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

"What you say is absolutely right, senior. However, I am too unfortunate to bear this great fortune."

"Perhaps you should wait patiently for the right time and find another person who is destined to be with you."

Lu Yuan said with trepidation.

For countless geniuses, inheriting the Mandate of Heaven is an unparalleled blessing that can only be encountered by chance.

They gave everything they had, but still could not get in.

But now.

Facing the open gates of Lingxu Palace, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and wished he could turn around and run away immediately.

Although he didn't know what Master Lingxu was really up to.

However, his experience accumulated through many lifetimes told him that Master Lingxu had been deceiving the world and had been secretly plotting for many years.

Now they're trying to trick him into entering the Lingxu Palace; nothing good is coming of it.

If he actually listened to Master Lingxu's words, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, courting death!
"What a clever little rascal! I had put in a lot of effort to teach you everything I knew, but you don't know what's good for you."

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Seeing Lu Yuan's repeated rejections, Master Lingxu finally dropped all pretense and stopped hiding anything.

The voice just fell.

He then reached out a large hand and grabbed directly at Lu Yuan.

Within his palm, countless runes of law evolved, resembling a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, imprisoning the void and leaving Lu Yuan with nowhere to retreat, unable to move from his spot.

"Is this the strength of a half-step Void Dao expert?"

Faced with this earth-shattering palm strike, Lu Yuan did not panic; instead, his mind became clearer than ever before.

Then, as if he had a sudden realization, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"boom!"

Lingxu Shangren's palm passed through Lu Yuan's body and slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire towering mountain to shake violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

But after the smoke and dust cleared...

Master Lingxu's eyes widened, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Because after Lu Yuan was struck by a palm, he was completely unharmed and suffered no injury whatsoever!
This is precisely the mystery of the power of the Void Dao Law.

Whether it is real or illusory, true or false, it all depends on a cultivator's single thought.

Since Master Lingxu could take advantage of Lu Yuan's opportunity to comprehend the laws of the Void Dao to reassemble a wisp of his remnant soul.

Then Lu Yuan could also use this wisp of the power of the Void Dao Law to nullify his attack!
"You are indeed extraordinary, to have comprehended the method of using the Void Dao Law in such a short time."

Master Lingxu's face was ashen, but a hint of resentment flashed deep in his eyes.

If he were at his peak, the trace of the power of the Void Dao Law that Lu Yuan had comprehended would naturally be useless to him.

But he is now just a remnant soul. Even if he is lucky enough to be resurrected, it will be with the help of Lu Yuan. Where would he have the strength to suppress Lu Yuan?
His original plan was to lure Lu Yuan into the Lingxu Palace first, and then he would only need to activate the formation to suppress Lu Yuan.

But who knew that Lu Yuan would be so cunning, refusing to take even a step closer to Lingxu Palace, causing his plan to fail before it could be implemented and thus die in the womb.

"That's enough. Don't pester me anymore. With the laws of the Void Dao, you can't do anything to me."

Seeing that Lingxu Shangren could not harm him, Lu Yuan finally felt relieved.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of relief.

Master Lingxu was meticulous and had been planning for over a thousand years; his entire plan was flawless.

Even with his extensive experience of reincarnation, Lu Yuan nearly suffered a setback.

Fortunately, he remained cautious at all times and did not listen to Lingxu Shangren's one-sided words. Otherwise, once he stepped into Lingxu Palace, he would have been unable to live or die.

"Young friend, you jest. Haven't you heard that there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests?"

"Now that you know the secrets of Lingxu Palace, why not cooperate with me?"

"If you help me restore my physical body, I will take you as my disciple and teach you all my martial arts techniques."

Knowing that he couldn't control Lu Yuan, Master Lingxu offered some kind words of advice.

"No need, you can keep it for the next person who is destined to have it."

Lu Yuan didn't believe a single word that Master Lingxu said.

Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and walked down the mountain.

However, upon seeing Lu Yuan's actions, Master Lingxu immediately became anxious.

Although he has successfully been reborn, he is now merely a remnant soul. If Lu Yuan reveals the truth about the Lingxu Cave to the world, it will surely attract the attention of other powerful cultivators in the Void Path.

At that time, in front of other powerful figures, Master Lingxu will be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy!

"Young friend, it's always good to leave room for maneuver and make a good connection. Are you really determined to ruin everything?"

Master Lingxu said in a fit of anger.

"Good karma? When you went all out just now, did you ever think of letting me go?"

Lu Yuan's face turned cold as he rebuked him without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, Master Lingxu gritted his teeth in anger, feeling both anxious and furious, wishing he could slap the young man in front of him to death.

