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

"Brother Lu Yuandao, what do you mean?"

Ji Chen's expression shifted, and he vaguely understood Lu Yuan's thoughts.

According to Luo Yun and those other proud geniuses of heaven.

This purple-gold skeleton belongs to the renowned Zhenwu Tianzun from ancient times!

According to the truth, Wu Tianzun was devoted to Taoism from a young age, possessed divine powers of thunder magic, and once vowed to sweep away all demons in the world.

His path to becoming a supreme being was also a history of blood and tears for the demon race.

He once single-handedly shattered the Dao heart of the Demon Clan, and they dared not emerge from the world for hundreds of thousands of years.

It can be said that although he is a celestial being.

But in terms of both combat strength and Daoist techniques, he is in no way inferior to the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Dao itself, how could Zhenwu Tianzun, with his strength, have ended up in such a miserable state?

But even so.

Even the mighty Heavenly Dao could only take away the soul of True Martial Heavenly Venerable, but was powerless against his immortal body.

The only option is to place multiple layers of seals to suppress it here forever.

If everyone could inherit his legacy, it would be an absolutely earth-shattering stroke of luck.

However, Ji Chen and the others looked at the purple-gold skeleton carefully for a long time, but they couldn't find anything special about it.

Lu Yuan remained silent, activating the runes at the bottom of his pupils, and immediately saw a large number of causal threads.

A golden thread of cause and effect emerged from his body, disappearing into the depths of the Dao Palace, connecting him to the purple-gold skeleton!
Besides.

Several black causal threads had appeared on his body, extending into the depths of the void, emanating a heavy aura of malevolence, which made Lu Yuan feel somewhat uneasy.

He had previously used the "Heaven Follows Man's Wish" technique to change the predetermined trajectory of fate, allowing himself and Ji Chen to escape danger.

But cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.

Everything has a price.

Because of this, Lu Yuan incurred the wrath of the heavens and the Rakshasa clan.

If this karmic cause were to erupt, with his current strength, he would certainly die!

"Fortunately, I am currently in the Ruins of Return, and Heaven cannot do anything to me for the time being."

"Before leaving the Ruins of Return, I must increase my strength as much as possible. Only in this way can I withstand the impending karmic backlash!"

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan wasted no more time and immediately walked to the front of the Taoist palace, clasped his hands together, and solemnly bowed three times to the purple-gold skeleton.

"Heavenly Venerable One, Lu Yuan, a descendant of the human race, pays respects to the senior."

"Today, the Heavenly Way is in decline, and chaos is rampant. Our human race is at a critical juncture of life and death. This junior wishes to examine the remains of my predecessors and comprehend the Heavenly Venerable's teachings."

"I have offended you greatly, please forgive me, senior."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he bowed three more times.

If the mountain won't come to see me, then I'll go towards the mountain.

This purple-gold skeleton was sealed tightly by the Heavenly Dao in this Dao Palace, making it unrealistic for Lu Yuan and his companions to obtain the complete Heavenly Venerable's inheritance.

Although there was no hope of inheriting the Heavenly Venerable's legacy, Lu Yuan could still try to decipher the runes on the surface of the skeleton.

Even if he could grasp just a tiny bit of it, it would greatly increase his combat power.

The purple-gold skeleton, however, showed no reaction.

However, the light on his body surface flickered slightly, and large areas of runes and Dao traces appeared.

These runes number in the hundreds, each containing profound truths and representing the Taoist teachings and insights of the True Martial Celestial Venerable throughout his life.

However, as soon as the runes appeared, they were quickly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao's seal, and their light immediately dimmed considerably.

At this rate, it will probably disappear completely in just a few breaths.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Lu Yuan did not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He quickly sat down cross-legged and urged Ji Chen and the others to comprehend it.

"quick!"

"Time is limited, so let's memorize these runes separately."

Ji Chen and the others were naturally aware of the importance of this matter.

They dared not waste any time and immediately did their utmost to memorize all those runes.

Although the Celestial Venerable's legacy is extremely complex and profound, Lu Yuan and his companions did not seek to fully understand it, but only hoped to memorize some of the runes.

In this way, the difficulty is naturally reduced significantly.

After a few breaths.

The divine light of the purple-gold skeleton was contained, and all the runes disappeared into the depths of the bones, making it impossible to observe anymore.

In fact.

The Celestial Venerable Runes are incredibly powerful, with each line containing unimaginable information and energy.

Ji Chen and the others had only memorized a few runes when they became dizzy, their heads throbbed, and blood flowed from their seven orifices; their bodies had reached their limits.

Even if they have more time, they will not be able to master anything more.

Lu Yuan knew when to stop and didn't press the matter.

