Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 306: Chapter 304: Gaining Momentum

The sky was azure, and a Cyan Lotus bloomed.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, falling upon Fang Yang’s back.

A gentle breeze stirred his robes, making Fang Yang seem even more otherworldly.

At that moment, the crowd in the martial arts arena was still in a daze.

The battle had indeed been incredibly intense.

But it had ended far sooner than they expected—so fast it almost felt like a farce.

It didn’t even last ten breaths. It was too fast, just too fast.

But they all understood. It wasn’t that Dongli was weak, but that Fang Yang was simply too strong.

If it had been anyone else from the Earth Ranking in Fang Yang’s place, they probably wouldn’t have even been able to withstand Dongli’s second move.

Still, when all was said and done, witnessing such a thing with their own eyes felt surreal.

They knew Fang Yang would win nine times out of ten, but they never imagined it would be so... effortless.

"From this day forward, Fang Yang will usher in his own era."

A top expert from the Celestial Ranking’s top ten sighed with heartfelt emotion.

Fang Yang was very young.

To have reached the Tier Four Peak Cultivation Realm at his age already said it all.

Now, the fact that he had crushed Dongli so decisively only proved how terrifying he was.

If not for the fact that his Spirit Body was still just a Grade A Carp Eagle Spirit Body, some would have surely seen him as the next Young Venerable after Sen Yue!

"Sigh, in the end, Ah Yang’s background is what limits him," Fang Min sighed softly.

Zhang Ye was shocked, and Nanyu was stunned.

They were also well aware that Sen Yue’s entry into the ranks of the "Young Venerables" was not due to his own efforts alone.

It was the culmination of nine generations of Great Saints from the Sen clan, the fruit of nearly a hundred thousand years of their labor.

And now, Fang Yang, through his own efforts, had a chance to squeeze into that same domain. It was simply unbelievable.

Even Muri Guang Huang and Hei Liwu watched Fang Yang with solemn expressions.

They felt an intense sense of threat from him.

It was as if Fang Yang would surpass them the moment they let their guard down.

Fang Yang’s effortless defeat of Dongli had caused a huge uproar both inside and outside the Saint Institute.

But in Fang Yang’s own eyes, this was a rather ordinary affair.

Aside from the "Seek Fortune, Avoid Misfortune" talent, he surpassed Dongli in almost every other aspect.

In terms of Lifebound Skills, he had forged his own path with both the "Sea of Thunder Skill" and the Fire Domain Skill, elevating them to the level of a Great Saint’s Method.

In terms of Sacred Artifact enhancements, not only did he have the Yimu Sacred Spear and the Autumn Wind Cicada Treasure Robe, but his Carp Eagle Divine Feathers were also almost fully repaired.

He even possessed a Venerable’s true inheritance, with the "Mysterious Realm" and the "Double Void Acupoint Method."

One by one, they piled up.

The difference in their foundations, built up from all this, was far beyond anything Dongli could have imagined.

’My true benchmark, my real rival, has never been Dongli.’

Fang Yang’s expression was calm, his heart like a placid lake.

The figures of Sen Wei, and even Sen Yue, drifted across the surface of that lake.

It was precisely because of these two imagined rivals that he always felt his own strength was insufficient.

But in truth, even among those in the same realm, neither Sen Wei nor Sen Yue had absolute confidence that they could defeat him.

As for everyone else, they didn’t even come close.

"Xiaohui, let’s go."

At that moment, he returned to the martial arts arena and walked over to Sen Hui’s side.

Then, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, he took Sen Hui’s small hand and boarded the ancient bronze war chariot.

With a ROAR, the four Frost Horses immediately reared up, treading on air and flying away on the clouds.

Such a magnificent sight was truly dazzling, filling onlookers’ hearts with yearning.

"What young maiden doesn’t dream of love?"

Caiwei watched the distant bronze war chariot, ripples spreading through her gaze.

"Fang Yang may be domineering and detestable, but I have to admit, he’s absolutely perfect to Sen Hui."

