Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 600 The Emperor's Tree Gives Birth to a Peacock of the Ming Dynasty!
The person before me is no longer Li Luosheng.

[You already have some guesses as to why Danling chose to possess Li Luosheng's body. This holy son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect cultivates an extremely domineering demonic art, and his acupoints are perfectly refined. His physical body is probably the strongest among Yao Xia, Yue Yunqing, and the others.]

[The current situation was also within your calculations. Your preemptive attack on the physical bodies of the Yao Xia people was precisely to force Dan Ling to make an immediate choice; there was no time to wait.]

You have a vague intuition that if things drag on any longer, the situation will only become more dangerous.

[Li Luosheng slowly raised his head, rotating his wrists and knuckles, twisting his neck left and right, as if adapting to his new body.]

"Humans... truly worthy of being the race created by those exceptional individuals. Their acupoints and meridian pathways almost perfectly mimic the innate divine bodies."

He murmured, then opened his mouth and inhaled, taking in Li Luosheng's lingering primordial spirit. He chewed it gently, a hint of a smile on his face. "Though his foundation is still shallow, he harbors boundless potential... He's quite a vessel."

[As you can see from this, with a soft sigh, you realize that this once arrogant Holy Son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect has likely vanished from the world!]

The path to enlightenment is like climbing a mountain to admire its scenery, yet one must be extremely cautious, for the demise of body and the loss of the Dao can occur in the blink of an eye!

He stared intently at you, a glint of greed in his eyes: "Originally, I most wanted to possess you; the aura of your body is far more exquisite than this one!"

"What a pity..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Luosheng's aura fluctuated violently, and spiritual energy surged into his body like a tidal wave. In just two or three breaths, his cultivation level had skyrocketed to the late stage of the Dragon Court realm.

If it weren't for some kind of suppression existing in this world, he would probably have already reached the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao!

[Your brow relaxed slightly upon seeing this. It seems your prediction was correct. Even this son of the Heavenly Emperor, whose origins are truly astounding, must abide by the rules of this world.]

Seeing your gaze, Danling revealed a playful expression. "You don't actually believe that you, being at the same level as me... have any chance of survival."

"Now that I have a real body, you won't even have a chance to make a move."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Li Luosheng's face. "My Danling... in my youth, had already swept aside the geniuses of all races."

Your expression remained calm as you smiled, "Your Highness, our meeting is a timely stroke of fate."

"It is a joyous occasion that the Imperial Prince has escaped today. Let us part ways amicably..."

Before you could finish speaking, your gaze swept over the area around the Divine Tree of the Imperial House, and the swirling, multicolored halo was visibly fading away.

You suddenly looked up, your gaze passing over Li Luosheng and landing on a spot behind him—

[Another dramatic turn of events!]

[Yue Yunqing, whose primordial spirit had been trapped by the pill, suddenly regained her primordial spirit and returned to her body.]

A deep blue, shimmering light enveloped her, and she moved with lightning speed, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

[You also unleashed your sword escape technique, your speed was no slower, and you even overtook him, already arriving in front of Yue Yunqing.]

[Li Luosheng's lips curled slightly; he didn't intervene, but merely observed coldly.]

The shimmering light surrounding Yue Yunqing melted away silently, like spring snow meeting the sun, upon touching the remaining seven-colored glow.

She focused her mind once more, and a sharp, blade-like beam of light burst forth from her chest, slashing fiercely into the void, only to be effortlessly neutralized by the faint glow of the sunset.

[You also used the Five Elements Sword to transform into a millstone, unleashing the "Five Elements Annihilation" technique, but it was still negated by the radiance.]

[Li Luosheng's voice slowly drifted over: "No need to waste your energy. At this point, none of you will be able to leave this world."]

"I told you long ago, from the moment you stepped into this place, you were destined... to die."

[Yue Yunqing's figure flickered, and she reappeared beside you, her gaze fixed on Li Luosheng with scrutiny and disbelief.]

She had already learned from the side that this person, who had possessed Li Luosheng, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, had returned to the world.

Li Luosheng observed the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dharma Sect with great interest, his words tinged with amusement: "Interesting... The magic weapon in your hand can actually break through my 'Yellow Springs Rebirth'."

Everyone else has fainted, only the two of you are standing.

[You didn't even notice when Yue Yunqing awoke until the moment she made her move, only then realizing her aura had shifted. This Void Tear protective technique is truly exquisite.]

[Danling seemed to have sensed it all along, but remained completely oblivious.]

[You also moved swiftly, standing beside Yue Yunqing.]