After Ji Chen and the others rested for a while and regained some strength, they gathered together to share their achievements.

"I'm sorry everyone, I only remembered one rune."

Qingyan's face was pale, and his tone carried a hint of guilt and resentment.

How precious is the Celestial Venerable's legacy?
As a result, he didn't seize the opportunity when it was presented to him, and he may regret it for the rest of his life!

"I'm not much better off; I can barely remember one and a half."

Jiang Wan sighed.

"I'm a little better; I've remembered two runes."

Yu Qi's eyes were bleeding, clearly indicating that he had overdrawn the power of his double pupils.

But the most surprising thing is...

Jiang Ya, who is usually quirky and lazy, actually memorized three runes!

As the strongest among the younger generation in the Great Wilderness, Ji Chen risked the collapse of his soul to desperately memorize five runes, earning the admiration of everyone!
"The runes we've noted down are too scattered and hardly useful. I wonder how much you've gained, Brother Lu Yuan?"

Ji Chen looked at Lu Yuan with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

In the path of cultivation, the strong are respected.

Although Lu Yuan's cultivation level was somewhat inferior to Ji Chen's.

But ever since he revealed his extraordinary talent and led everyone to successfully escape the pursuit of the one-eyed earth dragon, he has become the backbone of this group.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan's methods are mysterious and unpredictable, and his true combat strength is definitely far superior to Ji Chen's.

Perhaps Luo Yun's defeat and the resurgence of Zhenwu Tianzun are both subtly related to him!
Therefore, in everyone's eyes...

With Lu Yuan's skills and comprehension, he can master at least ten runes!

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, making no attempt to hide anything.

"My gains were decent; I mastered one hundred and fifty-six runes."

How many?

One hundred and fifty-six? !

This statement came out.

Ji Chen and the others were all stunned, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Having experienced it firsthand, they knew very well how profound and mysterious these celestial runes were.

As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Ji Chen possesses exceptional talent and comprehension.

Even so, he could only barely remember five runes.

But Lu Yuan memorized 156 runes in just a few breaths?
Thirty times his?
What is this concept?
Even if he knew Lu Yuan was incredibly talented, surely he wasn't this monstrous? Faced with such a stark and obvious disparity in talent, everyone fell silent.

"Brother Lu Yuandao's talent is unparalleled. This is a blessing for our Great Wilderness and for our human race!"

After a long while, Ji Chen spoke with a sigh.

Lu Yuan didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this.

One Dharma can pass, all Dharmas can pass.

He has accumulated many lifetimes of spiritual practice experience, and many of the methods are easy to understand and learn at a glance.

Although the runes and Dao traces of Zhenwu Tianzun were complex, they were not too difficult for him.

It's just that the time was too short; otherwise, if he had been given a dozen or so more breaths, memorizing all the runes would have been no problem at all.

Followed by.

Ji Chen and the others were not stingy and handed over the runes they had memorized to Lu Yuan.

These runes are too scattered; even if they were kept, they wouldn't be of much use.

Rather than waiting until they forget about it later, it's better to go with the flow and do Lu Yuan a favor.

"Rest assured, everyone, if I gain anything, I will share it with you all and will certainly not keep anything to myself."

Lu Yuan promised.

With these runes, he dared not say that he had restored the entire legacy of Zhenwu Tianzun.

However, by perfecting and elaborating on it, one can obtain one-third of the true teachings.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only one-third.

If this true teaching were to fall into the hands of the outside world, even supreme giants like the Ancestral God of the Heavens would fight it to the death!
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on their understanding of Lu Yuan.

Although Lu Yuan was a loner, he always maintained a wary distance from others.

But he always keeps his promises; once he makes a commitment, he never goes back on it.

"Brother Lu Yuandao, we've wasted quite a bit of time. Shall we set off for the ancestral temple now?"

Ji Chen looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Not urgent."

"The geniuses of the heavens possess complete knowledge of the laws of heaven and earth, and their strength is on a completely different level from ours."

"With our current strength, even if we were to enter the ancestral court, we would be nothing more than fish to be slaughtered."

Lu Yuan shook his head and calmly analyzed the situation.

Everyone recalled Luo Yun's terrifying combat power and nodded in agreement.

Luo Yun nearly smashed Ji Chen into a pulp with a casual palm strike.

If it weren't for the sudden revival of Zhenwu Tianzun, everyone would probably have had their legs broken by Luo Yun and become prisoners.

Their rushing in now is practically suicide.

"In your opinion, Brother Lu, how should we break this deadlock?"

Ji Chen understood the implications and immediately asked.

"Give me some time to see if I can obtain a portion of the Celestial Venerable's inheritance."

Lu Yuan had already made his plans.

In the ancient era when countless races coexisted, Zhenwu Tianzun was invincible in the Demon Realm.

