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

Above the imperial city of Dali.

An elderly man in a black robe stood on a fiery phoenix, his hands behind his back.

He is as high as the heavens and coexists with the Tao.

His gaze was cold and indifferent, like a high and mighty god looking down on a group of mortal ants.

And below the sky.

The ruler of Dali Kingdom, along with all the civil and military officials, as well as the leaders and patriarchs from various powerful forces, all knelt on the ground in fear, too terrified to even breathe.

Because they sensed an unprecedented fear emanating from the old man.

Just like an ordinary mortal suddenly encountering a legendary ancient deity, one feels not only awe but also endless powerlessness and despair.

Faced with such an invincible and supreme existence, they dared not even raise the slightest thought of rebellion, let alone put up a fight.

Besides.

Behind the old man were several distinguished young talents.

These prodigies, with their striking features and extraordinary bearing, exuded a powerful aura, like a rising sun.

The young man in purple robes who was leading the group had deep-set eyes and a handsome face.

His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was not much weaker than that old man in black robes!
"We pay our respects to Elder Chisong and Young Master Wei Jun!"

"Your subordinate Fu Qiang failed in his duties, resulting in the unexpected death of the Third Prince. I beg the Elder to punish me."

At the front of the Great Li Dynasty's procession, the old man in red robes spoke with trepidation and a trembling voice.

Although he was a half-step Heavenly Fate Great Power, within the Divine Fire Sect, where powerful figures were numerous, he could at most only hold the position of an outer sect steward.

The Third Prince, Zhou Xun, was Chi Song's disciple by name, and his status was even higher than Chi Song's.

Now that Zhou Xun has died at Lu Yuan's hands, Fu Qiang is naturally also to blame!
"Zhou Xun is dead?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes sharpened his gaze, glanced at the King of Dali and the others, and instantly knew all the memories and secrets in their minds.

"A newly promoted true disciple of the Qingyun Sect? He can kill a Heavenly Mandate expert before he's even twenty years old?"

"I never imagined that such a small place as Dali would have such a talented genius."

After a while.

Chishong withdrew his gaze, having already gained a clear understanding of the entire matter through the memories of the Dali Kingdom's ruler and others.

An existence of his caliber doesn't need to speak to know anything; a mere sweep of his divine sense is enough to easily penetrate the deepest secrets of another's soul.

This also means.

Ordinary cultivators have absolutely no secrets or privacy in front of him!

"Young master, what do you think of this matter?"

Chishong turned to look at the purple-robed youth and asked in a low voice.

"This young man has already reached the Heavenly Fate Realm at such a young age, his talent is indeed remarkable, but the dignity of our Divine Sect cannot be challenged."

"Since he dared to kill members of my religion, he must pay the price!"

The purple-robed youth named Wei Jun spoke calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable domineering air.

"Furthermore, Fu Qiang's poor performance has disgraced our Divine Fire Sect. Therefore, he is stripped of his deacon status and ordered to atone for his crimes by being stationed in the outer regions, never to return to the sect!"

"Very well, then we will do as you suggest, young master."

Chishong nodded slightly, his words and actions showing great politeness towards the young man.

The ruler of Dali and the others were somewhat surprised to see this scene.

Because the Void Dao Saint Master possesses terrifying strength and holds a pivotal position within the Divine Fire Sect, he can decide the fate of billions of people with a single word.

Under normal circumstances.

Given Chishong's status and position, many sect prodigies would kneel before him, so how could they be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
But now it seems that Chishong and his group are following the lead of that purple-robed youth.
Doesn't this mean.

The purple-robed youth's status was even higher than Chishong's.
However, the other prodigies of the Divine Fire Sect remained quite calm about it.

After all, Wei Jun came from a very prestigious family, with the Mingdao Supreme being in charge of the clan.

Moreover, he has been exceptionally talented since childhood and has now reached the peak of his Destiny Realm. Perhaps in a few more years, he will be able to successfully enter the Void Realm, and his future is limitless.

So much so that even Akamatsu himself took him very seriously and dared not offend him easily.

"Thank you for your mercy, young master!"

Fu Qiang trembled and hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Although losing the title of deacon would drastically diminish his status, it was still better than losing his life.

Moreover, he could redeem himself during this period and perhaps have a chance to return to the sect in the future.

"Elder Chisong, the matter of the Immortal Elixir is of great importance. We must act as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Wei Jun secretly transmitted a wisp of divine thought and said quietly.

The Void Dao Saint Master rarely makes a move; once he leaves the sect, other immortal lineages will definitely receive the news immediately.

