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

Chapter 184 The Fourth Generation: Yun Mingzi, the Northern Cold Sect's Attitude!

On the dragon boat.

Lu Yuan stood by the railing of the spirit boat, looking down at the surroundings and scenery with curiosity.

The Southern Region is one of the five regions of the Spirit Realm, and its area is vast and boundless.

It is said to possess 100,000 mountains and hundreds of millions of acres of territory.

Compared to the Southern Region, Niujia Village and Yaofo Sect, where Lu Yuan had previously lived, were nothing more than a speck of dust.

And if just the Southern Region is so vast, how enormous must the entire Spirit Realm be?
Lu Yuan was filled with countless thoughts, realizing that the world was far more vast than he had imagined.

However, when he quietly activated his Eye of Truth, the beautiful scenery below suddenly changed.

Black mist filled the air, and ghosts roamed freely.

Everywhere the vegetation was withered and decaying, it resembled a living hell.

"This world is terminally ill and beyond saving."

Lu Yuan shook his head, looked away, and casually found a room on the ship to rest.

This spirit boat may appear to be only a hundred feet long, but in reality, it contains a vast universe within, with an internal area that is probably larger than a mountain range.

Moreover, it has all the necessary facilities, making it a veritable mobile aerial palace.

The other disciples, intimidated by the imposing authority of Master Huiming, dared not act recklessly.

However, as the number one prodigy of the Medicine Buddha Sect, Lu Yuan did not need to worry about so much.

"boom!"

I don’t know how long it took.

Just as Lu Yuan was in a meditative state, he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

The dragon boat rocked violently, almost capsizing. The disciples on the deck were all thrown about and fell to the ground.

This sudden turn of events affected many disciples.

If it weren't for Sect Leader Huiming activating the protective formation beforehand, many disciples would probably have been seriously injured!

Lu Yuan hurriedly activated his spiritual energy to stabilize himself, a hint of anger flashing deep in his eyes.

Cultivators must avoid being disturbed during their cultivation, otherwise they may suffer backlash from their cultivation techniques or even suffer from qi deviation.

However, this dragon boat is a Nascent Soul level magic weapon, and even ordinary Nascent Soul experts might not be able to shake it in the slightest, let alone with Sect Leader Huiming personally overseeing it.

Now that it has suffered such a severe blow, could it be that some kind of unexpected event has occurred?
Lu Yuan frowned, when suddenly he heard the roar of Master Huiming resound throughout the void.

"Yun Mingzi, you deliberately rammed my sect's boat. Do you really think my Medicine Buddha Sect has no one to rely on?"

Master Huiming gritted his teeth, his eyes practically spitting fire.

The other disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect were also restless, as if they had seen something incredible.

Lu Yuan stepped out of the room and looked up. He saw a massive aerial palace, as huge as a mountain, that had appeared in front of him at some point and collided with the dragon boat.

The dragon boat was a hundred feet long and its area was already quite impressive, but in front of this aerial palace, it was as small as an earthworm!

Above that aerial palace, there were numerous pavilions, shrouded in ethereal mist, making it look like a legendary fairyland.

Hundreds of disciples, all dressed in white robes, stood on the pavilion, looking down at the Medicine Buddha Sect members with arrogant expressions.

These disciples included both men and women.

The female disciple possessed an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a fairy descended from the heavens.

The male disciples were handsome and exceptionally strong, each of them having reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This alone demonstrates just how formidable the opponent's strength and resources truly are.

"Isn't this the Cloud Pavilion of the Northern Cold Sect? Could it be that Bei Mingzi is personally leading the team this time?"

"I have heard that Bei Mingzi is a well-established Nascent Soul expert with a long history of cultivation. His cultivation is so profound that it is no less than that of the sect leader."

"Furthermore, this person has a volatile personality and acts recklessly because he is Ye Chen's master. Even many Nascent Soul stage experts are unwilling to offend him!"

Some of the Medicine Buddha Sect disciples were knowledgeable and immediately recognized the origin of this aerial palace.

"It seems that your Medicine Buddha Sect really has no successors, actually sending a bunch of useless people to participate in this Azure Spirit Secret Realm trial."

An elderly man with white hair and beard appeared from Yunming Pavilion and mocked mercilessly.

This person was none other than Yun Mingzi, the master of Ye Chen, the number one genius in the Southern Region!
With the opening of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, he, as a veteran Nascent Soul expert of the Northern Cold Sect, was responsible for personally leading and escorting the Northern Cold Sect's prodigies to participate in the trials.

They never expected to encounter the Medicine Buddha Sect group on the way.

His actions were erratic; taking advantage of Master Huiming's momentary lapse in attention, he immediately manipulated Yunming Pavilion to crash directly into it.

