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

After Yang Yuan and the others left.

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to carefully inspect the entire cave several times, inside and out.

Only after confirming that there were no surveillance devices in the mansion did he feel at ease letting Li Shouzhou and the others rest there.

Subsequently.

He randomly found a room, set up multiple layers of restrictions, and began to take inventory of the Qiankun bag that Yang Yuan had given him earlier.

With the Void Dao Saint Master in charge and having painstakingly managed Xuandan City for over a century, the Giant Whale Gang has naturally accumulated a vast amount of wealth.

Although these valuables might not mean much to Yang Yuan and other Void Dao Saint Masters from the Medicine God Sect.

But for those independent cultivators without any background, it was a windfall.

Inside this Qiankun bag were the spoils of war that Yang Yuan and his companions obtained after wiping out the Giant Whale Gang.

Lu Yuan glanced through it and found that the most common items were various ores, medicinal herbs, and some common martial arts manuals.

Compared to Wei Hu and others, they were dirt poor.

But this is understandable.

After all, the Giant Whale Gang is just an underground gang, how can it compare to those profound and immortal lineages?

It wasn't until Lu Yuan had searched the entire Qiankun bag that his eyes lit up slightly, and he finally saw the two sacred artifacts.

However, although both of these sacred artifacts are intact, they are of low quality.

For him now, it's like a chicken rib, it's no longer of much use.

"This item is useless to me, but I can keep it for now and use it to exchange for resources later."

Lu Yuan put away the two sacred artifacts and then took out a page of bronze scripture from his Qiankun bag.

This page of bronze book is as thin as a cicada's wing, its surface covered with rust and bronze green patina, as if it were an ancient artifact just unearthed from a tomb.

But upon closer inspection, you'll find...

The surface of the bronze book is engraved with dense, mysterious runes that resemble flowers, birds, insects, and ants.

Each rune is extremely ancient, and its complexity is so great that even the Void Dao Saint Master could not fathom it.

This was a Saint-level cultivation technique that the leader of the Giant Whale Gang had unexpectedly obtained from an ancient secret realm.

The Giant Whale Overturns the Sea!
This technique is incredibly powerful and profound, capable of greatly enhancing a cultivator's physique and magical power.

Once unleashed, it's like a giant whale churning the ocean, unleashing overwhelming power.

"Although this method is not as effective as the supreme techniques of the Great Sun Zen School and the Divine Fire Sect, it still has many merits."

"If I can master it, it might significantly enhance my physical strength once again."

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to scan the page of the bronze book and quickly grasped its mysteries.

Followed by.

His thoughts moved slightly.

Circulate your own Qi and blood according to the methods recorded in the Giant Whale Overturning the Sea Technique.

"Crash!"

Not long after.

He heard the sound of blood flowing rapidly within his body, like a mighty river surging endlessly, washing over his meridians and bones, making his body increasingly clear and flawless.

Moreover, just as he was using the Giant Whale Overturning the Sea Technique to temper his physical body, his sixteen-foot-tall golden body, which had already reached perfection, seemed to undergo some kind of change.

Lu Yuan looked inward and found that faint golden Dao marks were imprinted on his flesh and bones.

These Dao marks are the ultimate manifestation of the sixteen-foot golden body, which can greatly enhance the strength of the physical body, making the physique indestructible and comparable to immortal gold and divine materials.

With the blessing of the golden Dao mark.

A single drop of blood in Lu Yuan's body is heavier than a mountain.

Can be imagined.

If he were to unleash the full power of his physical body, what terrifying might he would unleash!

At this moment, as Lu Yuan continued to circulate the Giant Whale Overturning the Sea Technique, the golden Dao marks imprinted in his flesh and bones became increasingly clear.

His blood was as heavy as a mountain, becoming increasingly condensed.

His bones were indestructible, as if they were cast from celestial gold.

His heartbeat was strong and powerful, like rolling thunder, giving people an unprecedented sense of oppression!

to the end.

All the golden Dao traces and flesh merged perfectly into one, as if they had become a part of his body, no longer separate from each other!
"boom!"

three days later.

Lu Yuan's body trembled, and the boiling blood and qi within him gradually calmed down, eventually returning to stillness.

But his aura became increasingly terrifying.

Just sitting there.

It seemed to be able to crush the heavens and the earth, making this space unbearable and causing countless cracks to appear!
"This method is indeed excellent; it has significantly enhanced my indestructible golden body once again."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Although the Giant Whale Overturning the Sea Technique is not as profound as the Nine Transformations of Nirvana or the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra, it is still an ancient saint-level technique.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan extracted its essence and perfectly integrated the core of this technique with the Undying Golden Body. The two complemented each other, bringing Lu Yuan considerable benefits as well.

without any exaggeration.

His physical strength is now greater than that of many late-stage Void Path Saint Lords.

