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

"The cultivation methods of the Great Court Kingdom are indeed exquisite."

Lu Yuan took the cultivation manual he received from Lin Zhi, studied it carefully, and nodded slightly.

Compared to the cumbersome and complex Qi cultivation methods and visualization diagrams of the Great Wilderness, the cultivation methods of the Great Court Kingdom are undoubtedly much simpler.

There are no distinctions between tribes or races.

Once you have it in your hands, anyone can practice it.

Moreover, the person who compiled this technique clearly put in a lot of effort.

The explanations of each realm are concise yet profound, and succinct in meaning.

If one has a decent talent, one can reach the Qi Refining stage in one year and enter the Visualization stage in two years.

Within five hundred years, one will be able to directly ascend to the Great Dao!

"While this method has its merits, it has a fatal flaw. If it were implemented, it would surely cause endless harm!"

Upon closer examination, Lu Yuan increasingly felt that this method contained some kind of great terror.

"Nonsense! Our late Emperor Da Ting had the world in his heart. Not long after the founding of the nation, he disregarded his own health to pray for the well-being of all people."

"The gods of Heaven, moved by the late Emperor's sincere heart, bestowed upon him the method of ascension, enabling the people of the Great Court to break free from the ignorant and backward totemistic practices, and allowing everyone to hope for immortality!"

"How come this perfectly good method of achieving immortality has become a demonic and evil practice that poisons all living beings in your mouth?"

Although Lin Zhi had become a prisoner, he couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of the Great Court Kingdom, so he immediately spoke up to refute them.

Lu Yuan, however, did not believe this nonsense at all.

Vitality, energy, and spirit are the foundation of a person; none of the three can be lacking.

Any Qi cultivator in the Great Wilderness understands the importance of tempering one's physique.

However, the so-called ascension method of the Great Kingdom only cultivates the soul and does not refine the physical body.

To cultivate to the very end.

Only when the physical body is destroyed and the soul ascends can one attain the path to immortality.

But Lu Yuan already knew the truth about this world, so how could he not understand what was going on?

"The person who created this method had a brilliant idea. All they had to do was stay in the upper realm, and a steady stream of food would be delivered to their door, saving them the hard work of harvesting it themselves."

Lu Yuan sneered.

"Nonsense! How could you unruly people of this desolate land possibly understand the late emperor's good intentions?"

Lin Zhi snorted coldly and said somewhat angrily.

He was born in the Great Court Kingdom, where everyone around him highly praised the method of ascension.

Having personally experienced the power of the Ascension Technique, how could he possibly let a mere troublemaker disturb his Dao heart?
"Since this ascension method is so precious, why doesn't your Great Court royal family practice it?"

"You keep saying that the people of the Great Wilderness are a different race, so why is the royal family of the Great Court depicted as half-human and half-dragon?"

"Even if we assume that you consider my Great Wilderness to be an ignorant and backward land, then why go to such lengths to obtain my Great Wilderness's Qi Refining Method?"

Lu Yuan's three soul-searching questions completely baffled Lin Zhi.

After a long while, Lin Zhi's face turned bright red before he finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"Our late Emperor was a true dragon emperor, and naturally cannot be compared with ordinary people."

"Even a powerful family like the Lin family, which is close to the Great Wilderness, was deceived by lies. It seems that the methods of the Great Court Kingdom are more sophisticated than I imagined."

Lu Yuan's gaze was deep as he pondered to himself.

Of course, there is another possibility: Lin Zhi's status is too low, and he is not qualified to access such core secrets.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to debate with the others, so he changed the subject and asked some questions.

After extracting all the value and information from Lin Zhi,

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, his spiritual power surged, instantly shattering Lin Zhi's spiritual embryo into dust.

"Although Lin Zhi is of low status, the Lin family is still a major clan with a Dharma Aspect Ancestor presiding over it."

"If Zhenhuang City learns of his disappearance, they will definitely investigate the matter, so I must improve my strength as much as possible before that happens."

Lu Yuan knew that the truth would eventually come out.

The Dafeng tribe and the Shigui tribe are only a few dozen miles apart. With the methods used by Zhenhuang City, they will eventually find out about them.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan took out a leather bag from the imitation mark.

He handed over all the mundane items, such as pots, pans, farm tools, and ironware, to Feng Huai'an.

However, Lu Yuan kept those cultivation resources.

After carefully taking stock, he was immediately stunned by his haul.

Inside the animal skin bag, supplies were piled up like mountains, with all sorts of precious medicines and herbs on display.

There are a full sixty bottles of top-grade Spirit Nourishing Pills alone!
Besides.

