Chapter 1560 1553: Violet Abyss; Violet Sea (3)

The voice swept across the Dark Void gently and welcoming, laced with the aura of the Law of Water. Accompanied alongside the grandiose welcome at the 'gates' was enough to feel at ease and respected, especially considering the thinly-veiled presence of an Ascended Saint's mystic aura at the forefront.

To all except Young Master Shang, this was the first time they'd come across the unfathomable presence of an Ascended Saint, regarded by the world of cultivation in any developed society as if decreed by the Mystic Dao, as a Mystic Overlord. While they met Teng Jiangwen, a genuine Sage that was a solid stage higher, the figure was sealed throughout their exchanges aside from within the illusion, where the impact was significantly less.

Instinctively, Cao Cuifen felt her spine straighten as a glint of reverence emerged in her eyes. As an Earthly Saint, her connection to the Mystic Dao was deeper and firmer than the others, and this influenced her actions and emotions to a degree.

Liu Suyin rubbed her necklace, and slowly the urge to revere this figure was overtaken by the image of Wei Wuyin and the comforting chill of the Icy Edict Necklace. Her chest was jutted out slightly in pride. This grand at-the-door welcoming was for her...husband!

Qing Qiumu's eyes sparkled as she saw the readied procession laying in wait for them to escort them deeper into the territory. She had never seen such a majestic thing before, only small groups as an Elven Princess. Her mouth was open wide in wonder while her heart pounded in awe.

Yue Songli wasn't known for her outgoing and social personality, so she was a little deterred mentally at such a grand sight, but as the hand on her waist tugged a little tighter, her heart relaxed and her smile became brilliant and beautiful.

Wei Wuyin leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, and her gaze could be visually perceived as illuminating gradually with realization. Her smile somehow grew even more beautiful as antic.i.p.ation flickered through her expression, eager and excited.

Wei Wuyin slowly moved away and arrived by Qing Qiumu. He leaned over, and Qing Qiumu didn't jump or start, as if his presence was as natural as her own, and she listened to his whisper. Her eyes flashed with realization as well, but a noticeably different type of realization, and her spine became a little straighter, her lovely countenance exuding kindness regained a trace of the loftiness of a princess.

Wei Wuyin chuckled at this and walked forward, arriving at the edge of Minor Elysium with his true body.

Young Master Shang was close enough to hear both whispers, and his facial expression remained unchanged as he sipped his flagon. However, inwardly, he was stunned at how well Wei Wuyin could control the flowing emotions of his women. He was once told that women's emotions were often difficult to discern or direct, that they were enigmas to men, and he should tread carefully when dealing with them. For example, didn't his sister decide to randomly devote herself to a man she met for a day or so? Perhaps they didn't exchange more than a hundred words between them.

He sighed in his heart.

"I accept your greetings, Palace Master Violet Sea, and give my sincere greetings in return." Wei Wuyin had learned a bit about etiquette from Vajarn, so he didn't skimp on showing due respect.

The Shroud of Law concealing the inside of the Minor Elysium gradually deactivated as the group aboard was revealed. Wei Wuyin's Void Image vanished as if a ghost merged with the void. The first time, Vajarn was shaken, but the second time he wasn't too surprised but still felt that it was unbelievable that the Wei Wuyin accompanying him for multiple Stellar Regions and dozens upon dozens of starfields was a mere illusion or Incarnation of sorts.

Was this the mysterious means of someone at the legendary True Sage Phase?

When the concealment ended, Wei Wuyin and Luo Ning kept their Alchemic Stars activated to their fullest extent, the Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity and the Alchemic Stars of Spiritual Transcendence respectively. Luo Ning had quietly appeared behind Wei Wuyin, her presence subdued as one might think an a.s.sistant would act, not daring to take a single iota of their boss' presence.

Countless eyes focused on those aboard the s.h.i.+p, instantly causing each of them to become a person of interest. When Yue Songli was seen, countless men and women were stunned as if their souls were locked by a G.o.ddess' seal.

"I accept your greetings," the soothing voice replied. Soon, a figure appeared atop the anchor-shaped vessel. It was a woman of pale white skin, her irises an enchantingly bright yellow, with slender, curved, and duskish white eyebrows, and a willowy figure. Her oval face and feminine facial features weren't too outstanding nor too underwhelming but accentuated by a lofty edge that was cultivated after years of supreme superiority that had long since been etched into her bones.