If Fu Ming were still alive, he wouldn't even need to use the Supreme Destruction Law; he could have killed him with pure physical strength alone!

“Essence, Qi, and Spirit are all one. When the physical body grows rapidly, it will naturally lead to an improvement in cultivation and the soul.”

"At this rate, I should be able to reach the mid-stage of the Void Path soon."

Lu Yuan carefully considered his options and did not directly consume the Profound Phoenix Divine Pill.

This pill can elevate the Void Dao Saint Master to a minor realm without leaving any side effects.

However, he is only at the early stage of the Void Path cultivation. If he rashly takes this pill, he will only waste a lot of medicinal power.

Only when he reaches the mid-stage of the Void Path can the value of this pill be maximized.

"The Divine Fire Sect is currently busy besieging the Medicine God Sect's mountain gate, and it shouldn't be able to spare too many troops to attack Xuandan City for the time being."

“Xuandan City is equipped with the Thousand-Rope Dragon-Binding Formation, and with Yang Yuan and the others, it is enough to deal with most of the Divine Fire Sect’s experts.”

"I can take this opportunity to improve my own strength as much as possible."

Lu Yuan made a quick decision to go into seclusion for a period of time.

With the power of the Supreme Law, he can now defeat a late-stage Void Dao Saint Lord, but he is still somewhat outmatched when facing a true Inscription Dao Supreme.

After all, the gap between the two is so vast that even the supreme laws cannot bridge it.

Unless he reaches the late stage of the Void Path realm and his strength increases dramatically, he will not be able to fight against the Supreme Mingdao!
Just as Lu Yuan went into seclusion, the external situation underwent a dramatic change.

As the time goes.

One bad news after another came from the Medicine God Sect, making Yang Yuan and the others restless and so anxious that they couldn't even eat.

However, the Medicine God Sect is currently under siege by a large army, and even the Supreme Dao Inscription cannot enter.

All they could do was desperately reinforce the defenses of Xuandan City to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Divine Fire Sect.

But what's meant to happen will happen.

Half a month later. As Yang Yuan and the others waited anxiously, a large army finally appeared not far from Xuandan City.

This Divine Fire Cult army numbered over a million, with even the weakest among them possessing Nirvana cultivation.

Warships soared through the sky, their banners waving.

Vast and boundless, the sheer number of people stretched as far as the eye could see.

The design on their banners was a blazing fire, sacred and flawless, as if it could purify all the filth in the world!
One million Nirvana cultivators, tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate powerhouses, and twenty Void Dao Saint Lords!
This is the true essence of the immortal tradition of our time!

"Just as the intelligence indicated, the Divine Fire Sect, having failed to conquer the sect after a long siege, has set its sights on our Xuandan City."

Looking at the massive, dark army of the Divine Fire Cult below the city, Yang Yuan's expression turned extremely grim, and he felt an unprecedented sense of immense pressure.

Although this army only has about one million people, each one of them is an elite selected from among thousands of realms.

They were well-equipped, powerful, and possessed a variety of terrifying secret techniques and supernatural abilities, making them far beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, they have undergone training.

When they cooperate seamlessly, they can form a battlefield formation that can significantly boost their strength in a short period of time.

Even with Yang Yuan's hastily assembled three million city guards and the advantage of terrain, he was not entirely confident of defeating this formidable army.

"Old man Yang Yuan, I am Chu Tianlie, an elder of the Divine Fire Sect. My sect's army is now at the city gates. Why don't you open the gates and surrender at once!"

Just at this time.

A figure suddenly burst out from behind the army and appeared in front of the army in a few flashes.

This man was dressed in a red robe. Although he was old, his voice was loud and powerful, and his figure was exceptionally robust.

His straight, short red hair, like steel needles piercing the sky, made his aura appear even more tough and ruthless.

His voice, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears.

Even with the city's protective formations blocking the way, the shock still caused all the defenders in Xuandan City to experience a surge of qi and blood.

Some of the weaker defenders even coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot, feeling as if their internal organs were about to burst open!
"Chu Tianlie, a half-step Supreme of the Divine Fire Sect?"

Upon seeing this person, Yang Yuan's face turned deathly pale, and his heart sank into an abyss. He couldn't accept this fact for a long time.

Under normal circumstances.

If a Void Dao Saint Lord who has reached the Perfect Realm wishes to further enhance his strength, he needs to inscribe the Dao of Heaven and Earth or spread the Dharma throughout the world in order to be qualified to achieve the Supreme Position.

But the world's geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

However, there are only three thousand laws and principles, which have long been divided up by the supreme beings of the past. Where is there any room for those who come after?
Therefore, no matter how extraordinary the talent of the newcomer, they can only inherit the vacant position and become the new ruler after the old ruler has passed away or died of old age.

