Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 248: Chapter 246: Flood Dragon Spirit Blood-Eyes

「Three days later.」

"ROAR—"

A long, furious roar from a Flood Dragon echoed through the wondrous realm of the Ten Thousand Mountains, startling flocks of birds into flight and shattering the very clouds.

On Phoenix Peak, Fang Yang’s heart shook. He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the sky.

He saw a massive, azure Flood Dragon in the heavens, erupting with a brilliant cyan light that nearly filled half the sky.

And high above it, a colossal hand that blotted out the sun and sky was pressing down.

The giant palm seemed to descend from beyond the heavens. Beneath it, phenomena like falling stars and Divine Islands swirled, glimmering with starlight—the manifestation of a Saint’s Great Divine Technique.

It was like the five sacred mountains of the legendary Immortal Realm, profound and oppressive, looming high above as if capable of suppressing all creation.

At that moment, the faces of every living being within the Ten Thousand Mountains turned pale with terror.

"You beast! Do you think you can overturn the heavens?"

A cold snort followed, like the daoist rhythm of the universe, reverberating through the world and causing the mountains to tremble.

BOOM!

The palm struck, instantly shattering the Flood Dragon’s body and dimming the light in its eyes.

A Saint-level desolate beast was suppressed just like that, striking immense fear into all who witnessed it.

In its final moments, the Flood Dragon burned all its blood and soul. Its body erupted with a bloody light, and its blood cascaded like a waterfall, shooting out in all directions.

The dragon’s blood had dyed the great sun black!

"When a whale falls, ten thousand things are born."

Spurred by this great change, all the mountain ranges in the wondrous realm of the Ten Thousand Mountains began to transform.

As Fang Yang watched, the middle section of Phoenix Peak rumbled, and a faint, rosy glow emanated from it.

’It’s time.’ His gaze darkened. He beat his Thunderfire Wings forcefully and shot forward to explore the depths and seek out treasure.

Meanwhile, outside Phoenix Peak, Ji Juyun, who was still gazing at the blackened sun, suddenly shivered.

The phantom of his golden toad appeared before him, a tender pink peach blossom branch in its mouth.

This was the talent of his Spirit Body, which could help him find treasure!

’Oh? A rare treasure has appeared?’

Ji Juyun’s interest was piqued. He immediately began to search his way forward, heading directly for Phoenix Peak.

Besides Ji Juyun, other experts in the vicinity, like Lin Yaoguang and Erzhu Fei, were also searching for treasures.

After all, everyone knew that the desolate beast Flood Dragon’s final act before death was bound to scatter all sorts of rare treasures.

...

One step ahead, always ahead.

While Ji Juyun and the others were still distracted by various Spiritual Objects, Fang Yang had already set his sights on the Tier Six opportunity and had arrived at Phoenix Peak.

At this moment, the middle section of Phoenix Peak was suffused with a rosy glow and wisps of immortal energy.

Standing there, Fang Yang immediately spotted a streak of bloody, treasure-like light darting restlessly through the air.

This bloody light shot about, moving so fast it was almost traceless.

But no matter how incredible it was, it couldn’t escape the confines of Phoenix Peak. It was as if the mountain itself had formed an inescapable net, easily trapping it like a fish.

Seeing this, Fang Yang focused his mind, directing his attention into his aperture and gazing at his Yimu Sacred Spear.

He had intended to use the Yimu Sacred Spear to suppress the bloody light, but the Carp Eagle Divine Feather responded even faster.

BUZZ... The Carp Eagle Divine Feather released a profound, ink-black light that connected with the void, causing a small black hole to appear in his palm.

The small black hole also buzzed, madly sucking in the surrounding air and stirring up a gale.

With the black hole inhaling and exhaling like a Black Kun, the bloody spiritual light, though unwilling, could only be forcibly drawn in.

After three breaths’ time, the bloody spiritual light appeared in his palm, gently floating up and down.

[Blood-Spirit Eyes of the Flood Dragon]

The Blood-Spirit Eyes of the Flood Dragon, on the outside, looked like a small, blood-colored Flood Dragon, its scales and form exquisitely lifelike.

But when viewed with a magical technique, one could see it was actually a pair of shrunken, crimson vertical pupils, radiating a daunting Evil Qi as if they held the ambition to devour the world.

This was a Tier Six Sacred Material. Refining it would be of immense help to those cultivating eye-related Magic and Divine Techniques, such as a Divine Eye or a Celestial Eye.

