A new kind of snack appeared before Wang Wei, and it looked like gelo, to be specific — a slime. It took him a moment to recognize it as the Spine Fluid from a creature called the Dragon-Spine Lizard. This thing can instantly raise an Empyrean's soul by 30%.
Wang Wei shook his head. Sometimes, it was a curse to be too strong. He slowly ate, and as described in the records, it was also quite delicious.
"By the way, how come Xun Junyao's faceless situation is not a much bigger deal," Wang Wei asked.
"No one can see through it, except probably these two," Wu Hong replied as she also enjoyed the spine fluid.
"No one? Including Paragons?"
"Yes."
"Then, you?"
"She showed it to me," Wu Hong explained. "She wanted to see if I could seal her flaw and give her a face. Sadly, I couldn't do it then."
"Then?" Wang Wei caught the crucial part of her words.
"After reading about the Perfect Foundation and learning more about Perfection, I think I can make a flawed seal."
"Flawed? Is it because the essence of perfection is transcendent level?"
"Correct," Wu Hong nodded. "So, my seal might give her an ordinary face. However, I'm unsure if I want to do that now."
"Oh, why?"
"I kind of agree with you," Wu Hong explained. "Of all living beings, she has probably the highest chance of taking a step in the transcendent path. If I act now, I might ruin her potential."
"Do you want to allow her to choose?"
"Yes, but only after she sees you."
"What do I have to do with this?"
"You'll see."
"Don't start acting like those old cultivators who like to act all secretive, only revealing half the truth and talking in riddles."
Wu Hong rolled her eyes. "Some things are simply not my business."
"Of, come on: give me something."
"She has a mental barrier to overcome, and meeting you is the key. That's all I'm willing to say."
Wang Wei looked at her.
"What's with that look?"
"Why does your relationship with her sound like a master and disciple?"
"It's not like that," Wu Hong shook her head. "As you know, I received much help from the female Paragons during my growth, and to express my gratitude, I've been doing the same for any potential female cultivator."
"Girl Power," Wang Wei waved his fist.
Wu Hong once again rolled his eyes. "That's…what's the word? Oh, yeah, cringe."
"Ouch!" Wang Wei felt like a critical blow hit him. Is there anything worse than being called [cringe] by the woman of your dreams? This kind of mental devastation will instantly kill any lesser man.
"That was harsh," Wang Wei muttered. "What were those two's reactions to her?"
"If I had to guess, Maitreya definitely studied her, but Supreme Unity might not dare, or he's cautious about it," Wu Hong replied.
"That makes sense," Wang Wei nodded. "His way of taking that step involved taking over Heavenly Dao, which is Grand Dao's property. I'm surprised that the technique was not labeled as taboo. If he starts to involve himself in perfection, Grand Dao might interfere directly and eliminate him."
"His technique is a small taboo," Wu Hong admitted.
"It is?"
"The aftermath of the Second Origin War was called the Ultimate Taboo because Qiyuan summoned all transcendent methods that have existed through time and space before condensing it into a trial. However, many of these methods were considered banned or minor taboos by Grand Dao's standards."
