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

Chapter 609 Yun Zhongjun Enters the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm, Huanghua Temple!
Xu Wuji stared coldly at Xiahou Li, who had once again mustered his magical power, his voice completely calm: "I didn't kill you just now."

"You're really courting death!"

Xiahou Li's face was ashen. The previous exchange had already instilled fear in him, and now he felt that his opponent's aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

On the other side, the sea of ​​blood behind Li Luosheng was no longer what it had been before. The towering waves of blood had transformed into a majestic palace, within which countless souls floated and lingered, as if forming a separate, dark world.

This scene caused Cao An of Ziyang Academy to shrink his pupils in shock—to control the sea of ​​blood to such a precise degree was almost a divine skill.

When did Li Luosheng's cultivation level improve to this extent?

Gu Yu's expression was equally solemn. This Holy Son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect was probably even more troublesome than he had imagined.

[Xu Wuji's eyes gleamed with excitement: "I thought this trip would only involve meeting Tianjingxu and the superior man."]

"I didn't expect that you, Li Luosheng, would be worth a fight."

His body was enveloped in magical power, radiating a dazzling array of five-colored light. His aura suddenly became lofty and boundless, as if the Dao itself had descended to earth, devoid of emotion or desire.

"The Scripture of the Revolving Wheel of the Five Innate Virtues!"

This is the supreme martial art of the Dao Ling Sect, and also the method practiced by the Nine Yang True Man.

Li Luosheng turned to face Xu Wuji and said slowly, "He integrated the Five Elements into himself, refined the Five Qi within his chest, and generated the Five Virtues... No wonder he could seal people's meridians. It seems he also possesses other extraordinary abilities—truly a marvelous idea."

His voice wasn't loud, yet it caused Xu Wuji to freeze in shock. His previous listless and listless demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a piercing light in his eyes, sharp as swords.

"You can tell?"

Li Luosheng chuckled softly, "Why ask so many questions of a dying man?"

The sea of ​​blood behind him surged once more, and from within the waves emerged a phantom of a divine son chariot traversing the heavens, majestic and unapproachable, as if he held the reins of power over the world.

[Cao An, who had just been intimidated by the evil magic, hurriedly activated the "Sage Scripture" of the Ziyang Academy to protect himself with his righteous energy.]

Instead of retreating, Xu Wuji advanced, his figure blurring as he closed in on Li Luosheng.

Just as he was about to touch the other's clothes, Xu Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly pulled back.

[Li Luosheng's lips curled into a slight smile, while the sea of ​​blood behind him churned even more violently.]

For a moment, Li Luosheng alone intimidated everyone from the Dao Ling Sect and the Zi Yang Academy.

Even Xu Wuji showed a cautious expression.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingyun revealed an expression of disbelief. It seemed that after the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault, this Holy Son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect's ranking on the Dragon and Tiger List would be no less than Xu Wuji's.

[You see that the method Danling is currently using, the Blood Sea technique, is merely a cover; its true essence is still the Yellow Springs Technique.]

At that moment, Li Luosheng began to recite leisurely, his voice seeming to rise from the depths of the netherworld:

"Bathing in fragrant orchid-scented water, adorned in splendid robes, riding a dragon in imperial attire, the majestic spirit descends, soaring far into the clouds..."

"Having surveyed the lands of Ji, I find there is more to see; traversing the four seas, I know no bounds."

As he chanted, the surrounding scenery abruptly changed, as if a dream had descended. A colossal, incomparably tall phantom of a divine son appeared, his body radiant, vying with the sun and moon in brilliance. He rode a dragon chariot, wore imperial robes, soared through the four corners of the earth, surveying the heavens and surveying the world; his divine might was like a prison, pervading the eight wastelands.

The illusory figure of the divine son, towering like a mountain, suddenly appeared between the crowd, its vast divine might pressing down.

Cao An's magical power surged violently, and his originally harmonious and tranquil Confucian sage-like body shattered instantly. The Confucian scroll he summoned as a magical treasure also split in two.

An irresistible force surged down from the top of his head, forcing Cao An's knees to buckle and nearly causing him to kneel. He suddenly roared, spitting out blood, using this momentary pain to forcefully maintain his mental clarity.

Gu Yu also trembled violently, his body involuntarily wanting to prostrate himself in worship, and he could only frantically circulate his magic power to resist it.

The disciples of the two sects with lower cultivation levels were already prostrate on the ground, kneeling devoutly before the illusory image of the divine child.

[And the moment they lost their composure and knelt down, their lives were no longer in their own hands.]

[With a mere thought, Li Luosheng could have caused everyone to commit suicide here.]

The remaining people gritted their teeth, desperately resisting this overwhelming force originating from the depths of their souls.

[Xu Wuji was surrounded by a flowing, five-colored glow, which rotated and remained focused, effectively isolating him from the overwhelming divine power and leaving him completely unaffected.]

