Chapter 1685: Chapter 1685

Fang Bai shook his head and sighed, "That descendant of the Fang Family is like a dragon that appears and disappears unpredictably. He spent merely a day with me, taught me some martial arts techniques, and then went on his travels. Since then, I haven’t seen him again. What a pity..."

The Wei siblings couldn’t help but show expressions of disappointment and regret upon hearing this.

Wei Qingluan furrowed her brows and hesitantly asked, "Brother Fang... You said that descendant of the Fang Family taught you martial arts techniques. Could you... tell us which techniques those were?"

She called Xia Chenyu her elder sister and thought it was safe to call Fang Bai "Brother Fang".

Fang Bai knew this pretty and delicate young girl was somewhat skeptical of his words. He chuckled and replied with a question, "Does your Wei Family cultivate the water system techniques passed down from your ancestor Wei Feng?"

Wei Qingluan said, "Yes! We’ve grown up by the sea since childhood. The water element Qi here is pure and dense, giving us exceptional conditions to cultivate water system techniques."

Fang Bai continued, "The water system techniques learned by your ancestor Wei Feng were originally taught by the Fang Bai who ascended to the Immortal Realm, wasn’t it?"

Wei Qingluan nodded, thinking that the Fang Bai who ascended was her ancestor’s master, and it was only natural for her ancestor to cultivate the martial arts he taught. Why ask about it?

Fang Bai said, "Let me guess... does your Wei Family’s legacy include a set of water system martial arts known as ’Chaos Heavenly River Finger’?"

Wei Qinglong and Wei Qingluan exchanged glances and saw astonishment in each other’s eyes.

The Chaos Heavenly River Finger is a water system martial art created by Fang Bai in his previous life, a finger pointing out like the galaxy pouring down, with immense power.

This water system martial art was taught by Fang Bai in his previous life to some disciples and close friends, including Wei Feng, the ancestor of the Wei Family.

Wei Feng was one of the disciples Fang Bai received during his time in the Three Thousand Worlds before ascending to the Immortal Realm. Thousands of years passed, and Fang Bai had almost forgotten about this disciple until today, when he saw the stone statue in Immortal Stone City and suddenly remembered he had such a disciple and descendant in his past life.

Although Wei Feng received Fang Bai’s teachings, due to limited talent, he ultimately fell at the Thunder Tribulation Realm and could not ascend to the Immortal Realm, which is regrettable.

However, because of Fang Bai’s teachings, Wei Feng gained tremendous strength, allowing him to traverse the Three Thousand Worlds. His family, the Wei Family, became one of the most powerful families in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Just that the Wei Family has guarded the stone statue for generations, rarely leaving Immortal Stone City, and they have acted discreetly, not making their name known to the world.

"Do you... know the Chaos Heavenly River Finger?"

Wei Qinglong looked at Fang Bai and asked.

Fang Bai chuckled and said, "Not only do I know it, but I also learned it... It was taught to me by that descendant of the Fang Family."

At this moment, the roars resounded, and the surrounding sea beasts attacked once again.

This time, the sea beasts mainly targeted Fang Bai because they knew only by killing him could they enjoy the bodies of the other human martial artists here.

"Chaos Heavenly River Finger! Watch closely!"

Fang Bai put away the Blood Blade, and his right hand slowly pointed toward the sky.

Amidst the thunderous sounds, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a massive finger formed from water element Qi emerged from the clouds, like the galaxy descending, carrying immense pressure toward the incoming sea beasts.

"It truly is the Chaos Heavenly River Finger..."

The Wei siblings looked at the finger pointed out by Fang Bai and were speechless, with faces full of shock.

In their eyes, Fang Bai not only performed the Chaos Heavenly River Finger but also the power of that finger seemed stronger than they could imagine, as if it wasn’t weaker than when their parents performed it.

The water element Qi finger slammed down like a huge water column, smashing into the ground and creating a pit ten zhang in diameter, instantly turning over a dozen sea beasts into pools of flesh and blood, and the shockwave sent dozens more flying.

"Brother Fang, you’re incredible..."

Wei Qingluan muttered as she looked at Fang Bai with admiration.

Xia Chenyu didn’t expect that after not seeing Fang Bai for several years, his strength had reached such a level, her beautiful eyes shining with surprise.

Fang Bai’s formidable power greatly intimidated the sea beasts, so some began to howl, summoning their companions who had invaded the city for support.

In just a dozen breaths, the sea beasts surrounding the stone statue increased from hundreds to over a thousand, and the number was rapidly growing.

Although the sea beasts in the Thunder Tribulation Realm were battling human experts at the Black Sea’s edge, the sea beasts that invaded the city were not lacking in the Soul Severing Realm. A thousand Soul Severing Realm sea beasts gathered together could cause considerable destruction.

"If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!"

Wei Qinglong shouted. He knew the heavy pressure of such a large number of sea beasts could greatly hinder martial artists’ ability to fly, and at that time, no matter how strong Fang Bai was, if he couldn’t ride the spiritual artifact to escape into the air, he might not escape death.

However, Fang Bai was unafraid, casually punching several sea beasts that approached him, and asked the Wei siblings, "Why don’t you leave?"

Wei Qinglong shouted loudly, "We must protect this stone statue! Our ancestor left this command: while the statue stands, the Wei Family exists! If the statue is damaged, the Wei Family has no face to exist in the world!"

Fang Bai shook his head and said, "It’s just a stone statue. Why should your Wei Family..."

He knew the Wei siblings were determined, and persuading them to leave was impossible, so he raised his head and let out a clear howl.

This howl was like a demonic sound, entering the ears of the thousands of sea beasts surrounding the stone statue, causing them to suddenly become dazed, their eyes turning blood-red.

Fang Bai’s howl changed, becoming rapid and piercing, and then the sea beasts began to go berserk and scattered to attack other sea beasts in the city.

"The sea beasts are fighting each other..."

The Wei siblings saw the thousands of sea beasts that had invaded the city stop attacking human martial artists and start attacking each other, leaving them dumbfounded.

Xia Chenyu knew Fang Bai was using the Beast Taming Scripture to control the sea beasts and have them attack each other. She was not surprised, letting out a long breath, knowing the four of them were safe for a short time.

"Xiao Lian, Wu De, Little Mink, come out and get some air!"

Fang Bai said, looking at the Five Elements Space Ring on his left finger.

The Five Elements Space Ring flashed with light, and Xia Chenyu felt her eyes blur. After the light disappeared, she focused again and three people appeared out of thin air.

Xia Chenyu recognized Wu De at first sight. Wu De hadn’t changed much compared to their time in the Minor World, only becoming a bit fatter.

And to Wu De’s left was a girl in a yellow dress. Xia Chenyu felt she looked familiar but was hesitant to recognize her.

The one standing to Wu De’s right was a young man in silver clothing, whom Xia Chenyu had never seen before.

"Sister Chenyu, it’s me, Xiao Lian!"

The girl in the yellow dress saw Xia Chenyu and beamed with joy, excitedly rushing forward to hug Xia Chenyu.
