Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 297: Chapter 295: Tier 4 Peak

The third round of the Refining Dao Convention was held in the Four Symbols Mystic Realm and lasted for a total of two months.

Now, it had finally come to a close.

The night was hazy, the stars brilliant.

Fang Yang and Sen Hui walked through the spatial gate side by side, returning to the Bluestone Plaza.

In an instant, a pillar of light shot toward the heavens, piercing the clouds.

Within the heavenly pillar of light, a Fire Eagle Illusion and the illusion of a verdant tree supported one another, soaring straight to the very top.

It turned out that, thanks to Fang Yang’s deliberate efforts, he and Sen Hui had tied for first place!

At that moment, all eyes in the Bluestone Plaza were fixed upon them.

"I can’t believe it. Fang Yang actually managed to do it."

"And Sen Hui... to become a Tier Five Pill Master at such a young age! Her future is boundless."

"The champion of the Refining Dao Convention... two of them! Something like this is almost unheard of..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Although they had steeled themselves for this possibility, seeing it actually happen made them realize just how astonishing it truly was.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint was ecstatic.

Originally, she would have considered it a success if Sen Hui had simply made it into the third round of assessments.

As for Fang Yang, she had initially thought he would just be accompanying Sen Hui through the trials as a Tier Three Pill Master.

Who could have predicted that Fang Yang would switch to competing as a Talisman Master and end up carrying Sen Hui all the way?

Now, not only had Fang Yang helped Sen Hui claim the champion’s title, but he had also helped her break through to become a Tier Five Pill Master.

’Xiaohui is a Tier Five Pill Master.’

’Such an accomplishment surpasses even my own when I was young.’

’I bet even Sen Yue and Huanwu the Great Saint will be stunned by this.’

Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint felt a surge of pride.

But while some rejoiced, others despaired.

「Elsewhere.」

「In a small courtyard.」

When Caiwei learned that Sen Hui had truly taken the champion’s title and become a Tier Five Pill Master, her mood soured.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to quell the flames of jealousy in her heart.

But no matter how she tried to compose herself, the bitterness in her heart remained overwhelming.

"Fuck."

The curse escaped her lips—the very woman who considered herself the model of a direct-line daughter.

The composure she was normally so proud of had completely vanished in that moment.

「Meanwhile.」

The Refining Dao Convention was still proceeding with its final stages.

Ultimately, Fang Yang and Sen Hui received the champions’ reward for the Refining Dao Convention.

For the coming period, they would be allowed to observe the Saints performing Artifact Refining and witness how they utilized the Dao resonances of both success and failure.

...

「Wind Peng Dojo.」

The White Frost Stone House.

In the darkness, Fang Yang was not asleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on a meditation mat.

His body and soul had been made incredibly powerful, tempered by multiple Spiritual Objects and Sacred Objects. Even so, he would typically sleep through the night before attempting a breakthrough to ensure he was in peak condition.

This time, however, he made an exception. He was about to refine the Wind Flood Shadow, a special Sacred Material.

’The Wind Flood Shadow is fundamentally a Wind Dao Sacred Material, but through a twist of fate, it also touches upon the Dark Dao.’

’I wonder if it can help me break through to Tier Four Peak in a single attempt.’

A dark glint flashed in Fang Yang’s eyes.

He immediately closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the True Essence Sea of his first Void Acupoint.

The True Essence Sea of his first Void Acupoint contained the Carp Eagle’s Divine Feather, the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear, the Wind Flood Shadow, and more.

Compared to the emptiness of his second Void Acupoint’s True Essence Sea, the first one seemed far more crowded.

At his mental command, his True Essence began to wash over the Wind Flood Shadow, provoking a reaction.

The moment the Wind Flood Shadow stirred, the Profound Origin Talisman Treasure rumbled in response.

The rumbling of the Profound Origin Talisman Treasure, in turn, stirred the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear.

