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

Chapter 602: The option "My foolish younger brother!" is triggered again!

[In your palm lies the Demon-Slaying Thunder Technique from the "Essential Techniques of Great Peace," which, under the enhancement of the peach wood sword formed from a piece of innate Ren water peach wood, has surged in power, reaching a peak you've never touched before.]

[It also unlocked the six realms of magical power that had been sealed, and the Taiyuan Yiyang Sword was pushed to its limit.]

Black holes and white holes almost occupy half of the sky in this colorful realm.

Looking down, you see a large, vermilion gate held in the mouth of the red-haired demon summoned by Li Luosheng; it looks vaguely familiar.

[Isn't that the Ghost-Swallowing Child, the ghostly creature under the command of the Eternal Emperor that I saw in the State of Chen?]

[This is actually able to summon the spirit of the Yellow Springs Clan!]

[This son of the Heavenly Emperor is indeed the strongest person you have encountered at the same level so far, but he is far from being invincible!]

Perhaps, as Danling said, he was ultimately a possessed body, unable to bear his original strength.

Your gaze shifts, and you notice the Imperial Tree gradually shrinking, transforming into a golden sapling.

Danling abruptly stopped, clearly having noticed the change in events.

With all eight arms outstretched, he saw that the divine lightning in your hand remained unreleased and said in a deep voice, "You can leave now. Leave your name."

"From now on, you and I will live separate lives!"

You chuckled softly: "Imperial Prince, if your skills end here, I wouldn't mind... personally slaying a son of the Heavenly Emperor."

"To kill me?!"

[Dan Ling's face showed a mocking expression: "With such low cultivation, you don't even have the qualifications to see me."]

Before the words were even finished, lightning surged, and purple thunderclouds gathered and swirled behind you.

"It seems the Imperial Prince... still hasn't grasped the situation. Today is not the ancient era. In a battle between equals, Imperial Prince, do you truly believe you can defeat me?"

Li Luosheng's face was ashen, but he remained silent.

[A long silence followed.]

He slowly raised his head to look at you, and murmured to himself, "Truly strange... This world is clearly in the midst of the Dharma's decline, how could such a seed of the Dao as you have been born?"

[Watching you so calmly deal with this ancient imperial prince who regarded them as ants, Yue Yunqing felt as if she were in a dream.]

Li Luosheng suddenly spoke again, "You are qualified to state your name."

You replied with a smile, "Fangcun Mountain, Jing Haoren."

[Yue Yunqing silently recited "Fangcun Shanjing Haoren" in her heart, but after searching her memory, she had never heard of such a person. There was no record of him on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.]

Li Luosheng turned to look at the Imperial Tree, which had shrunk to half a foot in height not far away, his gaze becoming serious.

He suddenly tore open the space beside him, and a long, scarlet tongue emerged from a deep crevice, slowly pushing out three golden fruits shaped like infants.

A hint of deep regret flashed across his face. "These are the fruits of the Divine Tree of the Imperial House. I originally had three, and today I give them all to you..."

The meaning is self-evident.

You shook your head: "Your Highness, the Divine Tree of the Imperial House is right before our eyes. Do you think you can dismiss me with just a few fruits?"

"Moreover, the Imperial Prince has lingered in the Langya Heavenly Realm for countless years; does he truly only possess three divine fruits?"

Li Luosheng's expression suddenly darkened: "You inferior race, do you know that this Divine Tree of the Imperial House is a spiritual root of heaven and earth, only able to blossom and bear fruit every tens of thousands of years! That white python followed me for many years, yet it only received one tree as a gift."

"You're still not satisfied!"

You smiled calmly: "The imperial prince should understand the difference between 'fishing' and 'fish.' Between the divine tree and its fruit, which is more important? Am I a three-year-old child?"

[A murderous glint flashed in Li Luosheng's eyes: "You really think... I can't kill you?"]

[With a slight thought, the black and white Dharma image behind you slowly rotated again, and the already gathered thunderclouds descended further, causing the world to become solemn and desolate.]

Li Luosheng suddenly coughed, his tone softening abruptly: "...Here are three more for you!"

"Your Highness, since we can't reach an agreement, let's settle this with a fight."

Li Luosheng's gaze swept back and forth between the Divine Tree of the Imperial House and the lightning in your hand, his brows furrowed, and finally he said in a deep voice, "At most... eight fruits in total!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Luosheng's hand gestures changed swiftly, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and another towering statue burst forth from the earth, its divine might awe-inspiring. "If you want to fight, then fight!"

Without further hesitation, lightning surged in your palm, transforming into a wandering thunder dragon. "I, Jing, do not wish to fight the Emperor's son, but the Emperor's son's actions have put me in a difficult position!"

"It seems that the Divine Tree of the Imperial House and the Imperial Prince are destined to be apart?"

