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

In front of Lingxu Palace.

As Lu Yuan watched Zhou Xun's body burn to ashes, his expression turned somewhat solemn.

"Besides the Divine Fire Sect, the Blissful Divine Sect, the Evil Spirit Sect, and the Vast Holy Sect, these human lineages are probably also closely related to the powerful figures in the main world."

Unlike other world planes, the Origin Holy Realm is too special, and it is related to a main god's divine spark, which even many gods would be tempted by.

The reason why those major religions and orthodox traditions clashed with each other was ostensibly due to a struggle over morality, but in reality, it probably involved a power struggle between many powerful figures.

"The struggle between the great sects is still too far away for me. My immediate priority is to obtain the inheritance of destiny and improve my strength as much as possible."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then exhaled a breath of stale air, dispelling all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and turned to look at the Lingxu Palace not far ahead.

He has passed all the tests left by Master Lingxu, and now only the final test remains.

If he can comprehend even a trace of the Void Dao Law, he can push open the palace gates and obtain all the inheritance left behind by the Heavenly Mandate Master.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan immediately sat cross-legged and concentrated his mind to begin capturing the fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth.

For cultivators, the laws of heaven and earth are like air; though invisible and intangible, they are omnipresent.

However, the power of the laws of heaven and earth is too great. Ordinary cultivators would be in danger of losing their lives if they tried to comprehend them or even just touched them rashly.

Therefore.

Only when one reaches the realm of destiny can a cultivator be qualified to attempt to come into contact with the laws of heaven and earth and make them their own.

Fortunately, compared to the laws of heaven and earth, the illusory laws left behind by Master Lingxu are merely man-made rules and cannot be compared to the true power of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, according to Master Lingxu's assessment requirements, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream for an ordinary genius to comprehend even a trace of the laws of heaven and earth in a short period of time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Law of the Void should be related to the power of the God of Illusion."

"However, although Venerable Lingxu is powerful, he is only a half-step Void Dao expert. The power of rules he has mastered is not even a trace."

Lu Yuan pondered carefully.

Followed by.

The divine power in his mind poured out like a dam bursting, spreading in all directions and enveloping the surrounding world.

It can be said that every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every leaf on this towering mountain, including the wind flowing between heaven and earth, cannot escape his perception.

However, the laws of the Void are complex and intricate, and even ordinary geniuses would find it difficult to comprehend their mysteries even after spending ten or a hundred years.

Even though Lu Yuan had experience with multiple reincarnations, he was still clueless and didn't know where to begin to comprehend it.

However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he relaxed his mind and his breathing became increasingly calm, almost imperceptible.

Existence and non-existence give rise to each other; emptiness and fullness complement each other.

Attain utmost emptiness, and hold fast to stillness.

All things arise together, and I observe their return!

As the time goes.

Lu Yuan's mind went blank, without a single distracting thought, and he even forgot his own existence.

His boundless divine sense was like a gentle breeze flowing between heaven and earth, lightly brushing over leaves, flowers, grass, birds, and beasts, silently sensing the breathing and activity patterns of snakes, insects, and rodents.

His heart is like a smooth, calm lake, able to confront the true nature of all things and perceive the essence of all things in the world.

in this state.

He seemed to blend into his surroundings, becoming a part of this world.

The gentle breeze brushing my face, the rustling of leaves, the fragrance of the grass—everything in this world became clearer than ever before.

It was at this moment that Lu Yuanfu had a sudden inspiration and captured a peculiar Daoist charm from all things in the world.

As the Buddhist saying goes.

All forms and appearances are illusory.

All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed.

When Lu Yuan's perception of heaven and earth and all things reached its extreme, all the scenes suddenly shattered like illusions.

There was nothing there, just emptiness.

Lu Yuan's own body also became transparent and illusory, like a bubble under the blazing sun, which could burst at any moment and return to nothingness.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

Lu Yuan felt that he was on the eve of enlightenment and ascension. With almost every breath, many insights and mysteries of the laws appeared in his mind.

The insights that other cultivators sought for decades in seclusion but could not attain were as simple as breathing for Lu Yuan at this moment.

He didn't even need to actively seek enlightenment; a vast amount of insights into the laws of nature flooded into his mind like a river overflowing its banks, without his permission.

This is an unparalleled opportunity that all cultivators dream of.

But Lu Yuan always stayed true to himself, remaining clear-headed and calm.

