In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 136 Three Incarnations: The Thousand-Legged Taoist, Seeking the Dao Mountain in the World!
"Is this the weapon of divine will?"

Lu Yuan let out a long breath, looking somewhat tired.

Although the Divine Weapon Forging Soul Technique is a supreme soul cultivation method, it also consumes a great deal of divine power.

Fortunately, he had a Soul Stone that could continuously replenish his divine power; otherwise, he didn't know when he would have reached the entry level.

"But it was all worth it."

Lu Yuan stared at the divine sword floating in mid-air, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Well known.

Essence and blood transform into Qi, Qi nourishes the spirit, and the spirit governs essence and Qi.

Whether one is a martial arts practitioner or an ordinary mortal, the soul plays a vital role for everyone.

If a mortal's spirit is weak, he will be plagued by all kinds of diseases and become a dazed and confused person, just like a walking corpse.

If a cultivator's soul is weak, it will affect their physical constitution and comprehension, and their speed in cultivating techniques or martial arts will be far behind others.

For a fifth-grade innate martial artist to advance to the sixth-grade Divine Sea realm, the most crucial step is to condense an innate divine soul.

If the divine sense of an innate martial artist is a stone, then the innate divine soul of a divine sea martial artist, after undergoing the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth...

Its divine sense was so solid that it was like a hard iron!

However, although a branding iron can kill people, it is difficult to exert much power if it is not tempered.

Therefore.

The method of soul forging becomes extremely important!
The Soul Path Technique can temper the soul, causing a qualitative change in the power of divine sense.

Some powerful Soul Path martial artists possess divine senses as sharp as knives; with just a glance, they can turn a Xiantian martial artist into an idiot!
Lu Yuan's total spiritual power was less than one-tenth of that of a martial artist from the Divine Sea Realm.

However, under the tempering of the Divine Weapon Forging Soul Technique, his divine sense power is like a divine weapon that has been forged a thousand times, and its quality is enough to crush most of the Divine Sea Realm experts!
According to Lu Yuan's estimation, the divine sword before him was extremely sharp, enough to sever all things in the world.

If it is a surprise attack.

With his intentions focused on the enemy's unpreparedness, he could even instantly kill a martial artist at the first level of the Divine Sea Realm!
"The Divine Weapon Forging Soul Technique is infinitely profound; it truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient and supreme secret method of the soul path."

Lu Yuan remarked with considerable emotion.

Only when one condenses a weapon of divine will can one be considered to have reached the entry level.

To reach the Lesser Completion stage, one needs to condense ten divine weapons!
With ten divine weapons unleashed, they could kill a seventh-grade Xuan Dan expert!
The only thing that Lu Yuan regretted was...

The Divine Weapon Forging Soul Technique is an ancient fragment of the Soul Dao. Although it is exquisite, a large amount of content needs to be filled in in order to know the subsequent cultivation methods.

As for the Heaven-Mending Points needed to complete this technique, they are an astronomical figure.

Lu Yuan shook his head, putting the matter aside for the time being.

For the next two weeks.

Lu Yuan stayed in this remote valley, patiently honing his strength and martial arts skills.

His strength also improved by leaps and bounds, and he stepped into the sixth level of the Innate Realm in just half a month!
Besides.

Lu Yuan's mastery of various martial arts techniques, such as the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist, the Dragon Soaring Body Technique, and the Golden Body Technique of the Bright King, has become increasingly refined, and he has soon reached the pinnacle of mastery!

Whenever he uses the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist, the Buddha figure behind him appears solemn and radiant with boundless Buddha light.

With every gesture, a dazzling Buddhist light shines forth, amplifying the power of the fist technique several times over!
In particular, the golden wheel of merit behind the Buddha's head is so solid that it resembles a blazing sun, enough to terrify all demons and evil spirits!
If someone unaware of the situation were to witness this scene, they might mistakenly believe that Lu Yuan was the Zen Buddhist disciple of this generation.

"The Arhat Subduing Demon Fist is extremely powerful and domineering. If I were to add my Great Accomplishment Vajra Body, its terrifying power would be comparable to a supernatural power!"

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, and an unprecedented sense of power welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He slightly activated his qi and blood, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his flesh and bones, covering the surface of his body.

This layer of golden light is as thin as a cicada's wing, seemingly fragile, but in reality it is indestructible and strong enough to withstand the attacks of a Divine Sea Realm expert!

Now, he doesn't need to use his innate true essence or sixth-grade flying zombie; his physical strength alone is enough to contend with a Divine Sea Realm expert!
Just as Lu Yuan was in seclusion,

The outside world is undergoing dramatic changes and upheavals.

Other alien demons fought fiercely for the treasure.

Lei Lingzi, Little Peacock King, and others joined forces to break through the ancient magic array, each obtaining a primordial spiritual treasure, which greatly increased their strength!
Some people also witnessed Princess Lingyao riding in a royal carriage into a forbidden area for humans, where she obtained many spiritual herbs and treasures!

The successor of the demon god repeatedly invaded several forbidden caves and obtained many fortunes and opportunities.

