Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 324: Chapter 316: Cherish

Dawn broke, and the sun ascended.

Sunlight pierced the clouds, its dazzling radiance shining upon all things.

Winter gave way to spring, and another year passed.

On the front lines, the tug-of-war over the Dream Worlds was still dragging on.

Sen Wei and the others had yet to be rescued.

Perhaps it was more accurate to say that now, they could only rely on their own abilities to navigate the dreams and awaken on their own. They could no longer be roused by others, as they had been before.

The various troubles on the front lines had little to do with Fang Yang.

At this moment, Fang Yang stood beneath a peach blossom tree, his head bowed as he read a letter.

The letter was from none other than Lu Yao.

[...Your Eminence, I hope this letter finds you well.]

[...This year, another thousand youths in the tribe achieved Enlightenment, and miraculously, a grade-C Spirit Body was even born.]

[...Within the tribe, the population of tribespeople and slaves has now surpassed the fifty-thousand mark.]

[...Our tribe dominates the Beast Rushing Mountain Range and is even expanding outward. Everything is thriving.]

[...Thanks to your prestigious name, the other tribes, and even the scions of the Golden Clans, treat our tribe with great reverence.]

[...]

Item by item, matter by matter.

Lu Yao reported on the state of the White Feathered Eagle Bronze Tribe.

She detailed every aspect of the White Feathered Eagle Bronze Tribe, inside and out, and even the changes among other powers.

Fang Yang read on, nodding lightly.

With the help of Second Uncle Fang, Uncle Qi, and others, Lu Yao had managed the White Feathered Eagle Bronze Tribe so well that it was thriving.

Even some Silver Tribes couldn’t compare to the White Feathered Eagle Bronze Tribe under her governance.

’A population of fifty thousand... It seems the White Feathered Eagle Bronze Tribe has become strong and well-equipped.’

’And I’ve already entered the Tier Five realm. It looks like it’s time to promote the White Feathered Eagle Tribe from a Bronze Tribe to a Silver Tribe.’

Fang Yang narrowed his eyes, a glint flashing within them.

The powers of the Xuan Domain were strictly hierarchical.

The eight great Golden Tribes were held in highest esteem, followed by the Silver Tribes, the Bronze Tribes, and the unranked tribes.

Bronze Tribes required a Tier Four Great Cultivator in the tribe.

Silver Tribes required a Tier Five Great Cultivator in the tribe.

The most powerful Silver Tribes even had Tier Six Saints!

The Golden Tribes, which were the eight great Golden Clans, were the blood descendants of the Thunder Saint Venerable and the undisputed masters of the Xuan Domain.

’As the White Feathered Eagle Tribe grows stronger, the White Feathered Eagle benefits, and so do I.’

’I wonder how much I can advance my Cultivation Realm on this trip.’

Fang Yang put away the letter.

He strode off, heading straight for the Assessment Task Hall.

Within the Thunder Saint Academy, it was difficult for ordinary students to leave for the outside world.

But Fang Yang was different. He was a Young Great Saint, his status lofty.

This time, he planned to take care of his assessment task as well.

That is, he planned to both complete his biennial assessment task and see to the promotion of the White Feathered Eagle Tribe.

’To some extent, wasn’t this... using public business for private affairs?’

...

The Assessment Task Hall.

People came and went.

As soon as Fang Yang arrived, a middle-aged, beautiful woman in a deacon’s uniform immediately jogged over to greet him.

Under the astonished and uncertain gazes of the other students, Fang Yang headed for the inner room of the hall.

"That was... Fang Yang, right?"

"It was him. Otherwise, why would that snooty Deacon Qing come out personally?"

"We have to wait in line to choose our assessment tasks, but he gets to go straight into the inner room and pick whatever he wants..."

Many students sighed.

But they also knew that if they were as formidable as Fang Yang, they would be the ones enjoying such exceptional treatment.

