Chapter 771: Chapter 301: Life and Death Decided by Me—No Reincarnation, No Fate
Fan Wubing laughed, "Master, please rest assured, the least valuable thing about me is my lifespan."
Generally speaking, a person’s Pure Blood Qi is about one ten-thousandth of their total blood energy.
So, what is one ten-thousandth of 470 zetts, or 4.7 zeps?
4.7 zetts!
quadrillions!
Still a magnitude that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Luo Qingyao, through the Dao Marriage Shackles, felt Fan Wubing’s life force as if facing the cosmic starry sky—it was definitely no joke.
Because in this world, there simply wasn’t anyone with blood energy comparable to his.
Fan Wubing, facing Yushan Daoist who had guided him onto the right path, spared nothing, giving generously and shedding blood for him.
If Yushan Daoist had not taken him as a disciple, he might have already died in various accidents in Kuiyu City back then.
This grace of mentorship is impossible to repay.
Yushan Daoist felt the continuous surge of vitality quickly filling his old emaciated body.
In just a few breaths, the intensity of his blood energy returned to its peak.
But it wasn’t the peak of Yushan Daoist—rather, it was the peak of Jade Ancestor!
The famed Literary Ancestor of the Confucian school!
Yushan Daoist looked at Fan Wubing incredulously, unable to imagine what kind of monster his disciple was. Was this really releasing Pure Blood Qi and not just water? The worldview he had built over many years was somewhat shaking. It turned out, someone really could cultivate to such an extent.
Luckily, this person was his disciple!
At this moment, Yushan Daoist’s pride as a mentor reached its peak.
Fan Wubing feared he hadn’t released enough and asked,
"Master, is it enough? If not, I’ll do another round."
"Enough, enough, enough! Anymore and I’ll explode!" Yushan Daoist hastily stopped him.
"That’s good then." Fan Wubing breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "The price of resurrection is nothing to me. Master, you need not worry."
This return of blood energy to its peak completely swept away all concealment and fatigue, feeling refreshingly invigorated.
Yushan Daoist sighed,
"I never imagined such a thing. I once firmly believed that the endless cycles of reincarnation and continuing unfinished missions were the Destiny Dao’s arrangement for me. I didn’t expect it to be interrupted by you. Wubing, are you truly destined to defy fate?"
Fan Wubing laughed, "The word ’destined’ is itself a shadow of fate. Since it’s to defy fate, there’s absolutely no such thing as destined. The universe is not yet set, everything is a mystery."
Yushan Daoist, taking the stance of both a cultivator and a scholar, looked at Fan Wubing with admiration,
"Your enlightenment surpasses mine."
"You flatter me, Master."
"A disciple need not be inferior to the master. Indeed!"
Fan Wubing cupped his hands in salute,
"However, should I regard you as Yushan Daoist or Jade Ancestor, Master?"
Yushan Daoist burst into laughter, "I have transcended reincarnation, I am Jade Ancestor. But the identity of Yushan Daoist is one I am unwilling to part with. Your senior sister, you, both are my pride. That title of Jade Ancestor, if not taken, but being Yushan Daoist must remain."
Fan Wubing laughed, "But this world still needs you, Master, to step forward."
Yushan Daoist, as if holding the universe, was in high spirits,
"The time has not yet come! Right now, I just want to take a good look at my two disciples."
Fan Wubing’s smile faded, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes,
"Master might be disappointed. Senior Sister, she..."
He recounted the story of Senior Sister Fu Ming in detail.
After listening, Yushan Daoist was not saddened but instead extremely excited,
"I knew it, she would never abandon you! She’s the kind of person who would willingly give everything for whom and what she cares about. Wubing, you must not blame yourself... Just think, if it were Ming’Er in deep distress, wouldn’t you give everything for her?"
Fan Wubing firmly said, "I would!"
Yushan Daoist excitedly said, "Moreover, I just figured it out! Ming’Er’s reason for coming to this world was precisely to find a way to confront the Heavenly Dao. Although she gave everything for you, for that unfinished mission, she succeeded! She has reached the Celestial Path!"
Fan Wubing asked,
"Who is Senior Sister, really?"
Yushan Daoist said, "Even she probably doesn’t know. In this world, there are others like her, whose very birth was to continue an unfinished mission. I entered reincarnation to find them. Unfortunately, most of them failed."
Fan Wubing suddenly thought of Zhuge Hong.
Could she be one of such people too?
Fan Wubing said, "A friend once told me. In this world, there has always been a grand selection. Only those chosen can step onto the final path."
Yushan Daoist said, "Wubing. No matter what kind of path this is, you must believe, you are never alone. Many others are trudging through the mud, even if they fall midway, their Soul Spirit continues forward."
"A grand parade indeed." Fan Wubing’s expression became hazy.
Yushan Daoist said, "Yes, an unprecedented grand parade. The post-cultivation era is not an era of degeneration, drunkenness. It’s just, in a completely different way, crying out with all their might."
The encouragement from the master cleared all of Fan Wubing’s gloom.
Even though they were seldom together, Master always knew what his disciples needed most.
Fan Wubing laughed, "Master, I want to introduce you to someone. She’s waiting outside, probably impatient by now."
"Alright." Yushan Daoist, having transcended reincarnation and returned to his peak, was in high spirits.
After walking out of the cave, he was stunned to see the shy young girl standing outside,
"An An?"
An An didn’t recognize him at first as she had lived two lives and looked different. But soon, she felt the familiarity,
"Grandpa Chen..."
Yushan Daoist, being Jade Ancestor, quickly understood what An An had experienced upon seeing her, and smilingly said,
"You’ve also had a hard time these years."
"Grandpa Chen!" An An excitedly threw herself into Yushan Daoist’s embrace.
To her, this grandfather who raised her was closer to her than any blood relative.
After a round of heartfelt greetings, An An was reduced to tears as she shamelessly expressed her grievances to Yushan Daoist, who patiently listened just as in the past, gentle and peaceful.
Fan Wubing was happy for them too.
One was the best master, the other the best "buddy."
The best of them shaped the best of times.
"By the way! Is Grandpa Chen now Jade Ancestor or Yushan Daoist?" An An asked.
Yushan Daoist laughed, "Let’s say Yushan Daoist."
"Then you must take me as your disciple."
"Why?" Yushan Daoist was stunned.
"Because I want to be his senior sister!" An An pointed at Fan Wubing.
Yushan Daoist looked at Fan Wubing in shock.
Fan Wubing shrugged helplessly, "Master, just take her."
Yushan Daoist chuckled, "In that case, I shall accept you as a disciple."
An An eagerly asked, "Then am I the senior disciple?"
Yushan Daoist thought for a moment, "The second senior sister, perhaps. If you were the senior disciple, Wubing might not be happy. Right, Wubing?" He looked at Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing shrugged, "Whatever."
An An blinked her eyes and smiled, "Then I’ll be the second senior sister!"
Fan Wubing gazed into the distance, unwittingly revealing a smile.
