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

Chapter 196 Fourth Lifetime: Three Thousand Laws, Condensing the Nascent Soul!

"You can rest in peace with a smile if I have to take action myself."

Ignoring the terrified and desperate expression on Lu Yuan's face, the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect stirred his divine sense slightly.

Lu Yuan exploded with a bang, turning into blood rain that stained the sky red.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side.

The powerful divine sense of the Northern Cold Sect's patriarch swept across the entire secret realm once again, like a storm.

At this moment.

Whether they were disciples of the Northern Cold Sect or other demonic cultivators, their bodies all exploded, leaving no survivors!
Do it all.

Before the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect could retract his divine thought, he suddenly groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as if he had suffered some kind of serious injury.

His overall energy level plummeted, and he instantly became listless.

The old man in gray standing next to him was also as pale as a sheet, having suffered a severe backlash as well.

The Azure Spirit Secret Realm is a blessed land created by ancient powerful beings. No matter how flawed the laws of heaven and earth may be, it is not something that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like him can contend with.

This is why the Azure Spirit Secret Realm has become dilapidated after tens of thousands of years.

In addition, the Northern Cold Sect's patriarch had prepared for a full ten years, which was enough to barely allow him to descend for half a breath.

Otherwise, if he dared to descend at will, he would be instantly obliterated by the laws of heaven and earth!

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Lu Yuan has been executed. From now on, my Northern Cold Sect and your Ten Thousand Poisons Valley can rest easy and no longer worry about any future troubles."

Although the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect was weak, he was in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, the old man in gray's expression softened.

"Very well, then my enormous sacrifice has not been in vain. But I wonder about the marriage alliance you promised earlier..."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, Ye Chen of my sect and the Holy Maiden of your Ten Thousand Poisons Valley are a match made in heaven."

"However, Ye Chen is currently at a critical moment in his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he must not be distracted."

"The day he reaches the Nascent Soul stage will be the day our two sects become in-laws."

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect patted his chest and assured him.

Upon hearing these words, the old man in gray was overjoyed and no longer cared about his injuries and losses.

It should be noted that the Nascent Soul stage is considered the ceiling of combat power in the Southern Region. Many geniuses may not be able to reach this level even after a lifetime of hard work.

However, Ye Chen is not even fifty years old yet, since he was born.

A powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage who is not yet fifty years old?
What is this concept?
Not to mention the sects of the Southern Region, even looking at the entire Spirit Realm, they are rare and exceptional geniuses!
without any exaggeration.

With Ye Chen's talent, he could become the strongest person in the Southern Region in less than fifty years.

If Wan Du Gu could form a marriage alliance with him, its status would definitely rise accordingly!
"Gentlemen, the villains have been eliminated, and the trial will proceed as scheduled."

After resting for a while, the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect joined forces with other powerful figures to use a secret technique to open another spatial passage.

Then all the outstanding disciples filed in to continue participating in the trial.

The other Nascent Soul experts felt a pang of regret upon witnessing this scene.

Lu Yuan's talent and combat strength far surpass Ye Chen's.

Although he possessed extraordinary talent, he had not yet fully matured, so how could he possibly be a match for two Nascent Soul stage experts?

Moreover, the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect had been preparing for this for ten years. Even if he hid in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, he would eventually be unable to escape death!
"It's a pity that Lu Yuan is dead. There is no one in the Southern Region who can restrain Ye Chen. From now on, the Northern Cold Sect will be the only one that can dominate, and even the Giant Sword Pavilion will not be able to stop their rise!"

"If we add the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to the mix, I'm afraid even the Giant Sword Pavilion will be unable to protect itself."

The expressions of the many Nascent Soul experts were complex.

The Northern Cold Sect has always acted arrogantly and domineeringly. If it were allowed to dominate the Southern Region, the other sects would probably have an even harder time.

And the other side.

Inside a cave in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

A flash of white light, and Lu Yuan slowly appeared from the void.

"Ruthless and merciless, leaving no stone unturned, this is truly the style of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Looking at the reopened secret realm passage, a cold smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

"But the path of Gu is ever-changing and profound. The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect could never have imagined that I had already upgraded the Harmony with Light and Dust Gu to the fourth level five years ago."

It blends with the light and the dust, its stillness seemingly existing.

The Harmony with the World Gu does not provide any boost to combat power, but its greatest use lies in its ability to mimic the laws of heaven and earth, allowing Lu Yuan to perfectly integrate into this world.

Especially after being promoted to the fourth rank, Lu Yuan could even temporarily enter a state of harmony between man and nature.