She met your gaze silently, her eyes still clear and sharp, yet subtly carrying a hint of shared hatred.

[Yue Yunqing never expected that the disciples of their three families would now include Yao Xia, Men Luosheng, and others.]

In the end, only one little-known disciple from Fangcun Mountain remained.

【Right at this moment!】

Suddenly sensing something amiss, you turned to look and saw that the fruit on the Divine Tree, shaped like an infant, was emitting a crying sound, causing the entire tree to tremble slightly.

[Li Luosheng didn't rush to attack. His voice drifted over, "Do you know why you are destined not to leave this place today? It's because today is the day the Divine Tree of the Imperial House 'gives birth'—and also the day I am able to step out of the Divine Tree's forbidden domain."]

Yue Yunqing frowned slightly: "The divine tree is giving birth?"

[Such a strange event has never been seen in the Daoist scriptures. How could the divine tree give birth like a living being?]

After Li Luosheng possessed the body, his domineering aura gradually returned. The sinister look that once belonged to that demonic saint had vanished, replaced by an imposing and unyielding presence.

His gaze swept over the two of you, and he patiently explained, "The Emperor Tree is the sacred tree of the Langya Clan, revered as the 'elixir of immortality.' It is a divine object of heaven and earth, on par with the 'River of Oblivion' of my Huangquan Clan, and is one of the spiritual roots that existed at the beginning of time."

"The 'River of Oblivion' allows my people to be reincarnated for generations, reborn as members of the Yellow Springs Clan."

"And this Emperor Tree, besides its ability to save lives and enhance bloodlines, is most precious because—"

He paused, then slowly uttered two words:

"Enlightenment."

His next words moved even you.

"It allows one to temporarily reside within the Dao of Heaven, glimpsing the creation of the world. This is precisely the root of the Langya clan's enduring prosperity."

[A wave of disbelief washed over Yue Yunqing's eyes as she repeated in a low voice, "Entrusted to the Heavenly Dao?"]

[It should be noted that "entrusting oneself to the Heavenly Dao" is a profound realm that cultivators in this world can only briefly touch upon after passing through the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and advancing to the Supreme Grandmaster level. It allows them to sense the true essence of the Great Dao and can be considered an unparalleled opportunity.]

As for Li Luosheng's claim of "gazing upon the creation of the world," even she had never heard of it.

[As you look up, the Divine Tree of the Imperial House trembles more violently, and the cries of the seven infant fruits upon it grow ever more shrill and piercing. If an ordinary person were to witness this scene, they would likely be terrified out of their wits.]

[Li Luosheng spoke again, his voice like a deep spring: "The Emperor Tree is about to give birth, after which it will gradually wither, revert to its seedling form, and grow again. And at this moment!"]

"Now is the time to seize this immense opportunity. Simply step into its realm, and you will have the chance to temporarily reside in the Heavenly Dao and personally witness the creation of the world."

[After a moment's thought, you spoke, "Imperial Prince, I'm not interested in enlightenment; what I seek is—"] ["The seedling born after this Imperial Tree gave birth, isn't it?"]

[Li Luosheng turned around, his gaze unfathomable: "Just now, I still harbored a thought in my mind. Meeting you today is a matter of fate. Perhaps I can spare your life and refine you into a soul slave."]

"But you're just too smart, and you know too much."

"You have no choice but to die."

Your expression remained calm, and you did not utter a single word.

[The seven infant fruits had transformed into golden streams of light, merging into the trunk of the Divine Tree. The tree ceased swaying, erecting a seven-colored, swirling Dharma realm, and began to slowly contract inward.]

An irrepressible smile spread across Danling's face: "A millennium of planning has finally come to fruition today."

"Taking the Emperor's Tree as the embryo of the Dao, it ultimately forms the foundation of the supreme Dao."

You and Yue Yunqing exchanged a glance, both sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Li Luosheng.

Danling slowly turned around, her voice deep and resonant: "Do you know why I waited until now to make my move against you?"

[You remained calm and replied, "Perhaps the Imperial Prince feels that this grand plan, spanning millennia, needs an observer."]

"Otherwise, who would know of the Emperor's profound wisdom and millennia of forbearance?"

A smile played on Li Luosheng's lips: "I never imagined that someone from a lower clan could understand me so well."

"At this moment, I'm almost reluctant to kill you."

His gaze shifted between you and Yue Yunqing as he slowly said, "If you kill her, I will spare your life. What do you say?"

Yue Yunqing frowned slightly but remained silent.

