Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1350

"...I want to know whether you can hide the soul pool from these people," Wang Wei said while pointing above his head.

"That is not an issue, especially after telling me of their existence," Ma Liquiu replied casually.

"Oh? So confident?" However, her response was only a smile.

"I want to remind you that I’m doing this purely out of interest, and I won’t move a muscle without seeing any benefit," Wang Wei said.

"So direct, huh?" Ma Liquiu uttered. "I understand, and you don’t have to worry."

"If you say so," Wang Wei nodded. "My last condition is a question; I want an honest answer."

"I’m all ears."

"Are you alive?" Wang Wei asked. His question immediately stumped her; it was apparent since Wang Wei could see the emotions from her facial expression.

"That’s an interesting question," Ma Liquiu uttered. "To answer you in the most simple way, I am not, but things are more complicated than that."

"More complicated than entering Limbo?"

"Yes, more complicated than that."

"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "I accept the deal. Do you have any requirements for the Paragon?"

"Nothing. I just don’t want the clan to become extinct. As long as they preserve our lineages, that will be enough for me."

"I understand," Wang Wei said. "How do we proceed?"

"You only need to find our clan’s Luck Condensing Artifact and enter the Void Illusion Realm."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes after hearing this: "Anything else?"

"That’s it," Ma Liquid nodded. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Fellow Daoist." She smiled, fully displaying her otherworldly charm. Wang Wei calmly watched as the figure disappeared.

"No contract? She must have her own guarantee," Wang Wei muttered, feeling another headache coming. "However, I should expect this from a False Transcendent."

Pseudo Transcendent is not the only other classification that Wang Wei created. There is still False Transcendent above them, and these are people who failed in their attempt to enter the path of transcendence but survived either by luck or their ingenuity. These people’s [Existence] should contain some qualities of [Half-Step Transcendents], making them way more powerful than Primal Paragons.

Wang Wei and Wu Hong theorized that there were not many pseudo and false transcendents in the world; their numbers are probably even less than actual [Half-Step Transcendent] due to the result of the Ultimate Taboo. However, these people will be abundant once the Transcendent Era starts and envelops the whole Chaos Universe.

’So, what should my next move be? Should I help her or treat her as a pawn?’ Wang Wei thought. He had many suspicions about this woman, and their conversation slowly revealed the truth. Firstly, he asked her to add mortals to the list of people from whom to gather soul power. Such an act might make it seem he was greedy and only wanted more profit, but he was also testing the water.

Ma Liquiu was communicating with him from the past, and what Wang Wei asked was basically to change history. Such an act should create enough backlash to kill a Primal Paragon on Wu Hong’s level. Yet, she agreed casually as if this was nothing to her. So, as soon as he agreed, Wang Wei had suspicions about her strength.

’I can’t sense anything,’ Wang Wei thought. This thing looked like a normal artifact to his eyes, and it’s the same no matter what he tries. ’Well, let’s take it as another reminder: never underestimate anyone with some achievements in the transcendent path. Alright, let’s get this show on the move.’

Wang Wei took a step and appeared before the gate he saw in his previous Karma Divination. Just as he saw, there were a few dozen robust seals, showing that whoever dealt with this place did not do it lightly.

’The good news is the thing I was worried about did not happen,’ Wang Wei thought with squinted eyes. He feared that Maitreya or Supreme Unity participated in sealing the Void Illusion Realm. His actions would have been futile if that had been the case. Luckily, this should have been Time Eater and the others’ work.

’Now is the bad news,’ Wang Wei thought as he turned around. "I can smell the stench of decay, cowardness, and arrogance even if you hide in the void.

"You are even more arrogant than the information said." A woman dressed in Yin-Yang robes appeared, followed by three others. Of course, Wang Wei recognized his greatest "enemies."

"You are — what was it again? Something Cauldron," Wang Wei asked. "Forget my rudeness, but my memories are important, and I don’t have room for unimportant people."

Seven Cauldron chuckled, her demeanor calm and unbothered. Unfortunately, the terrifying killing intent released from her body proved otherwise.

"I will enjoy your death," Seven Cauldron declared. "I will make a cup to drink wine out of your skull. That is a promise, and I always keep my word."

"What a vulgar woman," Wang Wei commented. "Wait, are you even a woman?" He was not saying these words for nothing; it was because he sensed some abnormality with her.

"Shut up."

"It seems I hit a sore spot."
