Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 320: Chapter 312: Fusang Divine Tree

Within the Thunder Saint Academy, the Heaven, Earth, and Man Rankings had been decided.

Any instability from the transition between the old and new rankings had also gradually settled with the passage of time.

Under these circumstances, Chenri the Great Saint made another announcement:

—He would be selecting suitable prodigies to explore the cluster of Dream Worlds at Burying Moon Mountain!

Instantly, the Saint Institute was in an uproar, both inside and out, with everyone abuzz with discussion.

From the experiences of the students who had returned from the previous expedition, everyone knew that exploring the cluster of Dream Worlds was a tremendous opportunity.

If not for Fang Yang’s explosive debut, the top spots on every ranking would have likely belonged exclusively to the elite students who had gone to the Dream Worlds.

’The fact that I’m still on the Earth Ranking has actually become an advantage for me.’ This was Nanyu. Her gaze was profound as the Fire Eagle Illusion behind her beat its wings.

’Fang Yang, just you wait. I will surpass myself during this venture into the Dream Worlds.’ This was Dongli. His expression was cold, a great cauldron suspended above his head.

Yu Zither Immortal, guarded between the two, had a gentle demeanor in contrast.

For some reason, she found herself thinking of Fang Yang and wondered silently, ’The Great Sun Golden Crow... is that path truly severed?’

She possessed the Fusang Divine Tree Sacred Body. If she wanted to evolve into an immortal body and step into the Great Saint realm, she had to construct and contain the phenomenon of the [Nine Suns Setting on the Fusang].

And the nine suns of the [Nine Suns Setting on the Fusang] referred to the Great Sun Golden Crows.

Without the aid of a Great Sun Golden Crow, it would be incredibly difficult for her to manifest such a phenomenon.

Conversely, for a Great Sun Golden Crow Sacred Body to evolve into an immortal body, it also required the aid of a Fusang Divine Tree.

「Elsewhere.」

「Hanwu Grotto Heaven.」

Beneath the moonlight, Sen Wei’s graceful figure was revealed.

She was currently packing her bags, preparing to return to the Thunder Saint Academy.

She had also decided to take action and explore the secrets of the [Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster] in hopes of accelerating her own growth.

’Tier Five Elementary... Fang Yang, your growth has truly exceeded my expectations.’ Sen Wei’s gaze was calm.

Before, she could still look down on Fang Yang from a superior position.

She had thought she would remain far ahead of all her peers, becoming an insurmountable mountain in their hearts.

But when Fang Yang stepped into the Tier Five realm, she felt a sudden, sharp tension.

She had once laughed at Fang Yang and Zhang Ye, thinking that for all their fearsome posturing, they were nothing more than hyenas.

But in the blink of an eye, Fang Yang was catching up, about to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her.

She was only one minor realm above him!

At this thought, her gaze turned icy.

It was a coldness directed at Fang Yang, but even more so at herself!

’Even though you’ll reach the Saint realm faster than me because I’m preparing for the Battle of Xuan-Yu...’

’...I *must* reach Tier Five Peak before you do.’

This was Sen Wei’s resolve.

If she couldn’t, then her plan to ’suppress Fang Yang with her own power and force him to treat Xiaohui well’ would become nothing but a joke.

...

「Wind Peng Dojo.」

「Cyan Jade Palace.」

"They’re selecting top prodigies to go to the [Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster] again."

Flames of fighting spirit burned in Fang Hao’s eyes. "This time, I have to fight with everything I’ve got for a spot."

After speaking, he looked at Fang Yang and Fang Min.

Fang Min shook her head, indicating both that she wasn’t optimistic about Fang Hao’s chances and that she herself probably couldn’t go.

If she were still at the Tier Four realm and on the Earth Ranking, she would naturally be qualified.

But now that she was at the Tier Five Elementary realm, she was up against a completely new set of competitors, and the competition was too fierce.

In another five or six years, she might have a chance, but right now, it would be difficult.

As for Fang Yang, he lowered his eyes upon hearing the news.

Whether it was for the inheritance of the [Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram Phenomenon] or the evolution of his Dream Emperor Illusion, he needed to make a trip to the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

If he were to participate in Chenri the Great Saint’s selection, with his talent and aptitude, he would certainly be chosen, regardless of the final selection results.

Who else would be chosen, if not the young Great Saint?

However, it was quite abnormal that neither the Red Flame Demon Country nor the Great Xuan Dynasty had made any corresponding moves regarding the [Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster].

All these strange signs gave him a gut feeling that this was not the right time to head to the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

Just then, the orb of light in his mind representing his [Instinct for Fortune and Calamity] talent flickered and formed words:

[The Dream World stirs the hearts of men, and heroes surge forth with great ambition. Yet times have changed, inviting demonic disaster and human calamity. Killing intent lurks on many paths; it is better to remain still than to act.]

[Neutral Fortune: Do not participate in the selection. Continue to lie low and cultivate within the Saint Institute. Stay out of the storm and watch indifferently as the dragons clash. Do not enter the fray. Outcome: Stable.]

