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

Chapter 209 The Fourth Life: On the Shores of the East Sea, the Three Great Immortal Sects!

Qingmao Mountain.

Dongfuzhong.

Lu Yuan stared at the clusters of light before him, lost in thought.

"I possess extraordinary comprehension, and my aptitude is countless times stronger than that of an ordinary Tribulation Transcending True Monarch."

"Even the most difficult-to-comprehend laws of spacetime are easy for me to grasp, but unfortunately, many of the fundamental laws have already been obtained by others..."

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

His talent is indeed extraordinary, but there are countless outstanding talents in the world.

Which of those who can cultivate to the level of a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch is an ordinary person?

Moreover, the spirit world has a long history, having existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Throughout this long river of time, countless pioneers have tried various paths and firmly occupied a large amount of resources and traces of laws.

Moreover, in addition to being mastered by cultivators, the traces of laws and principles also exist extensively in various rare and wondrous objects of heaven and earth.

For example, the spiritual fruit that Lu Yuan obtained in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm contained fragments of laws.

Compared to those supreme holy lands that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, Lu Yuan, as a rising star, still seems to have too shallow a foundation.

These sacred sites possess profound cultural heritage, control a vast number of rare and wondrous objects, and firmly hold the reins of ascension.

Ordinary cultivators who wish to advance further can only join them.

Otherwise, no matter how talented or exceptional you are, you will only turn into a pile of dust in despair under the erosion of time!
After all, how can your lifetime of cultivation compare to the tens of thousands of years of accumulation of a sacred land?
"Although the Nine Revolutions Immortal Gu is terrifyingly powerful, the amount of primordial Dao traces it requires is astronomical."

"With the laws and Dao traces I currently possess, I can only raise the Immortal Gu to the seventh level."

"If we want to go further, the only way is to start with other holy lands and the Tribulation Transcending True Monarchs."

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly came up with a solution.

All things are created to nourish man, and man has nothing to repay to heaven.

These holy sites and old-fashioned places like to occupy resources and control the path to advancement, right?

Then I'll slaughter him in broad daylight, I'll turn the world upside down!

……

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. From the Tianji Star Stone, you have grasped a trace of the fundamental law of cause and effect, causing the power of the Framing Immortal Gu to surge!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By cultivating the barbarian techniques, you have deduced a trace of the source of power, and the Dao traces of the power immortal Gu have been perfected!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Observing the Dao traces on the surface of the Enlightenment Tree, you sensed a trace of the true and false origins. The Seven-Turn Immortal Gu deceived the heavens and the sea, greatly enhancing its power!]

Inside the cave.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless rare and precious materials, as well as secret manuals and techniques from various races.

As he browsed through those cultivation techniques, countless insights and inspirations suddenly flooded his mind, giving him a deeper understanding of the essence of the laws of heaven and earth.

The surface of the Frame-Up Immortal Gu was covered with dense traces of laws and Dao, and a strong aura of cause and effect permeated the air.

Although this Gu has no combat power, it can interfere with the karma of others, forcibly transferring all calamities and consequences onto others!

Although the Dao traces of the Power Immortal Gu are incomplete, it has only just reached the seventh grade, and its strength is less than one percent of its peak state.

However, this immortal Gu is a manifestation of the laws of power, and still possesses considerable power.

Once activated, it can greatly increase Lu Yuan's combat power.

Speed, Qi and Blood, Supernatural Power, Mental Strength...

All can receive a terrifying boost from the Power Immortal Gu, instantly increasing their combat power by more than ten times!
"What a pity. If I had enough Dao traces of laws, I could have raised these immortal Gu to the eighth level in less than half a month."

Lu Yuan sighed deeply.

in his perception.

Most of the laws governing this world have long been divided up by people using various means.

No matter how extraordinary his comprehension was, his strength could not improve even an inch.

As for those rare treasures or peerless elixirs containing traces of laws and principles, they are all controlled by those holy lands and great sects.

It was at this time.

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly as he looked towards the outside of the cave.

Yunxi, dressed in a green dress, was waiting respectfully outside the door, seemingly having something important to report.

"come in."

Lu Yuan put away the few immortal Gu before speaking calmly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated directly in Yunxi's mind.

"As ordered."

Yunxi took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter.

He then knelt on one knee and respectfully presented a storage ring.

“Master, these are rare and precious materials and cultivation manuals collected by Qingmao Mountain from various parts of the Southern Region.”

"However, recently, there has been a shortage of goods in various merchants' shops, and it is rumored that many treasures have been bought up in advance by other holy lands."

Sensing the profound and awe-inspiring aura emanating from Lu Yuan, Yun Xi lowered her head, her heart filled with even greater reverence.

Among the Gu worms, there is a strict hierarchy.

Like the Gu worms on Lu Yuan's body, any one of them would be at least level 7.

