Chapter 364: Chapter 356: The Qi Shu Theory Reappears

The Great Sun Dragon Lady plays dirty!

Sen Yue is a merciless backstabber!

From the moment he decided to enter the Burying Moon Mountain World Dream Cluster, this had been Fang Yang’s deepest, most secret worry.

When all was said and done, it came down to the fact that the strength of these two Young Venerables was simply too transcendent.

They were on a completely different level from other Cultivators, as if they weren’t even from the same world.

This was understandable. Throughout history, only a dozen or so beings had ever been able to compare to them at the same realm.

This fear of their power wasn’t just Fang Yang’s private concern; it was a worry shared by every Young Great Saint.

At this very moment, triggered by the connection between the Emperor’s Black Robe and the Butterfly Shadow Nightmare, this worry resurfaced in Fang Yang’s mind, growing wildly in intensity.

Fang Yang was silent.

He simply looked inward at his second vacant aperture, silently gazing at the Emperor’s Black Robe.

The Emperor’s Black Robe was a Lifebound Skill of the Dream Dao school, combined with the Luck Dao school.

To some extent, the changes in the Emperor’s Black Robe reflected the changes in the Dream Emperor’s phantom image.

And according to the Great Xuan Dynasty’s *Qi Shu Theory*, the reason this worry had been stirred within him was most likely due to an intersection of qi and fate—a premonition!

In other words, the very thing he was worried about might actually happen in the future?!

At that moment, his eyes flickered unceasingly as he thought to himself:

’Based on intel from numerous sources, the Great Sun Dragon Lady is definitely not some reckless brute.’

’Even if the Great Sun Dragon Lady *were* a brute, there’s no way Sen Yue would rashly charge into this battlefield with the intention of taking me down with him.’

’Which means... they both actually have a way to avoid being insta-killed the moment they appear.’

’And based on the Great Sun Dragon Lady’s ambush attempt on me, she can’t enter this battlefield yet.’

’So, is it because she hasn’t mastered this method yet?!’

’By that logic, Sen Yue hasn’t mastered his corresponding method either?!’

’Therefore, perhaps on a deeper level, the two Young Venerables, the Great Sun Dragon Lady and Sen Yue, are also secretly competing with each other.’

’They’re competing to see who can enter this battlefield first and seize the initiative in the era of the Dream Dao...’

Thoughts raced through Fang Yang’s mind.

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made.

His attitude toward the matter was simple:

—Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

He compared Han Wu, the Sub-Venerable from the bloodline dreamscape, to a Young Venerable.

In that instant, his heart sank.

With his current strength, he really couldn’t defeat the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

At that moment, the sense of urgency in his heart grew, surged, and multiplied!

And so, he set a goal for himself.

First vacant aperture: reach Tier Five Peak in his Cultivation Realm, condense the Kunpeng Saint Body, condense the Great Sun Golden Crow Spirit Body, and condense the Great Sun Golden Crow Saint Body.

Second vacant aperture: reach Tier Five Peak, condense a perfect-grade Dream Emperor Spirit Body, and condense a perfect-grade Dream Emperor Saint Body.

These were all monumental tasks.

But at the very least, he had to reach Tier Five Peak within a year and then condense his Kunpeng Saint Body.

To condense a Saint Body, one needed to use a Sacred Material as a catalyst, guiding True Essence outside the body to condense a Dharma Aspect based on the Spirit Body’s phantom image.

Then, in one go, one had to integrate that Dharma Aspect into the body, harmonizing it with the vacant aperture to successfully condense the Saint Body.

The power of the Dharma Aspect determined the grade of the Saint Body!

If this process were interrupted or failed, it would be dangerous; one’s cultivation path could be damaged, or one could even lose their life.

’My Kunpeng Spirit Body is special. Once I reach Tier Five Advanced, I can skip the step of condensing a Saint Body and instantly form the Kunpeng Saint Body.’

With a determined gaze, Fang Yang made up his mind. ’I must raise the cultivation of my first vacant aperture to Tier Five Peak within one year. And the faster, the better.’

If he truly succeeded, then even if things took a turn for the worse, he would have a fighting chance—or even the ability to counter-attack.

Of course, it would be best if the Great Sun Dragon Lady only descended after he had completed all his goals, or even better, if she never descended at all.

If the Great Sun Dragon Lady were to descend after he had accomplished everything, then he might even have the chance to... turn the tables and kill her!

He had to remember, this was the Tian Realm, not the Hong Realm.

Without the buff from the will of the world in the Hong Realm, the Great Sun Dragon Lady would no longer be able to maintain her standing in the domain of a Young Venerable at all times!

...

Fang Yang now had a rough plan.

But since he bore the responsibilities of the Third Commanding Lord, he couldn’t just act as a hands-off boss.

In truth, he also wanted to just enjoy the benefits without shouldering the responsibility.

But that was absolutely impossible.

On his shoulders rested the future of the Dream Dao across two realms and eighteen prefectures?!

And in order to best extricate himself from his duties and focus on raising his Cultivation Realm, he decided to find a second-in-command to handle his troubles.

To this end, he specifically summoned three top prodigies: Su Xi, Linghe, and Jiuming.

All three were of good character and possessed great strategic minds.

They were all highly valued by the Purple Sky Manor Master, Chenri the Great Saint, and even Han Wu the Sub-Venerable.

However, he still needed to screen them one more time.

At this moment, Su Xi, Linghe, and Jiuming gazed at Fang Yang, feeling puzzled and confused.

Fang Yang, however, smiled and questioned them directly, ordering them to compose a strategy proposal.

"If the armies of the Red Flame Demon Country and other enemies were to attack in full force, what would be our best course of action?"

Hearing this, the three were inwardly astonished.
