Chapter 432 - 409: Fame Shakes the 8 Domains

Chapter 432: Chapter 409: Fame Shakes the 8 Domains

Even possessing just a tenth of Fang Yang’s potential would be enough to create a young Great Saint.

If Fang Xuan were in the Mansion Master’s position, he too would consider such a move worthwhile.

After all, it was just a matter of going with the flow and expending some resources.

At that moment, Fang Xuan’s gaze hardened as he made a decision. ’You can’t put all your eggs in one basket. I will establish a branch for our Fang clan within the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.’

Everything revolved around Fang Yang!

...

That night, within the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life, many people lay sleepless, their minds preoccupied with the name Fang Yang.

For example, Su Dao of the Two Poles Villa would find it difficult to sit down with Jiuzhe and discuss the heroes of their time, even if they were to meet again.

This was because Fang Yang, a junior, had surpassed him, becoming the one closest to Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady!

Perhaps the only thing that brought Su Dao some joy was that his younger sister, Su Xi, had gradually grown strong enough to stand on her own, all thanks to Fang Yang’s help.

Also in the Two Poles Villa, another person found it difficult to sleep.

Chen Ying!

「Late at night.」

The moonlight was as cool as water.

Chen Ying clutched a purple sachet, her head tilted toward the sky. Her foxy eyes were filled with a gentle affection, as if lost in a memory.

The purple sachets came in a matching pair.

She had discreetly given the other one to Fang Yang, using the occasion of his promotion to a Tier Two Alchemy Master as a pretext.

Furthermore, she had never forgotten her grand dream: to rescue Fang Yang from the clutches of the Sen clan!

But now, that dream seemed more distant than ever.

’Ah Yang... can a broken mirror truly not be mended?’ Her gaze dimmed for a moment before the light within her eyes flared to life again.

She was, admittedly, a little envious of Sen Hui.

’But I’m sure I’ll still have a chance!’

...

Within the Thunder Saint Academy, the Celestial, Earth, and Human Rankings began to transform once again.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the Golden Light Pillar representing the Celestial Ranking churned violently.

Vaguely, the many students could all see a Kunpeng leap from a black ocean. It soared into the air, transforming into a golden-winged Dapeng before charging forward, straight toward the Fusang Divine Tree at the top of the ranking.

CLANG!

A great roar shook the air as a golden mist erupted, shrouding the area.

The Fusang Divine Tree was still struggling desperately, unwilling to yield its top spot!

However, the golden-winged Dapeng let out a sharp cry and flapped its wings, manifesting golden clouds. In the span of a single breath, it transformed into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow was immense. Behind it, gods chanted and demons danced—a terrifying sight!

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Crow swooped down upon the Fusang Divine Tree and subdued it.

WHOOSH...

A sound like flowing water echoed. Before the astonished eyes of the students, the top spot on the Celestial Ranking changed!

[Celestial Ranking: First]

[Name: Changkong Fang Yang]

[Age: Thirty]

[Spirit Body: Kunpeng Saint Body, Great Sun Golden Crow Sacred Body]

[Realm: Tier Five Peak]

[...]

Number one on the Celestial Ranking!

In the distance, the crowd stood dumbstruck, staring at Fang Yang’s name.

It was as if his name held a unique Magic Power, a black hole that threatened to absorb every gaze in the world. It was terrifying.

"So the rumors were all true."

"It’s unbelievable! How did Fang Yang cultivate? To actually surpass Yu Zither Immortal... it’s unheard of!"

"*Hiss*... At this rate, it must be true that incredibly powerful young Great Saints like Xiao Sanxuan and the White Tiger Demon Lord really did die at his hands!"

"Damn it, I made an enemy of Fang Hao not long ago. I have to find a chance to resolve this."

"The Kunpeng, the Golden Crow... What kind of blessed fate is that? Why couldn’t it be me? *Sigh*..."

"..."

Shock, fear, jealousy, envy...

At that moment, in the center of the plaza, the minds of thousands of students reeled at the mention of Fang Yang’s name, their composure shattered.

It was no wonder.

The main reason was that, among this group of students, Fang Yang’s background was simply too ’humble’.

An orphan from a declining minor clan!

Anyone with even a shred of ambition would think, ’Why couldn’t that be me?’

Of course, the more profound one’s cultivation, the less likely they were to have such thoughts.

Those with profound cultivation understood that not every Primordial Ancestor or clan-reviving master could accomplish what Fang Yang had.

The strength lay more with Fang Yang himself!

At least, that’s what Zhang Ye believed.

Zhang Ye looked up into the distance, his gaze profound. ’A head start means you stay ahead. I will, I absolutely will, catch up to you.’

Even Zhang Ye couldn’t help but feel stirred and utterly shocked by Fang Yang’s accomplishments.

While he was still fumbling along the "Path of the Nine-tailed Crocodile Dragon," Fang Yang had nearly perfected the way of the Kunpeng and had even manifested the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Fortunately, he had now adjusted his mindset and no longer harbored delusions of reaching the heavens in a single bound.

Fang Yang was number one on the Celestial Ranking.

But he, Zhang Ye, was number one on the Earth Ranking!

’As long as I don’t compete with Fang Yang, who among our generation in this Thunder Saint Academy can stand against me?’

’Basically no one.’

’Competing in a different league... that’s one way to catch up, I suppose.’

...

「Meanwhile.」

Lin Tianxue, Qing Mang, Mo Ran, and the others all wore numb expressions.

The gap was so vast it extinguished any thought of competition.

They had once been proud prodigies of the same generation who had clashed with Fang Yang, challenging him time and time again.

But now, Fang Yang was on the verge of becoming a Saint, about to reach the realm of a Young Venerable.

Meanwhile, they were still floundering at Tier Four, and not a single one of them had even made it into the top ten of the Earth Ranking.

With a disparity like that, who would believe they had once fought and competed with Fang Yang?

Never mind anyone else; even Cha Mo was a major figure they had to look up to, to say nothing of the White Tiger Demon Lord.