Yunxi's natal Gu, the Azure-Eyed Poison Toad, was only at the fifth level. In terms of both quality and power, it was far inferior to the Immortal Gu on Lu Yuan's body.

"Is someone deliberately preventing me from acquiring rare and extraordinary items?"

Lu Yuan's gaze darkened slightly, and he quickly guessed the other party's intention.

Some rare and wondrous objects of heaven and earth bear traces of laws and principles, which can rapidly enhance the strength of a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch.

However, such rare items are priceless, and even money may not be enough to buy them.

Lu Yuan's decisive victory over the Holy Land's allied forces, including the killing of over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, makes him the undisputed strongest in the Southern Region.

The only ones who would dare to snatch things from him are probably the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace and the East Sea Immortal Sect, these few supreme holy lands.

That's why they did it.

They simply wanted to use this method to force Lu Yuan to back down!

After all, the only way for a Transcending Tribulation True Monarch to improve his strength is to continuously increase the number of his own Law Dao Marks.

However, the number of laws and traces in the universe remains constant.

A carrot and a pit.

If someone could use extraordinary means to completely monopolize the traces of a certain law and the wonders of heaven and earth.

So no matter how talented or hardworking a newcomer is, they will never have any hope of breaking through in their lifetime!

"I see, you go down."

Lu Yuan remained calm.

However, his gaze was icy cold as he looked up towards the directions of Central Continent and the East Sea, his heart already filled with murderous intent!
……

Cloud Heaven Celestial Palace.

"Palace Master, according to information from our informants, Lu Yuan is currently collecting rare and wondrous items related to the fundamental laws of lightning, causality, and power."

"As you instructed, I, along with the East Sea Immortal Sect and other holy lands, have spared no expense in acquiring all the treasures ahead of schedule."

"Not to mention, the Southern Region is already resource-poor, and even if Lu Yuan were to search the land thoroughly, he wouldn't be able to find any useful immortal materials or divine artifacts!"

A Nascent Soul elder laughed smugly.

"You did a great job."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace.

As a half-step Tribulation Transcending True Monarch, he naturally understood just how difficult it was for ordinary cultivators to obtain the Dao traces of laws suitable for themselves.

Although the Heavenly Dao is vast and is said to possess three thousand laws, the ways to obtain traces of those laws are few and far between.

Based on the experience summarized by predecessors throughout history, there are only three ways to obtain Dao traces.

The first method is normal cultivation. When one's body merges with heaven and earth and comprehends the ultimate principles of the laws, there is a chance to obtain a trace of the laws.

However, the laws of heaven and earth are profound and complex, and it is even more difficult to grasp a trace of the Dao than to ascend to heaven. Many cultivators who have undergone tribulation may not be able to take a small step forward even after a lifetime of effort.

The second method is to rapidly enhance one's strength by relying on rare and wondrous objects from heaven and earth, or treasures and Dao fruits left behind by predecessors.

These kinds of rare and wondrous objects of nature are born out of necessity, inherently containing a large number of laws and Dao traces. For cultivators, they are absolutely the supreme elixir they dream of.

If an ordinary cultivator undergoing tribulation could obtain a rare item, they could save thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

However, such divine treasures and medicines have long been divided up by the major holy lands, so how could they possibly fall into the hands of an ordinary Tribulation Transcending True Monarch?
To make matters worse...

According to the laws of Heaven, when a Tribulation-Crossing True Monarch perishes, he will return to Heaven.

The laws and traces of the Dao that he has mastered will dissipate and return to the world once more.

However, many Transcending Tribulation True Lords believe that good things should not go to outsiders.

These laws and Dao traces were obtained through their arduous cultivation, so why should they be given to others for free?
therefore.

The various holy sites racked their brains and came up with all sorts of secret methods for inheritance.

For example, when a powerful master of the secret sect is about to pass away, he will condense his life's cultivation and Taoist techniques into relics and pass them on to the next generation.

Furthermore, True Monarchs who have transcended tribulations will use supreme means to imprint their own laws and Dao traces into immortal weapons and divine artifacts for future generations to study and comprehend.

Or they may pass on their own Taoist practices through methods such as possession or initiation.

This way.

Very few traces of laws and principles remain in the outside world; they are almost all controlled by the major holy lands.

Even if a small number of traces of the laws of the Dao remain in the outside world, they are scattered in various remote and inaccessible places.

Even someone as powerful as a Transcending Tribulation True Monarch might not be able to find it.

But there is always a way out.

If ordinary cultivators want to obtain traces of laws, there is only one last way.

Cross the robbery!

Risks and opportunities coexist.

Natural disasters and calamities are manifestations of the laws of heaven and earth, though they are extremely dangerous.

However, as long as a cultivator can successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, they can obtain a portion of the Law Dao Traces each time.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation is extremely difficult, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Even if one successfully overcomes the tribulation, their vital energy will be greatly depleted.

Unless they are truly at their wits' end, very few Transcending Tribulation True Lords would choose this method.

