Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

On the front lines, the flames of war still burned intermittently.

From time to time, Xiao Sanxuan, Zhong Zunyang, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and the others would personally enter the fray.

However, just as Fang Yang had predicted, momentum was fleeting. The first charge is fierce, the second wanes, and the third is spent.

The intensity of the fighting was, in the end, not as ferocious as it had been at the very beginning.

Although the enemy forces also showed signs of shifting between feints and all-out assaults at any moment, with Su Xi's command and control keeping them suppressed, everything remained stable.

Unless something unexpected happened to the three armies led by Yu Zither Immortal, Fu Nuannuan, and Silver Phoenix, the current stalemate was bound to continue for quite some time.

Fang Yang was keenly aware of this.

And so, far behind the front lines, Fang Yang cultivated in silence, increasing his strength.

He might have seemed to be at the center of a great storm, unable to escape.

But in reality, he was as steady as a mountain.

WHOOSH...

In a state between waking and sleep, his consciousness once again descended upon the mysterious star.

As a brilliant flame flared to life, the mysterious star rapidly transformed into the Starry Beast, the Three-legged Crow.

This time, he beat his wings but did not approach the star that looked like an orange-yellow ancient bell.

'It's no use.'

'We're not even in the same league.'

The orange-yellow ancient bell star was merely reawakening on its own, sending out immense sound waves.

And yet, those immense sound waves were like tangible, majestic tides, forcefully preventing him from getting any closer.

He gently exhaled a breath of impure air.

In that instant, a roaring Fierce Flame erupted before him, billowing out into the vast, empty cosmos.

He said no more, simply beating his wings and resuming his hunt for prey.

Perhaps because he was within the dream battlefield of Burying Moon Mountain, he couldn't maintain his deep cultivation for six hours like he could outside.

Now, he could only maintain it for two hours at most.

Sometimes, when he encountered a particularly troublesome Starry Beast or a cosmic storm, he would be knocked right out of his deep cultivation state.

「Two hours later.」

「Inside the Monarch's Camp.」

Fang Yang opened his eyes and laughed heartily. "Not bad, not bad. More progress."

As he spoke, the Kun-Peng phantom within his first vacant aperture blinked its eyes, radiating a mystical quality.

Currently, the eye-region of the Kun-Peng phantom was already 56% refined!

Once he reached 75%, he could advance to the Tier Five Peak realm.

If he completely refined the Kun-Peng phantom's eyes, he could trigger the Saint Tribulation for his first vacant aperture at any time and transcend mortality to become a Saint!

Such progress was truly gratifying.

Of course, if he continued at this pace, it would be impossible to complete the accumulation from 56% to 75% within a year.

'I... have to keep training.'

'I have to get to a Saint's Dream Realm or a Great Sage Dream Realm.'

...

"We're all being pinned down by Fang Yang!"

Qi Xuanxian said hurriedly, immediately stopping the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty in his tracks.

Just a moment ago, frustrated by days of unfavorable battles, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty had gone on another tirade, chewing out the Young Great Saints like Xiao Sanxuan and Zhong Zunyang and scolding them for not trying hard enough.

He even accused them of being afraid to fight, of not daring to charge into battle with him.

No one would accept such baseless accusations.

Besides, the one they truly revered was the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

'And you, this so-called Seventh Prince, dare to throw your weight around and criticize us because of her?'

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the White Tiger Demon Lord was the first to leave.

Xiao Sanxuan, Zhong Zunyang, and the others also flicked their sleeves and left, showing no regard for the dignity of Qi Xuanxian or the Seventh Prince.

The already fragile alliance became even more precarious.

Compared to the other three fronts, theirs had suffered repeated setbacks. It was no wonder the Seventh Prince was getting anxious.

...

"What kind of creature dares to point fingers at me?" The White Tiger Demon Lord's gaze was terrifying.

He had stood a long and boring watch in the Great River of Saintly Spirits without a single complaint.

'And now this Seventh Prince dares to act like he's the leader of the alliance? Heh.'

"However, this is the second time, isn't it?" his eyes gleamed darkly.

It was shocking enough that the Great Sun Dragon Lady had failed against Fang Yang once.

Now, she had failed against him twice in a row. The implications of that were immense.

'If Fang Yang can do it, then why can't I?'

'This Young Venerable... perhaps he isn't as... terrifying as the legends in the Ancient Scriptures claim?!'

At that moment, it wasn't just the White Tiger Demon Lord who was having second thoughts.

Zhong Zunyang was also lost in thought, beginning to re-evaluate the Great Sun Dragon Lady and the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Eventually, even Xiao Sanxuan came to a decision.

'I can't let these guys from the Great Xuan Dynasty completely dominate us anymore!'

...

A single move can affect the entire board.

In this campaign, Fang Yang had achieved his expected victory.

The result was that he and his army had firmly secured their designated strategic position.

This, in turn, forced the Seventh Prince, Qi Xuanxian, and the others to seek outside help.

This piece of intelligence was quickly intercepted by the monarch of the second army, Fu Nuannuan.

"Fang Yang is the first among us four monarchs to achieve his strategic objective?!"

Fu Nuannuan was a little surprised.

Scholar Chuan, who was beside her, gasped in shock.

Scholar Chuan gave a dry cough. Her withered old hands tapped at the empty air, their movements like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

A moment later, her eyes filled with shock. "Not only that, but judging by the strength of the third army, Fang Yang must have averted at least two major disasters!"

'Fang Yang averted two major disasters without anyone noticing?'

The idea sounded utterly bizarre.

But when Fu Nuannuan and her advisors compared it to their own situation, they fell silent.

They knew that what Scholar Chuan said was true!

Right now, they were still locked in a difficult, grinding battle with the enemy forces.

Every day, they lost countless supplies and Dao Soldiers.

The only ones faring better than them were Yu Zither Immortal and her first army.

As for Silver Phoenix and the fourth army, their situation was the worst of all.

Rumor had it that Silver Phoenix's forces were even showing signs of being pushed out of the Burying Moon Mountain World Dream Cluster battlefield!

"Fang Yang..." Fu Nuannuan's beautiful eyes shimmered.

She had to admit that Fang Yang had once again changed her impression of him.

Whether it was due to strength or luck...

...Fang Yang was anything but ordinary!

...

As the intelligence spread, it wasn't just Fu Nuannuan who was thinking about Fang Yang; Yu Zither Immortal was as well.

On the battlefield, Yu Zither Immortal had traded her cyan palace dress for a suit of crimson heavy armor, giving her a solemn and dignified air.

The crimson heavy armor concealed her figure, revealing only a pair of icy eyes that could shake one's soul.

At this moment, she removed her helmet and gazed toward the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's dream realm.

"Fang Yang, I knew it. I knew you would gradually reveal your radiance and astonish the world..."

Yu Zither Immortal's gaze grew brighter.

From the moment she first learned of Fang Yang's existence, she had a different perception of him than others did.

And based on her experiences, whether observing from afar or interacting with him, she knew she had not been wrong about him.

'But...'

She suddenly felt a little curious. If Fang Yang had just entered Tier Five Peak, could he have surpassed her rank on the Celestial Ranking and directly become the number one monarch?

Her competitive spirit began to stir.
