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

Chapter 203 Fourth Lifetime: The Inheritance of Gu Dao, the Green-Eyed Poison Toad!

"Can Lu Yuan alone be worth a thousand troops?"

Inside the main hall of the celestial palace.

Upon hearing the resounding words of the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace, all the Nascent Soul experts seemed to awaken from a dream.

Greed blinds one's judgment.

They were blinded by the enormous benefits of annexing the Southern Region, but now that the Palace Master has awakened them, they have suddenly come to their senses.

The Southern Region is indeed very weak right now.

However, in a sense, the Southern Region has become stronger than ever before because of Lu Yuan's presence.

Because Lu Yuan killed the Nascent Soul stage expert as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

This means that his true combat strength is not much different from that of a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch.

If the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace rashly attacks the Southern Region, it will not only fail to seize this lucrative opportunity, but will also break its own teeth!
"What the Palace Master says is absolutely right. It seems that this matter needs to be considered more carefully."

“Lu Yuan is only thirty years old, yet he has successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm. Such talent is unprecedented in the entire Central Continent.”

"Perhaps we could try to make contact with him and use his power to control the entire Southern Region!"

However, some strong-willed elders of the Immortal Palace were quite dissatisfied with these proposals.

"Why go through so much trouble? The Southern Region is just a poor and remote place. In the past, due to the ancient alliance signed by the various regions, we could not directly attack the Southern Region."

"But now that all the top powers have been wiped out, the ancient alliance is also null and void. All we need to do is ask our ancestor to make a trip there in person. At that time, won't the Southern Region be our Immortal Palace's for the taking?"

Please ask the ancestor to come out of seclusion?

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures from the Immortal Palace present were shaken.

The Tribulation-Transcending True Monarch is an extremely powerful being who has experienced countless heavenly tribulations and controls the power of tribulation punishment.

If it is said that a powerful being who has reached the Nascent Soul stage can entrust their primordial spirit to heaven and earth, and as long as a wisp of their divine soul remains, they will be immortal and indestructible.

Then the Tribulation-Crossing True Monarch has already returned the great power to himself, and no longer needs to rely on the power of heaven and earth, so he can achieve eternal immortality!
True Lords must undergo countless tribulations to cultivate their true form.

Each tribulation is a matter of life and death.

Looking across the entire Southern Region, the number of True Monarchs who have transcended tribulation is no more than ten.

As the number one power in the Central Continent, the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace has an unfathomable foundation.

Even so, the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace only has two Transcending Tribulation Ancestors!

Such beings have a long lifespan, lasting tens of thousands of years.

They have transcended worldly affairs and are no longer concerned with worldly matters.

If it were to be born, the entire Southern Region would be shaken.

"This move is too impulsive. Besides, the patriarch once said that his eternal sleep should never be disturbed unless the sect is facing a life-or-death crisis."

The Palace Master of Yuntian Palace frowned slightly and rejected the proposal.

Although the Tribulation-Crossing True Lord possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, as a price, he must endure numerous tribulations such as the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man at every moment.

This also means that there is a certain risk in every move they make.

Therefore.

Almost all True Monarchs who have transcended tribulation choose to go into seclusion or sleep for a long time in order to prolong the arrival of natural disasters and calamities, and they rarely appear in the outside world.

Just as the elders of Yuntian Immortal Palace were arguing endlessly about the affairs of the Southern Region.

The Northern Wilderness, the Western Desert, the Eastern Sea, and other places also learned of the destruction of the three top powers in the Southern Region.

All of a sudden.

Countless sects and holy lands in the Spirit Realm are eager to make their move and have many ideas about the Southern Region.

However, as the instigator of all this, Lu Yuan was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Qingmao Mountain.

This once insignificant, second-rate sect, located in a remote place, has now become the most prominent supreme holy land in the Southern Region because of Lu Yuan's existence!
Sect leaders and Nascent Soul elders, who are rarely seen in normal times, are now coming to visit with generous gifts, crowding the entire Qingmao Mountain.

However, Lu Yuan had no interest in paying attention to these people because he had more important things to do.

In a secret room.

Lu Yuan's gaze was sharp as a knife as he stared intently at Yun Xi, the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, before finally asking a question.

"You once received a portion of the Gu Dao inheritance?"

While talking.

He activated his Eye of Truth, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

The slender and beautiful Saintess Yunxi appeared to Lu Yuan as a deformed monster with festering, pus-filled skin and swollen, twisted limbs.

Especially in her lower abdomen, a horrifying worm was found to be parasitizing her.

The worm was covered with long legs and compound eyes, and its tentacles, like dense tree roots, were deeply rooted in every part of her body, even replacing the original blood vessels and meridians, becoming a part of her body.

