Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

Purple Cloud Villa.

Ever since witnessing the self-detonation of the Two Poles Great Saint, Chen Chenye had suffered grievous injuries and had been recuperating ever since.

The truth of the matter was rather humiliating.

He had lusted after Su Xi's Primordial Yin and wanted to get with her, which was why he had taken the initiative to become her simp, at her beck and call.

Even though Su Xi gave him the cold shoulder, he never gave up.

Who would have thought that in the Two Poles Grotto Heaven, the ever-vigilant Su Xi would turn the tables and set a trap for him, nearly getting him killed.

And when faced with his own master, the Purple Sky Manor Master's, questions, he couldn't bring himself to explain the real reason.

Now, he was focused on recuperating. He planned to rush to the Dream World battlefield as soon as his life-source was restored.

He would make a name for himself in this great era of strife.

He would use the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life, the Golden Clan, and the Jile Demon Sect as stepping stones, advancing triumphantly to write a new chapter in his own legend.

Su Xi, Fu Nuannuan, Silver Phoenix, and even... Sang Xiaowan!

He wanted to get his hands on all of these stunning women, each with her own unique charm.

Otherwise, he would feel unworthy of his title as the contemporary Demonic Son of Jile from the Heavenly Domain!

"I didn't expect Fang Yang to be the first one to complete his strategic objective."

"But Su Xi is quite impressive herself, managing to gain Fang Yang's complete trust."

The speaker was Jiuzhe.

Hearing this, Chen Chenye's expression subtly shifted.

This was the rare occasion when the Purple Sky Manor Master was expounding upon the Daoist scriptures.

Therefore, disciples like Chen Chenye and Jiuzhe had gathered to listen to the Purple Sky Manor Master's teachings.

And it was because of this that Chen Chenye heard the recent news about Fang Yang and Su Xi.

Chen Chenye barely maintained his composure, but inwardly, he was screaming in a mad rage:

'Su Xi, what makes you worthy of Fang Yang's trust?'

'Did you sell your body, you damn bitch!?'

'AHHHH! Fang Yang, you animal!'

'Su Xi's Primordial Yin, that's mine! It's mine!'

'Fuck, I have to make a move, I have to get moving...'

Chen Chenye's heart felt as if it were being constricted by a python, leaving him with a suffocating sensation.

His face visibly flushed red.

At that moment, he was overcome with jealousy for Su Xi, and even more so for Fang Yang.

He wished he could take Fang Yang's place right now and dominate Su Xi.

He had already made up his mind. He would risk using a Secret Technique of the Jile Demon Sect to speed up his recovery.

He would use this campaign to make a name for himself.

And even... execute Su Xi and... Fang Yang!

「A quarter of an hour later.」

He left the Purple Cloud Dojo, his heart filled with resentment.

After he left, the Purple Sky Manor Master and Jiuzhe spoke.

Jiuzhe said calmly:

"I will need at least three more years before I can enter safely."

"Otherwise, if I'm restricted by the power of heaven and earth, I'm afraid my combat strength would be even lower than that of Linghe and Jiuming."

"I'll have to at least reach Fang Yang's level before I decide whether to step inside."

The Purple Sky Manor Master nodded. "When that time comes, you can help Nuannuan out more."

It was a rare face-to-face meeting, and they discussed many things.

But they never once mentioned Chen Chenye.

It was as if someone like Chen Chenye simply didn't exist in their lineage.

...

In the distant Hong Realm, there existed the behemoth known as the Great Xuan Dynasty.

One could say that the Great Xuan Dynasty was the ultimate evolution of the Yun Dynasty path.

Naturally, the most revered person in this great realm was the current Emperor of Great Xuan.

However, after the appearance of the Great Sun Dragon Lady, the mandate of heaven shifted, and the most revered person became the Great Sun Dragon Lady herself.

At this moment, the current Emperor of Great Xuan came forward, allowing the Great Sun Dragon Lady to obtain intelligence on the Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster battlefield.

The Emperor of Great Xuan said, "Because Fang Yang kept them tied up, Xiaoxi and the others weren't able to cause enough of a disturbance."

As he spoke, an image materialized.

Within the image, the figures of the Seventh Prince and Qi Xuanxian appeared.

The two of them gave their respective reports and transmitted the battlefield images from that day, one by one.

The Seventh Prince swore that if they could maintain the situation from that day, with so many young Great Saints attacking together, Fang Yang would definitely be tied down.

"That easy?"

The Great Sun Dragon Lady frowned slightly.

She didn't believe her plan could be completed so simply.

Right now, she was half-convinced and half-doubtful, not fully trusting the reports from the Seventh Prince and Qi Xuanxian.

The Emperor of Great Xuan nodded lightly. "Aside from Xiaoxi's front, Huo Yingying and the others have been advancing like a tide, making steady gains. The overall situation is improving..."

Hearing about the situation with Huo Yingying and the others, the Great Sun Dragon Lady's tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.

