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

Chapter 197 Four Lifetimes: The Culprit, the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu!
Green Spear Mountain.

Countless laws and Dao traces descended, forming three thousand Dao flames that continuously scorched Lu Yuan's physical body and soul.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​fire, his face resolute and calm, silently enduring everything.

However, under the scorching heat of the three thousand flames, his golden core underwent some unknown change.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible cracking sound.

A crack suddenly appeared on the golden pill, and then the crack quickly spread, covering the entire surface of the golden pill.

"Oh!"

All the outer shells of the golden cores fell off, revealing a dazzling golden ball of light!

The ball of light was only the size of a fist, and its radiance was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Inside the ball of light, a baby could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged.

The baby's eyes were closed, it was about an inch tall, and its body was almost translucent.

Although he looks fair and plump, he has an imposing presence that commands respect without anger.

He was enveloped in brilliant light, his aura divine and holy, powerful to the extreme.

"Is this my nascent soul?"

Lu Yuan looked at the baby whose features were somewhat similar to his own, and his expression was a little strange.

Back in the Azure Spirit Realm, the Innate Spirit Gu had fallen into a deep sleep after consuming a large number of rare treasures of heaven and earth, as if it were undergoing some kind of strange transformation.

During these twelve years, Lu Yuan continuously comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, imprinting thousands of law marks on the surface of the innate spirit gu, making its foundation unimaginably profound.

Even Lu Yuan himself didn't expect that the innate spirit gu would actually transform into a nascent soul.
"No, this is definitely not as simple as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator."

Lu Yuan examined it carefully for a while, and became increasingly aware of its extraordinary nature.

The texture on the surface of this divine infant's skin was even more profound and complex than the laws of heaven and earth, as if it contained the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

Even a mere glance at it would make an ordinary Core Formation cultivator feel dizzy and mentally damaged!
Around the divine infant, there was a mysterious Daoist aura flowing, and with each breath, it could resonate with the laws of heaven and earth!

The vast, polluted spiritual energy gathered and was absorbed into its body like a whale swallowing a ton of water. Then, it was instantly refined into pure energy and fed back to Lu Yuan.

According to Lu Yuan's estimate.

Compared to the innate spirit gu, this divine infant in front of us is dozens of times stronger in both the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the efficiency of its conversion.

Now, one of its breaths is equivalent to half an hour of my own arduous practice!
However, refining spiritual energy is only the most insignificant ability of this divine infant.

Besides, it has many other ingenious uses!

When a Core Formation cultivator breaks through to the next level, under the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth, their divine sense will surge dramatically, and their soul will further transform into a Nascent Soul.

However, compared to ordinary Nascent Souls, this Divine Infant before us is more like a Celestial Embryo formed from the condensation of three thousand Dao Principles!
However, the body of this celestial embryo is currently in a semi-transparent state and has not yet fully formed.

"An unformed Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu?"

Even with Lu Yuan's extensive experience, his heart skipped a beat at this moment.

But upon closer examination, this makes perfect sense.

After all, the innate spirit gu is created by combining unique innate qi with the spirit-absorbing gu.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan fused numerous wondrous objects from heaven and earth with the innate spirit gu.

With the addition of the three thousand Dao traces of the laws, and the combination of various factors, he accidentally created a rare and extraordinary Gu that was unprecedented in history!

The Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu has incorporated three thousand Dao Fires and Laws, which means it possesses infinite potential and possibilities.

without any exaggeration.

With just this natal Gu, Lu Yuan can directly reach the Great Dao and attain the position of Immortal Venerable!

However, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

The moment the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu appeared.

Suddenly, a twisted and distorted, immense power descended from the sky.

Countless laws and Dao patterns intertwined, eventually condensing into a ray of dazzling immortal light that instantly traversed the void and rushed straight towards the Supreme Immortal Embryo.

This celestial light, though seemingly beautiful and dazzling, is actually far more dangerous than the three thousand flames.

As soon as Lu Yuan saw this ray of immortal light, a resounding Daoist voice echoed in his mind, and he felt an urge to disintegrate his physical body and ascend to heaven.

at the same time.

An intense sense of life-or-death crisis suddenly welled up from the bottom of Lu Yuan's heart.

His intuition told him that once he came into contact with this ray of immortal light, not only would the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu be instantly annihilated, but he himself would also be instantly killed.

This is the light of the Ascension Tribulation, a tribulation punishment even more terrifying than the Three Thousand Dao Fires. Even a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch dares not confront it head-on!
However, in Lu Yuan's view, the so-called Flying Immortal Tribulation Light was extremely strange, capable of twisting and assimilating cultivators into members of the parasitic race!
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Dao of this realm?"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted.

