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

"The secret realm has opened; you shall enter immediately!"

Star Luo Ancestor roared.

He transformed into a streak of light, passing through the pillar of light and stepping into the secret realm.

Upon hearing this, the other prodigies also rushed to step into the pillar of light.

Then an irresistible gravitational force came and instantly teleported them to another world.

"The Star Luo Secret Realm is fraught with danger and suppressed by the laws of nature. You must be careful."

A fragrant breeze wafted from the side.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Su Lianyue walking over, and whispered a reminder.

"I'll pay attention."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He had already investigated beforehand and knew that the Star Luo Secret Realm was a world unto itself, where no matter whether it was a Nascent Soul stage expert or a Void Returning Ancient Saint, they could only exert the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so the suppression of laws was useless against him.
Watching Su Lianyue and the other prodigies step into the pillar of light one after another, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry, but waited for a while.

Only after most of the other prodigies had left did he soar into the sky and disappear into the pillar of light.

There was a flash of light.

When Lu Yuan came to his senses again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Look up.

The surrounding area is desolate and uninhabited, with only vast stretches of medicinal herb gardens and towering, continuous mountain ranges.

The air here is fresh, and the birds sing and the flowers bloom.

The spiritual energy here was more than ten times denser than outside. Lu Yuan took a deep breath and felt the spiritual energy in his body become much more active.

Besides.

Rare and precious medicines that are hard to find elsewhere are readily available here.

Nestled among the mountains and valleys, numerous rare birds and animals roam freely in the forests, creating the appearance of a paradise on earth.

However, the most eye-catching feature is the central location of the secret realm, where a towering divine mountain rises from the ground, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, a three-zhang-tall divine tree is deeply rooted, constantly drawing spiritual energy from all directions.

On a branch of the three-zhang-tall divine tree, hung a fruit the size of a fist.

The fruit looked as if it were about to ripen, its surface covered with patterns of laws, and it radiated boundless divine light, making it look extremely extraordinary.

Even those thousands of miles away could smell that rich fragrance!

"hiss!"

"Is that the legendary elixir for mending the heavens?"

"It is said that this medicine can reshape the bones and make up for all acquired defects!"

"The Ancient Sage of Returning to the Void is indeed profound; this Heaven-Mending Divine Medicine alone surpasses all the Nascent Soul families."

The other prodigies couldn't help but sigh when they saw that divine herb that could mend the heavens.

They are of noble status, each from a top-tier Nascent Soul family, and they have seen all kinds of treasures and grand occasions.
But upon seeing this miraculous herb that could mend the heavens, they were all stunned and speechless, like country bumpkins from the countryside.

The way of Heaven is flawed, and the way of humanity is full of regrets.

Looking across the vast universe, who dares to say that their cultivation is perfect and their innate qualities are flawless?
The extraordinary power of the Heaven-Mending Elixir lies in the word "Heaven-Mending," meaning it can remedy any flaw.

Even if a pig eats it, it can rebuild its foundation and transform into an ancient divine beast!
"No wonder Ancestor Xingluo dared to forcibly undergo the tribulation; it turns out he had this Heaven-Mending Divine Medicine as a backup plan."

Lu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of understanding.

With this miraculous herb that mends the heavens, even if the Star Luo Ancestor fails to transcend the tribulation, he can start over. It's no exaggeration to say that he has a second life!
And at this time.

The Heaven-Mending Tree swayed slightly, its three-zhang-tall trunk rapidly withering and decaying.

But the light emanating from that fruit became even more dazzling.

to the end.

A dazzling divine light shot straight into the sky, as if some peerless divine object had been born, illuminating the entire Star Luo Secret Realm as if it were daytime.

The moment that light appeared, the entire secret realm was filled with an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.

It made everyone present drool and couldn't help but swallow.

A miraculous medicine to mend the heavens has been created!
In the past, if a miraculous herb were presented to them, everyone would fight tooth and nail, risking their lives for it.

but now.

Even the most ambitious and talented members of all the noble families, no matter how much they desired this divine herb, could only stand obediently in place, not daring to make any rash moves.

Because at the very moment the miraculous medicine was born.

An aged figure dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe appeared out of thin air in front of the divine tree.

The opponent merely stood there, yet exuded a terrifying aura that shook the heavens and earth, as if it could crush the eternal heavens, causing all the geniuses to tremble with fear.

"The divine medicine is complete. Today, it is time for me to transcend the mortal realm and become an immortal!"

The Star Luo Ancestor, his robes fluttering, laughed heartily.

at the same time.

His aura also rose steadily, reaching its peak in an instant.

