Sun Emperor Fist

Returning to the cave dwelling.

Ten-pull!

The card pool shook once more, and the familiar illusions reappeared. Fang Yang no longer paid them any mind, silently praying for a few high-quality cards.

Card after card popped up in succession, a sea of white with a smattering of green.

"Not even a single blue?"

Fang Yang looked at the [Blue Silver Entanglement (Green)] card, cursed his bad luck, and abandoned the idea of another ten-pull.

He went to take a cold shower to wash away the bad luck before initiating another ten-pull.

The card pool shook again.

"Why is there no skip animation function?"

Fang Yang waited in silence.

The final result made his disgusted mood improve slightly.

Six white, two green, two blue.

The six white cards were not worth mentioning; they were all mundane items that wasted his time.

[Hundred Herb Liquid (Green)]

?

Fang Yang silently added a question mark.

I am already a great cultivator in the Four Extremities Secret Realm; what on earth am I supposed to do with Hundred Herb Liquid?

[Hundred Beast Milk (Green)]

[Description: Shi Yunfeng uses the milk of a hundred beasts in the Great Wilderness, brewed with various herbs; suitable for children to drink.]

One truly laughs when one is speechless.

Fang Yang looked at the same beast milk favored by the Heaven-Defying Emperor, his mouth twitching as he involuntarily looked up at the sky.

Even counting the time after consuming the Sacred Fruit, he was already fifteen or sixteen years old.

Is it appropriate to be drinking beast milk at this age?

It is not.

[Heavenly Dew (Blue)]

Needless to say, Fang Yang already had hundreds of drops unused in his pocket, and now another thousand had arrived.

[Yin Yang Twin Flames (Blue)]

[Description: The 20th-ranked flame on the Exotic Flame Ranking of the Battle Through the Heavens World. It naturally possesses the laws of Yin and Yang and contains the power of life and death. The white Yang fire saves lives, while the ink-black Yin fire kills.]

"I'm not Brother Lucky, and I haven't cultivated the Burning Mantra. What use are two exotic flames to me? The Mysterious Yellow Flame is still lying in my deck," Fang Yang grumbled.

But on second thought, Yin and Yang, life and death—no matter the world, these were considered Great Daos.

Though the Yin Yang Twin Flames were weak in essence, they could serve as a stepping stone to enter the path of Yin and Yang.

The final ten-pull.

Fang Yang had already given up hope, as the drop rate of this card pool was too bizarre. Aside from the guaranteed pull on the first try, a ten-pull could actually yield nine whites and one green—a deck that made one's blood pressure rise.

He hoped he wouldn't have a day of bad luck where he pulled all white.

But a flash of golden light from the card pool suddenly made Fang Yang's throat dry and his heart pound.

[Sun Emperor Fist (Gold)]

[Description: A forbidden secret technique from the peak of the Sun Holy Emperor's later years in his first life. It uses the fist to drive the Great Sun to patrol the heavens; the supreme fruit of the Sun Dao.]

"It's a pity it's not the complete Sun True Scripture, just a legacy of a forbidden secret technique."

Fang Yang was insatiably greedy.

He cultivated the Yaoguang Scripture because he couldn't find a complete Emperor Scripture. While cultivating five Emperor Scriptures across the five secret realms like Ye Fan was powerful, it would be a miracle if a cultivator with weaker blood and qi didn't die from cultivation conflicts.

However, if he truly had an Emperor Scripture in hand, even without a single forbidden secret technique, he would choose the Emperor Scripture without hesitation over a complete scripture created by a Great Saint, even if his five secret realm chapters were missing one or two parts.

Unfortunately, Fang Yang only possessed the Sea of Bitterness scroll of the Dao Scripture.

"The Sun Emperor Fist involves the Dao of the Sun. Compared to the Nine Secrets, it lacks some versatility, but once mastered, its power will definitely not be inferior to the Ji Family's Heaven Severing Finger or the Great Xia Dynasty's Imperial Dragon Qi."

"The gap between me and the Yaoguang Holy Son is as wide as two complete Emperor Scriptures. Seizing the position of Holy Lord is far from as simple as defeating Li Rui."

"After obtaining the position of candidate Holy Son this time, I don't have much room left to gain Fate Points within the Yao Guang Sacred Land, as killing fellow disciples is strictly prohibited."

"Now that I have broken through to the Four Extremities Secret Realm, I have a modicum of self-preservation. Once I ask my master and senior uncle for a few protective treasures, I can go out to travel and kill enemies to gain more Fate Points."

Fang Yang's thoughts flew, already plotting how to "loot" his master and senior uncle.

His master, Li Daoming, was a Half-Step Great Power; the Enlightenment Tea Leaf he gave was likely a significant portion of his net worth, so it would be difficult to ask for more.

