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

Inside the Qingyun Sect.

They learned the good news that Li Shouzhou and his companions had returned in triumph.

All the disciples excitedly spread the news, eager to tell everyone.

However, looking at his overjoyed disciples, a barely perceptible worry flashed in Li Shouzhou's eyes.

"Is the elder perhaps worried about the Divine Fire Sect?"

Lu Yuan, observing Li Shouzhou's expression, immediately understood what he was thinking and quietly transmitted his thoughts.

"Indeed, in today's battle, although we successfully dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Great Li Dynasty, we have also become a thorn in the side of the Great Li royal family."

"Moreover, Void Dao experts have already attained divine understanding of Dao techniques. If the Divine Fire Sect were to investigate, it would be far beyond what I could handle."

Li Shouzhou shook his head, looking helpless.

The Void Path experts are incredibly powerful, possessing earth-shattering strength; a single person can destroy a secular dynasty.

Compared to beings of this level, powerful beings destined for heaven are as vulnerable as mayflies and pose little threat.

"Elder, there's no need to worry. Things will work themselves out. With the various sects currently vying for power, the Divine Fire Sect probably won't dare to go too far."

Lu Yuan comforted him.

However, he also knew that it was unrealistic to place his hopes on the pity of others.

In the end.

This world is still a dog-eat-dog world, where strength reigns supreme.

Only when one's own strength is sufficient can one have a true voice!
“What you say is right, young friend. The struggle between the various Daoist lineages has reached a fever pitch. They would never go to war for the sake of the mere Dali Dynasty.”

"Moreover, the Xuanling Domain is vast and has many sects. If the Divine Fire Sect goes too far, the other sects will not stand idly by."

Li Shouzhou smiled wryly.

Now that things have come to this, he can only take it one step at a time.

If there is really no other way out, the only option is to rely on other traditions.

"Elder, we must nip this in the bud. Although the Great Ancestor of Dali is dead, the Tai Xuan Sect still exists. We must finish this quickly."

Lu Yuan changed the subject and gave a timely reminder.

The Tai Xuan Sect and the Qing Yun Sect have a deep-seated blood feud, a situation that is irreconcilable.

During the inner sect competition back then.

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect, accompanied by Dong Baocai, personally visited Han Qingxuan's home, disregarding all decorum and bullying the weak, forcibly demanding that Han hand over Lu Yuan.

If Han Qingxuan hadn't withstood the pressure and preferred to go to war with the Tai Xuan Sect rather than hand over Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan would probably have already suffered a terrible fate at the hands of the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch.

Lu Yuan has always kept this score in mind, and now it's time to settle his score with the Tai Xuan Sect!

Li Shouzhou was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what he meant.

“What you say is absolutely right, young friend. If the Tai Xuan Sect is not eliminated, it will become a major threat sooner or later.”

As a powerful being destined by Heaven, he was well aware of just how terrifying the destructive power of this realm truly was.

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect was at the half-step Heavenly Fate realm, only half a step away from the Heavenly Fate realm.

If the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch were to reach the Heavenly Fate Realm one day, the Qingyun Sect would surely face annihilation.

Therefore, rather than being sentimental, it is better to take the initiative and eliminate the threat of the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch immediately.

"The Tai Xuan Sect is our sect's mortal enemy. Are you all willing to fight alongside me?"

After making up his mind, Li Shouzhou immediately turned to the other elders and disciples and asked loudly.

"We are willing to go with the elder!"

All the elders and disciples roared at the top of their lungs, wishing they could raze the Tai Xuan Sect to the ground immediately.

Because hundreds of years ago, the relationship between Tai Xuan Sect and Qing Yun Sect was extremely hostile.

Once the disciples of the two sects meet, they will fight to the death.

Many of the Qingyun Sect disciples' family members, friends, or masters, like Lu Yuan's parents, died at the hands of the Tai Xuan Sect.

It can be said that the Qingyun Sect disciples' hatred for the Taixuan Sect even surpasses that for the Dali Dynasty.

However, the Tai Xuan Sect was so powerful that even Han Qingxuan dared not offend them.

Over the years, they could only swallow their anger and bury this deep-seated hatred in their hearts.

until today.

They finally saw a chance to get revenge, so how could they not be excited?
"Fine, the Tai Xuan Sect has gone too far! Today is the day of their destruction!"

Li Shouzhou nodded slightly.

In fact.

As a powerful being destined by Heaven, he could easily crush the Tai Xuan Sect on his own.

However, the reason he went to the extra trouble of bringing all his disciples into battle was to take this opportunity to strengthen the cohesion of the sect.

Followed by.

He waved his hand.

A beam of spiritual light shot out, rapidly enlarging in mid-air before transforming into a thousand-foot-long spiritual boat that landed steadily on the ground.

