Chuirizhou Continent, among the Nineteen Continents of the World, is the place "closest" to the sun at sunset.
However, this "closest" does not refer to spatial distance, but to perception. It feels as if one is very close to the sun, so the setting sun appears exceptionally large. Every sunset, Chuirizhou Continent witnesses the magnificent sight of a giant red sun hanging on the horizon.
Fan Wubing thought for a mont and decided not to head to Chuirizhou Continent imdiately to investigate the matter related to that celestial lightning.
Having just stolen the Supre Dharma Orbiting Device from White Jade Capital, they must be desperate to find him. The Supre Dharma Orbiting Device must be extrely important to White Jade Capital, and they might go to any lengths.
Fan Wubing wasn’t ready, nor did he want to confront the entire Daoist School. So, it was best to lay low for the ti being.
During this period, it would be wise to develop the Fallen Immortal Land and strive to establish the Immortal Cultivation Factory throughout the world as soon as possible.
After bidding farewell to Gu Lan, he left the Grotto Heaven.
"Taiping Continent, Divine Wood Continent, and Rain Dragon Continent have all been developed. Among the seven continents of the Celestial South, only Yong Continent, Xue Continent, Chaotian Continent, and Yunzhou are left. I might as well take this ti to finish them all at once. It would save from running back and forth when I head to the Immortal Continent later."
The distance between the seven continents of Celestial South and the Twelve Northern Continents is quite far apart.
Even at his speed, most of his ti would be spent on the journey.
Having made up his mind, Fan Wubing began to plan his route in his mind.
Considering the distribution of the remaining four continents, starting with Yunzhou, then Yong Continent, followed by Chaotian Continent, and finally ending with Xue Continent, is the most convenient and efficient way.
...
Chuanshan Plain, central Taiping Continent, Phoenix Jade City.
Fu Manman concealed her aura as she walked down the street. Phoenix Jade City wasn’t a large city; most of its inhabitants were ordinary people, and the mixed auras made it difficult for her to determine the whereabouts of the aura she was tracking.
Half a day ago, after she and Gu Lan finished handling matters at the Divine Wood Continent Celestial Cauldron Sect, they returned to Taiping Continent. While flying over Chuanshan Plain, she inadvertently glanced down and vaguely saw an acquaintance, but she wasn’t quite sure. She then asked Gu Lan to return first while she searched alone.
That acquaintance was Lv Liang, whom she t in Great Li Buxu City.
At the sa ti, he was also the Demon Cultivator Lv Liang who embarked on the Path of the Demon Lord.
Fu Manman felt a sense of lant when she thought about Lv Liang being a Demon Cultivator. She always felt Lv Liang was a rather nice person, though perhaps he had so issues with distinguishing numbers, but he was very friendly and kind. So, she wanted to find out what exactly Lv Liang had been through. When he suddenly disappeared back then, she once thought he perished in the disaster that befell Buxu City that night, which saddened her.
But now it seed, things weren’t as simple as she imagined.
Fu Manman walked unhurriedly along the streets, feeling the auras within her range, carefully distinguishing which one belonged to Lv Liang.
But no matter how she distinguished, half a day passed without finding a single trace.
"Could I have been mistaken? Or is he extrely adept at hiding himself?"
Fu Manman hesitated for a while longer, but still found no result, sighed, and decided to leave the place.
At a nearby street corner, a beggar leaned crookedly against a wall, dozing. His shadow stretched across the street. At the furthest point of the shadow stood a long-haired man. This man was incredibly handso, even beautiful, with flawless features and a fair, gentle appearance.
However, the passersby couldn’t see him and could even walk right through him.
He resembled a beautiful ghost.
Lv Liang’s eyes were filled with apology, his brow slightly furrowed, as he murmured softly, "Sorry... sorry... I can’t let you see like this. It’s better if soone like doesn’t appear in your lives. It’s fine if you’re in the sun and I’m in the shadow..."
After murmuring like this, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from Fu Manman’s direction. He stopped and looked over, seeing Fan Wubing standing beside Fu Manman.
He liked seeing beautiful people together.
But at this mont, there was not the slightest beauty in his eyes, only coldness.
Fan Wubing’s sudden appearance was a pleasant surprise for Fu Manman.
She asked with a smile, "What are you doing here? Weren’t you going to Rain Dragon Continent?"
Fan Wubing replied, "Just ca back, saw you here on my way, so I ca to find you." He asked, "And you, what are you doing here?"
Fu Manman sighed, "I thought I saw Lv Liang and ca to look for him, but it seems like I was mistaken."
"Are you very troubled by his situation?"
Fu Manman mused for a mont and moved lightly, "Though it’s normal for people to have multiple sides, it’s a bit unsettling to think that the gentle and kind Lv Liang is actually a Demon Cultivator, especially one who embarked on the Path of the Demon Lord. I want to understand what’s really going on. Plus, it’s part of my duty."
Fan Wubing walked beside her, chuckling, "No need to be too troubled, just follow your own pace and move forward step by step."
Fu Manman tilted her head and asked, "Are you... busy?"
"Not busy."
"Then... how about we have our monthly date today?" Fu Manman smiled.
"Sounds good."
"There’s a big market on the next street, let’s go check it out."
"Sure." Fan Wubing asked with a smile, "Shall we hold hands?"
Fu Manman’s eyes lit up, "It really feels like a date." She then offered her left hand.
