"That’s not an excuse," Wu Hong replied. She was sure that plenty of people from Earth who lived under capitalism did not turn out as terrible as he did. Unfortunately, as horrible as he was, he was her little monster. She waved her hand to summon a complex magic circle above the inner core. Wu Hong took her time perfecting the array before slowly lowering it to the ground and fusing it with the Void Illusion Realm.
"We are good. right?" Wang Wei asked.
"Not yet," Wu Hong replied as she focused on Zhenshi. She clenched her hands, generating a powerful shield that surrounded the spirit before crushing her into spiritual dust. Wu Hong drew a few runes in the void, which proceeded to absorb Zhenshi’s spirit dust before condensing a new spirit.
Wang Wei looked at the tiny creature with four wings. "Now, we’re good?"
"Yes. This new spirit is designed to fight against Ma Liquiu’s system and buy you as much time as possible."
"Excellent," Wang Wei smiled while condensing a token to hand to her.
"What’s this?"
"Access to the soul energy reserve — you should need for your Soul Quintessence."
"Thanks," Wu Hong nodded as she put the token away.
"Have you made a plan?"
"About what?"
"About whether you’re going to take the next step as soon as possible, or continue to perfect your foundation?"
"I was planning on traveling to the Infinite Trichiliocosm to get the Immeasurable Emperor Title after finishing with the Thirteen Transcendent Foundation, maybe even find a way to make up for missing the Emperor Taboo Realm," Wu Hong revealed truthfully.
"Then, you better hurry up," Wang Wei warned. "According to my prediction, the calamity will happen between 20,000 and 40,000 Yuan Epoch."
"So soon?" Wu Hong said. This was not much time, especially considering all the things she needed to do. After all, she hasn’t even modified Maitreya’s technique to fit her.
"I wish my prediction were more accurate, but as you know, there are too many Primordial Saints involved in this disaster, and this is the best Divination I can do."
"No need to blame yourself," Wu Hong reassured. Most Diviners would die or suffer severe backlash, trying to get as close to a date as he did, so she would not blame him for not being as accurate as possible.
"I think I’ll have to wait to see how the situation develops before making a choice," Wu Hong replied.
"That’s probably the best move," Wang Wei nodded. If Maitreya can buy enough time, then Wu Hong can focus on establishing her foundation. However, if things are dire, she must concentrate on raising her cultivation.
"Well, it’s time to leave." Wang Wei kissed her before teleporting away. As soon as he arrived home, he sensed something and smiled. He glanced at the new mountain in the distance with the name: Pill Sage Mountain. He did not hesitate to teleport above the large mansion that smelled like herbs. As soon as he arrived, a bright light flew into his arm.
"You’ve ascended?"
"It’s been a while," Yan Liling said as she held him tightly. "I came to see you, but they said you were in retreat."
"You should understand the current situation. I need to get stronger as soon as possible. Let me see you," Wang Wei ended the tight hug to better observe her situation. Yan Liling had her Alternative Dao Root Foundation, Emperor Taboo Battle Realm, 11th revolution bloodline, Limit Indestructibility, Peak Empyrean Realm, Empyrean Battle Taboo Realm, Paragon Soul, and a Paragon Willpower.
"Excellent. It seems you did your best in the lower dimension, and the sect also spent much effort on training you after your ascension."
"They did," Yan Liling nodded.
"I left instruction for that Old Man Wang Bo to be your teacher. Did he accept you?"
"I had to take a test, but yes, afterward, the old man refused to leave me alone."
"Hey, girl, this is the way you should be talking to your master," said a deep voice from the mansion. However, Wang Bo did not show up. So, Wang Wei just nodded to salute.
"Boy, I heard rumors that you are engaged to the Empress?"
"Of course."
"Tch, I’m so envious. You better treat her well."
Wang Wei’s lips twitched: "Old Man, you and I will have a problem if you keep thinking about my wife like that."
