Chapter 639: Chapter 253: Brave An An
The powerful mobility of the "Seven Luminaries Celestial Patrol Skill" brought considerable convenience to Fan Wubing.
Whether for the Fallen Immortal Land or to explore the fate traces related to the Seven Luminaries, he was constantly traveling across the world. Indeed, his formidable cultivation and resilient body allowed him to travel at a speed so fast he could cover twenty million miles a day,
but this was still far from the speed of light.
Transforming into the eternal light of the sun, traveling at light speed to any place in the world that light could reach.
Although the "Celestial Patrol Skill" is very powerful, it also raised a doubt in Fan Wubing’s heart.
According to his calculations, not to mention achieving light speed with the physical body, but even getting close to it would be impossible even if one filled the "Master of All Beings, Bone of Ages" to one hundred percent. However, this level of life intensity could already nurture an entire Great Wilderness Era.
How exactly does the "Celestial Patrol Skill" accomplish this?
Transforming into the eternal light of the sun... how is this process realized?
Fan Wubing tried to understand, but even though he comprehended the "Celestial Patrol Skill," he could not decipher its essence, as if there was a very thin but extraordinarily strong cognitive barrier. Unable to break through this barrier, he could not comprehend how the "Seven Luminaries Celestial Patrol Skill" was created.
On the way back to the Immortal Continent, Fan Wubing continuously pondered this question.
He roughly understood that the so-called Seven Luminaries should be the sun, moon, and the five elements, symbolizing the universe and the stars, or representing all things. If this were the case, the title of Seven Luminaries True Monarch was indeed significant.
"Could it be understood this way?" Fan Wubing pondered deeply, "The Celestial Patrol Skill corresponds to the Sun Luminary, the Rain Control Skill corresponds to the Water Luminary, the Thunder Control Skill corresponds to the Wood Luminary... If possible, there would be the Moon, Metal, Fire, and Earth Luminaries as well."
With this thought, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, a sensation similar to a breakthrough in realm, emanating from him.
An An, who was carving wood sculptures beside him, looked up and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"I just figured something out."
"What, what?" An An’s eyes were sparkling with curiosity.
"An An, even the best buddies should maintain a sense of boundaries."
"Alright then." An An didn’t pursue further and focused on working on her wood carving.
Fan Wubing operated the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device to explore the next fate trace related to the Seven Luminaries.
Simultaneously he operated the Rain Control, Thunder Control, and Celestial Patrol Skills, with the will of the Seven Luminaries swirling in the windmill-like structure of the Orbiting Device, resembling entangled spider webs. Fate is chaotic and cluttered, and the Orbiting Device aims to find a visible direction amidst this chaos. However, no matter how powerful the Orbiting Device is, it can only focus on determined fate traces and cannot probe into the future path of fate.
After rotating one hundred and eighty-eight times, the Orbiting Device slowly stopped, pointing east.
Meanwhile, some images appeared in Fan Wubing’s mind.
Vast fields segmenting the land, neatly aligned farmland, crisscrossing canals, and robust spirit plant immortal stalks...
"East Continent..."
Some radiance flashed in Fan Wubing’s eyes.
The Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device pointed to the East Continent.
He looked towards the east, where the sky above the Far East was swirling with layered clouds, full of vitality.
...
Just upon returning to the manor in Changning City, An An briefly greeted Jiang Sha and Liu Qingqing, and then rushed into her room, not knowing what she was up to.
In the lakeside pavilion where the evening breeze gently blew, Jiang Sha was peeling white pith from orange segments while asking,
"How was it? Did you have fun?"
Fan Wubing was not shy at all; for every orange Jiang Sha peeled, he ate one,
"She enjoyed herself. I somewhat underestimated her, you know? She actually managed to climb the ninety-thousand-mile spiral celestial tier by herself." Talking about An An’s achievement, his eyes sparkled, "She’s really foolish but brave."
Jiang Sha said, "Not bad. And you, are you happy?"
"Me, uh..." Fan Wubing leaned back slightly, "I’m alright. Originally, I thought I wouldn’t go without some squabble with An An on the road, but I didn’t expect how much she changed, there was even a touch of well-behaved vibe. Talking with her used to be irritating, but now it’s a lot better."
Jiang Sha smiled without saying a word.
"What are you smiling at?" Fan Wubing glanced to ask.
"Does it matter if I laugh?" Jiang Sha softly replied, "You really are being assertive; no wonder Qingqing said you’ve become like the man of this house."
Fan Wubing paused, "Stop joking, I’m being very courteous, alright."
Jiang Sha finished peeling a slice of orange, "Open your mouth."
Fan Wubing laid back on the chair and opened his mouth.
Jiang Sha tossed the orange in.
Fan Wubing cheerfully munched on it.
Jiang Sha asked, "Did An An ever tell you about her past?"
Fan Wubing shook his head, "No. I only know her childhood wasn’t happy, but I haven’t asked for specifics. If you know, just tell me directly."
Jiang Sha said, "Go ask her yourself."
"I feel like, even if I ask, she wouldn’t tell." Fan Wubing thought for a moment, "An An has her own secrets too. By the way, I can’t deduce her fate. Is it you who’s shielding it?"
Jiang Sha shook his head, "No, her fate is naturally ambiguous."
"Why is that?"
"That’s something you need to explore."
Fan Wubing said helplessly, "Why can’t you just tell me directly."
Jiang Sha chuckled, "Consider this your homework."
"You really want to be my teacher, huh?" Fan Wubing teased.
Jiang Sha asked, "Don’t you think I am your teacher?"
Fan Wubing was unable to refute.
That was the truth.
Ever since waking up, he had been receiving "guidance" from Jiang Sha. So much so that unknowingly, Fan Wubing got accustomed to consulting Jiang Sha whenever he encountered problems. But she didn’t always speak directly about everything, usually choosing to give subtle hints so he could understand on his own.
