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

Chapter 194 Fourth Lifetime: The Secret Realm Closes, and a Nascent Soul Powerhouse Descends!

Half a day later.

A ball of light floated silently in mid-air, emitting a pale yellow glow.

This was none other than the Rank 3 Slave Gu, which Lu Yuan had refined using numerous rare and precious materials!

Once used, it will transform into countless rays of light, merging into the target's body, and can control all creatures at the Core Formation stage and below.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately used the third-stage slave gu on Gao Qi.

"boom!"

As soon as he activated his spiritual power, the slave Gu suddenly exploded, turning into countless rays of light that merged into Gao Qi's body.

"Open your mind and merge with the spirit Gu!"

Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Although with his current strength, he could easily use the slave gu to forcibly control Gao Qi.

However, if Gao Qi actively cooperates, it will undoubtedly save me a lot of hard work.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words.

Gao Qi hesitated for a moment, then gave up all resistance and allowed the slave Gu to merge with him.

On the contrary, the parasites and the demon seed inside his body seemed to sense some kind of threat and immediately emitted a sharp and piercing insect chirp.

The deformed worm waved its tentacles, struggling violently to try and expel all the pale yellow light from its body.

Unfortunately.

When Lu Yuan was deducing the Slave Gu formula, he not only referred to the laws and patterns of the Heavenly Demon Seed, but also incorporated some of his insights about the Parasitic Race.

The slave Gu he refined could not only enslave Core Formation cultivators, but also control the parasites inside their bodies!

Faced with the slave worm, the worm had no power to resist at all. Before long, it merged with the pale yellow light and was completely controlled by Lu Yuan!

"Your subordinate Gao Qi greets your master!"

Gao Qi knelt on one knee, his gaze towards Lu Yuan filled with fervor and loyalty.

It was as if he would go through fire and water for Lu Yuan with just a word, even at the cost of his life!

at the same time.

The pale yellow light from all over Gao Qi's body gathered together to form a soul imprint, which silently merged into the depths of his soul.

The moment the soul imprint appeared, Lu Yuan felt a strange sense of connection.

It was as if he could decide the life and death of Gao Qi and the parasites inside him with just a thought, through that soul imprint!

"Get up."

Lu Yuan said calmly, expressing great satisfaction with the effects of the slave gu.

With the Slave Gu, he could develop a large number of subordinates, spread his spies throughout the major sects, and never have to worry about being betrayed!

Next.

Following the same method, Lu Yuan planted the Slave Gu in other disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The Slave Gu is colorless and formless, and has already merged with the souls of those disciples. Unless Lu Yuan actively exposes it, even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would not be able to detect its existence!
Do it all.

Lu Yuan instructed Gao Qi and the others to rejoin the Heavenly Demon Sect and continue to lie low, while he himself chose a secluded place to patiently wait for the entrance to the Azure Spirit Secret Realm to reopen.

As per usual practice, all the elite disciples can stay in the secret realm for a month.

One month later, all disciples, regardless of their location, will be automatically teleported to the outside world.

However, there were still a few days left before the secret realm closed.

While Lu Yuan was feeling bored, he took out a jade bottle from his storage ring.

Inside the jade bottle, a purple liquid rippled and moved, seemingly formed from lightning symbols, containing immense power of lightning tribulation.

Even a wisp of energy made Lu Yuan's blood and qi much more active.

This is precisely the Thunder Essence Liquid that Lu Yuan obtained from the secret valley!

According to ancient records, Thunder Essence Liquid is a supreme treasure born from the depths of thunder tribulation.

Even a single drop of Thunder Essence Liquid is enough to fetch an astronomical price in the outside world!
After all, many cultivators are skilled in magic, but their physical bodies are relatively weak. This Thunder Essence Liquid is of great benefit in cleansing the physical body and strengthening the physique.

Moreover, although Core Formation experts can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to create a domain unique to themselves.

But how vast and boundless is the power of heaven and earth?
Before the boundless天地 (heaven and earth), even Core Formation cultivators are as insignificant as ants. Even a trace of the power of heaven and earth is enough to crush most cultivators!

Therefore, once you reach the Core Formation stage, tempering your physical body is also a crucial step.

The stronger one's physical body, the more power of heaven and earth one can bear, thereby greatly enhancing one's combat strength!
Like the Vajra Peak of the Medicine Buddha Sect, which follows the path of physical cultivation, disciples who cultivate to the Core Formation stage possess immense strength, like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It can split mountains and cleave the earth, and travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers a day.

With every gesture, they can unleash terrifying power capable of overturning mountains and seas.

Lu Yuan possesses extraordinary comprehension, cultivates both body and techniques, and his combat strength is dozens of times that of cultivators of the same level.