Just as Lu Yuan's figure was about to disappear from his sight like a ghost.

Master Lingxu gritted his teeth and, disregarding everything else, transformed into a streak of light and instantly gave chase.

If he lets Lu Yuan leave, what awaits him is endless torment and interrogation.

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well fight for a chance to survive!
All of a sudden.

The remnant soul of Master Lingxu erupted with unprecedented light, instantly transforming into a raging torrent that surged towards Lu Yuan's mind.

He was incredibly fast, catching up with Lu Yuan in an instant, and then instantly entered the Soul Palace, intending to seize Lu Yuan's soul.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws, and no one is exempt.

If one rashly seizes another's body, one is often easily met with a backlash, and if one is not careful, one's soul will be scattered.

But Master Lingxu was at his wit's end and had no choice but to try his best, making one last desperate attempt.

However, as soon as he entered Lu Yuan's Soul Palace, he immediately regretted it.

He was horrified to discover that Lu Yuan's soul palace was exceptionally sturdy, like an impregnable city, making it extremely difficult to breach.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's spiritual power was incredibly strong, far beyond what he could easily control!

"Damn it! How did this kid cultivate? His talent is extraordinary, but why is his soul so powerful?"

Master Lingxu cried out in despair, his heart filled with regret and despair.

But the act of possession is inherently risky and allows no hesitation or retreat.

at this point.

He had no way out and could only grit his teeth and mobilize his divine soul power, intending to forcibly possess Lu Yuan's body!
"A mere wisp of a remnant soul dares to possess me?"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he instantly activated the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra and the Sword Dao of Self-Slaying, pouring all his divine soul power into the God-Slaying Sword.

"Buzz!"

The God-Slaying Sword was revived to its fullest extent, unleashing an unparalleled burst of dazzling light that made people afraid to look directly at it.

The sword energy seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth in two!

It should be noted that both the "Sword Path of Self-Slaying" and the "Pure Lotus Heart Sutra" are supreme methods of refining the soul, and have an extremely significant effect on tempering the spirit and soul.

Although Lu Yuan was only at the sixth level of Nirvana, after comprehending a trace of the Void Dao Law, his soul underwent countless trials and tribulations, making him far stronger than cultivators of the same level, and even comparable to powerful beings of the Heavenly Fate Realm. Not to mention...

The God-Slaying Sword was an unparalleled killing technique he awakened after entering the Nirvana Realm.

This sword can cleave the heavens above and the earth below.

All things in the heavens and earth, all living beings, can be annihilated with a single sword strike!
On the other hand, Lingxu Shangren is just a remnant soul. Now he has given up his home advantage and actively entered Lu Yuan's soul palace. This move is undoubtedly walking into a trap!

"go with!"

With a slight thought, Lu Yuan sent the God-Slaying Sword across the sky, transforming into a white rainbow that slashed down at Lingxu Shangren.

"You brat, don't push your luck!"

Master Lingxu felt a chill run through his body and rebuked him with a fierce but weak expression.

Followed by.

He hurriedly formed hand seals and activated his most powerful techniques.

A beam of white light shot out from his body and suddenly struck the God-Slaying Sword, causing its blade to twist and sway, becoming somewhat illusory and transparent, and its power was greatly weakened.

"Is this the power of the Void Dao Laws that Master Lingxu comprehended?"

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly as he sensed a familiar power fluctuation emanating from the white light.

The laws of the Void have infinite uses; they can transform the false into the true, and the true into the false.

The move performed by Master Lingxu could obviously render the enemy's attack ineffective, causing no damage whatsoever.

But even so.

The God-Slaying Sword still carried an indomitable momentum, striking heavily against the surface of Lingxu Shangren's body.

"Shh!"

A fierce sword light erupted suddenly, slicing through Lingxu Shangren's body like a knife cutting through butter, leaving a long wound.

"Aaaaah! You nameless wretch, how dare you hurt me!"

Master Lingxu immediately let out a shrill scream and cursed desperately in the most vicious language.

Although Lu Yuan's sword strike did not directly kill Lingxu Shangren, it left him with serious injuries.

This caused its body to become increasingly dim and transparent, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

"Even when death is imminent, you still dare to be stubborn."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and activated the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra once again.

The three-colored lotus swayed slightly, then soared into the air, blooming proudly between heaven and earth.

As the lotus leaves swayed, countless rays of light shone down upon Master Lingxu.

These rosy clouds may appear dazzling and beautiful, but they actually conceal deadly dangers, capable of imprisoning the soul and sealing off the heavens and earth.

"Damn it! How do you know the true essence of Zen Buddhism?"