Although the Panlong Boat is a Nascent Soul level flying magic weapon, the Yunming Pavilion is a supreme treasure created by the Northern Cold Sect with all its might, and its grade is even higher than that of the Panlong Boat.

With full force, it is enough to instantly and severely injure a Nascent Soul expert!
Fortunately, the dragon boat was protected by an array; otherwise, half of the Medicine Buddha Sect disciples would have been either dead or injured!

"Yun Mingzi, you are being so aggressive. Do you really want to start a war with my Medicine Buddha Sect?"

Master Huiming's eyes flashed with cold light, revealing his true anger.

The words have not yet fallen.

A terrifying aura that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly erupted from his body.

Nascent Soul cultivators have already begun to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and can receive the blessing of the power of heaven and earth with every gesture.

When such a being becomes enraged, even the void trembles.

Under the impact of this aura, all the disciples of the Northern Cold Sect gasped for breath, their faces turned deathly pale, and they were no longer as arrogant and disdainful as before!
Because they were shocked to discover that although they held a prestigious position within the sect and were the most favored members of the sect, they were still under the sway of the crowd.

But when they actually faced a Nascent Soul expert, they were no stronger than an ant!
"Half-step Nascent Soul? Huiming's strength has actually increased again?"

Even Yun Mingzi's eyes flashed with a hint of fear upon sensing this terrifying aura.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter what, the Medicine Buddha Sect is one of the five top powers in the Southern Region.

If the Northern Cold Sect were to rashly start a war with them, not only would they gain nothing, but other forces would also take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, Master Huiming's strength is at its peak, and he is only half a step away from the Nascent Soul realm.

If a conflict occurs, it is likely that the Northern Cold Sect will ultimately suffer the consequences.

Yun Mingzi's eyes flickered, and his originally arrogant tone softened considerably.

"Huiming, as a sect leader, it is beneath your dignity to resort to violence so readily. I was just joking."

"joke?"

Upon hearing these utterly shameless words, Master Huiming laughed in anger, but his gaze grew increasingly cold.

"How about I crack a joke for you too?"

Before Yunmingzi could answer, Master Huiming raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

A vast amount of spiritual energy suddenly erupted.

A golden Buddhist seal shot out and rapidly expanded, eventually replacing the sun, moon, and stars, becoming the only one in the world!

Before this Buddhist seal, even the vast and magnificent Yunming Pavilion appeared extremely small! "Damn it! Huiming, have you gone mad?"

Yunmingzi's expression changed drastically; he never expected that Huiming would start a fight so easily.

He hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power, attempting to resist the Buddhist seal.

However, a Nascent Soul cultivator can annihilate stars in the blink of an eye.

Although Master Huiming was only at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, he was still far beyond what he could contend with.

"boom!"

All of Yunmingzi's resistance and struggles were as fragile as paper. The golden Buddhist seal swept through all the defensive formations and slammed heavily onto the surface of Yunming Pavilion!

next second.

The void trembled, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

Many disciples of the Northern Cold Sect were terrified and had not yet reacted before being affected by the vast spiritual power.

One by one, these chosen ones were sent flying backward, spitting out blood, their breaths utterly exhausted.

The power of one blow is so terrifying!
This is why Sect Leader Huiming was unwilling to completely break ties with the Northern Cold Sect; otherwise, that single attack would have been enough to kill all the disciples!
The previously arrogant and domineering Bei Mingzi now had a flushed face and a trace of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury!
"Bei Mingzi, what do you think of my joke?"

Master Huiming vented his anger, and his expression became calm and composed, no longer showing the anger he had before.

In contrast, Bei Mingzi's face was ashen, his eyes filled with rage and resentment.

"Huiming, remember this: the humiliation we suffered today will be repaid tenfold by the Northern Cold Sect!"

"Is it?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Master Huiming's eyes.

As the leader of the Medicine Buddha Sect, he naturally understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.

Moreover, given Yun Mingzi's vengeful nature, if he were allowed to return safely, he would likely cause trouble for the Medicine Buddha Sect in the future.

Rather than letting the tiger return to the mountain, it's better to keep it here and eliminate any future trouble!
Thinking of this, the murderous aura emanating from Master Huiming almost solidified into a tangible form.

But thinking of Ye Chen, he sighed and reluctantly dismissed the idea.

The Northern Cold Sect used to follow the lead of the Medicine Buddha Sect, but it was just a second-rate sect.

If it weren't for the emergence of such a peerless genius, how could they have dared to speak to me like that?
Therefore, for the Northern Cold Sect...

