Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 301: Chapter 299: The Sole Sacred Artifact

The river of stars swayed, its light brilliant and dazzling.

In mid-air, Fu Sheng Fairy was still tempering the snow-white great seal.

Complex sigils of the Talisman Dao floated, visible to the naked eye, and roamed across the snow-white great seal.

With a flip of his hand, Fang Yang put away the Mountain Treasure Talisman Seal.

He watched for a while longer before leaving Meteor Cliff.

After all, he didn’t have a particularly good relationship with Fu Sheng Fairy.

Even if Fu Sheng Fairy successfully refined a Sacred Artifact in the end, he wouldn’t be able to learn more of its Mystical Skills.

This was because Fu Sheng Fairy, out of consideration for her Dao lineage’s succession, would surely be selective in what she explained.

She would explain the deeper Mystical Skills mostly to Yu Qingyun and Sang Xiaowan.

Therefore, Fang Yang decided to head for the Four Symbols Mystic Realm.

Within the Four Symbols Mystic Realm were Saints like Layman Shuqing, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint, and Sen Yue.

This group of Saints had a closer relationship with him.

If nothing else, it was Sen Hui who had intercepted a collection of jade scrolls containing insights on refining Sacred Artifacts from them and given them to him.

To some extent, he shared a certain camaraderie with this group of Saints.

"Coming and going in such a rush, how carefree and unrestrained~"

Caiwei watched Fang Yang’s departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh.

As the champion of the Refining Dao Convention, the privileges Fang Yang possessed far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Little streams converge into a mighty river.

By gaining the greatest advantages time and time again, Fang Yang was bound to leave her far behind.

Now, she even had to look up to Sen Hui. Gradually, she felt a heavy sense of powerlessness.

The Four Symbols Mystic Realm.

Cyan Dragon Lake.

An ocean of golden lightning flickered across the sky.

A domain of purple flames burned over the lake.

The golden lightning and purple flames intertwined, connecting eighty-one islands.

In an instant, the archipelago seemed to come alive, like a true dragon swaying its body.

And at the island that formed its eye, a great bronze bell was suspended, undergoing refinement by the heaven and earth here.

On the body of this great bronze bell was an engraving of a ferocious Evil Dragon.

The ferocious Evil Dragon flickered in and out of view, as if it were roaming up and down the bell’s surface, breathing.

Most peculiar of all, beneath its draconic body, tens of thousands of souls and malevolent spirits were being suppressed. This was a mural of a blood sacrifice of countless people!

The master refining this great bronze bell, a Sacred Artifact, was none other than Sen Yue.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Sen Yue’s eyes. He activated his Divine Techniques, concealing both the blood sacrifice mural and the Evil Dragon.

This was because juniors like his sister Sen Hui and Xuezhi were by his side.

And Fang Yang had just arrived.

"When heavenly lightning and Earth Flame intertwine, their power becomes unstoppable."

Sen Yue explained with a faint smile, "This kind of supremely unyielding and fierce power is most suitable for dealing with the world’s foul and corrupt energies..."

Listening to Sen Yue’s words, Sen Hui and Xuezhi couldn’t stop nodding, indicating that they understood.

Fang Yang did the same.

But even as he agreed with Sen Yue, Fang Yang’s pupils constricted slightly.

’Just now, if I wasn’t mistaken, did I just glimpse a ferocious Evil Dragon?’

’And beneath that ferocious Evil Dragon, were there not tens of thousands of vengeful souls?’

’With such a perfect opportunity, why isn’t Sen Yue purifying the Evil Dragon and the vengeful souls? Is he trying to integrate them instead?’

At this thought, Fang Yang’s mind tensed, and he stopped prying any further.

’Some things are best left unknown until one reaches the right level.’

Besides, he hadn’t forgotten that Sen Yue was no virtuous, sacred, or enlightened ruler.

The golden lightning flashed, and the purple flames blazed fiercely.

Under Sen Yue’s tempering, the great bronze bell gradually began to emit faint wisps of a ghastly light, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Sen Yue’s frequency of explaining the Heaven and Earth Natural Skill also grew lower and lower.

Toward the end, he would sometimes go a whole day before uttering a single sentence.

Sen Hui and Xuezhi, lacking sufficient aptitude, could only commit these key points to memory.

Fang Yang, however, benefited from his vast prior accumulation of knowledge and quickly kept pace with Sen Yue’s train of thought.

