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

"So this Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm can feed on Yin and Yang energies?"

Lu Yuan held the animal hide, seemingly lost in thought.

The Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm is an ancient divine insect, naturally close to the Dao.

The silk it produces is both strong and soft, impervious to water and fire.

Even without the branches and leaves of innate spiritual trees, it can still thrive by feeding on rare yin and yang treasures.

Fuxi also specially marked a sentence on the end of the animal skin scroll.

If Lu Yuan lacks rare and precious medicines, he can entrust the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm to them for safekeeping.

"As expected, Fuxi had a backup plan."

Lu Yuan was not surprised at all.

The wages of avarice is death.

It's understandable that Qingyan and the others were eyeing the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm in Lu Yuan's possession.

Moreover, it is virtually impossible for ordinary Qi cultivators to obtain food for the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm.

In contrast, Fuxi had the resources and treasures left by the Azure Emperor, which made him fully capable of feeding the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworm.

However, they never expected this.

As early as the Spirit Embryo Realm, Lu Yuan had already perfectly integrated the Dao of Yin and Yang transformation into the True Fire of the Sun.

His Solar True Fire also contains the power of the Yin and Yang, which is more than enough to feed the Ice-Fire Spirit Silkworms, so he doesn't have to worry about food at all.

Besides this animal hide, the resources that Fuxi used to exchange for the Fusang Divine Leaf included a large amount of other resources and rare treasures.

All the resources combined are slightly more valuable than the Fusang Divine Leaf.

Lu Yuan knew when to stop and didn't ask for an exorbitant amount, so he readily agreed to the deal.

In any case, the greatest value of the Hibiscus Leaf lies in the patterns and markings on its surface.

Once he has finished comprehending these Dao traces, the Fusang Divine Leaf will actually be of little use to him.

After obtaining the cultivation method of the Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm.

Lu Yuan did not rush to hatch the insect egg, but instead turned his attention to the rare treasures left behind by the Five Emperors.

These five rare treasures were enveloped in a ball of light and sealed with various seals.

It can only be viewed from a distance, not played with.

Inside one of the yellow orbs of light was a small clump of soil.

Although the soil was only the size of a fingernail, it was heavier than a mountain, and seemed to grow on its own and never be depleted.

This is none other than the legendary Breath of Earth from ancient times!

Inside the other crimson orb, there was a raging flame.

As the crimson flames burned, runes of law seemed to appear.

Even through the layers of seals, Lu Yuan could feel a wave of heat rushing towards him, making the hairs on his face stand on end and almost burn them.

Its temperature is terrifying, no less than that of the sun's true fire.

"Could this be the Samadhi Fire?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

This is an ancient divine fire that is on par with the true fire of the sun!
If the true fire of the sun is extremely strong and powerful, capable of burning an entire world to ashes in an instant.

While the power of the Samadhi True Fire may be slightly inferior, it has endless uses in alchemy and weapon crafting, and is considered the supreme divine fire by countless alchemy masters!
The other three ancient treasures also have remarkable origins.

Taiyi Divine Water!

It can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones; it is an unparalleled treasure of the waterways, coveted even by the gods of heaven!
A branch of the towering Jianmu tree!

One of the three ancient divine trees!

Legend has it that this tree is incredibly tall and can connect heaven, earth, and the gods. It is also a bridge between heaven and earth, through which ancient cultivators could travel to the upper realm and communicate with the gods.

The gods of the upper realm can also descend to the lower realm through this tree to spread their Taoist traditions and magical arts.

Unfortunately.

After Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, the Jianmu tree was also cut in half, and now only some broken branches and remnants remain in the world.

Within the remaining ball of light was a small piece of crimson immortal gold.

The piece of immortal gold sometimes transformed into a divine phoenix soaring into the sky, flapping its wings and flying high; at other times, it emitted a dazzling divine light, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

After it calmed down.

You can see that there are patterns resembling phoenixes on the surface of the immortal gold.

Legend has it that when Shaohao, the ancestor of the Jintian clan, was established by Zhi, a phoenix happened to arrive. Therefore, he recorded it with a bird and became the Bird Master, hence the bird's name.

In addition, when Shaohao was young, he married the daughter of Fenghong.

Therefore, the descendants of Shaohao have used the phoenix as their totem since ancient times.

This Blood Phoenix Immortal Gold was an unparalleled immortal material that a certain ancestor of the Jintian clan obtained by chance!
Although there was too little of this celestial material, it was impossible to refine it into a celestial artifact.

However, it is imprinted with a large number of laws of metal. If later generations can thoroughly understand them, their attainments in the path of metal will be immeasurable.