It was a chain reaction, one link triggering the next, like a stream flowing into a river and then out to sea.

Finally, the Cyan Thunder Talisman Seedling within the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear began to react, evolving into the Cyan Thunder Talisman Tree.

The Cyan Thunder Talisman Tree!

As Fang Yang gazed at the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear, a sense of profound completeness filled his heart.

He knew that from now on, the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear would no longer suffer from the side effect of dropping in rank.

The Verdant Wood Sacred Spear had now fully stabilized at the level of a Tier Six Sacred Artifact.

He now truly possessed a Sacred Artifact!

’A mature seedling is planted, the seedling becomes a tree, and the tree must blossom and bear fruit...’

In a flash of insight, he suddenly understood many things.

He knew that for the Verdant Wood Sacred Spear to ascend back to the rank of a Tier Seven Sacred Artifact, the Cyan Thunder Talisman Tree within it had to blossom and bear fruit!

The next moment, seizing the opportunity before the Wind Flood Shadow could completely dissipate, he transformed his consciousness into a Carp Eagle.

In a trance-like state, he journeyed to the desolate star where the Heaven beyond Heavens was located.

He soared across the desolate star in the form of a Carp Eagle, exploring its vastness.

Two hours later, the Wind Flood Shadow dissipated completely, and his consciousness returned to his body.

’Refined to 76%?’

As he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that the refinement of the Fire Eagle Illusion’s beak had increased from 68% to 76%.

In other words, he could now attempt to break through the barrier!

The True Essence Sea of an advanced Tier Four Cultivator was the color of refined gold.

Now, he focused his consciousness back inside his Void Acupoint.

His Refined Gold Primordial Sea, at one hundred percent purity, was a seamless whole, as still and steady as a golden moon.

’Rise,’ Fang Yang commanded with a thought.

The placid Refined Gold Primordial Sea instantly stirred, sending out layer upon layer of churning ripples.

The ripples grew more numerous and larger, forming massive waves.

RUMBLE...

The massive waves surged, crashing against the Crystal Membrane again and again.

Once he shattered the Crystal Membrane and his Void Acupoint began to produce True Gold True Essence, Fang Yang would become a true Tier Four Peak Cultivator.

A Tier Four Peak Cultivator at the age of twenty-four.

Even some of the current Great Saints would have to concede that such a cultivation speed was superior to their own!

’Again.’

With a turn of his consciousness, Fang Yang activated the Carp Eagle illusion.

In an instant, the Carp Eagle illusion transformed into a Fire Eagle. With a sharp cry, it beat its wings, stirring up immense waves.

It gazed down from high above, its eyes fixed on the Crystal Membrane.

As it began its dive, the churning waves grew even more immense, roaring without end.

The previous waves could only be described as streams of flame.

But now, they were torrents of Anomalous Flame, entire Fire Realms unto themselves.

The difference between the two was, of course, incomparable.

This was accompanied by a drastic consumption of True Essence, causing the surface of the sea to drop continuously.

BOOM—

The Fire Eagle crashed directly into the Crystal Membrane, causing it to tremble violently.

The once-gentle orange light suddenly erupted into an aggressive golden brilliance.

True Gold True Essence had appeared!

Seeing this, Fang Yang was overjoyed and pressed his advantage.

「One hour later.」

Fang Yang opened his eyes and laughed heartily. "Tier Four Peak was as easy as turning over my hand!"

Feeling the immense, surging power within his body, he couldn’t help but clench his fist.

In that instant, a clap of thunder resounded.

He knew that as the cultivation level of his first Void Acupoint increased, his four Lifebound Skills had also grown stronger.

Not only that, but the various Spiritual Objects and Sacred Materials he had refined in the past could now unleash even greater power.

At this moment, he felt strong—unimaginably so.

Even Dongli, the champion of the Earth Ranking, would undoubtedly fall in defeat before him now!

Of course, what pleased him even more was that the speed of his breakthrough had surpassed his own expectations.