“In the path of cultivation, aptitude is certainly important, but wealth, companions, methods, and environment are all indispensable.”

"Lu Yuan has good talent, but how can he compare to the ten thousand years of accumulation of my Immortal Palace Holy Land?"

The Palace Master of Yuntian Palace said proudly.

So what if he's an unparalleled genius?
Are you afraid of my talent? Are you afraid of my strength?
Without a background and foundation, even a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch can only obediently bow his head and act like a dog!

Yuntian Immortal Palace's move not only precisely struck Lu Yuan's weak point, but also avoided a direct confrontation with him, minimizing casualties.

This is undoubtedly a win-win situation!
After all, rare and precious materials are acquired by the highest bidder.

These wondrous treasures of nature were all obtained through fair and aboveboard competition.

Does Lu Yuan really dare to defy the world and become an enemy of all the holy lands?
"It won't be long before Lu Yuan realizes that his so-called talent and hard work are utterly insignificant in the face of the profound foundation of our holy land."

"If he wants to improve his strength, the only way is to join the Celestial Palace and be at my beck and call!"

After pondering for a moment, the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace felt increasingly satisfied with his brilliant move.

But on the other side.

Without anyone noticing.

Alone, Lu Yuan quietly left Qingmao Mountain, transforming into a streak of light and speeding straight towards the East Sea Immortal Sect, the closest to the Southern Region!

So-called rules and laws are only made for the weak.

Since all the major holy sites are colluding, he can only solve the problem in his own way!

East China Sea.

One of the five realms of the spirit world.

This place is blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources, making it one of the most prosperous places in the spirit world.

On the shores of the East China Sea, three majestic immortal mountains rise straight into the clouds, seemingly connected to heaven and earth.

These three sacred mountains were shrouded in thick fog, their spiritual energy so abundant it was almost liquid, adding to their hazy and mysterious aura!
Each of these sacred mountains is like an ancient divine peak, standing firm in the East China Sea for hundreds of thousands of years.

Many passing cultivators looked on with awe and longing when they saw these three immortal mountains.

Because all the cultivators in the East Sea knew very well that these three immortal mountains were the locations of the three great immortal sects: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou!
On the Penglai Immortal Mountain, there are magnificent palaces and pavilions, celestial music, cranes soaring in the sky, and rare herbs and flowers growing everywhere, emitting a faint fragrance.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, and the laws of heaven and earth are transformed into Dao traces, filling the space between heaven and earth. It is a sacred cultivation ground that cultivators in the East Sea dream of, and a destination that countless geniuses dream of returning to.

Fangzhang Mountain is more solemn and dignified, and appears more tranquil compared to Penglai Mountain.

At the summit of the mountain, ancient palaces stand in rows.

These palaces are simple and natural, and every brick and tile contains profound Taoist mysteries.

If a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch were here, he would be overjoyed, because Fangzhang Immortal Mountain is protected by an ancient array that has imprinted the laws and Dao traces on every blade of grass and every tree.

For all True Monarchs who have transcended tribulation, this place is absolutely the supreme holy land for comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

The fairy mountain of Yingzhou, shrouded in clouds and mist, appears mysterious and unpredictable.

Many disciples of the immortal sects, dressed in feathered robes, were riding on their escape lights, traversing through the thick clouds.

Inside the celestial palace, flames leaped in the alchemy furnace, the sounds of refining weapons were incessant, talismans flew everywhere, and array lights flickered.

Beneath the purple bamboo grove, an old Taoist priest in green robes was instructing his disciples, and everything seemed so serene, transcendent, tranquil, and beautiful.

Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou are three immortal mountains that share the same lineage and origin.

Their influence extends throughout the spirit realm, making them the undisputed number one holy land in the East Sea!

However, it was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The three sacred mountains suddenly shook violently, as if the end of the world had arrived!
"I have long admired the unparalleled Taoist arts of the Eastern Sea Immortal Sect. I, Lu Yuan, have come here today to pay my respects!"

At the foot of the fairy mountain.

A black-haired young man with an ethereal air shouted loudly.

His voice wasn't loud, but when it fell, it was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!

Many disciples with weaker abilities were so shocked by the sound that their blood and qi surged, their vision went black, and they almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.

As for those Nascent Soul elders and Divine Transformation experts, they weren't much better off.

They were all furious, their faces turning ashen.

The Eastern Sea Immortal Sect is revered as an unparalleled holy land by countless cultivators.

Even the most unruly geniuses must kneel and worship before the immortal sect with utmost sincerity and respect.

Throughout history, has anyone ever dared to be as audacious as Lu Yuan?
Almost instantly.

Inside the three great immortal sects of the East Sea, streaks of light shot into the sky and appeared in the outside world.

When they saw that Lu Yuan dared to provoke the entire Immortal Sect all by himself, they were so angry that their eyes blazed with fury, and they immediately rebuked him.

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in my sect, you scoundrel?"