But his senior uncle, Li Daoqing, as the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, surely had no shortage of good things.

"My martial uncle said that once I secured the position of Holy Son, he would bestow a grand gift upon me. Now that I am already a candidate Holy Son, only half a step away from becoming the Yaoguang Holy Son, if the grand gift is still out of reach, a small one should at least be attainable."

Fang Yang did not overthink it and continued to examine the remaining cards.

Aside from this [Sun Emperor Fist (Gold)].

Among the remaining nine cards, there were eight white cards and one purple card.

[Purple Qi Coming from the East (Purple)]

[Description: One of the phenomena cultivated by the Daoist Virtue Heavenly Venerable. When the Sage traveled west through Hangu Pass, purple qi stretched for thirty thousand miles. A top-tier phenomenon.]

"A cultivation method for a phenomenon?"

Fang Yang was no stranger to phenomena.

The Yaoguang Scripture contained cultivation methods for several types of phenomena, but he had found them too weak and thus had not practiced them.

Just like the Divine Light Glazed World cultivated by Li Rui; while it appeared capable of unleashing ten thousand paths of divine light and looked imposing, it was actually not as formidable as a single strand of Primordial Sacred Light.

"But shouldn't the person traveling west through Hangu Pass be Laozi? Could it be that in the Mythological Era, Laozi's predecessor, the Daoist Virtue Heavenly Venerable, also performed a scene of Purple Qi Coming from the East at Hangu Pass?"

Fang Yang knew that Earth's origins were extraordinary; famous landmarks like Mount Tai and Hangu Pass carried a history far deeper than ordinary people could imagine.

However, the past could not be recovered, and he had no interest in dwelling on anecdotes from countless ages ago, so he steadied his mind and used the card.

There were no anomalies in the outside world, but within his sea of consciousness, which had been dyed gold by the effect of the Soul Gold Bead, a world-shaking phenomenon now emerged.

Purple qi stretched for thirty thousand miles!

At Hangu Pass, an old Daoist rode a green ox, moving slowly forward. In the sky behind him, purple qi followed, forming a magnificent and spectacular sight.

Fang Yang's divine sense delved into it, absorbing the Dao intent from the thirty thousand miles of purple qi and engraving this top-tier phenomenon into his heart.

Compared to the brilliant phenomena in the Yaoguang Scripture, all of which had the character for "light" in their names, he preferred the low-key and profound nature of Purple Qi Coming from the East.

This is the one!

The foundation of a phenomenon originated from the Bitter Sea, and since he happened to have the Dao Scripture: Sea of Bitterness Volume as a reference, it was a match made in heaven for the Purple Qi Coming from the East phenomenon.

"I am willing to serve the Holy Son; I beg Senior Brother to take me in!"

Li Rui knelt on one knee, his voice ringing with conviction, demonstrating his determination to never go back on his word.

Before him.

The Yaoguang Holy Son was surrounded by one hundred and eight divine rings, his aura as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, causing all who looked upon him to feel awe.

This was the figure who had suppressed the entire generation of Yaoguang's geniuses, a man who had never been forced to use his full strength and had always stood upon the altar of divinity.

"When you challenged me back then, Junior Brother, you were so high-spirited. How did you become this decadent after suffering a mere setback?"

"What is the meaning of kneeling on one knee?"

The Yaoguang Holy Son stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze shifting away from the young man before him. He had no interest in fools who could not recognize their own standing.

Did he not even know his own status?

If Li Rui were still a candidate Holy Son, he might have been interested in taking him in to groom him as a capable subordinate for the future.

But now?

The times had changed.

After losing the position of candidate Holy Son, how could the Yaoguang Holy Son fail to see through Li Rui's resentment and his desire to use his hand to take revenge on Fang Yang?

In his eyes, Fang Yang was merely a minor character; even as the nephew of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, he could be crushed at will.

A double heavenly tribulation, nothing more. It was as if no one else had ever survived one.

But he did not like Li Rui's attitude.

If one chooses to be a dog, what right is there to kneel on only one knee?

Hearing the words of the Yaoguang Holy Son, Li Rui's face flushed red; he could naturally hear the sarcasm in the other's voice.

But he was young and ignorant, having apprenticed under a Dragon Transformation Realm elder with many disciples, making it impossible for him to obtain much cultivation resources after losing his position as a candidate Holy Son.

Offering himself as a subordinate to the Yaoguang Holy Son was partly to take revenge on Fang Yang, but more importantly, it was to secure resources.

Thinking of this, his legs went weak and he knelt fully on the ground, prostrating himself at the feet of the Yaoguang Holy Son.