Once successfully refined, it could be used to perceive the spiritual nature of mountains and rivers, the sun and moon, and lakes and marshes.

It could also perceive the flow of Primordial Qi within a Cultivator’s body, which would be a great aid in combat.

’Looks like I’ll have to find an eye-based technique.’

’Heh, compared to fighting, you’re actually better suited for tomb raiding...’

Fang Yang thought to himself with a faint smile.

A Tier Six Sacred Material was different from a Tier Five Spiritual Object. Even with the Yimu Sacred Spear and the Carp Eagle Divine Feather in his body, he couldn’t possibly refine it in an instant.

So, with a flip of his hand, he put away the Blood-Spirit Eyes of the Flood Dragon and left Phoenix Peak.

In that moment, his thoughts had already turned to Celestial Dragon Peak.

He remembered that a Tier Six opportunity was also set to appear on Celestial Dragon Peak.

However, the opportunity on Celestial Dragon Peak would be exposed early, attracting countless experts to compete for it. Dangers would lurk everywhere, with killing intent at every step.

That was precisely why he had told Sen Wei about it, and not Fang Min or Fang Hao.

A light breeze blew past, and all traces of Fang Yang vanished from Phoenix Peak.

The original rosy glow and immortal energy also gradually dissipated with the departure of the Blood-Spirit Eyes of the Flood Dragon.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Ji Juyun was still searching outside Phoenix Peak. However, once he crossed the mountain before him, he would arrive at Phoenix Peak itself.

"Brother Juyun, we meet again!"

A coquettish voice rang out, so cloyingly sweet it sent shivers down the spine, striking the nearby experts as if they’d been hit by lightning.

Hearing this, Ji Juyun felt a chill of revulsion.

He looked up and immediately saw a woman dressed in a pink immortal robe. Her figure was as round as a ball, and her facial features were squashed together.

Erzhu Fei!

Erzhu Fei, a famous Cultivator, majored in the Earth Dao and minored in the Strength Dao. She was currently at the Tier Five Peak realm. Her Spirit Body was a Grade-A Earth Tyrant Pig, giving her boundless strength and outstanding defense.

Ever since meeting Ji Juyun, Erzhu Fei had been instantly smitten, seeing him as a man of celestial beauty.

Later, upon learning that Ji Juyun had ambiguous relationships with many women, she was emboldened to pursue him relentlessly.

’I’m done for, I’m so done for. If I had known, I never would have made ’Peach Blossom Luck’ my Lifebound Skill.’

’Damn it all, Fang Yang led me astray...’

Ji Juyun’s vision went black. He felt his stomach churn as if the seas were raging within, and he desperately wanted to vomit.

He had once personally witnessed Sen Hui and Chen Ying at an auction, spending a fortune for Fang Yang’s sake, arguing until they were red in the face and at each other’s throats.

It was because of this that he had come up with the idea of using ’Peach Blossom Luck’ as his Lifebound Skill to ascend to Sainthood.

In the years that followed, through successes and failures, he continuously perfected his ’Peach Blossom Luck’ Magic.

In the Changkong Clan, and even in the Thunder Saint Academy, who didn’t call him a love saint, a grandmaster of romance?

But he never expected that at the peak of his game, he would run into Erzhu Fei.

Sometimes, he even wondered if Erzhu Fei only bathed once every ten years.

"Urgh~"

He didn’t dare to linger. Forcibly suppressing his revulsion, he quickly flew away.

When he arrived at the middle section of Phoenix Peak, he found that the spiritual light had vanished.

Seeing this, he instantly understood that a precious treasure had appeared here not long ago.

"Sigh~" He sighed, lamenting that the treasure was not fated to be his.

"Brother Juyun, wait for me~"

The saccharine voice rang out from behind him again, causing veins to pop on his forehead.

He took a deep breath, quickly controlled his emotions, and immediately fled.

He could win a fight against her, but he couldn’t knock her down for good. On top of that, her smell was absolutely disgusting.

Besides, there was no way he would ever use ’Peach Blossom Luck’ on Erzhu Fei.

’I’m not a picky eater—I’ll take anyone who comes my way—but you can’t just throw an Erzhu Fei at me. That’s too ridiculous.’

’That damn Fang Yang. That guy definitely has a top-tier ’Peach Blossom Luck’ technique hidden away.’

’Otherwise, how could gorgeous girls like Sen Hui and Chen Ying fall for a poor kid like him...’