Lu Yuan also saw a magnificent suit of armor made of mithril, as well as a precious sword.

The armor was exquisitely crafted and of excellent quality.

Even for experts at the Spirit Embryo Realm, it is a rare and precious treasure.

Lu Yuan took out his hunting knife and slashed at the armor twice with all his might.

The armor was completely undamaged, its defense was incredibly strong, while the hunting knife had several holes chipped in it!
That sword could cut through iron like mud, and its power was equally formidable.

"The Great Kingdom has a vast territory and is rich in resources, truly living up to its reputation."

Lu Yuan held the sword with great delight, feeling very pleased with himself.

Resources were scarce in the Great Wilderness, and Lu Yuan was used to living a hard life.

He's really not used to suddenly getting a windfall.

Lu Yuan then discovered a large quantity of precious medicines in Shi Hu's animal skin bag.

"Burning Blood Grass, Coiled Dragon Ginseng, Mysterious Gold Vine..."

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement; these were all extremely rare and precious medicines.

Even a single plant can sell for an astronomical price!
He continued to inventory the animal skin bag and found an ancient formula for body tempering inside. Only then did he understand why Shi Hu had gone to great lengths to collect so many precious body tempering medicines.

The Stone Turtle tribe believed that the human body was the strongest weapon.

They rarely relied on external things, but instead tried every means to temper their bodies to the point of being impervious to swords and spears, as hard as metal and stone.

This ancient formula for tempering the body is an artifact left behind by the Stone Turtle Tribe from ancient times.

Its value is so precious that it cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Lu Yuan put the medicinal herbs aside and then looked at the Xuan Bone Heavy Shield next to him.

This heavy shield is shaped like a tortoise shell, its surface covered with knife and sword marks and intricate patterns, giving it a sense of weight and vicissitude that has been weathered by time.

Lu Yuan tapped the shield with his finger and felt that it was made of the bones of a strange beast, but it also had a jade-like texture.

And after some trial and error.

Lu Yuan discovered that this Xuan Bone Heavy Shield, besides having incredibly strong defensive capabilities, could also withstand mental attacks!

That's why Shi Hu didn't have time to use the heavy shield at the time; otherwise, even someone as strong as Lu Yuan would have had to spend a lot of effort to take him down.

"As expected, murder and arson bring wealth; I've become rich overnight this time."

Lu Yuan sighed.

Lin Zhi, as a member of a wealthy family in Zhenhuang City, was already rolling in money.

Shi Hu was the head of the tribe, in charge of the tribe's resources and wealth.

Now all their resources and treasures have fallen into Lu Yuan's hands, which is enough to support Lu Yuan's cultivation all the way to the Spirit Embryo Realm!
After Lu Yuan finished taking stock of all his gains, he gave some cultivation resources to Feng Ling and Feng Huai'an.

Do it all.

He then went into seclusion and immediately immersed himself in cultivation.

Day and night alternate, and time flies.

A year has passed in a flash, and Lu Yuan is finally five years old.

Early one morning.

As he sat cross-legged on the stone at the village entrance as usual, he activated his Qi Refining Technique to draw upon the essence of the rising sun.

The sky suddenly darkened.

All light vanished instantly, and the entire wilderness, along with the sun, seemed to be swallowed by darkness. But all of this came quickly and went quickly as well.

It didn't take long.

The darkness dissipated, and daylight returned.

But when Lu Yuan looked up at the sky again, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Because at this moment, two suns appeared simultaneously in the clear blue sky!

The two suns hanging in the sky were like two bright red furnaces, causing the temperature on the ground to rise sharply!
It was early morning, and there was still a cool breeze in the air.

But then the second sun appeared.

Many ordinary people soon became so hot that they were sweating profusely, felt dizzy and lightheaded, and almost fainted on the spot!

The lush green plants were dried up and scorched by the two stoves, as if they had lost their vitality!
"What's coming will always come. It seems the Great Wilderness is about to change."

Lu Yuan looked up at the two suns, his heart heavy.

And I don't know if it's just his imagination.

He always felt that the sun in the sky was different from usual, as if it had lost some of its spirituality and gained a touch of human-made coldness and ruthlessness.

"I can no longer sense the presence of the solar fire essence; there must be something wrong with these two suns."

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

The Great Wind Tribe are descendants of the Fire God, and are born with unparalleled control and sensitivity to fire.

but now.

No matter how hard he tried to activate his Qi Refining Technique, he could no longer absorb the essence of the sun's fire from the heavens and earth.

It was as if the sun had disappeared!
"But if the previous sun disappeared, then what are these two suns?"