However, some human martial artists accidentally broke the seal while trying to break an ancient magic array, releasing a ten-thousand-year-old centipede.

This centipede was an ancient demon who called himself the Thousand-Legged Taoist. Because of his many evil deeds, he was suppressed in the forbidden area of ​​the human race by the fifth generation of human emperor.

But to everyone's surprise, it not only didn't die, but has actually lived to this day!

After the Thousand-Legged Taoist was born, he massacred human martial arts practitioners, causing a bloodbath in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven.

It is an ancient and exotic species, born with a powerful bloodline.

Once it reveals its true form, its body is thousands of feet long, winding like a mountain range, and it can swallow a mountain in one gulp.

Moreover, it was originally a seventh-grade Xuan Dan demon, but its strength had weakened considerably after being suppressed in the Lingxu Cave Heaven for ten thousand years.

However, over the long years, it has long since adapted to the laws of nature here and is able to unleash a portion of the power of the Profound Core Realm!

When it broke free from its seal, it was virtually invincible in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, and almost no one could subdue it!

Even the old woman with the Xuan Dan cultivation who was driving the royal carriage was killed by the Thousand-Legged Taoist.

It wasn't until Princess Lingyao spared no expense to revive a sacred artifact that he finally gave up!

“Back then, that old codger, the Fifth Emperor, suppressed me in the Spirit Ruins Grotto for ten thousand years.”

"But he probably never dreamed that the once incredibly powerful human race would fall to such a wretched state."

"Since that's the case, I'll seize the Human Emperor's inheritance and become the supreme ruler of the human race!"

The Thousand-Legged Taoist sneered.

Ten thousand years ago, it was nothing more than a prisoner of the human race.

Even the five emperors thought it was too weak and didn't bother to kill it, so they just threw it into a deadly place and left it to fend for itself.

But who would have thought that in just ten thousand years, the human race would have fallen from its former status as the most revered of all races to such a state?
Any random cat or dog from another race can ride roughshod over humans.

If the five emperors knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins!
The Thousand-Legged Taoist, confident in his strength, became increasingly arrogant and overconfident.

However, as it broke free from its seal, the entire Lingxu Cave Heaven seemed to undergo some kind of change.

The laws of nature here are exerting an increasingly strong suppressive force on all living beings.

Everyone felt their bodies become incredibly heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to move an inch and even breathe!

to the end.

Many powerful cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm who had sealed their cultivation levels were shocked to discover this.

Under the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth.

At this moment, not only could they not use the power of their divine sea, but even the innate true essence within their bodies suddenly solidified and froze, like a block of ten-thousand-year-old ice, making it impossible to mobilize even the slightest bit!

Other martial arts practitioners also encountered similar situations.

"What's going on? Why have my vital energy and divine sense been completely sealed?"

All the martial arts practitioners were panicked and filled with fear.

Innate martial arts practitioners can use their divine sense to investigate their surroundings.

In battle, they can also anticipate and predict the enemy's moves.

However, after their divine senses were sealed, they all seemed to become 'blind', only able to observe their surroundings with their mortal eyes.

The feeling of falling from the clouds to the abyss was so disheartening that they almost vomited blood.

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious; he too had noticed the anomaly.

In his mind, a divine sword was floating.

Originally, this three-inch divine sword shone brightly and exuded immense power.

However, it can be suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth.

The sword of divine sense became dim and lifeless, and no matter how hard Lu Yuan tried, he could not activate it at all!

His innate true energy suddenly fell silent, only his physical strength remained unaffected. A bronze mask fell off his face, losing all function and aura, as if it had turned into a piece of scrap metal.

"The laws of heaven and earth are changing, suppressing all true essence and divine thoughts. Could this also be part of the Human Emperor's Trial?"

Lu Yuan seemed to understand something.

If.

Previously, many fourth-grade Transcendent Realm martial artists could take advantage of the chaos and seize opportunities and good fortune.

So we've reached this point.

Almost all martial arts practitioners below the Innate Realm have been declared obsolete in advance.

After all, innate experts possess innate bodies and can regenerate severed limbs, which is a complete dimensional reduction attack for martial artists in the Transcendent Realm.

"Boom!"

at the same time.

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

A sudden and drastic change occurred in Lingxu Cave Heaven. The entire world shook violently, and many martial arts practitioners lost their footing and were thrown heavily to the ground.

Then, to everyone's disbelief, the outline of an ancient divine mountain gradually emerged from the void!

The mountain was magnificent and imposing, towering tens of thousands of feet high, like a sharp sword piercing the clouds.

The steps wind their way up like a dragon's spine, leading all the way to the mountain's summit.

When this mountain first appeared.

Then a sacred aura, indestructible and eternal, spread in all directions!
At the mountaintop, shrouded in clouds and mist, clusters of palaces and magnificent buildings can be vaguely seen.

"Boom!"

A resounding bell, as powerful as a great bell, suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

Everyone trembled, a sense of unprecedented awe welling up in their hearts!

"This is... the legendary Mount Qiudao?"

The Little Peacock King and his companions trembled violently as they immediately recognized the origin of the mountain.

