Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew

The Card Pool shook.

Rattle, rattle!

Eight white cards, one green, and one purple.

Rattle, rattle!

Seven white cards, two green, and one blue.

Nine white cards and one red.

Fang Yang automatically skipped the white cards and looked over the remaining six:

[Wood Molar Crystal (Green)]

[Marine Six Styles (Green)]

[Eight-Ten-Thousand-Year-Tongtian Chrysanthemum (Green)]

[Mortal Body Origin (Blue)]

[Flame of Living Beings (Purple)]

[Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew (Red)]

"Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew?"

Unable to hide his excitement, Fang Yang focused his attention and read its detailed description.

[Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew (Red)]

[Description: A mysterious liquid produced inside the Palm-Heaven Bottle. It contains the Time Law and can accelerate the growth of plants, among other effects.]

Inside the deep-red card, a small clump of green liquid looked utterly ordinary. Without the ornate red patterns surrounding it, no one would have recognized how precious it was.

"The Time Law—very few people, even among the ancient emperors and Great Emperors, have mastered it. Carefree Heavenly Venerate, who created the Nine Secrets: Xing, only took his first steps into the domain of time."

Fang Yang thought of two ways to use the Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew.

The first was to use it to ripen an Undying Medicine.

An Undying Medicine took about five thousand years to produce fruit.

If this clump of Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew was large enough, perhaps it could produce an Undying Medicine Fruit in a very short time.

The other option was to save it for the future, until he had enough ability to try to unravel the Time Law within the Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew.

The Dao of time was a Great Dao that applied throughout the myriad worlds. If he could use this to gain a foothold in it, the value of this clump of green liquid would be immeasurable.

"I don't have an Undying Medicine, and for now I can't comprehend the Time Law. I'll just have to take things one step at a time."

Fang Yang set the Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew aside for the time being. He had no intention of materializing it and experimenting with it.

If he remembered correctly, the Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew would naturally dissipate. Until he had the means to use it, it was better to keep it in the card.

Next...

[Flame of Living Beings (Purple)]

[Description: Fifth on the Exotic Flame Ranking. It possesses powerful life force and can ripen medicinal herbs and extend one's lifespan.]

"Good stuff. If I refine this purple-grade exotic flame into my Dao Palace Secret Realm, perhaps it can cause the Five Elements Divine Light to undergo a slight innate transformation."

With the Five Elements Divine Light harmonizing the five elements, Fang Yang wasn't worried that the exotic flame's arrival would throw the Dao Palace's five elements out of balance.

What he cared about more was whether a naturally formed treasure like an exotic flame could help the Five Elements Divine Light transform into its innate form.

The Innate Five Elements Divine Light and the Primordial Sacred Light were roughly equal in quality, and the former could better unleash the potential of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

[Mortal Body Origin (Blue)]

[Description: The origin of a Mortal Body cultivator in the Four Extremes Realm.]

There wasn't much to say about this one.

"Fuse with me!"

At Fang Yang's thought, the blue card merged into his body, raising the depth of his origin.

The whole process was like a spring rain nourishing the earth, without the slightest abnormality. Yet he could feel that the slight improvement in his origin had given both of his secret realms the potential to rise further.

The Five Elements Divine Light showed the change most clearly, growing stronger by roughly a tenth.

[Eight-Ten-Thousand-Year Tongtian Chrysanthemum (Green)]

"Eighty thousand years old, and still only green quality?"

Fang Yang was speechless.

In Shrouding the Heavens, any medicinal herb that had grown for eighty thousand years could be called a Medicine King and could add several hundred years to a Saint's lifespan.

What kind of trash was this Tongtian Chrysanthemum?

The remaining [Wood Molar Crystal (Green)] and [Marine Six Styles (Green)] weren't worth a second look either.

Then he began refining the Flame of Living Beings.

Recently, refining the Mysterious Yellow Flame and the Yin Yang Twin Flames hadn't been difficult for Fang Yang. It had only consumed some Dao force and divine power.

Now he was refining the Flame of Living Beings, which was higher in quality but not as explosive as ordinary exotic flames. He was confident he could handle it.

The next day, Fang Yang stepped out of the stone hut and saw his senior uncle, Li Daoqing, waiting outside and watching him.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle!"

He jogged over and bowed in greeting.

"Though you have a Mortal Body, your Luck Path is truly remarkable. You actually obtained the secret technique of the Sun Holy Emperor."

Looking at his nephew, Li Daoqing couldn't help thinking that his junior brother had lucked into a treasure. On one trip, he'd not only stumbled upon the Immortal Spirit Eye but also brought back such a gifted disciple.

Cultivation wasn't all about one's constitution.

Insight and luck were sometimes more important than one's constitution.

Fang Yang had been traveling for less than half a year, yet he'd stumbled upon Mysterious Yellow Qi, something even a mighty cultivator would struggle to obtain, forged it into a treasure cauldron, and acquired the Sun Emperor Fist of the Sun Holy Emperor.

Calling that luck the makings of a Great Emperor would be going too far.

But it was no exaggeration to say, "My nephew Fang Yang has the makings of a Saint."

"Be careful when traveling. The fact that you possess the Sun Emperor Fist may attract the greed of certain people."

"Also, the Dragon Transformation Realm bandit you killed yesterday was a younger son of Sun Tianyun, the Tenth Great Bandit..."

As he spoke, Li Daoqing took out a Mystic Jade Platform.

"I refined this Mystic Jade Platform especially for you. Once used, it can send you five thousand li away in an instant. No formation below the level of a King can stop it."

"Thank you, Senior Uncle!"

Fang Yang accepted it respectfully, without any false modesty.

That was the advantage of having connections.

As long as you showed you were worth it, all kinds of protective measures and cultivation resources would immediately be provided.

With this special Mystic Jade Platform from Li Daoqing, his ability to save his own life had risen another step.

"Cultivate well. I'll be waiting for the day you become the Yaoguang Holy Son."

With that, Li Daoqing drifted away.

Half a day later.

"Junior Brother, we're off."

Weiwei and Yao Xi had already agreed with Fang Yang to travel together to the Holy City. Now they arrived outside the stone hut and knocked.

"Coming."

Fang Yang answered and pushed open the stone door. His dark robes snapped in the gale.

After refining the Flame of Living Beings, his Dao Palace Secret Realm had gained a deep foundation, and his lifespan had increased by nearly a hundred years. He looked completely renewed.

His eyes shone with vitality, and his bearing was exceptional, like a mighty tree growing toward the heavens.

"Junior Brother, you seem to have gained a lot from this seclusion!"

Yao Xi's eyes sparkled. She noticed Weiwei's cheeks had turned faintly red and spoke with a knowing look.

"I did make some progress."

Fang Yang nodded and said,

"Would Senior Sister be willing to give me some pointers?"

Defeating Hua Yunfei, who hadn't used his full strength, had earned him a thousand Fate Points.

Even if Yao Xi wasn't as strong as Hua Yunfei, she might still provide him with four-digit Fate Points.

"Junior Brother, instead of challenging the Yaoguang Holy Son, you want to challenge me? Could it be that you want to become the Yaoguang Holy Maiden?"

"Your Senior Sister doesn't mind the position of Saintess, but I doubt those old fogies would agree to it."

Yao Xi joked, politely turning him down.

Why would she fight Fang Yang?

His powerful physique and Sun Emperor Fist, which had blazed across the sky like a great sun, were still fresh in her memory.

There was nothing to gain from winning.

And if she lost, where would that leave her dignity as the Saintess?
