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

Chapter 182 Fourth Life: Azure Spirit Secret Realm, Demonic Cultivator!

Medicine Buddha Sect.

The main hall of the sect.

The sect leader Huiming and the other three peak masters looked at Lu Yuan with gleaming eyes, as if they had found a priceless treasure.

"Foundation building at the age of three!"

"Such talent is rare, not to mention my Medicine Buddha Sect, even in the entire Southern Region or even the entire Spirit Realm."

"As far as I know, perhaps only those few immortal sects in the Central Continent that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years still have such monstrous talents."

The abbot of Bodhi Peak sighed.

In his youth, he traveled extensively, covering most of the Southern Region. His knowledge and experience far surpassed those of other Nascent Soul experts.

Lu Yuan stood obediently in the sect's main hall, but he also gained a lot of useful information from the conversation of several Nascent Soul experts.

According to the Bodhi Peak Master, this parasitic cultivation world is called the Spirit Realm.

The Spirit Realm is vast and boundless. If divided by region, it can be roughly divided into five major regions: the Southern Region, the Northern Wilderness, the Western Desert, the Central Continent, and the Eastern Sea.

Each of these great domains is incredibly vast, spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to fly from the Southern Region to the Northern Wilderness in their entire life.

Perhaps only the most powerful beings, such as those at the Nascent Soul stage, are qualified to traverse all realms, but even so, they may not know just how vast the entire Spirit Realm truly is.

The Medicine Buddha Sect has a history of thousands of years and has had several Nascent Soul experts in each generation, making it one of the five top forces in the Southern Region.

However, with the rise of the Northern Cold Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Medicine Buddha Sect suffered a severe blow, and its subordinate forces were gradually devoured.

If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, the Medicine Buddha Sect will decline and fall out of the ranks of the top powers in the Southern Region!

Originally, Sect Leader Huiming and the three peak masters were very worried about this, but Lu Yuan's appearance gave them a glimmer of hope!
"Sect Leader, if I remember correctly, the Qingling Secret Realm will open again in five years, right?"

The peak master of Lingyao Peak asked.

"That's right. The Azure Spirit Secret Realm is a small world created by a powerful being with supreme magic power, and it only opens once every ten years."

"This place is a world unto itself, rich in spiritual energy, making it easier to comprehend the power of laws. If ordinary cultivators can step into it, they can save decades of hard work!"

A hint of worry flashed across Master Huiming's brow.

The Azure Spirit Secret Realm contains many rare and precious natural treasures and artifacts. In particular, this place has begun to take shape as a small world, and every ten years it will condense a different fragment of the laws of heaven and earth.

These fragments of the law are severely incomplete and have little effect on Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator obtains one of the law fragments, they can not only condense a higher quality Golden Core, but also greatly enhance their own aptitude and potential.

There was once a Foundation Establishment cultivator of mediocre talent who luckily obtained a fragment of the Sword Dao Law in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

From then on, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and within a short hundred years he successfully stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, becoming a supreme expert renowned throughout the Southern Region.

Such an opportunity can be described as a complete transformation, defying the heavens and changing one's fate!
Therefore, the Azure Spirit Secret Realm is also hailed by countless powerful figures as the supreme holy land for Core Formation!
Each time it is activated, it will attract significant attention from the entire Southern Region.

By then.

The five top powers and other sects will send their most outstanding disciples to the secret realm to compete for opportunities and fortuitous encounters, thereby seizing that sliver of a chance to form a core.

"During the last Qingling Secret Realm trial, my Medicine Buddha Sect only managed to obtain one kind of Law Fragment, and was completely overwhelmed by those bastards from the Northern Cold Sect."

"If Lu Yuan participates in this trial, he will definitely be able to vent his anger!"

The Vajra Peak Master snorted coldly, clearly showing his disgust for the Northern Cold Sect.

"However, I believe this move is somewhat inappropriate."

After pondering for a while, the Bodhi Peak Master suddenly spoke up in opposition.

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to just stand by and watch the Northern Cold Sect take advantage of us?"

The peak master of Vajra Peak had a fiery temper and immediately questioned him angrily.

"The Azure Spirit Secret Realm is an unparalleled place for Core Formation, and the competition is extremely fierce every time. At the same time, major forces will also take the opportunity to suppress the talented disciples of rival sects."

"Based on past practice, the casualty rate in the trial is at least 40%!"

"With Lu Yuan's talent, he only needs to cultivate step by step to form the Golden Core. There is absolutely no need for him to take risks."

The voice of the Bodhi Peak Master was deafening, silencing the Vajra Peak Master and the others.

After all, he was right.

If an ordinary genius disciple were to perish, it would cause them a little heartache, but it wouldn't be considered a serious injury.