[Worst Fortune: Participate in the selection, proceed to the Daoist Mansion, and enter the cluster of Dream Worlds. You might obtain a Tier Six opportunity, but you will face a great calamity before reaping any rewards. You will be trapped in a perilous situation with unpredictable casualties. Outcome: Dire.]

Two fortunes were presented, with the second being far more dangerous than the first.

The best possible outcome was merely a "Neutral Fortune."

At that moment, Fang Yang’s pupils contracted. He was both shocked and suspicious.

According to the fortunes, his intuition had been correct!

The Red Flame Demon Country, the Great Xuan Dynasty, and other venerable lineages weren’t just not coveting the [Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster]—they were preparing to make a huge move.

They had held back before because they needed to gather more information.

Now, several years had passed, and they had more or less figured out the general situation.

Perhaps Chenri the Great Saint and the others were also aware that the Red Flame Demon Country, the Great Xuan Dynasty, and other powers were eyeing the Dream World cluster like hungry tigers.

After carefully considering the situation again, he decided to choose the Neutral Fortune and not go to the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life for the time being.

He was silent, thinking to himself:

’A Neutral Fortune and a Dire Fortune... Heh...’

’Last time, because of the Dream Emperor Illusion, I couldn’t go to the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life, couldn’t go explore and treasure-hunt in the [Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster].’

’This time, is it because of the impending clash between the venerable lineages? No, perhaps it’s also because I’m a "young Great Saint" who’s currently in the spotlight.’

...

Void Heaven was a real-time trading platform that connected the Eight Domains.

Here, Spiritual Treasures, Sacred Objects, beast hordes, and other priceless natural treasures could be circulated and sold.

This Void Heaven existed both here and on the other shore; even a Great Divine Power User like the Jile Demon Venerable had never been able to find its hiding place.

The way to log into Void Heaven was to infuse a Void Order with immortal essence, thereby connecting to an unseen energy signature in the void.

After this, the wielder of the Void Order could perceive the movements of Void Heaven within their range of awareness and connect to it with their own will to conduct transactions...

Generally speaking, only beings at the Saint level could access Void Heaven.

At the very least, one had to be a Blessed Land Earth Spirit.

At this moment, on a remote island at the northernmost edge of Void Heaven, several black-robed wills of Saints gradually materialized.

These wills of Saints came from various powers, including the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Red Flame Demon Country, and the Jile Demon Sect, among others.

It could be said that aside from the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and the Golden Clan, nearly every venerable lineage was represented here.

"Hmph, the ones the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life intends to trample and slaughter are you, the Red Flame Demon Country, your Demon Race."

"Exactly. What are you old demons still hesitating for?"

"Get moving! The Golden Clan has Longevity Heaven, but doesn’t your Red Flame Demon Country have the Celestial Demon Palace? It’s time for the Celestial Demon Palace to make its appearance!"

Multiple wills of Saints frantically ganged up on the will of the Saint at the center.

This was not the first time they had debated and argued, but this time, the pressure was especially fierce.

Eventually, the wills of these Saints gradually reached a consensus.

The Red Flame Demon Country would act as the public spearhead, while the other venerable lineages would provide support from the shadows.

The general plan was that the Red Flame Demon Country would have to awaken several Great Saints from the Celestial Demon Palace whose lifespans were nearly exhausted.

These Great Saints from the Celestial Demon Palace would wield the Enlightenment Weapon of the Xiyue Demon Emperor, unleash its ultimate divine might, and break open a path into the cluster of Dream Worlds at Burying Moon Mountain!

BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...

「After a long while.」

On the small island, the black shadows dissipated as the wills of the Saints retreated.

Among them, one Saint’s will returned, descending upon the location of the Great Xuan Palace.

A clear breeze blew past, revealing the returnee’s stunning true appearance.

The Great Sun Dragon Lady!

At this moment, the Great Sun Dragon Lady stood with her hands behind her back, gazing in the direction of the Xuan Domain.

Her gaze was profound. ’The ownership of the Great Sun, the Fusang Divine Tree, Yu Zither Immortal, the Immortal Body Phenomenon...’

For no apparent reason, she felt the urge to snatch Yu Zither Immortal and make her her Dao companion!

In short, she could not give Fang Yang the opportunity.

One had to understand that if Fang Yuesheng had received the aid of the Fusang Divine Tree back then, it was hard to say whether her father would have been the final victor.

And though Fang Yang appeared to be on the path of the Kun Peng, seemingly suppressed by Sen Wei and Sen Yue, she had a strong premonition.

This premonition told her that under the entanglement of various strands of fate and the arrangements of destiny, Fang Yang would eventually return to the path of the Great Sun Golden Crow.

She and Fang Yang would represent their respective bloodline origins and carry out their unfinished, fated duel.

Thus, the struggle for Yu Zither Immortal became all the more critical.

And this... was the War of the Great Sun!
