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

Chapter 193 Fourth Lifetime: Subduing the Demonic Cultivator, Third-Turn Slave Gu!
"Boom!"

Under the horrified gazes of all the cultivators.

Lu Yuan soared into the sky, facing the boundless sea of ​​lightning.

As if enraged, the sea of ​​lightning immediately condensed into nine bolts of lightning as thick as buckets, which struck down towards him.

"Well come."

Lu Yuan was not angry, but pleased.

The tribulation of lightning represents the power of heaven and earth, and is also a manifestation of the power of laws.

Normally, only when a Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through and attempts to control the power of the laws of heaven and earth will a trace of lightning tribulation be triggered.

However, the Formless Gu can only become a peerless spirit Gu after undergoing the baptism of lightning tribulation and reaching the fourth level!
"Crack!"

Lightning bolts rained down from the sky, crashing down on Lu Yuan and the ball of light.

A dazzling divine light emerged from the surface of the ball of light, forming a barrier that protected it and withstood all the lightning tribulations.

Arcs of electricity flew everywhere, and thunder roared.

The ball of light, however, absorbed all the power of the lightning tribulation as if it were a whale swallowing a dreg!
Ten ways!

Forty questions!
Forty-eight ways!

"Next, only the final lightning tribulation remains."

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn as he looked up at the sky.

The sky was filled with a sea of ​​lightning, which slowly rotated and gradually formed a thundercloud vortex. At the center of the vortex, all the energy gathered together, forming an unprecedentedly terrifying lightning tribulation.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning pierced the void, striking down from the sky and silencing the entire world!
Even before the tribulation lightning arrived, an immense pressure spread out, making all the cultivators standing at a distance feel their scalps tingle and their livers and gallbladders tremble!
"What exactly is Lu Yuan doing? Even a Nascent Soul cultivator's tribulation lightning might not be this terrifying!"

All the cultivators were dumbfounded, their bodies trembling slightly.

"I wonder if the Formless Gu can withstand this attack."

Seeing this terrifying power, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Although the Wuxiang Gu has reached the fourth level, it has no combat power and may not be able to withstand this final lightning tribulation.

But after a while, Lu Yuan realized that his worries were unnecessary.

As the lightning tribulation dissipated, the ball of light became even more solid and crystal clear, like a clear, transparent rhomboid crystal!
The crystal shimmered with light, dreamlike and ethereal, and many faces appeared.

Every face represents an identity!
"The Four-Turn Formless Gu is finally complete!"

Lu Yuan let out a long breath, and the weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.

Although the Formless Gu does not enhance combat power, it can help Lu Yuan change his appearance and conceal his aura and strength, so that even Nascent Soul experts cannot see through his disguise!

With this Gu, Lu Yuan no longer needs to worry about his identity being exposed.

From then on.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.

The world is vast, there's nowhere we shouldn't go!

"With this Gu, I no longer need to worry so much about what I do in the future, and I can also try to make contact with the demonic cultivators."

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed as he stored the Formless Gu in his dantian, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Half a day later.

In a dimly lit cave, a demonic cultivator suffered a splitting headache and it took him a while to slowly wake up from his unconsciousness.

"This is where?"

Gao Qi covered the large, swollen bump on his head and looked around in confusion.

He remembered that he and his group were hiding in the shadows setting up a formation when they were suddenly ambushed.

What made Gao Qi even more uneasy was that now his limbs were bound and his cultivation was completely sealed. Any wild beast or ordinary person wielding a stone weapon could kill him!
"You are from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Just then, a deep, resonant voice came from behind him.

Gao Qi turned around and saw a burly, unremarkable young man with short hair standing in the shadows.

The young man's features were blurred and indistinct, except for a pair of deep eyes that shone like stars, giving him an extremely strong sense of oppression!
"You jest, sir. Our Qingfeng Temple is a reputable and righteous sect. How could we possibly associate with those inhuman demonic cultivators?"

Gao Qi forced a smile, but his heart sank.

Because from the young man's unequivocal tone, it was clear that this person knew him inside and out and probably already knew his origins!

But as soon as Gao Qi thought of this, he immediately shook his head, denying the guess.

Their Heavenly Demon Sect's secret technique for concealing their aura can even deceive many Nascent Soul experts, so how could it be easily discovered by others?
Moreover, all the major sects regard all demonic cultivators as their mortal enemies. If they discover the whereabouts of demonic cultivators, they will definitely kill them immediately without leaving any future troubles.

If this young man truly came from a prestigious family, how could he have been kept alive until now?

"Could this person also be a demonic cultivator, or perhaps a prodigy from some sect who stumbled upon the parasitic truth of this world?"

