Chapter 569: Chapter 232: Battle with the Terminal Daoist, Obtaining the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device (Ten Thousand Words) (Part 2)

In that case, it would involve destiny, wouldn’t it?

Fan Wubing couldn’t help but think, "Did the Seven Luminaries True Monarch create the All Things Law Dao to explore the word ’destiny’?" He recalled the words of the Thunder Giant in its final moments about breaking free from fate. He thought it was very likely the case.

He once had a dream about the Seven Luminaries True Monarch.

In the dream, the Seven Luminaries True Monarch said to him, "In my name, act in my stead."

The Thunder Giant also asked him, "Do you want to be the second Seven Luminaries True Monarch or the first Fan Wubing?"

He did not answer.

Now thinking back on these, Fan Wubing felt a bit clearer in his heart.

It’s like people always say, history is a cycle. And now, he also finds himself in such a cycle.

But thinking about these things now is merely peering at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Only one day, when he truly leaves the "well," can he see the true "sky."

Fan Wubing slightly sighed,

He did not avoid his current feelings.

"Fear," "Confusion."

He didn’t know how to walk the road of the future, he could only take it one step at a time. This is confusion.

He feared that everything he was doing now was merely repeating past mistakes. Even though he did not even know what he was facing, the thought of such a situation possibly occurring made him afraid.

"Living in this world, there must be something to hope for..."

As a descendant from Ancient China, he was not afraid of hardship, what he feared was enduring hardship without gain.

He took a deep breath, silently encouraged himself, and then got up to leave.

About the Rain Dragon Waterfall, he had looked at it inside and out, and there were actually no secrets or treasures, just a magnificent, dao-imbued natural landscape. Perhaps the Seven Luminaries True Monarch saw a rain dragon passing through a waterfall like the Milky Way here and composed "The Sound of Rain Dragon in the Heavenly River," but that was more than twenty thousand years ago.

Now, that silvery rain dragon had long left this place, no one knows where it went.

Even though Fan Wubing’s soul was strong, he could not see past the enormous 20,000-year time barrier to trace the rain dragon’s path.

Of course, this trip was not without gains; at least he further enhanced his understanding and insight of the All Things Law Dao.

"Feel the laws of all things—"

Fan Wubing was thinking, and he immediately sensed a strange rhythm. It was an existence extending from within the space, like roots drawing nutrition, penetrating little by little into the operating traces of the surrounding things, continually moving forward along these traces.

Fan Wubing quickly realized that it was penetrating the traces he left!

These were not traces of aura, nor traces of the soul and dao, but traces that inevitably existed as "Fan Wubing" in this world, which are change, destiny, movement!

These were tiny lines of ink!

Fan Wubing suddenly realized that someone was tracking him! Moreover, this tracking method was extremely powerful and mysterious, and he couldn’t evade it. If it were ordinary aura tracking, soul tracking, or dao tracking, he could easily obscure or erase it. But this ink line tracking was transcendent!

His steps steadied, and he activated Dragon Walk, stepping forward fiercely, wanting to escape this place.

Dragon Walk was indeed activated, but he himself... remained in the same place, not shifting by a fraction!

What was going on?

Fan Wubing was sure he had activated Dragon Walk, and his internal cultivation was consumed, but he had not moved an inch.

A clear and bright voice called out, "Friend, please stay."

Fan Wubing followed the voice and saw a Mei Rangong Daoist walking lightly from afar. Behind him was a flower-aged, celestial-boned daoist. He knew this was the Palace Master of Diezhi Palace, Celestial Venerable Nanshuo, and he also knew that with Celestial Venerable Nanshuo’s skill, it was impossible to keep him.

Therefore, it could only be this Mei Rangong Daoist who kept him in place.

"This humble one is Yu Chen, fortunate to be favored by the great dao, barely earning the title of Celestial Venerable," the Celestial Venerable Yu Chen said with a smile to Fan Wubing, "If the title is too much, you can simply call me Yu Chen."

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, the Little Leisurely Official of White Jade Capital.

This was common knowledge that Fan Wubing knew.

Once he confirmed the identity of the other party, he knew what method had just kept him from moving.

This Celestial Venerable Yu Chen was the Terminal Daoist of the Four Directions Dao.

The Four Directions Dao, involving space, mastering spatial positions. It seemed, the spatial position of this area had been controlled by Celestial Venerable Yu Chen. Fan Wubing spread his soul, tried to discern the place, and then found that the directions he figured out never matched the actual orientation. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This meant that no matter what, he could not leave this space.

Unless he could directly cross the void. However, that would require mastery of the Cosmic Dao.

Fan Wubing was not anxious and first wanted to see what purpose this Little Leisurely Official had; he cupped his hand and gave a simple dao salute,

"I am Li Qiu, pleased to meet Celestial Venerable Yu Chen."

Yu Chen chuckled, "Though I don’t know who you really are, you are certainly not named Li Qiu."

Fan Wubing’s expression didn’t change, not truly believing he was seen through, guessing maybe the other was intentionally trying to deceive.

He replied with a smile, "With Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s high status and authority, it makes sense if you haven’t heard my name."

Yu Chen, still intrigued, said, "You don’t need to quibble with me over such meaningless matters. Although I can’t figure out how you’ve concealed your life pattern, since you’ve chosen to do so, naturally you have unspeakable secrets." He shrugged, "This isn’t anything novel."
