch Power contained within was also quite astonishing.
Dugu, along with Shaohuang God King and Ying Qin Supreme Deity, stood cautiously to one side, keeping watch. They had no idea what was happening; they only saw Wei Chen conversing with the Cunning Beast before he began absorbing the Witch Power from the large stone.
The Cunning Beast lay bored nearby, occasionally lifting its head to glance at Wei Chen and then at Dugu and the others, which made them even more vigilant.
Initially, Wei Chen's absorption of the Purification Stone was not very fast; his mastery of the Heavenly Witch Creation Technique was still at a basic level. However, as time passed, everyone could clearly feel that the Witch Power within Wei Chen was surging geometrically.
Throughout the Cunning Witch's Secret Realm, Witch Power surged wildly. Visible strands of Witch Power twisted and converged from all directions, all focusing on the Purification Stone beneath Wei Chen.
The Witch Power itself was released by that Purification Stone; now it was merely returning to its source.
The tumultuous Witch Power flowed through the Purification Stone, forming pure curves of Witch Power that wrapped around Wei Chen like a spider's web. The ends of those strands connected to Wei Chen's pores, pouring into his body under the powerful absorption capability of the Heavenly Witch Creation Technique.
True to its reputation as a Master Saint's Cultivation Method, once the Witch Power entered Wei Chen's body, it did not cause significant damage. However, due to its rapid influx, it still impacted him greatly. Fortunately, Wei Chen's physical constitution was exceptionally robust—similar to that of the Witch Clan—allowing him to withstand that pressure while maintaining his rapid pace.
Shaohuang God King and Ying Qin Supreme Deity had witnessed such speed before and found nothing unusual about it. They naturally compared the Witch Power from the Witch Clan Continent with what they had seen in the Endless Divine Realm; previously, Wei Chen had been even faster.
On the other hand, the Cunning Beast was utterly shocked. It had gotten up and was intently watching Wei Chen, unable to fathom how terrifyingly fast Wei Chen could absorb Witch Power.
"This kid is quite strange. Anyone coming to the Witch Clan Continent usually goes through an adaptation period. Even if he has passed that phase, how could his body possibly withstand such a level of torment?"
In the eyes of the Cunning Beast, Wei Chen was currently undergoing a process of suffering, a level of torment so intense that even the Cunning Beast found it terrifying.
"Moreover, how is this kid's Witch Power and Cultivation Method so strong? As far as I know, only the Master Saint's Heavenly Witch Creation Technique can be this powerful. That Cultivation Method is something even the Lord Witch King greatly fears. The human Master Saint was able to escape the fate of being a slave to the Beast Clan precisely because of that Cultivation Method!"
The more the Cunning Beast observed Wei Chen, the more peculiar it felt. It quietly released a hint of probing power to investigate Wei Chen's body. This was a unique skill of the Cunning Beast, merging with Witch Power as it entered Wei Chen's body, yet Wei Chen felt nothing.
That peculiar force traveled through Wei Chen's meridians, and he remained completely unaware. Under normal circumstances, the Cunning Beast would never have succeeded so easily; after all, Wei Chen's Mental Strength was no joke. But at this moment, Wei Chen was in the midst of a violent surge of Witch Power, his attention entirely focused on it, leaving him oblivious to the Cunning Beast's probing.
Eventually, that peculiar force infiltrated Wei Chen's Dantian, causing the Cunning Beast's eyes to widen in shock as it stared intently at Wei Chen.
"No wonder... Demon God Bloodline? Main Sacred Bloodline? And Power of the Stars? What has this kid experienced? Why is his power so mixed yet so formidable?"
"The combination of Demon God Bloodline and Main Sacred Bloodline might even surpass the bloodline power of the Lord Witch King!"
The Cunning Beast grew increasingly astonished. After probing into Wei Chen's bloodline power and primary Stellar Power, it quietly withdrew its probing force. It understood that intruding into someone else's body was highly impolite; if Wei Chen discovered it, things could become very troublesome.
A grand and monumental plan began to take shape in the mind of the Cunning Beast.
Several hours later, as the Purification Stone vanished, all those Witch Powers had been refined through Wei Chen's meridians and stored within his Dantian. The results exceeded what the Cunning Beast had anticipated; purely in terms of Witch Power, Wei Chen had already reached the level of an Eighth Level Witch Saint.
