Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 768: Chapter 300: A Web of Lies, Calculations Everywhere

Fan Wubing found himself in an even more difficult situation.

Jiang Sha laughed, "Just become a hands-off shopkeeper, why bother with so many issues? With your strength, she can’t break through your Enchanting Demon Dao. Deceive her for a lifetime; after all, she never asked you to marry her. Don’t forget that she is like that. She’s so strong-willed, she can accept things as they are for your sake. What are you still struggling with?"

Fan Wubing shook his head, "No."

"Why?" Jiang Sha was somewhat curious.

"Put yourself in another’s shoes. If you were constantly deceiving me, I’d be heartbroken. To me, it’s better to face a harsh truth than to indulge in a fake happiness."

Jiang Sha’s eye twitched slightly.

Fan Wubing said, "So, once I settle my own matters, I’ll lift the influence of the Enchanting Demon Dao over her. Of course, if she wants me dead, I can’t really die. But as for compensation, I’ll do my best to make it up to her."

"It’s up to you."

Fan Wubing asked, "Don’t you find me hypocritical or pretentious?"

"No," Jiang Sha said, "This is who you are. You’ve always been this way since I met you. If you were truly indifferent, I’d wonder if you’ve changed."

"That’s good." Fan Wubing smiled, feeling very relaxed.

Jiang Sha couldn’t help but smile, "What are we doing here? Not handling serious matters but chatting in my dream about trivial things."

"Is that so? I think it’s quite important. These words, I only say them to you. Saying them to others, I always feel embarrassed."

"Yes, yes, you’re such a tsundere."

"Don’t talk nonsense, doesn’t every man have things they’re reluctant to talk about?" Fan Wubing coughed, "Speaking to you because... you won’t make fun of me."

Jiang Sha squinted her eyes, "I should let those people in Wenxin Celestial White Jade Capital see this. In their eyes, you’re a fierce, unruly, savage person defying the Heavenly Dao, yet you have such a tender side."

"Let’s forget about that," Fan Wubing raised an eyebrow, "Don’t talk about these things to An An."

"Afraid she won’t like you after knowing?"

"Heh, I’m just afraid she’ll chase me with questions. Besides, being liked by a little one is not something particularly delightful."

"If it’s a big sister’s affection, you’d be happy, right?"

"Hmph, of course."

Jiang Sha’s eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a hint of eagerness in her pupils, just as she was about to speak, Fan Wubing suddenly said,

"It’s here! The moon!"

Jiang Sha looked up, the full moon in the night sky had turned from platinum to a mysterious blue.

As cold and desolate as death, the chill spread through the great desert, making one feel like falling into an ice cellar.

Jiang Sha turned to look at Fan Wubing, and saw his eyes as deep as an upturned Milky Way, as if containing the universe’s starry sky. She covered her chest and whispered to herself, "Approaching destiny..."

The Eye of Eternity.

Able to see the end of all paths except the Destiny Dao.

Fan Wubing suddenly spoke,

"You have faked death three thousand seven hundred and eighty-four times, haven’t you?"

Jiang Sha was stunned, "How do you know?"

Fan Wubing gazed at the mysterious blue moon, his gaze elusive, "Because I saw every way you died. The first was in battle, the second was due to inner demons, the third was from illness... I saw them all."

Jiang Sha’s fake deaths weren’t just feigned but were true experiences of dying. Although she revived each time, her deaths were genuine.

Fan Wubing couldn’t help but admire her. To become stronger, she was able to go to such lengths.

"The last death was a natural one." Fan Wubing asked, "Are you the only one who comprehended the Death Dao?"

Jiang Sha nodded, "Before you, only I met the conditions to comprehend the Death Dao. Because this path required one to truly die. At the moment of death, everything is annihilated, and I’m just someone who had the means to return to the Mortal World."

"What means?"

Jiang Sha laughed, "Did I not tell you before? I’ll tell you after you take care of me for twenty years."

"Alright." Fan Wubing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stretched lazily, and smiled, "Alright, we can go out now."

