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

In front of the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Lu Yuan waved his hand to dispel the True Martial Dharma Image, his expression calm and composed, showing no lingering attachment.

Although the methods of our predecessors were powerful, they could not ultimately defy the will of Heaven.

Only by constantly absorbing and summarizing the experiences and lessons left by our predecessors can we surpass them.

of course.

Although Lu Yuan did not follow the rules and walk the path of Zhenwu Tianzun.

However, there are still many valuable aspects to the Taoist teachings and traditions left behind by Zhenwu Tianzun.

For example, Lu Yuan obtained a supreme pupil technique—the True Martial Divine Eye—and a Heavenly Venerable technique—the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder—from those runes!

"Zhenwu Tianzun proved his Dao with thunder and once vowed to wipe out all demons in the world."

"And this True Martial Divine Eye can see through all laws and dispel all pretense and illusion!"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Deep within his pupils, purple-gold runes and other mysterious patterns coalesced, eventually forming a more complex divine halo around his eyes!

When Lu Yuan activated the True Martial Divine Eye, he immediately felt that his vision had become clearer than before!
At this moment, in his eyes, the world before him was like an onion being peeled open, its layers deconstructed, and all its structures were clearly visible.

This allows Lu Yuan to directly grasp the essence and see through everything!
Lu Yuan looked up at the purple-gold skeleton again, and his heart trembled violently.

Because what he saw was not a skeleton, but a magnificent and sacred figure!

The figure was imprisoned in place by the divine chains of rules formed from the Heavenly Dao's seal, which pierced through its chest and limbs.

But every inch of his flesh and blood, every inch of his bones, was formed from mysterious runes.

This is the Tao and Dharma that Zhenwu Tianzun cultivated throughout his life.

Even if one's soul is annihilated and one's physical body is destroyed, one's own Dao can still exist eternally, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot erase it!
However, those runes were far too profound, far more complex than the runes manifested by the True Martial Celestial Venerable before, and were already close to the level of the Dao.

Lu Yuan only glanced at it twice before feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and even his spiritual embryo felt overwhelmed.

"Although I have accumulated cultivation experience from many reincarnations, my soul is too weak to master such powerful runes."

Lu Yuan lowered his eyelids and immediately dispelled the True Martial Divine Eye, not letting the enormous temptation cloud his judgment.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.

This is not a joke.

He is currently only a Qi Refiner at the Divine Bridge Realm. If he overestimates himself and tries to dabble in the power of the Heavenly Dao Origin, he will be in serious trouble.

Even if he could barely grasp it, he would only be overwhelmed and die from overeating.

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze and began to ponder another Heavenly Venerable Dao technique.

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

The power of thunder is extremely strong and yang, capable of punishing on behalf of heaven, and its destructive power is unparalleled.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is the supreme technique of the Thunder Dao, even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation, and can be called the nemesis of all demons and evil spirits.

Back then, it was with this thunder technique that Zhenwu Tianzun forcefully killed three demon lords, making all the demons tremble with fear and never daring to cause trouble in the human realm again.

If Lu Yuan were to encounter Luo Yun again, he wouldn't even need to use [Heaven Follows Man's Wish]. This single bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder would be enough to obliterate Luo Yun's soul.

Followed by.

Lu Yuan didn't hold back either, sharing the True Martial Divine Eye and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that he had comprehended from the runes with Ji Chen and the others.

However, both of these techniques were the ultimate secrets of the Celestial Venerables, which were far too obscure for Ji Chen and the others.

Even though Lu Yuan personally explained it to them for a long time, Ji Chen and the others felt like they were listening to gibberish, and they didn't even get close to the basics.

This made Lu Yuan feel somewhat emotional.

As expected, cultivation doesn't lie; if you don't understand it, you simply don't understand it.

If one lacks talent and aptitude, even if the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance is placed in front of an ordinary Qi cultivator, they will never be able to enter the gate in their entire lives.

Just like in the past, most mathematical knowledge and formulas were publicly available, but many people found it difficult to even pass advanced mathematics, let alone reach an academic level.

While Ji Chen and the others possessed considerable talent, compared to supreme beings like Zhenwu Tianzun, they appeared quite mediocre and ordinary.

Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan had to simplify these two Heavenly Venerable Dao techniques again and again, barely managing to get Ji Chen and the others to grasp even a tiny bit of them.

Compared to the complete Heavenly Venerable Daoist Techniques, the simplified True Martial Divine Eye and Purple Heaven Divine Thunder are at least ten times less powerful.

But even so.

Ji Chen and the others were overjoyed, unable to contain their excitement.

After all, one must know one's own limitations. They were well aware of the gap between themselves and Lu Yuan, so they dared not ask for too much.