Chu Tianlie was the most amazing true disciple of the Divine Fire Sect ten thousand years ago!

He came from a poor family, but his talent for cultivation was terrifyingly strong. In just ten thousand years, he cultivated to the perfect realm of the Void Path.

after that.

He fought in numerous battles, making great contributions to the Divine Fire Sect. He was personally bestowed with a portion of the Fire Dao Laws by the sect leader and has now achieved the position of a half-step Supreme.

He was just one step away from becoming the supreme ruler of the world!

It is important to understand that without a background or connections, an ordinary holy ruler would not be able to achieve supreme status in future generations solely through his own efforts.

It is many times more difficult than starting from scratch and building an entire empire all by yourself.

However, Chu Tianlie managed to carve out a sliver of hope to become a Venerable despite all the laws and authority being monopolized by the current Daoist lineage, demonstrating just how terrifying his strength truly is!
without any exaggeration.

With his talent and aptitude, once he becomes a Venerable, his strength will undergo a qualitative change, and he will be able to suppress many old Venerables without any problem!

"Since you've heard of my reputation, you know I don't like wasting time talking to people."

"Give up resistance, open the gates and surrender, and I will spare your lives."

Chu Tianlie was decisive and ruthless. Every word he uttered resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, making the heads of all the guards buzz. His tone was also domineering and unquestionable.

It was as if Yang Yuan and the others, if they dared to disobey his will, would be defying the will of Heaven and would suffer the most terrible punishment!

Faced with such a powerful and almost invincible existence.

The city's defenders were filled with fear, and their fighting spirit was greatly diminished!

"Lord, what should we do?"

The other Void Dao Saint Lords also looked to Yang Yuan for help, hoping he could offer some solution.

But in fact.

Yang Yuan himself was only at the late stage of the Void Dao realm, how could he possibly contend with Chu Tianlie, a well-established half-step supreme being?

"Has there been any news from Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan yet?"

Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, Yang Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I have sent urgent messages several times, but this person has remained secluded. Other Qingyun Sect disciples said that he is in the process of breaking through and cannot come out of seclusion rashly."

Another Void Dao Saint Master harbored resentment.

You should know that the Xuanhuang Void God Pill is extremely precious, and even they are not qualified to enjoy it.

But now that the Divine Fire Cult is at the city gates, Lu Yuan is standing by and watching, showing no intention of taking action. How can they remain calm?
"Refining the Profound Phoenix Divine Pill will indeed take a lot of time; it seems we can only rely on ourselves."

"Xuandan City is a matter of life and death for our sect. We cannot afford any mistakes. Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Yang Yuan took a deep breath and said with a resolute expression.

Others can surrender, but he can't.

Because the Yang family has been disciples of the Medicine God Sect for generations, they have an extremely strong sense of belonging to the sect.

Moreover, the Medicine God Sect is renowned for its alchemy, and most of its disciples are alchemists. If they were to surrender to the Divine Fire Sect...

Not only will they lose their current high status, but they will also become alchemy tools of the Divine Fire Cult, and will be driven and enslaved for the rest of their lives!

"Kill them! We might as well die together with them!"

Many disciples of the Medicine God Sect roared, determined to fight the Divine Fire Sect to the death and never surrender.

"You're asking for it! Since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Chu Tianlie snorted coldly, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"All disciples, listen to my command! When the city falls, kill everyone you see, leave no survivors!"

This statement came out.

All the cultivators in Xuandan City were shocked. They never dreamed that Chu Tianlie would be so ruthless as to issue a city-wide massacre order!
It should be noted that Xuandan City has a population of hundreds of millions, most of whom are cultivators from all over the country.

If the Divine Fire Cult rashly massacres the city, aren't they afraid of provoking public outrage?
For a while.

All the independent cultivators in Xuandan City were in an uproar.

"The Divine Fire Cult is acting too domineeringly. How could they do this?"

"Yes, this battle is a feud between the Divine Fire Sect and Xuandan City, and has nothing to do with others. Why should we be dragged into it?"

"It's over. Chu Tianlie is a half-step Supreme. How can Yang Yuan and a few other Void Dao Saint Masters possibly resist the Divine Fire Sect's army?"

All the independent cultivators in the city were filled with fear and despair, and simply did not believe that the Medicine God Sect could be a match for the Divine Fire Sect.

"Heaven cherishes life, so I can give you a chance to live."

"If you leave Xuandan City within one hour, I will spare your lives!"

A cold smile appeared on Chu Tianlie's face, as if he had long anticipated the reaction of the people in the city.

Hear this.

All the independent cultivators in Xuandan City were overjoyed, as if they were drowning people who had grasped at the last straw, and they couldn't wait to escape Xuandan City immediately.

However, Yang Yuan and his group of powerful members of the Medicine God Sect felt their hearts clench, immediately sensing something was wrong! (End of Chapter)