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his body radiating a dazzling golden light. He seemed to have entered a state of clarity, merging with heaven and earth, and slowly said,

"Great indeed is the Qian Yuan, the origin of all things, which governs the heavens. Clouds move and rain falls, and all things take shape. The great light shines from beginning to end, and the six positions are established in due time. At that time, one rides the six dragons to rule the heavens."

"And from this, all things sprout and grow, and all nations enjoy peace."

As soon as the words were spoken, the weather changed. Like a spring breeze rising from nowhere, it dispersed the illusion and cleansed away the divine power.

The majestic phantom of the divine child gradually dissipated, and everyone felt their minds clear and their hearts return to tranquility.

Although Cao An, Gu Yu, and the others were gradually recovering, their hearts grew increasingly heavy. Li Luosheng's magic was unpredictable and could be unleashed in an instant, making it truly impossible to defend against.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Luosheng's eyes: "I didn't expect you could break through my 'Lord of the Clouds'."

Xu Wuji's face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that casting that spell had taken a heavy toll.

[You did recognize that Xu Wuji was using the "Wood Virtue Dominating Heaven" from the "Scripture of the Revolving Wheel of the Five Virtues of the Primordial Heaven".]

The Five Innate Virtues interact and restrain each other, in an endless cycle.

[When the Wood element reigned supreme, the Azure Dragon rested in the countryside, where vegetation flourished, all things sprouted, and peace returned to all corners of the world.]

[Once this method is used, all kinds of evil spells can be rendered invisible.]

[You have also practiced the "Scripture of the Reincarnation of the Five Virtues of the Primordial Heaven," and know that this art cannot be mastered without profound cultivation.]

Xu Wuji's ability to perform this feat truly lives up to his reputation.

Besides the Wood element ruling the heavens, there are also the Fire element and the Metal element ruling the heavens, each possessing different divine abilities.

Legend has it that the Nine Yang Immortal had cultivated the Five Virtues to perfection, his body was flawless, and he was nearly invincible, immune to all magic.

Such a realm is beyond the comprehension of those who have not broken through to the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao. This also demonstrates the sheer power of the *Innate Five Virtues Revolving Scripture*.

Li Luosheng chuckled, "Since I created 'Shao Siming' and 'Yun Zhongjun,' very few have been able to break them."

"Then... how about trying my 'Eastern Emperor'?"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Ziyang Academy, along with Cao An, Gu Yu of Daoling Sect, and others, paled in shock.

Xu Wuji's brows furrowed, his previous arrogance vanished.

[Li Luosheng stopped urging the sea of ​​blood to surge, his expression turned solemn, and a bloodstain began to appear between his brows.]

【At this very moment!】

The stone bridge before them trembled violently, and the obstacles that had previously covered it vanished, revealing the ancient bridge surface.

[Li Luosheng slightly raised his gaze, the surging magical power around him gradually subsided, and turned to look at you, saying, "Brother Zhou, the secret realm has opened."]

The reason the Daoling Sect, Ziyang Academy, and Taihua Sect members were stranded here was because the stone bridge was blocked, making the path forward difficult. Now, the passage has appeared!

As you gaze intently, you see mist swirling at the end of the stone bridge, with several Taoist temples appearing and disappearing among the clouds, their atmosphere profound and mysterious.

Li Luosheng added, "Besides the entrance we see here, there are three other passages to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace. It seems someone has already gotten there first."

Li Luosheng glanced at Xu Wuji and the others, his tone indifferent: "Dealing with them won't take much effort, but I'm afraid it will waste time. What do you think, Brother Zhou?"

[As Li Luosheng finished speaking, Xu Wuji, Gu Yu, and the others suddenly turned their gazes to you—this "ordinary disciple" they had previously completely ignored.]

[The cultivation level of the early stage of the Dao Embryo realm was indeed insignificant in that earth-shattering battle just now.]

However, upon closer inspection, they realized that your aura was pure, clearly indicating the foundation of a true Xuanmen sect.

[How could someone as powerful as Li Luosheng, a holy son of the demonic path, address this person as a friend and even proactively seek your opinion?]

Who exactly is this person?

Xiahou Li of the Extreme Demonic Sect also looked over curiously. He couldn't quite see through Li Luosheng now, but who was this person who could make Li Luosheng treat him as an equal?

[With a slight shift in your thoughts, you realize that this Heavenly Emperor's palace contains two immortal herbs, as well as the cultivation techniques he once practiced. As for Xu Wuji and the others... they are not a concern; there's no need to rush.]

"Then let's not delay!"

Li Luosheng nodded slightly and immediately led the Blood Sea Demon Sect disciples onto the stone bridge.

After this battle, the members of the Demonic Sect held this Holy Son in even greater awe, and dared not show the slightest disrespect in their actions.

Seeing you set off, Yue Yunqing followed closely behind without hesitation.