Lu Yuan stared intently at the sky, a vague answer forming in his mind.

Since ancient times.

The sun is the foundation upon which all things depend for survival.

Furthermore, ancient sages used the sun as a totem and created the Fire Path Qi Refining Method.

It can be said.

The sun is the root of all fire-path Qi cultivators.

But that eternal sun has now disappeared and been replaced by something of strange origin!
Lu Yuan originally thought that this natural disaster was just a severe drought.

But now he discovered it.

This drought is far more severe than I imagined.

The Celestial Gods clearly intend to exterminate all the people of the Great Wilderness!
"Stealing the sky and changing the sun, two gods soaring into the sky."

"Even the Zhurong God Clan has descended to the mortal realm. The Heavenly Court really thinks highly of us old folks!"

On the banks of the You River.

An old man in a straw raincoat, holding a purple bamboo fishing rod, sneered repeatedly.

His body transformed into the great sun, its light shining through the ages.

Only the lineage of the Vulcan of that time possessed such supreme power!

Inside the sun, two towering figures stood suspended in mid-air, looking down indifferently at all living beings, ignoring the words of the old man in the straw raincoat.

"The Great Wilderness disrespects the Mandate of Heaven and defies the gods; therefore, a ten-year drought shall be declared as a warning to others!"

The voice just fell.

Those two suns were like blazing furnaces, causing the ground temperature to surge again.

Rivers evaporate, and the earth cracks.

A wildfire ignited ancient trees, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were instantly engulfed by a raging inferno.

Countless birds and beasts fled for their lives, creating a scene of widespread desolation!
Even all the fire-path Qi cultivators felt their spiritual power suddenly become uncontrollable and extremely violent, as if it were about to ignite their bodies and souls!
Because Zhurong, the Fire Official, patrols the heavens on behalf of the Emperor and can command all fires under heaven!

The True Fire of the Sun deep within Lu Yuan's dantian also seemed to be suppressed.

In the blink of an eye, it went from the size of an adult's head to a wisp of sparks.

Like a candle flickering in the wind, it could be extinguished at any moment!
Just as the entire wilderness was engulfed in flames and about to be burned to ashes.

"Ta Tata..."

A series of light footsteps suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

"He's actually still alive?"

Hear this sound.

The old man in the straw raincoat shuddered and looked up incredulously into the distance.

The two suns in the sky softened their imposing presence and dared not be so aggressive anymore!

An old blind man, leaning on a bamboo cane, slowly climbed the steps, step by step reaching mid-air.

He was dressed in rags, emaciated, and exuded a strong aura of death.

But when he appeared, the entire world fell silent.

The two suns in the sky lost all color and suddenly became dim and lifeless.

The once sweltering wilderness, like a furnace, suddenly cooled down, finally regaining a touch of coolness.

"We are just dying people who have promised never to be born again."

"This is the last bloodline of the Great Wilderness. Do you really intend to exterminate them all?"

The old blind man spoke in a hoarse voice and a calm tone.

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the two gods feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Don't let the old blind man's sallow and thin appearance fool you; he looks as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

But only these gods of the heavens truly understood just how terrifying this disheveled old man was!
“Go back and tell your Heavenly Emperor.”

"As long as I live, however many of the Celestial Gods come, I will kill them all!"

The old blind man tapped the air twice with his bamboo cane.

But the two suns in the sky suddenly disintegrated, as if they had suffered some kind of severe damage.

As for the two imposing figures, covered in wounds, they were terrified and wanted to escape back to the upper realm without looking back.

However, as soon as they turned their heads, they found that the old blind man who had been standing in the distance had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Give me back the sun of my Great Wilderness."

The old blind man said calmly.

The two dared not utter another word and immediately activated their secret technique.

The sky darkened again in the wilderness, just as it was about to return to daylight.

Everyone noticed that only one sun remained in the sky.

Lu Yuan and all the fire-based Qi cultivators sensed the presence of the solar fire essence once again!

"Senior Imperial Tutor, may we leave now?"

The two lowered their heads and asked cautiously.

Even though she tried her best to control herself, her voice still trembled slightly.

"roll."

The old blind man rebuked him without any politeness.

But the two men, as if granted a pardon, fled into the void and vanished without a trace.

The two suns disappeared, and the sea of ​​fire subsided.

A timely rain fell from the sky, nourishing the parched land scorched by the sun.

Everything returned to calm.

Everyone bathed in the heavy rain felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.

It felt as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

But Lu Yuan understood that this natural disaster was just a test.

Once Heaven discovers the true nature of the Great Wilderness, all sorts of natural disasters and calamities will surely follow! (End of Chapter)
