Further back, there are two disciples, Wei Changkong and Jiang Maodian, who have been quite famous since ten years ago.

Further beyond, there are also Li Chuan, Zhao Buyu, Zhou Yueyi... and many other disciples who have gradually made a name for themselves in the Martial Dao trials across various continents of the world.

If one were to count, Luo Qingyao could also be considered halfway there.

Among them, the most special is Ai Yinian. Previously, people at Wangxian Pavilion suspected that Fan Wubing might be the reincarnation of the Celestial Venerable Wuxiang from the Taishang Sect of the Immortal Continent. In the end, the truth proved them half right. The reincarnated form of the Celestial Venerable Wuxiang is indeed from the Eternal Immortal Sect, but it’s not Fan Wubing; it’s his junior brother Ai Yinian.

The Taishang Sect is also one of the Twelve Towers and Five Cities, and it holds a higher status in the Daoist School than Wangxian Pavilion.

However, this Celestial Venerable Wuxiang has yet to awaken the memories of his past life and seems somewhat reluctant to join the Taishang Sect.

Xue Ya gathered her thoughts, looked at Fu Manman, and asked,

"You don’t do idle things. Is there something important you’re here to discuss?"

Fu Manman fixed her gaze and said solemnly, "The Path of the Demon Lord for the Nether Demon Lord will soon commence in the Taiping Continent."

Xue Ya’s expression changed instantly, and she straightened her posture, "What’s going on?"

Fu Manman recounted her experiences over the past period.

After listening, Xue Ya had a serious expression, "This matter should not be underestimated. If it were ordinarily, it might be fine, but it happens to be at this time. Nowadays, all eyes across the world are on the Taiping Continent. If any issue arises, it could have cosmic implications."

"That’s what I think too."

"Do you need my help?"

Fu Manman shook her head, "Celestial Venerable Youxuan is still busy taking care of the Fallen Immortal Land, so I didn’t want to trouble you too much. I’m just worried that the demon cultivators might target the Suspended City, so I came to inform the Celestial Venerable to be on guard. Also, I want to understand the situation of the battles around the Dragon Observation Platform and Fallen Immortal Land."

"The battle situation..." Xue Ya described the situation of the past month.

"Stabilized?" Fu Manman was somewhat puzzled.

Xue Ya nodded, "Generally, this shouldn’t happen. The battles in the Fallen Immortal Land usually intensify gradually, rarely ever suddenly calm or weaken. If this trend continues, we might be able to counter-attack by next month."

Fu Manman pondered for a moment, "Is there a problem with the Obsession Furnace?"

"I went to see it before. It looked quite normal." Xue Youxuan then remembered the dream she had of Fan Wubing. It made her somewhat embarrassed. She felt she shouldn’t be the type to have spring dreams.

Fu Manman noticed the change in Xue Youxuan’s expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Did Celestial Venerable Youxuan find anything unusual?"

Xue Ya didn’t choose to hide it out of pride; she straightforwardly shared her dream about Fan Wubing. Honestly, she wanted to see if Fu Manman had any reaction, but unfortunately, Fu Manman became even more serious. However, she noticed a subtle change in Gu Lan’s expression on the side.

Fu Manman furrowed her brow, "Are you sure it was a dream?"

"I was pretty sure before, but now that you ask, I’m a bit unsure. Maybe it was an illusion?"

Fu Manman said seriously, "After Wubing disappeared, for over twenty years, I’ve never once dreamed of him. What about you, Senior Sister Gu?"

"Me?" Gu Lan was initially startled, then shook her head, "I haven’t either."

"That’s a bit odd." Fu Manman’s gaze was firm, "I’ve dreamed of many people I miss, but never of Wubing. I don’t think it’s because I don’t miss him enough. Senior Sister Gu hasn’t either, which probably means that since his disappearance, no one should dream of him. Yet Celestial Venerable Youxuan suddenly did..."

Xue Ya thought for a moment, "Basing it on this is somewhat subjective, isn’t it?"

"Yes, so we should go and check it out in person."

Xue Ya nodded, "That’s also good, then let’s head out."

Fu Manman paused for a moment, then shook her head, "It’s better if I go alone."

Xue Ya frowned and asked, "Why?"

The golden threads in Fu Manman’s eyes slowly undulated, "Because I cannot be altered. Whether there are restrictions or illusions there, I can remain unmoved. But you all are different. To be safe, it’s better if I go alone."

Xue Ya gave Fu Manman a deep look, "Alright."

She knew Fu Manman was speaking the truth.

Not being influenced by external forces, remaining immutable, always maintaining a constant state, that is the most direct ability of the Eternal Dao.

Without a moment’s delay, Fu Manman disappeared in a flash.

Only Xue Ya and Gu Lan were left in the Daoist Palace.

Looking at the beautiful woman with golden hair and dark skin, Xue Ya blinked and asked with a smile, "What’s your relationship with Fan Wubing?"

Suddenly asked this question, Gu Lan was taken aback; she tried her best to control her expression, "Why does Celestial Venerable Youxuan ask this?"

Xue Ya crossed her legs and lay on her side, "Fan Wubing likes gentle older sisters, especially if they’re voluptuous, with a slender waist, pert hips, and long legs. You perfectly match his preferences; I’m sure he can’t resist you. I don’t believe nothing happened between you two."

Gu Lan was momentarily at a loss for words and retorted, "That’s just your subjective judgment without any basis. Junior Brother Wubing and I are just senior and junior disciples."

"You might fool others, but don’t fool yourself." Xue Ya laughed and said, "Just now, when I said I dreamed of Fan Wubing, you reacted the most out of the three of us. Is that really just a senior-junior relationship?"

Gu Lan stubbornly said, "Of course, it’s a senior-junior relationship."