"Crack!"

Heaven and earth roared, and laws intertwined.

Under the guidance of the Star Luo Ancestor's aura, a sea of ​​lightning gradually appeared in the sky.

This sea of ​​lightning is vast, covering an area of ​​100,000 li in radius. Its scale is so enormous that it is astonishing!

Moreover, deep within the sea of ​​thunder, a terrifying destructive force was emanating, as if something extremely horrific was brewing.

Under the shock of this destructive wave.

Throughout the entire Star Luo Secret Realm, all the birds and beasts trembled with fear, crawling on their limbs as if begging for forgiveness from the heavens.

Su Lianyue and the others were in no better shape. Looking at the flashing lightning above their heads, their faces turned ashen, and their souls trembled as if it were the end of the world.

"What terrifying pressure! Is this the Heavenly Tribulation of a True Immortal?"

"I'm afraid even a wisp of lightning could shatter a Nascent Soul cultivator into dust!"

Everyone was terrified and even doubted whether a mortal body could really withstand such a terrible heavenly tribulation.
"Ancient saints who return to the void must abandon their mortal bodies and undergo tribulations to be reborn. Only in this way can they transform from mortals to immortals and merge with the laws of heaven!"

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, showing no fear of the heavenly tribulation.

After all, he has gone through many reincarnations and even experienced the Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation. What is a mere True Immortal Tribulation?
However, due to the Star Luo Ancestor's tribulation, the spiritual energy and laws of heaven and earth in this secret realm have become more active than ever before.

He circulated his cultivation technique, and within just a few breaths, he gained a considerable amount of cultivation experience.

"At this rate, I'm afraid I'll only need half a month to catch up on all the experience."

Lu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.

As long as he can successfully enter the Nascent Soul realm, he will be able to fight even against a Void Returning Ancient Saint.

No matter what the Star Luo Ancestor's plans are, he will be able to handle them with ease.

Moreover, although the Ancient Saint of Returning to Emptiness and the True Immortal of Harmony with the Dao are only one realm apart, they involve a qualitative change from mortal to immortal.

Therefore, even if the Star Luo Ancestor successfully overcomes the tribulation, this heavenly tribulation will last for a very long time.

Lu Yuan could take this opportunity to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and frantically accumulate cultivation experience!

Think of this.

He stopped wasting time and instead found a mountain peak, sat cross-legged on the summit, and began to cultivate diligently while observing Ancestor Xingluo undergoing his tribulation.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit.

And above the sky.

Ancestor Xingluo raised his hand and waved it, sending thousands upon thousands of array flags flying and landing in various corners of the secret realm.

Moreover, the mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, and even a single stone in this secret realm all display array patterns.

These patterns radiated a dazzling light, eventually converging to form a magnificent array that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Using heaven and earth as an array? What a grand scheme."

Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

It is clear that the Star Luo Ancestor had been planning this for a long time. In order to successfully overcome the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, he did not hesitate to transform the entire Star Luo Secret Realm into an ancient formation to resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!
In addition to this ancient formation, Ancestor Xingluo also brought out a large number of talismans and spiritual treasures.

The most powerful of them all was a rusty bronze armor.

The armor was tattered and worn, as if it had been through countless battles, its surface covered with knife and sword wounds.

Looking at those mottled rust marks, many people would probably think that this armor could fall apart at any moment.

But the Star Luo Ancestor carefully put on the armor, looking as cautious as if he were treating it as some supreme treasure.

"Is this a damaged ancient immortal artifact?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the origin of the object.

The so-called immortal artifacts are the treasures used by true immortals who have attained the Dao.

Such a treasure can contain the laws of heaven and earth, and unleash unimaginable terrifying power.

If it were to recover to its full potential, a single strike could blast an entire galaxy to dust!
However, immortal artifacts are extremely rare, and they only occasionally appear in those major cultivation domains.

Compared to those major cultivation regions, Shenmu Star is merely a remote and impoverished place.

However, the fact that the Star Luo Ancestor was able to wield a flawed immortal artifact shows just how profound his foundation truly was.

Moreover, with this incomplete immortal artifact and that ancient formation, the chances of Ancestor Xingluo successfully transcending his tribulation will increase by at least 20%!
"boom!"

It was at this time.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The sea of ​​lightning surged and roared, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down directly at Ancestor Xingluo.

"Boom!"

As the lightning tribulation struck, it collided with the ancient array, immediately unleashing billions of lightning bolts that generated a terrifying, world-destroying shockwave.

Lightning raged, and the earth cracked.