He even used this opportunity of observing Sen Yue’s Sacred Artifact refining to gradually perfect the blueprint in his mind for refining the Sacred Artifact, the Flame Robe.

...

Refining a Sacred Artifact is an exceptionally lengthy process.

Typically, a conventional Sacred Artifact refining would require several decades, or even a century.

It could even take close to a thousand years.

But now, with the Dao rhymes of failure and success, the refining process was drastically shortened.

The Dao rhyme of failure could eliminate immature materials in advance, working backward to find the correct path.

The Dao rhyme of success could compress time, forcibly overcome obstacles, and push directly forward.

One could say that the Dao rhymes of success and failure played complementary roles—one direct, one unorthodox—greatly accelerating the process of refining a Sacred Artifact.

But no matter how fast it was, it still required a certain amount of time.

"Go and try applying the ’Heaven and Earth Natural Skill’ yourselves. Don’t be afraid of failure; be bold in your attempts."

Sen Yue instructed, his gaze directed mainly at his younger sister, Sen Hui.

Afterward, he focused his full attention, pouring his heart and soul into Artifact Refining.

"This..." Sen Hui hesitated, unable to make up her mind.

She turned to look at Fang Yang, only to see him step forward and actually begin his own attempt.

Teaching and learning went hand in hand.

With a rare template like Sen Yue to study, Fang Yang naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

’In that case, I’ll refine the Flame Robe.’

Fang Yang decided internally, ’The Elemental Artifact version, of course, not the Sacred Artifact one.’

BOOM...

A muffled clap of thunder echoed.

Subsequently, purple lightning and crimson flames were born.

Fang Yang calmly retrieved various materials and Spiritual Treasures from his storage bag.

As if they were conscious, the purple lightning and crimson flames frantically devoured the materials Fang Yang fed them.

Originally, these materials would have turned into pure Primordial Qi and returned to the world, with only the unburnt iron-rock falling into the great lake.

But now, with Fang Yang wielding the Wenshan Pen, something peculiar happened:

The purple lightning tempered, and the crimson flames condensed.

A long robe began to coalesce, bit by bit, within the Sea of Fire.

"He’s putting what he learned into practice so quickly..." Xuezhi’s star-like eyes blinked, her long, snow-white neck stretching out.

She had only been able to come here thanks to a huge favor from her ancestor.

Therefore, she naturally cherished the opportunity to learn by Sen Yue’s side and didn’t dare to be neglectful in the slightest.

But because of this, she once again felt the terrifying brilliance of Fang Yang’s talent.

While she and Sen Hui were still deliberating over every detail, Fang Yang had already begun!

「Seven days and seven nights later.」

The purple lightning dissipated, and the crimson flames raged violently.

Before Fang Yang, a long robe floated gently.

The robe was crimson, looking as if it had been stitched together from flames.

Faint tiger stripes were visible on the robe, exuding a formidable aura and brimming with Evil Qi.

And across the robe, various types of Anomalous Flames formed patterns like flowing clouds, radiating an intense heat.

A top-tier Elemental Artifact—the Flame Robe!

Fang Yang smiled and grabbed it.

In an instant, the crimson robe, radiating intense heat, settled upon his body.

As his thoughts shifted, the robe changed rapidly, appearing as if it were coalesced from a giant river of molten rock.

Magma rippled across its surface, depicting scenes of volcanoes on the verge of eruption.

Not only that, but a divine halo formed from firelight also appeared around the robe.

Faintly, this crimson robe was resonating with the Fire Cauldron in Fang Yang’s first Void Sea.

Joy rose in Fang Yang’s heart:

’Although this isn’t the Sacred Artifact Flame Robe, it still provides a significant boost to my Fire Domain Skill.’

’With it, my Fire Skills have become even more powerful.’

’In other words, I have a greater chance of dealing with Dongli!’

VMM...

VMM VMM...

A dot of blue light suddenly appeared in the void.

The blue light expanded, coalesced into a human figure, and revealed a visitor.

The visitor was Layman Shuqing.

At this moment, Layman Shuqing arrived beside Fang Yang.

He gazed at the Flame Robe on Fang Yang, a wistful expression on his face:

"The Elemental Artifact you’ve refined is extremely similar to the legendary Sacred Artifact, the Flame Robe."

"Moreover, the Flame Robe Sacred Artifact was destroyed many years ago..."

Sacred Artifacts are unique.

His subtext was that in the future, Fang Yang might be able to reforge the Flame Robe Sacred Artifact.

Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Fang Yang’s eyes.