Gao Qi racked his brains, and many guesses came to mind.

Although he didn't know the other party's identity, one thing was absolutely certain: the other party had gone to great lengths to capture him alive.

This shows that I still have value to this young man; otherwise, he would never have wasted his breath talking to me.

“Your demonic cultivation techniques are flawed. If you cultivate them to the end, not only will you be unable to deal with the parasite race, but you will also cause endless trouble.”

Lu Yuan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qi's expression changed drastically, and he became extremely agitated, struggling to stand up from the ground.

But with his hands and feet bound, no matter how hard he tried, he could only roll on the ground.

"Who exactly are you, and how do you know about the affairs of my Demonic Sect?"

Gao Qi looked stunned, his heart filled with turmoil.

While Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators can still maintain a certain degree of autonomy.

The consciousness and soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator have been completely assimilated by the Zerg, and they have long since become deformed beings, half-human and half-insect.

Therefore, the fact that parasitic cultivation and demonic cultivation techniques have drawbacks is not a secret among the high-ranking members of various forces.

But judging from the aura Lu Yuan exuded, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could he know about this?
"No, you're not a parasitic cultivator, this aura is...?!"

Gao Qi stared intently at Lu Yuan, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.

Because not only did Lu Yuan not conceal his aura, but in order to gain Gao Qi's trust, he deliberately revealed a trace of the fluctuation of the innate spiritual Gu in front of him.

After all, Gao Qi is now just a cripple, and his life or death is entirely in Lu Yuan's hands.

Even if he knew Lu Yuan's identity as a Gu cultivator, there was nothing he could do.

In this world, the innate spirit gu is like a blazing sun in the darkness.

Even though Gao Qi had lost all his cultivation and his five senses were sealed, he could still clearly feel that unique and peculiar aura!
"How is this possible? You're actually a Gu cultivator?"

Gao Qi was struck dumb and couldn't accept this fact for a long time.

Since the distortion of the Heavenly Dao in this world, the Gu Dao lineage has been completely eliminated and disappeared into the long river of history.

Even if someone in later generations occasionally manages to obtain a trace of the Gu Dao inheritance, they will be swiftly eliminated by the Heavenly Dao and will never be able to grow up.

The Gu path is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

That's why.

Many demonic cultivators knew that spirit worms were the natural enemy of all parasites, yet they were still forced onto a path of no return.

But what does he see now?
A living Gu cultivator?
Gao Qi scrutinized Lu Yuan repeatedly before finally having to accept this unbelievable news.

At the same time, he was also very curious about how Lu Yuan had managed to survive until now.
After all, Gu cultivators are despised by heaven and earth, and once they appear, they will be hunted down by all parasitic cultivators. Moreover, hiding one's identity is not difficult, but deceiving the heavens is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Throughout the entire history of the spirit world, no one has ever been able to do so!
"Since you are a Gu cultivator, you must already know the truth about this world."

"With your strength and abilities, if you were willing to join my Heavenly Demon Sect, you would surely gain the sect leader's attention."

"Our Heavenly Demon Sect takes saving all living beings as its mission. Why don't you join forces with us to completely break free from the control of the parasitic race?"

Gao Qi kept patting himself on the back, which successfully made Lu Yuan laugh.

Although demonic cultivators can use secret techniques to reverse the possession of parasites within their bodies.

But to some extent, they themselves are parasitic cultivators, so how can they break free from the control of the parasitic race?
Moreover, the demonic cultivators' method of possession has huge flaws; who knows what kind of trouble they will cause in the end?

Therefore, Lu Yuan's reason for contacting Gao Qi was not to join the Heavenly Demon Sect, but to make the Heavenly Demon Sect work for him.

Seeing that Lu Yuan remained unmoved, Gao Qi also sighed.

He knew that his words might fool a fool, but which of the geniuses who could participate in this trial wasn't a cunning and shrewd old man?

Moreover, the young man before them was a Gu cultivator of unparalleled skill, whose methods were unfathomable and could even deceive the will of Heaven. How could he possibly join the Heavenly Demon Sect just because of a few words from him?

"In the end, demonic cultivators are nothing more than members of the parasitic race."

"If you're willing to do things for me, perhaps I can help you break free from the Zerg's control."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

The reason why the parasites are so difficult to deal with is that they have become one with the cultivators, forming a distorted symbiotic relationship.

Even if someone can kill the parasite, the cultivator himself cannot survive.

But Lu Yuan is different.

He possesses extraordinary comprehension and inherits the Gu Dao lineage, allowing him to completely replace parasites with spirit Gu, or help demonic cultivators perfect their body-seizing techniques and significantly reduce side effects.

"To do something for you?"

