Chapter 162: Nothing Else Matters
anyone. But there's also a possibility that we will be suspected, our traces found, and noticed. Tian Anping's reputation doesn't need me to explain it. You can't deny he has the potential to find ou...Those were vacant eyes, and when they rolled, a spark of life suddenly appeared.
“I meant no harm.” said the owner of the eyes.
Not until this moment did the outline that rose from the shadows slowly take shape.
... but he was an average-built man with a slightly cold and handsome expression.
With sword-like brows and frosty eyes, he possessed an air of distinction.
Jiang Wang drew his sword and said, "Uninvited, you must have other intentions. To barge in without warning can hardly be considered good manners, can it"
At this time, the place where he took a breather and sat down in meditation was an inn not far from Shibi Square.
On floating islands, establishments like inns do not charge fees. Any cultivators who return from battling in the wilds can take food, clothing, and other necessities as needed. The shopkeepers will then bill the floating island's garrison for reimbursement afterward.
Of course, extraordinary materials still need to be arranged by oneself.
Jiang Wang also learned about these trivial details of floating island life only when he returned to the floating island this time.
"I am Fu Yanqing, sent by the island master to request a conversation with you. " Fu Yanqing said, "You sensed my arrival before I appeared, did you not"
He first explained his intentions, but there was still a hint of youthful arrogance in him. Later, he added a sentence, implying that Jiang Wang couldn't have discovered him beforehand, he deliberately let Jiang Wang discover him, so it was telling after arriving.
Jiang Wang had already seen Xiong Wen's similar Shadow Concealment Technique when he was in Fenglin City. It was said to be a secret technique of the Xuehe Sect. Looking at it now, it was naturally quite crude.

But the person before him was different. He arrived naturally and gracefully, without any trace of vulgarity.
Jiang Wang even felt that his own shadow could sever from him at any moment—the person before him had such ability.
"What does the island owner want from me" he asked.
On this small, unassuming island, the only one who could be called the island master is Ding Jingshan.
“I don't know either.” Fu Yanqing said, “But the island master asked me to look for you in the wild before, but I couldn't find you. It should be related to your achievements on the Sea Border Ranking.”
"Thank you," Jiang Wang released his sword hilt and stood up to express his gratitude.
After cleaning the battlefield, he held a red makeup mirror in his hand and wore a concealing robe. When he was sure it was safe, he stepped onto the azure clouds, disappearing instantly if there were any disturbances. He ignored all movements, whether from humans or sea creatures.

Thus, he quietly returned to the Dingwei Floating Island without a sound, and thus wasn't discovered by Fu Yanqing who had gone out specifically looking for him.
But regardless, Ding Jingshan specially sent someone to the wild to look for him. This favor he had to accept. Fu Yanqing spoke of this matter precisely because of this reason.
"At the summit of the highest mountain on this island, the Island Master awaits you, Brother Jiang. You may go now. I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave first." Fu Yanqing bowed in return, then swayed backward, melting back into the shadows.

Everyone carries the palanquin.
Since the island master valued this young man so much, Fu Yanqing wouldn't be foolish enough to make an enemy of him for no reason. The slight unpleasantness from their first meeting was easily smoothed over with a casual remark.
Instead, Jiang Wang looked at her motionless shadow and fell silent.
The world is vast and wondrous, with countless marvels. There are numerous magical arts and supernatural techniques.
Hiding in the shadows is not an extraordinary thing. But just now, this Fu Yanqing, with just a mere manifestation of his shadow form, made him feel pressure. It should have only been a phantom image, but it definitely possessed powerful combat strength!

The Illusory Realm truly lives up to its reputation as the battleground for both humans and sea races. It's teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

The highest mountain on the island is easy to see and find.
Jiang Wang pushed open the door and stepped out of the inn. Instead of making a grand exit by flying directly into the air, he walked along the road, taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with this floating island and pondering the reason Ding Jingshan had sought him out.
Before Fu Yanqing appeared, he thought it was just a follow-up from the Chu Mi gang. He was thinking about whether to show his strength and settle things quickly to avoid future trouble.
I didn't expect that I hadn't stayed on the floating island for a few hours, and it actually attracted Ding Jingshan's attention.
On the way, I kept moving forward, observing and reflecting until I reached my destination. Then, with each step, I ascended to greater heights, leaving all earthly concerns behind.
Finally, I get to see the core characters of Ding Wei Fu Island.
The divine mighty being seated atop the mountain peak was around forty years old. His nose bridge was slightly flattened, and his face was a bit too wide, making him not particularly handsome. However, he wasn't as ugly as that Qing Que fellow.
Moreover, the strong ones sit atop mountains, exuding an aura of their own. Beauty and ugliness are inconsequential in the end.