Turning into dust, disappearing without a trace.

If you add the Four-Turn Formless Gu, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to detect anything unusual!

Not to mention that the Northern Cold Sect's patriarch could only descend for half a breath, and in such haste, there was simply no time to investigate in detail.

Just now, Lu Yuan had a death warrior activate a fourth-stage formless Gu to disguise himself as Lu Yuan.

This achieves the effect of passing off fakes as genuine and deceiving the real thing into the fake!

The patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect spent ten years preparing, utilizing countless resources and methods to prepare for his personal descent.

But Lu Yuan had been planning for this moment for ten years.

to this end.

He spared no expense in using a large number of rare and precious materials to forcibly elevate a prodigy assassin to the peak of the Core Formation stage. He also sacrificed a fourth-level Formless Gu, a fourth-level Harmony with Light Gu, and a large number of demonic Gu cultivators.

This allowed them to deceive everyone and make the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect believe that Lu Yuan was dead!

Next.

Lu Yuan activated the Formless Gu, changing his form to blend into the crowd, and secretly planted the Slave Gu on many of his disciples.

The Slave Gu can merge with a cultivator, making it undetectable even to a Nascent Soul stage expert.

These talented disciples are all elites of their respective sects. Lu Yuan only needs to enslave them to control most of the lifeline of these sects!

……

A month later.

Lu Yuan successfully left the secret realm by following a third-rate sect.

When he saw the unfamiliar scenery outside, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.

If the Azure Spirit Secret Realm is just a small puddle, then the entire Spirit Realm is like a vast and boundless ocean.

A true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.

If Lu Yuan had stayed in this puddle, no matter how good his aptitude or how extraordinary his talent, he would have been destined to become just another ordinary person.

Therefore.

That's why he's willing to pay any price to leave the Azure Spirit Secret Realm!

While the parasitic cultivation world is twisted and bizarre.

However, the laws of heaven and earth are the rules and foundation for the operation of all things, and no matter how distorted the way of heaven may be, it is difficult to affect its essence.

Lu Yuan possesses extraordinary comprehension; given just a little time, he can perfect all the laws and thus condense the strongest Nascent Soul!
……

time flies.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingmao Mountain.

Located in a remote part of the southern region, the sect has hundreds of disciples, but the strongest among them is only at the peak of the Core Formation stage.

Compared to top-tier forces like the Medicine Buddha Sect, Qingmao Mountain is utterly insignificant and rarely attracts attention. The last time Qingmao Mountain gained prominence among various forces was because one of its prodigies, after undergoing numerous trials, barely earned the qualification to enter the Qingling Secret Realm.

At this moment, inside the sect's main hall.

A distinguished young man with black hair stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as a pool of water.

"Reporting to the Lord, our spies have sent word that Ye Chen has successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul powerhouse in the history of the Southern Region."

"The Northern Cold Sect sent out invitations widely, intending to hold a grand celebration. Many forces, including those from the Central Plains, the Northern Wilderness, and the Western Desert, sent envoys to attend the ceremony."

A black-robed assassin knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator who is only fifty years old is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

Ye Chen is known as the number one genius in the Southern Region, and his talent is naturally not to be underestimated.

However, in this parasitic cultivation world, the higher a cultivator's talent, the more suitable they are to be parasitized by the insect race.

When a cultivator reaches the Core Formation stage, the parasites within their body will form a cocoon and transform, evolving into a more powerful form.

If a Core Formation cultivator wants to advance further, they need to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, allowing their soul to undergo the baptism of a distorted heavenly way, thus becoming more suitable for being parasitized by the insect race.

The moment the larva emerges from its cocoon is also the moment when the cultivator successfully enters the Nascent Soul realm.

At that time, the cultivator will lose his self-awareness and completely merge with the parasite, becoming a deformed monster that is half human and half insect.

However, once a parasitic cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they are considered a member of the insectoid race and thus unlock many abilities.

For example, a powerful spirit can condense a nascent soul, allowing one to mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth with a mere gesture.

Under the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth, the best among them will gain a deeper understanding of the rules governing the world, and their strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Both their bodies and souls have been thoroughly transformed, making them virtually indistinguishable from the real Zerg.

This small group of people is also known as the Great Power Transformation Realm!

Upon reaching the stage of Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul will transform into the Primordial Spirit, enabling it to merge with heaven and earth and leave behind unique Dao traces.

As long as a sliver of divine will remains, one can be reborn from a drop of blood!

If Lu Yuan hadn't guessed.

As the number one prodigy in the Southern Region, Ye Chen has probably already become one with the parasites inside his body.

