Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 356: Chapter 348: Envy

Thunder Saint Academy.

Bai Zhi Dojo.

Inside a small cabin, only a few people were present: Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint, Sen Hui, Caiwei, and a few others.

At that moment, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint was explaining the principle of herbal affinity and convergence to her disciples.

She was even using the ingredients of a Tier Five pill, the Cold Bone Pill, as a practical example for her lesson.

Suddenly, the teaching rod in Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint’s hand froze in mid-air, and the words coming from her mouth ceased.

The young women looked up at her, confused.

A stunningly beautiful smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaohui, Fang Yang has reached the Tier Five Advanced realm. And he has transformed into a perfect-grade Kunpeng Spirit Body."

BOOM—

The news struck them like a bolt from the blue.

Upon hearing this, every woman in the room was stunned speechless, wondering if they had misheard.

Of course, they all knew who Fang Yang was.

Not only that, but each of them had interacted with him to varying degrees.

Whether it was Fang Yang reaching the Tier Five Advanced realm or him transforming into a perfect-grade Kunpeng Spirit Body, either piece of news was astonishing on its own.

And now, they were hearing both earth-shattering announcements at the same time.

This wasn’t a simple case of one plus one equals two; it was a compound, explosive effect.

Incredible.

Utterly incredible.

Logically, a Cultivator’s progress should be like water dripping on a stone—the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes.

This rule applied to Fang Min, to Dongli, to Sen Wei...

But Fang Yang was like a monster who had appeared out of nowhere, creating one miracle after another.

The speed of his cultivation growth was unnaturally accelerating.

Now, he had even forged his own path.

He had become a living Kunpeng, a true progenitor of his own bloodline!

Hearing this, Sen Hui shot to her feet.

Her face lit up with joy. "This is wonderful, just wonderful..."

For a moment, her words were a jumbled mess.

It was clear how happy she was for Fang Yang’s achievement.

But no one in the room—not Caiwei, Cairou, or Xuezhi—laughed at her.

They all just watched her with eyes full of envy.

If they put themselves in Sen Hui’s shoes, they would likely have reacted even more poorly than she had.

Caiwei lowered her gaze, thinking, ’Fang Yang is advancing by leaps and bounds, unlike any mortal. Sigh... Dongli, when will you escape from the Dream World?’

Meanwhile, Xuezhi watched Sen Hui, grinding her teeth.

The image of Fang Yang’s cool and detached figure couldn’t help but surface in her mind.

Back then, her and Fang Yang’s realms were more or less on par.

She could even leverage her slightly higher realm to suppress him a little.

But in the blink of an eye, Fang Yang had caught up to her, then surpassed her.

Now, he had left her so far behind that she couldn’t even see his shadow.

’If I told anyone I once competed with Fang Yang, no one would believe me.’

Sigh...

"Hehe."

Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint chuckled lightly. "Xiaohui, this is a letter from Fang Yang for you. Don’t be so anxious."

Immediately, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint took out a Void Order and logged into the Void Heaven.

Seeing this, Caiwei, Cairou, and Xuezhi’s feelings grew even more complicated.

In the path of the Alchemist Doctor, they couldn’t compare to Sen Hui.

’Don’t tell me our judgment in choosing a partner is also inferior to hers?’

...

News of Fang Yang’s feat continued to spread far and wide.

"Hmph, hmph."

Fang Min folded her arms proudly, a smug smile on her face as she looked at Yu Dieyi.

She said with immense pride,

"Dieyi, I know you think I’ve gone crazy, that I’m just blindly following Ah Yang."

"But what you don’t know is that I’ve truly seen that vision of Ah Yang."

"Endless, brilliant golden light, a heroic figure that blotted out the sky..."

As she spoke, her expression turned fanatical.

But as Fang Hao and Yu Dieyi looked at her, they could no longer find any words to refute her.

Because Fang Yang had already proven with his actions that he truly had what it took to vie for the peak!

Fang Min extended her hand and said,

"Dieyi, stop overthinking things. Just follow me and work hard."

"Under Ah Yang’s brilliant guidance, you might even have a chance to touch the Saint realm."

’Such arrogant words!’

’Empty promises!’

But for some reason, Yu Dieyi’s heart began to pound wildly.

Thinking of Fang Yang’s glorious achievements, Yu Dieyi was swayed.

She licked her dry lips and subconsciously reached her hand out toward Fang Min.

In a flash, Fang Min grabbed it tightly.

「At the same time.」

The Changkong clan.

Within the core palace of the Sen lineage.

Sen Yue and the current matriarch of the Sen lineage were discussing Fang Yang.

The current Sen matriarch was the mother of Sen Yue and Sen Wei, as well as Sen Hui’s nominal mother.

