Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 359: Chapter 351: The Righteous Leader Sequence, the Third Commanding Monarch

Dawn had not yet broken, and the sun had not yet risen.

The eastern sky was only just beginning to pale.

"RUMBLE..."

"RUMMMBLE..."

Streaks of divine light shot across the heavens, descending upon Qingshan Villa.

These divine lights were, in fact, the forms of top-tier prodigies.

It was common knowledge that in the upcoming great war in the Burying Moon Mountain Dream World, every young Great Saint would lead their own troops.

But no matter how great the difference between these young Great Saints, none could single-handedly fight ten, let alone a hundred, opponents.

If such a thing were to happen, they wouldn’t be a young Great Saint, but a Young Venerable!

Thus, under these circumstances, the existence of an "organization" was particularly important.

Right now, the alliance between the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and the Golden Clan was mobilizing before the war.

The two sides were establishing a core group, standardizing the leadership, and preparing to unleash the "power of the masses."

"Su Xi is here! Her Sword Qi is incredibly sharp. She truly lives up to the name White-clothed Sword Immortal."

"Fu Nuannuan has arrived too. With her holding the line, we definitely won’t be short on Talismans."

"Wait, is that Silver Phoenix’s silhouette? She actually showed up? Am I seeing things?!"

"..."

As one top-tier prodigy after another arrived and descended...

...a small stir would ripple through the Daoist academy’s plaza in Qingshan Villa from time to time.

Su Xi, Fu Nuannuan, Silver Phoenix, Yu Zither Immortal...

When Fang Yang’s figure appeared, the entire crowd fell silent and rose to their feet.

Even the young Great Saints were no exception.

The Primordial Ancestor of a lineage!

The Kunpeng Ancestor!

It could be said that if Sen Yue hadn’t already seized the fortune of the Xuan Domain, the one to become a Young Venerable would, in all likelihood, have been Fang Yang!

The Primordial Ancestor of a lineage—and the Kunpeng lineage at that.

The weight of this title was beyond question.

If they showed a better attitude toward Fang Yang now, perhaps he would be willing to take a risk and lend a hand to save them on the dream battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Su, Fellow Daoist Fu..."

Fang Yang smiled and nodded.

At that moment, it was as if everyone was revolving around him, like stars orbiting the moon?!

This was an incredibly rare sight.

Under everyone’s gaze, he walked to his seat, which was ranked among the very top.

From the age of fifteen, when he achieved Enlightenment and set foot on the path of cultivation, to now, at twenty-eight, when he had gradually established his power.

The journey had not been easy.

It could be said that he had endured a great many trials.

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Eagle Boy who could once only drift with the current had now grown into the Kunpeng Ancestor, a figure akin to a leader of the righteous path?!

This transformation left one sighing with emotion.

Even Fang Yang himself hadn’t expected that the day he would become a monarch of a different kind would arrive so soon.

"Fellow Daoist Yu?"

Elsewhere, upon hearing this, Yu Zither Immortal sighed in her heart.

’Is Fang Yang still unwilling to call me Zither Immortal?’

’Heh.’

At this thought, however, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

...

"BOOM!—BOOM!—RUMBLE!"

Before long, a tremendous clap of thunder erupted in the sky, drawing the gazes of Fang Yang, Yu Zither Immortal, and the others.

As they watched, the void seemed to be forcibly torn open.

Immediately, a brilliant mass of purple light burst forth, evolving into an illusory Thunder World.

The Thunder World shattered piece by piece, transforming into two figures.

The Purple Sky Manor Master! Chenri the Great Saint!

The Purple Sky Manor Master strode through the air. As he walked, thunder and fire seemed to flow beneath his feet, causing space to tremble continuously and making everyone’s expression turn grim.

For some reason, Fang Yang felt that the Purple Sky Manor Master had given him an extra glance, as if warning him about something.

At this moment, the Purple Sky Manor Master was dressed in the robes of a Celestial Master, with a handsome face and a dashing figure.

He said calmly:

"I’m sure you all know that we intend to appoint four Commanding Monarchs. With these four as the core, we will continually push forward."

"There’s no need to speculate any further. I will tell you now who these four people will be."

"The first Commanding Monarch: Yu Zither Immortal, possessor of the Fusang Divine Tree Sacred Body. Her cultivation realm is Tier Five Peak."

