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

"A grand competition among aristocratic families?"

Upon hearing these four words, Lu Yuan looked slightly puzzled.

He has been in seclusion for years and knows very little about the outside world.

Judging from Yao Tong's tone, it seems that this grand family competition is even more important than the rare immortal gold.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but although the Chaotic Demon Starfield is chaotic and disorderly, it also has its own rules for survival."

"Otherwise, if the fighting continues indefinitely, even a powerful Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable would not be able to withstand it."

"This Grand Family Competition is jointly organized by hundreds of top forces of all sizes in the Chaotic Demon Star Region, and it is held once every ten thousand years."

"The purpose is to distribute the benefits and resources of the Chaotic Demon Starfield according to the strength of each party."

"The stronger you are, the higher your ranking in the competition, and the more territory you will be qualified to occupy."

Yao Tong explained in detail.

After hearing all this, Lu Yuan finally understood what this grand family competition was all about.

Top families like the Yao family usually engage in open and covert struggles over various matters, accumulating countless conflicts and grudges.

However, if a full-scale war breaks out over these conflicts, the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation, with no one benefiting and only others reaping the benefits.

Therefore, this grand competition among aristocratic families was not only for allocating resources, but also for controlling the conflicts between the major aristocratic families within a certain range.

Moreover, birds die for food, while people perish for wealth.

Even cultivators of immortality are not immune to this.

This grand family competition is about the distribution of interests among various powerful forces, and it will definitely be extremely fierce, with many people likely to die.

Normally, he would definitely refuse, unwilling to get involved in the struggle between the Yao family and other forces.

But now that the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation is imminent, he needs a large amount of immortal gold and divine materials to forge the Blood God Armor into a top-grade immortal artifact.

So after thinking it over, Lu Yuan agreed to the Yao family's conditions.

Seeing this, Yao Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The clan competition is extremely fierce. In order to seize as many resources as possible, the major forces will not only send their own clan's most outstanding talents, but also try every means to invite powerful external aid.

Lu Yuan was able to slay a true immortal with his sword even when he was at the Returning to Emptiness realm.

If he were to participate in this competition, he might be able to help the Yao family achieve a good result.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, although the Grand Clan Competition is cruel, only cultivators under ten thousand years old can participate."

"Therefore, the strongest among them is only at the peak of the Dao Integration stage."

Yao Tong comforted him and then explained a lot about the rules and precautions of the aristocratic family competition to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan wasn't too worried about this.

As long as he successfully overcomes the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, he can use his talent of "Reversing Cause and Effect" to advance his future cultivation achievements.

By the time.

Even if he encountered a Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable, Lu Yuan could fight him!
After the cooperation was reached.

The Yao family patriarch kept his word and immediately had Yao Tong deliver a piece of five-colored immortal gold.

Although that piece of immortal gold was only the size of an adult's palm, its weight was comparable to an ancient divine mountain, and even a True Immortal of the Dao Integration Realm had some difficulty lifting it.

Furthermore, its entire body was shrouded in five-colored celestial light, making it appear extremely extraordinary.

"With this piece of Five Elements Immortal Gold, I can refine a top-grade immortal artifact."

Lu Yuan looked it over and nodded in satisfaction.

However, if other True Immortals who have attained the Dao heard this, they would surely condemn him for being extravagant and wasteful.

After all, celestial gold is extremely rare.

Ordinary Dao-Merging True Immortals use rare metals as materials when refining their natal immortal weapons.

Only a few powerful True Immortals with abundant wealth would add a small amount of Immortal Gold and Divine Materials to their natal Immortal Weapons.

When the Yao family patriarch was forging that bronze immortal ship, he only added a small piece of divine material.

But even so.

Yao Tong still valued it more than his own life, preferring to perish rather than let the bronze immortal ship fall into the hands of the Black Wind Pirates.

But now Lu Yuan wants to use two pieces of immortal gold to refine a top-grade immortal artifact.

This is simply too extravagant!
Moreover, when the Yao family patriarch learned that Lu Yuan was about to break through, he decided to go all the way and sent a large amount of rare metals.

Although these metals are not as precious as immortal gold, they are still priceless treasures, enough to be used to forge low-grade immortal artifacts.

three days later.

Lu Yuan adjusted his physical condition to its peak before quietly leaving Zhenmo Star with all the supplies, heading to a desolate planet to prepare for the True Immortal Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation of True Immortals is of a grand scale and is bound to cause quite a stir.

This place is desolate and uninhabited, far from all inhabited planets. Almost no cultivators would pass through here, making it very suitable for undergoing tribulation.

"It's time for a breakthrough."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, channeling all his divine power to raise his aura to its peak.

"boom!"

When he released his cultivation suppression, it immediately triggered an astonishing phenomenon.

The vast laws of the universe were drawn by this energy and immediately converged from all directions, forming a thick sea of ​​clouds above the sky.

Dark clouds gathered, like a massive army pressing in.

