Feng Jun was taken aback as well. "Not yet sixty, and already at the Eighth Layer of Emergence from Dust... Did she awaken Past-Life Wisdom?"
Hearing this, the Yin Soul Big Shot could not hold back. "Have you misunderstood the words 'Past-Life Wisdom'? You are not even forty and have reached the Eighth Layer of Emergence from Dust. She is at least in her fifties. Let me tell you, if a great cultivator reincarnates and awakens Past-Life Wisdom... forming a Core Embrace at thirty is perfectly normal!"
"Keep bluffing," Feng Jun snorted disdainfully. "Come on, give me an example. Who formed a Core Embrace in their thirties? Someone in their forties counts too... Do you have an example?"
"Of course I have no examples," the Big Shot admitted without denying it. "If it were me reincarnating and cultivating anew, even with awakened Past-Life Wisdom, I would not dare form a Core Embrace before sixty... It would be far too easy to attract others' covetous eyes."
That was the honest truth. No matter how mighty one had once been, reincarnation and recultivation still had to proceed step by step. If one's origins were exposed while one was weak, someone would definitely risk everything for wealth and fortune.
The Big Shot itself was an obvious example. Because it feared someone might target it, it had advised Feng Jun against going to the Four Sects and Five Platforms' strongholds. When it had first encountered Feng Jun, it had even pretended to be dead.
Feng Jun was delighted to hear that. "Exactly. A naturally gifted person like me is the real genius. So what if someone awakens Past-Life Wisdom? If they do not dare reveal it, how is that any different from not awakening it at all?"
"That is sophistry," the Big Shot refused