Upon seeing this, all the elders and disciples soared into the sky, transforming into streaks of light, and quickly boarded the spirit boat.

"Let's set off too."

After everyone boarded the spirit boat, Li Shouzhou turned to look at Lu Yuan and Han Qingxuan and said.

Lu Yuan nodded and boarded the spirit boat with Han Qingxuan.

Although the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch was only a half-step Heavenly Mandate Great Power and did not have the blessing of the imperial dynasty, his strength was far inferior to that of the Great Li Patriarch.

If other factors are not taken into account, Li Shouzhou alone could crush the entire Tai Xuan Sect.

But when a lion fights a rabbit, it also uses all its strength.

This is a war to wipe out the entire family; we must eliminate them completely and not let anyone escape.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yuan felt it would be better to go to Tai Xuan Sect with Li Shouzhou.

"rise!"

With a slight thought, Li Shouzhou activated the flight formation.

The flying spirit boat slowly rose into the air, transforming into a streak of light and rapidly heading towards the direction of the Tai Xuan Sect.

the other side.

Deep in a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away from the Qingyun Sect, a magnificent and splendid building stands proudly atop the mountain peaks.

These pavilions and palaces are built against the mountain, with magnificent and exquisite designs. They are shrouded in clouds and mist and surrounded by cranes, making them look like a fairyland on earth.

And this is precisely where the Tai Xuan Sect's mountain gate is located!
Many seekers from all directions are striving to climb the rugged mountain path to the summit.

The mountain path was steep, without steps, and covered with thorns, making it difficult even for many agile monkeys to pass.

Moreover, from time to time, fierce roars of beasts could be heard from the mountains and dense forests.

The Tai Xuan Mountains are rugged and treacherous, and wild animals roam freely.

If they are unlucky, these people may perish in the bellies of wild animals before they even reach the summit.

But those seeking the truth did not give up; instead, they came in droves, forming a long line as they vied to climb to the summit.

According to the rules of the Tai Xuan Sect, as long as they can climb to the top of the mountain, they are qualified to become outer disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect.

This is true for ordinary people who come from poor backgrounds.

Becoming a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect is tantamount to passing the imperial examination in one fell swoop, and it can absolutely change one's destiny. Therefore, even if the ground is full of thorns and ferocious beasts roam freely.

Undeterred by the difficulties, they all exerted all their strength to climb towards the summit.

However, if they could get around to the other side of the mountain, they would make an unexpected discovery.

Because the scenery on the other side of the mountain is completely different from this place.

The road was paved with jade and paved with gold and silver, and even servants and disciples personally came to greet them.

Those who came and went were all rich and noble, and the road they traveled was smooth and easy. They did not need to risk their lives to climb the mountain like those poor disciples.

At the mountain's summit, amidst the clouds, two outer sect elders dressed in black robes watched the mortals struggling to climb upwards, a hint of mockery appearing on their faces.

"These ants are really incredibly resilient; they're still dreaming of joining the immortal sect."

"A bunch of ignorant peasants, of lowly birth, yet they dare to try to change their fate; they deserve to become food for ferocious beasts!"

"Although these ants are ungrateful, their corpses can feed the ferocious beasts and their souls can nourish the Yin Soul Fruit, which is a win-win situation and saves us a lot of trouble."

The two outer sect elders sneered, their tone utterly indifferent.

As if in their eyes.

These mortals seeking immortality are as lowly as ants, not worthy of their attention.

But at that moment, a powerful divine thought suddenly came from inside the sect's main hall.

After the two outer sect elders received the information contained in this divine thought, their expressions immediately turned solemn.

"After the defeat of the Great Li Dynasty, the Ancestor has decided to take a gamble and forcefully attempt to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm?"

"To increase the chances of a successful breakthrough, the Ancestor needs a large amount of living souls and blood to refine the Blood Soul Pill?"

The two men did not hesitate at all after receiving the order.

He immediately unleashed his magical artifacts and ruthlessly slaughtered those mortals.

But this amount of living souls was nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Therefore, the elders of the Tai Xuan Sect who received this order all turned their attention to the places where mortals gathered.

For a while.

Within a radius of a thousand miles.

All the villages and towns in the mortal world were plunged into bloodshed!
Before thousands of ordinary people knew what was happening, they saw a sharp sword light descend from the sky.

Then their bodies exploded with a bang, slashed into a rain of blood, their heads separated from their bodies, dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief!
A blood-red light, solidified to the point of being, shot into the sky, turning the heavens crimson.

Drawn by some force, the blood and souls converged like a stream, rushing towards the Tai Xuan Sect.

But it didn't take long.

Then a light boat came rushing in from afar and entered the territory of the Tai Xuan Sect.

