Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 295: Chapter 293: Moved

In this year’s Refining Dao Convention, Fang Yang’s points from the first two rounds had given him such a massive lead that he was in a class of his own.

Of course, Sen Hui had also pulled far ahead of the pack.

But everyone knew that as long as they drove Fang Yang out of the Four Symbols Mystic Realm, Sen Hui would naturally withdraw.

And so, all the contestants reached a consensus.

If they wanted to claim the champion’s title, they had to drive Fang Yang out of the Four Symbols Mystic Realm.

The Champion of the Refining Dao!

This title was in no way inferior to a spot in the top ten of the Celestial Ranking.

Once one held this title, they would receive a greater share of cultivation resources.

It could even be said that with this title, one would truly have one foot in the Saint Realm.

The Saint Realm...

The prospect of increasing one’s lifespan by a thousand years alone was enough to drive people into a frenzy.

Thus, under these circumstances, the situation grew turbulent.

Contestants led by Yu Qingyun, Chen Chenxing, and Jiang Yueyue gradually turned their attention to Cyan Dragon Lake.

And with a tacit understanding, they all began to converge on Cyan Dragon Lake.

"Miss Yueyue, no matter what, Fang Yang and Sen Hui are geniuses of our Changkong Clan. Are we really going to make a move against them?"

On the southeastern outskirts of Cyan Dragon Lake, Chen Chenxing’s tone was hesitant.

Perhaps because of his cousin, Chen Ying, his feelings toward Fang Yang and Sen Hui were somewhat complicated.

He didn’t want people to think he was targeting Fang Yang out of a personal grudge.

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyue’s willow-like brows shot up as she snapped angrily:

"We’ve already come all this way, and you’re still saying things like that?"

"Besides, you’re a grown man! Why are you being so indecisive and wishy-washy!"

Jiang Yueyue was acting extremely aggressively, as sharp and overbearing as her elder brother, Jiang Venerable Sword.

Her words were like a Cold Sword, instantly severing Chen Chenxing’s unnecessary reservations.

「Cyan Dragon Lake.」

The water rippled.

Contestant after contestant gathered here, silently observing Dragon’s Eye Island in the distance.

The incredibly profound Talisman Array, in particular, made their hair stand on end and sent a chill through their hearts.

Fang Yang’s strength was even more terrifying than they had anticipated.

If they didn’t swarm him all at once, they probably stood no chance against him.

And even if they managed to drive Fang Yang out, he would likely take a group of them down with him.

Interestingly, however, despite knowing the dangers that lay ahead, not a single person considered backing down.

They all understood that Cyan Dragon Lake was now a grand stage.

As long as they displayed their abilities and proved their worth, even if they couldn’t become the Champion of the Refining Dao, they could still add weight to their own paths to the Saint Realm.

Therefore, aside from a few exceptions, almost all the contestants had gathered on the outskirts of Cyan Dragon Lake.

They were all now waiting for one thing: the arrival of Yu Qingyun!

Yu Qingyun arrived.

But she didn’t team up with them to deal with Fang Yang as they had expected.

On the contrary, Yu Qingyun actually started working with Fang Yang to eliminate the other cultivators.

"Yu Qingyun, what are you doing?"

"Without Jiang Yueyue, how are we supposed to deal with Fang Yang?!"

"Chen Chenxing was eliminated by Fang Yang too! This is bad, the guy’s a tough nut to crack. Everyone, attack together..."

As contestant after contestant was defeated, waves of shock erupted both inside and outside the competition grounds.

No one could have imagined that Yu Qingyun would be so arrogant as to do such a thing.

She truly believed herself to be invincible!

Because of this, even Fang Yang gave Yu Qingyun a deep, long look.

Fierce winds howled, and heavy waves crashed.

Yu Qingyun’s black hair danced in the wind. She held the Cyan Scale Sword, her body exuding a formidable Evil Qi.

At this moment, she stared at Dragon’s Eye Island with a cold expression. "Fang Yang, I’m here to send you on your way."

The moment her voice fell, she strode forward like a shooting star, her oppressive aura bearing down on Dragon’s Eye Island.

BOOM!

The sky suddenly darkened.

Thunder roared continuously as arcs of electricity crackled through the air.

Behind Yu Qingyun, it was as if a ferocious beast loomed.

With every step she took, the waters of Cyan Dragon Lake surged, reaching for the heavens.

Her approach was overwhelmingly menacing, causing Fang Hao to worry and Caiwei to rejoice from outside the arena.

The final showdown was truly about to begin.

Whoever was left standing at the end would be the Champion of the Refining Dao.

Ultimately, this was a world where cultivation and martial strength reigned supreme.

If you wanted to prove you were worthy of the title of champion...

...it was simple.

You just had to use your proudest creations to destroy all other contestants.

"Xiaohui, don’t get distracted. Focus on your Alchemy."

At such a critical moment, Fang Yang actually smiled gently.

He was still reassuring Sen Hui, still helping her break through the Pill Master’s barrier to become a Tier Five Pill Master.

With that said, he unhurriedly began to operate the Talisman Array to deal with Yu Qingyun.

BZZZZZ...

Outside Dragon’s Eye Island, a crimson-violet Talisman Array formed a circular barrier of light, shielding the island.

Not only that, but hills materialized from the crimson-violet Talisman Array and actively pressed down on Yu Qingyun.

