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

Chapter 172 Fourth Lifetime: Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Gathering Innate Qi!
[The reincarnation world for this time has been confirmed!]

[Retrieving your simulation experience!]

[World: Five-Star Parasitic Immortal Cultivation World]

[Difficulty: End Level]

[Introduction: In a world where the laws of nature are disordered and all beings are foolish, this is a corrupt, decadent, and terminally ill dark world.]

From birth, mortals are plagued by countless illnesses. If they wish to enter the path of cultivation, they must consume insect pills, sever their own limbs, and use their own flesh and blood as a foundation to nourish countless strange and wondrous beings!

[Warning: The Heavenly Dao of this realm has been completely distorted and will reject all outside simulators. Once you enter, you will encounter various unpredictable attacks and dangers.]

[Main Quest: The world is corrupted, and all things are distorted. Do your best to save this world; if you cannot, destroy it!]

[0 years old, you were born. 】

You were born into an ordinary family in Niujia Village.

You were born weak and sickly, and nearly died shortly after birth. However, a highly skilled monk from the Medicine Buddha Sect happened to pass by. His medical expertise was superb; with just one bowl of medicinal soup, he cured you and saved your life.

Before the high monk left, he noticed your extraordinary physique and specially left behind a prescription, instructing you to take it regularly to nourish your body.

[At age 1, you regularly took medicinal soup and felt refreshed and physically stronger than your peers.]

At 3 years old, you were incredibly strong, able to lift a millstone weighing over 100 pounds with one hand. With your innate strength, you became the little tyrant of the village.

At the age of 5, you developed a wisp of Qi, able to perceive the existence of spiritual energy in heaven and earth. You were hailed as a cultivation genius, causing a sensation throughout the entire Niu Family Village.

Upon learning of this, the eminent monk sent you a cultivation method and several medicinal prescriptions, promising that if you could cultivate them to the entry-level before the age of eighteen, he would personally accept you as his disciple.

Other people your age envy you.

[Because the heavens experience three calamities, and humans experience seven periods of decay.]

Ordinary people in this world are plagued by numerous illnesses from childhood, making their lives worse than death.

Only by embarking on the path of spiritual cultivation can one rid oneself of illness and achieve longevity!

[A peer, out of jealousy, stole your medicinal soup, only to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, his flesh and blood withering away, lying on the ground barely alive, practically half-dead.]

The village elders all say that you were born extraordinary, possessing a unique divine root that allows you to withstand the medicinal power of the soup. If others were to consume it rashly, they would only bring disaster upon themselves.

From then on, everyone in the village revered you like a god, and no one dared to feel any jealousy towards you again.

[At age 6, a wealthy man learned that you had been chosen by a celestial being and personally visited you, bringing a thousand taels of silver and offering to cover all your cultivation expenses.]

At the age of 8, you diligently practiced day and night, and in just three years, you successfully entered the Qi Refining stage.

The eminent monk was astonished and personally came out of seclusion to examine your innate talent, only to unexpectedly discover that you possess an extremely rare and superior mutated lightning spirit root!

The news caused a sensation throughout the entire sect.

[Upon hearing of this, Master Huiming of the Medicine Buddha Sect has decided to accept you as his personal disciple!]

At age 10, as a direct disciple, you have access to vast resources; rare and precious elixirs are as common as candy to you.

At age 11, you were exposed to numerous superior cultivation methods, and your cultivation speed progressed by leaps and bounds.

A young novice monk named Xuanxin, who joined the sect at the same time as you, is very close to you. He follows you around like a shadow every day.

One day, you went to the back hall of the sect to play with your junior brother Xuanxin, only to find that he and dozens of other junior brothers had their limbs severed, turned into human sticks, and soaked in a viscous medicinal liquid.

Just as you lose your temper and are about to break down the door to stop it all, the suddenly appearing Sect Leader Huiming tells you that Xuanxin and the others, due to their mediocre talent, have no choice but to use this method to accelerate their cultivation.

You were somewhat skeptical, but out of trust in your master, you still left the sect's inner hall.

Two months later, you saw Junior Brother Xuanxin again. His limbs were completely intact, and he had even mastered the Divine Foot Technique, making him several times stronger than you!

What will disappoint you most is that, while your junior brother Xuanxin used to chatter incessantly whenever he saw you, he is now cold and indifferent, as if he were a completely different person.

At age 12, your relationship with Xuanxin gradually drifted apart, eventually turning into that of strangers. Without friends your own age, you could only dedicate all your energy and time to cultivation.

At 15, you consumed a Foundation Establishment Pill, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and becoming the youngest Foundation Establishment disciple of the Medicine Buddha Sect.

Just as you successfully broke through, a sharp pain shot through your abdomen, nearly causing you to faint.