Master Lingxu's expression changed drastically. Knowing the power of the three-colored light, he dared not touch it at all and could only force himself to stay upright and desperately dodge in all directions.

But he was inside Lu Yuan's Soul Palace, like a turtle in a jar. No matter how fast he was, where could he hide?

Moreover, Lu Yuan was multitasking, simultaneously activating the Three-Colored Lotus and the God-Slaying Sword, leaving Lingxu Shangren with nowhere to hide.

It didn't take long.

Master Lingxu was struck by an invisible sword aura, and his body became increasingly illusory, and his speed also slowed down considerably.

next moment.

He couldn't dodge in time and was struck by a ray of light. He froze, completely petrified, unable to move.

Then, a sky full of rosy light gathered and formed a three-colored lotus, which imprisoned Lingxu Shangren inside, depriving him of all power to resist and making him no longer able to pose any threat to Lu Yuan!

"A half-step Void Dao expert is indeed not to be underestimated. If it weren't for the fact that Master Lingxu only had a wisp of remnant soul left, and that I didn't possess two supreme spirit refining techniques, he probably would have succeeded."

Lu Yuan looked exhausted and still felt lingering fear.

The battle of the soul is extremely dangerous, which is why his soul is so strong. Otherwise, if it were any other Nirvana prodigy, he would probably have been easily possessed by Lingxu Shangren in the blink of an eye.

"Although this trip to the secret realm was dangerous, it was worth it to capture the remnant soul of Master Lingxu alive."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes burning with intensity.

Supreme beings at the level of Void Dao experts are capable of establishing sects and becoming kings and ancestors, which is why many cultivators refer to them as Holy Lords.

Although Master Lingxu was only at the half-step Void Path level, he had cultivated for thousands of years and possessed countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals in his mind.

It can be said that the memories in his soul alone are an invaluable treasure.

If Lu Yuan can refine the soul of Master Lingxu, he can take all these cultivation techniques and secret manuals for himself.

Then his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and he will be able to reach an unimaginable height in a short period of time!

"Compared to the remnant soul of a half-step Void Dao expert, what is a mere Heavenly Mandate inheritance?"

Lu Yuan carefully put away the three-colored lotus, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"There are still more than half a month before the Lingxu Cave closes. I can take this opportunity to completely refine the soul of the Lingxu Venerable."

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan immediately sat down on the ground and once again activated the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra to slowly refine the three-colored lotus.

This precious lotus was formed from pure divine soul power.

When all its petals are tightly closed together, it looks like an alchemical furnace, imprisoning Master Lingxu inside.

What Lu Yuan needed to do was to use the Pure Lotus Heart Fire recorded in the Zen Heart Sutra to refine the soul of Master Lingxu.

According to the Zen Heart Sutra, the Pure Lotus Heart Fire can purify all things in the world, remove all distracting thoughts from the heart, and even the slightest negative emotion can be burned to ashes by the flame.

"The power of the Pure Lotus Heart Flame is terrifying. Only a high-ranking Zen monk who has successfully condensed a five-colored lotus can control this flame."

Lu Yuan carefully reviewed the records in the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he began to try to condense the Pure Lotus Heart Flame.

The Pure Lotus Heart Sutra he obtained from the Qingyun Sect was only a fragment, but it was modified and improved after being refined by his talent of "Refining the False into the True".

The Pure Lotus Heart Sutra that Lu Yuan is currently practicing is even more profound and mysterious than the original orthodox Zen text.

This technique is divided into three colors, five colors, seven colors, and nine colors according to one's attainment in terms of mental state.

The more vibrant the colors of the lotus, the higher the spiritual attainment of the practitioner and the more steadfast their resolve in the path.

Lu Yuan is currently only a three-colored lotus, which is still far from the five-colored lotus, but he has many lifetimes of cultivation experience, which is enough to make up for the gap.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two weeks, Lu Yuan has been focusing on his cultivation atop Mount Wanzhang.

At his level, he was able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his own energy, and he could go without food or water for hundreds of years without any problem.

As time went by, his understanding and mastery of the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra became increasingly profound.

He was seen deep within his soul palace.

Clusters of blazing golden flames surrounded the three-colored lotus, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.

Under the burning of golden flames.

A wisp of black smoke drifted out from inside the three-colored lotus and then dissipated into the air.

The Pure Lotus Heart Fire can purify all things in the world, while this black smoke is the negative emotions and impurities in Master Lingxu's soul.

Once all these impurities are removed, Master Lingxu will lose all consciousness and emotions, leaving only his complete memories and spiritual power! (End of Chapter)