While they had met a small setback with Fang Yang, things were improving on other fronts.

However, she was constrained by Sen Yue's pursuit, an invisible rivalry that resembled a cold war.

This forced her to start devoting more of her energy to her Dream Dao cultivation.

"In that case, have Yingying and the others press harder. Use the advantage in the overall situation to overwhelm Fang Yang's localized advantage."

The Great Sun Dragon Lady replied.

The next moment, her manifested will dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

Seeing this, the Emperor of Great Xuan kept the smile on his face, showing no anger.

He knew very well that, according to the Vast Sea Saint Ancestor:

—Whether their Great Xuan Dynasty could take the next step and ascend the entire Yun Dynasty into the Immortal Realm would all depend on the Great Sun Dragon Lady Primordial Ancestor.

A Yun Dynasty? No, an Immortal Dynasty!

...

The stabilization of the Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster and the placement of chess pieces by various Venerable Daoist lineages brought immense changes to the Eight Domains.

Even the Thunder Saint Academy was affected.

Most notably, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings broke with convention, with the update including figures like Yu Zither Immortal and Fang Yang.

SHIMMER...

Waves of divine light pulsed as three colossal pillars connecting to the heavens rose once more, the scenery shifting around them.

This heralded a change in everyone's rankings.

Among them, Fang Yang's rank skyrocketed, shooting him directly into the top two, second only to Yu Zither Immortal.

[Celestial Ranking: Second]

[Name: Changkong Fang Yang]

[Age: Twenty-eight]

[Spirit Body: Kunpeng Spirit Body]

[Realm: Tier Five Advanced]

[...]

Second on the Celestial Ranking!

"Heavens, is this real?" Fang Hao's head was spinning; he was dizzy with this incredible stroke of luck.

Fang Min beamed. "Second on the Celestial Ranking! Fang Yang will surely become our clan's Dao Seed! The Carp Eagle Blessed Land will return!"

Yu Dieyi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Hiss... Dao Seeds are usually at the Tier Five Peak cultivation level, but if it's Fang Yang, then that might not necessarily be the case."

Yu Dieyi wasn't the only one in disbelief.

At this moment, a shockwave of discussion erupted both on and off the field.

The shockwaves from this event even swept through the Changkong clan.

...

Within the Changkong clan, numerous Saint Ancestors sent forth their wills to discuss whether to make an exception for Fang Yang.

Among them was Qingkong, a newly ascended Saint. He had a certain karmic connection with Fang Yang and was happy to give him a push.

Qingkong said, "Break with convention! He's the Primordial Ancestor of a lineage! We should have confirmed his status as a Dao Seed long ago."

"The ancestral laws cannot be changed! One step back leads to a full retreat," an old traditionalist retorted, his tone firm and resonant.

In truth, many of the Saintly wills present were inclined to make an exception for Fang Yang.

This was especially true for the batch of newly ascended Saints, such as Chen Kui and Jiang Venerable Sword.

But the old traditionalists were unwilling to concede so easily.

Fang Yang's aptitude and talent were indeed terrifyingly high.

But once a breach in the clan's laws and regulations was made for Fang Yang, many other things within the clan would change as well.

They truly did not want to alter the ancestral laws unless it was absolutely necessary.

What was wrong with waiting until Fang Yang reached Tier Five Peak before giving him the title of Dao Seed?

With Fang Yang's aptitude and talent, it would only take three or four years. Could they not even wait that long?

To break this stalemate, a major lineage with a prominent surname would have to be willing to vouch for Fang Yang!

After a round of discussion, the Saints present all turned to look at Sen You.

Sen You, Sen Yue's paternal cousin.

He was also jokingly called Sen Yue's avatar.

He was an extension of Sen Yue's will and a core figure in the Senyue Group.

Under the gazes of the many Saintly wills, Sen You remained silent, showing no intention of vouching for Fang Yang.

At this, the wills of the Saints present trembled slightly.

In the end, due to the internal hesitation, they decided to table the matter for now and stick to the existing rules and regulations.

Ultimately, the most crucial factor was that the Sen lineage had not stepped forward to clearly champion Fang Yang's cause!

Therefore, they were unsure of Sen Yue's and Sub-Venerable Han Wu's opinions on the matter.

...

Afterward, Chen Kui and Jiang Venerable Sword discussed the matter, speculating on the reason.

Jiang Venerable Sword's expression was calm. "Sen Yue wants Fang Yang to do well, but not *too* well. Because Fang Yang has a chance to catch up to, and even... surpass him!"

Chen Kui hesitated. "Surely not? Sen Yue is known for being incredibly magnanimous. He doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Jiang Venerable Sword sneered repeatedly.

"Have you ever seen two capable Emperors holding court at the same time?"

"The Changkong clan, the Golden Clan, Longevity Heaven—in this era, there only needs to be one great sovereign."

"Two would be far too... crowded."
