Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 317: Chapter 310: A Discourse on Destiny, the Great Sun Contention

[...]

Dongli’s expression changed in an instant. In his panic, he blurted out, "Fang Yang actually reached Tier Five Elementary, and he’s sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking?!"

At that moment, it wasn’t just him who was in turmoil; no one else in the ranking plaza was faring much better.

Even Yu Zither Immortal was staring intently at Fang Yang’s name.

She stood with her hands behind her back, a look of regret in her eyes. "So it’s a Carp Eagle, not a Three-legged Crow?"

It was worth mentioning that she possessed a perfect-grade Fusang Divine Tree Sacred Body.

The Great Sun Golden Crow and the Fusang Divine Tree were mutually dependent, making them the most ideal of companions on the path of cultivation.

...

"Ah Yang, congratulations."

Fang Hao’s expression was complicated. "To think that I, a Tier Five Peak cultivator, am not even your match..."

At that moment, a severe sense of defeat washed over Fang Hao.

He had cultivated desperately, hoping to become the clan’s pillar as soon as possible and lessen Fang Yang’s burden.

But how long had it been? Fang Yang had advanced by leaps and bounds, sprinting all the way, and had now directly surpassed him to become sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking.

The more he compared them, the more it seemed to prove just how... incompetent he was!

Hearing this, Fang Yang comforted him,

"Uncle, there’s no need to be discouraged. You mustn’t lose heart. Everyone has their own path."

"As long as you want to walk it, the road is right beneath your feet."

"Back in the day, the Yue Sheng Ancestor emerged from the Slave Ant Ancient City. He was a late bloomer who ultimately earned the admiration of even the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor."

Hearing this guidance, Fang Hao stood frozen in place as if he had heard an immortal sound, seemingly on the verge of an epiphany.

Meanwhile, Fang Min watched Fang Yang from the side, her eyes twinkling as a delighted smile spread across her fair little face.

It was because the current Fang Yang now had an air of maturity and stability that made people trust him.

Thus, the more she looked at Fang Yang, the more pleased she was.

She said with relief, "Ah Yang has grown up."

Fang Yang smiled, then looked down to browse the ranking list booklet in his hands.

For the most part, the original top ten on the Celestial Ranking had all become Saints.

Among them, Muri Guang Huang was even considered the second pillar of the younger generation, second only to Sen Yue, with a status far exceeding that of people like Chen Kui, Jiang Venerable Sword, and Dongfang Mobai.

And the original top ten on the Earth Ranking had also, without exception, entered the Tier Five Elementary realm.

However, aside from him and Dongli, no one else had been able to enter the Celestial Ranking while at the Tier Five Elementary realm.

’Tier Five Elementary, sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking...’

Fang Yang mused to himself.

A fierce fighting spirit ignited within him.

’Perhaps I can skip past Sen Wei and compare myself to the Sen Yue of the same period.’

Before the age of thirty-two, Sen Yue was in the top ten of the Celestial Ranking.

’In other words, if I also reach the top ten of the Celestial Ranking by the time the three rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man are next finalized, wouldn’t that make me equal to Sen Yue, equal to a Young Venerable?!’

...

The sound of the zither was crisp and clear, ethereal and sacred, like a chorus of immortal sounds.

It flowed from beneath the slender, jade-white fingers of Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint, incomparably peaceful and holy.

During the minor alchemy lesson, nearly ten students sat with their eyes closed, all of them mesmerized.

"Fang Yang has entered the Tier Five Elementary realm and reached sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking?!"

When Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint first heard this news, even with her thousand years of self-cultivation, she couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment.

Fast. It was too fast.

How many years had it been?

This was especially true since she was keenly aware of Fang Yang’s growth trajectory, having practically witnessed it with her own eyes.

But it was precisely because of this that ripples formed in the lake of her heart.

’Fang Yang... could he really not have a perfect Spirit Body, or even a perfect Sacred Body?’

TWANG—

Her slender, pale fingers faltered, a string on the zither was struck awry, and a discordant note rang out, shattering the sacred melody.

Sen Hui, Xuezhi, Caiwei, Xuerou, and the others were startled awake. They opened their eyes and looked at her in confusion.

She gave a calm smile, then tapped lightly on the empty air.

In the next moment, a simplified list of the three rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man materialized as a screen of light in the middle of the room.

"Wait, am I seeing this right? Fang Yang has once again suppressed Dongli, standing firm at sixty-third on the Celestial Ranking?!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

These words immediately caused the others to shift their gazes between Sen Hui and Caiwei.

Sen Hui’s brows lifted, and it was clear she was in a joyous mood.

Caiwei looked astonished, but there was no anger or resentment on her face.

Compared to Sen Hui, Caiwei’s reaction was clearly more surprising to everyone.

Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint narrowed her eyes, thinking, ’It seems this child, Caiwei, has truly let go of the conflict.’

In the beginning, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint herself had been somewhat surprised when Caiwei swallowed her pride and proactively came to learn the art of pills from her.

She was also aware of the conflict between Xiaohui and Caiwei.

But after a period of interaction, she suddenly realized that Caiwei had truly been beaten into submission by Xiaohui—no, it would be more accurate to say, by Fang Yang.

It was very strange.

But thinking about it carefully, given the Murong clan’s family customs, it didn’t seem out of place.

At this moment, seeing the comparison between Fang Yang and Dongli, everyone present had twinkling eyes and varied expressions.

...

The Thunder Saint Academy existed in the Thunder Control Great World.

It was independent, but not completely closed off from the outside world.

It could even achieve real-time communication through the special platform of the Void Heaven!

Therefore, after the new round of changes to the three rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Fang Yang’s name once again attracted the attention of the Saints from the Changkong clan, and even the Saints from other Golden Clans began to pay attention.

「The next day.」

The Fang Clan Ancestral Hall.

Divine tablets hung in the hall, thick incense smoke curling in the air from flourishing burners.

Because they had no Saints and no Blessed Land, the Fang Clan received information somewhat slower than the other major clans.

But now, a group of Fang clan elders, led by the virtuous clan elder, were all crowded around the "Three Rankings Booklet," scrambling over each other to get to the center.
