Chapter 570: Chapter 232: Battle with the Terminal Daoist, Obtaining the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device (Ten Thousand Words) (Part 3)

Fan Wubing wasn’t too surprised.

The Little Leisurely Official of the White Jade Capital being able to probe into others’ destinies was quite normal.

"Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, you’re joking." Fan Wubing neither confirmed nor denied it.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen began to walk leisurely. "The Rain Dragon Continent is a treasure land, rich in resources. In ancient times, it produced quite a few True Immortals. But after the collapse of the Ascension Platform, a bolt of heavenly thunder struck a sea region near the Rain Dragon Continent, creating a sea of thunder, which significantly isolated it from other regions. Ever since, the Rain Dragon Continent has declined. So, taking away that bolt of heavenly thunder has truly benefited the entire Rain Dragon Continent; it’s a contribution worthy of a monument."

Fan Wubing said calmly, "Celestial Venerable Yu Chen might have found the wrong person. How could I possess such ability?"

He decided that, no matter what the other party said, he would deny it till the end.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen shook his head. "You’re truly uninteresting. I thought you’d be an interesting person, but you’re nothing but a boring jar."

"Whether I’m a boring jar depends on the purpose for which Celestial Venerable Yu Chen came looking for me," Fan Wubing said, looking at him as if seeing nothing. "After all, no one would have a good impression of someone who controls them without a word right from the start."

"Wasn’t it because I was afraid you wouldn’t be willing to chat with me properly?"

Fan Wubing asked, "What does Celestial Venerable Yu Chen want to talk to me about?"

"If you truly knew what that bolt of heavenly thunder represented, you wouldn’t ask this question."

Fan Wubing teased, "Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, is there a need to keep it a mystery? I’m foolish, so it’s better to make things plain and simple."

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen sighed. "Well, it’s my bad luck to run into someone who doesn’t get it. You can take that bolt of heavenly thunder for your own use."

Fan Wubing thought, what scheme is being played here?

He couldn’t believe that Celestial Venerable Yu Chen had come all this way just to say, "Take it for your own use."

Could it be that the White Jade Capital actually knows the secret of that bolt of heavenly thunder?

What weighed heavily on him was the realization that he had been discovered by the White Jade Capital. Although Jiang Sha helped to obscure his destiny, making it impossible for outsiders to probe his true identity, it didn’t mean he no longer existed. Now discovered, there’s no guarantee he won’t be surveilled by the White Jade Capital in the future.

He thought, "If this Little Leisurely Official could find me once even when I deliberately restrained my aura, he could find me a second time. If they truly have marked me, my future plans can no longer proceed. I must find a way to shake him off."

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Yu Chen carries an innate treasure called the ’Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device.’ The Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device is the second closest to the Destiny Dao among the thirty-three innate treasures, capable of tracking the destiny trajectories of things to a certain extent. To shake him off, you must seize this treasure."

This voice was Jiang Sha!

Fan Wubing was shocked, "Weren’t you supposed to wake up in three days?"

"I sensed someone probing your destiny, so I awoke early."

Fan Wubing seemed to see Jiang Sha with a calm face, gently raising the corners of her mouth while speaking these words.

"How do you know what I’m thinking?"

"I guessed. Do you hate it? If you do, I won’t guess next time."

Fan Wubing said nothing. Jiang Sha’s abilities were like a bottomless pit. Whenever he thought he was close to the bottom, she would again display abilities that shocked him. To connect directly with his mind from such a vast distance, without seeking his consent, was something he couldn’t do. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"How should I proceed?" he asked.

Jiang Sha replied, "Distract his attention, stall him for a while, and leave the rest to me."

"Alright."

It’s the perfect time to test the stamina of the Terminal Daoist.

Fan Wubing looked up at Celestial Venerable Yu Chen.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen sensed his gaze, raised an eyebrow slightly, and smiled, "What, are you ready to admit that you took that bolt of heavenly thunder? Ah, if you said it earlier, there wouldn’t be so many issues. There are countless treasures under the sky; whoever gets one, it’s theirs. I won’t compete with you; I just want to understand what happened, so I can report back to the White Jade Capital."

Not a single word of this could be trusted.

Fan Wubing couldn’t figure out the intentions of the White Jade Capital, but he knew he absolutely couldn’t let them mark him.

He laughed, "Indeed, it was my dullness not to understand Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s kindness. Since the misunderstanding is cleared up, I have a matter to discuss."

However, from these words, Celestial Venerable Yu Chen tasted a different flavor. When one’s attitude suddenly shifts, either they’ve suddenly figured something out or their inner scheming has changed. He found a renewed sense of interest in his eyes, "What’s the matter?"

Fan Wubing courteously smiled, "I have long admired Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s great name and have always wanted to spar with the Venerable. I hope the Venerable would grant me this opportunity."

Yu Chen amusedly replied, "What if I refuse?"

"Then don’t blame me for being discourteous!" Fan Wubing seemed like an embarrassed and enraged person, suddenly thrusting a punch towards Yu Chen.

Aura roared, space trembled.

But the punch was wildly off-target, extremely so.

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Fellow Daoist, this is not quite right."

Fan Wubing sneered, "Who is a fellow Daoist with you?"

Yu Chen shook his head, "I thought you were just overly cautious, not willing to admit it. Being careful is a good trait for roaming the Jianghu. But now it seems you’re just opportunistic, putting on an act."

Fan Wubing coldly snorted, "Hypocrite. Do you think I’m unaware of your schemes? Saying that the bolt of heavenly thunder is taken as if it were resolved; in reality, it’s simply because you don’t know who I am, playing a game of catch and release. Rather than waiting for death, it’s better to fight desperately!"