Therefore, the news of the immortal elixir cannot be kept secret for long. Other sects will find out about it sooner or later, and they must act quickly to resolve the matter.

"Young master, rest assured, I have been entrusted by Supreme Wei Qian and I will do my utmost to help you obtain that True Dragon Divine Medicine."

Akamatsu immediately assured him.

The elixir of immortality is extremely rare and hard to find.

Upon learning this news, the supreme ruler of the Wei family planned to use this medicine to help Wei Jun establish a golden foundation for his Dao, thereby elevating the strength of the Wei family to a new level.

The Wei family promised Chishong many benefits before he agreed to the matter.

"With Elder Chishong's words, I can rest assured."

Wei Jun nodded, then looked at a young man in white behind him.

"The majesty of the Divine Sect is not to be trifled with. Qi Feng, go to the Qingyun Sect and wipe out these ants."

His voice was cold and indifferent, as if to him, crushing a mere Qingyun Sect was as simple as crushing an insignificant ant.

"I obey my orders!"

Upon hearing this, the young man in white did not hesitate at all. He immediately soared into the air, transforming into a long rainbow and disappearing into the horizon.

Although this was his first time visiting the Great Li Dynasty, he was completely unfamiliar with the place.

However, with his late-stage Destiny Realm cultivation, he only needed to find two low-level cultivators to search his soul.

You can understand the history of Dali for thousands of years clearly without having to ask others for directions.

……

And the other side.

Qingyun Sect.

Inside a cave.

Looking at the yellow gourd in his hand, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face.

The yellow gourd looked rather small, only about six or seven inches tall.

The gourd's surface is smooth as a mirror, and apart from a sense of weightiness that comes with the passage of time, it looks no different from an ordinary gourd.

However, inside the gourd lies a completely different world.

More than thirty flying swords, like small fish, swam back and forth inside the gourd, appearing extremely intelligent.

These flying swords are small and exquisite, seemingly only the size of a hair, but in reality they possess extremely terrifying destructive power.

If all the flying swords were unleashed at once, even the most powerful beings would bleed!

"This sword-nurturing gourd truly lives up to its reputation; in just a few hundred years, it has nurtured dozens of flying swords."

Lu Yuan said with great delight.

Forging a flying sword is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. An ordinary sword cultivator can often only forge one natal flying sword in his entire life.

Even if some sword cultivators have extraordinary opportunities, they can only possess a few flying swords at most at the same time.

However, given sufficient resources, this sword-nurturing gourd can continuously and automatically refine flying swords, making it a supreme treasure coveted by all sword cultivators. Although the power of these flying swords may be slightly inferior to a sword cultivator's natal flying sword.

But the quantity is just too much.

If thousands of flying swords were unleashed simultaneously, even someone as powerful as the Supreme Dao Inscription would have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge!
"In addition, this book, 'The Scripture of Ten Thousand Talismans,' is also quite good. It not only has profound knowledge of the art of talismans, but also records many ancient methods of refining talismans."

"For the vast majority of talisman cultivators, this is absolutely an endless treasure trove."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

He has cultivation experience from many lifetimes. Although he has come into contact with the art of talismans, he has only scratched the surface and has only grasped a little bit of the basics. He has not deliberately studied it.

However, this book, "The Book of Ten Thousand Talismans," records everything in great detail, from the selection of materials to the making of talismans, the drawing techniques, and the usage skills.

With this scripture, Lu Yuan's talisman-making skills improved by leaps and bounds, reaching a new level.

Moreover, the various arts of cultivating immortality are profound and mysterious.

Every skill, when mastered to its fullest potential, leads to a supreme path.

While studying the Dao of Talismans, Lu Yuan was able to draw inferences from similar cases and gain a deeper understanding of the laws of this world.

But at this time.

Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened as he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rushing in from afar, rapidly approaching the Qingyun Sect.

This aura was as hot and violent as volcanic lava, like a god-king on a tour, rampaging through everything without any disguise!

"Have the powerful figures from the Divine Fire Sect arrived?"

Seeing the other party's unbridled behavior, Lu Yuan didn't even need to guess to know the identity of the young man in white.

"They really think highly of my Qingyun Sect, and actually sent a late-stage Heavenly Fate expert."

Lu Yuan sneered, put away the Sword Nurturing Gourd and the Myriad Talisman Scripture, and then took a step forward, appearing above the Qingyun Sect.

After a while.

Li Shouzhou, who was resting with his eyes closed, also had a drastic change in expression, finally realizing that a powerful enemy was approaching.

