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

Chapter 195 Fourth Lifetime: Soul Searching Secret Technique, Harmonizing with Light and Dust!

"Is this the Northern Cold Sect's secret soul-searching technique?"

Seeing those talented disciples screaming and wailing in agony, many Nascent Soul experts showed expressions of pity.

The soul-searching technique is extremely cruel and causes great damage to the soul.

At best, it damages the soul, turning the person into an idiot on the spot; at worst, it causes the soul to collapse, leading to the demise of one's life!
Even if these talented disciples manage to survive by chance, they will become useless for the rest of their lives, with no chance of ever rising again.

"These are all prodigies that the sect has painstakingly nurtured with countless resources."

Many Nascent Soul experts were heartbroken.

However, they dared not show any dissatisfaction when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect had only searched the souls, and even if he had killed all his disciples, these Nascent Soul experts could only applaud and cheer from the sidelines, daring not to utter a single complaint!

As scene after scene appeared, all the cultivators present witnessed the course of this trial.

At the entrance to the valley, disciples of the Northern Cold Sect and the Medicine Buddha Sect got into a verbal altercation, which escalated into a physical fight.

Lu Yuan stormed into the battlefield, forcefully killing Sun Hong and his men, and single-handedly seizing 70% of the treasures and resources...

Many Nascent Soul experts watched with trepidation, secretly marveling at the spectacle.

Lu Yuan began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of two and establishing his foundation at the age of three. His aptitude was already extraordinary, but his combat strength was also terrifying.

Alone, he slaughtered hundreds of prodigies!
What terrifying methods and combat power this is?

Most importantly, Lu Yuan is only eight years old!
If he grows up, surpassing Ye Chen in the future will be no problem!

"It's a pity that this boy is too bloodthirsty and has caused a huge disaster. Even if the patriarch of the Medicine Buddha Sect personally intervenes, he will not be able to save him!"

Thinking of this, many Nascent Soul experts sighed inwardly, all feeling sorry for Lu Yuan.

"Excellent! Your Medicine Buddha Sect has truly nurtured a peerless genius!"

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect had an icy expression, his gaze fixed on Sect Leader Huiming, the anger in his chest almost tangible.

Especially when he saw Lu Yuan snap Ye Mo's neck and slaughter all the disciples of the Northern Cold Sect, he was so angry that his face turned ashen.

With a cold snort, before any of the surviving geniuses of the Medicine Buddha Sect could react, their heads exploded, turning them into headless corpses!

"Senior, you..."

Sect Leader Huiming dared not speak out against his anger and could only watch helplessly as all his disciples died before his eyes.

However, these disciples were just there to make up the numbers, so it wouldn't matter if they all died.

The most urgent task is to figure out another more important question: where did Lu Yuan go?

Not only Master Huiming, but all the powerful figures were also very puzzled by this.

After the Qingling Secret Realm closes, all surviving prodigies will be forcibly teleported to the outside world.

But where is Lu Yuan, the culprit behind all this?
The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect was furious and immediately intensified the soul-searching efforts.

No matter how hard he searched their souls, even if all his disciples bled from their seven orifices and died, he could not find any trace of Lu Yuan.

It was as if Lu Yuan had vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace!
The Northern Cold Sect's patriarch's eyes flashed. Since Lu Yuan had not yet shown himself, there were only two possibilities left.

The first possibility is that Lu Yuan is already dead.

However, since this young man was able to kill Sun Hong and acquire ten kinds of rare treasures, he must now possess the combat power of a Core Formation cultivator.

With his strength, he could practically roam freely in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, and few beings could threaten him.

Therefore, only the second possibility remains.

Lu Yuan forcibly stayed in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm using some means!
"If this child is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat to our sect!"

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect had a cold look in his eyes, and his killing intent toward Lu Yuan had reached its peak.

Lu Yuan's terrifying talent surpasses even Ye Chen's.

If he doesn't die, the Northern Cold Sect will never have peace of mind.

We must nip Lu Yuan in the bud, no matter the cost!

"Ancestor, this boy is treacherous and cunning. What if he continues to hide in the secret realm?"

Yunmingzi asked with concern.

After the Azure Spirit Secret Realm closes, it will disappear into the void, and even a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch will not be able to pinpoint its location.

If they want to deal with Lu Yuan, they can only wait until the next secret realm opens.

However, due to the incomplete laws governing the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, it cannot withstand too much power, and only cultivators below the Core Formation stage can enter this place.

of course.

