Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

The legacy grounds of the Black Moon Great Saint were even larger than imagined.

Here, there were countless magical Wondrous Realms.

’If it weren’t for the sheepskin scroll Dongfang Xuezhi had given him, Fang Yang felt he almost certainly would have gotten lost in these Wondrous Realms.’

However, aside from special Wondrous Realms like the Soul Falling Black Mountain, if any of the other realms were removed from the Black Moon Great Saint’s legacy grounds, they would basically dissolve into worldly Primordial Qi and be returned to the Xuan Yu Blessed Land.

At this moment, Fang Yang advanced with his clan uncle and sister.

They passed through a Sword Dao Wondrous Realm called the Broken Sword Nest!

The Broken Sword Nest was home to all sorts of sword beasts, a miniature world of the blade.

The sky was filled with Sword Auras, drifting on the wind.

Sword Intent formed into mountain ranges, rising one after another from the ground.

Condensed Sword Qi formed into lightning that struck down at will, its razor edge on full display...

And here, many members of the Changkong Clan were exploring, searching for a Spiritual Object called "Sword Grass"!

Sword Grass was a Sword Dao Spiritual Object.

Refining it helped Sword Dao Cultivators comprehend the Mystical Skills of the sword.

Even more peculiar were the faint rumors that a Sacred Material like the Six-leaf Sword Grass existed within this Broken Sword Nest Wondrous Realm!

This situation made the Broken Sword Nest Wondrous Realm extremely sought-after.

"BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ..."

The Cyan Simurgh Sword at Clan Sister Fang Min’s waist vibrated faintly, letting out a hum as if drawn to this Sword Dao Wondrous Realm.

In the deepest part of this Wondrous Realm, even the two great Dao Seeds, Chen Kui and Jiang Venerable Sword, were gathering Sword Grass!

"Sister Min, are you going to join in?" Fang Yang asked, looking up.

"Haha, of course." Clan Sister Fang Min gave a carefree smile.

Fang Min gripped her Cyan Simurgh Sword in a reverse hold and stepped forward.

Faced with such a Sword Dao Wondrous Realm, she was like a hunter who had spotted her prey, itching to get her hands on all the Sword Grass.

With a SWISH, the phantom of a Cyan Simurgh Bird appeared behind her, spreading its wings and revealing its graceful form.

She wore light cyan armor, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, her body as nimble as a darting fish or a flying bird.

Rather than a battle, it looked more like she was performing a sword dance, possessing a unique beauty that made even Fang Yang praise her under his breath.

"SCREECH—"

Soon, Fang Min found a sword beast erupting with the aura of a Tier Five.

This sword beast had the form of a cyan wolf but sported a pair of snow-white wings.

Its gaze was cold, and every feather on its wings was like a sword.

With a gentle flap of its wings, it could unleash wave after wave of Sword Qi, endless and unceasing.

But Fang Min was utterly fearless. Her body merged with the Cyan Simurgh Bird phantom as she brandished the Cyan Simurgh Sword.

In the span of a breath, she transformed into a Cyan Simurgh and lunged forward.

As she moved, she whipped up a storm of Sword Qi and a rain of Sword Aura light.

She pressed the winged cyan wolf sword beast back step by step, her presence majestic!

Just then, Second Uncle Fang began to speak:

"The Sword Dao has Five Realms: Sword Qi, Sword Intent, Sword Light, Sword Aura, and Sword Force."

"These Five Realms have no specific hierarchy of strength, only different directions to pursue."

"One who masters a single realm can be called a King of the Sword."

"One who masters all five can be an Emperor of the Sword."

"And in the Sen Clan, there is a Great Divine Technique that can help a Cultivator master all Five Realms of Swordsmanship."

"Its name is—the Cyan Lotus Sword Song!"

At this point, Second Uncle Fang turned to Fang Yang and said, "There are rumors circulating that Sen Wei’s third Lifebound Skill is the Cyan Lotus Sword Song!"

’Five Realms of Swordsmanship, the Cyan Lotus Sword Song, Sen Wei...’ Fang Yang lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

So-called Great Divine Techniques usually referred to legacies at the Great Sage Level, or even the Venerable Level.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE—

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the deepest part of the Wondrous Realm, and the Sword Intent Peaks began to shake uncontrollably.