Almost instantly, this desolate planet was enveloped by an endless sea of ​​clouds, like an isolated island in a raging storm, which could be submerged by a tsunami at any moment.

Moreover, with the influx of the laws of heaven and earth, the area of ​​this sea of ​​clouds is expanding rapidly.

The area spanned tens of thousands of miles, then hundreds of thousands of miles, eventually reaching an astonishing million miles!

If a true immortal who has attained the Dao were to witness this scene, they would surely be utterly astonished.

The intensity of the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation is determined by the cultivator's strength.

The stronger a cultivator is, the more terrifying the power of the heavenly tribulation will be.

When the Star Luo Ancestor underwent his tribulation, the sea of ​​thunder was only about 100,000 li in circumference.

but now.

The True Immortal Tribulation triggered by Lu Yuan is more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary True Immortal in both power and scale!
The sea of ​​clouds surged and churned, obscuring the sky and the sun.

It plunged the entire world into darkness, creating a sense of oppressive tension and impending storm.

"Crack!"

In the unsettling wait.

A crimson lightning bolt, hundreds of miles long, roared from the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, illuminating the dark sky and making Lu Yuan's mood even more solemn.

The Heavenly Tribulation of True Immortals is extremely dangerous, an unimaginable life-or-death ordeal.

Only by overcoming this tribulation can one leap over the dragon gate, elevate one's life, and usher in the ultimate transformation from mortal to immortal!

Just then, a strong wind suddenly swept across the land.

The wind howled and the rain poured down.

Large raindrops poured down from the sky like a burst dam, blurring the surrounding scenery.

Lu Yuan, dressed in the Blood God Armor, his black hair fluttering, stood alone in the raging storm, his aura already at its peak.

"coming."

Amidst the endless sea of ​​thunder, a thunderous roar resounded.

A blood-red lightning bolt, shaped like a spider web, tore a hole in the rain and struck directly down on Lu Yuan's head.

This lightning bolt was incredibly fierce, a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, symbolizing the power of heavenly punishment. Its power was terrifying and far surpassed any previous lightning tribulation!

"Boom!"

Where lightning strikes, everything in its path is annihilated into nothingness.

But Lu Yuan did not dodge. Instead, he soared into the sky, raised his fist, and slammed it straight at the lightning bolt!

boom!
The crimson lightning was blasted apart by Lu Yuan's punch, turning into countless arcs of lightning that scattered outwards.

But he was also in bad shape; his entire body was charred black, his skin torn and bleeding, and even the surface of his Blood God armor had several cracks, clearly indicating that his injuries were not minor.

Lu Yuan's face turned grim as he realized he had underestimated the intensity of the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation.

This is only the first lightning tribulation, yet its power is already so terrifying.

Moreover, the power of the heavenly tribulation will continue to increase over time.

If we are not careful, won't we be wiped out in an instant?

"No wonder that even with the Heaven-Mending Elixir, the Star Luo Ancestor was left with only a wisp of his soul in the end."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

However, now that things have come to this, he has no way out.

The only option is to defy the calamity and try to carve out a sliver of hope from this world-ending catastrophe!
"kill!"

Lu Yuan used every means at his disposal to fight against the heavenly tribulation. Meanwhile...

He activated the supreme chaotic law, and a devouring power emanated from his body, instantly refining those lightning arcs.

This action was undoubtedly a provocation against the power of heaven and earth, instantly causing the power of the heavenly tribulation to surge again.

Countless streaks of blood-red lightning merged together, cascading down from the sky like a waterfall, engulfing Lu Yuan entirely.

"Snapped!"

Lu Yuan's physical body shattered, and he was reduced to ashes by a bolt of lightning.

But the next moment.

All the blood rain flew back and coalesced into his body once more.

that's it.

Lu Yuan's physical body shattered time and time again, was repeatedly struck by lightning, and then recovered each time.

His flesh, blood vessels, and bones were repeatedly washed away by the power of the heavenly tribulation, undergoing countless cycles of shattering and reassembly.

During this process, his primordial spirit and physical body are also rapidly transforming, becoming increasingly extraordinary and sacred.

Along with his Blood God Armor, after undergoing the baptism of heavenly tribulation and absorbing a large amount of lightning tribulation power, it also underwent some strange changes.

to the end.

Lu Yuan's primordial spirit underwent a transformation, and his physical body was elevated.

His whole being was like a pure and flawless gem, radiating azure divine light, with the flow of the Great Dao immortal charm!

His aura rose rapidly and endlessly, until finally it seemed to break free of some kind of constraint and completely merge with this world.

That is at this moment.

Lu Yuan's consciousness soared, abandoning all emotions and desires, as if opening the door to a new world.

His mood became calmer than ever before.

Not elated by external gains, nor saddened by personal losses, one is like the Way of Heaven, free from desires and wants.

Even something as precious as celestial gold was now like dirt in his eyes, utterly worthless, and it was difficult for him to feel any emotional fluctuation.