If someone can break through to the Core Formation realm in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, they will be recognized by the laws of the Secret Realm, and will not be rejected even if they use Core Formation combat power.

There are still ten years until the next opening of the secret realm.

In these ten years, how far will Lu Yuan grow with his talent?
At that time, let alone the elite talents of various forces, even Yun Mingzi himself might not be a match for Lu Yuan!
"It's alright. To reach the Nascent Soul stage, one must merge with the heavens and earth and comprehend the complete laws and Dao traces. If he stays in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, he will eventually become a cripple!"

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect sneered.

A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.

The Azure Spirit Secret Realm is just a broken little world. If Lu Yuan stays there for too long, he will only ruin his future and will no longer be able to pose a threat to them.

Then the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect threw out a large number of array flags and set up layers of magic arrays to seal off the entire mountain range with supreme divine power.

No one can enter or leave this place until the next secret realm opens!

This trial ended in a way that no one expected.

All the sects and forces dispersed one after another, and the mountain range returned to normal.

Inside the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

Lu Yuan stood atop a mountain peak, overlooking the entire land shrouded in black mist, but his thoughts drifted involuntarily into the distance.

Just as the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect had guessed.

Before the Azure Spirit Secret Realm closes.

Lu Yuan used his extraordinary comprehension to deduce the Three-Turn Harmony and Dust-Shaping Gu from the laws of heaven and earth.

This Gu can mimic the laws and traces of the Dao, perfectly integrating into this world.

This allowed Lu Yuan, Gao Qi, and the others to remain in the secret realm, thus evading the search by the Northern Cold Sect's patriarch.

Otherwise, with the abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, no matter how well Gao Qi and the others concealed themselves, they would be exposed at a glance.

Although Lu Yuan temporarily escaped death, another new problem has arisen before him.

The laws of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm are severely incomplete; if he stays here for too long, he will inevitably be affected.

"This place is not safe to stay for long. It seems we need to find a way to leave as soon as possible."

"However, every cloud has a silver lining. The Azure Spirit Secret Realm isolates the heavens and earth, which can greatly weaken the control and influence of the Heavenly Dao on cultivators."

"I could take this opportunity to try and see if I can convert Gao Qi and the others into Gu cultivators!"

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan immediately began to try it out.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For many cultivators, ten years is merely a matter of going into seclusion.

But in these ten years, the entire Qingling Secret Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Ten years later, when a new group of disciples cautiously stepped into this world, even with their low cultivation levels, they could clearly sense the strangeness of this place. The first was the spiritual energy.

The Azure Spirit Realm is a world unto itself, with many ruins protected by multiple magical formations that can greatly reduce the erosion of the Heavenly Dao and the pollution of impure spiritual energy.

Through tireless research and experimentation, and with his extraordinary comprehension, Lu Yuan finally succeeded in perfecting and restoring many ancient magic arrays!

When these ancient magic arrays operate at full power, much of the impure spiritual energy is refined into pure energy, making it more suitable for Gu cultivators.

However, what is honey to me is poison to him.

This pure energy is an incomparably potent poison to parasitic cultivators!

When parasitic cultivators are enveloped in pure energy, the parasitic larvae within them are not only unable to draw any energy from the outside world, but their strength is also greatly weakened, making them even more frail.

This makes it easier for many cultivators to go astray and become possessed by demons, thus realizing the truth about parasitism!

Second point.

Some disciples with keen senses felt like they were being watched and spied on as soon as they entered the secret realm.

It was as if a pair of eyes were watching their every move from the shadows!
"Senior brother, I feel a chill down my spine, like someone is watching us? Could it be that demon Lu Yuan is still alive?"

A timid female disciple, her face pale with fright, spoke in a trembling voice.

"Lu Yuan?"

Upon hearing these two words, everyone's expression changed drastically, as if they had heard some kind of taboo.

Although the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect strictly ordered a complete blockade of all news after returning home.

But there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

It didn't take long.

News of the Qingling Secret Realm trial spread like wildfire and was quickly learned by many well-informed individuals.

Now, after ten years of fermentation, Lu Yuan's deeds are known to everyone, making him a great demon in the eyes of countless sect disciples!

"Don't panic. This trial is overseen by two Nascent Soul Ancestors. If that fiend Lu Yuan dares to show himself, he will be instantly killed!"

"All we need to do is find out where Lu Yuan, the demon, is going and report it to the sect, and we'll get guidance and attention from the patriarch!"