At that moment, Second Uncle Fang looked at the sky and then formed a Magic Seal.

After a long moment, he said with a grave expression:

"The power of the Dao Seeds is spreading, causing a drastic change in the Wondrous Realm."

"In two hours, at most, the restrictive power of the Array here will reactivate and expel everyone!"

Fang Yang, however, narrowed his eyes and gazed into the distance.

’Once again, he felt the true might of a Dao Seed.’

Under Fang Yang’s gaze, more and more people fled from the Broken Sword Nest Wondrous Realm, looking toward its depths with awe-filled expressions.

Among them was Chen Qingrou.

When Chen Qingrou spotted Fang Yang, she was slightly surprised.

But when she saw Fang Min beside him, she seemed to understand.

"The Six-leaf Sword Grass is a Sword Dao Sacred Material, enough to be the main component of a Sword Dao Sacred Artifact. No wonder the two Dao Seeds, Jiang and Chen, are fighting to the death!"

"So this is the legacy ground of a Great Saint. It even has Sacred Materials, and not just one."

"It’s a good thing Hei Liwu and his group couldn’t follow us in, or this great fortune would have likely fallen into their hands..."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves as they quietly moved away from the Broken Sword Nest Wondrous Realm.

The battle between Jiang Venerable Sword and Chen Kui was growing more ferocious. If they didn’t retreat now, they feared they would be caught in the crossfire and suffer for it.

Fang Yang and his companions were no exception.

Fortunately, in the end, Clan Sister Fang Min obtained a Five-leaf Sword Grass Spiritual Object. She was very satisfied, feeling the trip had been worthwhile.

...

「Meanwhile.」

The Profound Kun Returns to the Abyss Wondrous Realm.

Yuming arrived quickly, bringing his cousin Yuxuan with him.

However, they didn’t have the Black Moon Vine Spiritual Object, so there was no way for them to attract the Black Moon Water Kun.

For now, all they could do was hunt the various Water Beasts here.

After hunting Water Beasts for a while, the vast ocean here remained quiet.

Seeing this, Yuxuan frowned deeply. "Brother Ming, will the Black Moon Water Kun really appear here?"

Yuxuan couldn’t help but be anxious—he was a Dao Seed!

The thing he wanted to do most right now was, of course, obtain the Black Moon Illusion Heart Marrow, followed by various Sacred Materials like the Six-leaf Sword Grass.

Of course, the Black Moon Illusion Heart Marrow was extremely difficult to find. According to popular speculation, it would probably only reveal itself at the very end.

"Brother, trust me. Just trust me one more time. How could I dare to lie to you?" Yuming said with an ingratiating smile.

At that moment, Yuming’s heart was filled with resentment.

’If he hadn’t lost the Black Moon Vine Spiritual Object, he wouldn’t have needed to bring his clan brother here.’

’This clan brother of his was no saint!’

...

「Four hours later.」

Fang Yang led his clan uncle and sister, walking slowly into an underground palace.

According to the sheepskin map, they were getting closer and closer to the Profound Kun Returns to the Abyss Wondrous Realm.

The moment Fang Yang’s figure entered the underground palace, the ball of light in his mind began to form words:

[The Black Moon expands. Use the vine as bait to lure the fish ashore. The fishermen are many; it is best to raise a flag and borrow strength.]

[Upper-middle Fortune: Raise a flag and borrow strength. Go to the Profound Kun Returns to the Abyss and fish for the Water Kun. There will be thrills but no real danger. You can obtain a Tier Six opportunity. However, future karmic entanglements may follow. Proceed with caution. Auspicious.]

[Middle Fortune: Keep a low profile. Go to the Profound Kun Returns to the Abyss and fish for the Water Kun. It will be dangerous. If you handle it with care, you can obtain a Tier Four opportunity. Neutral.]

[Middle Fortune: Do not go to the Profound Kun Returns to the Abyss. No harm will come to you, but there will be no risks and no rewards. Neutral.]
