The Violet Abyss Galactic Zone's capital planet, Hollow Abyss, had a rich environment suffused with abundant water energies that effused out of its golden-yellow clouds containing hints of yang energies and violet ocean that was oddly pure and thick, a wondrous mixture of transformed mana and water energy.
Upon the violet seas throughout the planet, half-spherical vessels moved through the water with the similarities of ships. Within these vessels were Abyssals at the helm and sides, many of which were Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, actively using their innate racial ability to steer their vessels forward. Humans and the occasional demon at the Sky Ruler Phase, the Second Stage of the Astral Core Realm, could also be seen performing the task.
Shockingly, their control and strength of Mana Control were roughly on par with each other despite their cultivation difference, with a few Qi Condensation Realm Abyssals revealing faintly stronger mana manipulation, showcasing the depths of the racial ability of the Abyssals.
Seeing Abyssals, Humans, and Demons act as oars for various sea vessels was a sight as they worked in tandem.
The waters of the Hollow Abyss Planet were a variable material of a few grades. The deeper one descended into the waters' depths, the higher the quality of the material. At the surface of the water, it could be classified as an astral-grade material. Supposedly, at its greatest depths, the water was at the Mystic-World grade.
The planet itself was not entirely formed of bodies of water. However, many of its regions were inherently high in moisture content and were therefore muddy or besieged by constant rainfall. There were mountains with muddy slopes, and forests that had a dozen or so rivers and streams running through them into the ocean, with a noticeable lack of hot, humid, and dry deserts. The world was littered with islands and peninsulas, regions of stable land, where cities and civilization thrived the most.
Upon a particularly large island that could almost be quantified as a continent, only losing out due to the other continents being abnormally massive, and the inclination of Overlord Violet Sea to name it as an island-Violet Rising Island, there was a luxurious violet and golden-yellow palace forged from peak Mystic-Earth materials that shone with wealth. Surrounding this palace and upon this island were numerous signs of lively activity, cultivators moving about in groups or alone, scenes of harsh combat training, calm cultivation efforts, or sights of those staying within various colored spherical abodes for leisure activities.
The Violet Sea Palace.
Shortly after receiving Overlord Violet Sea's welcome at the door and polite greeting that would leave any member of Abyssal Race's heart racing with envy, the Minor Elysium followed the anchor-like void vessel to Hollow Abyss and found their way to the Violet Sea Palace as respected guests. They were received by a host of human servants, all with shoddy foundations but relatively higher cultivation bases.
The strongest was at the Light Reflection Phase, the Fifth Phase of the Astral Core Realm, and they wore clothing that was a little revealing, similarly possessing nylon layer on their hands and feet if they were men, but none if they were women. Instead, the women had their midriffs exposed and their sleeves hung a little looser.
They were all well-trained and promptly replied when spoken to, and anticipated the needs of their guests at a sight, offering refreshments or other accommodations.
The group had already agreed to tour across the Hollow Abyss and the Violet Rising Island. With Violet Sea offering herself to act as an escort, Wei Wuyin accepted and they traversed the Hollow Abyss and saw many extraordinary sights.
There was a region of seas besieged by a perpetual storm that tossed water so aggressively and high that they seemed to newly created violet mountains from a distance. The sight left Yue Songli inspired. She and Qing Qiumu took to painting their hearts out. The two had subtly become partners of the artistic ways, and the sight left Wei Wuyin relieved. The two were both getting along.
Considering Yue Songli had always been somewhat anti-social due to her upbringing, to the point she obtained unnecessary attention after being one-sidedly declared as a Number ONE Beauty of her generation, she kept to herself often and didn't have many friends in her lifetime. While Qing Qiumu found it difficult to relax and be comfortable given her experiences, perhaps it was due to Yue Songli's relationship with him, she didn't have any sign of aversion.
While the elven princess exuded a feeling of motherly kindness, in a way, that was a protective shroud that hid her true thoughts and emotions from others. Wei Wuyin and Qing Qiumu were two pieces of fabric cut from the same cloth and painted differently throughout a lifetime-kindred in both heart and mind, but they paired nicely together.
Seeing the beauty of the violet sea, Wei Wuyin brought Wei Si along as they removed their shirts, bearing their extraordinary physiques, with the former leaving the women aboard breathless and hot while the latter left the men a little envious and inspired, and they dove into the waters with raucous and wanton laughter. It was similar to how they acted when they were little kids playing in the lake, staying late to catch fish or skip rocks.
When the Wei duo returned, Wei Wuyin brought back a few bowls of Mystic-World graded violet water and glistening pearls of violet-gold. That shocked Violet Sea to a visible degree. Wei Si was a little dizzy as he seemed to have drunk some of the water despite Violet Sea's warning and was somewhat drunk.
The sight of him tumbling and slurring his words left the group with smiles, and even Qing Qiumu let out a genuine laugh that originated from her soul. It was clear that the trip and experiences of freedom, the relaxing comforts of being able to traverse the vast stars and do as they wished assisted Qing Qiumu in rectifying a lot of surface issues she had developed in her psyche.
Violet Sea was all smiles throughout. She was a lofty Ascended Saint, a true Mystic Overlord that ruled an entire Galactic Zone, but she was acting as friendly and accommodating as one could feasibly imagine. This sight subtly lifted the stressed and tense hearts of everyone, especially Cao Cuifen.