The bronze war chariot was no longer visible among the clouds, but Caiwei still kept her head raised, her eyes fixed on the sky.

Right now, her thoughts were in turmoil.

She was envious of the bond between Fang Yang and Sen Hui, she recalled her friend Yu Qingyun’s advice, and she stewed over the indignation in her heart.

After a long while, she heaved a heavy sigh.

"Sigh, I was also in the wrong back then. I can’t push all the blame onto Sen Hui."

When it came to Fang Yang, even one as proud as her was finally willing to lower her head.

At this moment, she gave a slight nod.

Then, she moved, rushing toward the Medicine Hall.

She decided to try and change herself, to see if she could get along with Dongli peacefully!

When Dongli awoke, he saw Caiwei keeping watch by his side.

"Wei’Er?!" Dongli’s expression faltered, utterly shocked by her presence.

Caiwei smiled. "Dongli, let’s start over."

...

With the precedent of Fang Yang crushing Dongli, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

Therefore, Fang Yang’s days became relatively peaceful.

He was waiting for the day the rankings were to be finalized.

Even so, he didn’t stop refining his Carp Eagle illusion to make it more solid.

Although his progress was minuscule, he continued to cultivate in seclusion.

He knew that one’s Cultivation Realm was far more important than anything else.

And because his rank was now higher than Dongli’s, Hei Liwu’s chances of obtaining the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings Sacred Material had become uncertain.

When Fang Yang was attending Layman Shuqing’s "Celebration for the Birth of a Sacred Artifact" banquet, Hei Liwu also showed up.

At the Shuiqing Dojo, incense burned brightly.

Palaces in the clouds drifted with the wind.

Inside the largest of these cloud palaces, people came and went in a bustling crowd.

Here, the long banquet tables were laden with fine food and wine.

The prodigies periodically gathered to talk, using the opportunity to form alliances.

Just then, Fang Yang stepped away from the banquet and went to the rear garden to get some fresh air.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked to the southeast.

The shadows in the southeast dispersed as a burly figure walked out. As he moved, his blood-qi surged, and the faint illusion of a Black Kun, haloed in purple-gold light, appeared behind him.

Hei Liwu!

Fang Yang had once obtained the "Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun" Sacred Material from the Black Moon Great Saint’s inheritance.

Hei Liwu himself was a bloodline descendant of the Black Moon Great Saint, and he had also refined a Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun.

In a sense, their blood-qi and power were extremely similar.

Now, Hei Liwu walked straight toward Fang Yang and got right to the point.

"Fang Yang, since this is your first time ranking in the top ten of the Earth Ranking, you get to choose one Sacred Material."

Hei Liwu continued, "Are you going to choose the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings Sacred Material?"

In an instant, Fang Yang’s eyes narrowed.

He had discovered the connection between the Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun and the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings through three main avenues.

First, through the insights from his bloodline dreams; second, thanks to the Mysterious Realm; and third, due to his own "spiritual perception."

He never expected that Hei Liwu would also have sensed this profound connection.

This just went to show that Hei Liwu’s talent was truly top-tier.

Fang Yang’s expression remained calm as he asked in return, "You want it?"

"Of course!" Hei Liwu stated unequivocally.

Fang Yang said, "Then you’d better pray that there are two sets of Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings among the Sacred Materials available for the Earth Ranking this time."

The moment he finished speaking, the gentle breeze in the garden seemed to freeze.

Without another word, both understood the other’s intentions perfectly.

In the current state of the world, for the Thunder Saint Academy to even have one set of Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings Sacred Material was a testament to its deep reserves.

But to have two sets?

Highly unlikely!

Of course, if he were given more time, Hei Liwu was confident he could eventually obtain the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings.

But right now, the very thing he needed most was time.

The night wind began to blow again.

Roses swayed on their delicate stems.

Hei Liwu stared at Fang Yang’s departing back, his expression grim.

’Besides Sen Yue and the Light Phoenix, who in the younger generation doesn’t give me face?’

And yet, at this moment, there was truly nothing he could do about Fang Yang.

Fang Yang’s momentum was already unstoppable.
