Wang Wei opened his eyes, looking at his wife snuggling in his arm. Last night, she was vulnerable, so they held each other tightly while sleeping. Although they did not speak, it was enough to have each other's comfort and warmth.
"How are you feeling?"
"Much better," replied Wu Hong with a smile, making Wang Wei dazed. Her pure white sleeping gown and brilliant smile granted her a more pure, ethereal, and soft aura he had never experienced before. And it was enchanting. freēwebnovel.com
"You're beautiful," he said, kissing her forehead.
"Aren't I always beautiful?"
"Yes, but today, you're radiant."
"Thank you, and you're not so bad yourself," replied Wu Hong, lightly tapping his face.
"Not bad? You should know anywhere I go, I can eat soft rice with this face."
(AN: Eating soft rice is a Chinese saying when a man uses his handsomeness to rely on his wife for financial stability or other forms of power or authority.)
"And I can easily get a sugar daddy with a snap of my finger. What are you getting at?" she replied, making Wang Wei's mouth twitch.
"Fine, you win."
"That's right. You're my boy toy: don't forget your status."
"Yes, my queen."
"You catch on very quick. Very well," said Wu Hong. "I will give you a present."
"Really?"
Wu Hong nodded before a white worm-like creature with grey stripes appeared in her palm.
"What is it?" asked Wang Wei after rapidly checking his memory and not finding the relevant information.
"A Fate Gu from the Gu Worm World," said Wu Hong. "I sent a clone to use their system to cultivate it using the River of Fate."
"Wang Wei took it as he sensed the power of fate emanating from this tiny creature, and he was astonished by how much power it contained.
"I prepared this for you during Gu Xuan's trial in case you hit the 4-Root level and could not achieve 5-Root. A way to achieve Fate Baptism through the Fate Gu. But now, it's not that useful."
"Not necessarily." Wang Wei could tell after refining this Gu, and with his Fate Palace Baptism, his strength will increase from a Dao Ancestor who controlled 4.99% to 4.999%--maybe even more. The 0.009% might not make a difference to the 5% of the Great Emperor Realm. But when encountering someone else with 5-Root strength, the difference will be between heaven and Earth.
"Thank you," he said, kissing her on the cheek. This small Gu is a perfect manifestation of his powerful luck and destiny. If he did not have the idea of using the Fate Palace to complete the Nine Extremity Foundation, the Fate Gu would become the perfect boost he needed to succeed.
"We are husband and wife: there is no need for words of gratitude."
"Sometimes I feel I don't deserve you," said Wang Wei with a sigh.
"I sometimes feel the same way about you," she replied. "Let's not get too sappy and emotional. I have a feeling you wanted to ask me something yesterday."
"Oh, right. It almost slipped my mind. Do you know an Emperor Jia?"
"Who?"
"Emperor Jia from the Spirit Genesis Sect," replied Wang Wei before explaining everything that occurred yesterday in the trial, including the Spirit Genesis Sect from the Battle Spirit Sect.
Wu Hong frowned after hearing him. "I understand how he could influence the record of every Heavenly Dao in the lower dimension. But to even affect True Heavenly Dao? That should not be possible–even on the tiniest scale."
"Really?"
"Most Heaven Will World's Heavenly Dao is on par with Third or Second Class Emperors. However, True Heavenly Dao's power equals Half-step Detachment. So, how could it easily be influenced?"
Wu Hong knew Paragons ruled the world and did as they pleased, but only because True Heavenly Dao was cruel and indifferent. It does not care whether Paragons slaughter all life in the world or rule over them with an iron fist. Besides reinforcing specific rules, everything else did not matter. After all, none of them were capable of destroying the entire Eternal Ascension World.