The Celestial, Earth, and Human Rankings were right there. If you had the ability, you could climb them. No need for pointless complaints.

WHOOSH! A watery curtain of light and shadow appeared.

Under Deacon Qing’s control, it moved in front of Fang Yang.

At that moment, Fang Yang lowered his head, touched the screen with his hand, and quickly filtered through the assessment tasks.

’Am I basically a privileged user now, going straight into the internal network to pick my preferred task?’

He mused idly.

He had certainly received such treatment before, but after Sen Wei, Dongli, and the others were trapped, his preferential treatment had skyrocketed.

[Southern region of the Minghai Race, vicinity of Broken Axe Giant City: Sighting of the fiend, the Thought-Devouring Insect. Urgent capture and kill required. Available to students on the Celestial Ranking.]

[Southern region of the Murong Clan, vicinity of the Canglang Island Group: Suspected emergence of the Water Burning Manor Master’s Blessed Land inheritance. Investigate its origins. Available to students on the Earth Ranking and above.]

[Northern region of the Changkong Clan, vicinity of the Thunderstorm Grand Canyon: The demonic cultivator ’Blood-Heart Soul Devil’ has appeared. Urgent kill required. Available to students on the Celestial Ranking.]

[...]

Extremely rare external assessment tasks appeared on the light screen.

Fang Yang lowered his gaze, silently contemplating.

Just as he was seriously considering his options, the [Seek Fortune, Avoid Misfortune] light cluster in his mind appeared, transforming into text:

[Assessment Tasks: Either ride the wind to seek treasure or call down thunder to slay fiends and devils.]

[Upper-Mid Lot: Go to the northern region of the Changkong Clan and eliminate the demonic cultivator. Reward: one Tier Five opportunity. No risk, no future trouble. Auspicious.]

[Upper-Mid Lot: Go to the southern region of the Minghai Race and eliminate the fiend. Reward: one Tier Five opportunity. Act with a low profile for a safe and uneventful journey. Auspicious.]

[Middle Lot: Go to the southern region of the Murong Clan to seek treasure. You will be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire, but while there will be scares, there is no real danger. Reward: one Tier Five opportunity. Neutral.]

At that moment, Fang Yang’s pupils constricted slightly.

He was already thinking of returning to the White Feathered Eagle Tribe, so after a quick comparison, he swiftly made his choice.

He would choose the first moderately auspicious option: go to the northern region of the Changkong Clan and eliminate the demonic cultivator!

"Deacon Qing, I will take this assessment task," Fang Yang said coolly.

Deacon Qing quickly assented and busied herself with the arrangements.

Soon, Fang Yang’s travel itinerary was roughly outlined and uploaded to the Saint Institute’s upper echelons.

Traveling to and from the Thunder Control Great World required passing through the world barrier.

And to pass through the world barrier, one had to be a Saint.

This was a major reason why it was difficult for students of the Saint Institute to go out into the real world.

In other words, for Fang Yang to carry out an external assessment task, he had to be accompanied by a Saint.

In a way, this was also a reflection of his status as a Young Great Saint.

Ultimately, the Saint Institute’s leadership decided that the Saint accompanying Fang Yang through the world barrier would be Layman Shuqing.

’Perhaps Layman Shuqing will also be my guardian for this trip?’

「That night.」

Starlight twinkled. On the eve of Fang Yang’s departure, Sen Hui had specially purchased batches of supplies for Fang Yang to deliver to Second Uncle Fang, Fang Lanxi, and the others.

Sen Hui earnestly warned, "Don’t forget to treat Lu Yao well. Never be the sort to cast aside a subordinate once they’ve served their purpose."

Ever since Sen Wei’s mishap, she had become much more cautious.

Fang Yang agreed, gently stroking her delicate little face.

’A lifetime sounds so long, yet it’s also so short. Without attaining eternal life, everything is ultimately for naught. That’s why, when it came to this relationship, his attitude was to cherish it deeply.’
