Chapter 1268  Future Husband and Wife Compete

Unedited Chapter.

—–

Wang Wei listened attentively to Immortal Venerable Six Sword’s sermon, and once the 1000 years ended, he opened his eyes, having been inspired to create a few decent sword attacks. He noticed his future wife had also woken up, and her eyes were similar to his.

“Hmm? Can this low-level sermon have any effect on you?” he asked. He figured that, with her cultivation level, such a sermon would be child play for her. Maybe she was inspired to create something, but after living for so long, he believed she had already explored all possibilities of her Dao.

“Don’t you understand why my Sealing Dao is so potent?” Wu Hong asked.

“Knowledge,” Wang Wei answered without hesitation.

“That’s right. As such, I never stopped learning, no matter who the individual is,” Wu Hong explained. “Throughout my life, I’ve sent countless clones to infiltrate events like this so I can amass vast knowledge.” Why could she seal almost everything? That’s because she knew nearly everything, and to reach that level, she spent a lot of time gathering knowledge from everywhere and all kinds of people — no matter how weak they were. One of her primary motives in participating in the Second Origin War and being so active was to use the chaos and gather knowledge from everywhere throughout the Chaos Universe.

“Our Wang clan’s daughter-in-law is a scholar? I’m sure the ancestor would see this as a blessing considering all of us are a group of rough men,” Wang Wei chuckled. Wu Hong had to physically pause after hearing these words. Then, she gazed at him:

“Getting a little too comfortable, aren’t we?”

“You’re absolutely right, and I sincerely apologize,” Wang Wei said with a straight face and body language that indicated as such.

‘This bastard,’ Wu Hong thought. She resisted the urge to slap him into oblivion as she could tell he was the opposite of sincere. Then, she displayed a charming smile. Such an act should have made Wang Wei reach cloud nine, but deep fear rushed into his soul instead.

“I’m suddenly worried about your safety and future,” Wu Hong said, keeping that lovely smile. “How about this? For my peace of mind, I’ll train you after this event. Yes, only with my training can I feel reassured that nothing will happen to you when you face these people.”

‘Oh, common on, woman,’ Wang Wei thought. ‘It’s written all over your face that you want to use this opportunity to beat me up. This is abuse. This is a crime of a wife abusing her husband.’ Sadly, he did not dare say these words out loud.

“Is this necessary?”

“What do you think?” Wu Hong replied her smile still as angelic as ever.

“Fine,” Wang Wei accepted his fate. He knew she would beat him, but she’d also train him, and there was no better teacher than her.

“I know I should never have trusted in that bastard, Fate,” Wang Wei muttered under his breath. “It lured me with the promise of a beautiful, talented, and strong wife, but without telling me the consequences. All my life, I’ve been suppressed by this woman. Alright. Fine. But one day, I’ll surpass her and have my revenge.”

After uttering these words, Wang Wei felt his spirit condensing slightly as he formed a second semi-obsession. Meanwhile, Wu Hong, next to him, obviously heard his mumble with her cultivation.

‘Keep dreaming,’ Wu Hong thought. However, she felt the pressure. With how she was stuck before the gate that is transcendent, she knew, with his talent, it was only a matter of time before this bastard’s strength reached the same level as hers and even surpassed it since his foundation would be better than her because achievements like Ten Supremacy Foundation, the title of Mortal Emperor, and more importantly, the Perfect Foundation and becoming an Immeasurable Emperor. And that’s not mentioning how he achieved the Taboo Realm in all three realms while she only did it in two. All these things may seem insignificant now, but they will become essential factors in how strong someone is in the Primal Paragon, and Wu Hong theorized they are even more critical once someone enters Half-Step Transcendence.

‘No, I can’t let this bastard surpass me,’ she thought. Wu Hong could foresee how embarrassing it would be once that happened, and she knew he meant every word about making her pay.

‘Should I just enter the Dark Truth and practice the Perfection Foundation? He did it, and he’s perfectly fine?’ She could not decide now but was leaning toward just doing it.

‘Let’s not make a decision now, but there are other steps I can take,” she analyzed. ‘The main goal is to become Half-Step Transcendent before him — that is a must. The secondary goal is to improve my foundation.’ Countless thoughts flashed into her mind.

‘It’s impossible to make up for the Emperor Taboo Realm since the price is not worth it,’ Wu Hong analyzed. According to her years of study and analysis, a kind of transformation will occur after becoming a Half-Step Transcendent based on a person’s achievement in the Taboo Realms. As such, if a cultivator wishes to benefit from it, they must do it at the appropriate realm. Wu Hong would have to reincarnate and start over to get the benefit of the Emperor Realm.

Such a price was not worth it since she did not know for sure what the benefit was. After becoming a transcendent, she hopes to make up for it in another way.

‘I can acquire the Ten Supremity Foundation by experiencing Foundation Re-establishment, but in my realm, it is extremely dangerous — even for someone like me,’ Wu Hong thought. ‘However, I can increase my chances of success and decrease the mortality rate by training someone who achieves that foundation, sealing it, and taking it for my use.’

This plan is feasible, with the only downside being that she must find someone talented enough for the job. However, such a small problem was nothing to her; she could use resources to change someone into such a talent or even use her Grandmist Wheel to create someone. Additionally, Wu Hong understood that talent was not the primary requirement for achieving the Ten Supremacy Foundation. Her training will be critical as she must ensure that the chosen individual has enough luck/destiny, wisdom, Dao Heart, resources, and willpower.

‘Ten Supremacy is still doable, but Immeasurable Emperor is something else,’ Wu Hong frowned. That was an achievement instead of a foundation. As such, if she wanted to receive its blessing, it was not as simple as cultivating someone and then taking it from them.

When she met Wang Wei at the hot spring, she peeped at his past and saw everything he experienced in the lower dimension in other to get a non-bias understanding of his personality. As such, she knew that the critical factors to becoming an Immeasurable Emperor were to have a deep enough understanding of the Dao in the mortal realm and a Dao Heart and Willpower strong enough to create a path directly to the Grand Dao Source.

Wu Hong knew that she could train such a person as long as she invested enough time and resources. However, that would not help since absorbing them is not enough to get the true blessing of the Immeasurable Emperor Achievements. Instead, she would need to change her past, making it seem like she had achieved it.

‘However, that path is not feasible,’ Wu Hong thought. Anything relating to messing with time is already complex enough, but that’s not even the main reason this approach would not work. Wang Wei was the first Immeasurable Emperor of the Chaos Universe. If Wu Hong changed her past to acquire that achievement, she would be rewriting the history of the entire Chaos Universe. The backlash from such an act would instantly wipe her from existence.

‘An alternate approach would be to create a Causality-Free Clone, send it to reincarnation, and absorb it once it becomes an Immeasurable Emperor. However, that is another problem on its own,’ Wu Hong groaned.

Due to their rarity, the methods of creating causality-free clones are among the most valuable things in the Chaos Universe. People desperately search for them, as this is the only way to make up for past regrets without having to start over.

It is the only widespread way to grant a second attempt at the Eternal Path without reincarnating and starting over. As such, Emperors, Empyreans, and Paragons, who failed to become Eternals, Everlasting, and Boundless, desperately wish to create a casualty-free clone.

Wu Hong squinted her eyes. She knew that the rarity of this method was not even the biggest problem. These clones are one of the biggest pits in the universe. Causality-free clones are one of the ways these higher beings manipulate people since it’s easier to corrupt the clones and have them rebel against their creators.

‘Unless, as a last resort, I don’t want to use this method,’ wu Hong contemplated.