His understanding of everything reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Just like a frog at the bottom of a well, after leaping out of the well, it sees the vast world and finally understands the true meaning of life.

Death, life, time, and everything else are like dreams and illusions.

All things are vanity, only the Tao endures!
As Lu Yuan entered this mysterious and wondrous state, only one last strong impulse remained in his heart.

I only want to abandon all obsessions, give up all worldly possessions, truly return to nothingness, and become one with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, his body and spirit melted away like ice and snow, gradually becoming illusory and transparent.

But he felt no pain; instead, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally found great freedom and ease.

Until his primordial spirit was about to completely dissipate.

Lu Yuancai slowly woke up and sighed.

"Refining the void and merging with the Dao, existing alongside the heavens—is this the final trial of the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation?"

This challenge may seem harmless, but it is far more perilous than any heavenly tribulation.

If one is not careful, one may become completely lost in that state of oneness with nature and forgetting oneself and the world.

Throughout history, countless heroes and geniuses have fallen at this final step.

Having experienced many reincarnations, Lu Yuan's resolve was far stronger than that of others.

The reason he got lost just now was simply to take this opportunity to condense a fully formed divine body in one fell swoop!

The voice just fell.

Thousands of laws and runes manifested from heaven and earth, redrawing a body.

His primordial spirit, which should have dissipated, was rapidly condensing, and within a few breaths, it returned to its original state.

Compared with before.

Lu Yuan's physical body was dull and lifeless, like a piece of dusty porcelain, and his aura was even weaker than that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

Only he knew the immense power hidden within his seemingly ordinary body.

The divine body is self-obstructed!

This is clearly a symbol of the completion of the divine body.

After all, although the Lesser Completion Divine Body possesses immense and earth-shattering power, it still has many problems and cannot unleash its full combat potential.

However, once the divine body is fully formed, it will undergo extreme sublimation, returning to its original simplicity, and will be able to challenge the Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable!

"Crack!"

A crimson lightning bolt descended from the sky, but it had not yet struck the ground.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, swallowing all the lightning tribulation into his stomach like a whale drinking water, and refining it into pure energy.

With a perfected divine body, he is unparalleled in the world, and can even devour lightning tribulations with ease!
Followed by.

The sea of ​​thunder dissipated.

Lu Yuan also achieved perfect Daoist cultivation, and as if by natural progression, he smoothly became a genuine Dao-harmonizing True Immortal.

After breaking through the realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly used the "Reversing Cause and Effect" technique to advance the cultivation results of the Dao Integration Realm.

"boom!"

Lu Yuan's aura surged once again, instantly granting him the ultimate combat power of a True Immortal at the Dao Integration Realm.

He stood there, perfectly flawless, with a mysterious Daoist aura flowing around him.

The vigorous blood and energy surged like crashing waves, sweeping in all directions and causing the surrounding void to be overwhelmed, revealing countless cracks.

Moreover, at his level, he can be in a state of harmony with nature at all times.

Between one breath and another.

They can all draw upon the power of heaven and earth to form the tides of laws.

the most important is.

From the ancient sage who returned to the void to the true immortal who merged with the Dao, this is the transformation between mortal and immortal, and also a leap in the level of life.

He has become a higher-dimensional being that transcends all living beings and is no longer bound by worldly rules or laws.

Even if someone could physically destroy his body, they could not erase the traces he left in the long river of time.

without any exaggeration.

With his current strength, a single glance, a single look, or even a sneeze from him could easily kill a Void Returning Ancient Saint!
If the second-in-command of the Black Wind Pirates were still alive, he wouldn't even need to use the Star Luo Sword Formation; he could kill him with a single punch using only his physical strength!

Moreover, his virtual panel also changed accordingly.

"Has the subsequent content of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique been automatically completed?"

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly.

This technique has a very prestigious origin; it is an unparalleled skill created by a Great Luo Immortal Ancestor.

If one cultivates to the extreme, one can defy the heavens and defeat the gods, making even the gods extremely wary!

That's why.

The subsequent content of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Manual has been completely erased, leaving only the opening paragraphs, making it impossible for later practitioners to cultivate.

But Lu Yuan is different.

He possesses the ability to reverse cause and effect, allowing him to pre-plan his cultivation progress and then make up for the process of repairing his cultivation techniques.

It's like taking a test by simply copying the answers.

"The subsequent content of the other techniques has also become more and more complete, which has saved me a lot of effort."

Looking at the Purple Cloud Divine Technique and its other techniques, Lu Yuan felt a surge of joy.

The deeper his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth in this world, the more perfect and detailed the cultivation techniques he can deduce will be.

Under normal circumstances.

Even with his extensive cultivation experience across lifetimes, it would still take him considerable time to deduce the subsequent details of these cultivation techniques.

But now that we have the concept of "reversing cause and effect," it means he can know the answer in advance and doesn't need to waste time deducing.

Following the answers is definitely faster! (End of Chapter)
