Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Passing Down Knowledge
“Brother Fang is back!”
“I knew you would be okay!”
“Haha, Little Mink said you might have become a meal for the sea beasts! But the Taoist Master said you are a man of great fortune and destiny, and surely wouldn’t die! Looks like I was right!”
“That day, I heard a sea beast with at least a Thunder Tribulation Triple Realm roaring. I thought Fang Bai went to fight that sea beast! Plus, he had been missing for so many days… You can’t blame me for jumping to conclusions!”
When Fang Bai landed in the Wei Family’s courtyard, appearing before Xia Chenyu and the others, they were all overjoyed.
“Is this Brother Fang Bai?”
After Fang Bai finished conversing with Xia Chenyu and the others, Wei Zhengtian, along with his wife Shi Hongye, approached with a smile, cupping his hands as he asked Fang Bai.
“Brother Fang, this is my father, Wei Zhengtian; and this is my mother, Shi Hongye.”
Wei Qingluan stepped forward to introduce Fang Bai.
Fang Bai made an “oh” sound, casually cupped his hands in return, and said, “I am indeed Fang Bai. Greetings to both of you.”
Typically, the Wei Zhengtian family before him would be considered descendants several generations down from Fang Bai, yet Wei Tianyi referred to Fang Bai as “brother,” which Fang Bai found amusing.
However, Fang Bai was broad-minded and open-hearted, so he didn’t care about such matters.
“I have already heard from Qingluan and Qinglong about the sea beasts attacking Immortal Stone City. Thanks to your intervention, Brother Fang. Wei here represents the Wei Family and the hundreds of thousands of residents of the city, and I thank you sincerely.”
As Wei Zhengtian spoke, he bowed solemnly to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai was not shy and accepted the bow with grace, then said, “It was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, there is some connection between your Wei Family and me.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengtian was immediately excited and said, “Qingluan told me that Brother Fang once met a descendant of the Fang Family and learned the Chaos Heavenly River Finger from them… Is this true?”
Fang Bai smiled slightly and, without speaking, demonstrated the Chaos Heavenly River Finger on the spot.
Wei Zhengtian, seeing Fang Bai’s demonstration, was shocked as the power seemed even greater than when he used it himself, clearly understanding the essence of this technique more profoundly.
The Wei Family, since the era of their ancestor Wei Feng, had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, yet due to the qualifications of later generations, each was weaker than the previous.
When it came to Wei Zhengtian, although he had cultivated to the Thunder Tribulation Triple Realm relying on the martial arts passed down by the ancestors, the power of the Chaos Heavenly River Finger was less than that of the previous Family Head.
Wei Zhengtian felt it was his own dullness that prevented him from grasping the essence of the technique, thus feeling both fearful and self-reproachful, thinking that if things continued this way, the next generation would be even worse.
Seeing Fang Bai exhibit the Chaos Heavenly River Finger, Wei Tianyi was greatly impressed, feeling that Fang Bai’s practice of the River Finger was the correct path, and during the Wei Family’s transmission through the ages, something must have been overlooked, causing the technique’s power to wane.
“Since we have met, it must be fate. I will stay for a while and impart the essence of this technique to you and your wife. Qingluan, Qinglong, and other Wei Family disciples may also listen in.”
Wei Zhengtian was pondering how to ask Fang Bai for guidance, only for Fang Bai to offer it proactively.
Wei Zhengtian was immensely grateful, intending to kneel with his family to thank Fang Bai for his great kindness, but Fang Bai stopped them.
“If you are to give thanks, it should be to Senior Fang. After all, my martial arts techniques were passed down by his descendants.”
Fang Bai said with a smile.
The Wei Zhengtian couple agreed, and so they took their children to the statue of Fang Qian, bowing deeply with utmost respect and sincerity.
“If only we could meet the descendants of the Fang Family.”
Wei Zhengtian sighed upon returning.
Fang Bai’s return with an advancement in cultivation, clearly noticed by Xia Chenyu and the others, was not questioned in detail.
To them, Fang Bai’s unparalleled talent and wide-ranging knowledge made his advancement unsurprising.
However, Wei Qingluan and Wei Qinglong, the sibling duo, were astonished, wondering how Fang Bai, who was at the initial stage of Soul Severing during the Immortal Stone City battle ten days ago, suddenly appeared at Soul Severing Perfection, equal to them in cultivation level?
In that battle, Fang Bai exhibited the power of a Thunder Tribulation expert from an initial Soul Severing realm. Now, after advancing three small realms, his combat power must have reached an astonishing level?
The Wei Family siblings, possessing innate spiritual roots and seen as the hope of the family, were self-confident and ambitious, but in front of Fang Bai, they felt insignificant, deeply impacted.
In the following days, Fang Bai temporarily stayed with the Wei Family, and the Wei descendants dispersed everywhere were summoned by the Wei Zhengtian couple to gather in Immortal Stone City.
After the Wei descendants gathered, Fang Bai began to elucidate the Chaos Heavenly River Finger’s essence, while also providing guidance on the Water Element Art of the Water System techniques. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel✶fire.net
Most Wei descendants were extraordinarily gifted, but due to the neglect and missing elements in martial art technique inheritance, they had weakened over the years.
Under Fang Bai’s guidance, many Wei descendants experienced a sudden enlightenment, as if seeing a new world of Martial Dao, leaving them addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
In the days that followed, over half of the Wei descendants advanced to higher realms due to Fang Bai’s teachings, significantly elevating the overall strength of the Wei Family.
Wei Zhengtian, Shi Hongye, as well as Wei Qingluan and Wei Qinglong, also greatly benefited. Though they had not yet advanced in realms, their insights were profound, confident that their advancements were only a matter of time.
“Brother Fang is planning to go to the Xuanyang Realm?”
Upon learning that Fang Bai intended to leave Immortal Stone City soon, cross the Black Sea, and head to the opposite Eastern Desolate continent, Wei Zhengtian couldn’t help but worry for him.
“The Black Sea is fraught with peril, and crossing it is no easy task. The Eastern Desolate continent is said to be full of Thunder Tribulation experts, all vying for cultivation resources, with frequent occurrences of conflict and bloodshed, making it one of the most dangerous territories in the Three Thousand Great Worlds…”
Wei Zhengtian had ventured to the Eastern Desolate continent once during his early Thunder Tribulation stage training, narrowly surviving countless life-and-death situations, and it was a struggle to return to Immortal Stone City, leaving him fearful even to this day.
As his cultivation reached higher realms, although he desired to visit the Eastern Desolate continent again, his role as the Family Head, coupled with the responsibility to guard the statue, prevented him from journeying afar.
In Wei Zhengtian’s view, while Fang Bai was powerful, he wasn’t a Thunder Tribulation expert and was too young and inexperienced to navigate danger effectively, prompting Wei Zhengtian to advise Fang Bai to delay his plans and only visit after he reaches the true Thunder Tribulation Realm.
However, Fang Bai said, “I have friends currently in distress in the Eastern Desolate continent. Precisely because it is dangerous there, I must find and protect them. Brother Wei, I appreciate your concern, but I must go to the Eastern Desolate continent!”
