Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

The Water Kun’s Abyssal Returning Mystical Realm was an extremely secret realm located within the Black Moon Great Saint’s inheritance grounds.

It wasn’t located amidst mountain ranges, but hidden within an Underground Palace Dark River.

If not for the guidance of the sheepskin scroll map, Fang Yang would have had to expend a great deal of effort to find this mystical realm.

SPLASH...

The water churned, and waves surged violently.

Water and sky met at the horizon, a vast expanse of blue dotted with only a few islands, stretching out as far as the eye could see.

"Fang Yang, how did you manage to find such a remote and hidden mystical realm?"

Qingmang wore a look of astonishment. "This place... it’s most likely one of the core areas of the Black Moon Great Saint’s inheritance."

The others were also amazed, simply because the location was so unique.

"Perhaps," Fang Yang said, his expression calm. He didn’t elaborate.

Seeing his attitude, Qingmang, and even Qingkong, began to speculate.

Soon, they arrived at a self-assured conclusion: Fang Yang knew about the Profound Kun’s Abyssal Returning Mystical Realm because Sen Hui had told him!

Of course, his uncle and clan sister, who knew Fang Yang possessed the sheepskin scroll map, didn’t think so.

At this moment, Fang Yang and the others stood on the sandy beach of a small island.

An endless ocean surrounded them on all sides.

It was like a solitary island, adrift in the vast sea.

Under everyone’s gaze, Fang Yang slowly stepped forward. With a light wave of his sleeve, he produced the Black Moon Vine, a Spiritual Object.

’The Black Moon Water Kun’s Heart... *Phew*... Calm down, take it slow.’

Fang Yang took a deep breath, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, he channeled his True Essence, activating the Black Moon Vine, and then placed it on the surface of the sea.

The Black Moon Vine erupted with green light, growing and spreading wildly.

One became two, two became four, four became eight...

The Black Moon Vine was like a Zerg broodmother, propagating madly as countless emerald vines scrambled to spread out in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the area around the island was swiftly overrun, becoming a sea of green light.

’This guy’s True Essence... I didn’t expect it to be so pure. It’s comparable to a Tier Four Great Cultivator’s,’ Qingmang thought, his expression grave.

Fang Min smiled faintly. "I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. It seems Ah Yang came prepared. This trip should go off without a hitch."

They watched the back of Fang Yang in his black-and-white Daoist robe, each with different thoughts.

Even Qingkong, who was at the Dao Seed level, watched Fang Yang’s back with a hint of envy.

’To be on the verge of obtaining a Sacred Material, and a top-grade one like the Black Moon Water Kun’s Heart at that... what incredible fortune Fang Yang has!’

’I suppose only someone like Sen Yue would be so generous.’

’At least, I, Qingkong, would never gift a Sacred Material to a junior.’

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

Driven by Fang Yang, the Black Moon Vine continued to spread, like ten thousand snakes surging forth, tirelessly expanding outwards and taking over the water.

Looking ahead, for a moment one couldn’t tell if the expanse before them was green land or the surface of the sea.

And then, as everyone watched, a speck of incomparably brilliant black light slowly rose from the sea’s surface, revealing its form.

The Black Moon Soul Spirit.

The Black Moon Soul Spirit took the shape of a thirty-six-petal black lotus, so lifelike it seemed real. Its entire being radiated a black light that wasn’t gloomy, but rather full of vigorous life.

The Black Moon Soul Spirit was an extremely rare Tier Four Spiritual Object, so scarce it was comparable to a Tier Five Spiritual Object.

This was because it had a very special function: it could cause Spirit Plants and Spirit Grasses to transform and advance in grade.

’This must be the Tier Four opportunity mentioned in the first ’average’ fortune slip.’

Fang Yang understood. ’This is perfect to give to Sen Hui. A gift for a gift, to strengthen our relationship.’

He gave a faint smile and waved his sleeve, stirring up a gentle breeze.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Moon Soul Spirit was swept before him and he collected it with the utmost ease.