Because he knew very well that this state of imminent ascension to immortality, although it looked wonderful, was actually extremely dangerous, like dancing on the edge of a knife.

The slightest carelessness will lead to the annihilation of one's life and complete assimilation into the laws of heaven and earth.

However, this is also the charm of the Void Dao Law.

Whether something is real or illusory, existing or nonexistent, ever-changing and unpredictable, it all depends on one's own thought.

As long as one's resolve is firm enough and one's belief is strong enough.

Even creating something from nothing, or making things out of thin air, is no problem!
When Lu Yuan is in this state.

His mind, including his martial arts will, seemed to have undergone a baptism, becoming even more steadfast.

His physical body and soul, as if tempered through countless trials, were refined to be indestructible and able to bear more of the laws of heaven and earth.

"Is emptiness the abode of the Tao, and simplicity the essence of the Tao? Is this the essence of the Tao's principle of emptiness?"

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, as if he had gained some insight.

The greatest truths are the simplest and the most profound.

The so-called nothingness is where the Great Dao resides, and simplicity is the essential characteristic of the Dao.

The 'nothingness' referred to here is not the absence of anything, but a state of emptiness that transcends the physical body and physical form.

only if.

Only then can one serve as a vessel for the Great Dao, making the laws of heaven and earth work for oneself.

"No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. This Void Dao Realm does have many similarities with the Returning Void Realm in the Eight-Star Immortal Cultivation World."

"However, compared to the Returning to the Void Realm, the power of the Void Dao Laws in the Origin Sacred Realm is more idealistic, and can even forcibly change the laws governing the operation of all things through one's own will."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

Judging from his understanding of the laws of the void.

The most important thing in the Void Realm is to return to reality from the void and refine truth from falsehood.

A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

For those who are powerful enough in the Void Path, as long as their strength is sufficient, they can turn lies into truth and illusions into reality.

"Could this be the key to the inheritance of destiny?"

Lu Yuan stood up and looked at the celestial palace in the clouds ahead again, and immediately noticed something amiss.

The celestial palace in the clouds was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an ethereal aura. It looked just like a fairyland on earth, appearing extremely realistic.

However, after Lu Yuan successfully comprehended a trace of the power of the Void Dao Law, he unexpectedly discovered that the Spirit Void Palace was actually somewhere between reality and illusion. It was like a mirage, not existing in the real world.

Or.

This Lingxu Palace once truly existed, but for some reason, it mysteriously disappeared into the past.

Only a powerful cultivator of the Void Realm can bring it back to life and make it reappear in the world.

"It seems that the so-called divine mandate is just a lie. The reason why that Master Lingxu went to such great lengths and set up so many tests is because..."

"I'm afraid it's all so that one day, someone else can comprehend a trace of the Void Dao Law, allowing the Spirit Void Palace to reappear in the world."

Lu Yuan stood atop the towering mountain, speechless.

have to say.

That Master Lingxu was indeed very skilled, using countless rare and precious treasures as bait to make everyone believe that the inheritance of destiny truly existed.

This led to a succession of young talents flocking to the Lingxu Cave, eagerly pursuing the so-called inheritance of destiny.

Only if someone actually manages to pass all the tests will they eventually discover, with dismay, that this divinely ordained inheritance is nothing but a complete fraud.

Lies and truths are intertwined, reality and illusions are mixed together, how many people can see through the illusions and see the truth behind them?
of course.

The arrangements made by Master Lingxu may fool others, but they cannot fool those powerful cultivators of the Void Path.

To those true Void Dao experts, Lingxu Shangren's methods were as crude as a three-year-old's lie, utterly incapable of deceiving them.

Therefore.

Only the Venerable Lingxu would set a rule prohibiting those at the Nirvana Realm or above from entering.

However, the Lingxu Cave has existed for over a thousand years. During this long period, countless geniuses have set foot here and contributed a continuous stream of their spiritual power.

Although their qualifications were limited and they had not passed the Heavenly Mandate Trial, they could only stop in front of the Lingxu Palace.

However, the rare and precious materials obtained from the secret realm are genuine cultivation resources.

Furthermore, the power of rumors to spread like wildfire is immense.

Through word of mouth among these young prodigies, everyone became even more convinced of the existence of the divine mandate.

Today it is today.

Lingxu Palace has already collected enough willpower; it is probably only missing one final opportunity before it reappears in the world.

"In other words, the power of the Void Dao Law that I have comprehended is the final key to bring the Spirit Void Palace back to life?"