To be able to master even a portion of the Heavenly Venerable's Daoist techniques is already considered an immense stroke of good fortune.

"Everyone, the flesh and blood of this Ancestral God is also an unparalleled medicine..."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he took out a large piece of charred flesh from his storage ring, intending to share it with Ji Chen and the others.

However, Ji Chen and the others' expressions changed drastically, as if they were avoiding a snake or scorpion.

"No, no, thank you for your kindness, Brother Lu, but we are really not worthy of such a good fortune. Brother Lu, you should put it away quickly."

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from that piece of flesh, Ji Chen and the others turned pale and hurriedly waved their hands in refusal.

Are you kidding me?
This is the essence of the flesh and blood of a demon god.

If they dared to lay a finger on it, they would probably die on the spot.

However, seeing Lu Yuan's nonchalant attitude, the admiration in everyone's hearts was beyond words.

This is far too reckless! To dare use the flesh and blood of an ancestral god as a cultivation resource, are they truly unafraid of karmic retribution?

Lu Yuan put away the flesh and blood of the Ancestral God, then walked to the remains of the True Martial Heavenly Venerable and solemnly clasped his hands in a salute.

"Junior Lu Yuan thanks senior for your kindness."

After doing all this, he turned to look at Ji Chen and the others.

"Let's go, we've been delayed for so long, it's time to go and see the ancestral temple."

Lu Yuan then entered the dilapidated Taoist palace with Ji Chen and the others.

next moment.

Immediately, a bright white light burst forth from the ground, enveloping everyone and transporting them to another world.

"hiss!"

"This is my ancient ancestral home?"

When Lu Yuan came to his senses again and saw the scene before him, he was so shocked that his scalp tingled.

Even with his experience and knowledge, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

All that could be seen was in front of the crowd.

It is a towering, magnificent gateway that shines into the heavens!

Above the gate, the three large characters "Nantianmen" are written in a vigorous and elegant style!
Beside this heavenly gate stood two deities.

The deity on the left has eyes as sharp as lightning and a solemn appearance, as if he can monitor the entire heavens and earth. No one in the mortal realm can escape his divine eyes.

The deity on the right has unusually large ears, like two palm-leaf fans hanging down on his shoulders, as if he could listen to every word of all living beings and easily perceive their thoughts!
Behind the South Heavenly Gate lies the boundless Thirty-Three Heavens!
Each heaven is ethereal and otherworldly, with clusters of palaces and magnificent buildings, resembling a fairyland on earth.

Everyone looked up at the sky, straining their eyes, but could only vaguely make out a magnificent golden palace standing on the thirty-third heaven!

In front of the Heavenly Palace stood countless heavenly soldiers and generals, their imposing presence and overwhelming divine power inspiring awe in all who set foot there!
Not only that.

There are also ten suns suspended above the celestial palace, shining for eternity, too bright to look directly at!
Behind those ten suns, there are five majestic figures, standing silently between heaven and earth.

They seem to have existed since time immemorial, eternal and immortal.

Its terrifying aura is so powerful that it seems capable of breaking through all constraints and completely transcending this realm!

Before these five figures, even the light of ten suns paled in comparison. The countless gods and all living beings of the lower realms bowed in reverence and worship!
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen and the others were moved to tears.

In ancient times, the human race was at its most glorious.

A multitude of gods stood together, ten coexisted, and five emperors lived in the same world.

Even the most powerful races must submit to the throne!

But before Ji Chen and the others could even rejoice, everything before them vanished like a dream.

When they looked again, all that remained before them was a desolate and barren ruin.

The magnificent Heavenly Palace and the Thirty-Three Heavens have long since vanished.

Hundreds of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals were all stained with blood, turning into broken stone statues scattered throughout the ruins.

Even the ten radiant suns and the five towering figures who were invincible in the world wept blood in their eyes, and in unprecedented despair, they had no choice but to perish with resentment.

"How could this be?"

Ji Chen and the others were pale-faced, finding it hard to accept this fact.

"All of this is nothing but an illusion left over from the ancient ancestral court."

Lu Yuan sighed, his mood becoming somewhat heavy.

Even the most glorious and powerful ancient ancestral temples have ended up like this.

This shows just how powerful those innate gods and demons truly were.

"Let's go. The predecessors are gone. All we can do is try our best to avoid repeating their mistakes."

Lu Yuan was both comforting everyone and reminding himself.

The Great Way is like water; a single thought can dry it up.

Before the innate gods and demons who control the Heavenly Dao, no matter how powerful you are, you are ultimately nothing but an illusion.

Lu Yuan did not linger there and led Ji Chen and the others deeper into the ancestral court.

