Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

It was late at night.

Fang Yang stood inside his tent, gazing far to the southeast.

The tent's Array was active, guarding his surroundings.

By now, he had pinpointed the exact location of the dream storm.

And according to the intelligence he had gathered from various sources, he knew very well that the dream storm was still raging.

At the very least, the dream storm would not dissipate for another month or so.

In other words, Chen Chenye would remain within the dream storm for some time.

Although Fang Yang didn't know how Chen Chenye was able to remain safely within a natural disaster like the dream storm.

But now, it no longer mattered.

'After all, the dead don't need to know much.'

"Second aperture, fourth Lifebound Magic—Myriad Dreams Transform and Return to One!"

Fang Yang closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his sleep, he arrived in a mysterious Platinum Space.

Within this space, he could deduce all things in the world, as long as he had sufficient True Essence.

'Deduce Chen Chenye's escape route...'

'Deduce whether Zhang Haisheng is inside the dream storm...'

Piece by piece, intelligence was gathered and analyzed.

One by one, possible scenarios flickered into existence in the Platinum Space.

Fang Yang's gaze was indifferent as he silently observed.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Platinum Space flipped and inverted, transforming once more to form the figures of Chen Chenye and Zhang Haisheng.

This Dream Dao innate Magic, Myriad Dreams Transform and Return to One, possessed the miraculous functions of deduction and simulation, placing it at the very pinnacle of Wisdom Dao School Magic.

Sometimes, when Fang Yang compared it to the [Profound Mystery Realm], he found it was in no way inferior in terms of utility.

One had to know, the Profound Mystery Realm was a true inheritance from the Jile Demon Venerable.

In other words, the several innate Magics from his Dream Emperor phantom were all at this level.

It was no wonder, then, that the "Dream Emperor" was so feared by the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor, and indeed, by the entire lineage of every Venerable.

BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...

Fang Yang was silent, quietly running the simulation.

He simulated a duel with Chen Chenye.

He even simulated a duel against both Chen Chenye and Zhang Haisheng.

Everything went smoothly. By unleashing [Sword-Thought Like a Dream, Heart Without Bounds], he could suppress and kill them the moment they met.

Of course, this was only a simulation, after all.

After all, Fang Yang's intelligence on them was not very detailed.

Therefore, Fang Yang decided he would unleash his ultimate move the instant they met, aiming to annihilate their very souls.

These young Great Saints each had their own trump cards. He had to be wary of his opponents possibly possessing a Resurrection Armor like the Autumn Wind Cicada Treasure Robe.

...

After a round of simulations, Fang Yang opened his eyes and regulated his breathing.

He was restoring the True Essence in his second aperture.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

The True Essence Sea of his second aperture was filled with True Essence.

He then closed his eyes and silently cast a Magic.

"Second aperture, first Lifebound Magic—Sword-Thought Like a Dream, Heart Without Bounds!"

Sword-Thought Like a Dream, Heart Without Bounds was a Magic of both the Sword Dao and Dream Dao schools.

According to Fang Yang's understanding, this Magic even possessed the power of the Cosmic Dao.

Because once he had specific coordinates, he could use this Magic to ignore distance and assassinate an enemy!

'What a terrifying Magic!'

If he didn't actually possess it, he himself would find it hard to believe.

WHOOSH~

Like a gentle breeze, Fang Yang guided his soul into a dream.

In a state between dreaming and waking, a crimson, spiritual figure of light emerged from his body.

This crimson, spiritual figure was intangible and could not be perceived.

And now, the crimson figure leaped lightly, drifting toward the most conspicuous spot—the dream storm.

...

「At the eye of the dream storm.」

Chen Chenye and Zhang Haisheng were sitting and discussing the Dao, letting out bursts of lewd laughter from time to time.

Chen Chenye chuckled sinisterly. "This 'Chart of the Ten Great Artifacts' of yours is truly extraordinary. It's worthy of my collection."

"Sigh, you have no idea. If I were still in the Celestial Domain, I probably wouldn't even be allowed a single glance."

"That so-called master of mine is far too terrifying."

"It's as if he knows my every thought, monitoring me at all times. So infuriating."

The Ten Great Artifacts were a list of "living color and fragrant scents," a ranking for the union of Yin and Yang, devised by the Jile Demon Venerable.

They were: the Spring Water Jade Pot, the Kiss of the Paired Fish, the Overlapping Verdant Peaks, the Dew Flower Rain, the Jade Tiger, the Jade Vortex Phoenix Suction, the Water-Swirling Chrysanthemum, the Heavenly-Scented Black Silk, the Jade Clam Holding a Pearl, and the Corridor of Nine Bends.

For example, the Spring Water Jade Pot, as its name implied, would release a great torrent of water when tipped.

The Overlapping Verdant Peaks, for instance, used the imagery of mountain ranges as a substitute to describe the complexity of its paths.

