Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

In Fan Wubing’s eyes,

Jiang Xuan transformed into all the beings under heaven.

He was both the exalted Terminal Daoists and the roadside grass and the insect.

At this moment, he was all living beings, gazing upon this world from their perspective.

He could see every living creature in the world, every space, the total aggregation of all matter and things. Any secrets or darkness found nowhere to hide before him.

Yet, he singularly could not see Fan Wubing.

Thus, his voice exploded within everyone’s mind,

"Fan Wubing, where are you!"

Jiang Xuan, using the ultimate Circulation Dao, let tonight’s challenge be known and witnessed by everyone.

In Changning City, all those who were busy couldn’t help but stop. As soon as they closed their eyes, they could feel Jiang Xuan’s will, knowing that at this moment, this Immortal Emperor was "fighting" someone named "Fan Wubing" or rather undergoing a kind of test.

This was the real live broadcast!

Luo Qingyao, Zhuge Hong, Jiang Sha, Liu Qingqing, Guan Xin, Ye Wuyue — they all stopped. They couldn’t see where Jiang Xuan was, but they knew he was everywhere.

But,

what about Fan Wubing?

Where was the other protagonist at this moment?

"Fan Wubing, haven’t you kept up with me? Or did you retreat? Knowing you absolutely can’t reach that elusive endpoint?" Jiang Xuan questioned.

"Jiang Xuan, can your eyes see the top of your head?"

Fan Wubing’s voice suddenly resounded, thunderous and shocking.

Everyone, guided by Jiang Xuan’s will, looked up toward the sky. But they did not see Fan Wubing.

"Where exactly are you!"

Fan Wubing’s voice was ethereal, as if in the mind, yet seemed to be from the distant horizon,

"I’m above you! Jiang Xuan, it is you who haven’t kept pace with me! I know what you’re thinking. You want to merge with the world through the Circulation Dao, and then with that, feel the will of all people. You want to know if I can understand that the will of the Immortal Dynasty is actually the will of all the people under heaven. If I cannot feel the will of the people, cannot exist in their hearts, then I... would never be able to breach your defenses, right?"

Jiang Xuan paused.

Everyone could feel his mood at this moment.

Only the simple word "shock" could express it.

Jiang Xuan knew that Fan Wubing mastered the same extreme Circulation Dao as he did, so he adopted this method. But he didn’t expect that Fan Wubing did not merely master the extreme Circulation Dao but had surpassed him, becoming the Circulation Dao itself.

At this moment, Fan Wubing was no longer merely a person but a Dao, becoming the embodiment of the will of the Circulation Dao.

Therefore,

Jiang Xuan didn’t know where Fan Wubing was.

He only transformed into the Power of Circulation, but he did not transform into the Circulation Dao, so how could he know where the will of the Dao was?

"Phew..."

Everyone could hear two heartbeats, one their own, and one Jiang Xuan’s.

Jiang Xuan’s heartbeat was rapid. He tried his best to calm himself down,

"On the Circulation Dao, you have travelled further than I, even to a degree that I can never reach. But are you in the hearts of the people under heaven? Can you feel their will?"

Fan Wubing said,

"Have you heard of the ’Profound Realm Project’ originating from Little South Continent, widely circulated?"

"I’ve heard of it and seen it; it’s quite remarkable."

"So, who do you think is the author of that plan?"

"..." Jiang Xuan paused in shock.

And when he came to his senses, Fan Wubing had already appeared before his eyes and also appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Fan Wubing smiled at Jiang Xuan and at everyone,

"At the age of twenty, I had already begun to feel the will of all beings. However, I always felt that what I sensed was just superficial, far from reaching your true wisdom. At that time, I couldn’t know what I was facing, feeling that I needed to keep learning. I felt the obsessions of all beings in the Fallen Immortal Land, and I roamed across different places under heaven, seeing what you saw, thinking what you thought.

"However, I still couldn’t position myself in front of each of you. I thought I was fighting for myself... So, even if I once silently existed in your will, I always couldn’t dispel the fog before me.

"Do I now have the qualification to stand before you?

"I don’t know.

"But I came anyway.

"I’m not in your heart, but maybe the answer is already in your heart."

Standing before everyone, Fan Wubing appeared so close, like a longtime friend or family member. It seemed that as long as he stood in front, everything would be fine. As long as he had not fallen, the road kept extending forward.

Merchants and peddlers, high officials, literati and scholars, Cultivators, seekers of the Dao, demons and monsters, ghosts and spirits...

No difference in black and white; as long as they were in this world, existing, they could see Fan Wubing.

He was right in front, not ethereal, reachable with a stretch of the hand.

People didn’t know what Fan Wubing was going to do... but they could feel that they could let him do it, or only he could do it.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan finally understood,

that this test never needed to exist in the first place.

Because Fan Wubing had already passed the test long ago.

And now, all he was doing was letting everyone know of his existence, allowing them to recall his name, feel his intent.

Jiang Xuan withdrew from the state of being an embodiment of the Circulation, looking desolately at Fan Wubing,
