Chapter 1565 1558: Violet Abyss; Objectives (8)
Meanwhile, on a Spiritual Projection Screen, within the female-only spa, Minor Elysium, and Wei Wuyin's Saint Ring, the scene of four great Mystic Overlords fighting with verbal insults and wild accusations was shown.
"This doesn't feel real..." Cao Cuifen said as Su Mei placed a brown bag before her chest. The bag wafted with a richly tart aroma. She was eating too! Her eyes were glued to the screen as interest surged.
Cao Cuifen subconsciously reached into the bag, grabbed a luscious lime green-colored berry from it, and took a small bite. Her eyes blinked as she watched the ensuing chaos.
Yue Songli's eyes were filled with keen fascination. Despite being somewhat anti-social, she loved dramas and would often go to stage plays, and while imprisoned, she had been given a lot of reading material to pass the time when she wasn't required to cultivate. These were often benign stories about heroes, betrayals, or exploration.
Ming Shufeng heaved an awkward sigh as she asked: "Do you think Wei Wuy-uh, Emperor Wei was lying? That he touched the edge of the Heavenly Saint Alchemist level?" She felt a glare from Luo Ning as she was about to refer to Wei Wuyin by his name directly.
Seeing Ming Shufeng use a proper address, albeit a little lacking, Luo Ning internally nodded. She then frowned, "His Majesty would never lie about the Alchemic Dao."
"But...he's a mortal, right?" Others might not know, but Ming Shufeng had grasped greater secrets and understood the truths of what it meant to be a Worldly Saint Alchemist and a Heavenly Saint Alchemist! Moreover, Wei Wuyin hadn't undergone his Mystic Ascension yet, they would have sensed it! ...Right?
"So? Don't judge His Majesty by your ignorant standards," Luo Ning spat in retort.
"..." Ming Shufeng was speechless.
Liu Suyin rubbed her Icy Edict Necklace as her eyes were glued to the screen too. Regardless of who they were, they were all entranced by the events projected. These existences at a level far beyond them with unilateral authority and galactic-ruling might that exceeded common imagination was bickering and slinging verbal mud at each other like petty children or grumpy old coots.
In the cultivation world, this would seldom occur. The typical result would be a fight! Bloody! Deadly! Simple! However, it was as if they didn't dare to throw the first punch, as if a father was observing them quietly and they didn't dare to be seen as disobedient or unlikable.
Was this the prestige of a Worldly Saint Alchemist? She had only heard of stories and knew that the Ascended Sovereigns had made a unanimous exception for the King of Everlore to leave the Ancient Sealed Region after he attained that level. This was the first time she was bearing true witness to its incredible, invisible, and illustrious power!
Respect!
Fear!
Deference!
Wei Wuyin stood there, and not a single one of them dared to shake the Violet Abyss by an inch! The sight of Wei Wuyin's smile and casual demeanor was boundlessly attractive! She lightly bit her lower lip, her eyes pulsating with unspeakably hot thoughts to the point her cheeks blushed a sultry pink.
-----
"...thief of-" Crimson Blade was in the middle of once again demeaning Grey Rose of her past when the flow of Utmost Purity Mist circulated across hundreds of thousands of miles and drew his attention. His heart began to palpitate as his Mystic Soul thrummed greedily. The others felt the same, instantly halting their insults and words as they saw the gorgeous seven-colored mist swirl around the world, enveloping them whole.
There was not the slightest ill-intent within or the ability to harm, but the richness of its aura was so intense that their pores subconsciously opened and their Mystic Souls felt unnaturally, uncharacteristically hungry. They subconsciously breathed in despite being within the Dark Void, inhaling wads of mist. Instantly, they felt their Alchemic Spirit Remnants slowly break down on a fundamental level, refined and transformed into tangible essence, energy, and alchemical efficacy.
Within that single breath, their meridians and dantians widened ever-so-slightly, their innate energies experienced a minuscule improvement and dispersal of deep-seated impurities that had developed over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. An unprecedented feeling of comfort flowed through every cell in their body.
"Ahn~" Grey Rose let out a seductive moan as she touched her ample chest and lower stomach in a rare feeling of incredible relief, the discomfort of the Yang Source in her was eliminated for a second, and all its resulting pain that could shatter the souls of most mortals was gone, leaving only that comfort. It was like a heavenly massage.
"AHN!!~" She moaned again, this time louder.
Then, a soft pulse coursed through their bodies like a sound traversing through a liquid. All of their attention focused on Wei Wuyin whose Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity glowed intensely. He placed away the brown bag and cleared his throat, ignoring Grey Rose's moans. "While I would love to continue listening, I'm afraid I'll have to interrupt your quarrel."
Suddenly, the Utmost Purity Mist began to rapidly retract. It surged into Wei Wuyin's sleeves and mouth with a flourish and inhale. The feeling left their Mystic Souls anxious and they pulsed with urges that felt extremely uncomfortable.
While Grey Rose clenched her teeth. All the pain rushed back into every iota of her body, piercing into her soul, and she stifled a groan. She looked at Wei Wuyin with indignation for a split second before hurriedly correcting her gaze, giving him a sweet glance.
Crimson Blade held in the strongest urge to shout at the words that likely the other two Abyssal Overlords had on their minds.
Fairy Silence didn't care about Grey Rose at this point and neither did Violet Sea. They focused everything on Wei Wuyin, this human Worldly Saint Alchemist that had descended upon their galaxy a few weeks ago!
