1208 Grandmother

"He started acting as if everyone else was beneath him. Based on his words, he did not think these 'lowly' creatures could help him in his path, and their purpose was to serve and worship him," Maitreya explained.

"Do you think he was always like that, or did he suddenly change?" Wang Wei asked.

"I don't know for sure," Maitreya replied. "Before the Ultimate Taboo, Supreme Unity was an odd man, for sure, but he never showed any signs that his personality was this twisted. Maybe he's been hiding for so long, or maybe his oddness made him susceptible to change or influence. Ultimately, I don't think that matters for now."

"True," Wang Wei nodded. "One more question: what exactly is your realm? How do you achieve it?" Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"I'll tell you everything after this mess is cleaned up and you've become a Paragon."

"I guess I should have expected this."

"There is certain information you cannot contact until you're of a certain strength or realm. This rule is not as strict for you because you've deduced these secrets on your own, but it still exists.'

These words brought Wang Wei to his time in the lower dimension when he could ask his wife about many secrets of Heaven and Earth. Sometimes, Heavenly Dao or even Grand Dao would stop their conversation. Sadly, he was forced to rely on his brain to get these secrets after she left.

"Any more questions?"

"One last question: do I call you grandma?" Wang Wei asked without shame, making Maitreya laugh.

"Grandma! I remember years ago, when I was a mortal, I always wanted a family," she reminisced. "However, I've renounced these sectarian concepts after so long."

"So, that's a no?"

"Do you want to call me grandma?"

"Who wouldn't want such powerful and hopefully doting grandparents?" Wang Wei replied cheekily.

Maitreya's smile widened.

"As much as I would love for us to be this close, you should reserve that title for Mao Yue."

"She might indeed see it as a sign of disrespect," Wang Wei agreed, so he did not bring it on anymore.

Wang Wei had a bright smile on his face. Although he still needed to verify whether the Dark Truth was here, he was confident in his analysis. Unfortunately, a terrible realization dawned on him: 'She's technically no longer my wife,' he thought with a painful heart. 'What if I can't woe her again, and she severs our bond.' No matter how powerful things like fate and destiny are, nothing is set in stone for people of their cultivation realm. They have a lot of choices and free will, meaning it's still possible for him and Wu Hong not to end up together.

'Okay, calm down, Wang Wei. You're handsome, suave, have a good personality, well, maybe not good, but charming, and have great potential. I have hope if she's willing to give me a chance.'

After giving himself a pep talk, he calmed down. Despite how desperately he wanted to, now was not the time to meet her. 'Let's check on grandfather.' He opened a portal to Samsara.

Wang Wei found himself floating above two bridges that crossed a terrifying dark river. One bridge looked ordinary, and the other was golden. The ordinary one was a passage for regular souls, but the golden one contained only immortal souls. Yet, both were full of souls that kept on coming.

The second thing he noticed was how stable this space was. He was shocked as he realized his full strength could not tear the space in this place. He could teleport but could not destroy the fabric of this space.

Wang Wei then frowned as he sensed countless powerful gazes locked on him, seemingly warning him. However, they seemed to relax slightly after detecting his [Minor Three Realm Emperor] status. He controlled himself and uttered: "Grandma, I'm here to see you." However, nothing happened after a few minutes, so Wang Wei continued.

"I know you should be very busy, but my grandfather disappeared as he was reincarnating, and I, no, the family is worried about his whereabouts."

Wang Wei then heard a sigh, followed by a peaceful voice with the power to naturally calm people down. "Did she tell you?"

"She did."

"That was not her truth to reveal."

"Probably, but it was also the best way to lower my guards against her," Wang Wei nodded.

"Your grandfather is fine," Mao Yue's voice continued. "With my training, he will live up to the expectations you have for him."

"That's good to hear."

"However, I cannot meet or help you in any way or form - at least, not now."

"I know there are strict rules and regulations in Samsara," Wang Wei replied. He did not expect any help. "I came to check on Grandpa and to ask your opinion on Maitreya."

"It's good to be vigilant," Mao Yue praised. "As for her? She is someone who truly deserves the title of [Buddha]. However, her actions are the result of the conflicting ideals of Buddhism and cultivating in general.

"Buddhism requires a kind, peaceful, and nonconfrontational mindset. Meanwhile, cultivation is all about power, a hierarchy, and the survival of the fittest. When presented with the opportunity to reach higher levels, Maitreya followed her instinct as a cultivator instead of a Buddha. Now, she's living with regret and paying the consequences of her choice."

Wang Wei pondered. His grandmother's words perfectly encapsulated the character profile he made for Maitreya after their short meeting.
