Chapter 185: Madam Wen's Persuasion!

"The island I asked you to search for, have you found it?"

As soon as he returned to the Chaotic Star Sea, Zhao Changsheng immediately questioned Madam Wen, who had remained there.

"Husband only gave me a vague clue. There are countless islands in the Chaotic Star Sea; how could I be so capable as to find the island you want so quickly?"

Facing Zhao Changsheng's questioning, Madam Wen was also extremely helpless. After all, the clues Zhao Changsheng gave her were far too few; he had only mentioned a few characteristics of the island.

Under these circumstances, no matter how great Madam Wen's abilities were, she could not find the island Zhao Changsheng requested based on what he had said.

"Alas, I didn't expect that after all this time, there would still be no clue. I originally thought it could be found quickly, but I didn't expect that after so long, there is still no sign of it. It seems I truly have no fate with that island. However, it doesn't matter; as long as it's still within this Chaotic Star Sea, nothing will happen. It will be found sooner or later. Next, I will enter seclusion for a period of time, and you don't need to know the location. In short, you just need to wait for me to emerge. You can arrange the rest yourselves. Now that the Cultivation Empire has been established, how to manage it will depend on your own abilities."

"As long as you don't disappoint me when the time comes. After all, I am only using this Cultivation Empire to dissolve those Seals. As long as those Seals suppressing the Spiritual Qi are dissolved, then the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of this Mortal Realm will naturally be able to return to the Ancient Era. Even if it cannot fully return, it won't be much inferior."

"This way, the number of Cultivators that can appear in the Mortal Realm will increase."

...

"This only brings benefits to the entire Mortal Realm, without any harm. Am I right, Madam?"

Although she had heard these words of Zhao Changsheng several times before, Madam Wen couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

"What my husband says is very true."

"Alas, this matter is truly troublesome. If I weren't already the strongest Cultivator in the Mortal Realm, I really wouldn't want to take on this responsibility. But since I am, I must bear it properly. I have no other choice. I hope to resolve this trouble as quickly as possible. If it can't be resolved, that would be terrible. I also hope to improve the cultivation environment of the Mortal Realm as much as possible. This way, it will be possible for more Cultivators from the Mortal Realm to ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future."

"Thereby informing those Seniors in the Spirit Realm of the current terrible cultivation environment in the Mortal Realm, hoping they can find a way to send someone to improve it slightly. Although the possibility is slim, there is at least some chance."

"Husband, I feel that this possibility might truly not be very high, and there might even be trouble."

Madam Wen spoke her mind, and Zhao Changsheng naturally agreed with her view.

"I am naturally aware of everything you've said, but we still have to try. We can't just try nothing, right? Moreover, I have some confidence in my Ascension to the Spirit Realm. If I weren't confident, I wouldn't dare say such things. It is precisely because I am confident that I dare to say this. I only hope to achieve a Breakthrough soon and ascend to the Spirit Realm; only then can I make the Seniors of the Spirit Realm notice the situation in the Mortal Realm."

Zhao Changsheng didn't actually believe his own words, but regardless of his belief, he still had to say them.

Otherwise, even fewer people would believe it.

"Now you must also Cultivate as quickly as possible. Although given your cultivation speed and talent, there is almost no hope of reaching the Soul Transformation Stage, it is still possible to reach the Late Nascent Soul Stage. With my help, I believe reaching the Late Stage Great Perfection in the future is highly likely. As for the Soul Transformation Stage, if luck is on your side, there is still a sliver of hope. So there is no need to be too sad."

"Husband is truly joking. When have I ever been sad? I have never been sad from the beginning. As for cultivation issues, I have never blamed anyone. I understand my own situation and naturally won't feel any sadness regarding this."

"Husband, please rest assured. As long as you do not dislike me for being unable to help you, that is enough."

"Alright, since when did you learn to act like a coy young girl? This matter is extremely difficult, and I only entrusted it to you because I trust you. Even if it can't be found, it doesn't matter. It is an island, after all, and there are important items on it; it won't disappear in a short time. Forget a short time, even in ten thousand years, it won't disappear. So there's no need to worry too much about it. The most pressing concern now is the matter of seclusion. Cultivating there would actually be quite good, but since it can't be found, I can only choose another place. I just don't know where else in the Chaotic Star Sea is most suitable. The Holy Mountain is suitable, but it is too conspicuous."

"Besides, there are many Star Palace Remnants there. If I go there, I'm afraid I'll be the first one they target. they are trying every possible way to kill me. Going there would be seeking my own death. Alas, this Star Palace, if only they had cooperated with me back then, how good it would have been. Unfortunately, they insisted on trying to kill me. Under such circumstances, how could I tolerate them continuing to live? Also, forget it, saying these things is useless now. My Cultivation Empire has been established, so I will leave the affairs of the Chaotic Star Sea to you. As for other matters, I naturally have ways to resolve them. I hope to settle these troublesome things soon so I can have some peace of mind, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Husband, is your worry a bit excessive? I feel that with your Divine Ability, there is likely nothing in this world that can harm you anymore."

Madam Wen stated her thoughts.

"In the affairs of this world, how can there be such a thing as being invincible? So it's better to be more cautious, especially in the current situation. I haven't even broken through the final Realm to reach the Soul Transformation Stage, let alone achieved Ascension, so I'm even further from being invincible. Instead of thinking that way, it's more important to find a way to go a step further. I don't even know where I'll choose for this seclusion; I can only say I'll go wherever I end up. To me, this isn't a particularly urgent or important matter."