Lu Yuan's mind raced, and suddenly he realized the key point.

"boom!"

Just at this time.

Suddenly, the celestial palace in the clouds ahead shone brightly, bursting forth with an incomparably dazzling and brilliant radiance.

Under Lu Yuan's gaze.

The once ethereal and transparent palace is now rapidly becoming solid.

to the end.

A magnificent Daoist voice, like the booming of a great bell, resounded throughout the entire secret realm, as if a supreme being was preaching and expounding the Dao.

It was merely a wisp of pressure that unintentionally escaped, yet it caused all the birds and beasts to tremble uncontrollably, and they couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground, desperately worshipping it, hoping to beg for its forgiveness!

This oppressive force was terrifying, as if a god had descended upon the world.

Even someone as strong as Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly as he felt an unparalleled, heavy pressure.

"This inheritance of destiny is indeed a trap!"

Lu Yuan was shocked, realizing that he had been tricked.

But you can't really blame him.

After all, who could have predicted that?

The Lingxu Cave, which was revered as a sacred place by countless forces and Nirvana experts, turned out to be just a lie.

Moreover, Master Lingxu has been meticulously planning this for a thousand years. Even if it's fake, it will become real over time!
Lu Yuan was uneasy and increasingly felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to back out...

"Bang!"

The bronze gate of Lingxu Palace, which had been sealed for a thousand years, suddenly opened at this moment.

Followed by.

An old man dressed in a fairy robe, with white hair and beard, slowly walked out from the depths of the palace.

"Who will wake up first from the dream? I know it myself."

"I never imagined that after a thousand years, I would be able to see the scenery of this world again."

The old man was visibly moved and couldn't help but sigh.

His complexion was rosy, and although his hair was completely white, his skin was as delicate as a baby's.

Especially his dark, deep, and aged eyes, which seemed to have seen all the ways of the world, shone with wisdom and could see through what others were thinking at a glance.

Although the old man behaved like a living person, his figure was still somewhat ethereal and transparent, as if he were still in a soul state.

"Young friend, my Daoist name is Lingxu Shangren. It must be you who comprehended a trace of the Dao of Emptiness and successfully awakened me, right?"

Master Lingxu smiled kindly, but his gaze toward Lu Yuan was filled with fervor, as if he were examining some priceless treasure.

"Junior Lu Yuan pays respects to Senior Lingxu."

Lu Yuan, who was about to turn and run away, could only stop when he heard what Lingxu Shangren said, and forced himself to bow and greet him.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As expected, new talents emerge in every generation. Young friend, you are exceptionally gifted. At such a young age, you have already comprehended a trace of the power of the Void Dao Law. Such talent is truly rare in the world."

"You are the most suitable person to be my successor."

Master Lingxu nodded repeatedly, becoming more and more satisfied with Lu Yuan.

"Senior, that's a big reward."

Feeling the intense gaze directed at him, Lu Yuan knew exactly what the other person was thinking.
It’s just that people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Master Lingxu's cultivation is profound, and he is only half a step away from the Void Dao Realm. Even if he only has a wisp of remnant soul left, he is still far beyond what Lu Yuan can contend with.

Therefore, even though Lu Yuan knew that this person had ulterior motives, he had no choice but to play along and pretend that he knew nothing.

"Young friend, you may not know this, but I was framed by a villain back then, and I had no choice but to make these arrangements before I died."

"However, the conditions for comprehending the laws of the Void are too harsh. Ordinary geniuses simply cannot pass this test. If it weren't for your help, young friend, I'm afraid I wouldn't know when I would be able to return to the mortal world."

"Young friend, please come into the hall for a chat. This Heavenly Mandate Inheritance embodies my lifelong cultivation insights, and I will now pass it on to you."

Master Lingxu smiled kindly, but to Lu Yuan, his smile seemed extremely hypocritical.

"This junior is dull-witted and unworthy of such a generous gift. It would be better if the senior left this divinely ordained inheritance to other destined people, so as not to disgrace the senior's reputation."

Lu Yuan politely declined, refusing to step into the palace ahead no matter how much Lingxu Shangren tried to persuade him.

"So, you're going to refuse my good intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lingxu's smile faded, replaced by impatience and coldness.

"Stop being so indecisive. Young people should act decisively. If you can't even seize an opportunity, what are you doing cultivating immortality?"

"You saved my life, would I possibly harm you?" (End of Chapter)