Jiang Sha paused, "It’s over?"

"Yes."

Jiang Sha was infinitely curious, "How did you do it?"

"After watching all your three thousand and some odd deaths, I comprehended it."

This is the power of the Eye of Eternity. To the world, the end of the Supreme Dao, which seems so distant, he can effortlessly see to its conclusion. Of course, this was also because Jiang Sha unreservedly showed him the entire process of her comprehending the Death Dao, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.

Jiang Sha, who had seen many things, was rarely surprised by anything.

But Fan Wubing’s extraordinary comprehension ability truly shocked her.

One must know, in her time, it took her over a thousand years to comprehend the Death Dao.

And Fan Wubing, only took a quarter of an hour.

One could only say, he was either a genius, or maybe the Death Dao was meant to be comprehended by him.

...

The Life Dao can grant vitality, while the Death Dao, on the contrary, can take it away.

The cycle of life and death is an eternal truth, even those who are long-lived will eventually face death one day.

The flux of vitality is the tilt between life and death on the scales.

After simultaneously mastering both the Life and Death Daos, Fan Wubing could feel them resonate on his Dao Platform Mountain, intertwining with each other like the Yin Yang Fish of the Yin Yang School, forming an independent yet closely linked balance.

This was an unprecedented experience.

Once Fan Wubing closed his eyes, through the Map of All Living Creatures, he could see all the life and death in the world.

The birth and disappearance of life gradually became a tangible existence rather than a mere concept.

He grew closer to all beings, so much so that he was already part of their cycle of life and death.

"Something new to tell my disciple," he thought of Zhuge Hong’s smiling face.

Jiang Sha took a deep breath, "Alright, I admit I underestimated you. I thought we’d be here for a while, but it seems I was overthinking. In that case, let’s go out."

"Wait."

Fan Wubing simultaneously drove the Life and Death Daos.

In the next moment, the sun, which had sunk into the ground, suddenly rose, meeting the full moon in the sky.

The two intertwined and rotated, gradually transforming into the shape of a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish.

Fan Wubing said, "It sure is well hidden."

Jiang Sha was stunned, "What is this?"

"A little gadget, not important," Fan Wubing laughed.

Jiang Sha didn’t ask further and teased, "Looks like you had plans for me all along. So can I assume that when you used Jian Shi Tathagata to design a scheme for me to approach you, it was for this thing?"

Fan Wubing forced a smile, "You didn’t scheme me any less, consider it a repayment. However, it wasn’t just for this thing."

"What else?"

"Also for the reward of that twenty-year agreement."

"...All business, huh!" Jiang Sha raised her eyebrows.

Fan Wubing chuckled, "What else?"

Jiang Sha was a bit displeased but didn’t show it.

...

The Moon Day not only exists in Jiang Sha’s dreamscape but requires one to simultaneously master both the Life and Death Daos to manifest it.

He grasped at the sky, where the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish was caught in his hand.

At the same time, a full moon appeared in his Purple Mansion, then vanished.

["Seven Luminaries Immortal Search Skill"]

[Attribute: None]

[Grade: None]

[The enlightened becomes an immortal, hidden in mountains, rivers, and seas, illuminated by the bright moon, they can be sought]

The Immortal Search Skill doesn’t have any direct abilities, its effects are almost entirely functional. Initiating this technique allows one to perceive and interact with the enlightened, essentially a sense of the Dao. At first glance, it seems like a low-end version of the Eye of Eternity. Its use might just equal to a divine technique to reveal the hidden.

But after Fan Wubing examined it roughly, he didn’t find anything special, and stopped.

Rain Control Skill, Thunder Control Skill, Celestial Patrol Skill, Dragon Performance Skill, Star Arrangement Skill, Immortal Search Skill.

He had acquired six of the Seven Luminaries.

Only the last Fire Luminary was left.

And the Fire Luminary, according to the connection he had felt with Zhuge Hong earlier, was on the distant and mysterious Dragon Emperor of the Demon Continent.

"The approaching destiny... is getting closer and closer."
