Chapter 1418 Reunions (I)
By using his token, Wang Wei directly teleported to the Primal Seed Trial, and with the first test, he understood why few people could get this position. His first task was to defeat a Paragon Projection with 90% strength; in other words, the minimum requirement for this test was to enter the Taboo Realm in the Empyrean Realm.
This test was not an issue for Wang Wei, and he passed without much effort. The second part of the trial tested his soul. The second requirement for the position was a Paragon Soul while in the peak of the Empyrean Realm, and the soul has to be at least 92%. The third test was for willpower. The trial had a way to quantify willpower based on a Paragon's cultivation, and the minimum requirement for this test was also 92% willpower. The fourth trial tested the Dao Foundation, and the minimum requirement is a Dao Re-establishment that achieves 1-Root strength.
The final test of this trial involved accomplishment. The owner of the Primal Seed Token must have something remarkable, for example, acquiring the Paragon Slayer Title. Although Wang Wei did not get the title, he has done countless remarkable things, including ending the Seven Moon Era and saving the world from Supreme Unity's evil machinations.
The news immediately spread through the Dao Communication Realm after Wang Wei passed the trial with passing colors. He did not hide his trial, so anyone could use their tokens to watch the process. Not long after his triumph, the Zhou Patriarch visited Wang Wei and brought gifts. Although the patriarch did not say anything about his previous animosity, he displayed his attitude with the gift, so Wang Wei accepted it.
The other clans came to congratulate him but did not bring gifts like the Zhou Clan. However, they showed more respect than they did during the first visit. Yan Hai left the position for him, but it was different when he showed that he could acquire the position on his own. Overall, Wang Wei's position in the sect was strengthened after this trial.
Time passed, and less than five years after releasing the news, the first guest arrived in the Dao Opening Sect, and they were Wang Wei's acquaintances. In fact, they directly visited him.
"Lady Xun, it's a pleasure to see you," Wang Wei said as he motioned for her to sit down.
"You know I'm here too," Xiao Tiandi complained. Wang Wei ignored him, serving tea to him, Lady Xun, and the last visitor — Chen Shu.
"You're the extraordinary chef, right?" Wang Wei said.
"Yes," Chen Shu nodded. "Thank you for saving my disciple."
"The little girl that abandoned me after meeting his master?" Wang Wei said casually. Ever since he sent that little girl to her master, she never returned, meaning he lost a talented chef from his team.
"She did not abandon you. I'm a little protective of her now, so I didn't allow her to stay outside," Chen Shu swiftly explained. "But I promised to repay you for what you did for my disciple."
"That's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded before focusing on his primary guest. "So, Lady Xun, have you been well lately?"
"Life would have been better if I wasn't poor," Xun Junyao replied, making Wang Wei speechless. "If you have something to say, you can be direct."
"Good," she nodded; that's what she wanted. "I've successfully gathered the ticket for me and my apprentice, but I'm short of one for Chen Shu. I would like for you to do me a favor and allow me to pay for another spot using anything else than those damn pills."
Xun Junyao had plenty of resources but did not have many Existence Healing Pills. She used her connection to get 10 pills, but she needed an extra five for her trusted chef.
"That's a small issue," Wang Wei agreed.
"What do you want as payment?" Xiao Tiandi asked; he did not want to owe this bastard anything. Wang Wei raised his hand to display a projection of a world.
"This is a small clan called the Hui family, which focuses on the Dao of Cooking. I need Chen Shu to accept one of their members as his disciple and teach them all his skills." The development of the Hui Clan involved whether Wang Wei could one day make his future wife admit his cooking is better than hers, so he hasn't forgotten about them.
Xun Junyao did not agree on Chen Shu's behalf; instead, she looked at him to make a decision.
"It may not appear so, but my techniques require high talent," Chen Shu said.
"It's okay. You can take your time to find someone talented enough or even artificially create such a talent."
"In that case, I don't have any issue."
Wang Wei nodded, and in front of all of them, he sent a message to Yu Cai asking for a ticket for Chen Shu. Once the latter confirmed the process, their deal was officially concluded. "Thank you," Xun Junyao said, and Wang Wei accepted her gratitude. He was then prepared to chit-chat with these people before sending them away, but it seems that all their objectives were not accomplished.
"One more thing," Xiao Tiandi said.
"If you want to ask me about the Mortalhood Trial, I know as much as you do," Wang Wei said.
"No, that's not what we wanted to know," Xiao Tiandi replied. He took a moment to recognize his thoughts. "The Seven Moon Era has ended, and all signs indicate your next target should be the lock next." Wang Wei frowned but did not interrupt.
"We wanted to ask you for advice on the upcoming era," Xiao Tiandi asked. Wang Wei mulled it over, thinking how much to reveal or whether to say anything at all. "Well, we've been allies for a while, and I can trust you guys to a certain extent." He raised his hand to hide the secrets of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings. His cautions raised the other's guards to the highest level.
"The world will face another major catastrophe once the lock is gone."
"What? Shouldn't we be entering the era of transcendence?" Xiao Tiandi asked.
"It seems you know a lot," Wang Wei uttered.
"What catastrophe?"
"The board needs to be reshuffled before the transcendence era," Wang Wei said.
"So, a catastrophe targeting the Overlords," Xun Junyao summarized.
"That's right," Wang Wei nodded. "However, as you can imagine, no catastrophe is simple. If things go wrong, foreigners will occupy the Eternal Ascension World, and the Transcendence Era will have nothing to do with us, the natives." The room became silent as these three processed this news.
"Can you stop this catastrophe?" Xiao Tiandi asked.
"There are too many players involved, and I'm powerless to stop it," Wang Wei replied truthfully. Such simple words have revealed much information to the three of them.
"What do you suggest we do to survive the upcoming chaos?" Xiao Tiandi asked directly.
"Find a backer," Wang Wei replied. "Many transcendent powerhouses will be involved, and by then, Xun Junyao's [Perfection Essence] will be greatly sought after by people who seek the transcendence path or transcendents who want to return to their peak."
"Are you suggesting we join Buddhism?"
"That's an option. However, we will have a home advantage in this catastrophe, so you can expect more transcendents appearing amongst the Overlords and top lineages. You can choose one of them as your backer."
Chen Shu was quiet while the pair of master and disciples were deep in thought. They glanced at each other and communicated with their eyes. Although Wang Wei didn't know what they said, he could tell they must have come to an initial agreement.
"Thank you for this information," Xun Junyao declared, preparing to leave.
"No problem," Wang Wei said. "But I should warn you — you will be instrumental in destroying the lock, so you should prepare early."
Xun Junyao suddenly paused, and Xiao Tiandi quickly asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Obviously."
"In that case —"
"The world's destiny is not mine alone to bear," Wang Wei cut him off. "Everyone must contribute if we want a chance at escaping that disgusting cage."
"I understand," Xun Junyao said. "I'll be prepared."
Wang Wei nodded before escorting them out of his mansion. 'Her perfection is indeed different from mine. My perfection focuses more on my cultivation foundation, while hers is the core of her entire being. She can probably achieve half-step transcendence as long as she can spread that perfection to her body and soul. However, once her soul becomes perfect, she'll become like a machine as all her emotions and desires evaporate — just like Grand Dao.'
Wang Wei knew the technique would bring him countless benefits, but he did not expect it to this extent. Seeing someone's blueprint is the best way to see their innermost essence; it's like having a key to the universe's deepest secrets.
'The path of imperfect perfection is indeed the best way forward for Xun Junyao,' he commented. 'Although this path is not suitable to me, the idea of a Perfect Fleshly Body to achieve transcendence is worth exploring.'