On the surface, he appears to be a human cultivator, but it would be more appropriate to simply call him a Zerg.

"The Northern Cold Sect first attacked me without my knowledge, and then imprisoned me for ten years. This great grudge must be avenged."

"In the past two years, thanks to my extraordinary comprehension, I have successfully mastered the three thousand laws and it is time for me to break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

The golden core in his dantian was covered with complex Dao marks, so numerous that a single glance was enough to make one dizzy!

Each mark represents a law!
If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to witness this scene, they would be utterly horrified and speechless for a long time.

It should be known that an ordinary Core Formation cultivator can smoothly enter the Nascent Soul realm by comprehending one of the laws of heaven and earth.

If someone can comprehend three or more of them, they can already be hailed as an unparalleled genius.

After all, the difficulty increases exponentially with each new law one comprehends.

Throughout the entire history of the Southern Region, even a prodigy like Ye Chen has only comprehended ten laws of heaven and earth.

That's it.

This made the patriarch of the Northern Cold Sect overjoyed, and he told everyone he met that Ye Chen was a peerless genius and the number one prodigy in the Southern Region.

But the total number of all the laws and Dao patterns on the surface of Lu Yuan's Golden Core is far more than three thousand.
The Three Thousand Rules!

Not to mention the vast Southern Region, even the entire Spirit Realm has never seen such a terrifyingly talented prodigy.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't even dare to think about doing that!
Lu Yuan stopped deliberately suppressing his cultivation level and unleashed all his power.

In the past two years, Lu Yuan has already honed his Core Formation realm to its peak.

Whether it's the physical body, the soul, or even magic and spirit worms, he has elevated them to a point where there is no further progress!

At this moment, as he warmed up slightly, his abundant blood and qi flowed freely through his meridians like rivers and seas.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A heartbeat like muffled thunder echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

This heartbeat seemed to contain a certain rhythm and cadence, which could even resonate with the laws of heaven and earth.

Call ~
Call ~
Suddenly, all the spiritual energy in the world became restless, like ministers summoned by their monarch, frantically converging on Lu Yuan.

As the spiritual energy flowed, it emitted rapid, gurgling sounds.

The sound grew louder and louder, like a howling wind, and eventually formed an elemental storm!
This elemental storm stretched from the sky to the earth, sweeping everything away.

And Lu Yuan is at the eye of the storm!
"Boom!"

It happened in the instant his breath leaked out.

The will of Heaven and Earth seemed to be sensing something, and countless laws resounded in response!

The power of countless laws descended from the sky, transforming into three thousand flames that scorched Lu Yuan's body and soul.

These three thousand flames may seem insignificant, but in reality they are a hundred times, a thousand times more dangerous than previous lightning tribulations.

It should be known that these Dao Flames are all formed from the laws of the Five Elements, cause and effect, reincarnation, life and death, etc., and are one of the most terrifying calamities in the world.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would die upon contact with it, and even Nascent Soul cultivators dared not touch it rashly.

Otherwise, at best they will be seriously injured and their strength greatly diminished; at worst they will perish, and even their primordial spirit will be burned to ashes.

However, at this moment, Lu Yuan was covered by raging Dao fire, and his flesh, bones, and even soul were scorched by the flames.

This pain penetrates to the very depths of the soul, and is countless times more agonizing than being torn apart by a thousand cuts!
Faced with this kind of pain that could break a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Yuan remained calm and persevered, gritting his teeth and never letting up for a moment.

Because danger and peril coexist.

Although the Three Thousand Flames are terrifyingly powerful, as long as he can survive them, he will gain unimaginable benefits!

Burning under the scorching heat of three thousand flames, Lu Yuan endured unprecedented pain.

This is why, after experiencing numerous simulated reincarnations, his mind and character have been tempered to an unparalleled degree of resilience; otherwise, any other cultivator would have completely collapsed long ago!

However, as time went by, his physical body became more and more perfect.

The Three Thousand Fires is one of the most terrifying punishments in the world, but it also has the miraculous effect of transforming one's body and cleansing one's marrow!

He was tall and straight with deep-set features.

His skin was as delicate as a baby's, and its surface had a glassy sheen.
His muscles are well-defined, but not too bulky.

Handsome and masculine.

It has a fatal attraction for women.

With his current looks...

With just a side profile, she could easily outshine countless internet celebrities and male stars.

In particular, he possesses an innate air of authority, like a ruler who holds the power of life and death.

Even a single glance is enough to inspire awe in others.

But what pleased Lu Yuan the most was...

The golden core within his body underwent a qualitative transformation under the scorching heat of three thousand flames!