A young man spoke up to offer words of comfort.

Upon hearing this, many people perked up, their eyes regaining their resolve.

Because of Lu Yuan's presence, the once-every-ten-year trial could not be held.

After all, Lu Yuan already possessed Core Formation combat power ten years ago, so who knows how terrifying his strength will be now?

Although the sect leader of the Giant Sword Pavilion and the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect hated Lu Yuan to the bone, they were not foolish enough to throw their carefully nurtured prodigies into the secret realm to die in vain.

Therefore, most of the disciples who enter the secret realm are of mediocre talent.

They knew the journey was dangerous, and that a single misstep could cost them their lives.

But with such a generous reward, there is bound to be someone who will die for it.

The thought that they might gain the attention of a Nascent Soul cultivator energized everyone, and they once again made a concerted effort to find Lu Yuan's whereabouts.

Unbeknownst to these people, several disciples of the Demonic Sect dressed in black robes were standing not far away, recording their every word and action.

And immediately, they used communication methods to send a message back to Lu Yuan.

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave...

Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged, casually placing a spiritual fruit beside him.

If other talented disciples were here, they would be horrified to find that dozens of spiritual fruits were scattered around Lu Yuan at this moment.

Each spiritual fruit contains a fragment of the laws of heaven and earth, a supreme treasure coveted by all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, Lu Yuan casually threw these rare treasures everywhere. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would feel sorry for them and curse him for wasting such precious resources!
"I have already comprehended all the fragments of the laws of this world, so these spiritual fruits are of no use to me anymore."

Lu Yuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

During these ten years, besides perfecting the ancient formations, he spent most of his time comprehending the laws of heaven and earth and deducing the formulas for Gu poison.

Therefore, as early as five years ago, he had already successfully reached the peak of the Golden Core realm and could become a Nascent Soul expert at any time.

However, Nascent Soul cultivators need to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and condense traces of those laws.

The more perfect the laws and Dao traces a Nascent Soul expert has mastered, the greater their future potential will be.

The laws of this realm are incomplete; if Lu Yuan were to break through here, it would only be a waste of his talent.

Otherwise, with his extraordinary comprehension, even if he spent ten years cultivating diligently, breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm would be a piece of cake.

"It's time to leave this place."

Lu Yuan stood up and muttered to himself.

It was at this time.

A beam of light pierced through the air and transformed into a communication Gu that perched on his shoulder.

Lu Yuan carefully browsed through the information, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"The Northern Cold Sect and the Giant Sword Pavilion are truly patient, waiting for ten long years. With such hospitality, how can I not reciprocate?"

However, Lu Yuan also knew this.

These disciples are all cannon fodder sent by the Northern Cold Sect. Even if Lu Yuan kills them all, he won't feel any remorse.

Only by killing some high-ranking elders or Nascent Soul experts can the Northern Cold Sect be severely damaged!

"It seems we should proceed according to that plan."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he had already made up his mind.

half a month later.

The demon Lu Yuan made his appearance and frantically hunted down the disciples of the Northern Cold Sect, causing a bloodbath in the secret realm.

For a while.

All the disciples were filled with fear and unease, each feeling insecure.

Fortunately, the Northern Cold Sect was prepared for this.

After learning of Lu Yuan's appearance.

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect and another Nascent Soul cultivator immediately used the sect's resources and many secret techniques.

Despite risking the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth on his primordial spirit, he finally succeeded in sending a wisp of divine thought into the secret realm.

Even half a breath would be enough for him to kill Lu Yuan countless times!

"You little beast, you really didn't die!"

The terrifying divine sense of the Northern Cold Sect's patriarch, as vast as a river or the sea, instantly swept across the entire secret realm, firmly locking onto Lu Yuan.

But when he carefully examined it, even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Because Lu Yuan was already at the peak of the Core Formation stage, only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage!
At two years old, one begins Qi cultivation; at three, one establishes the foundation; at eight, one reaches the peak of Foundation Establishment; at eighteen, one reaches the peak of Core Formation…

Such extraordinary talent is probably even inferior to Ye Chen, who is known as the number one genius in the Southern Region!

At the same time, the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect also felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he acted decisively and resolutely used the sect's resources, even at the risk of greatly reducing his strength, to forcefully descend into the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

Otherwise, with Lu Yuan's terrifying talent for cultivation, the consequences would be unimaginable once he grows up!