The runes and Dao traces he left behind not only contained his lifelong cultivation insights and experiences, but also a portion of the complete ancient laws of heaven and earth.

If Lu Yuan can use this to perfect his own Dao techniques, his strength will definitely undergo a qualitative transformation.

Even if they encounter a prodigy from the heavens, they still have the power to fight!
"Alright, since Brother Lu has a solution, then we'll follow your advice."

"Brother Lu, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything, and we will do our best to help you."

Seeing that Lu Yuan wanted to try to comprehend the Heavenly Venerable's method, everyone stopped being impatient and sat cross-legged like him, making the most of their time to cultivate.

Sunrise and sunset, time flies.

Almost in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

For the past two weeks, Lu Yuan has been working day and night, neglecting to eat or sleep, studying the runes he obtained from the remains of Zhenwu Tianzun.

Because he was so engrossed in his work and it took so much energy, his eyes became sunken and he lost a lot of weight.

But Lu Yuan's gains were also extremely substantial.

Not only did they utilize the laws of heaven and earth contained within these runes to correct the innate deficiencies of Qi cultivators in the lower realms.

Furthermore, he integrated the cultivation insights of Zhenwu Tianzun with the Five Elements Daoist methods, and finally took another step forward, bringing his own Five Elements laws closer to perfection!

The Qi Refining Method he cultivated before was an incomplete law that had been modified by the Heavenly Dao.

As a result, no matter how hard Lu Yuan tried to cultivate and deduce, he was never able to perfectly integrate the power of the five elements.

but now.

Every inch of his flesh and bones radiated a dazzling five-colored divine light.

These five-colored divine rays, like a mighty river and sea, converged together, constantly washing and cleansing his bones and body.

The five elements cycle endlessly, creating a continuous cycle of life.

This gave him an aura of perfect perfection and unparalleled freedom, making him radiate an immortal aura!
"This is the perfect Five Elements Spiritual Body!"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and felt somewhat invigorated.

If a cultivator who refines Qi through the Divine Bridge still needs to worry about whether their physical body will collapse when they transform into a Divine Bridge and bear the power of heaven and earth.

After Lu Yuan achieved perfection in the Five Elements, he became part of heaven and earth, and there was no longer any distinction between them.

How can being like a fish in water compare to being a river or the ocean yourself?
That is, at the moment when he merged with heaven and earth.

A vast power of heaven and earth gathered from all around, forming a nascent phantom image of a Dharma image behind him.

That Dharma image was ten thousand feet tall, its face blurred and unseen, yet it possessed an invincible aura that made it the only one worthy of respect in the nine heavens and ten earths!
What made Ji Chen and the others even more uneasy was that this illusory image of the Dharma was only in its embryonic form.

Once it takes shape, its power will likely exceed everyone's imagination!
"Could this be one of the top ten True Martial Dharma Forms from ancient times?"

Ji Chen was filled with apprehension and couldn't help but speculate.

When these Great Wilderness Qi Refiners break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm...

Under normal circumstances.

They will choose to visualize the images of their ancestors as their own spiritual form.

For example, Ji Chen, as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, embodies the Dharma Image of the Human Emperor.

When Qingyan breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, he will also choose to condense the Azure Emperor Dharma Aspect.

Because even the characteristics of a dharma can be strong or weak.

The stronger the Dharma Image condensed by a Qi Refiner, the greater their combat power will be.

Judging from the aura emanating from Lu Yuan, it is very likely that this is the legendary True Martial Dharma Form!
However, just as that magnificent Dharma image was about to take shape, it suddenly disintegrated and vanished into nothingness in an instant.

"Brother Lu failed to break through?"

The crowd's expressions changed slightly, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.

"No, with Brother Lu Yuan's talent, condensing the True Martial Dharma Image is an easy task."

"But he suppressed his cultivation and deliberately dispersed this Dharma form, clearly indicating that he had a bigger scheme!"

Ji Chen analyzed calmly.

In fact, it was just as he had guessed.

The reason that magnificent Dharma image disappeared was not because Lu Yuan failed to break through, but because he did it on purpose.

After all, the True Martial Dharma Image, though awe-inspiring throughout the ancient times, is one of the top ten most powerful Dharma Images in the world.

Those who learn from me will live, while those who imitate me will die.

In the ancient war, even Zhenwu Tianzun was defeated.

Even if Lu Yuan condenses the True Martial Dharma Image and obtains all the True Martial inheritance, can his future achievements still surpass those of the True Martial Heavenly Venerable himself?
Therefore, although the Celestial Venerable's legacy is precious, if one does not strive for improvement and blindly copies it, in the end, it will only lead to a dead end! (End of this chapter)
