Wang Wei ignored the sad and pitiful look Wrath gave him, acting as if she was a puppy that her owner abandoned. Mo Yuan gave him news about his artifact in exchange for looking at her. However, one artifact was someone else's property, and the other was probably already taken by Heavenly Book, meaning Wang Wei gained nothing in that deal. Despite knowing this fact, he went above board to help her, so he felt no guilt toward anyone. In fact, he plans to cut off his karmic connection with her once he returns the artifact and she's safe.
He slowly observed this black orb, feeling the immense power it contained. A message entered his mind, and it was from the Heavenly Serpent Empress teaching him how to borrow the strength of the artifact. 'She's careful,' Wang Wei thought. Without her key, he'd have to use his own means of controlling this thing, which would mean fighting with the Empress and the dead Mo Yuan's means of control.
Wang Wei placed a temporary soul imprint inside the artifact before using the Empress's key to activate. The orb floated before him, transforming into different weapons under his thought. 'All the pieces are in place, so let's move on to the plan.' Despite his words, Wang Wei did not immediately act. Instead, he returned home to recuperate.
Even with the best soul pills available, Wang Wei's soul only returned to his peak after one and half million years. During this time, he also handed the artifact to Boss Wang Bo and the others to study and record as much information as possible. Once he finished, Wang Wei contacted Yu Cai to get him the best Enlightenment Pill in the sect's reserves. At the Paragon level, such a pill is beyond priceless, but Wang Wei took five before leaving. His next destination was the Heavenly Beauty Palace.
"You're here," Xiao Tiandi said in a strange tone. Wang Wei nodded while observing him. He never had a chance to observe Xiao Tiandi's change after they asked him about Tian Xuan.
'He succeeded in the Third Awakening of his physique, which allowed him to enter the Empyrean Taboo Battle Realm. He also awakened a few abilities,' Wang Wei thought. This transformation made sense since Tian Xuan's physique was an evolution of the Innate Grand Dao Source Physique. More importantly, he followed Wang Wei's warning and did not directly absorb the blood.
"Why do you sound like you don't want to see me?" Wang Wei asked.
"Your plan, is it dangerous?" Xiao Tiandi asked.
"What do you think?"
"Does she have to participate?"
"It has to be her," Wang Wei nodded.
"Can you guarantee her safety?"
"I can't even guarantee my own let alone others," Wang Wei replied, almost rolling his eyes. "However, if you want, I can give you my place."
"You would let me take the reins?" Xiao Tiandi asked.
"Why not?"
"Then, I'll have to decline."
"Why?" Wang Wei asked.
"There must be grave danger if you're willing to step back," Xiao Tiandi sneered.
"Wouldn't you feel secure if you were in charge? After all, it's the woman you love that is in the line," Wang Wei replied.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Tiandi swiftly answered as he looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping. "Don't say this kind of nonsense here."
"Love doesn't have to be romantic," Wang Wei said with a grin, making Xiao Tiandi stare at him. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Lead the way." Xiao Tiandi led him to a mountainspring where Xun Junyao was drinking tea beside a pavilion.