While she couldn't be categorized as a galaxy-ruining, stellar region-collapsing, or starfield-toppling beauty, when the average woman was considered, she was noticeably above that standard by quite a bit in terms of appearance, only falling slightly short when it came to bust. Her limpid pupils that exuded the calm of still water bestowed a type of serene charm that could placate the heart.

She was garbed in flowing robes of violet and yellow that fluttered rhythmically without wind in the Dark Void, barefooted with violet painted toe and fingernails, further accentuating her presence. With a gentle, welcoming smile that didn't skimp on respect, the Violet Sea Overlord was far from what the term 'Overlord' would represent.

Wei Wuyin's eyes focused on the Violet Sea Overlord.

"Please, allow me to escort you to my Hollow Abyss Planet. I'll do my best as a host. If I fall short, do tell me." She said as she gestured toward the Violet Sea Starfield's largest planet. It was a gorgeous planet with clouds of golden yellow and seas of deep violet. Just the aura alone gave way to its mystic-graded status as a planet, with an aged aura dating back billions of years, far before the White Abyssal Galaxy was established.

This was common practice to find a planet with an intact natural planetary core either out in the Dark Void's Void-Blank s.p.a.ce or a galactic territory that had survived for various reasons and use that as a base. Planets like these had formless, indistinct fortune and were often considered by Heavenly Seers, Oracles, and Fortune Tellers as signs of good omen.

"Will do," Wei Wuyin smiled. "If you wish, you're free to come aboard and accompany me."

The Violet Sea Overlord was about to direct her vessel forward and act as an escort for the tiny vessel while turning around when her foot paused, and she smiled. "How can I refuse such a blessed invitation?" She slowly kicked off and flew toward the Minor Elysium. While she slowly kicked off, her movement speed through the Dark Void was stupendously fast, and she arrived beside Minor Elysium in the blink of an Ascended's eye.

She observed as Wei Wuyin's eyes with the manifested Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity followed her from beginning to end, never leaving her figure. This surprised her, but only verified her belief that Wei Wuyin was a genuine expert and a Worldly Saint Alchemist. Mentally, she had already decided to elevate Vajarn's position and take him away from the galactic guard duty.

She subtly swept her gaze across those on board and was slightly taken aback. Qing Qiumu was a human? Hybrid? She couldn't tell what she was mixed with or what race she was having never encountered an elf. The others were easier to determine-they were all humans.

Cao Cuifen was an Earthly Saint with a hint of an Alchemical Aura, her foundation was rather weak and her pa.s.sively exuded mystic aura was quite low-tier. She had already pegged her as a maidservant.

Liu Suyin had an eerie indifferent gaze that she didn't mind, but as her eyes gathered toward her chest that contained a necklace that she was slowly rubbing, her heart began to race, which she hurriedly stifled. Was that...? There was no way!

Yue Songli was...

Wasn't she?

That incredible beauty and even greater bodily qualities aside, a flash of realization flickered across the Void Sea Overlord's yellow gaze. She recognized Yue Songli's ident.i.ty with a single look! Just like her heart, she had to stifle her greed and desire.

As for Young Master Shang, seeing his total ease, she placed a mental note to pay a little attention to him.

The others were mortals, so she wasn't too intrigued. Moreover, none of them looked like a relative to Wei Wuyin, so she considered them as crew.

Until...she took a closer look at Shui Fengbao and felt an instinctual feeling of opposition from her soul. Law of Fire? Had this mortal already reached the Sprouting Stage of the Seed of Law?

Huh?

Then, her eyes met Su Mei's, whose dark gaze was pure and serene, and the sharpness and brilliance were so dazzling that she felt a sting behind her eyes.

What...?!

Yao Houyi was at the helm, blindfolded, calm, and there was nothing too outstanding about him. Meanwhile, Tuo Bihan gave her a strange duality of purity and barbarism, the sensation left her confused for a fraction of a picosecond. Luo Ning was clearly an alchemical a.s.sistant, and Wei Si was a little strange-looking with his hulking body, but his eyes shone with a simplicity that was hard to take seriously. It was as if this man was only born for a single thing and anything beyond that left him carefree and happy.

A few of them aside, what were with these mortals?!

When she finally landed on the s.h.i.+p, a few feet away from Wei Wuyin, the silver-eyed human who caused even her heart to throb at a glance, kept a smile on his face. If not for her years of containing her emotions, she might have revealed some of her thoughts in her expression.