He was completely unfazed, as if he had known from the very beginning that this Spiritual Object would appear.

But his action brought immense surprise to the others.

Qingmang was dumbfounded. ’So easily? Why does it feel like this is as easy as eating and drinking for Fang Yang?’

Qingmang was completely stunned.

He suddenly realized that, aside from his Saint Ancestor, he was inferior to Fang Yang in every single way.

And even the advantage of having a Saint Ancestor was indirectly canceled out by the likes of Sen Hui backing Fang Yang.

At this moment, Qingmang fell silent.

He knew that if he couldn’t surpass Fang Yang within the Thunder Saint Academy, he would likely never surpass him in this lifetime.

Beside him, Qingkong was lost in thought.

Qingkong became even more certain that Sen Hui, and perhaps even Sen Yue, were behind Fang Yang’s expedition!

"ROAR..."

"WHIMPER WHIMPER..."

As the Black Moon Vine expanded without restraint, it finally lured out more and more Water Beasts.

The Black Moon Vine had already taken over the waters, greatly disrupting the mystical realm’s original ecosystem and making it difficult for the Water Beasts to survive.

This horde of Water Beasts included swordfish, alligatorfiends, and Blood Sharks.

They were all ferocious and malevolent, with the weakest at Tier Three, and there were even some terrifying Tier Five beasts among them!

Against them, Fang Yang’s usual hawk-swarm offensive would be mostly ineffective.

Seeing that they were about to completely pulverize all the Black Moon Vines and charge straight for the small island, Fang Yang’s gaze turned icy.

’I can’t let you destroy this.’

Immediately, the Thunderous Pill Cauldron and the Fierce Flame Pill Cauldron within Fang Yang’s Void Acupoint True Essence Sea began to glow, unleashing their divine might.

The next moment, a spear formed from condensed Thunderfire Primordial Qi appeared in his right hand.

He turned to the side, gathered his strength, and hurled it with a swing of his arm.

With a BOOM, the Primordial Qi spear tore through the void like a bolt of lightning, obliterating several Water Beasts in one strike.

In an instant, more Primordial Qi spears streaked across the sky, like lightning bolts striking down to punish the region.

Seeing Fang Yang’s mighty display, Qingmang, not to be outdone, activated his own Magic to join in killing the Water Beasts.

Of course, Fang Min would also occasionally intervene to relieve some of the pressure on them.

Under these circumstances, layers of crimson light now stained the water’s surface, no longer just the green of the vines.

Seeing this, Qingkong commented with great interest, "Fang Yang’s strength is truly extraordinary. He really does deserve to be called a ’young saint.’ As long as he develops step-by-step, he can definitely become a prodigy of the Dao Seed Level!"

Second Uncle Fang smiled. "Ah Yang certainly has that potential. However, young friend Qingmang has exceptional staying power. Once he enters the Thunder Saint Academy, I’m afraid Qingmang will undergo another major transformation."

"Haha," Qingkong laughed freely. "If all goes as expected, both of them will rise quickly in the Thunder Saint Academy!"

While they chatted and laughed, the Water Beasts were gradually eliminated, and the Black Moon Vines took over an ever-larger area of the water.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar echoed from beneath the sea.

Fang Yang’s body trembled, and he immediately focused his gaze on the source.

On the distant horizon, the waves churned violently. A massive black fish could be seen stirring up the wind and waves.

The black fish exuded an incredibly profound aura. Inscribed upon the scales of its body were images of the moon in its different phases.

There were full moons, half-moons, and crescent moons...

These moon images seemed to glow, and just looking at them made Fang Yang feel dizzy and disoriented.

When he focused his eyes, he suddenly discovered that the black on the fish’s body was an iridescent black!

The Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun.

The moment Fang Yang saw this Black Kun Fish, he had a realization: this was the creature formed from the Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun.

At that very moment, a boundless aura suddenly erupted from behind them.

The air between heaven and earth seemed to grow moist.

An unexpected guest!
