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

The great ravine has returned to its ruins.

A spirit boat is speeding deep underground.

Not far behind the spirit boat, a one-eyed earth dragon was hot on Lu Yuan and his group.

He would occasionally activate his single eye, unleashing a beam of destructive light that further ravaged the already severely damaged spirit boat.

"Brother Lu Yuandao, what do you plan to do?"

Ji Chen and the other geniuses of the Great Wilderness were extremely anxious, looking at Lu Yuan with longing eyes, clearly placing all their hopes on him alone.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to panic."

“The five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining. This Earth Element Spirit Boat is actually based on the Earth Dao runes as its core formation. I happen to be proficient in the Five Elements Dao, so perhaps I can try to repair it.”

Having figured out how to control the Earth Spirit Boat, Lu Yuan felt more confident.

"Use the five elements' spiritual power to repair the earth-elemental spirit boat?"

Ji Chen and the others seemed to understand Lu Yuan's plan.

This approach is indeed feasible.

It's easier said than done.

In the previous battle of Dayu City, it was only through the joint efforts of the top experts from various clans that the Five Elements Treasures were incorporated into the city walls.

If an ordinary Qi cultivator were to try to perfectly fuse five different powers into one, the difficulty would be virtually impossible.

But since things have come to this point, we can only try anything as a last resort.

Lu Yuan stopped wasting words and immediately used the Five Elements Visualization Diagram to transform the other spiritual energies in his body into earth elemental energy.

Then, using the power of earth element, they simulated the formation trajectory of the earth escape runes and attempted to repair it.

Under the continuous infusion of spiritual energy.

The Earth Spirit Boat, which had been severely damaged, now shone brightly, and many of the broken runes became whole again.

Although its speed is not as fast as it was at its peak, it can still maintain a certain distance from the one-eyed earth dragon and avoid being caught up by it in a short time.

"Success?"

Upon seeing this, Ji Chen and the others were overjoyed and their respect for Lu Yuan grew even stronger.

If Lu Yuan hadn't intervened in time, the entire crew might have perished here!
However, Lu Yuan was not satisfied with the result.

Although the speed of the Earth Spirit Boat has recovered considerably, it is still possible that it will be caught up by the one-horned earth dragon in the long run.

"The core runes of the spirit boat are too badly damaged. It seems I must find another way to completely repair it."

A new idea popped into Lu Yuan's mind.

"The five elements generate and restrain each other, and can transform into one another."

"Since the core of this spirit boat's formation is based on earth escape runes, could I modify it into a five-element escape technique?"

If Ji Chen knew his thoughts, he would probably be terrified.

The core runes of the Earth Spirit Boat were left by the ancient sages of the Xuanyuan clan, and their complexity is enough to give even the most powerful beings in the Ascension Realm a headache.

Repairing it in a short period of time is harder than climbing to heaven.

If one were to try to combine the changes of the five elements with the earth escape runes and transform it into a five-element escape technique, that would be a pipe dream and simply impossible.

After all, this is something that even the ancient sage who forged this spirit boat did not do.

Even if Lu Yuan is exceptionally talented, could he possibly surpass that ancient sage's mastery of the Five Elements Laws?

However, Lu Yuan, with his experience of multiple reincarnations, understood that it was not impossible; it would just require more time and effort.

He acts on his ideas.

While channeling the power of earth, he slowly repaired the core runes of the spirit boat.

On the one hand, they tried to deduce four other escape methods based on the earth escape method.

In fact.

Each of the five elements' escape techniques is extremely complex and profound. Many Qi cultivators often spend their entire lives cultivating them, yet they can only achieve a minor level of mastery.

But Lu Yuan plans to master five escape techniques in one go. If this gets out, countless people will probably think he's crazy!
It didn't take long.

As Lu Yuan's aura emanated from him, Ji Chen and the others sensed something amiss.

"Wait, Brother Lu Yuan, are you cultivating?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

When did this happen?

Facing the relentless pursuit of the one-eyed earth dragon, everyone's lives were in constant danger.

But Lu Yuan was able to cultivate as if no one else was around, even at the critical moment of life and death?

Moreover, it seems that he is comprehending some profound method.
Ji Chen hesitated, exchanged a glance with Qing Yan and the others, and finally fell into a long silence, unable to express the thousand words in his heart.

But as time goes by.

Lu Yuan's understanding of the Five Elements Laws became increasingly profound, and the aura emanating from him became increasingly surging and powerful.

Fire Release Technique!

Water Escape Technique!

Wood Release Technique!

The Art of Metal Escape!

to the end.

Based on the Earth Escape Technique, Lu Yuan successfully deduced the prototype of the Five Elements Escape Technique!
Even though it was only a rough outline, it brought his understanding of the Five Elements to an unparalleled level.

