"...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.