The former heavenly palace has long since turned into ruins. Now, all that can be seen are broken stone statues and collapsed palaces.

The group walked through the ruins, the atmosphere somewhat somber.

The scene they had just witnessed was so shocking that they remained stunned for a long time.

After walking for a long time, a dilapidated gate that was leaning backward finally appeared in front of them.

Near that portal stood two broken statues riddled with cracks.

One of the statues had its eyes gouged out, and two lines of bloody tears hung on its solemn face.

Another statue had its ears cut off, and two bronze nails were driven firmly into its ear canals.

But even so.

The two statues stretched out their hands, desperately supporting the leaning, dilapidated doorway, which prevented it from collapsing.

"You remnants of the Great Wilderness, how dare you set foot in this place?"

As soon as Lu Yuan and his group appeared, a young man in a blood-red robe with two horns on his head revealed murderous intent in his eyes and said in a gloomy tone.

Seeing this, the other prodigies from the heavens, who were scattered near the broken gate, also gathered around, but the human geniuses in their respective teams were nowhere to be seen.

Although the ancient ancestral court has been reduced to ruins, the laws of the Heavenly Emperor still remain here.

Only those descendants with pure human blood are qualified to pass through that broken gate.

The fact that Luo Yun and the others were able to reach this place was already their limit. If they took another half step forward, they would definitely be obliterated by the laws.

Therefore.

They could only stand guard at the entrance, sending the human geniuses from their respective teams into the depths of the ruins to see if there was any chance of obtaining the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance.

Originally, Luo Yun and the others had been staking out this place for half a month but had not seen Lu Yuan. They thought that Lu Yuan and his group had given up and taken the opportunity to leave Guixu.

But who would have thought.

Lu Yuan and his remnants from the Great Wilderness dared to show up here even though they knew they were no match for them!
What’s the difference between this and committing suicide?
“Since you dare to come to the ancestral temple, you must have something to rely on.”

"Let me guess, have you broken through to a higher level? Or did you receive guidance from that old geezer, the Imperial Tutor?"

Luo Yun looked at Lu Yuan and the others, and sneered.

The laws of the lower realm are incomplete and have long been modified by the Heavenly Dao.

Even if Lu Yuan breaks through to the Divine Fire Realm, he is still no match for them!
As for that old codger, the Imperial Tutor, his lifespan is already nearing its end. It's already quite an achievement that he can hold off an Ancestral God. Where would he find the strength to help Lu Yuan and the others?

Not to mention.

Which of the geniuses present wasn't backed by a powerful force or an unparalleled giant?
With these divine forces watching over us, there's no need to worry about the Imperial Tutor causing any trouble.

"Noisy!"

Faced with Luo Yun's mockery, Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand to deliver a fatal blow, directly using the Heavenly Venerable Technique.

All of a sudden.

Lightning flashed in the void, and thunder roared.

A dazzling bolt of divine lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime, as if to cleanse the world of all demons and evil spirits.

Upon seeing the lightning bolt, Luo Yun trembled uncontrollably, finally recalling the fear the demon race had felt when they were dominated by the True Martial Heavenly Venerable.

Just moments ago he had been arrogant, but now he was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost, and his face turned deathly pale!

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder?"

"Damn it, how did you know that move!"

Luo Yun's eyes were bloodshot as she screamed.

To outsiders, Zhenwu's demon-slaying feat is merely an ancient legend.

But for the demon race, these four simple words represent the tragic deaths and fall of countless powerful demons.

The demons' fear of Zhenwu Tianzun is so deeply ingrained in their souls that it has been passed down through generations.

It was one thing that the remains of Zhenwu Tianzun had unexpectedly revived before.

But now Luo Yun saw that the remnants of the Great Wilderness, whom he regarded as livestock, had actually used the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder technique.

How could he not be alarmed?
How can I not be afraid?

"Crack!"

Under Luo Yun's horrified gaze.

The divine lightning bolt descended from the heavens, carrying an extreme destructive force, traversing the endless void.

With a 'smack', it struck Luo Yun hard.

"what!"

Before Luo Yun could dodge, his entire body exploded, shattered into pieces by the lightning.

The power of one blow is so terrifying!
Now, not only the other Rakshasa prodigies, but even Yao Xue and the others finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

The True Martial Demon-Slaying Ceremony is not only aimed at the demon race, but also at cleansing the world of all darkness and evil.

This divine thunder from the heavens represents the ultimate power of slaughter.

If that attack had hit them...

Yao Xue and the others couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that scene!

Wasn't Lu Yuan a beginner in the Divine Bridge Realm before?

How could his strength have become so terrifying in just half a month?
Even Luo Yun was no match for him; his physical body was directly destroyed? (End of Chapter)