Obtaining just one of these Ten Great Artifacts could make one live as if in a drunken dream, surpassing all the countless splendors of the mortal world.

Zhang Haisheng's mouth went dry. "Demon Scion, from what I can see, I'm afraid Su Xi possesses one of the Ten Great Artifacts."

The Jile Demon Venerable collected women from all over the world and was profoundly skilled in the art of judging them.

Naturally, the Jile Demon Sect possessed the corresponding techniques for identification.

And this was precisely why all the major orthodoxies would condemn and attack any member of the Jile Demon Sect on sight.

Furthermore, as far as Zhang Haisheng knew, the world not only had the Ten Great Artifacts, but also the Three Great Spears.

...

Just as their discussion was heating up, Fang Yang descended upon them silently.

At that moment, a great terror filled the hearts of Zhang Haisheng and Chen Chenye, and they felt a world-ending catastrophe descend upon them.

Just as they feared, the dream storm erupted, gathering and taking form.

With a hum, a colossal Red Gold Ruyi Sword crushed down upon them, about to cleave Zhang Haisheng and Chen Chenye in two.

Beneath the Ruyi Sword, endless Sword Auras spread out, radiating a murderous intent as inescapable as a prison and as vast as the sea.

Zhang Haisheng roared, his body wreathed in Yin and Yang Qi. A Sea God Divine Aspect materialized behind him, wielding a trident, attempting to break through the world of Sword Auras.

Chen Chenye remained motionless, but the 'Chart of Living Color and Fragrant Scents' beside him was torn asunder, unleashing an endless, violent gale that threatened to rip everything apart.

But...

It was all useless!

The Crimson Immortal Sword annihilated them both.

Zhang Haisheng died on the spot, his body and soul utterly destroyed, devoured by the dream storm.

Chen Chenye died once, only to be resurrected by a Divine Talisman.

But the Divine Talisman shattered into ash, and he was powerless to turn the tide, ultimately perishing.

Dead.

Both of them were utterly and completely dead.

It was incredibly easy; he had barely made a move.

...

'The Ten Great Artifacts? Chen Chenye was a Jile Demon Scion?'

Fang Yang was inwardly surprised.

Immediately, he opened his eyes, a single brow arching.

To be honest, he had suspected Chen Chenye might be a traitor.

But he truly had not expected Chen Chenye to also be a universally condemned Jile Demon Scion.

Come to think of it, whether directly or indirectly, two Jile Demon Scions had now died at his hands.

The first was Muri Shengkai.

The second was Chen Chenye.

Thinking back on the Jile Demon Sect, Fang Yang's gaze grew profound.

The Jile Demon Sect was the lineage left behind by the Jile Demon Venerable, and the Jile Demon Venerable was an otherworldly demon.

Heh, because of the Jile Demon Venerable, otherworldly demons had a truly infamous reputation in this world.

Any who were discovered would be fanatically hunted down by the natives of this world, their souls searched and their lives reaped.

...

「Not long after.」

Zhang Haisheng and Chen Chenye both failed to appear for a long time.

Soon, everyone understood that the two young Great Saints had most likely perished, devoured by the dream storm.

When this consensus was reached, Silver Phoenix sighed, Su Xi was faintly pleased, and Fang Yang remained calm.

On the other side, the Eldest Princess was silent, the White Tiger Demon Lord was wary, and Cha Mo's thoughts were the most complex of all.

In that moment, Cha Mo's expression shifted again and again.

He had known something of Chen Chenye and Zhang Haisheng's plans.

So he knew very well that Zhang Haisheng and Chen Chenye should not have perished in the dream storm.

And yet, that was the reality of it.

"To be too clever in one's scheming is to instead forfeit one's own dear life."

For no reason at all, Cha Mo suddenly recalled a famous quote from the Jile Demon Venerable.

He sighed inwardly, lamenting the loss of two fellow practitioners.

It really was best to maintain a sense of reverence and awe for natural disasters like the dream storm.

...

「Longevity Heaven.」

Sen Yue was still cultivating.

In the midst of his training, Sen Yue happened to learn of Fang Yang's miraculous display of power, turning the tide against all odds.

At that moment, his thoughts grew profound.

He was not Han Wu Sub-Venerable; he was Sen Yue.

In his eyes, his father, "Han Wu Sub-Venerable," was not ruthless enough, nor was he domineering enough.

Otherwise, if he possessed his father's power right now, he would directly launch a massive war and throw the Eight Domains into violent turmoil.

'Ah Yang, I really don't want to make Xiaohui unhappy. I hope you know what's good for you...'

He sighed inwardly, but his resolve hardened.

Immediately, he closed his eyes and resumed cultivating a brand-new Dream Dao Magic.

He had now reached the ordinary level of attainment in the Dream Dao School!