Cao Cuifen was used to conflict and sinister intentions, having been raised and survived the darkest era of the Ancient Sealed Regions while maintaining her body's purity, a tough feat. Moreover, she kept feeling that Violet Sea was ignoring her a little more, seemingly looking down on her while paying Yue Songli and Qing Qiumu's compliments. She even talked to Young Master Shang more than her.
It was only after Wei Wuyin brought her to the side of the ship.
"Do you like this planet?" He asked.
Cao Cuifen was a little sour, but she spoke truthfully. "It's an amazingly gorgeous planet with all sorts of wondrous things. How could I not like it? The watery mountains that changed with every blink in shape and size; The pearls of violet-gold that resembled a moon reflecting a star's brilliance; Clouds of radiantly golden light that feel as gentle as a mother's touch on one's skin. How could I not?" She said, emphasizing twice that she couldn't not like the planet given how wonderful it was.
Wei Wuyin then said something that took Cao Cuifen, Violet Sea, and the rest of the group aback. He softly kissed Cao Cuifen's lips as the golden rays shone upon them from above, blessing them with a glimmer of immortal presence, asking: "Shall I buy this planet for you?"
Seven words.
Just seven simple words.
The entire ship descended into instant silence! Even the servants that were handling and ready with trays of refreshments almost lost their footing and they stilled. Did he just say...
Violet Sea was placed in an awkward position, and Cao Cuifen was unsure what to say. Wei Wuyin turned toward her, his Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity on full display, radiating an aura of stimulating Utmost Purity Mist that riled up everyone's Natal Souls, Astral Souls, and Mystic Souls.
"If my wife wants this planet, I'll buy it for a Mystic-Heaven grade pill. Will that be enough?"
"..." Violet Sea.
"..." Young Master Shang.
"..." Cao Cuifen.
"...!" EVERYONE ELSE!
Violet Sea was speechless.
"If not, I'll add half a dozen peak-quality Mystic-World grade products suitable for improving one's Mystic Physique and the Domain of Mysticism," added Wei Wuyin.
Violet Sea's heart was racing so rapidly that she felt as if it might jump out of her chest, and even the servants felt like their world was twisting and turning. Mystic-Heaven? Peak-quality Mystic-World?! They would be lucky if they saw a single Mystic-Earth grade product in their lifetime, at the impure-quality!
"I..." Cao Cuifen looked at Wei Wuyin with eyes that sparkled brilliantly despite her confounded feelings. Buy her a planet! Not just any planet, an ancient planet that could birth Mystic-World graded materials!
Did she want it?
Who wouldn't?!
WHO WOULDN'T?!
But a Mystic-Heaven product? She wasn't certain how valuable it was, but she knew it was insanely valuable!
Seeing the situation, Wei Wuyin looked at Violet Sea and smiled, "You have time to make a decision. No rush." Only then did the situation gradually settle and people remained shaken but relaxed a little. After spending some time with Cao Cuifen, often exchanging laughter and sporadic sessions of open displays of affection, Wei Wuyin spent some time with the others.
The dynamic between Cao Cuifen and Violet Sea was immediately different. The latter no longer looked down on Cao Cuifen and subtly felt that she was the most valued woman on the ship and here for a reason despite her lowly cultivation base. Moreover, her thoughts toward Wei Wuyin were elevated to his highest. She somewhat regretted refusing to have a Dao Discussion, putting it on hold for later. She wondered what she could have found out by discussing the Dao with him.
Vajarn had reported that Wei Wuyin announced himself as a Worldly Saint Alchemist, but with all these Mystic-World graded products at the peak and that offer...was he...a Heavenly Saint Alchemist?
Moreover, this vessel of theirs was definitely on the level of a Heavenly Treasure or...higher!
After pondering the situation of the White Abyssal Galaxy and her Violet Abyss Galactic Zone as a whole, she was left with numerous questions for herself, and most important of all was: how to move forward?
She decided.
Dao Discussion? She was willing!
The next two weeks were filled with travel and playing around for the group of the Minor Elysium under the lead of Violet Sea, who gradually became increasingly respectful. They saw every last monument and wonderous region on Hollow Abyss and even explored a few treasured planets and moons of the Violet Sea Starfield.
It felt as if Violet Sea was trying to see if Wei Wuyin wanted to buy anything else. Unfortunately, he didn't seem too interested in the others, likely because his sights were already too high! She had even tried to urge the other women silently to see if they had any interest in these celestial bodies.
During their travels, she had gently pried out the information regarding the Mystic-Heaven graded product from Young Master Shang. After learning that it was one of the legendary Soul Pills, her entire body shook and the shock in her eyes was present for three whole hours.
The Soul Pill was in their records as a piece of information gathered by the Heavenly Seers after communing with the heavens. They gathered its uses and knew that was enough for entire galaxies to fight over. After all, it was a chance to exceed the Mystic Ascendant Realm! No matter how slight!
She was only at the Seventh Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, the Ascendant Saint Phase, and has been for tens of thousands of years. If she took this pill, it might be enough to establish a future beyond the Mystic Ascendant Realm, at the very least, it might enable her to become a True Sage!
At that time, she would be the undisputed leader of the White Abyssal Galaxy! She would rule for countless years!!
Within the Abyss of Blades, Abyss of Tranquility, and Soundless Abyss' Heavenly Seers and Oracles all felt a change in the world's trend.
They all turned their attention to the Violet Abyss.
They all felt...danger!