[Yue Yunqing looked tense, holding her breath, seeing that the negotiations between the two sides had broken down and a major battle was imminent.]

A voice rang out quickly, "Jing Haoren, how about this? I'll take the sapling after the divine tree gave birth. This is an opportunity for enlightenment, a glimpse into the creation of the world, an opportunity entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. You take it, what do you say?"

[Danling gazes intently at you, and facing this matter, she decides...]

1. Suppress Danling and obtain the Divine Tree. (Hint: You will encounter danger.)
2. Agree to Danling's conditions. (Hint: You may encounter danger.)
3. Disagree with Danling's conditions. (Hint: This may be detrimental to the future.)
4. If you disagree with Danling's conditions, you need ten fruits from the Imperial Tree and must leave this place immediately. (This may be beneficial for the future.)
5. Predict the next possible scenario. (0/2)

6. Participate personally. (0/3)

The great cauldron resounded with a thunderous clang, emitting a dazzling radiance, and the inscription on it slowly froze.

Yu Ke looked at the six options above and pondered for a while.

Could it be that the pill spirit has set up a scheme, or is there going to be further changes?

Yu Ke didn't hesitate and made his choice directly.

4. If you disagree with Danling's conditions, you need ten fruits from the Imperial Tree and must leave this place immediately. (This may be beneficial for the future.)
You spoke softly: "Your Highness, I only need ten divine fruits. As for the opportunity to attain enlightenment, perhaps it was never meant for me."

[A glint flashed in Li Luosheng's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "...I can give you a maximum of nine."]

"Then there's no need to discuss it further."

Li Luosheng gritted his teeth and finally agreed, "...Okay!"

[Yue Yunqing looked astonished. The thunderclouds suddenly dissipated, and the red-haired demon vanished without a trace.]

Both are decisive individuals, acting without hesitation or delay!

[Li Luosheng waved his hand, opening a spatial rift. His scarlet tongue extended once more, and ten golden fruits, shaped like infants, slowly floated before you.]

Upon seeing this, you exclaimed in admiration, "Your Highness, this spatial storage technique is truly wondrous; it must be a treasured technique of the Yellow Springs Clan."

Li Luosheng remained silent, his face grim.

[You don't care, you only earned ten Divine Fruits of the Imperial House, it's only fair.]

[Knowing full well that this item is averse to contact with the Five Elements, you immediately took out the treasure box bestowed upon you by the sect leader and stored it away, making the most of it.]

Seeing the ten Imperial Divine Fruits safely placed in the box, you smiled and said, "Congratulations, Imperial Prince, your wish has come true."

Li Luosheng let out a heavy snort, his face finally unable to conceal the pain he felt.

A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "How do you know... I have exactly ten?"

"Just a guess."

Li Luosheng turned around and looked at the divine tree, which had shrunk to the size of a palm. His expression softened slightly.

He reached out and gently grasped the sapling of the Imperial Tree; its entire body was like cast gold, its crown resembling a flowing cloud, shimmering and glowing.

[A look of fascination appeared on Li Luosheng's face: "The divine artifact of the Langya clan... ultimately belongs to my Huangquan."]

[Your gaze flickered slightly. As Danling took the seedling, the surrounding multicolored light dissipated, clearly indicating that the restriction on this place had been lifted and a way out had appeared.]

Out of the corner of your eye, you glance at the ground and see that the people from Fangcun Mountain and the other three cultivators are still unconscious.

[You flicked a wisp of gentle magic with your finger, lightly brushing it across the crowd, enough to awaken them, and then you didn't linger.] [You suddenly unleashed your sword escape technique, your figure flashing through the air like a streak of light, disappearing in an instant.]

[Yue Yunqing had already sensed it when the seven-colored glow dissipated, and almost simultaneously took to the air, speeding away.]

Li Luosheng was completely focused on absorbing the Imperial Tree into his body, his magical power surging within him. He merely glanced coldly at Yue Yunqing's departure and the gradual awakening of the others, offering no resistance whatsoever.

He gazed in the direction you had left, and coldly whispered, "Once I have merged with the Divine Tree of Emperor's House and forged an unparalleled foundation, I will return to find you!"

"Those ten divine fruits... I will temporarily keep them with you. When I come in person, I will retrieve them along with your primordial spirit."

Having said that, Li Luosheng composed himself, his body enveloped in layers of multicolored light, resembling a giant cocoon shimmering with light.

You flew swiftly through the air, and in the blink of an eye, you arrived at the Heavenly Chains you had come from.

Looking back, a sudden, inexplicable unease welled up inside me.

【"boom--!"】

A deafening roar erupted behind you. You whirled around to see a raging inferno erupting from where the Imperial Tree had stood, illuminating the sky like a shattered sun.

The entire Langya Heavenly Realm trembled violently, the earth shook, and mountains shuddered, as if a dragon were turning over in the ground.