"These lunatics from the Tai Xuan Sect are actually slaughtering mortals on a large scale?"

When Li Shouzhou saw this horrific scene, even with his usually unassuming nature, an uncontrollable and intense killing intent rose within him.

Although the cultivation world emphasizes the survival of the fittest and the principle of "the victor is king, the loser is villain," it rarely involves innocent people.

For a sect like Tai Xuan Sect to attack unarmed mortals for their own selfish gain, what difference is there between them and beasts?
"The Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch is so ruthless that he must have already learned of the death of the Great Li Patriarch, and therefore wants to take this opportunity to force a breakthrough."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, immediately guessing what the Tai Xuan Sect patriarch was thinking.

The Great Ancestor of Dali possessed profound cultivation and reigned over the world for hundreds of years. How glorious he was back then!
But now he died so suddenly, without even leaving a complete body. This incident has clearly greatly shocked the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Therefore, in order to survive, he would stop at nothing to force his way into the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Otherwise, the Great Ancestor would suffer the same fate as him!

Besides, it's better to die for a fellow Daoist than for this humble one.

What does it matter to slaughter some mortals when faced with the threat of death?
at the same time.

It seemed that the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect had already sensed the arrival of Li Shouzhuo and the others, and the speed at which he absorbed living souls suddenly increased by more than tenfold.

"boom!"

At the top of Tai Xuan Peak, a blood-red pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, sweeping in all directions and slowly forming a blood-red vortex in the air.

The vortex spun rapidly, stirring up the heavens and earth, and transmitting an extremely terrifying devouring power.

When this beam of light appears.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, whether ordinary people or birds and beasts, everyone felt as if their blood and energy were out of control and instantly left their bodies.

In an instant, all of them were drained of their vitality and life force, turning into skeletons.

to the end.

Even the disciples and elders of the Tai Xuan Sect who acted as accomplices to the evil were not able to escape this calamity, and their cultivation and vitality were completely swallowed up by the blood-red vortex.

Thus, it became nourishment for the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch's breakthrough!
"Is this the Blood Spirit Soul-Snatching Formation of the Evil Spirit Sect?"

Li Shouzhou was shocked and immediately recognized the origin of the blood-red vortex.

Like the Divine Fire Sect and the Blissful Divine Sect, the Evil Spirit Sect is a supreme lineage in this world.

If we say that the Divine Fire Cult and the Blissful Divine Cult, despite their arrogant and domineering behavior, at least still have certain principles and bottom lines.

Then the Evil Spirit Sect is an out-and-out demonic sect, whose disciples are bloodthirsty and murderous, and everyone takes pleasure in harming the dead.

For the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect.

Slow-death torture, live dismemberment, skinning, and the creation of mounds of corpses were merely appetizers.

Their reason for practicing cultivation is to pursue the ultimate in brutality and slaughter.

They are willing to pay any price for this, even sacrificing their own lives!

This Blood Spirit Soul-Seizing Array is a demonic technique widely known in the Evil Spirit Sect.

This formation allows one to instantly increase their strength by sacrificing large amounts of blood and souls.

The more souls sacrificed, the greater the power gained.

It is said that a powerful figure from the Evil Spirit Sect once plotted for hundreds of years to set up a giant Blood Spirit Soul-Stealing Array in a secular dynasty.

He ultimately sacrificed all the living beings of the dynasty, thus stepping into the realm of the Void Path.

The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect clearly knew he was no match for Li Shouzhuo, so he tried to force a breakthrough through this method.

"The patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect is about to break through; we're still a step too late."

Li Shouzhou's expression changed slightly.

As the crimson vortex devoured a large number of living souls and blood, the aura emanating from the depths of Tai Xuan Peak became increasingly powerful.

At this rate, it's likely that in just a few more breaths, the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect will be able to successfully enter the Heavenly Fate Realm.

"Are we powerless to stop him and can only watch him break through?"

The other Qingyun Sect elders were filled with unease and couldn't help but ask.

"It's too late. When a Heavenly Mandate expert breaks through, their soul will merge with heaven and earth, temporarily entering a state of oneness with the universe."

"Under these circumstances, any attack from the outside world will be seen as a challenge to the laws of heaven and earth and will be severely suppressed."

"If we make a move now, not only will we be unable to harm the Tai Xuan Sect's patriarch, but we will also bring about our own demise."

Li Shouzhou shook his head and said in a serious tone.

Having experienced the unity of heaven and man, he naturally understood how insignificant individual power was in the face of the laws of heaven and earth.

The current patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect is at a critical moment of breakthrough.

Even if a Void Realm expert were to arrive, let alone the people from the Qingyun Sect, they wouldn't be able to interrupt this process! (End of Chapter)