"These are my wives," Wei Wuyin then introduced them one by one, as Qing Qiumu put on her best show of loftiness, giving a slight bow of greeting. It was as if she was innately superior to the Violet Sea Overlord, and she was showcasing her status in full. Wei Wuyin had told her that she was representing him and that she should act as his wife so that he wouldn't lose face, and she was already posturing toward a Mystic Overlord, giving it her all to be a 'Neo-Dawn Ascendant Empress'.

What a cute elf.

The Violet Sea Overlord was astonished after Wei Wuyin introduced Cao Cuifen and the odd-race mortal Qing Qiumu as his wives. She couldn't understand why a World-Saint like that would choose a woman like Cao Cuifen. Subtly, she felt a tinge of dissatisfaction in her heart.

He proceeded to introduce each of them, including Wei Si as his familial cousin. The Violet Sea Overlord greeted each of them, not neglecting anyone specifically named. Her amiable personality was on full display despite her inner thoughts and opinions.

After finis.h.i.+ng, Wei Wuyin asked, "Shall we?" While gesturing toward the Hollow Abyss Planet.

The Violet Sea Overlord nodded after a brief pause, and gave an order: "Onward."

The anchor-like vessel immediately began to move. It seemed to be anchoring s.p.a.ce and forging a temporary spatial road that was easy to traverse through and the Minor Elysium followed along. They took a direct route to the Hollow Abyss Planet, but it would still take a few hours before their arrival.

She would have exchanged spiritual transmissions typically atop her anchor-like vessel, but due to Wei Wuyin's invitation, they could chat freely. She kept her questions to a minimum and ensured nothing was too invasive for fear of offending Wei Wuyin, only answering any question Wei Wuyin had about the Violet Sea Starfield, Violet Abyss Galactic Zone, the other galactic zones, and the White Abyss Galaxy.

Wei Wuyin didn't hold back and neither did his wives. They were a curious bunch and asked a lot. She did, however, seek out a few proof of Wei Wuyin's status as a Worldly Saint by engaging in questions about his alchemic lineage.

Did he follow someone else's path or forge his own? Who would have guessed that Cao Cuifen would chime in on Wei Wuyin's behalf and hoist Wei Wuyin on a pedestal of establis.h.i.+ng his own lineage, even touting that it had defied conventions and caused the birth of a new era within their world?

She could only smile at Cao Cuifen's praise-heavy words and feign belief. Breaking convention? The requirements for doing something like that were far too difficult in any advanced society of cultivation, and only hillbillies with a limited view of the world would think that conventions of cultivation could be broken so easily. She had already considered Cao Cuifen as a woman who had flowery words and a honeyed cave that had luckily amused a Worldly Saint Alchemist enough to bestow her that t.i.tle.

Wei Wuyin had the Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity, so he didn't need too much proof to establish himself as a Worldly Saint Alchemist, so he brought out one of his Neo-Dawn Eclipsing-World Pill for her to examine. Her expression drastically changed in an instant. He didn't hold back, bringing forth a peak-quality version!

Then, as she was inspecting the product and verified that it had extremely faint traces of Wei Wuyin's indistinct aura that he deliberately left and exposed, her bright yellow eyes couldn't resist s.h.i.+ning even brighter with intense desire. She had never held a peak-quality Mystic-World product in her long, long life! She didn't even know its effects, but she wanted it!

At that point, Wei Wuyin asked a question that left the women speechless and Young Master Shang, who was observing all this with keen interest after seeing Wei Wuyin reveal his abnormal heaven-defying talents for a mere mortal, nearly spit out the alcohol in his throat. He had to clench his teeth and close his lips, refusing to let a single drop escape. The funny sight caused Wei Si, who was long since familiar with Wei Wuyin's habits, to laugh at the drunken young master.

"Do you have a Dao Companion or Husband, Violet Sea?" Moreover, unknowingly when, he stopped adding the Palace Master t.i.tle and called her Violet Sea in an extremely familiar manner!

"..." Even Violet Sea herself was taken aback by the sudden question. She was a lofty Ascended Saint and leader of one of four Galactic Zones within a galaxy. When has there ever been anyone direct or brave enough to ask her this? She was quite flummoxed that she unintentionally blurted out: "No. I don't."

Wei Wuyin's smile widened. "Perfect."

Yue Songli, Liu Suyin, Cao Cuifen, and Qing Qiumu all looked at Wei Wuyin with varying looks, most of which were laced with surprise. Meanwhile, Su Mei felt that this was only a matter of time.

"How about we have a Dao Discussion? I can inform you about my alchemic lineage and insights into cultivation...in-depth." Wei Wuyin offered, not hiding his implied meaning at all.

"..." For the first time since her mortal days, Violet Sea froze.