Although Sen Hui was born of a concubine, Mrs. Sen still treated her as her own.

Sen Yue said with admiration, "To think Fang Yang was this capable. It seems I underestimated him."

Mrs. Sen smiled. "Hehe, since he was able to gain your father’s approval, he was naturally never going to be simple. It seems that once he becomes a Saint, he can try to attain the legacy of the Kunpeng Treasure Skill."

"The Kunpeng Treasure Skill..." Sen Yue fell silent.

Because the Kunpeng Treasure Skill was rumored to have been passed down to this world from the Immortal Realm by the Thunder Saint Venerable, he was deeply invested in this legacy.

A few years ago, he had tried to attain this legacy himself.

In the end, however, he failed to gain the recognition of the Changkong Treasure Vault’s divine spirit.

Now, learning of Fang Yang’s growth gave him a sliver of hope.

"Yue’er, it’s better to master one thing than to grasp for everything."

Mrs. Sen advised him again, "During your Hundred-Year Celestial Mandate, you must do everything you can to reach the Tier Seven Peak realm and forge an Immortal Body."

Sen Yue nodded lightly, not refuting her words.

Although he possessed the Hundred-Year Celestial Mandate and was a Young Venerable, it didn’t mean he could rest on his laurels.

Especially with the coming of a new great era, existences like him were the easiest targets!

If he dared to slack off, falling on his cultivation path was no empty threat.

Compared to others, he needed to increase his strength even more desperately!

...

Longevity Heaven.

The world thundered as great waves of power surged.

"Fang Yang really forged the path of the Kunpeng?!"

A tremendous, trembling voice shook the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, ancient tombs began to tremble, and numerous ancient Great Saints, sealed away for ages, climbed out of their graves.

"Unbelievable."

"Fang Yang? He’s only twenty-eight, isn’t he?"

"He achieved Enlightenment at fifteen... tsk, tsk. He’s been on the path of cultivation for less than twenty years, yet he’s accomplished such a feat. What terrifying talent is this?"

"The Kunpeng... one of the Thunder Saint Ancestor’s greatest regrets. To think it would be revived by Fang Yang."

"Remarkable, truly remarkable. I thought he would revive the glory of the Great Sun Golden Crow and be locked in an endless struggle with that Great Sun Dragon Lady."

"The progenitor of a bloodline. The master of a newborn lineage."

"Not only that, but it’s the Kunpeng bloodline. If he’s allowed to grow steadily, he’s virtually guaranteed to become a Great Saint, and might even be able to touch the barrier of a Tier Nine Venerable."

"Have him marry many women and spread his lineage! We absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to the Kunpeng bloodline!"

"Raise his ranking! Place him above Muri Guang Huang and Yu Zither Immortal! No, put him on par with Sen Yue!!"

"..."

The entire place was in a complete uproar.

The last time such a scene of Saints reawakening had occurred was when Sen Yue became a Young Venerable.

This time, it was because Fang Yang had miraculously become the progenitor of a bloodline—and a special one like the Kunpeng, at that—which prompted the Saints to reawaken.

But regardless, Fang Yang had ultimately accomplished something on the same level as Sen Yue.

At this moment, the Sen family’s ancestor, Sen Hao, listened to the discussion. His mouth was dry, but he found it difficult to say anything.

In truth, he wanted to fight for the interests of his descendant, Sen Hui.

But the moment he suggested that Fang Yang was a devoted person who might not be willing to spread his lineage, his companions simply ignored him.

All one could say was that Fang Yang was a dark horse who had just shocked the world.

No one had ever expected that Fang Yang wouldn’t revive the path of the Great Sun Golden Crow, but would instead actually walk the path of the Kunpeng—and succeed!

「Elsewhere.」

Void Heaven.

On the corner of a certain island.

The opposing faction, led by the Great Sun Dragon Lady, convened another meeting.

Saints from the venerable lineages of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Red Flame Demon Country, and the Jile Demon Sect gathered once more in the Void Heaven.

This time, the topic of their discussion was none other than how to ambush and kill Fang Yang!

This was incredible.

Previously, their discussions had centered on breaking through the defenses of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life or invading the Burying Moon Mountain’s cluster of dream worlds.

Since when was a little guy like Fang Yang, who hadn’t even become a Saint, worthy of so much of their attention?

Fang Yang was indeed the master of a bloodline, but didn’t they have the newly-emerged White Tiger on their side?

However...

"Don’t blame me for not reminding you—Fang Yang is only twenty-eight years old this year!"

The Great Sun Dragon Lady sneered.

In that instant, the hearts of the many Saintly Wills in attendance went cold.

At the Great Sun Dragon Lady’s reminder, all the Saintly Wills began to re-evaluate Fang Yang!