"The ancient clans' foundation is indeed extraordinary. With these five rare treasures, I will definitely be able to save a lot of time, and my understanding of the Five Elements will be much deeper!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

He then went to the cave dwelling of the Youyu clan and carefully inspected every corner inside and out several times to confirm that there were no problems before starting a new round of seclusion.

He sat cross-legged, and a thought struck him.

Then a great number of precious medicines and rare treasures floated in mid-air, like stars.

next moment.

A wisp of true solar fire emerged from the void, enveloping all the precious medicines within.

Under the scorching heat of the sun.

Before long, these precious medicines were all refined into a fist-sized ball of emerald green liquid.

at this moment.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire cave.

Lu Yuan only needed to smell it once, and the speed at which the spiritual energy circulated within his body increased significantly!
Once all the impurities were burned to ashes, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the medicinal liquid like a whale gulping it down!

"boom!"

The medicinal liquid entered his body and immediately transformed into a powerful medicinal force, spreading throughout Lu Yuan's limbs and bones, causing his spiritual power to surge by several tens of percent.

His entire body, like a long-barren desert, finally received a refreshing rain, greedily absorbing all the medicinal power.

"So cool!"

Lu Yuan felt his own aura growing rapidly, and he felt as if his soul was about to fly to the sky.

Since he simulated reincarnation.

This is the first time I haven't had to worry about cultivation resources and can freely refine all kinds of precious medicines!
This is simply amazing!
Ten plants, twenty plants, thirty plants...

As the time goes.

Unbeknownst to Lu Yuan, he had refined fifty precious herbs in half a day!
The surging medicinal power, like rivers and seas, surged endlessly within his body.

Even the pores of his entire body were overflowing with rich spiritual energy!

"It's time for a breakthrough."

Lu Yuan's spiritual embryo reached perfection, and he finally stopped suppressing his cultivation level.

It was almost the instant he released his restraint.

His aura suddenly surged, and he instantly stepped into the Inscription Realm!

And in his dantian.

The area of ​​the Qi Sea has expanded dramatically, and the spiritual energy is as vast as the sea, more than ten times that of before.

His spiritual embryo also seemed to have undergone some kind of change, becoming more sensitive to the power of heaven and earth, and even able to temporarily mobilize the power of heaven and earth to greatly increase his own combat power.

But this is different from the strong sense of confidence that comes with a surge in strength in the past.

When Lu Yuan stepped into the Inscription Realm, he felt for the first time just how vast and boundless this world was, and a feeling of being incredibly insignificant arose in his heart!

"So this is the law of heaven and earth of the Seven Star Wilderness World? It is indeed more powerful and complete than other lower-level planes." Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened.

One cannot know the height of the sky without climbing a high mountain.

If we say that a Qi cultivator at the basic third realm is like a frog at the bottom of a well, always staying in their own little patch of land.

Once they enter the Inscription Realm, it's like jumping out of this well, only then do they realize the vastness and wonder of the outside world.

Of course, the laws of heaven and earth in the Seven Star Wilderness World are extraordinary, but only relatively speaking.

Compared to the main world, it seems rather insignificant.

"My cultivation has accumulated too much depth, so breaking through my cultivation level is just a natural thing. Next, I will take the heavens and earth as my teachers and imprint the Dao traces of the heavens and earth into my body!"

Lu Yuan was prepared for this, and immediately took out the double pupil to carefully examine the Dao traces on it.

This is an heirloom of the Yu clan, containing the lifelong Taoist teachings and legacy of an ancient person with double pupils.

Anyone who can grasp even a fraction of this can benefit from it for a lifetime.

To make it easier for Lu Yuan to comprehend the teachings, Yu Xiong imparted to him without reservation the insights and experiences of his ancestors and prodigies throughout the ages.

With these insights, Lu Yuan will undoubtedly be able to comprehend the Dao traces of heaven and earth within this double pupil much faster!

The next half month.

Lu Yuan neither ate nor drank, did nothing but stare at the double pupils all day long.

The ancient double pupils possess terrifying power.

Just started.

Lu Yuan felt an intense stinging pain in his eyes, as if he had been cut by a sharp blade, just from making eye contact with him.

But as time goes by.

He had gradually become accustomed to the oppressive aura of that pupil, and could even see the traces of laws and principles imprinted deep within the double pupil.

However, the more he observed, the more he could appreciate the power of the ancient double pupils.

Although on the surface.

This is just an eyeball, but it actually contains a whole world inside!
Lu Yuan was completely absorbed in that world, so engrossed that he forgot to eat and sleep, as if he were possessed.

And when he gained something...

Suddenly, the power of heaven and earth converged from all directions, condensing into profound runes deep within his pupils, making his eyes even more profound, as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance!
I don’t know how long it took.