Ye Chen is the most important pillar of strength, and even if Bei Mingzi and the others were to perish unexpectedly, it would be of no consequence!
Master Huiming paused, and the murderous intent in his heart vanished without a trace.

"let's go!"

Sensing the murderous intent of Master Huiming, Beimingzi was terrified and dared not linger there any longer.

He didn't dare utter a single harsh word, and slunk away with many disciples of the Northern Cold Sect.

"This kind of scoundrel dares to be an enemy of my Medicine Buddha Sect?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Master Huiming's face.

The Northern Cold Sect only produced one person, Ye Chen. Otherwise, with these kinds of people, how could they be qualified to be their opponents?
Fortunately, although the Northern Cold Sect had Ye Chen, the Medicine Buddha Sect also produced Lu Yuan, a genius of unparalleled talent!

Ye Chen was only thirty years old when he reached the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm. Such talent is truly astonishing.

However, Lu Yuan began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of two and establishing his foundation at the age of three, so in terms of aptitude, he was still above Ye Chen!

As long as he can grow up smoothly, what is there to fear from Ye Chen and the Northern Cold Sect?
"As expected of the sect leader, he scared everyone away with his own strength."

"Those bastards from the Northern Cold Sect are getting more and more arrogant. They should be taught a lesson!"

"What veteran Nascent Soul expert? He's just an old codger who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

When all the disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect saw Yun Mingzi fleeing in disarray, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

After all, as disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect, their fate and future are closely related to the sect.

The stronger a sect is, the higher its members' status and position will be in the outside world.

Over the years, the Northern Cold Sect has acted recklessly, relying on Ye Chen, and many sect disciples dare not speak out against them.

Now that Master Huiming has made a strong move, all the disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

As for Lu Yuan, he didn't have much of an emotional reaction to this.

In his eyes, whether it was the Medicine Buddha Sect or the Northern Cold Sect, they were nothing more than a group of parasitic cultivators with twisted flesh killing each other.

After this turn of events, the Medicine Buddha Sect group continued their journey.

Half a day later.

A continuous mountain range came into view in the distance, appearing in the field of vision of Lu Yuan and the others.

At this moment, many forces and cultivators have gathered in an open area of ​​the mountain range.

These forces came from all over the southern region, gathering from all corners of the land, and had been waiting here for a long time.

Lu Yuan glanced around and discovered that there were thousands of cultivators in the area, including more than twenty Nascent Soul experts who were rarely seen in normal times.

And the Northern Cold Sect and others they had just encountered were also among them!
However, the Northern Cold Sect members who had previously fled in disarray are now surrounded by many smaller forces and sects.

Yunmingzi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression arrogant, clearly enjoying the flattery from those around him.

"Immortal Master Yunming, it's been many years since we last met. I hope you've been well."

"Great teachers produce great students. Although Ye Chen is exceptionally talented, this is inseparable from the meticulous guidance of Immortal Master Yunmingzi."

"That's right. If it weren't for Immortal Master Yunmingzi's discerning eye, I'm afraid Holy Son Ye Chen would still be unknown in the mortal world, his talent buried!"

These elders from minor sects went to great lengths to flatter Yunmingzi, making him feel incredibly flattered and pleased.

It was at this time.

The dragon boat came from afar and slowly landed on the open ground.

"This is the Medicine Buddha Sect's team? I didn't expect it to be Sect Leader Huiming leading the team personally."

"I heard that the disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect went down the mountain for training, but were attacked by demonic cultivators. Many of their prodigies were killed or injured. I never expected that they would be participating in this trial."

"The Medicine Buddha Sect is a large and powerful family; what is this little loss?"

"However, without a leading figure from the younger generation to guide them, they will probably come in last place again this time."

Many well-informed factions whispered among themselves.

Upon seeing Master Huiming, Yunmingzi immediately snorted coldly, his expression not very pleasant.

Meanwhile, other forces that were on good terms with the Medicine Buddha Sect immediately went to greet them, vying to chat with Sect Leader Huiming.

Although the Medicine Buddha Sect has been somewhat declining in recent years, it has a profound foundation and is skilled in alchemy and medicine making. Even a small amount of resources left over from its grasp are enough to make other forces very rich.

The Azure Spirit Secret Realm will not open for another half day.

Many disciples of the Medicine Buddha Sect had already divided into small teams, but Lu Yuan stood alone in the distance, looking out of place among the others.

Several imposing young men exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards him.

“Senior Brother Lu, every trial is extremely dangerous. Moreover, our Medicine Buddha Sect is a big tree that attracts a lot of attention, making it easier for other forces to target us.”

"As the saying goes, many hands make light work. We are all members of the Medicine Buddha Sect, so why don't we stick together and support each other? Would you be interested in joining our team?"
