Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

The Golden Crow Saint Fan transformed into the progenitor nexus of hurricanes and flames, while the Flame Robe became the progenitor nexus of mountains and rivers.

A host of Sacred Artifacts and Lifebound Skills each anchored a corner of the Blessed Land.

Of course, the most eye-catching were the Golden Crow Dharma Aspect and the Kunpeng Dharma Aspect.

'Small, but perfectly formed.'

'My Celestial Destiny Blessed Land can now, for the most part, form a harmonious ecosystem.'

'However, my Blessed Land Wondrous Realm is still mostly concentrated in the Little Profound Domain.'

Fang Yang lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

Essentially, the Celestial Destiny Blessed Land was a reflection of the origin of the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth, equivalent to a nascent version of them.

Therefore, he named the various regions within his Celestial Destiny Blessed Land after those in the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth.

To distinguish them, he simply added the word "Little" to their names.

As he mulled this over, many ideas surfaced in his mind.

Soon, he closed his eyes and began to take stock of his ascension to Sainthood.

He had gained a great deal from this ascension.

The first gain was Sacred Artifacts.

In the Changkong Treasure Vault, he had used his Celestial Destiny authority to seize a host of Tier Six and Tier Seven Sacred Materials.

While he was at it, he had restored the Yimu Saint Spear to the Tier Seven rank.

Not only that, but he had also successively refined Sacred Artifacts like the Flame Robe and the Golden Crow Saint Fan.

Most importantly, he had truly manifested the Donghuang Chaos Bell!

With the Donghuang Chaos Bell's support, he was now a true Great Sun Golden Crow.

The second gain was intelligence.

During the battle for the Donghuang Chaos Bell's emergence, he had fought and defeated the imprint of the previous Great Sun Golden Crow.

He had taken another step forward on the path of the Golden Crow Dao.

And in the battle for his ascension to Sainthood, he had engaged in major duels with the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor and the Ten Thousand Flames Saint Venerable.

His understanding of these two Venerables had deepened.

He had gained a preliminary grasp of their methods and combat systems.

Even better, he could use the [Simulation Space] to repeatedly reenact that day's duels.

Perhaps one day, he could even pass himself off as a disciple of the two Venerables.

He had the prospect of using a new identity to do things that were inconvenient to do as himself!

The third gain was his attainments in various schools of cultivation.

His attainments in the Water Dao and Soul Dao had both reached the Grandmaster level.

His Sword Dao attainment, in turn, also reached the Grandmaster level.

Through this, he had saved himself an unknown number of years of arduous effort.

The fourth gain was also his greatest.

His cultivation base had advanced, and he had become a Saint.

This was a qualitative transformation in his level of existence!

In terms of lifespan alone, he had crossed the five-thousand-year mark.

Even ordinary Great Saints probably couldn't live as long as him.

Moreover, his Celestial Destiny Blessed Land reflected the origin of the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth, possessing its own profundity.

Within the Celestial Destiny Blessed Land, he could freely use the method of [Igniting the Divine Fire] to systematically shepherd all living beings.

Barring any accidents, he would never have to worry about his lifespan again.

'Perhaps for my First Aperture's sixth Divine Technique, I should consider one that offers a burst of power by burning my lifespan.'

'If so, I can start with the Celestial Eagle Cross Spear.'

A glint flashed in Fang Yang's eyes.

For the Practitioner realm, from Tier One to Tier Five, it is generally accepted that one cultivates Magic.

These are called, in order: the First Magic, the Second Magic... the Fifth Magic.

For the Saint realm, from Tier Six to Tier Eight, because Saints are transcendent beings with vast powers, it is generally accepted that they cultivate Divine Techniques.

These are called: the First Divine Skill, the Second Divine Skill, and the Third Divine Skill.

In either case, whether it's one's Magic or Divine Skills, they will evolve along with the Cultivator's growth.

Non-Lifebound Magic, however, does not receive this treatment.

...…

"Hooo..."

After some thought, Fang Yang let out a slow breath.

He now prepared to use the Void Order to ascend to Void Heaven and purchase numerous supplies.

Void Heaven was a real-time trading platform that connected the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth.

Spiritual Treasures, Sacred Objects, beast hordes, and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures could all be circulated and sold here.

According to legend, Void Heaven was a small world created by a mysterious Great Power using supreme Great Divine Techniques.

The existence of Void Heaven was faintly related to the legendary Immortal Realm.

It was both here and on the other side—mysterious, profound, and unobservable.

Even a Great Divine Power User like the Jile Demon Venerable had never found its hiding place.

Its main currency was something called the Immortal Essence Stone.

Immortal Essence Stones were obtained from the Heaven beyond the Heavens and contained a peculiar substance.

Immortal Essence Stones allowed Saints to rapidly recover their Immortal Essence, making them the universal currency among Saints.

Normally, the Immortal Essence contained within a Tier Six Saint is called Cyan Raisin Immortal Essence, and it is produced by the origin of their Immortal Acupoints.

Saints above Tier Six produce a higher level of Immortal Essence: Red Date Immortal Essence.

If a Saint were compared to a super mecha, then Immortal Essence of different qualities would be their corresponding energy sources.

Tier Six: Cyan Raisin. Tier Seven: Red Date. Tier Eight: White Lychee.

The higher the quality of the Immortal Essence, the greater the enhancement it provided to a Saint.

The quality of this Immortal Essence was also a major reason why it was difficult for Low Tier Saints to defeat High Tier Saints.

One can imagine just how precious Immortal Essence Stones were.

To get back on topic, the way to log into Void Heaven was for a Cultivator to infuse a Void Token with Immortal Essence, connecting with an unseen mechanism in the void.

By doing so, a Cultivator could capture traces of Void Heaven within their perception.

They could then communicate with Void Heaven using their will to conduct transactions...

"Hm?!" Fang Yang's brow furrowed slightly.

At the same time, in his mind, the [Seek Fortune, Avoid Misfortune] ball of light transformed into text:

[Heaven and Earth are incomplete, Void Heaven beckons, the origin reappears, enshrouded in mist.]

[Neutral Fortune: If you do not sacrifice the Mark of the Profound Domain Celestial Mandate to Void Heaven, there is nothing to be gained and nothing to be lost. Outcome: Neutral.]
