chapter 1350: first large scale confrontation

"...i want to know whether you can hide the soul pool from these people," wang wei said while pointing above his head.
"that is not an issue, especially after telling me of their existence," ma liquiu replied casually.
"oh? so confident?" however, her response was only a smile.
"i want to remind you that i'm doing this purely out of interest, and i won't move a muscle without seeing any benefit," wang wei said.
"so direct, huh?" ma liquiu uttered. "i understand, and you don't have to worry."
"if you say so," wang wei nodded. "my last condition is a question; i want an honest answer."
"i'm all ears."
"are you alive?" wang wei asked. his question immediately stumped her; it was apparent since wang wei could see the emotions from her facial expression.
"that's an interesting question," ma liquiu uttered. "to answer you in the most simple way, i am not, but things are more complicated than that."
"more complicated than entering limbo?"
"yes, more complicated than that."
"i see," wang wei nodded. "i accept the deal. do you have any requirements for the paragon?"
"nothing. i just don't want the clan to become extinct. as long as they preserve our lineages, that will be enough for me."
"i understand," wang wei said. "how do we proceed?"
he entered a secret realm full of people. these people looked normal to the naked eye, but wang wei saw more than that. he saw a group of prideful people who were beaten by society. the ma clan inherited their ancestor's pride in her accomplishments, but they did not have the ability to maintain. despite having the spirit of epochs for countless years, their clan slowly declined to the point where only three regular great emperors were in charge.
'i want to say how the mighty have fallen, but a part of me knows that this may be the fate of the wang clan one day,' wang wei thought, sighing deeply. he shook his head to remove these distracting thoughts. he swiftly scanned everyone in the clan.
"as expected, all their talents are terrible," wang wei muttered. it was hard to imagine a clan that gave birth to someone like ma liquiu had fallen to this state. 'maybe it's not a coincidence. maybe it's the luck backlash for her failure.' wang wei was inclined to believe this. someone of ma liquiu's level does not need to have direct descendants. with her achievements, the bloodline of the ma clan would naturally improve, so even after so long, there should be some talented individuals.
'i still have plenty of time. i can slowly excavate the talent from their bloodline. that approach should also make it easier for her to return,' wang wei thought. he waved his hand, and this secret realm shrunk into a ball before putting it away. meanwhile, his left hand held a golden pyramid that seemed to look different every time he looked at it.
'i can't sense anything,' wang wei thought. this thing looked like a normal artifact to his eyes, and it's the same no matter what he tries. 'well, let's take it as another reminder: never underestimate anyone with some achievements in the transcendent path. alright, let's get
this show on the move.'
wang wei took a step and appeared before the gate he saw in his previous karma divination. just as he saw, there were a few dozen robust seals, showing that whoever dealt with this
place did not do it lightly.
'the good news is the thing i was worried about did not happen,' wang wei thought with squinted eyes. he feared that maitreya or supreme unity participated in sealing the void illusion realm. his actions would have been futile if that had been the case. luckily, this should have been time eater and the others' work.
'now is the bad news,' wang wei thought as he turned around. "i can smell the stench of decay, cowardness, and arrogance even if you hide in the void.
"you are even more arrogant than the information said." a woman dressed in yin-yang robes appeared, followed by three others. of course, wang wei recognized his greatest "enemies." "you are - what was it again? something cauldron," wang wei asked. "forget my rudeness, but my memories are important, and i don't have room for unimportant people." seven cauldron chuckled, her demeanor calm and unbothered. unfortunately, the terrifying killing intent released from her body proved otherwise.
"i will enjoy your death," seven cauldron declared. "i will make a cup to drink wine out of your skull. that is a promise, and i always keep my word."
"what a vulgar woman," wang wei commented. "wait, are you even a woman?" he was not saying these words for nothing; it was because he sensed some abnormality with her.
"shut up."
"it seems i hit a sore spot."