"The second Commanding Monarch: Fu Nuannuan, possessor of the Sacred Body of the Bamboo of Ages. Her cultivation realm is early Tier Six."

"The third Commanding Monarch: Fang Yang, possessor of the Kunpeng Spirit Body. His cultivation realm is Tier Five Advanced."

"The fourth Commanding Monarch: Silver Phoenix, possessor of the Frost and Snow Phoenix Sacred Body. Her cultivation realm is Tier Five Peak..."

Of these four, all except Fang Yang possessed a Sacred Body.

Among them, Fu Nuannuan was even at the early Tier Six realm, a new-generation Saint.

In truth, Jiuzhe, Su Dao, Light Phoenix, and others were just as famous as Fu Nuannuan.

However, due to certain restrictions, these new-generation Saints would have to wait a while longer before they could suppress their realms to Tier Five Peak and enter safely.

Otherwise, if they were to force their way in, they would suffer suppression from the world’s rules, which could lead to their downfall at the hands of powers like the Great Xuan Dynasty.

As for why Fu Nuannuan could enter, it was because her Sacred Body’s Dharma Aspect was rather special.

Of course, Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady could also enter early like Fu Nuannuan.

It’s just that the consequences would be quite severe.

More than likely, they would be insta-killed the moment they showed their faces!

"What? Fang Yang is a Commanding Monarch too?"

At this, Su Xi’s beautiful eyes widened, her rosy lips parting slightly.

The other top-tier prodigies were also quite surprised to hear this.

"Yeah, and he’s ranked above Silver Phoenix as the third Commanding Monarch!"

"His rise has been too fast. It’s truly unexpected."

"Calm down, calm down. The seniors’ arrangements must have their reasons."

"Indeed. There’s no need to panic..."

A brief clamor arose in the plaza before quickly dying down.

Although Fang Yang’s ranking seemed abrupt—since he only had a Tier Five Advanced cultivation—

in the end, everyone came to accept it.

They were all well aware of the great significance the Kunpeng lineage held within the Golden Clan.

Moreover, they all trusted the judgment of the Purple Sky Manor Master and Chenri the Great Saint.

Besides, if Fang Yang didn’t have the strength to back it up, Han Wu the Sub-Venerable would never have let him stand out.

Standing out right from the start, while it could bring greater benefits, also meant becoming a target that drew all the fire.

Based on this consideration, many people were now looking forward to one thing:

’If Fang Yang’s realm were to advance to Tier Five Peak, wouldn’t he surpass Yu Zither Immortal and become the first Commanding Monarch?’

’I’m the third Commanding Monarch...’ Fang Yang’s sword-like brows twitched.

He had actually known about the matter of establishing four Commanding Monarchs.

What he hadn’t expected was that he would become one of them in one fell swoop, and ranked third at that.

Such an achievement was quite remarkable.

It seemed that in the assessment of the Purple Sky Manor Master and the other Great Powers, his strength on the Dream World battlefield would be far beyond the standard.

One could only say that after transforming into the Kunpeng Spirit Body, he had truly reached a new level.

"Ahem."

The Purple Sky Manor Master cleared his throat and continued, "Now, for the marching orders for the four Commanding Monarchs..."

Hearing this, Fang Yang narrowed his eyes and listened intently.

The next moment, the "Seek Fortune, Avoid Misfortune" light cluster in his mind flickered:

[The Dream Realm stabilizes, great changes are coming. Man-made calamities and demonic disasters arrive together. The killing intent is like a prison; the future is uncertain.]

Then, three fortune predictions appeared:

[Average-Good Fortune: Head to the eastern part of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor’s Dream Realm Mountain Range. Traverse the Great Wilderness, let nature take its course, and you can obtain a Tier Five opportunity. No worries about what lies behind. Auspicious!]

[Average-Neutral Fortune: Head to the eastern part of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor’s Dream Realm Mountain Range. Enter via Zongtian Mountain, Pingdi Mountain, and Hengren Mountain. There will be scares but no real danger. Nothing gained, nothing lost. Neutral.]

[Average-Bad Fortune: Head to the eastern part of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor’s Dream Realm Mountain Range. Follow the Great River of Holy Spirits downstream, rushing into the river. You will be caught in a storm, powerful enemies will attack. Perils abound. Inauspicious.]