However, Master Huiming said that this was because you had only recently broken through to the next level, and your foundation was temporarily unstable. You just need to rest and recuperate for a while.

[Perhaps it's a lingering issue from your Foundation Establishment, but since breaking through, you've noticed you frequently experience auditory hallucinations such as mournful beast roars and sharp insect chirps.]

But you didn't tell him about it so as not to worry your master.

At 16, you followed your master down the mountain to gain experience and knowledge, but on your return journey you encountered a group of demonic cultivators.

They are powerful and try to lure you with sweet words, saying that by joining them you will know the truth of the world.

[The usually amiable Sect Leader Huiming, upon hearing these words, became enraged beyond anything he had ever seen. He ruthlessly slaughtered all the demonic cultivators and rebuked you for your unstable Dao heart, punishing you to spend three years in solitary confinement in the Pure Heart Hall.]

You dared not contradict your master's decision, yet you were deeply curious about the so-called truth.

[At 19, you spent three years in seclusion. Upon emerging, you learned from other disciples that Junior Brother Xuanxin had recently successfully condensed his Golden Core, becoming a Core Formation cultivator!]

You, remembering your past relationship, tried to congratulate him, but all you received in return was a chillingly cold gaze.

[At 25, as your cultivation deepens, auditory hallucinations become increasingly severe, and you may even experience occasional visual hallucinations.]

[After consulting numerous ancient texts, you learn that so-called auditory and visual hallucinations are actually inner demons and obstacles on the path of cultivation. Overcoming these inner demons is all that's needed to embark on the path to the Golden Elixir!]

[At 30 years old, you have completed the Foundation Establishment stage and are attempting your first breakthrough to Core Formation.]

[But just as you were about to form your core, the auditory hallucinations you experienced reached a point where you couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.]

You suddenly realize that the solemn Buddhist chants that have always resonated throughout the sect are actually a shrill, piercing chirp of insects!

This discovery shattered your Dao heart and nearly caused you to perish on the spot!

You finally realize that the world isn't as simple as it seems.

You desperately want to understand what happened, and this matter has become an obsession for you!

[At 31, Master Huiming had a long talk with you all night, bluntly stating that the reason you failed to break through was because of your obsessions. He said that you only need to eliminate all distracting thoughts to successfully form your core.]

[You, who have always been obedient to your master, fell silent this time. Seeing that you were unmoved by reason, Headmaster Huiming became furious and stormed off.]

[At 35, you failed your ninth attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage, nearly losing all your cultivation and becoming a cripple.]

After learning of this matter, Master Huiming's attitude towards you grew increasingly cold.

[At 37, a high-ranking monk from a sect suggested transplanting your spiritual root to another junior. However, after examining your body, Sect Leader Huiming discovered that the spiritual root had already merged with yours, and he was ultimately forced to abandon this plan.]

At 50, you gave up on yourself, neglecting your cultivation, transforming from the most brilliant and dazzling prodigy of the Medicine Buddha Sect into a useless piece of trash.

[In contrast, although Junior Brother Xuanxin's talent was mediocre, his perseverance was astonishing. In just forty years, he reached the Nascent Soul stage and became a Supreme Elder of the sect!]

[You spend most of your time in the sect's scripture pavilion, and from fragments of numerous incomplete texts, you learn that in ancient times there existed a group of peculiar cultivators known as Gu cultivators.]

[For some unknown reason, these ancient Gu cultivators vanished completely, leaving behind no legacy.]

At 51, just as you were feeling lost, a demonic cultivator who wished to remain anonymous offered you some clues.

At 53, following these clues, you tried to continue your investigation and finally uncovered a glimpse of the truth.

This fragmented truth, though incomplete, is enough to overturn all your worldviews and perceptions!

Just as you were losing your mind and descending into madness, Elder Xuanxin suddenly appeared before you.

【you are dead……】

"He's dead?" Lu Yuan looked somewhat astonished after browsing through all the information.

If we disregard some details, my simulated experience in this life can be described as smooth sailing.

He developed a sense of Qi at the age of five and became a Qi Refining cultivator at the age of eight, officially embarking on the path of cultivation.

He then successfully established his foundation at the age of fifteen, becoming the youngest foundation-establishing prodigy in the Medicine Buddha Sect.

A fifteen-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator would be considered exceptionally gifted in any cultivation world.

However, after that, my simulation experience took a sharp turn for the worse.

First, he experienced auditory hallucinations and inner demons. Then, due to his deep-seated obsession, he failed to form his core multiple times, ultimately becoming a useless person.

As for the so-called truth of the world, it is definitely related to parasitic cultivation.

Although the previous life was dangerous, at least in the early stages I could still rely on Old Master Lu.