He had dealt with the will of multiple worlds, so he was certain that this light of the Ascension Tribulation was the manifestation of the will and authority of the Heavenly Dao!
Under the influence of the Flying Immortal Tribulation Light, Lu Yuan's physical body melted away, and even his soul showed signs of disintegration.

But soon.

A faint sigh echoed between heaven and earth.

The sigh sounded ancient and weathered, as if it came from the distant past, traversing the long river of time, and flowing to the present day.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the sighs appeared, the laws of heaven and earth roared incessantly.

One after another, the Dao patterns of laws emerged from the void, forming a great array of laws that fixed the flying immortal tribulation light in mid-air.

Somewhere.

It was as if two invincible and powerful forces had collided in a tremendous and earth-shattering manner.

A terrifying and violent supreme power filled the entire world, and then transformed into a monstrous tsunami that spread in all directions, almost turning the void into nothingness!
Then the light of calamity dissipated, and the Dao fire went out.

The great array of laws also quickly dissipated and disintegrated, vanishing into nothingness in an instant.

The two wills seemed to have suffered mutual damage and both fell into a deep sleep.

It didn't take long.

The world returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

However, Lu Yuan looked at the shattered world and the void and fell into deep thought.

Although this experience was dangerous, Lu Yuan also gained a lot from it.

Now he is absolutely certain that the reason why this world has become so distorted is that the culprit is the distorted will of the Heavenly Dao of this world!
Another ancient will, presumably, leans towards justice or order.

However, judging from the situation just now, that ancient will seemed to be somewhat powerless.

It will probably not be long before it is assimilated by the distorted Heavenly Way.

At that time, this world will be completely plunged into darkness and transformed into a giant insect hive!
"The situation in the parasitic cultivation world is not optimistic. It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

A sense of urgency arose in Lu Yuan's heart.

He has lived in this world for twenty years and has gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation world.

As far as he knew, the cultivation world was divided into nine realms based on the strength of cultivators.

These are Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, Dao Integration, True Immortal, and Immortal Venerable. As for the classification of Gu Dao strength, it's much simpler, divided into one stage and nine stages.

One level of Gu cultivation corresponds to Qi Refining cultivators, while nine levels correspond to Immortal Venerables.

However, since the dramatic changes in the world, no one has ever been able to step into the realm of True Immortal. As for the Nine-Turn Immortal Venerable above True Immortal, he has never existed in ancient or modern times and only exists in legends.

Lu Yuan was well aware that he was too weak and was currently just a pawn, unable to participate in the game between the Heavenly Dao.

Only when he condenses the Nine Revolutions Immortal Gu and steps into the Immortal Venerable realm will he be qualified to step out of the chessboard and become a true chess player!

"The Immortal Venerable realm is still too far away from me, but since someone can temporarily restrain the Heavenly Dao of this realm, I can also go all out and make a big splash."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

The Gu Dao is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth. Once someone obtains the Gu Dao inheritance, they will surely be killed.

Previously, Lu Yuan was worried about being targeted by the will of Heaven, so he only dared to cultivate a small number of Gu cultivators in the Qingling Secret Realm.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this realm has now fallen into slumber, which means that Lu Yuan has no worries for the time being!
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan quickly finalized his plan.

The first step is to crush the five top powers and take control of the entire Southern Region.

Then, relying on the techniques and foundations accumulated by these forces over tens of thousands of years, they can quickly improve their own strength.

The second step is to use the Southern Region as a base to annex the other four major regions, unify the entire Spirit Realm, and promote the Gu Dao inheritance!
The third step is to attain the Dao of Immortal Venerable, restore order, and eliminate the distorted Heavenly Dao!

"In that case, let's start with the inheritance of Gu Dao."

With a slight thought, Lu Yuan absorbed the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu into his dantian.

The immortal being sat cross-legged, circulating its cultivation technique to help Lu Yuan refine a large amount of pure spiritual energy.

As for the Vajra Gu, the Formless Gu, the Blood Blade Gu, and all other spirit Gu, they all transformed into a stream of light, drilled into the Immortal Embryo Acupoint, and merged with it.

With each breath of the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu, the other spirit Gu were tempered by spiritual energy and became increasingly powerful.

This is the extraordinary nature of the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu. It can not only transform Gu cultivators and give them boundless potential, but also help them activate other spiritual Gu.

Even during cultivation, the power of the spirit gu can be enhanced!
After the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu successfully controlled all the Gu worms.

An unprecedented sense of power also emerged from the depths of Lu Yuan's heart.

Although he was only a beginner in the Nascent Soul stage, his Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu was unparalleled in the world. When he unleashed his full power, he could tear apart veteran Nascent Soul cultivators with his bare hands.