Without hesitation, you leaped down the golden chains, instantly landing back in the herb garden.

Upon landing, looking up, they saw that the Langya Heavenly Realm, which had been floating above the medicine garden, was slowly sinking like an island.

Your brows were furrowed, and a deep, serious look flickered in your eyes.

A figure flew out from the collapsing Heavenly Realm; it was Yue Yunqing.

The Langya Heavenly Realm crashed down, countless fragments falling like meteors into the herb garden, instantly igniting a continuous mountain fire.

Your gaze searched the air for any trace of the Imperial Prince Danling, but you could not find him.

[A moment later—]

[A dozen or so more figures fled in disarray from the ruins of Langya Heavenly Realm.]

Before you could even discern the details, a horrifying scene suddenly appeared before your eyes:

At the end of those golden chains, a ferocious and terrifying behemoth was crashing down from the depths of the collapsing Heavenly Realm!

[The monster was the size of a mountain, had nine heads with faces like a woman, a body like a giant tiger, and roared like the low moo of a wild bull.]

The golden chains were still wrapped around its limbs, but it broke them off inch by inch.

[Now you understand, the golden chains leading to Langya Heavenly Realm were actually meant to restrain this beast?]

However, there was no time to ponder this matter, and he said with some seriousness, "The Golden Core Realm of the Great Dao!"

This beast actually broke through the constraints of the rules of this world and advanced to the Golden Core realm of the Great Dao.

[How is this possible!? ]

Even the Heavenly Emperor's youngest son, Danling, failed to reach such a level here.

The strange beast suddenly broke free from all the golden chains binding it, completely escaping its restraints!

It roared to the sky, and invisible sound waves swept outwards like a tidal wave, making even you feel a buzzing in your ears and your blood surging.

This is the strength of the Golden Core Realm of the Great Dao, far beyond what the Dragon Court Realm can achieve.

[You already have some guesses about the origin of this beast. According to the Daoist canon, there is a beast named "Kaiming," with nine heads and a tiger's body, who is the guardian deity of Kunlun Mountain.]

[There is another guardian beast in Kunlun Mountain, named Lu Wu.]

[But this is not Kunlun, but the medicinal garden in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury... Why would this beast appear here?]

According to records, Mount Kunlun was the site of a female immortal's Daoist practice in ancient times.

Ancient times, medieval times, primordial times... the ages are a jumbled mess, and even you would find it difficult to unravel their origins.

But now that the Enlightened Beast has appeared, its killing intent palpable, it is clearly here to slaughter all living beings in this place.

It kept lowering its head to sniff, and occasionally tilting its ear to listen, as if searching for something.

【"roar--!"】

The colossal beast suddenly activated, its human head and tiger body carrying the force of wind and thunder, charging straight towards your location!

~

Within the Langya Heavenly Realm.

Qi Ling and the others slowly woke up, looked around, and were all shocked.

After being knocked unconscious by the white python, he had no idea what had happened.

Everyone looked back at the scene and saw only a human-shaped cocoon of light, enveloped in layers of seven-colored glow, floating silently in place.

Where can one still find the Diwu Sacred Tree?
The black and white pythons have long since disappeared.

The crowd looked at each other, completely bewildered.

The disciples of the Blood Sea Demon Sect were horrified to discover that their leader, the Holy Son, had vanished without a trace.

The disciples of the Supreme Dharma Sect also noticed that Yue Yunqing had disappeared.

Yuan Shujian whispered, "Junior Brother Zhou Jing... is gone too!"

Everyone looked around.

The scene was one of devastation, with huge craters and cracks all over the ground, as if a fierce battle had taken place there.

Finally, all eyes fell on the most eye-catching seven-colored cocoon in the arena.

Ignoring everyone, Qi Ling immediately summoned her magical artifact and transformed into a streak of light, speeding away.

Seeing this, Sun Miao did not hesitate and led the Fangcun Mountain people to follow closely behind, quickly retreating.

Yao Xia also turned and left with the disciples of the Longquan Sword Sect.

The remaining disciples of the two factions were filled with panic when they saw that their holy sons and daughters had disappeared.

Then someone stepped forward and led the crowd away from this troublesome place.

Everyone left, and the arena fell silent once more!
Only the seven-colored cocoon floated silently.

Inside the cocoon of light.

Li Luosheng was completely absorbed, feeling the Imperial Tree slowly merging into his body.

"This is the power of the Langya clan... a treasure that even my father coveted back then."

"The path of cultivation that Father was unable to complete, I, Danling, shall inherit!"

His voice trembled, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

Sudden--

Li Luosheng's voice stopped abruptly, his face showing extreme shock and disbelief, his eyes wide open as if he had witnessed something impossible.

At this moment, a calm and profound voice emanated from the Divine Tree of the Imperial House in his dantian:

“My foolish brother…”
