Chapter 939 - 363: Master Above All! (Part 2)

The master, Great Oblivion True Monarch, stood cautiously to the side, humble like a lackey. He had completely become the tea-serving attendant, swiftly refilling cups when he saw they were empty. This left Zhang Yuting feeling both honored and astonished.

The master didn’t speak, leaving the disciple in unbearable discomfort. Great Oblivion True Monarch finally couldn’t hold back,

"Master, why don’t you just beat me up?"

Fan Wubing glanced at him, "I fear dirtying my hands."

"Then just step on me!"

"I’m afraid you’ll enjoy it."

Great Oblivion True Monarch said miserably, "Then how should I satisfy Master?"

Fan Wubing squinted and asked, "Then tell me, where did your sister go?"

Great Oblivion True Monarch looked like he wanted to die,

"This disciple is incompetent! I couldn’t keep an eye on my sister..."

"Your sister is carefree and untamed; letting her out of sight is acceptable. But how could the Qianyuan Sect she founded also slip out of control? If I hadn’t come early, the Qianyuan Sect would have turned to dust!" Fan Wubing scolded.

Only then did Zhang Yuting realize that the ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect, Fairy Weishu, was Great Oblivion True Monarch’s sister and Seven Luminaries True Monarch’s disciple!

Tears streamed down Great Oblivion True Monarch’s face,

"Since my sister disappeared, I have cried my eyes out daily, almost resorting to self-ending. But my heart is with Master, I cannot end it, only drowning my sorrows in wine! Look at me, I drank so much I ruined my face!"

Great Oblivion True Monarch had a face that could be counted as that of a peerless beauty.

Seeing him like this, Fan Wubing waved his hand irritably,

"Beyond remedy!"

Great Oblivion True Monarch pitifully said, "I really want to find my sister, but I really can’t. I’ve searched all over the Eternal Sea without seeing a shadow of her."

Fan Wubing replied,

"Don’t waste your efforts. She’s not in the Eternal Sea at all."

"Then where did she go?"

Fan Wubing’s mind flashed with Zhuge Hong’s smiling face, instantly bursting with joy,

"That fellow somehow found a way and muddled her way back to my side again."

"What?"

"Anyway, she’s fine."

"That’s good." Great Oblivion True Monarch breathed a long sigh of relief, showing a childlike smile on his face. It was as if he’d resolved a knot in his heart, transforming his entire demeanor, shedding his lazy and careless attitude, complementing his stunning beauty, like a person from a painting.

His heroic spirit was soaring, with all his chest’s woes dissipated,

"Since Master has returned, let’s not delay. Let’s immediately charge up Everlasting Mountain!"

"Giving up the Lord of the Star Realm?" Fan Wubing jested.

"Like hell, whoever wants it can have it! Zhang Yuting, you take it!"

Zhang Yuting was sweating profusely, "True Monarch jests."

Great Oblivion True Monarch excitedly told Fan Wubing,

"Master, I’ve been holding back for twenty thousand years, now I only want to unleash a massacre!"

Peach Blossoms chimed in stirring things up, "As expected of my most cherished little Wangg, I say massacre and it’ll be settled, right! Your master is being pretentious, worrying here, overthinking there."

Great Oblivion True Monarch was like a child, jumping with joy upon seeing Peach Blossoms,

"Peach Blossom Senior Aunt! Finally, we meet again!"

"Little Wang, it’s been a long time."

Great Oblivion True Monarch eagerly rubbed his face against Peach Blossoms’ sword hilt.

Fan Wubing suddenly said,

"This time, I’m going alone."

"What?"

"I’m going to Everlasting Mountain alone."

Great Oblivion True Monarch stared at Fan Wubing in a stupor, tears starting to well up once more,

"Master, do you still refuse to forgive me?"

"No, I don’t blame you for anything."

"Then why do you refuse to take me to Everlasting Mountain?"

"Didn’t we fail last time?" Fan Wubing’s eyes were firm, "This path can only be walked by me alone."

Great Oblivion True Monarch said bitterly,

"But the Great Dao is only lonely at its core."

He still remembered, when Master led a group of friends and apprentices, rushed up Everlasting Mountain, attempting to erase the eternal essence, change everything, and return Destiny Dao to its rightful position.

But... they failed.

Because, "Charging up Everlasting Mountain, erasing the eternal essence..." this entire act was also part of fate.

It’s like saying, rebelling against fate is also a part of fate.

From the very beginning, struggling within the inescapable prison of fate, the only possible end was failure.

It seemed,

"Seven Luminaries True Monarch," this fate-chosen worm, was destined to be crowned king, destined to lead the world into ultimate eternity.