Legend has it that Qiudao Mountain was the place where emperors of past dynasties recruited disciples and imparted their teachings.

There are a total of 99,999 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top!

If anyone can climb all the steps using their physical strength, they will be qualified to enter the Human Emperor's Palace and compete for the true human inheritance!

"The emergence of the Dao Mountain in the world—that is the true great opportunity!"

The Thousand-Legged Taoist's eyes gleamed with golden light, his face filled with excitement.

The journey to the Mountain of Seeking the Way is both a test and a tremendous opportunity!

This ancient sacred mountain is the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth.

Every ten thousand steps climbed triggers the power of the laws, cleansing the physical body and soul, which greatly benefits subsequent cultivation!
If someone is the first to ascend the Mountain of Seeking the Dao, they will receive unparalleled good fortune, allowing their aptitude and comprehension to undergo a double transformation!
Think of this.

The Thousand-Legged Taoist transformed into a streak of light and immediately rushed towards the ancient sacred mountain.

As for the successor of the Demon God, the Little Peacock King, and other prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, they were all vying to be the first to reach the summit.

"Is this the true inheritance of the Human Emperor's Trial?"

Looking at the ancient sacred mountain, Lu Yuan felt a surge of pride, a desire to compete with all the heroes of the world.

With the appearance of Mount Qiudao.

The suppressive effect of the laws of heaven and earth became increasingly powerful, rendering all weapons unusable, even the Thousand Faces Without Form lost its function.

But with his current strength, he no longer needs to hide anything.

The Great Accomplishment King Vajra Body can tear apart a sixth-grade Divine Sea Realm expert with his bare hands.

Even without being able to use his true essence and divine sense, Lu Yuan was confident that he could sweep through the entire Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven.

What kind of demon god descendant, what kind of alien demon, as long as they dare to cause trouble, they will all be smashed to death with one punch!

"It's time to go."

Lu Yuan bent his knees slightly and suddenly exerted force.

"Crack!"

Several cracks appeared in the ground beneath his feet, and Lu Yuan himself used the force of the recoil to leap high into the air, soaring through the sky like a roc!

However, looking at a mountain can make a horse run itself to death.

That Seeking the Way Mountain may seem close, but it is actually extremely far away from here.

Lu Yuan ran for thousands of miles in one breath, taking nearly an hour to reach the foot of Qiudao Mountain.

As he stood at the foot of the mountain, he felt even more clearly the grandeur and profoundness of this ancient sacred mountain.

As for the steps on Qiudao Mountain, they are exceptionally wide.

Although it is called a staircase, it can actually accommodate dozens of horse-drawn carriages passing side by side.

Hundreds of martial arts practitioners stood on the same step, and it did not feel crowded at all.

Meanwhile, many martial arts practitioners had already arrived at this place and begun to climb upwards.

However, as soon as they stepped onto the steps, their bodies suddenly felt heavy, and they felt a gravity and suppression that were several times stronger than those outside!
Some of the weaker innate martial arts practitioners were panting heavily and drenched in sweat after climbing just a few steps, looking completely exhausted.

Only the most powerful talents on the Hidden Dragon Ranking seemed relaxed and casual, quickly climbing several hundred steps.

If you look up from the foot of the Seeking the Dao Mountain, these martial arts practitioners climbing the mountain look like ants, densely packed, desperately rushing towards the summit.

At this moment, the difference in strength between all martial arts practitioners became immediately apparent.

The Thousand-Legged Taoist has left everyone else in the dust, and with his powerful physical strength, he has already climbed two thousand steps.

As for the successor of the Demon God and Princess Lingyao, they followed closely behind, with a difference of less than a hundred steps between them and the Thousand-Legged Taoist.

Compared to other martial arts practitioners, these three have an almost precipitous lead, making them a unique group.

Behind them were peerless geniuses such as Little Peacock King, Lei Lingzi, Ancient Demon Young Master, and Corpse Immortal Saint Son, who were ranked at the top of the Hidden Dragon List.

The third tier consists of the supreme elders of various sects and forces, as well as some exceptionally talented up-and-coming cultivators.

As for the other ordinary martial arts practitioners, they could only watch helplessly as these people's backs receded further and further away until they finally disappeared from sight.

"Is this the enormous gap between us and the greatest talents of our time?"

Many young innate martial arts practitioners looked dejected and deeply discouraged.

They are renowned geniuses in the outside world, but when they truly face the peerless prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List...

Only then did I realize that the gap between geniuses is even greater than the gap between a human and a dog!
When they exert all their strength to climb a step.

They, however, strolled leisurely up hundreds of steps, and the others couldn't even see their backs.

Many martial arts practitioners sighed, feeling utterly defeated, with even their Dao hearts on the verge of collapse.

But at this time.

A figure arrived first, whizzing past them.

Its speed was so fast that it was like a golden streak of light, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Did you guys see that? It looks like something just passed by?"

The martial artists present exchanged glances, all looking completely bewildered.

"It looks like it's one person?"

Someone hesitated before speaking.

Since their divine sense was suppressed, their vision and perception abilities have declined significantly.

Moreover, the golden light was so fast that they could only see a blurry afterimage!