However, what surprised Lu Yuan was...

In Yunxi's sea of ​​consciousness, there floated a green ball of light the size of a finger.

Inside the ball of light lay a crystal-clear, jade-carved, green-eyed poisonous toad.

This green-eyed poisonous toad emitted a faint light, protecting Yunxi's soul within, thus preventing her from being corrupted by the consciousness of the parasitic race.

Looking into Lu Yuan's deep gaze, which seemed to see right through people, even Yun Xi, as the Holy Maiden of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, turned pale and felt a chill run down her spine.

Although she has always been ruthless and cruel, she is called a witch by cultivators outside the sect.

But in front of Lu Yuan, a god of death who could wipe out an entire family at the drop of a hat, her so-called ruthlessness and methods were utterly insignificant.

However, when Lu Yuan pressed her for answers, Yun Xi dodged the question and refused to reveal any useful information for a long time.

After all, the path of Gu poison has never been tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

Gu worms are the natural enemy of all parasitic species.

Anyone who dares to reveal their identity as a Gu cultivator will be relentlessly hunted down by all parasitic cultivators.

Seeing Yun Xi stammering, Lu Yuan was too lazy to waste words with her and directly took out a fourth-rank slave Gu from his storage ring.

He had no sentimentality whatsoever, and besides, in his eyes, no matter how beautiful Yun Xi was, she was nothing more than a deformed monster.

"Cuck!"

The moment this slave Gu appeared, the green-eyed poisonous toad in Yunxi's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to sense some deadly threat.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes and let out a piercing scream.

at the same time.

The green-eyed poisonous toad opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of poisonous mist at Lu Yuan.

This green-eyed poisonous toad is at the fifth level of cultivation. In ancient times, it was the guardian beast of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, known for possessing the most potent poisons in the world.

Once enveloped by this poisonous fog, even a Nascent Soul expert would instantly turn into a pool of blood!
However, Lu Yuan had been immersed in the path of Gu cultivation for more than 20 years. His experience and skills in using and refining Gu were even more advanced than those of many ancient Gu cultivators.

Not to mention.

The Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu is unique, having fused with three thousand laws, and can control all spiritual Gu in the world.

All that could be seen was that within Lu Yuan's dantian, the immortal embryo simply opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing all the poisonous mist into its abdomen.

The poisonous fog did not cause any harm to Lu Yuan; instead, it was instantly refined into pure energy!

"He actually ate all the poisonous mist from the Green-Eyed Poison Toad! What kind of monster is this?"

Upon seeing this, Yun Xi's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

You should know that back then, she used this green-eyed poisonous toad to successfully poison a Core Formation cultivator with just a wisp of poison gas!
The poisonous mist just now was the natal poison that the Green-Eyed Poison Toad had been brewing in its body for thousands of years. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator dared not take it head-on!
Before Yunxi could react...

Lu Yuan immediately used his Gu Dao techniques to suppress the green-eyed poisonous toad in an instant.

Then, his gaze turned indifferent as he coldly stared at the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley before him. "I'll give you one last chance. Open your mind and let me plant the Slave Gu."

Although Lu Yuan could obtain the information he wanted from Yun Xi through forced soul searching.

However, the Soul Searching Technique has many side effects, making it difficult to obtain complete memories and information.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it would be better to let Yunxi say it herself.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's heart tightened, and her face instantly lost all color.

Although she is the Holy Maiden of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

But in the face of a tyrant like Lu Yuan, who would wipe out an entire family at the drop of a hat, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Moreover, her greatest reliance had already been suppressed by Lu Yuan.

The thought of being forcibly subjected to a soul search sent a chill down Yunxi's spine.

After a moment of silence, she sighed, gave up all resistance, and allowed Lu Yuan to plant the slave Gu.

"boom!"

The slave Gu exploded into countless points of light, merging with Yun Xi and ultimately forming a divine soul imprint deep within her soul.

With this brand, Lu Yuan could decide her life or death in an instant.

With the appearance of this soul imprint.

The helpless and desperate look in Yunxi's eyes was now replaced by reverence and fanaticism.

"Your subordinate Yunxi greets your master."

Yunxi knelt on one knee, her tone extremely respectful.

Next.

She didn't hide anything and immediately told the whole story.

According to Yunxi, she was born with the rare Ten Thousand Poisons Divine Body, and her cultivation speed was hundreds of times that of ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, Yunxi was raised as a saint by the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons from a young age.

When she was five years old, she went to the ancestral land of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons for trials.

The ancestral land of Wan Du Valley has a long history and contains a large number of ancient ruins. It is fraught with danger and only the Holy Maidens or Young Valley Masters of each generation are qualified to go there.

Yunxi lived up to everyone's expectations, advancing with unstoppable momentum and successfully entering the depths of the ancestral land.

