"I had similar thoughts before," Wu Hong admitted. "However, she had trouble trusting people, and because those two had their eyes on her, I never brought it up before. But, as you said, I'm considered half her master, so it should not be an issue for her to join me — if she wants to."

Although Xun Junyao had the potential to enter the next realm, Wu Hong would not force her or use emotional manipulation to trick her into her faction — she disdains doing such a thing. However, she will indeed extend an invitation.

"A promise of the Perfect Foundation Method should increase your chances," Wang Wei nodded. "However, do you think the path of perfection is truly the best for her?"

"Huh? What's with the sudden change?" The last time they talked, they agreed that the [Path of Perfection] was, well, perfect for Xun Junyao.

"I've been thinking about this since our conversation," Wang Wei said. "People often believe that [perfection] is a taboo because it is the quickest and easiest way to transcend, and it's also a way to tap into Grand Dao's power. But what if things were not so simple?

"It's one thing to achieve a [perfect body] or [perfect Dao], but you should understand what it means to have a [perfect mind]?"

"Cold, indifferent, calculating, and more importantly — no emotions," Wu Hong replied.

"Yes, in the path of perfection, human emotions are a liability, so people on this path will either eliminate it or suppress it to the lowest level possible," Wang Wei nodded. "However, these people are also the most ruthless. They will do anything to achieve their goals and have no bottom line."

Wang Wei considered himself a ruthless person, and his path of absolute freedom required him to have no moral restrictions. However, there are certain things he would never do, for example, forcing himself on someone else. He just needs to know he has the power to do it without any mortal guilt without doing it.

"These people don't care about friends, families, and loved ones. Everything can be abandoned for their pursuit of the Dao. It's fine if something like Grand Dao or Heavenly Dao, who is the consciousness that controls the rules of reality, but if cultivators had a similar mindset…"

"They will turn Heaven and Earth upside down, maybe even destroy it to achieve their goals," Wu Hong finished, and her eyes lit up. "That's why it's a taboo. Grand Dao wants people to achieve transcendence, but he doesn't want them to do it in an extreme manner that may endanger the Chaos Universe."

"Exactly."

Wu Hong sighed: "I understand Grand Dao's point of view, but the path of transcendence is already difficult to traverse. On top of everything else, rules limit how we operate."

"That's why, in the end, cultivators will revolt against Heaven and Earth," Wang Wei did not say Grand Dao but implied it. The two of them became quiet for a few seconds. This short conversation revealed the trend of the entire Chaos Universe. Peak Paragons will not accept there are certain things they cannot do to reach the pinnacle of the world, and this is even more so for Half-Step Transcendents. Considering that their strength means the rules no longer limit them, it's foreseeable how much chaos the world will be plunged into as Grand Dao tries to suppress and restrict these people, and they try to fight back.

"Let's not talk about that for now," Wu Hong said. She sensed that their conversation might soon be sensed and be warned. "However, without the path of perfection, Xun Junyao's future will not be as bright." Then, a look of realization dawned on her as she glanced at Wang Wei.

"Yin-Yang — Your Dao also included Freedom, so she can follow your example and walk the path of [Imperfect Perfection] — that's a path with more potential. No, better yet, the path [Emotional Perfection]." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"Emotional Perfection? In that case, she would need to change her Dao to Six Emotion Seven Desires or focus on spiritual practice."

"That's not a problem," Wu Hong answered. "Once she perfects her state of mind, she'll realize her Copy Dao is not the best fit for her. I'll then suggest she switches her primary Dao."

Wang Wei nodded. Switching Primary Dao is a dangerous thing since the cultivator will need to reforge their Dao Imprints, change their Dao Body and [Awakening], transform their soul, and lastly, their cultivation realm might drop — unless they cultivate a sub-Dao to the same level of their primary Dao before switching.

"Well, we've laid a path for her, but it's up to her whether she chooses to walk on it," Wang Wei said. No matter how much they plan or how extraordinary their ideas are, it's up to Xun Junyao to decide.

"That's true."

"Let's not talk about her anymore. What do you think about Emperor Kong?" Wang Wei asked.