Lu Yuan's body jolted, finally snapping out of that mystical state.

Deep within his pupils, laws and Dao patterns intertwined, forming a strange ring that made it appear as if he had an extra eye.

When he looked up, the whole world seemed to have changed.

Before, mountains were mountains, and water was water.

However, he can now easily see the traces of the Dao condensed within the mountains, as well as the natural laws contained within the surging rivers.

With just a glance, he can see through the surface of things and quickly grasp their essence and nature!
"The power of the ancient double pupils is unparalleled. I have only grasped a tiny fraction of it, yet it has already caused a qualitative leap in my combat strength."

"Then, if one were a master of double pupils, how terrifying would their strength be?"

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling a chill run down his spine at the power of the double pupils.

In fact.

The super clans that have survived from ancient times to the present all possess some kind of supreme skill, and none of them are weak.

The reason why the Yu clan declined to this point was not because it was too weak.

Quite the opposite.

The Yu clan suffered divine envy and was suppressed by the will of Heaven precisely because the ancient double pupils were too powerful.

Otherwise, with the power of the double pupils, one might not be able to find many opponents in the entire Great Wilderness!
"However, although the ancient double pupils are powerful, they are ultimately someone else's path."

"I don't need to blindly copy it; I only need to learn from its essence and principles, and integrate them with my own methods to forge a unique path that belongs to me!"

Lu Yuan's gaze was firm, and he did not rely too much on this ancient double pupil.

God's will cannot be violated.

Even those with perfected double pupils were defeated before the supreme deities who controlled the Heavenly Dao.

Even if he were to unleash the full power of his double pupils, he would only be repeating the same mistakes.

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan put down the double pupil and took out another bloodstained martial arts eye to continue to observe it carefully.

The Ancient Double Pupil and the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye are both supreme inheritances with a prestigious reputation in ancient times.

Ordinary Qi cultivators who obtain even one of these can become kings and ancestors, and even be on par with gods.

However, Lu Yuan received both of these inheritances at the same time.

If this gets out, it will probably drive countless Qi cultivators crazy with envy!
By comparing the two, Lu Yuan not only accelerated his comprehension but also gained a deeper understanding of their laws and Dao traces.

A month later.

Lu Yuan put down the Ancient Double Pupil and the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, and exhaled a long breath.

His eyes shone like stars, and with each blink, a captivating light emanated from them.

The ring of law patterns deep within his pupils became increasingly mysterious and complex, as if they had merged with his eyes and become a part of his body!

When he glanced at it.

Suddenly, the world seemed clearer than ever before, and one could easily see the path and patterns of the laws governing the universe.

Life is unpredictable and seemingly unpredictable.

But Lu Yuan now realizes that everything has its own predetermined trajectory.

In fact, everything was predetermined from the very beginning.

And this is what ordinary people call fate or destiny!
"This is……"

When Lu Yuan looked down at himself, he exclaimed in surprise, as if he had made a significant discovery.

Transparent threads of varying thicknesses emanated from his body and extended into the outside world, connecting him with all things in heaven and earth.

"Are these fine lines what we call cause and effect?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He continued to look intently and discovered that among these countless threads, there was a rather thick one that stretched from his body all the way to the depths of the ancestral land of the Youyu clan.

This clearly represents the cause and effect between him and the Youyu clan!

"After I fused the ancient double pupils with the laws and traces of the martial arts heavenly eye, my eyes seemed to undergo some kind of change."

Lu Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.

Before this.

He had never heard of any person with double pupils, or anyone who possessed the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, being able to see the cause and effect or destiny of others.

Moreover, in ancient times, there were several exceptionally talented geniuses who simultaneously inherited the ancient double pupils and the martial arts heavenly eye.

However, apart from their astonishing combat power, they did not undergo the same changes as Lu Yuan.

"Could my situation be considered a special case? Or is it related to 'divine intervention'?"

Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly as he suddenly remembered his god-level talent.

Having personally witnessed the battle for destiny between Yu Qi and Hong Zhen, he knew that "God grants human wishes" was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

It should be noted that he expended a great deal of physical strength in his attempt to change the will of Heaven.

However, compared to ancient treasures like the Fusang Divine Leaf and the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, the energy he consumed was negligible.

According to the principle of conservation of energy.

Every time he uses [Heaven's Will], it probably consumes energy in addition to other things.

He will also pay a price for this that he is unaware of!

"Does this mean that every time I use [Heaven Grants Human Wishes], I will bear a share of the karmic consequences?"

Looking at the dense, intricate web of cause and effect entangled around him, like a tangled ball of yarn, Lu Yuan vaguely guessed the key to their workings! (End of Chapter)
