Fu Manman's hands stopped moving, and even Xianchan opened his eyes, staring at him blankly.
"Why?"
"It's inconvenient to tell you." Fan Wubing, fearing Fu Manman might think he disliked her, attempted to explain.
But Fu Manman just nodded, "Oh. How long will you be gone?"
It was Fan Wubing's turn to be stunned, "Not too long." He couldn't help but ask, "You don't mind?"
Fu Manman smiled and countered, "Why would I mind? It's not like you're leaving forever."
Fan Wubing sighed in relief, smiling slightly, "I was overthinking it."
"Did you think I'd insist on going with you?"
"It crossed my mind."
Fu Manman smiled slightly, "Just as well, I can use this ti to calm down."
"Calm down?"
"Yes, I need to really think about my own matters."
"What matters?"
"Planning the Immortal Path, the Dao, and..." She paused, slightly embarrassed, "matters between us. Hmm... It's hard to express my feelings clearly to you. To put it simply, it's probably a mix of happiness and confusion."
"Confusion?"
"Yes... It's a first. Really confusing..." Fu Manman gazed outside, her eyes distant and wandering, "To be honest, I don't want to always be following behind you. I don't want others to say, 'that one who's close with Fan Wubing,' but rather 'Fu Manman is remarkable in her own right.' Just like..."
She stopped speaking.
"Just like what?"
"Hmm." She shook her head, "Never mind, no need to say more."
But in her heart, Fu Manman thought, "Just like your senior sister Fu Ming, whom I've never t, yet I've always heard of her legendary stories."
"Alright. I believe in you."
Once again, Fan Wubing realized the reassuring side of Fu Manman.
...
Sitting on his bed in his room, Fan Wubing opened his attribute panel,
[Fan Wubing]
[Age: 15 years old]
[Life: 501.24 million/501.24 million points]
[Cultivation Level: Peak of Nascent Soul]
[Cultivation Techniques: "Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill," "Star Swallowing Moon Chewing," "Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Skill"]
[Divine Techniques: "Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill," "Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique," "Divine Power Soul Suppressing Skill," "Azure Profound Thousand Transformations Skill," "Demonic Body Transforming Weapon," "Fulong Wenda" (Not Practiced)]
[Physique: "Heavenly Remnant Body," "Nine Nether Divine Phoenix Body"]
[Talents: "Not ant to Perish," "Unwarranted Qi Creation," "Tongue Desire," "Heart-Burning," "Divine Court Hundred Soldiers"]
"The cultivation level remains at the Peak of Nascent Soul, but the blood bar shows five hundred million... similar to the Fourth-Layer of Divinity Transformation. However, with the 'Heart-Burning,' even against the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, I can still fight. But in the Fetal Movent Realm and Divine Split Realm, a significant part of combat power relies on Dao chanism and spirit."
He then glanced at his Dao pathways.
[Dao Pathway: Five Elents Earth Phenonon Dao (Innate)]
[Dao chanism Comprehension One: "Fire" (Comprehensible)]
[Dao Pathway: Path of All Things Decay (Innate)]
[Dao chanism Comprehension One: "Body Destruction" (Comprehensible)]
[Dao chanism Comprehension Two: "Corruption" (Comprehensible)]
[Dao Pathway: Circulation Dao (Innate)]
[Inadequate Comprehension]
[Dao Pathway: Path of All Things Law (Acquired)]
[Already Comprehended]
"The Circulation Dao... I derived it from stargazing at high altitudes, but there's too little comprehension, no feeling at all."
Fan Wubing focused more of his attention on the "Path of All Things Law."
This was a complete acquired Dao.
The Dao inheritance ca from "Rain Dragon River Echo."
Essentially, "Rain Dragon River Echo" is not rely a piece of music. It is a rhythm of life. Imagine, the predecessor who created this acquired Dao must have been an extraordinary person, observing the Rain Dragon crossing waterfalls, glimpsing the essence of life in the midst.
Although Fan Wubing has obtained the Dao inheritance of "Path of All Things Law," as his cultivation level is rely the Peak of Nascent Soul, he cannot fully unleash the abilities of this acquired Dao, only capable of playing "Rain Dragon River Echo."
However, for now, that's enough.
"Rain Dragon River Echo" does not possess destructive power, but it allows Fan Wubing to enter a state akin to having no distractions. This is not the simplistic calmness and composure of the "Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique," but a more profound state concerning the Dao.
In such a state, Fan Wubing can feel the rhythm of things more clearly. From the Rain Dragon of fantasy to a single insect or blade of grass...
He is not very clear on how it manifests in battle.
Thinking too much now is just empty talk; only imrsed in battle can he understand how it would truly play out.
...
For several days, Lv Liang was nowhere to be seen.
Fan Wubing couldn't help but wonder if he might have perished in the recent chaos caused by the Demon Cultivators. Even if not dead, perhaps he encountered so difficulties. Fan Wubing thought, with Lv Liang's personality, if he was all right, he would surely return. Even if he left, he would at least say goodbye.
But maybe, that's just the Cultivation Realm.
Everyone walks on their own unique immortal path.
Fan Wubing decided not to overthink it.
Under the vast machinery of the Great Li dynasty, Buxu City quickly returned to its original state, with no trace of destruction visible. Those who died in the chaos were indeed gone. But for the Great Li, it's nothing significant, as many are eager to co to Buxu City to fill the gaps.
Soone's exit ans soone else's entry. After all, opportunities don't disappear, they're just there.
It snowed again.
"What about you? What are your plans next?" Fan Wubing asked Fu Manman.
Fu Manman thought for a mont, then looking at Xianchan, said, "I plan to take Xianchan to explore other cities. Hmm... Ye Wuyue wrote to again, inviting to Celestial Balance Upper City."
