Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 338: Chapter 330: Taking the Lead

The majestic Cyan Mountain Main Peak towered into the clouds.

Around it, the other peaks surrounded it like a host of stars paying homage to the moon.

In the sky, the morning light whispered through the many white clouds.

This was a pure, tranquil, and distant place. Even on the faraway peaks, the flapping wings of immortal cranes were a common sight.

This was the Xuanhuang Tai Chi Lingxiao Grotto Heaven.

And Cyan Mountain Main Peak was none other than Cyan Heaven Peak!

’What an incredible Daoist Grotto Heaven,’ Fang Yang praised inwardly.

Here, his understanding of the Golden Tai Chi Diagram was deepening, almost imperceptibly.

At this very moment, he was standing shoulder to shoulder with Yu Zither Immortal beneath a large banyan tree on Cyan Heaven Peak.

Looking out, he could only see a sea of white clouds and mist, with the faint outlines of the other peaks barely visible.

Of course, Sang Xiaowan was not with them.

Although Sang Xiaowan was born with divine gifts, she was still quite young and had not yet reached Enlightenment.

If she were here, it would very likely trigger her Enlightenment prematurely.

For her, premature Enlightenment would bring immense harm and little benefit.

The alliance between the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and the Golden Clan had not yet been pushed to such a desperate point.

Beneath the large banyan tree, Fang Yang and Yu Zither Immortal stood together.

Fang Yang stood with one hand behind his back. The runes in his pupils blazed, and he exuded a vibrant, youthful aura.

Beside him, Yu Zither Immortal’s purple dress fluttered. Her bearing was unparalleled, her beauty almost illusory.

The man was valiant and heroic; the woman, devastatingly beautiful.

What was even more peculiar was the subtle harmony between their auras.

If an uninformed observer were to see them, they would, in all likelihood, jump to the wrong conclusion.

In response to this, Fang Yang leaned forward slightly, subtly shifting his posture from that of a suspected Daoist partner to something more akin to a senior and junior brother-sister pair.

Strangely, Yu Zither Immortal did not react, tacitly allowing Fang Yang to take a dominant role in their alliance.

This was quite incredible.

Yu Zither Immortal was the head of the Celestial Ranking and had always been a person of strong opinions.

Even Fang Yang found her actions a little strange.

But she wasn’t ceding leadership of the alliance for no reason.

She said with a light, musical laugh:

"I’ve heard your Fire Skill is profound and that your mastery of the discipline has already reached the level of a Fire Dao Quasi-Master. That’s truly remarkable."

"If you could obtain an Ancient Fire Dao Scripture that leads directly to the Great Saint realm, I imagine you would soon elevate your mastery to that of a Fire Dao Grandmaster."

"Like the Vermilion Bird inheritance, the Great Sun Golden Crow inheritance, or the Fire Qilin inheritance, for example."

’A Fire Dao Quasi-Master?’

Fang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. In truth, he was already a Fire Dao Grandmaster.

He didn’t yet know Yu Zither Immortal’s true stance, so there was no particular need to reveal his full capabilities to her.

Fang Yang nodded. "The inheritances the Fusang Fairy speaks of are all excellent. If I could really obtain one and cultivate it successfully, that would indeed be wonderful."

Yu Zither Immortal’s eyes lit up. "The world is undergoing great changes now. With the help of the Dream World, practicing these ancient inheritances is not as difficult as it once was..."

Hearing this, Fang Yang lowered his gaze in thought.

But in the next moment, a series of booming sounds echoed through the void, briefly interrupting his thoughts.

He looked up and saw streaks of divine light, like flying shuttles, descending upon various parts of Cyan Heaven Peak.

He thought to himself: ’The siblings Su Dao and Su Xi support each other. Chen Chenye really isn’t close with his senior brother Jiuzhe. And Fu Nuannuan seems to be more than she appears...’

He had at least some knowledge of this group of top prodigies.

Seeing them up close today was constantly updating his understanding and intelligence on them.

And while he observed and assessed others, others were also silently assessing him.

"Fang Yang and Yu Zither Immortal have formed an alliance?" Su Xi was astonished.

The dull mood deep within her heart suddenly became rather complicated.

’That scoundrel Fang Yang really is a marvel, managing to hook up with someone like Yu Zither Immortal.’

"Fang Yang? Sen Yue?" Su Dao narrowed his eyes.

Seeing Fang Yang, Su Dao’s extremely distressed state of mind wavered for a moment.

It was only because he saw a shadow of Sen Yue in Fang Yang, but in the next instant, he became utterly silent.

Today was the day his master, the ’Mansion Master of the Twin Poles,’ would undergo military dissolution.

Even if Sen Yue were standing before him, he would not have an overly intense emotional reaction.

"Fang Yang? Hmph." Chen Chenye’s smile didn’t change, but inwardly, he was sneering.

Chen Chenye harbored malicious intent, looking for an opportunity to secretly eliminate Fang Yang.

It would be best if he could crush Fang Yang’s reputation to build his own fame.

Not only that, but he also secretly coveted Yu Zither Immortal.

’If I could use Su Xi as a cultivation vessel, and Yu Zither Immortal as a cultivation vessel, what level of transformation would I achieve?’

At this very moment, every top prodigy who had arrived at Cyan Mountain Peak had their own thoughts, their states of mind completely different.

In a way, was this not also a stage to test them all?

Their positions were also interesting—clearly divided, with confrontation existing even within their alliances.

Overall, however, the atmosphere still appeared relatively harmonious.

"Fang Yang."

Yu Zither Immortal said softly, "If something major happens in a little while, you just press forward. I’ll hold the rear for you."

She spoke with absolute confidence.

Fang Yang hadn’t yet reacted, but Chenri the Great Saint, positioned at the highest point, was getting a little fed up.

Under the gaze of the Purple Sky Manor Master, Chenri the Great Saint’s eyes fell upon Fang Yang, sizing him up from head to toe.

These few old-timers were the main figures responsible for this "matter of the Mansion Master of the Twin Poles’s military dissolution."

The matter of military dissolution was rather special, so they had not appeared before the public.

Yet now, Fang Yang was repeatedly being scrutinized by Chenri the Great Saint, and even the Purple Sky Manor Master.

It had to be said that, aside from his talent and aptitude, he truly did have some skill.

"DONG..."

On the opposite side of Cyan Heaven Peak, a bell tolled.

The toll was vast and mighty, as if descending from the Immortal Realm. Its sound was continuous, clear, and carried far, instantly dispersing the white mist between the clouds.

It also made the bodies of the many prodigies tremble, as if their very Souls had been cleansed.

At this moment, Fang Yang and the others were all gazing toward the very front.

Su Dao, in particular, had a complex expression of pain, reluctance, and other emotions.

According to legend, military dissolution was a Daoist method of achieving immortality.

It referred to the separation of the Soul from the body when facing extreme danger.

The one undergoing the dissolution would ultimately become a ’ghost’ or ’god,’ a process typically used for cultivation or to reach a higher realm.

But as the environment of the world has continued to change and the substance of eternal life has gradually dissipated, military dissolution is no longer the path to immortality spoken of in Daoist legend.

Military dissolution has gradually evolved into a new ritual—sacrificing oneself to the heavens, the earth, and nature, to interpret the Dao and principles of one’s entire life!

This is an irreversible process.

During this process, the world’s environment would improve, and the Dao rhyme of the one undergoing dissolution would bloom as brilliantly as morning glory, scattering in all directions.

However, because the process is so intense, only top prodigies can hope to gain any enlightenment from it.

And now, the military dissolution had begun!