Seeing Jiang Wang's feet light as a cloud, he ascended the mountain peak in just a few steps. Ding Jing shan couldn't help but praise: "What excellent footwork!"

"I have met the Master of Ding Island."
The peak's location was extremely small. Jiang Wang didn't dare to crowd forward, so he hovered in the air and respectfully bowed: "You flatter me."
Ding Jingshan looked at him and asked, "What were you doing when Fu Yanqing found you"
“I am facing my mistakes,” Jiang Wang replied.
"Which aspect" Ding Jingshan asked.
"Combat."
Ding Jingshan smiled, of course he knew the meaning behind Jiang Wang's words. He had just thought before that this kid was talking about the mistakes on Tianya Forum.
This answer satisfied him.
After learning the details about Tainya's platform, he was already quite satisfied with Jiang Wang, and now he was even more satisfied.
"Sit. Sit down in front of me." he said.
Jiang Wang didn't hesitate, descending the mountain peak and sitting opposite him, mimicking his posture.
"Sit here and look, look at these," Ding Jingshan gestured around half a circle: "What do you see"
There are no sun or moon in the sky, no clouds drifting by, only an expanse of white.

There are people, houses, water, and roads down below. Further down, even beneath the floating islands, it's a vast expanse as well.
“The Netherworld,” Jiang Wang said.
Ding Jingshan lightly patted the ground: "Do you know what this mountain is called"
"I'm not sure about that," said Jiang Wang truthfully.

Ding Jingshan sighed: "This mountain has no name, and this mountain doesn't need a name."
Here is the translation of ">" :

Alas, he asked again, "Do you know why this is so"
"This junior doesn't know."
"Because it might vanish at any time. It doesn't simply disappear, it vanishes. So there's no point in giving it a name. And it's not just this mountain, but the entire island, everyone on the island..." Ding Jingshan said, "Yes, what you see is the realm of illusion."
Jiang Wang fell silent.
Even a powerful figure like Ding Jingshan, a formidable warrior, cannot guarantee his own safety.
Perhaps countless cultivators, having expended so much effort to establish this floating island, may not be able to ensure its lasting existence.
Faced with such heavy and cruel reality, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ding Jingshan laughed instead: "Your record on the Sea Frontier List is very impressive. I sent Fu Yanqing to find you, and if he found you and brought you back, I would be very happy. He didn't find you, but you came back yourself, which makes me even happier."
He said, "A genius who is skilled at saving lives is more valuable than a genius who is skilled at killing enemies. Because living gives one a future. Only then can we inflict greater harm upon the Sea Clan."
“I am ashamed.” Jiang Wang said, “I was only narrowly escaping death and acting cautiously for self-preservation.”
“Do you know why I wanted to see you” Ding Jingshan asked again.

"I really don't know," Jiang Wang said.

Of course, he had many speculations. For example, was there pressure from the Dìng Hǎilóu faction, or perhaps was Yánggǔ trying to curry favor with the State of Qí In short, that sort of thing.
Ding Jingshan looked at him and said, "I just want to see you. There is no pressure, nor any temptation. No other factors. I just want to see you, such a young genius who has cultivated to the realm of Shen Tong Neifu and even killed six high-ranking sea clan commanders. I want to see what this mountain I'm sitting on will look like in the future. I hope I can."
His expression was casual, his voice even a little unpleasant, as if something was choking him when he spoke. But Jiang Wang could feel the sincerity in his words.
"Among the denizens of the Netherworld, all are comrades."

Ding Jingshan said earnestly: "This is the only thing I want to tell you."Actually, it doesn't matter if your Yuanshi isn't handy. We have a friendship..." Géfè chirped beside him: "Just use this Shanhe Disk to settle the debt.""Wuling gave him a cold stare: "In this Shan...
