Chapter 275: Chapter 144: Divine Techniques of Manifestation, Fulong Wenda (2)

"Have you decided?"

"I’ve come to terms with reality and won’t cling to it anymore."

Looking at Ye Wuyue’s expression, filled with regret yet relief, Fu Manman didn’t know what to say, but didn’t want the atmosphere to turn awkward, so she chose a comforting line, "I believe, you will also be the True Destiny Celestial Maiden for someone else!"

Ye Wuyue chuckled lightly, "You’re so kind."

Unexpectedly, Xianchan tugged Fu Manman and then dashed off in a certain direction.

"Hey, Chan’Er, wait!"

Fu Manman hurriedly chased after her.

Ye Wuyue followed behind, in high spirits, with a spring in his step.

...

Fan Wubing slowly opened his eyes, finding the surroundings quite familiar.

Three Flavors Blacksmith Shop.

He sat up as Chengming’s voice immediately sounded beside him, "You’re awake."

Chengming was beside him stoking the fire.

Everything was so normal, too normal, leaving Fan Wubing puzzled. Could last night have been just a dream?

He asked in confusion, "Master Cheng, we didn’t drink last night, did we?"

"No."

"Then why... such a strange feeling."

The fire was blazing, and Chengming looked up smiling at him, "Do you think last night was a dream?"

"It felt that way."

"Fan, oh Fan." Chengming clicked his tongue in wonder, "I really didn’t expect you could strike the twelfth tone of the Dragon-Soothing Sound with just a Nascent Soul body."

"I really did strike it?"

"What else?"

"But it felt so unreal." Fan Wubing rubbed his brow.

Chengming said, "Very normal. Last night, you were ’intoxicated by the Dao.’"

"What’s that?"

"Intoxicated by the Dao. You’re merely at the Nascent Soul Realm and couldn’t withstand prolonged states of Dao perception, so you became intoxicated by it."

"Is that a thing?"

"No, I made it up."

"Huh?"

Chengming laughed heartily, "Something like that. You’re nowhere near comprehending the Dao, yet could use it, combined with your weak spirit, making it hard to endure, leaving you in a trance. Don’t worry, rest for a while, and you’ll be fine."

"I see. So... did I finish striking the Dragon-Soothing Sound?"

"Yes, you finished. Moreover, Fan, there’s something incredible."

"What?"

Chengming said, "You awakened the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell, paving the way for the Great Li Imperial Dynasty." His eyes shone brightly.

Fan Wubing swallowed, "Me? Wasn’t it you, Master Cheng?"

Chengming chuckled, "Kid, the Dragon-Soothing Sound’s twelve tones, the final one is key. Compared to you, I’m at best a supporting role."

"Will this... have any impact?"

"It will, and a huge one. The Imperial Dynasty path opened too suddenly. While the Great Li people are overjoyed, the Li Palace wasn’t prepared at all. Now, it seems the entire Li Palace is in chaos."

"This... sounds like it has nothing to do with me." Fan Wubing smiled awkwardly.

"How could it be unrelated? You’re the one who awakened the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell, meaning that until the Imperial Dynasty path ends, only you in the whole of Great Li can communicate with the bell. Your situation is quite unique."

"How unique?"

Chengming said, "On one hand, by force-opening the Imperial Dynasty path, you’ve gone against the will of the Li Palace. The battle faction led by Ye Chuxuan, will detest you. While Ye Yixian, the Crown Prince’s peace faction, is slightly inclined towards you."

"A Holy Emperor, a Crown Prince... that sounds like a big disparity, doesn’t it? The Emperor is the biggest."

Chengming laughed, "Actually not. Fan, if you imagine Great Li as Ye Chuxuan’s one-man show, you’d be sorely mistaken. Any large country could never be just one person’s domain. If it’s an ordinary mortal country, or one where cultivators aren’t deeply involved, maybe it’s the monarch’s stage alone. But the Great Li is a step away from becoming the Imperial Dynasty of Li! Holding numerous cultivation resources, naturally, many cultivators are involved."

He paused a bit, stretched lazily, "The thousands of years of Great Li’s history were built by ordinary people and many cultivators, so how could the cultivation fruits be enjoyed by the royal family alone? Interests entwined inevitably lead to faction fights and political struggle. Personally, I don’t like these things; if you’re interested, you can listen to the Crown Prince explain it to you in detail."

Fan Wubing gave a dry laugh, "Forget it, I’m not a Great Li person, I won’t get involved."

"Humph, saying this was fine before, but now, you’ve been swept into this whirlpool."

"This..."

"However, Fan, rest assured for now. Because as of now except for me and the Crown Prince, no one else knows who awakened the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell. Your identity is currently secret."

"Ye Yixian also knows?"

Chengming said, "He guessed it. He came to see you not long ago, and knowing you were safe, he hurried back."

"He shouldn’t spread the word, right?"

"He won’t." Chengming’s gaze was deep, "He’s a wise person and surely knows revealing your identity would only harm his faction with no benefit. But Fan, you yourself need to be careful, don’t get drunk one day and brag about it and spill the beans."

"How could that happen." Fan Wubing raised an eyebrow.

Chengming patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry. I can still protect you for now."

"Oh, right, Master Cheng, how are you doing? You seemed quite seriously injured before."

Chengming let out a hearty laugh, "I guess I benefited from disaster. After you awakened the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell, I received its blessing. I not only mended my Martial God’s body but also broke the shackles of the Dao. Now, I’m even stronger than during my peak times."

"I see, congratulations on returning to your peak, Master Cheng." Fan Wubing said with a smile.

"You should congratulate yourself first. You’re the biggest beneficiary."