In that instant, the sky was no longer filled with roaring thunder, but was pitch black.

Seeing this, Yu Qingyun put force into her grip and flung the Cyan Scale Sword into the sky, using the sword to shatter the hills.

It was like a cyan rainbow piercing the sun, or a Flood Dragon emerging from the abyss.

The moment the hills and the sword’s edge collided, a massive wave of energy erupted, blasting a hole in the great lake’s surface.

After that, the two sides continued to clash.

You conjure a Profound Water Snake; I conjure a Fire-spitting Eagle.

You conjure an ancient bronze spear; I conjure a Silver Divine Shield.

For a time, Talismans and array flags transformed into all manner of things, clashing madly.

But no matter what moves Yu Qingyun made, Fang Yang was able to calmly counter each one without revealing his true self.

"This is just absurd," outside the arena, Chen Chenxing watched, dumbfounded.

’Phew... Yu Qingyun, just run out of Primordial Qi already,’ Fang Hao prayed silently, hoping for her misfortune.

’So it turns out I was the frog in the well,’ Jiang Yueyue fell silent, her expression downcast.

It could only be said that the fierce battle between Fang Yang and Yu Qingyun had already somewhat surpassed the scale of a normal Refining Dao Convention.

In any previous year, either one of them could have easily become the champion.

But now that two tigers had met, all they could do was fight to their heart’s content.

「Cyan Dragon Lake.」

Heaven and Earth roared.

"Ahhh..."

Yu Qingyun let out a long, drawn-out cry.

As a great wind blew, her Daoist robes billowed.

On her hair, on her robes, on her fair, jade-like body, array patterns flickered into existence.

She was actually using her body as an array, inscribing the Array of Celestial Stars upon herself, preparing to walk a forbidden ancient path that had long been lost to legend.

Her audacity was immense. Did she think she was a Young Venerable?

If she made a single mistake, she would absolutely suffer from cultivation deviation and perish in body and soul!

But the effect was also extremely apparent.

Under her life-risking tactics, a Star Realm began to shine in the nine heavens above.

In an instant, layers of star-lit mist appeared in mid-air.

These misty layers stacked one upon the other, forming multiple arrays.

Using her own body as the array’s core, she actually linked all the flows of qi, forming a compound array.

Finally, the array transformed and extended, turning her into an ancient Star Simurgh.

This ancient Star Simurgh was covered in starlight. Its wings were as heavy as mountains, and its feathers stood on end like spears and swords, exuding an intense and baleful Evil Qi.

This was her trump card: a single strike with the power of Tier Six!

At the same time, a mighty Flood Dragon’s cry echoed from within Dragon’s Eye Island.

Following it, an ancient Sword Flood Dragon shot out, charging straight for the ancient Star Simurgh.

BANG...

An incredibly muffled, colossal sound rang out.

A blindingly brilliant light illuminated the world.

At this moment, the Sword Flood Dragon and the Star Simurgh were still locked in a frantic struggle.

But unexpectedly, Fang Yang still held the upper hand.

"How can this be..."

Outside the arena, the light faded from Caiwei’s eyes.

Now, she had a completely new feeling.

Even if Dongli were to return, she couldn’t say for certain that he could defeat Fang Yang.

Because Fang Yang had already built up an unstoppable momentum!

A thick sense of despair, like an iron curtain in the dead of night, fell over her heart, plunging her into darkness.

Just as expected, once the dual Tier Six powers of the Sword Flood Dragon and the Star Simurgh canceled each other out, both sides were back on equal footing.

But when Fang Yang used his Talisman Array to link with the water veins of the great lake, he managed to suppress Yu Qingyun in the blink of an eye.

’I lost without even seeing Fang Yang’s real body?!’

Yu Qingyun’s hair was disheveled, the light in her eyes wavering.

She lost.

She actually lost.

She actually lost to one of these clan disciples?!

She was still in a daze even after the teleportation ring sent her back to the Bluestone Plaza.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint’s lips curled into a slight smile, while Fu Sheng Fairy sighed inwardly.

Sang Xiaowan looked worried, but she was thinking to herself:

’Small fry, small fry, you’re just a small fry, Senior Sister.’

’How could anyone really just win, win, win all the time? Snap out of it.’

’Besides, that guy Fang Yang’s brilliance is something even that annoying Su Dao can’t compare to.’

’Losing to him is perfectly normal. You need to pull yourself together, Senior Sister.’

「At the same time.」

「Dragon’s Eye Island.」

Fang Yang reached a hand to the sky and summoned the Xuanyuan Talisman Treasure.

Immediately, a humming sound began to rise, and a streak of light flashed across the sky.

After the great battle, the Xuanyuan Talisman Treasure had gained quite a few new cracks.

But strangely, it still hadn’t shattered and retained enough power for one more Tier Six strike.

"This Talisman Treasure... it actually has the power for three Tier Six strikes?!"

The speaker was Master Lanwen.

Seeing the Xuanyuan Talisman Treasure leisurely return to Fang Yang’s hand, he lost his composure slightly.

Fang Yang was a mere Mortal Cultivator. How could he possess a Talisman Treasure with the power of three Tier Six strikes? How was this possible?

And yet, Fang Yang had done just that.

At this moment, even Sen Yue and Wine Lion the Great Saint were visibly moved.