His aura surged dramatically, and he successfully entered the Divine Bridge Realm!

The so-called Divine Bridge Realm.

It is to use the physical body as a bridge and the spiritual embryo as a guide to communicate with the power of heaven and earth!
Once a Qi cultivator reaches this stage, their spiritual energy is inexhaustible, and they no longer need to worry about running out of spiritual energy.

Besides.

The physical body and spiritual embryo of a Qi Refiner in the Divine Bridge Realm will also undergo another qualitative transformation under the baptism of the power of heaven and earth!
After all, if the physical body is not strong and the spiritual embryo is not stable, how can it serve as a bridge between heaven and earth and bear the vast power of the laws?
After Lu Yuan entered the Divine Bridge Realm...

He felt his blood and energy surge like a dragon, and his spiritual senses were as vast as the sea. Both his physical body and his spiritual embryo experienced a tremendous improvement.

His overall strength has increased more than tenfold compared to before!
An unprecedented sense of power quietly emerged from the depths of his heart.

Lu Yuan had a feeling.

With his current powerful physique, he could easily tear apart a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm even without using his spiritual power!

"Brother Lu Yuan, have you truly broken through?"

Upon seeing this scene, Ji Chen and the others froze on the spot like statues.

Their eyes were glazed over, completely stunned and numb by Lu Yuan's series of actions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Yuan comprehended the Earth Escape Technique from the array runes of the Earth Spirit Boat.

Then, single-handedly, he repaired the core of the spirit boat, successfully widening the distance between himself and the one-eyed earth dragon, thus preventing everyone from perishing in the earth dragon's belly.

Just when Ji Chen and the others thought that this was Lu Yuan's limit.

As a result, he was able to cultivate while controlling the Earth Spirit Boat, and incidentally broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm?
It is important to understand that in the face of the vastness of the universe, an individual is as insignificant as an ant.

The power of heaven and earth is vast and profound, far beyond what an ordinary human body can withstand.

Therefore.

The act of a Qi cultivator transforming their body into a bridge to connect with heaven and earth is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could result in being crushed into mincemeat by the power of heaven and earth.

When those clan prodigies break through to this realm, they also need the help and protection of their elders or powerful members of the clan to ensure a safe breakthrough.

But Lu Yuan was able to multitask and control the spirit boat even while breaking through?

Just thinking about it sent chills down everyone's spines; they were utterly shocked.

Originally, Ji Chen and the others were the most outstanding direct descendants of various clans.

But now compared to Lu Yuan.

These so-called geniuses of the Great Wilderness were so devastated that they questioned their existence, and their very Dao heart was on the verge of collapse.

"Are we all imposters? Is Lu Yuan the real direct descendant of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"But even the Heavenly Emperor of ancient times might not have been so monstrous, right?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's youthful face, Ji Chen and the others felt dizzy and bitter.

"Brother Lu Yuandao's talent is extraordinary, far surpassing our own."

Ji Chen remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh, his tone carrying a hint of melancholy, yet also a touch of admiration.

At the young age of five, he successfully entered the Divine Bridge Realm.

Furthermore, in terms of Taoist magic, combat strength, and comprehension, they far surpass these descendants of the Heavenly Emperor.

Such talent and wit are simply astonishing and extraordinary.

Looking across the entire lower realm, it's hard to find another genius with such monstrous talent as Lu Yuan.

Even the divinely born true dragon prince of the Great Court Kingdom is inferior to him!

Thinking of that freak, even Ji Chen's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

Despite his divine body as the Human Emperor and his unparalleled combat prowess, he was hailed as the leading figure of the younger generation in the Great Wilderness.

But he had fought that freak a few years ago and knew all too well just how terrifying the Crown Prince of the Great Court was.

If Tingyanzong is the strongest fighting force in the Great Court...

Then the Crown Prince of Da Ting is the greatest genius of our time.

He was like an insurmountable mountain, making him unattainable for all young Qi cultivators!
"Tingyu was born extraordinary. Extraordinary phenomena appeared in the world, and he was born with the great fortune of the court. Not long after his birth, he was taken in as a true disciple by the gods of heaven."

"Compared to us, the great talents of the Great Wilderness, he is the true chosen one of destiny."

Ji Chen muttered to himself.

He then glanced at Lu Yuan, and his grave expression softened somewhat.

"However, although Tingyu is strong, there is still a considerable gap between him and Brother Lu Yuan."

"If Brother Lu Yuandao can grow up, he will surely dominate the lower realm in the future, and no one will be able to compare with him!"

Before this, he might have thought he could compete with Lu Yuan.

