Eternity Starts From His Seed

Chapter 30: Gathering Info

Similar to the Cloud Sword Sect, the territory of the Sun Furnace Sect spanned a vast distance, and the Sunfire Desert was a major part of it.

And the chasm was the Desert Abyss, a natural barrier preventing a full-scale war between the two mortal kingdoms ruled by the two sects.

Without the interests of their mortal kingdoms being touched, the two sects actually maintained a somewhat harmonious relationship, with occasional small skirmishes here and there, infiltration, and compromises in many aspects, even serving as each other's outlet for managing public opinion.

However, beneath this facade of harmony, it couldn't be denied that the Sun Furnace Sect was a true demonic sect.

A dual cultivation sect relying on snatching women could hardly be considered upright or orthodox. This sect would be fortunate if it doesn't become the focus of public outrage!

But, the Sun Furnace Sect had a long history, nearly matching that of the Cloud Sword Sect, and it still hasn't faced destruction till this day. The reason? Because it was a big sect with the presence of an old Nascent Soul ancestor in charge!

In the world of immortal cultivation, the distinction between light and darkness was often razor-thin. Most of the time, it usually came down to who had the biggest fist.

When two sects were evenly matched, temporary peace prevailed, compromising and burying the hatchet until the day one surpassed the other. This was the situation between the Cloud Sword Sect and the Sun Furnace Sect. This delicate balance also existed among many other sects.

While there were still many details unclear to him, Bubai had gained a fairly general understanding of the situation from Xiao Lan's mouth. And Bubai had to admit, her storytelling skills were quite impressive.

Sitting on his wooden bed within his cabin, Bubai observed Xiao Lan's iceberg-like expression as she conveyed the situation to him.

Below, from her book bag, Bubai still noticed the freshly recorded story of their honeymoon hike, its fresh ink still spilling onto the wooden floor.

However, any remorse or fear he might have felt before had dissipated.

So what if she was Fang Bubai's woman? Who dictated that Fang Bubai must be the protagonist? Perhaps he was merely a genius destined to meet an untimely end in the wilderness.

Even if Fang Bubai were the protagonist, Bubai reminded himself that he, too, was Fang Bubai and possessed his own unique advantages!

With his golden finger, if he lacked the courage to face another protagonist, he might as well go commit suicide by slamming his head into a block of tofu out of sheer embarrassment to his fellow transmigrators!

Others are afraid of Fang Bubai, but he, Grandpa Fang, isn't!

Coming to terms with his situation, Bubai cast aside any reservations and indulged in his desires, practicing sword skills with Xiao Lan to his heart's content over the past couple of days, gradually transforming this tragic heroine into his shape.

Now, after a few days of training, this iceberg beauty had become adept at drawing up a training plan for him...

It became evident that while Bubai extracted information from her, she, in turn, was also learning about him - and proving to be quite adept at it. Despite the blank, cold facade she presented on the surface, she had been surprisingly proactive, especially as they approached the Sun Furnace Sect.

Naturally, Bubai was aware of the reason behind her increased activeness, especially after she had indirectly communicated her helplessness.

By now, he understood her unspoken plea, yet he refrained from giving her confirmation even after several days. He believed that by maintaining this uncertainty, she would appreciate his eventual decision more.