After all, the Medicine Buddha Sect is a large and powerful family with a deep foundation, so this loss is nothing.

However, Lu Yuan is exceptionally talented and is the hope and key to the rise of the Medicine Buddha Sect. If anything were to happen to him, all the Nascent Soul experts present would likely become sinners against the sect!

"Moreover, the laws of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm are not perfect. The higher one's talent, the easier it is to suffer from qi deviation. Have you all forgotten the lesson of the Shepherd Spirit Sect two hundred years ago?"

The Bodhi Peak Master once again uttered a startling statement.

Upon hearing the name "Muling Sect," Sect Leader Huiming and the other two peak masters underwent a dramatic change in expression, with an overwhelming sense of fear flashing deep in their eyes!
Because the Shepherd Spirit Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years, its foundation is deeper than that of the Medicine Buddha Sect, and it has more than twenty Nascent Soul experts.

In addition, there are three Nascent Soul stage elders in charge!

It is undoubtedly the number one sect in the Southern Region!

Before him, the Northern Cold Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons were nothing more than his vassal underlings, clinging to life by his nose.

However, the Muling Sect once produced an unparalleled genius whose talent was so extraordinary that he was known as the number one prodigy in the Southern Region!

However, when he was forming his core in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, he accidentally suffered a qi deviation and became possessed by a demon. From then on, he betrayed his sect and willingly fell into the demonic path.

Then, in just one hundred years, he successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm and personally led the demonic cultivators to attack the sect.

That battle was devastating, terrifying to the extreme.

The three Nascent Soul stage ancestors of the Muling Sect were severely injured and soon passed away with resentment.

As a result, the entire sect fell into decline, and with its strength depleted, it was devoured by various powerful forces.

The once mighty and number one sect in the Southern Region vanished without a trace, never to exist again!
After considering these factors, Master Huiming and the others completely abandoned the idea of ​​sending Lu Yuan to the Qingling Secret Realm.

But when Lu Yuan heard this secret, his heart stirred slightly, and he vaguely guessed what it was.

Going crazy?

Falling into the demonic path?

"Could it be that the genius of the Shepherd Spirit Sect accidentally discovered the truth of this world when he was forming his core?"

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

The Heavenly Dao of this realm is distorted and deformed, which can obscure the truth of parasitic cultivation, but it is not without its flaws.

Because some exceptionally talented cultivators may enter a state of oneness with heaven and man when breaking through their cultivation realm, they can easily perceive abnormalities in themselves and in the heavenly way.

He then realized the truth about being parasitized, and that the entire cultivation world was a giant insect nest!
The hosts who can discover this matter are mostly the most outstanding and talented individuals in the sect. Once they wake up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

For example, the Shepherd Spirit Sect is a bloody example.

At the same time, Lu Yuan was also very curious.

If even a Core Formation cultivator could detect something amiss, then did Sect Leader Huiming, a Nascent Soul expert, and the three peak masters of the Medicine Buddha Sect know that they were being parasitized by the insectoid race?
Or did they know the truth about this matter but still choose to aid and abet the evildoer?

Lu Yuan recalled the medicine bestowed by the Stone Buddha and the attitude of Sect Leader Huiming towards him in his life's story, and he already had his answer. Moreover, the three peak masters of the Medicine Buddha Sect seemed to be showing him great care and concern.

But behind this, there may be some reason that they are unaware of!

Something happened here.

Headmaster Huiming told Lu Yuan to return to his cave to cultivate, but Lu Yuan, citing his lack of experience, asked to go to the Scripture Pavilion to look through the scriptures.

Master Huiming, without suspicion, nodded and immediately agreed to his request.

Theoretically speaking.

Only disciples who have made contributions to the sect are qualified to go to the Scripture Pavilion to select cultivation techniques.

But Lu Yuan was born extraordinary, having established his foundation at the age of three, so he didn't need to follow these sect rules at all.

The Medicine Buddha Sect has a profound history, and its library contains a vast collection of books, including tens of thousands of techniques and secret manuals from all over the world.

These techniques encompass a wide range of aspects, with complete and comprehensive cultivation methods from Qi Refining to the Nascent Soul stage.

Not only that.

The library also contains a wealth of miscellaneous essays and anecdotes, as well as numerous ancient books.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed and simply moved it into the library. He devoted himself to studying magic day and night, forgetting even the passage of time.

Rabbits run and crows fly.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan is eight years old.

During these five years, apart from eating, sleeping, and feeding a few Gu worms in his spare time, he spent the rest of his time reading books and comprehending the laws.

Thanks to his god-like talent of extraordinary comprehension, Lu Yuan can learn any technique with ease, mastering it at a glance.

Now, after five years of accumulation, he has almost read through all the tens of thousands of scriptures in the library.

without any exaggeration.

