Chapter 624: Chapter 245: Emperor Shangjing (Part 3)

"It’s not her, there is someone else. You don’t need to worry about this matter, just look after Qixia Lake. Since he can hide both his aura and destiny under a double identity, he must avoid exposure. If he wants to sneak into Qixia Lake, he will inevitably face me directly. But, does he have the guts?"

"Your Majesty is mighty."

...

Fan Wubing controlled his Dharma Celestial Dragon to consume Grand Admiral Ce Xian’s Dharma Celestial Tiger, not to provoke or insult the opponent.

It wasn’t his habit.

The main purpose was to use the "tongue’s desire" to assimilate this Dharma Divine Technique—

[Hengkong Mountain Monarch Celestial Derivation Technique]

[Grade: Mid-tier Immortal]

[Type: Dharma Divine Technique]

"Mid-tier Immortal Dharma Divine Technique... quite nice, I’ll take it back and give it to my old man, it should make him overjoyed."

Dharma Divine Techniques are extremely rare, especially mid-tier Immortal ones. Many Tribulation Immortals may never encounter one in their lifetime.

Consuming the Dharma Celestial Tiger added over a thousand jing of blood to him, but that was just a bonus, insignificant really.

This trip wasn’t very smooth.

One couldn’t even enter Old Dragon Mountain, and as soon as he got into Qixia Lake, he was immediately discovered.

This was like the difference between hell-level difficulty and simple difficulty in Southern Celestial Land.

Spent ten days to half a month, and almost got discovered. If it weren’t for the Dharma Divine Technique he got in the end, Fan Wubing would have been terribly upset.

Back in Changning City, the first person he sought out was Jiang Sha.

The latter was sitting quietly in the courtyard reading a book, another work of Jade Ancestor. Fan Wubing noticed that she either didn’t read or only read Jade Ancestor’s books, perhaps she particularly admired this former titan of the Literary Dao.

"You’re back." Seeing Fan Wubing land in the courtyard, Jiang Sha put down her book and smiled.

Fan Wubing slumped into the wicker chair next to her and sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Sha asked.

Fan Wubing recounted his experiences in detail.

After listening, Jiang Sha said, "So, you want to know why the Immortal Emperor discovered you?"

"Yeah, I don’t quite get it. I clearly obscured my fate traces, even White Jade Capital couldn’t find me, so how could he?"

Jiang Sha chuckled, "Because the Immortal Emperor mastered the Circulation Dao. He initially comprehended the Circulation Dao at Qixia Lake, so saying Qixia Lake is his place of Dao validation isn’t an exaggeration. You, an outsider, entered someone else’s Dao arena, how could they not know? Outside, he absolutely couldn’t find you over the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, but within Qixia Lake, the moment you set foot, he could immediately perceive your presence."

She teased, "Lucky you escaped quickly, otherwise he could have dug out both your identity as Fan Wubing and the Blood Demon Lord."

With that, she gestured, "Come over."

Fan Wubing got up and walked over to her.

She reached out and pinched his nose lightly.

Fan Wubing stepped back, covering his nose, displeased, "What are you doing, don’t treat me like a child."

"Look." Between Jiang Sha’s fingers was a wisp of glowing mist.

Fan Wubing paused, "This... is the mist of Qixia Lake?"

"It’s also the Power of Circulation." Jiang Sha rubbed her fingers, crushing the mist, "This was left on you by the Immortal Emperor. Although he can’t find you over the Orbiting Device, if one day you meet him, he can immediately know through this wisp of the Power of Circulation that you were the one who attempted to sneak into Qixia Lake."

Fan Wubing furrowed his brow, "I didn’t notice at all?"

"That’s his brilliance," Jiang Sha raised her head, "You often focus on what’s beneath you, maybe it’s been a long time since you lifted your head to gaze at the starry sky. The Power of Circulation scattered by the stars pervades everywhere. And the Immortal Emperor, he can control every wisp of the Power of Circulation across the world."

Fan Wubing took a deep breath, "Is he really that strong..."

Jiang Sha laughed, "Why else do you think he’s the Immortal Emperor?"

Fan Wubing’s gaze lowered, his expression heavy.

"What’s the matter?" Jiang Sha asked with concern.

Fan Wubing said with determination, "As a fellow master of the Circulation Dao, how can I be weaker than others? Don’t you agree?"

Jiang Sha said, "No one can do everything perfectly. You don’t need to pressure yourself."

"But if my comprehension of the Circulation Dao isn’t as good as his, entering Qixia Lake would be nothing but a delusion."

Jiang Sha pondered for a moment, then smiled, "If you’re going to research the Circulation Dao, I can recommend a place."

"What place?"

"Chuirizhou Continent. It’s the place closest to the starry sky in the whole world."

Fan Wubing’s heart stirred slightly.

He hadn’t forgotten, previously, when using the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device to seek the fate trajectory concerning the Seven Luminaries Thunder Control Skill’s heavenly thunder, 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The pointer of fate also pointed to Chuirizhou Continent.

Jiang Sha observed Fan Wubing’s expression, a subtle gleam flickering in the depths of her pupils.