Now that he has witnessed Lu Yuan's extraordinary talent firsthand, he no longer has any desire to catch up!

He had even started thinking about how he could get on Lu Yuan's good side.

After all, when someone is only a few steps ahead of you, you might still try to catch up and surpass them.

But when he has reached a height that you can never reach in your lifetime, then all you will feel in your heart is awe and respect!

As a descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, Ji Chen possessed his own arrogance.

But he's not stupid.

Quite the opposite.

As a qualified clan successor, in addition to talent and strength, the most important thing is to have self-awareness and the ability to assess situations.

Those brainless geniuses, no matter how talented, are destined to die in fierce open and covert struggles.

However, just when everyone thought that Lu Yuan should stop there.

Lu Yuan, however, moved his mind and mobilized the power of the five elements to begin imprinting the five elements escape runes inside the core formation of the Earth Spirit Boat!

He has condensed the Five Elements Spiritual Body, and with the cultivation experience accumulated over many lifetimes, his understanding of the Five Elements Laws has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Lu Yuan's movements as he branded the runes were fluid and seamless, completed in one go.

It didn't take long.

The earth-elemental spirit boat beneath Lu Yuan and the others suddenly burst forth with a dazzling array of runic light.

next moment.

A ‘whoosh’ sound.

The speed of the spirit boat suddenly increased dramatically, becoming more than ten times faster than before!
Ji Chen and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and the spirit boat instantly flew hundreds of miles away.

They were moving so fast that they couldn't even see their surroundings clearly.

Even if they tried their best, they could only see a fleeting afterimage.

Even though the one-eyed earth dragon was already at the level of a half-step god, Lu Yuan left it far behind and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"Brother Lu Yuan, could this be the legendary Five Elements Escape Technique?"

Ji Chen steadied himself and asked incredulously.

The Five Elements Escape Technique is an ultimate skill of the Heavenly Emperor, which even the clan's prodigies have not mastered. How did Lu Yuan learn it?

"No, although Brother Lu Yuan's Five Elements Escape Technique is exquisite, it is still somewhat different from the Heavenly Emperor's ultimate technique."

A divine light surged deep within Yu Qi's pupils, revealing some clues.

Although most Qi cultivators only specialize in one law.

However, the ancient Heavenly Emperor was a genius of unparalleled talent. Even though he only cultivated other laws, he still possessed unimaginable attainments.

In addition, the laws cultivated by the five Heavenly Emperors of the human race correspond perfectly to the Five Elements.

This Five Elements Escape Technique was a supreme art created by the five human emperors who exchanged their insights and knowledge.

Not only is its combat power unparalleled, but it also possesses the world's fastest speed.

If one cultivates to perfection, there will be no place in the world that one cannot go!
According to Yu Qi's observation, although Lu Yuan's Five Elements Escape Technique was exquisite, it was still only a prototype and there was still a considerable gap compared with the true Heavenly Emperor's ultimate technique.

But even so.

This Five Elements Escape Technique is still considered extremely exquisite, many times more profound than the escape techniques they practice!
"Brother Yu has a good eye. Actually, this Five Elements Escape Technique is just something I deduced."

Lu Yuan said frankly.

He spoke casually, but to everyone's ears, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone's heads buzz.

In less than half an hour.

Lu Yuan deduced the prototype of the Five Elements Escape Method based on the Earth Escape Method.

What kind of incredible talent is this?

Ji Chen and the others were as if they had heard a heavenly book, and they admired him immensely.

Even though they had repeatedly increased their regard for Lu Yuan in their hearts.

But only now did they realize that they had greatly underestimated Lu Yuan's talent and ability!
"Could it be that after many eras, a young Heavenly Emperor is about to emerge once again in our Great Wilderness?"

The thought of this possibility made everyone's hearts pound, and their gazes toward Lu Yuan carried a hint of awe.

The Great Wilderness had long been devastated by war and was in ruins.

If we disregard the ancient beings like the Imperial Tutor, the Great Wilderness now has only a handful of Ascension Realm experts.

But if a young Heavenly Emperor were to appear in the Great Wilderness, it would surely be an earth-shattering event.

At that time, not only will the small court be shaken and terrified, but even the heavens will be shaken and terrified!
Compared to the excited and uncontrollable geniuses of the Great Wilderness, Lu Yuan did not show much emotional fluctuation.

After all, he had experienced many lifetimes, and his insight and knowledge were far superior to those of Ji Chen and others.

Just now, due to the short time available and the need to multitask by controlling the spirit boat, he was unable to fully concentrate on his cultivation.

Otherwise, given his methods and experience, given enough time...

Even deduce the true Five Elements Escape Technique, it would be a piece of cake! (End of Chapter)
