Chapter 1312 Do You Plan To Do It?

Many people owe Wang Wei's karma, and he often goes out of his way to help people with the mindset of them owing a debt, which he plans to ask for repayment for one day. His mindset around this kind of thing is he'll do it to prepare for the future, but it doesn't matter if he never uses them.

He sipped his wine, savoring the taste. He calmly looked at the beautiful lake, including the rainbow in the distance. "By the way, why not change the Academy's name to Empyrean Enlightening Academy? Do you want to keep the name forever? Or do you want to wait until you are qualified to call it Paragon Enlightening Academy?"

"Paragon Enlightening?" Emperor Kong muttered. "That's a wonderful name, isn't it?"

"Hmm?" Wang Wei glanced at him. "Why do you sound like you're not satisfied enough?" Wang Wei squinted: "Could it be you're ambitious enough to want to take the name [Dao Enlightening Academy]?"

Emperor Kong waved his hand, "I'm not that brave or stupid." He knew if he used the word [Dao] without being worthy, his sect's luck would instantly be ruined, leading to its eventual destruction. According to what Emperor Kong knows, only two factions have ever bore the title of [Dao] throughout the Eternal Ascension World's history.

The first is from an era so long ago that it has been lost to history, and the other is the Dao Opening Sect. However, the Dao Opening Sect did not dare take this name before doing great, meritorious service to Heaven and Earth during the Devil Catastrophe. Before that, it was only called the [Myriad Origin Sect].

Despite the Dao Opening Sect being acknowledged by Heavenly Dao, many people felt they did not deserve such a grand title. It was not a problem in the lower dimension, but their virtue could not support that name even after what they did during the war. It wasn't until after the Ultimate Taboo that people truly acknowledged that title.

Qiyuan "opened the Dao" to the entire Chaos Universe by making the way of transcendence more accessible so the whole universe can accept the Dao Opening Sect having such a title in their name.

"So, what is it then?" Wang Wei asked.

"Paragon is not the limit of cultivation, is it?" Emperor Kong responded.

"An academy that trains Transcendent?" Wang Wei chuckled. "Ambitious, indeed."

However, certain things made him doubt his judgment. As soon as Wang Wei uttered the words [Transcendent Foundation], the first thing he thought of was Xun Junyao. Perfection has always been a taboo in the world, and most people who pursue this path usually end up miserable. But what was it a taboo? Emperor Kong was wise enough to link Grand Dao's ban on Perfection to its connection to the [Transcendent Path]. So, he immediately thought that Xun Junyao might belong to a unique individual in Wang Wei's first category.

Numerous thoughts flashed in Emperor Kong's mind. He analyzed all the information he knew about transcendence and re-evaluated them based on Wang Wei's words. Sadly, he realized he knew too little.

Emperor Kong sighed deeply. 'Our foundation is too shallow.' He suddenly realized how much weaker his academy's foundation was compared to these top lineages who have cultivated countless peak Paragons who have already started their journey toward the next realm. He instantly removed all his pride in building the academy to such a level. Although he always reminded himself that he had a long way to go, today's events showed how true these words were.

Emperor Kong decided to take Wang Wei's bait. He knew he might have to pay a steep price, but getting his hands on such a valuable piece of information would be worth it. "Fellow Daoist–" He stopped as he realized Wang Wei was looking into the sky, and he finally sensed a mysterious aura, so he also raised his head.

"It seems I've said too much, and you're too weak to get involved in matters of this level," Wang Wei said calmly. Even with his preventive measures, he could only say so much. It's also possible that he could say so much because he took the previous measures.

"It seems so," Emperor Kong said, again feeling his insignificance. He sipped his wine and closed his eyes for a few minutes. Once he opened them, he had already adjusted his mindset. Wang Wei secretly nodded in acknowledgment. Although he purposely suppressed Emperor Kong's arrogance to control the rhythm of their conversation and ensure things favored him during later negotiations, he still appreciated how fast the latter readjusted and controlled his emotions.

"Fellow Daoist, is this the main reason you've visited?"

"Of course not," Wang Wei replied. "My main goal is to ask you whether you're interested or plan on killing one of those parasites. If so, we can work together, or at the very least, come to an agreement so we don't target the same person."

"Killing a Paragon?" Emperor Kong uttered with squinted eyes. "This is not something that anyone can do."

Wang Wei looked at him and shook his head internally. He had many praises for Emperor Kong, but he also had one criticism: he talked like a scholar. He was never direct, his words were always ambiguous with any interpretations, and he stated his thoughts in a roundabout manner.

Wang Wei did not know whether he talked like this with everyone or a tactic he used to deal with him. Regardless, it did not matter; he was now bored with it.

"Be direct and tell me what you're thinking," he said.