The Great Oblivion True Monarch clearly remembers, facing such circumstances at the time, his master’s choice was,

that he would rather fall into the Void Realm than become the ultimate eternal.

He, along with his junior sister Fairy Weishu and other friends, waited for a long, long time at the Everlasting Mountain, but couldn’t wait for Fan Wubing to return. Eventually, they had no choice but to part ways in despair and bitterness. For without the Seven Luminaries True Monarch, they could no longer find their direction.

And now, the Seven Luminaries True Monarch has returned once more, the long-silent voice in his heart cries out, demanding to find true freedom!

Therefore,

upon hearing Fan Wubing say he wants to journey alone, the Great Oblivion True Monarch felt like dying inside.

The Great Oblivion True Monarch pleaded,

"Master, how can I not be one seeking freedom?"

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with it."

"Then what is it related to?" the Great Oblivion True Monarch said angrily, "If Master truly despises me, he could just say it outright, no need to deceive me like this! I may be simple-minded, but I’m not really stupid!"

Fan Wubing actually liked this disciple of his very much.

Because no matter how long he lived, he would always be as innocent as a child, never allowing time to change the purity within his heart.

Fan Wubing said,

"When I reached the summit of the Everlasting Mountain, I did not find the eternal essence."

"Hmm?" The Great Oblivion True Monarch was stunned.

"Not because I lacked skill, but because the eternal essence had already been taken. In short, eternity had already been born, it just hadn’t entered the final eternal state."

"W-Why?"

Fan Wubing looked into the distance, "Yes, I also want to know, why."

He already had the answer in his heart,

His senior sister, Si Jiuyou, was the one who took the eternal essence, becoming an eternal being.

But,

why?

Fan Wubing gently stroked the temple hair of the Great Oblivion True Monarch,

"Xiao Wang, you may have heard, I have always been searching for my senior sister."

The Great Oblivion True Monarch knew of this matter. In the past, Fairy Weishu would often complain privately, saying that in their master’s eyes, only his senior sister mattered, and he didn’t care about the two of them.

"Master... I don’t understand..." The Great Oblivion True Monarch’s mouth showed a bitter smile.

Fan Wubing said,

"If I’m the beginning of chaos, then I should witness its end."

"But..."

Fan Wubing shook his head, "Compared to me, you should still protect your junior sister well, consider it atonement for the twenty thousand years of confusion we had in the past."

"Disciple... understands."

The reunion of master and disciple didn’t last long.

Fan Wubing knew he was just a passerby in this Eternal Sea, the end of the journey lay at the Everlasting Mountain.

After the master and disciple parted, Fan Wubing continued forward, while the Great Oblivion True Monarch quickly gathered an army to head to the Small Thousand Worlds, known as the Eternal Cradle. To protect his junior sister still in the cradle, and to guard the last pure land.

On the road,

Peach Blossoms asked Fan Wubing,

"You know saying that would hurt Xiao Wang’s heart. He’s waited for you too long. He never used to drink..."

"Because I also don’t know what I’ll encounter this time. Maybe, it will be like last time?"

Peach Blossoms didn’t care, "If it’s the same, it’s the same. I don’t mind finding another Small Thousand Worlds, cutting off the Path to Immortality, and waiting for another twenty thousand years."

"You may not care. But I do."

"You’re just being pretentious," Peach Blossoms said.

"Let it be that way then."

A non-bickering Fan Wubing felt unfamiliar to Peach Blossoms. It found a topic to tease him,

"Why didn’t you tell Xiao Wang that you secretly cultivated the ’Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique’?"

Fan Wubing immediately blushed, "Nonsense! Who would cultivate such a trashy cultivation technique!"

Back then, as soon as the Great Oblivion True Monarch created the ’Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique,’ he immediately showed it to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing glanced at it and immediately called it trash, then discarded it.

Since then, the mode of interaction between master and disciple was that the Great Oblivion True Monarch did his best to prove that his ’Heart-Burning Technique’ was good, while Fan Wubing did his best to prove it was trash. Even on the way to the Everlasting Mountain, they were still arguing over it.

Peach Blossoms chuckled sneakily,

"If Xiao Wang found out you cultivated the ’Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique,’ he’d probably go crazy with excitement on the spot."

"If you dare say that, I swear I’ll throw you away too!" Fan Wubing said anxiously.

At such a moment, perfect for seizing an opportunity to tease Fan Wubing, Peach Blossoms, however, appeared exceptionally gentle,

"Okay, okay, I won’t say anything, just like a child."

"Hmph."

Only then did Fan Wubing feel relieved, carrying Peach Blossoms as he continued forward.