When he hurriedly soared into the sky, he found that Lu Yuan was already waiting there, as if he knew about this before him.

"Senior, you've come too?"

Compared to Li Shouzhou, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Lu Yuan appeared quite relaxed and even greeted him.

"Are these people from the Divine Fire Cult?"

Li Shouzhou frowned deeply, his mood extremely solemn.

Although he had prepared for the worst, he still felt an indescribable pressure when the powerful figures of the Divine Fire Sect arrived in person.

After all, the prestige of the Immortal Daoist lineage is known to all.

Their formidable strength has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

But the Qingyun Sect is just a secular sect, how could it possibly contend with such an unparalleled giant?

"Senior, don't worry, just leave this to me."

Lu Yuan noticed the heaviness and unease in Li Shouzhou's heart and offered words of comfort.

Just as the two of them were talking.

The young man in white arrived in the blink of an eye, appearing before Lu Yuan and his companion almost instantly.

"So you're Lu Yuan? You can remain calm even when facing a powerful figure from my Divine Sect. You're quite capable."

"It's a pity that you shouldn't have, and most importantly, made an enemy of my religion."

"Should I do it, or will you commit suicide?"

The young man in white carefully examined Lu Yuan for a moment, then threw a long sword in front of him and said expressionlessly.

As for Li Shouzhou, who was standing next to Lu Yuan, he was completely ignored.

There is a considerable gap between those who are destined for greatness.

The young man in white was at the late stage of the Heavenly Mandate realm and came from an immortal lineage like the Divine Fire Sect.

Whether in terms of strength or the cultivation techniques he practices, he is far superior to these worldly prodigies.

If Lu Yuan is still worth a second glance.

Li Shouzhou, a useless person whose vital energy and potential are exhausted, is not even qualified to have a conversation with him.

“Fellow Daoist, this matter was caused by Zhou Xun making the first move. Lu Yuan was only protecting himself. What wrong has he done?”

"Does the Immortal Dao lineage always act in such a domineering manner as you do?"

Li Shouzhou couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but speak up in defense of Lu Yuan.

But the young man in white didn't even bother to look at him, he just snorted coldly and casually struck out with his palm.

"How dare you, a mere ant, presume to discuss the affairs of my religion?"

The voice just fell.

An unparalleled and terrifying pressure, like a tidal wave, crushed down on Li Shouzhou.

Under the suppression of this powerful force.

Li Shouzhou felt as if he had been banished by heaven and earth, stripped of all his power, and instantly transformed from a powerful being into a mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken.

He could only stand there, watching helplessly as a spiritual handprint descended from the sky, powerless to resist.

This is the terrifying combat power of the Divine Cult's prodigies.

In the blink of an eye, one can command the laws of heaven and earth and strip other powerful beings of their destiny.

Faced with such miraculous methods, any resistance or struggle seems extremely futile.

Moreover, the difference in their cultivation techniques is too great.

Even if Li Shouzhou was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Fate realm, or even if he were at the late stage of the Heavenly Fate realm like the white-robed youth, it would only take one move.

Just as the powerful spiritual handprint was about to fall heavily, about to turn Li Shouzhou into a pulp.

Lu Yuan's figure blurred, and he appeared in front of Li Shouzhuo.

Since the Divine Fire Sect is so aggressive, it's no wonder he's ruthless.

"town!"

He drew talismans in the air with one hand, and blue light surged from his fingertips, tracing mysterious paths in the air.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

A talisman shot out and landed on the surface of the large spiritual handprint.

"boom!"

The massive handprint, which was originally terrifyingly powerful, like a mountain pressing down, now seemed to be frozen.

It froze in mid-air, unable to fall even half an inch further!

"Grandmaster of Talismanic Arts?"

The white-robed youth's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected that someone in this tiny place would possess such a high level of mastery of talismans.

Although his palm strike was just a casual slap, using only a third of his strength, it was still something that an ordinary expert with the destiny of heaven could not withstand.

Lu Yuan effortlessly blocked his attack.

This shows that he has a very deep understanding of talismanic arts, and is no less skilled than the talismanic arts masters within the Divine Fire Sect.

"I never expected that I would misjudge him."

The young man in white was somewhat surprised by Lu Yuan's talent in talismanic arts. After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind.

“Young Master Wei Jun has always valued talent. You are so young yet you have such mastery of talismans. You may very well achieve great things in the future.”

"If you can sincerely repent, kill this old man, personally destroy this sect, and sever all ties with the secular world."

"Perhaps I can put in a good word for you with Young Master Wei Jun and spare your life!" (End of Chapter)