"Of course, I'm just saying that. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics myself. For now, you just need to manage this Chaotic Star Sea well, and I will handle the rest. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Zhao Changsheng's final words were a direct order, and Madam Wen naturally did not dare to disobey, immediately agreeing.

"I understand. Husband, please rest assured, I will take proper care of the Chaotic Star Sea."

"What do you mean by 'take proper care'? You just need to manage it well and make sure no chaos breaks out. Especially those fellows from the Outer Star Sea Yao Race; you must watch them closely and absolutely not let them invade the Inner Star Sea. Although I could massacre them, their numbers are simply too vast. If it weren't for their own internal discord, we would have an even harder time dealing with them. Even I would find it difficult to completely eradicate them. This is truly a massive trouble, but wanting to wipe them out completely in a short time is entirely unrealistic. I have never thought that way; I only hope that better solutions will appear later."

"Of course, it would be best if they could live in harmony with our Human Race. What do you think would allow the Yao Race and our Human Race to coexist peacefully? I've thought about this for a long time but still have no clue. I can say I'm completely out of ideas on this matter."

"After all, the relationship between the Human Race and the Yao Race is truly difficult now! Not only is there an abundance of hatred, but both sides want to kill each other to obtain the resources on their bodies. Humans want the Yao Cores and various Yao Beast Materials from the Yao Race, while the Yao Race wants to devour the flesh and Golden Cores of humans. Just as humans want Yao Cores, the Yao Race can also advance further by devouring human Golden Cores. Even if they can't devour a Golden Core, human flesh is a great supplement for them, equivalent to a Spirit Pill."

"To put it bluntly, it's ultimately a struggle for resources. But resources don't appear out of thin air. They must be fought for and snatched bit by bit. It's normal for conflicts, contradictions, and grudges to arise between them. This matter is also a headache for me."

"However, I'm not that worried about those things. What I am worried about is that the state of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Mortal Realm can no longer be ignored. If this continues, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Mortal Realm might soon make it difficult for even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to be born."

"By then, if Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators become scarce, how can the Human Race compare to or contend with the Yao Race? Compared to the Yao Race, the lifespan of humans is far too short. You should know that in the Yao Race, even a Level One or Two Yao Beast has a lifespan of over a thousand years. Those Advanced Great Yao have lifespans of over ten thousand years. Even if the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi drops in the future, their strength won't decrease much, while it will be hard for the Human Race to produce high-Realm Cultivators. In such a case, how can the Human Race resist the Yao Race?"

"This is also what I worry about. Although it might be worrying unnecessarily, it is still a possibility. That's why I'm in a hurry to unseal all those Human Race Sealed Lands from the Ancient Era. Although doing so will release some Devilish Qi, for the Human Race as a whole, it is beneficial without harm, or rather, the benefits outweigh the harms."

"But they still think I want to unify the entire Mortal Realm. I can't be bothered to unify the whole Mortal Realm; not only is it exhausting, but it also invites so much right and wrong. If it weren't for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm, I wouldn't bother doing so much; it's exhausting."

"The reason I'm telling you all this is mainly because I can't find anyone who truly knows and understands me, so I can only share my worries and thoughts with you. I don't ask you to understand everything I do; I only hope to find someone to talk to. For me, just having someone to talk to is enough."

"I naturally understand the bitterness in my husband's heart, but unfortunately, I am weak and cannot help you."

"You, you just need to help me manage the affairs of the Chaotic Star Sea. I naturally have ways to resolve the rest. Don't they want to come looking for trouble with me? Then let them. I don't mind them looking for more trouble; it's a good chance for me to thoroughly clean up the entire Mortal Realm. For me, as long as I clean up the entire Mortal Realm, there will be much less trouble. I can also integrate the resources of the entire Mortal Realm and give them to those Cultivators with lower status."

"So that they can advance further and won't have to fight to the death for a single Spirit Stone like they do now. Alas, tell me, am I too kind? I think I really am a bit too kind, but I have no choice. Many things in the Mortal Realm need someone like me, the number one person in the Mortal Realm, to handle them. If I don't handle them properly, those Soul Transformation experts will each run faster than rabbits and won't care about these things at all."

"Even if they did care, they would only favor their own people and would never handle things impartially. Expecting them to be impartial is pure fantasy and entirely unrealistic. So, these things must be left for me to solve myself. As for the rest, it depends on their own fate and has little to do with me. Anyway, I've done my best. As for how they see it, that's their business and has nothing to do with me. Don't you agree?"

"What my husband says is very true. I also greatly admire my husband's character. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this Mortal Realm would be even worse."

Madam Wen said hurriedly.

"You're wrong about that. If it weren't for me, perhaps this Mortal Realm could remain peaceful for a while and wouldn't be this chaotic. But without me, wanting to unify the Mortal Realm would be pure fantasy. And only by unifying the entire Mortal Realm can its problems be solved step by bit. If the Mortal Realm cannot be unified, its problems will only keep accumulating until it's not far from collapse. By then, let alone Cultivators, even Mortals won't be able to stay in the Mortal Realm anymore. The Mortal Realm would be completely finished. Although we don't know how long that would take, that day will eventually come. So we must be more careful and attentive, and not have any negligence."