His current foundation and accumulated knowledge are so profound that no one in the entire Medicine Buddha Sect can surpass him.

Especially with the help of these techniques and scriptures, Lu Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the Gu Dao.

Whether it's raising gu, refining gu, or using gu, they have all gained their own insights and understanding!

"boom!"

When Lu Yuan closed the last scripture, his strength naturally reached the perfect Foundation Establishment stage.

For the past five years, he has devoted all his attention to reading scriptures, and has even neglected his cultivation.

With the added advantage of his extraordinary comprehension, he could easily enter a state of enlightenment even while eating or sleeping.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's innate spirit gu is a rare and extraordinary gu. Even if he doesn't cultivate, the innate spirit gu will automatically absorb impure spiritual energy from the outside world, refine it into pure energy, and then feed it back to Lu Yuan.

This also means.

Even if Lu Yuan just lies down and sleeps every day, he can automatically become stronger!
"After Foundation Establishment, the next step is Core Formation. I follow the path of Gu cultivation. I only need to raise the innate spiritual Gu to the third level to smoothly step into the next realm."

"However, the innate spirit gu is different from others. I'm afraid it will be difficult to upgrade it to the third level."

Lu Yuan said with a headache.

The rarer and more precious the Gu worms are, the more valuable the materials needed for refining them will be.

Previously, when Lu Yuan was refining the second-stage natal Gu, he combined the innate Qi with the spirit-gathering Gu to obtain the innate spirit Gu.

If Lu Yuan wants to upgrade his Innate Spirit Gu to the third level, he will probably need to use a rare treasure from heaven and earth that can rival Innate Qi.

However, such a rare item is an unparalleled treasure, and it is estimated that the entire Medicine Buddha Sect could not find more than a few of them.

Even if they existed, they would be firmly held in the hands of Master Huiming and a few other Nascent Soul experts, and it would be impossible for him to obtain them easily.

Of course, given Lu Yuan's talent and his important position in the hearts of Master Huiming and others.

If he were to ask for it, even if Sect Leader Huiming was reluctant, he would likely have to part with a portion of the sect's resources.

However, in that case, Sect Leader Huiming would inevitably ask Lu Yuan about the purpose and whereabouts of these rare and wondrous objects.

Such a rare object is of great importance, and it cannot be easily dismissed with a few words.

If Lu Yuan cannot come up with a convincing reason, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Master Huiming and the others.

"It seems I'll have to figure this out myself."

Lu Yuan was unwilling to take the risk and ultimately gave up the idea.

It was at this time.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the attic.

"Boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by a slightly harsh knock, a voice in an extremely respectful tone broke the silence of the library.

"May I ask if Senior Brother Lu is here? The Sect Leader and three Supreme Elders request your presence in the main hall of the sect, saying they have important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

He put down the scriptures in his hand, stood up, pushed open the door and went out, where he saw a young novice monk with a tender face waiting nervously at the door.

This person is about the same age as Lu Yuan. He has already successfully entered the Qi Refining stage at the age of eight. Even in the Medicine Buddha Sect, he can be considered a rare genius.

But when he saw Lu Yuan, who was even younger than himself, he immediately bowed and greeted him.

"Disciple Xuanxin greets Senior Brother Lu."

"You are Xuanxin?" Lu Yuan looked at the young monk's familiar, youthful face and then remembered the other's identity.

In the course of his life's story, Xuanxin was initially just a follower by his side.

However, he was of mediocre talent, less than one-tenth of Lu Yuan's.

Later, his limbs were cut off by the sect leader Huiming, and he was soaked in some strange liquid. Eventually, his personality changed drastically, and he mastered the Buddhist supernatural ability of divine foot.

His strength also improved by leaps and bounds, making him the youngest Nascent Soul expert in the Medicine Buddha Sect, and he personally killed Lu Yuan, who had gone mad from his cultivation.

However, Lu Yuan possesses an extraordinary level of comprehension in this life simulation.

He began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of two and established his foundation at the age of three, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Medicine Buddha Sect. Even Sect Leader Huiming and the other three peak masters vied to take Lu Yuan as their disciple.

This caused a complete change in the original simulation experience. If Xuanxin hadn't reappeared in front of him, Lu Yuan would have almost forgotten about her.

At this moment, in Lu Yuan's line of sight.

Xuanxin, who appears youthful and inexperienced, actually has half of his face eaten away by insects, leaving only empty eye sockets and countless maggots crawling in and out of his flesh.

His skin was already eroded and covered with insect eggs and pustules, but his internal organs were still relatively normal.

However, considering the reproduction rate of parasites...

It is estimated that in a few years, Xuanxin's internal organs will become twisted and deformed due to the worms eating them.

"Do you know why the sect leader has summoned me?"

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze, his heart unmoved.