However, this bottle of Thunder Essence Liquid was too small; it could only elevate his Indestructible Vajra Body to the Great Perfection stage.

Otherwise, if you have enough Thunder Essence Liquid.

He will be able to master this technique in an instant, and then he will be able to fight against a Nascent Soul expert without any problem!

Lu Yuan shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Then, with a thought, he tilted his head back and swallowed all the Thunder Essence Liquid into his stomach. It then transformed into a vast amount of energy, spreading from his dantian to his limbs and bones!

"Buzz!"

It was almost the instant the two merged.

Lu Yuan was then engulfed by a vast power of lightning tribulation.

Electricity sparks from the void, runes intertwine.

One after another, the laws of thunder appeared and were imprinted into Lu Yuan's entire body, flesh and bones.

at this moment.

Lu Yuan endured unimaginable pain.

But at the same time.

His physique is also undergoing a rapid transformation, evolving towards a higher level of life!

Driven by Lei Lei Yuan Liquid.

Lu Yuan's momentum continued to rise, eventually breaking through a certain critical point.

"boom!"

His entire body emitted a series of crackling sounds, like popping beans.

His blood and qi surged and surged, propelling him into the mid-stage of Core Formation!

Especially after he absorbed and refined all the Thunder Essence Liquid, his aura became several times stronger than before.

As his eyes opened and closed, flashes of lightning appeared.

All the laws of thunder evolved and intertwined, eventually condensing into a complex and profound pattern, which was imprinted on the surface of the innate spirit gu.

With a little stimulation.

It can then unleash unparalleled destructive power.

Lu Yuan was surrounded by intense lightning.

He was like an ancient god who held lightning and was in charge of divine punishment.

The aura was earth-shattering, terrifying to the extreme!
"Although the effects of Thunder Essence Liquid are not as good as those ten rare treasures of heaven and earth, it is an unparalleled treasure in terms of body tempering!"

Lu Yuan clenched his right fist.

His whole body was surging with energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

He had a feeling now.

It was as if he could crush a peak Core Formation cultivator with a single punch!
of course.

Lu Yuan knew very well what was going on.

This is just an illusion brought about by a sudden increase in strength.

However, if Sun Hong, the chief disciple of the Giant Sword Pavilion, were still alive, Lu Yuan felt that he could easily crush him with just one finger!

After his strength improved, Lu Yuan took out another jade tube. It was imprinted with a complete and superior body-refining technique called "Void Body Refining Technique".

This was also one of Lu Yuan's gains from this trip; he also set up a mental restriction inside the jade talisman.

If the jade talisman falls into the hands of an outsider, this cultivation technique will be automatically destroyed.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged.

He held the jade talisman in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

next moment.

Images and texts about the circulation of Qi and blood immediately appeared in his mind.

Each image has detailed annotations and explanations.

Detailed records can be found in everything from the human meridian diagram to the blood and qi circulation diagram.

Furthermore, these patterns are constantly changing, seemingly actively simulating the circulation of Qi and blood.

Upon seeing these patterns, Lu Yuan had a vague sense of understanding.

The Void Body Refining Technique was created by an ancient powerhouse, and this technique is extremely domineering.

The physical body is a furnace, and all things are firewood.

By transforming itself into the void, it can melt and refine all the energies in the world.

If one cultivates to the highest level, one can even forcibly refine and absorb the blood, qi, and soul of others!
Lu Yuan carefully reviewed it in his mind again.

After confirming that nothing was missing, he took a deep breath.

This is the first time I've tried using this technique.

His entire body's Qi and blood began to circulate according to the "Void Body Refining Technique".

A surge of vital energy emanated from his body, bathing the entire room in a red glow.

As Qi and blood circulate.

His blood and qi surged and boiled like magma.

He himself is like a blazing, eternal furnace, capable of containing endless light and heat!
next moment.

Lu Yuan trembled.

A strange energy flowed into his body and was instantly refined by the Qi and Blood Furnace.

"Is this the basics?"

boom!
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with utter shock.

Wasn't it said that this body-refining method was extremely complicated and difficult to cultivate?
Even the most gifted disciples need a year or two to barely begin to understand it.

But how long have I been using it?
It seems like he just closed his eyes, less than three seconds ago, right?

Superior techniques, mastered in a second?
Such extraordinary comprehension is terrifying!
In the next few days.

Besides cultivating, Lu Yuan traveled throughout the entire secret realm, taking the opportunity to observe the cultivation techniques and secret arts of the geniuses from various sects.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. You have gained valuable insights from observing the poison techniques of the disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, successfully deducing the secret formula for poisonous insects and the method of antidote!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. You instantly bonded with the prodigy of Burning Heaven Valley, opening your heart to him, and comprehended the superior immortal technique, Blazing Sun Burning Heaven Art!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through dedicated study of the disciples of various sects, your understanding of the parasitic race's habits has become increasingly profound.]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary; you combined the Void Body Refining Technique with the Indestructible Vajra Art, successfully deducing the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Gu formula!]

