Wang Wei's reaction to the Heaven Opening Emperor has everything to do with trust. He can trust his ancestors to some extent after analyzing their deeds, interacting, and his wife's personal experience with them. Nevertheless, he would never completely trust them since the number of people he trusts completely can be counted on one hand.
As for the Heaven Opening Emperor, he is in the category of people Wang Wei can "trust" once he is on the same level as them, with no overwhelming power disparity. Once that happens, he has no trouble reuniting the Wang Clan for his benefit.
He looked in the distance before disappearing and returning home. He first went to check on Li Jun and the others. He did show them the memories of what happened in the Science and Technology World since he did not want them to be affected by the taboo.
Wang Wei did not know the extent of Hongjun's protection, which would probably not extend to the people he loved. So, he would only show his wife since she might be safe from the taboo.
"How did it go?" asked Li Jun as he handed him some tea.
"Pretty well," replied Wang Wei before explaining his Mortal Dust. "What about yours?"
"Pretty standard. I became a murderous psychopath, a mighty general, a conqueror, and a battle-addicted martial artist. The only interesting aspect was when I was a corpse and worked in Samsara for your Life-Death Incarnation."
"That should have been quite the experience. What about the Eight Extremity Foundation?"
"It worked. I did what you told me and sent all my clones to the Space-Time Incarnation. They are now all Quasi-Emperors after cultivating in a parallel timeline."
"What did Liling decide?"
"She said she wants to take at least try."
Wang Wei nodded. Yan Liling's talent is better than Li Jun despite being way weaker than him. So, she wanted Wang Wei to preach [Existence] to her and see if she could walk the Nine Extremity Foundation.
Wang Wei also plans to do the same for his mother. He wants his mother to have the strength of 7-Leaf before proving the Dao; she has to have the power of a failed Nine Extremity Foundation. And he's prepared to go to extreme means if necessary.
He chatted with Li Jun for a while before seeing his father. Once he reached the Wang Clan's mountain, he saw the latter fishing before a small pond with a dazed look.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he sat next to him.
"Oh, you're here," replied Wang Tian. "I'm fine, just thinking about something."
"Where's mom?"
"She went back to her clan."
"Is everything alright?"
"No, just a normal visit."
"I see. So, what's on your mind that you did not even go with her?"
Wang Tian sighed before explaining the situation with the Sword Empress' talisman.
"In other words, you're conflicted about tempering your body despite the Ancestor giving you her wisdom that the body is necessary for the future path of cultivation?"
Wang Wei wanted to curse: these swordsmen were too stubborn.
"I know you think I'm inflexible, but things are not simple. I am now over 900,000 years and, and for all my life, I've held the belief that swordsmanship is all about giving up everything for offensive capabilities. How can I easily change?"
"You should also understand that the Ancestor spent innumerable Yuan Epochs to learn this lesson and shares that wisdom with you. Shouldn't that count as something?"
"It does, hence, why I'm conflicted."
Wang Wei took out a wine jar from his space ring and took a big sip, not hiding the frustration on his face.
"Did she leave her consciousness in the talisman?"
"Yes."
"Did you ask her the question?"
"You were right. Ancestor Qiyuan did preach [Existence] to her, and she achieved Nine Extremity."
"What level?"
"2-Root?"
"The reason for failure?"
"Her body was too weak," Wang Tian replied with a bigger sigh.
"So, are you prepared to walk the same path as her? With your talent and my guidance, achieving 5-Root should not be a problem."
"I-I don't know."
"Well, figure it out," Wang Wei disappeared and returned home to see his wife.
"These pure swordsmen are truly the most stubborn people I've met."
"The older and more powerful they are, the worse they become," Wu Hong replied. She also suffered this frustration when she tried to convince Sword Empress to temper her body. The latter did not change even after losing to her.
Wife, I miss you." He hugged her
