Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 774: Chapter 302: Escaping from Hell, Falling from Heaven (Part 3)

"Actually, there’s no problem. Because that Great Demon is your senior sister."

"Huh?"

Yushan Daoist said, "At that time, she suddenly appeared near the Eternal Immortal Sect, which gave me quite a scare. Do you know what her cultivation level was at that time?"

"What cultivation level?"

"The same as mine, a Seven-Tiered Tribulation Immortal! Even the Dragon Emperor of the Demon Continent only had the strength of six tiers." Yushan Daoist said, "At the time, I thought my identity had been exposed and the Heavenly Dao sent her to kill me. Luckily, it wasn’t the case. She was severely injured, and it was obvious she was cursed by the Heavenly Dao. I helped her bear the curse, but the price was that my end came prematurely."

Fan Wubing was stunned, "Can one really help bear a curse from the Heavenly Dao?"

Yushan Daoist saw through him at a glance,

"Wubing, don’t harbor crooked thoughts. I helped her because I was already in reincarnation at the time; if I died in this life, I would have another."

Fan Wubing chuckled, "I can also enter reincarnation."

"If you enter reincarnation, who will guard this world?"

"...Alright."

Yushan Daoist did not expose him. But he knew Fan Wubing must have considered helping Jiang Ran bear the Heavenly Dao’s curse. But he understood, as Jiang Ran was indeed worth someone doing this for her.

"After saving Ming’Er, I quickly discovered she was the reason I appeared in the Eternal Immortal Sect. So, I used my last bit of cultivation to seal her memory and cultivation to prevent others from discovering it."

Fan Wubing touched his nose, "No wonder senior sister suddenly became so powerful. She unlocked the seal, huh... Does Master not know senior sister’s true identity either?"

"She resembles an old acquaintance. But unfortunately, I cannot tell you who that is."

"Why not?"

"Because if she truly is that old acquaintance, she definitely doesn’t want you to know. If she’s not, I don’t have a more reliable guess."

"Alright."

"Junior brother!" An An suddenly shouted from afar.

Fan Wubing loudly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I found something really fun. Come over here."

Fan Wubing helplessly glanced at Yushan Daoist.

Yushan Daoist smiled and said, "Go on, go on. An An was always like this, so full of energy."

Fan Wubing then walked towards An An,

"I’m coming!"

Yushan Daoist looked at the pair of senior and junior brothers, and in a daze, it was as if he saw the moment Fu Ming and Fan Wubing first met.

Yet at this time,

Suddenly the world fell silent, everything stilled. The leaves and birds froze in the air, and beside them Little Moonfall seemed as though encased in ice.

Yushan Daoist sensed something, turned around abruptly, and laughed,

"So you’ve come so soon."

Si Jiuyou’s eyes were serene, like a tranquil lake in the forest,

"Sensing that the Jade Ancestor has escaped reincarnation, I’ve come to pay my respects. Over these years, you’ve struggled hard."

"Among us, none is free from hardships, none is not painstaking. Jiang Ran is, however, the one who has endured the most."

"She’s too willful, not listening to advice. If she had been willing to wait a bit longer back then, she wouldn’t have ended up like this." Si Jiuyou glanced at Fan Wubing, "This man seems to have persuaded her somehow, but I don’t know what method he used."

Yushan Daoist laughed, "There’s no method or trick. Sincerity is all it takes."

Si Jiuyou shook her head without saying anything further,

"Alright, I’ve paid my respects to the Jade Ancestor. I won’t stay any longer."

"Won’t you meet him? He’s a good kid."

Si Jiuyou looked at Fan Wubing and calmly said, "Meeting him wouldn’t change anything. It’s better not to meet."

"Do as you please. By the way, may I ask a question?"

"What is it?"

"When Fu Ming first appeared in this world, considering the circumstances, she likely couldn’t escape the Heavenly Dao. Did you help her?"

Si Jiuyou paused,

"Maybe."

Then she turned and left, and the world resumed its operation.

Yushan Daoist turned around, only to suddenly discover Fan Wubing staring straight this way. But he quickly got involved in his play with An An.

Just now, Yushan Daoist felt an illusion, as if Fan Wubing broke free from Si Jiuyou’s time stop.

"An illusion, indeed..."

Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable Si Jiuyou is the world’s foremost because she holds the Cosmic Dao, sees through time, pierces through ages, knowing everything from the past, present, and future.

If her time stop could be broken, she would surely know in advance and avoid coming here.

Since she came, it means no one can break free.

Yushan Daoist shook his head and returned to his courtyard.

...

Was it an illusion?

It seemed like Master was chatting with someone just now... Seemed to be a woman.

Fan Wubing tried to grasp that moment from his memory but found nothing.

Even with the eyes of eternity, it couldn’t discern whether it was truly an illusion.
