Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 301 - 152: A Supreme Expert Is Right Beside Me! (Part 3)

Chapter 301: Chapter 152: A Supreme Expert Is Right Beside Me! (Part 3)

He somewhat knew that Ye Yixian wanted to win him over, but there must be some sincerity, right? At the very least, they should help resolve the matter of killing the two Abyss Prison Guards, right? He thought, "It can’t always be others testing me; I must also test others..."

To become a figure who can stand alone, this is an essential path.

"What about Lord Rou?" Qingxuan asked again, "How will Lord Rou plan next? Will he stay at Queyu Mountain to cultivate, or..." He felt that Lord Rou was more like the Mountain God of Queyu Mountain. So if Lord Rou wanted to be the Mountain God, he would unhesitatingly report to the Divine Dao Branch and then step aside.

Lord Rou’s voice was gentle, "I’ll just stay here at Queyu Mountain and restart my cultivation."

"Restart cultivation? Why?" Qingxuan was stunned.

Lord Rou smiled without saying a word.

Soon after, his only remaining core tumor slowly melted away, leaving only a wisp of mountain spirit energy, which swept into the woods and completely disappeared.

Qingxuan stared blankly in the direction where Lord Rou disappeared, then slowly sat down, looking forlorn, "This is... why?"

Fan Wubing said, "In fact, he had already reached his limit. Bearing the illnesses of Sickness City’s people is not as easy as he said. He had long been riddled with holes from years of erosion, and his Tai Sui body was completely exhausted tonight." He frowned slightly and sighed.

"So that’s how it is..." Qingxuan suddenly laughed, and his laughter echoed through the mountains.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I think there is no need to lament for Lord Rou. Protecting a region has always been his greatest wish, and being able to achieve himself within this wish should be considered a gain."

"Achieve himself?" Fan Wubing, not as knowledgeable as Qingxuan about the Divine Dao, humbly sought advice.

Qingxuan said, "Lord Rou once obtained a great fortune, cultivating the Tai Sui body. In the mortal world, sixty years pass, but Tai Sui reincarnates several times. To achieve the Tai Sui body, one must experience mortal tribulations, reincarnating through them. Lord Rou, he has reincarnated. In less than three hundred years, he can become a Tai Sui God and join the rank of True Gods."

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessings may hide danger."

Qingxuan said with a smile, "However, I still admire Lord Rou. If you, Lord Envoy, hadn’t appeared, he might have really died. So, I think, since he decided to nourish himself with illness back then, he probably prepared for death, after all, he wouldn’t know that Lord Envoy would come here in three hundred years."

Fan Wubing’s eyes were bright. He seemed to better understand what the "rule" in the Acquired Dao’s "Law of All Things" in "Raindragon’s Heavenly River Sound" meant.

"Lord Envoy, what do you plan to do next?" Qingxuan asked.

Fan Wubing turned and walked down the mountain, "Go down the mountain."

"I will escort the Lord Envoy part of the way."

On the rugged mountain path, Fan Wubing gazed into the vast sky.

The rain stopped, the wind calmed, and the dawn fell into the lively and thriving forest, casting gentle beams of light through the leaves.

He thought, descending this mountain is also a journey of the restless heart.

...

The carriage speeding along the official road suddenly came to a stop.

Fu Manman looked suspiciously at Xianchan, "Chan’Er, are you teasing me?"

Xianchan shook her little head like a rattle, her big, shiny black eyes filled with innocence and pity.

"So, there’s nothing wrong again?" Fu Manman couldn’t bear to blame her, holding her little hand tightly, asked nervously.

Xianchan nodded.

"Then what happened before? Suddenly you said he was dead."

Xianchan first drew a series of comic panels, then spread her hands. Fu Manman looked at the content; it was saying that the situation was very complicated, and she couldn’t explain it, but once they saw Fan Wubing, they would understand.

Fu Manman knew that Xianchan loved Fan Wubing the most and would never joke about his life and death. So, Fan Wubing must have encountered a life-and-death crisis, but it seemed he got through it safely.

No danger in the end.

Even so, Fu Manman still felt uncomfortable inside. The sudden panic from before made her so sad as if she lost the entire world. The intense emotional response lingered heavily.

Her concern and longing for Fan Wubing reached its peak, and she really wanted to see him immediately. It would ease her heart to see him safe and sound, healthy and whole.

Fu Manman couldn’t help but think, "What exactly is he doing... Should I get more involved in the future?" She pursed her lips, feeling a bit agitated, wanting to get closer to Fan Wubing and understand him more.

Xianchan finally felt at ease, and fell asleep right away on Fu Manman’s lap.

Fu Manman twirled the locks of the little cat’s hair in her arms and sighed.

Then she seemed to remember something, quickly stuck her head out and said softly, "Let’s change the route to Celestial Balance Upper City."

The coachman was originally puzzled, wondering why the guest always changed the route suddenly, but hearing the gentle voice, as if caressed by a March spring breeze, felt refreshed, "Alright!"

...

He Youyi, worried all night, finally released his frown with the first light of day, his mouth warmed with a slight smile, shoulders relaxing, showing a hint of joy.

"Did an old acquaintance turn peril into safety?" A young woman as gentle as jade asked.

He Youyi smiled, "I guess my emotions are worn on my sleeve."

"This shows Mr. He is a person of flesh and blood," the young woman said.

"Back to the matter at hand."

The young woman seriously said, "The Saints of Wenxin Heaven have deduced unanimously that the dormant Fallen Immortal Land of the Eternal Night Snow Mountain will awaken within five to ten years. They hope Wild Horse Academy can prepare in advance to avoid significant harm."

"Isn’t this a bit early?" He Youyi frowned.

The young woman nodded, "It’s not just the Fallen Immortal Land of Eternal Night Snow Mountain awakening early. East Continent’s Xuantian Valley, Daluo Continent Shuini Mountain, Immortal Continent Qixia Lake, Old Dragon Mountain, Taiyin Continent Heart Sea, Sword Continent’s Seven Mountains, and Chuirizhou..." She listed more than a dozen place names.

"All awakening early?"

"Of the twenty-one Fallen Immortal Lands, besides the eight already awakened, the awakening dates of the remaining thirteen have all moved up."

"When was this noticed?"

"More than two years ago."

"Is there a reason?"

The young woman thought for a moment, "The Saints dare not be certain. But I heard it might be related to ’demons’."

"Demons? Real ’demons’?" He Youyi’s gaze grew deep.

Nowadays, when people mention ’demons,’ they usually refer to Demon Cultivators. And for what real ’demons’ are, it has long been forgotten. Demon Cultivators are mortals who cultivate in the manner of demons.

The young woman’s eyes were like stars, "Yes. The demons have returned."