……

A series of prompts from the will of the heavens echoed in Lu Yuan's mind.

His strength, which had just broken through not long ago, has now increased dramatically again, and he is already close to the peak of the Core Formation stage.

In less than a month, he progressed from the Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of the Core Formation stage.

If other cultivators knew about Lu Yuan's cultivation speed, they would probably be astonished!
However, this is the terrifying aspect of his heaven-defying comprehension. He can put Lu Yuan into a state of enlightenment anytime, anywhere, and he can become stronger even while eating and sleeping!
But as time goes by.

Everyone could feel the growing sense of rejection from this place.

Lu Yuan knew very well that this was a sign that the Azure Spirit Secret Realm was about to close, and all the disciples would be forcibly expelled.

“Master, the major sects suffered heavy casualties this time, and the other Nascent Soul experts will definitely not let it go. Under the strict investigation of the major forces.”

"Even if we have a way to conceal our presence, it will probably be difficult to get away with it."

Gao Qi knelt on one knee, his face filled with worry.

Although the trials in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm were brutal in previous years, they were at least kept within a controllable range.

However, the commotion Lu Yuan caused this time was too great, resulting in the complete annihilation of all the talented disciples of the Giant Sword Pavilion and the Northern Cold Sect.

As for the other sects, they weren't much better off. They were either completely betrayed by Lu Yuan or had slave Gu poisoned by him.

without any exaggeration.

Almost none of the outstanding disciples who participated in this trial have survived to this day unscathed.

Moreover, a chief disciple like Sun Hong had already left behind his natal spirit tablet before participating in the trial.

If Gao Qi's guess was correct, the Nascent Soul experts outside had already learned of the deaths of Sun Hong and the others immediately.

Once they leave the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, they will inevitably be subjected to rigorous questioning by many Nascent Soul experts.

Given the Northern Cold Sect's style of "better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," even if Lu Yuan could change his appearance with the Formless Gu, he would still inevitably face mortal danger.

"You're right, going out would be suicide."

Lu Yuan naturally understood this as well.

It should be noted that the disciples who are able to participate in this trial are all elite talents selected through rigorous processes.

They are either core disciples of a certain lineage, successors of a Core Formation elder, or leading figures of the younger generation.

The loss of even one person can cause many Core Formation cultivators to jump up and down in heartache.

Now that all the disciples have been wiped out, it would probably be enough to make a Nascent Soul expert vomit blood, and even a Deity Transformation expert might personally descend!
"Going out is too risky; we must find another way out."

As Lu Yuan gazed into the distance and saw the valley located in the heart of the secret realm, a bold idea immediately came to mind.

Half a day later.

An irresistible teleportation force suddenly descended.

All the disciples felt their bodies sink, followed by a dizzying sensation as if the stars were shifting.

When they regained consciousness, they found that they had left the secret realm and successfully returned to the mountains!

Before they could return to their respective sects, a vast and mighty force of divine might swept across endless space and time, instantly descending upon this place.

"This is... a Nascent Soul stage expert?"

Feeling this earth-shattering and terrifying power, all the Nascent Soul experts, including Yun Mingzi and Sect Leader Huiming, trembled with fear and looked extremely horrified.

This is a terrifying existence that stands at the very top of the Southern Region!

In the world of cultivation, cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are revered as great beings by everyone.

Because they can not only roam the void, but also pluck stars and seize the moon.

It can also imprint the soul mark on heaven and earth, claiming that the Great Dao is immortal and the primordial spirit is indestructible.

Even if the entire body is ground to dust, as long as a sliver of the soul remains, it can instantly return to its original state!

With the extraordinary abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, one can refine a star in an instant, and even breaking through the void and creating a secret realm is no problem.

Terrifying beings like those at the Nascent Soul stage are high above, looking down upon all living beings, and rarely appear in the world.

But if they do show up, it means something earth-shattering is about to happen!
The aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator before them was chilling and bone-piercing, like the ancient ice deep within the Nine Nether Hells. He was clearly the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Northern Cold Sect!

"We pay our respects to our senior!"

Meet this person.

All the Nascent Soul experts present hurriedly bowed, fearing that they might offend the other party.

However, Bei Hanzi didn't even glance at them, instead sweeping his gaze over all the talented disciples.

next second.

All the disciples had splitting headaches, and their souls felt like they were about to collapse.

The memories in their minds formed countless images, all of which were displayed before that Nascent Soul cultivator!