You shook your head immediately. "Your Highness is joking. To live for the sake of killing is something I, Zhou Jing, cannot do."

These words were pointed and seemed to provoke Li Luosheng, who revealed a mocking expression.

"Life is so precious and important!"

"My life is heavier than Kunlun."

The Emperor Tree burst forth with seven colors once more, behind which lay a golden realm, making the place even more sacred.

Li Luosheng said no more, only uttering three words: "Let's end this."

Almost the instant his words fell, his figure vanished into thin air.

The next moment, two identical "Li Luosheng" figures appeared before you and Yue Yunqing.

Without any fancy moves, he simply extended his hand forward with the lightness of a chop to your chest, his fingertips already touching your chest.

[Without the speed to react, Yue Yunqing's left chest was pierced by Li Luosheng's palm, and her entire body was lifted into the air and slashed open!]

[The look of horror had barely appeared in Yue Yunqing's eyes before she could even react when Li Luosheng ripped her apart!]

In the blink of an eye, this holy maiden of the Supreme Dharma Sect was struck fatally before she could even muster her magical power.

Although she was on guard and her magical power was constantly circulating around her, the opponent's speed was beyond her comprehension, and death came so suddenly.

However, just as his body was torn in two, a burst of azure, shimmering light suddenly appeared, enveloping the remains and miraculously mending his flesh.

[Yue Yunqing used the momentum to retreat several feet, barely managing to escape the battle.]

Although he miraculously survived, he was severely injured and on the verge of death. His magical power was almost completely depleted; his face was ashen, his pale forehead covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't even stand, forced to kneel on the ground.

"Huh?"

[Li Luosheng let out a soft exclamation. His surprise wasn't at Yue Yunqing's secret technique of rebirth, but rather at the other side—his fatal attack on "you" had been dodged!]

[The instant he struck, you reacted in advance, taking a half-step back and barely dodging the fatal blow.]

At this moment, both figures of Li Luosheng simultaneously vanished into nothingness.

[In the same spot, Li Luosheng's true form reappeared.]

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You actually managed to evade my 'Yellow Spring Tomb Body'?"

Before the words were even finished, three more figures of Li Luosheng suddenly appeared in the void, attacking simultaneously from different directions at a speed so fast that they were almost indistinguishable in sequence.

At such close range, there's simply no time to cast a spell.

[However, you had anticipated this. Your eyes gleamed with a jade-like light, no longer concealing your intentions. This time, instead of retreating, you advanced. Lightning surged in your palm, and the "Palm Thunder - Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder" condensed fiercely, piercing through the two illusory figures in an instant.]

A fine, dense electric net of lightning had silently enveloped Li Luosheng's true form above his head!

[The instant the lightning net struck, Li Luosheng's figure blurred again, and three afterimages split from his main body, forming a triangle that surrounded you in the center.]

Two black and white dots appear around you, spinning rapidly. The black dot devours everything, while the white dot repels all magic, forming a profound force field.

Both you and Li Luosheng moved with lightning speed, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye, the lightning and the aura of the underworld clashing fiercely.

Suddenly!

Li Luosheng frowned and abruptly retreated. He could normally create three clones from any point in the void at will, and his main body could also teleport freely, but now, suppressed by the black and white force field, he could hardly perform these actions.

You did not pursue him, but stood facing him at a distance of five or six zhang.

Li Luosheng looked up at the black and white light and electricity in the sky, which had evolved into two black and white holes, and said coldly, "My 'Yellow Spring Tomb Body' is a technique of soul and space, yet your black and white Dharma Image can actually restrain it... preventing me from using it."

[The heavily injured Yue Yunqing's beautiful eyes widened, her heart trembling. She had originally thought this Fangcun Mountain disciple would be unable to hold on and would soon be defeated, but unexpectedly, not only did he not show any signs of defeat, but he was also fighting Dan Ling to a standstill.]

If it were her, faced with this elusive and mysterious body in the Yellow Springs Tomb, she would have been helpless and perished long ago.

[At this moment!]

In the next instant, three more figures of Li Luosheng appeared in the void, attacking you from three different directions!

Upon seeing this, Yue Yunqing's heart tightened.

Suddenly, a five-colored divine light emanated from your body, and with a gentle sweep like a peacock spreading its tail, the three figures vanished as if they had never existed.

Li Luosheng, on the other side, laughed, "Don't believe everything I say."

Your appearance gradually changed, revealing the true form of a young man imbued with divine power.

Li Luosheng's pupils constricted. "The Great Ming Peacock!?"