Even if they encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would still have the power to fight!
Years are like a shuttle.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Since his reincarnation, Lu Yuan has been living in this parasitic world of cultivation for a full thirty years.

During these ten years, Lu Yuan did not rashly take action against the top forces in the Southern Region.

Instead, relying on his profound experience in Gu cultivation, he transformed hundreds of disciples of Qingmao Mountain into Gu cultivators.

Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and Gu (a type of poisonous insect) is the essence of heaven and earth.

With Lu Yuan's extraordinary comprehension and terrifying cultivation level.

The parasites inside these disciples' bodies had no power to resist at all and were directly replaced by the Gu worms.

Subsequently, Lu Yuan refined the most suitable natal Gu for each of them based on their respective cultivation techniques.

However, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

In order to promote the Gu Dao, Lu Yuan spent countless efforts and ten years recording all his insights and experiences about the Gu Dao into a book, which was eventually compiled into the "Gu Jing"!
This book, "Gu Jing," records hundreds of methods for raising, refining, and using Gu, and can be said to exhaust all the ultimate principles of the world.

Although due to time and limitations in understanding the realm of knowledge, only a small part of the "Gu Scripture" was completed.

However, the content within is so profound that it is enough for mortals to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ordinary Gu cultivators who can grasp even a little bit of the basics can easily defeat parasitic cultivators of the same level. If they can grasp even a tenth of the basics, they can easily fight against cultivators of higher levels.

Moreover, Lu Yuan himself benefited greatly from the process of compiling the "Gu Jing".

This was a review and summary of his past spiritual practice, which allowed him to identify and fill in the gaps in his knowledge and make up for many shortcomings.

This also deepened Lu Yuan's understanding of the Gu Dao.

After years of accumulation, a breakthrough is made.

Lu Yuan's strength advanced to the Nascent Soul stage as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

And he just turned thirty this year!
If the news of a Nascent Soul cultivator who is only thirty years old were to spread, it would likely terrify countless powerful individuals.

It should be noted that Ye Chen was born with divine veins and was known as the number one genius in the Southern Region. It took him more than fifty years to finally step into the Nascent Soul realm.

But Lu Yuan's cultivation speed is even more terrifying than Ye Chen's!
In fact, many people don't know this.

This is even after Lu Yuan was trapped in the Qingling Secret Realm for ten years, and all his thoughts and energy over the years have been focused on compiling the "Gu Scripture," without spending too much time cultivating.

Otherwise, with his extraordinary comprehension, let alone becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, even reaching the Tribulation Transcending realm before the age of thirty would be a piece of cake.

When Lu Yuan successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm, the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu in his dantian also seemed to undergo some kind of transformation.

The translucent body solidified considerably, and even the Dao patterns on the surface of its skin became increasingly mysterious.

With every breath, one can resonate with the laws of heaven and earth!
"call!"

Lu Yuan stood up and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He kept his aura under control and his divine light hidden, looking just like an ordinary young man.

Only his eyes, bright as stars, were calm and deep like an ancient, still pool.

It was as if he had seen all the vicissitudes of life, and very few things could stir up any emotion in his heart.

"My lord, our informants in the Northern Cold Sect have sent us the latest news."

"After much pleading and cajoling from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, Ye Chen finally agreed to marry the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Poisons."

"The Northern Cold Sect also unanimously decided to let Ye Chen succeed as the current sect leader."

"They will soon hold an engagement ceremony and a coronation ceremony, and plan to invite all major powers to attend, thus announcing the matter to the world."

A disciple of Qingmao Mountain knelt on one knee and respectfully reported.

In fact.

Ye Chen successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm at the young age of fifty, making him the undisputed number one genius of the Southern Region in the eyes of all cultivators.

With his potential, he has a bright future ahead of him. It is not impossible for him to become a Tribulation Transcending cultivator or even a Dao Integration expert in the future.

Although the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Poisons is also known as having unparalleled talent, she is only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

How could Ye Chen possibly be interested in her?

This is why Wan Du Gu paid a huge price, even willing to become a vassal of Bei Han Zong, in order to get Ye Chen to reluctantly agree to the marriage.

The Northern Cold Sect invited all forces to attend the ceremony, ostensibly to celebrate Ye Chen's engagement and his succession to the position of sect leader.

In reality, they wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the formidable strength of the Northern Cold Sect to everyone!

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan chuckled softly.

"Very well, it's time to go and see the so-called number one genius of the Northern Cold Sect."

The voice just fell.

Lu Yuan took a step forward, and as if by teleportation, he disappeared from Qingmao Mountain!