Mountain peaks collapsed instantly, and even the smooth, mirror-like void was now covered with countless cracks, like a spider web.

All the geniuses present felt their scalps tingle and quickly summoned their treasures to resist the aftershocks of the lightning tribulation.

But Lu Yuan not only did not resist, he pushed the Heavenly Thunder Body Refining Technique to its limit and actually absorbed the lightning into his body!
For a while.

The shattered lightning bolts, as if drawn by a force, converged on Lu Yuan and entered his body.

Everyone who saw this was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

"Has he gone mad? This is a true immortal's tribulation lightning!"

"Although this is only a fragment of broken lightning, and its power is less than one ten-thousandth of that of a lightning tribulation, it is still something that no ordinary person can absorb."

"A mere wisp of lightning could kill a Core Formation cultivator, yet he absorbed lightning into his body. What's the difference between that and courting death?"

Su Lianyue was also dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan was so fierce that he even dared to absorb the lightning formed by the Heavenly Tribulation of a True Immortal.

However, no one knew this.

The Heavenly Tribulation of True Immortals is terrifying.

However, Lu Yuan's physical body was so strong that he could easily tear apart a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although it appears on the surface.

He was blasted apart by the lightning, his skin torn open, his whole body charred black, and he looked extremely miserable.

But in fact.

As Lu Yuan pushed the Heavenly Thunder Body Refining Technique to its limit, he quickly refined and absorbed the shattered lightning bolts.

And his cultivation experience was also increasing at an astonishing rate!

As the time goes.

More and more lightning tribulations fell like raindrops, and even the Star Luo Ancestor was overwhelmed and looked extremely disheveled.

Other prodigies, eager to seize this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, risked their lives to witness the Star Luo Ancestor undergo his tribulation.

However, opportunities and risks coexist.

The True Immortal Tribulation was terrifying beyond compare, eventually turning the entire secret realm into a sea of ​​lightning.

Several unlucky souls, unable to avoid the lightning, were struck by it and turned into charred remains, thus perishing in vain.

While the other prodigies had treasures protecting them, they also suffered greatly as the power of the lightning tribulation surged, and they could only struggle to hold on.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan remained seated cross-legged at the top of the mountain, like an old monk in deep meditation, without ever dodging.

The more lightning he refined, the faster his cultivation progressed.

10%, 25%, 43%...

half a month later.

Lu Yuan's body trembled, and he felt as if he had returned to his original state, experiencing a sense of great perfection and freedom!

"The Heavenly Tribulation of True Immortals is indeed extraordinary. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation outside."

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then, with a thought, he opened his virtual panel.

[Talent: Reversing Cause and Effect]

[Number of future results that can be anticipated: 3/5]

[Achievements already received: Tier 3 Mech Mastery (53% complete), Heavenly Thunder Body Refinement Technique (56% complete)]

[Available advance rewards: Gun Master, Novice Hacker, Weapon Master, Purple Cloud Divine Art - Divine Transformation Chapter, Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique - Divine Transformation Chapter, Holy Sun Burning Heaven Technique - Divine Transformation Chapter...]

"With all three cultivation techniques perfected, I only need to overcome the Nascent Soul Tribulation to smoothly enter the Divine Transformation Realm."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

However, he did not immediately choose to undergo the tribulation, after all, the Star Luo Ancestor was still breaking through to the True Immortal realm.

If Lu Yuan were to trigger the Nascent Soul Tribulation at this moment, the power of the tribulation would increase by more than ten times.

Even if he is very strong, he will be turned to ashes by the lightning tribulation.

The True Immortal Tribulation of the Star Luo Ancestor is also nearing its end.

His bronze armor had shed all its rust, now radiating a brilliant divine light and exuding overwhelming power.

But how terrifying is the Heavenly Tribulation of a True Immortal?
Even with this damaged immortal artifact protecting him, the Star Luo Ancestor was still struck by the heavenly tribulation, leaving him covered in wounds, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and even his skull was visible.

Not only that.

The sea of ​​lightning that had been shrouding the secret realm gathered together, eventually brewing a final, deadly tribulation!

"Crack!"

In the eyes of everyone's disbelief.

A devastating lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking directly at the Star Luo Ancestor.

The power of this calamity far exceeded anything seen before, and it was so terrifying that it defied description.

It hasn’t fallen yet.

This made all the geniuses present feel a strong sense of life and death crisis.

Even Lu Yuan's gaze turned serious, and he got goosebumps all over his body.

As for the Star Luo Ancestor, his expression changed drastically. Before he could react, he and the damaged immortal artifact were cleaved into dust! (End of Chapter)