[Feng Qingyun of the Taihua Sect hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the remaining members of the two righteous sects in the arena, but he ultimately did not hesitate any longer and quickly followed Yue Yunqing's steps.]

Although Xiahou Li of the Extreme Demonic Sect intended to take advantage of Xu Wuji's weakened state, seeing that Li Luosheng had already entered the secret realm, he immediately led his disciples to follow.

In the blink of an eye, only the righteous path remained on this side of the stone bridge.

Xu Wuji remained silent until Li Luosheng and the others completely disappeared at the end of the stone bridge, at which point he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Gu Yu rushed forward, his voice anxious: "Senior Brother Wuji, how are you?"

Xu Wuji wiped the blood from his lips, his voice slightly low: "It's nothing, just that my magic power was overused."

Seeing that Xu Wuji had been injured in the previous exchange, Cao An's fear of Li Luosheng deepened.

Gu Yu looked ashamed and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's all my fault for my poor cultivation... I will avenge this! I will kill Li Luosheng with my own hands!"

Xu Wuji slowly shook his head: "From now on, don't provoke him."

Gu Yu was taken aback—in his memory, this senior brother had always been unyielding and had never shown such a yielding attitude before.

Xu Wuji's gaze sharpened, and he said in a low voice, "The Blood Sea Demon Sect's 'Blood Sea Netherworld Demon Art'... seems like it shouldn't look like this."

He paused slightly, his tone grave: "Li Luosheng is far too cunning. In our exchange just now, he probably hadn't even used his true strength."

Gu Yu's heart trembled again. Had Li Luosheng not yet revealed his true strength despite the imposing aura he had displayed earlier?

A burning light gradually appeared in Xu Wuji's previously weary eyes.

"That's good... at least it's not so boring anymore. I originally thought only Tianjingxu and Renshangren were worthy opponents."

"Now, there's another one: Li Luosheng."

Gu Yu changed the subject abruptly and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wuji, when you went to chase after Diewu, did you manage to obtain that treasure?"

Xu Wuji nodded slightly: "This item complements me perfectly, but I haven't refined it yet."

His gaze returned to the end of the stone bridge, his voice as cold as ice: "Once I reach the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao, Li Luosheng, I will personally take your head."

"Let's go in too."

The group followed and entered the secret realm.

~

After crossing the stone bridge, several winding paths lead forward, eventually passing several Taoist temples nestled among the bamboo groves.

[You didn't expect that the secret realm wouldn't contain any extraordinary scenery, only ordinary bamboo forests and Taoist temples, very simple and unadorned.]

However, flying is prohibited here, so one cannot travel by air.

Most importantly, the restriction on magical power rendered his entire body's magical energy utterly useless, as if it had sunk into the mud and disappeared into the sea.

Upon entering this place, everyone felt unwell.

Once a cultivator loses their magical power, they are like a fish out of water, their steps inevitably becoming more unsteady and uneasy.

The disciples of the Extreme Demonic Sect, having spent years honing their physical strength and refining their qi and blood, originally followed the path of achieving physical sainthood, and thus adapted the fastest at this moment.

Li Luosheng stood still, his gaze sweeping over every blade of grass and tree around him, a faint, almost imperceptible sigh appearing on his face.

You continued on your way, and soon passed through a bamboo forest.

The outline of the Taoist temple finally emerged from the depths of the bamboo forest. Among the continuous cluster of buildings, three temples stood majestically atop the peaks, their imposing presence far surpassing the surrounding structures, subtly forming a tripod-like formation.

Looking around, one sees grand halls arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion, interspersed with pavilions and towers, and winding, vermilion-lacquered corridors, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Moreover, this place is extremely spacious. Although you cannot use your magic, you can rely entirely on your naked eyes, and your eyesight is already excellent.

[It's so vast, you can't even see the end of it!]

[Li Luosheng gazed at the distant Taoist temple complex, his gaze lingering particularly on the three most magnificent halls in the center, and said, "These hundred halls all contain treasures left behind by our ancestors."]

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered—if this were true, the opportunities here would be incredibly abundant!

Your gaze, however, has already fallen directly on the three most imposing main halls.

Seeing this, Li Luosheng chuckled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Those most precious inheritances and treasures are located in these three halls."

Hearing this, everyone rubbed their hands together, eager to try—Li Luosheng had previously said that there were other entrances to this place, and it would be a pity if someone else got there first.

Li Luosheng, however, remained unperturbed, saying, "I was initially worried that someone would get there first, but after entering this place, I feel much more at ease."

He turned to you, his gaze deep: "Brother Zhou, do you still remember the Teng Snake from Langya Heavenly Realm?"

Your eyes flickered slightly, and you understood.

Li Luosheng chuckled, "It seems those three from the Heavenly Emperor's Palace haven't died either."

His tone grew somber, as if with a sigh: "Truly, even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down when dead."

"Let's go to the Taoist temple on the left first—Huanghua Temple."