Gao Qi was somewhat tempted.

If given a choice, no one would want to become a half-human, half-insect monster.

If I could stay by the side of a Gu cultivator, I might actually be able to break free from the control of the parasite race in the future.

only……

But then, as if struck by a thought, he shook his head with a bitter expression.

"It's no use. I've already been implanted with the Heavenly Demon Seed, and I can never betray the sect for the rest of my life. Otherwise, I will be devoured by the demon seed and die bleeding from all seven orifices."

"A Heavenly Demon Seed?"

Lu Yuan activated his Eye of Truth and casually glanced at him.

On the surface, Gao Qi was just an ordinary disciple with an unremarkable appearance.

However, from Lu Yuan's perspective, a worm as thick as an adult's arm was coiled in his dantian.

The worm's eyes were closed, but its facial features were somewhat similar to Gao Qi's. Long, viscous tentacles replaced veins and blood vessels, covering all parts of its body.

It exudes an extremely sinister aura, making people feel uneasy all over.

Besides.

A worm egg, the size of a mung bean, is firmly rooted in the center of the parasitic worm's forehead, continuously absorbing nutrients and energy from the worm.

Lu Yuan possessed extraordinary comprehension and could see at a glance that this insect egg could not only control Gao Qi's life and death, but also plunder a large amount of spiritual energy from his body, thereby accelerating the growth rate of the insect egg!

When the insect egg grows to a certain stage, it will hatch, absorb all the energy and vitality of the host, and then return to the mother body to enhance the mother body's strength!
"Your Heavenly Demon Sect Master has quite the methods, actually using disciples from your sect to cultivate demonic arts."

Lu Yuan sneered.

It is true that all crows are black.

Whether it's a prestigious sect like the Medicine Buddha Sect or a demonic force like the Heavenly Demon Sect, they all say one thing and do another.

The only difference between the two is that, at least the respectable ones don't behave as badly.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gao Qi also fell silent.

Demonic cultivators are ruthless and unscrupulous, and they don't care about the lives of others at all.

The so-called responsibility to all living beings and to break free from the control of the parasitic race is nothing more than a deceptive slogan.

"I can help you get rid of the Heavenly Demon Seed, but in return, you must work for me and never betray me for the rest of your life."

Lu Yuan spoke up.

Gao Qi's expression shifted slightly, then he fell silent.

If anyone else had said that to him, he would never have believed it, not even if you beat him to death.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master is a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator with unfathomable strength, and even many top forces in the Southern Region are unwilling to provoke him rashly.

The Heavenly Demon Great Art is an unparalleled secret technique passed down through generations of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and only the successive leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect are qualified to cultivate it.

Once a disciple of the sect is implanted with the Heavenly Demon Seed, unless the Heavenly Demon Sect Master actively removes the restriction, even other Nascent Soul stage experts are helpless against it.

How could Lu Yuan, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly have a way to resolve the Heavenly Demon Seed within him?

But when Gao Qi thought of Lu Yuan's identity as a Gu cultivator, a glimmer of hope resurfaced in his heart.

It's better to follow a Gu cultivator with unlimited potential than to stay in the Demonic Sect and become the sect leader's cultivation material!

Think of this.

Gao Qi no longer hesitated and knelt down on one knee.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."

But at the same time.

The parasite egg that was living on his heart seemed to sense something and suddenly emitted a sharp, piercing chirp.

A sharp pain struck, causing Gao Qi's heart to ache terribly, his head to break out in a cold sweat, and he almost fainted on the spot!
"How dare you act so presumptuously from mere insect eggs?"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and immediately activated the innate spirit gu, releasing an aura.

Feel this breath.

The worms inside Gao Qi's body, as well as the worm egg, were writhing restlessly, as if they were sensing a strong life-or-death crisis.

They dared not make any further rash moves and soon fell into silence!

Then Lu Yuan used his True Eye of Truth to stare at the patterns and marks on the surface of the insect egg.

It didn't take long.

The voice of the will of the heavens resounded in his mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By observing the Dao traces of the Heavenly Demon Seed, you have successfully deduced the method for refining the Third-Rank Slave Gu!]

"A third-stage slave curse?"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

As the name suggests.

The greatest function of the Slave Gu is to control other cultivators or creatures.

Furthermore, once the slave curse is implanted, the other party will never be able to escape Lu Yuan's control.

His life and death, his very existence, were all in the hands of a single thought.

Moreover, the higher the level of the Gu worm, the more powerful the cultivator it can control.

For example, the third-level slave gu can only control cultivators at or below the Core Formation stage.

However, if it is a slave gu that reaches the fourth level, it is enough to enslave a Nascent Soul powerhouse!