"I'll be honest. I came to the White Abyssal Galaxy to bring my wives out to sightsee the greater world and expose them to new societies of cultivation. They're a little inexperienced and bright-eyed, so I hope to show them many things.
"Mystic Overlord Violet Sea has given us a great tour of the Violet Abyss and showed us a hospitality that was impeccable." Wei Wuyin gave Violet Sea a look, and his eyes traversed her slender body, which caused her to look at him with a smile, eagerness reflected in her gaze. "However, I do have two main objectives for visiting the White Abyssal Galaxy."
"Objectives?" Crimson Blade, Fairy Silence, and Grey Rose's expression subtly changed. They had all felt a sensation of danger, so while they had earlier spat out insults and dirt at each other, they had done so under the assumption that the danger was Violet Sea receiving the full support of a Worldly Saint Alchemist and reaching the True Sage Phase in the next few thousand or tens of thousands of years, greatly changing the dynamic of rulership.
But what if Wei Wuyin intended to launch a war and annex their galaxy? They didn't dare to do anything reckless despite the potential possibility, solely because Wei Wuyin was fully aware of their cultivation bases and likely had the means to deal with them with time and effort. Moreover, they were out in the open, and if a Sage acted, only Violet Sea would have the immediate means to retaliate or properly defend herself.
"May I ask what those objectives are and what I can do to assist?" Fairy Silence took the lead in inquiring about the situation and seeking out some clarification.
"Not only you, all of you can assist on both objectives." Wei Wuyin said as they glanced at each other. It's not every day that Alchemists seek out conquest. The pursuit of the Alchemic Dao was simply far too difficult and time-consuming as is, and if they did have a territory, oftentimes it would be an independent region gifted to them by the ruling cultivators out of sheer respect and desire to have them occupy their territory.
The Everlore Stellar Region was an example of this.
They didn't 'need' to invade or conquer as an independent entity. This was why they attributed the danger to Mystic Lord Violet Sea and not to Wei Wuyin!
So when Wei Wuyin said they could all assist, they relaxed immediately.
"My first objective is to establish a galactic auction," Wei Wuyin's first objective caused every last Abyssal Overlord's eyes to shine with a distinct brilliance. A Galactic Auction?! OF COURSE!
Say less!
"I'll be selling some of my excess products at a flat rate, from the seventh-grade to the Mystic-Earth grade, and some of the most intrinsic products of my lineage can be bid for, especially a few Mystic-World products. I wish to obtain all sorts of rare materials native to this galaxy or simply rare in and of itself, hoping to study and find unique interactions to expand my lineage. Adding to that, I want to buy the three World-Saint lineages in full, including any particular Earth-Saint lineages that might stand out. This wasn't my original intention, but I wish to dabble in the Concoction Methods of the amazing Abyssal Race after learning of their...depths. Perhaps I can find some success or inspiration within," Wei Wuyin said with a smile.
"..." The four Abyssal Overlords went silent.
"I can even try my hand at trying to concoct a few of those Mystic-World graded products to place in the galactic auction," Wei Wuyin added.
"..." The four Abyssal Overlords remained silent! In their eyes, the Worldly Saint Alchemists' lineage was valuable, but despite countless years, very few have found success in it despite their immense investment in alchemists, so it wasn't too valuable.
"May I ask what's your second objective?" Grey Rose asked softly.
"Second objective! Right," Wei Wuyin chuckled as he turned to gaze at the heart of the White Abyssal Galaxy, its Absolute Void Region! "I know that some of you have ventured into the heart of your galaxy at one point or another and survived, finding immense fortune in your daring expedition. I wish to hire all four of you as guides and guardians for me and my wives to explore it. After all, it's best to have those familiar along the journey."
"...!" All four Abyssal Overlords had dramatic changes in their expressions. The heart of their galaxy! Dread flashed across Crimson Blade's eyes and he subconsciously turned to look at the Absolute Void Region that was utterly massive.
Fairy Silence clutched her flute tightly, "I don't recommend you do so, World-Saint Neo-Dawn. The dangers of the White Abyss are both terrifying and unpredictable."
"I know. That's why I'm hoping to acquire your guidance. Especially you, Mystic Lord Fairy Silence." Wei Wuyin firmly established his desire to enter the heart of the White Abyssal Galaxy! From his gaze, it was clear that he didn't intend to take no for an answer!
Was this all for the sake of expanding the horizons of his wives? They all exchanged glances and took a deep breath.
"I'll take you!" Grey Rose suddenly announced. This was a chance to be hired by a Worldly Saint Alchemist and gain further favor! The feeling from before lingered in her body and she yearned for sweet release once again. If Wei Wuyin induced such an effect using his Utmost Purity Mist, he might be able to permanently...
The eyes of the others flickered instantly and like dominoes...
Crimson Blade: "If you insist, I'll be able to bring you to the region that I've once entered. With my blade, no harm will befall you."
Violet Sea: "You have to be careful, but with a Mystic Overlord of the Abyssal Race by your side, I'm sure we can find some fortune and return safely."
Fairy Silence: "...I'll join as well. But I must warn you again: the heart of the White Abyssal Galaxy is dangerous!"
"Good! Good! Then it's decided. I can leave the Galactic Auction in your hands, correct? If I get the lineages ahead of time, I might be able to concoct some of their products if I'm lucky." Wei Wuyin clapped his hand in excitement.