Once you get through the initial stage, you can rely on your talent to work hard and become stronger, and then slay alien demons.

But in this life, cultivating immortality means death, and not cultivating immortality is an even more certain death!
Moreover, whether it is that high monk or Master Huiming, they probably have ulterior motives towards me!
Lu Yuan was in a terrible predicament and could only place all his hopes on his cheat system.

"I wonder what kind of talent I will be able to obtain in this life?"

at the same time.

The prompting voice of the will of the heavens also rang in his ears.

[Adaptive talent in effect...]

Congratulations on obtaining the god-level talent [Exceptional Comprehension] in this simulation!

[Exceptional Comprehension: You possess unparalleled talent, capable of entering a state of sudden enlightenment anytime, anywhere, able to glean special abilities, techniques, or supernatural powers from anything!]

"Incredible comprehension?"

When Lu Yuan saw this god-level talent, he couldn't help but gasp.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

For the vast majority of cultivators, sudden enlightenment is an extremely rare and serendipitous encounter and a stroke of good fortune.

But after Lu Yuan acquired the god-level talent of [Unparalleled Comprehension], he was in a state of enlightenment at all times!
What is this concept?
without any exaggeration.

With the blessing of this talent.

Even if he were a mortal with no talent for cultivation, he could still grow into an unparalleled immortal!
Not to mention that in the original simulation experience, Lu Yuan was born extraordinary, possessing an extremely rare and top-grade lightning spiritual root.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan's confidence soared, sweeping away all his previous worries.

Is there a great terror on the path of cultivation?
Then I will create my own cultivation system and forge a unique path!
Is the Medicine Buddha Sect hiding something sinister, plotting against me?
Then I'll storm their door and wipe out their entire family!

What kind of aberrations in the world are these? What kind of parasitic cultivation is this?

Anyone who dares to provoke me will be utterly wiped out!
Lu Yuan no longer hesitated.

He transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the simulated space.

……

Niujia Village.

"Wow wow~"

With a cry, a baby was born into this world.

After Lu Yuan regained consciousness.

An unprecedented feeling of weakness suddenly welled up in my heart.

He glanced down at himself, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Compared to normal babies in other parts of the world.

His skin was dry and loose, covered with wrinkles and folds. He didn't look like a newborn baby, but rather like an old man who was about to die and exuded an aura of death.

"It's born! It's a boy!"

But the midwife seemed completely unfazed and didn't find anything unusual about it.

"Could this be the consequence of the distortion of the Heavenly Dao?"

The moment Lu Yuan was born, it was immediately apparent that a strange power permeated the world.

This strange power is invisible and colorless, and has become one with this world. For all living beings, it is a necessity as essential as air.

If a newborn baby is as pure as crystal, then this power is filthy and corrupt, capable of corrupting everything in the world, making Lu Yuan instinctively feel disgusted.

His intuition told him.

If he were to be assimilated by this strange power, he would live a life of ignorance and confusion like any other mortal in this world, with unimaginable consequences!
However, this is the power of heaven and earth, the manifestation of the power of the heavenly way.

Even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator is not qualified to resist.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan is currently just an extremely weak infant and can't change anything at all.

The simulation is a guaranteed loss from the very beginning, how can we play like this?
Just as that strange power was surging towards him, about to be inhaled into Lu Yuan's body through his nose...

Lu Yuan could only stop crying and hold his breath, trying his best not to inhale it into his body.

However, he also knew that doing so would only buy him a short time and would not solve the problem at all.

Because this strange power is omnipresent and has permeated every corner of the world.

Air, food, water, vegetation, birds and beasts...

Everything in the world has been eroded by this force.

Even if Lu Yuan could go without eating, drinking, or breathing, he would still be eroded and assimilated as long as he stayed in this world.

It was at this time.

A notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary; you've grasped the method of utilizing primordial energy from your own birth experience!]

"Is this okay?"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes wide, feeling a flood of insights welling up inside him.

When a baby is first born, it is pure and innocent, unpolluted by the turbid world, and still has a wisp of innate Qi within its body.

However, ordinary babies are born without any intelligence, so how can they know how to use this wisp of innate Qi?
Even if a powerful being is reincarnated and awakens their innate wisdom, they may not necessarily master the method of utilizing their innate Qi.

Lu Yuan was able to intercept this wisp of innate Qi because he possessed the god-level talent of [heaven-defying comprehension]!
He tried to circulate the mental technique.

The next second, a warm current surged from the depths of his body and then quickly flowed throughout his limbs and bones.

That innate Qi is extremely strong and pure, capable of purifying all the filth in the world.

All the strange forces dissipated and could no longer pose any threat to Lu Yuan!