However, she never expected that while breaking through an ancient formation, she would accidentally discover the truth about parasitism in this world and obtain a part of the Gu Dao inheritance!

Fortunately, this part of the inheritance also contained a Rank 5 Azure-Eyed Poison Toad Gu, which could help her conceal her aura, thus preventing other parasitic cultivators from noticing her.

However, this fifth-rank green-eyed poisonous toad gu had become extremely weak and on the verge of death due to a long period of neglect, to the point that it could not even deal with the parasites in Yun Xi's body.

"High-level Gu worms have developed intelligence and know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Their intelligence is in no way inferior to that of cultivators."

"Since Yunxi was able to obtain the Jade-Eyed Poison Toad, other high-level Gu insects must also have the means to survive until now. It seems that there are still quite a few Gu cultivators and Gu Dao inheritances remaining in this world."

Lu Yuan seemed to understand something.

at the same time.

He also obtained specific information about that part of the Gu Dao inheritance from Yun Xi.

Despite the severe incompleteness of this information, Lu Yuan possessed extraordinary comprehension, enabling him to deduce and reconstruct the entire inheritance from mere fragments!
Moreover, he annihilated three top-tier forces in succession, gaining countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

Although in Lu Yuan's view, these manuals were all Zerg breeding manuals.

However, with his extraordinary comprehension, he was able to reverse-engineer the method of refining Gu from these cultivation manuals!

Lu Yuan had a premonition that if he could integrate and master all these secret manuals, his accumulation in the path of Gu would reach an unimaginable level.

Subsequently.

With Lu Yuan's help.

Yunxi successfully refined the green-eyed poisonous toad into her own natal Gu.

After the parasites in her dantian were devoured by the Blue-eyed Poison Toad.

Yunxi's originally deformed and distorted appearance has gradually returned to normal.

"Is this really me?"

Yunxi stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining her figure and appearance, and tears welled up in her eyes.

After all, the Jade-Eyed Poison Toad, being a fifth-level Gu worm, possesses the ability to dispel illusions, allowing her to see her true appearance.

Although cultivators sever their seven emotions and six desires and are not troubled by worldly things, their so-called appearance is nothing more than a shell.

But whenever she saw the bloated, twisted, deformed monster in the mirror, she still felt a wave of nausea from the bottom of her heart.

Yunxi originally thought that this rotten and ugly body would accompany her for the rest of her life.

But who would have thought.

Lu Yuan not only helped her get rid of the parasite threat, but also successfully restored her to her normal appearance.

For a young girl, this is nothing short of a second life!
That's why.

She felt no more resentment, only endless gratitude, and almost regarded Lu Yuan as a god.

Next.

Lu Yuan handed over all matters to Yun Xi to manage, while he himself began a new round of seclusion.

Qingmao Mountain.

A cave dwelling somewhere.

Lu Yuan was sitting quietly in a secluded room.

A mysterious Daoist aura flowed around him, and his aura spread out like ripples. With each breath, he could resonate with the Daoist principles of heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, within his dantian, the immortal embryo sat cross-legged, constantly forming hand seals and mudras.

The celestial embryo was enveloped in golden light, and the patterns of laws on its skin were radiating brilliant light.

Each line represents a law of nature.

Ordinary cultivators who have reached the Divine Transformation stage can master a single law and entrust their primordial spirit to the heavens and earth, thereby achieving the state of living as long as the heavens and being reborn from a drop of blood.

However, the law patterns on the immortal embryo's body were densely packed, numbering far more than three thousand!
Especially as time goes by.

All the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this space transformed into an energy tide, converging towards the Immortal Embryo and being refined by it.

Lu Yuan's aura became increasingly terrifying, and his blood and qi surged like rivers and seas, making a rushing sound.

Moreover, it is tempered by the laws of heaven and earth.

Lu Yuan's entire skeleton was as if it had been cast from divine gold, becoming increasingly indestructible.

I don’t know how long it took.

When the aura of the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu reached its peak.

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light, as solid as tangible matter, shot out from the depths of his eyes, leaving long streaks in the void.

His gaze was like lightning!

This is a symbol of a powerful primordial spirit, where divine thoughts are almost materialized!

Feeling the power surging within him, Lu Yuan revealed a satisfied smile.

This time, after browsing through various martial arts manuals, he not only gained a lot, but also deduced a large number of methods for refining poisonous insects.

His own cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he successfully stepped into the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. Even though he was only half a step away from the Tribulation Transcending True Monarch realm!
without any exaggeration.

If the patriarch of the Giant Sword Pavilion and others were still alive, with his current strength, he wouldn't need to use the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Gu at all.

He could kill him with a single punch using only his physical strength!
