The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 18 Jiuyou Promise, Simulation Choice
Soon after,

In the Jiuyou Palace,

Jiuyou, dressed in a light gauze, walked out of the retreat room. Her tall figure was faintly visible under the gauze. Her slightly narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and her charm was filled with untamed wildness, especially her pair of perfect long legs, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Chen admired it silently for a while, then raised his head and saw Jiu You looking at him with a smile.

"Is it pretty, little brother?"

"Quite good looking."

Lu Chen answered honestly.

Jiuyou heard this and a smile spread across her pretty face. She approached Lu Chen and jokingly said, "If she's pretty, just look at her a few more times. When you're stronger than me one day, you can even ask me to warm your bed. But when I make such a request, you have to be careful about whether your small body can handle it."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes. This sister was so bold.

After retreating, he took out a red scroll from the mustard seed bracelet, handed it to Jiuyou, and began to talk about business.

"Sister Jiuyou, I'm here this time to ask for your help on something important."

Jiuyou took the scroll, glanced at it and the contents inside came into his mind, and he instantly understood Lu Chen's purpose.

"You want me to help you collect the materials mentioned above? Are you planning to cultivate the Heavenly Flame Dharma Body?"

Jiuyou laughed in silence.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, I've decided."

"Didn't you look down on this Dharmakaya before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Jiuyou raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"When I was young and ignorant, there were always things I couldn't see clearly. Now I've figured it out. Being able to cultivate a Dharmakaya ranked in the top ninety-ninth level of the Supreme Dharmakaya is already a great blessing. I dare not ask for too much."

Lu Chen smiled and said calmly.

"Alright, I'll spread the word and ask someone to help you find some. The other ingredients are easy to find, but the three main ingredients in this Sky Flame Dharma Body are quite rare and I'm afraid they'll be hard to find."

Jiuyou looked at the scroll in his hand and said thoughtfully.

Lu Chen frowned slightly and said, "Sister Jiuyou, are you talking about the three treasures: the Great Sun Golden Crystal, the Flowing Fire Sky Flame, and the Sky Fire Jadeite?"

"Ah."

Jiuyou nodded and said, "Of these three treasures, I've heard of the Skyfire Jadeite. It's a fire jade condensed from the deepest part of the magma ocean. It takes ten thousand years for the fire jade to condense into chalcedony. Among the ninety-nine levels of the Supreme Dharmakaya, it's said that some powerful Dharmakayas need this item."

"As for the other two, Great Sun Crystal Gold and Flowing Fire Sky Flame, I have never heard of them. However, since they are both the main materials of the Sky Flame Dharmakaya, I think they are not ordinary items."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, knowing that this was not an easy task. After all, it was the Supreme Dharmakaya that had been improved by Emperor Yan. Even if it was just the precursor of the Dharmakaya, the materials needed were probably not easy to obtain, so he had to search for it slowly.

He immediately said, "Sister Jiuyou, please do your best to collect them. I will take them no matter what the price is."

"Okay, if the Supreme Spiritual Liquid is not enough, I still have some savings in the Nine Nether Palace. If I sell the spiritual objects and spiritual secrets in the treasury, I should be able to help you raise these things."

Jiuyou nodded slightly and agreed to the matter without thinking.

Lu Chen's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "That's not necessary. I'll pay for these things. Although my family has fallen on hard times, I still have some savings. I won't let Sister Jiuyou spend so much money."

"Let's keep those things to train the Nine Nether Guards. After all, they are also your hard work, Sister Jiuyou."

"Are you sure? These things are not a small amount of money."

Jiuyou frowned and said unhappily.

"I'm sure. If it's not enough, come and borrow some from Sister Jiuyou."

Lu Chen touched his nose, not wanting to offend Sister Jiuyou, so he had to say this.

"Okay, just decide for yourself. If you don't have enough, come back to me."

Jiuyou's brows relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction.

……

After a while,

Lu Chen walked out of the hall, returned to the training room, and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

With a thought, he resurrected the illusory panel and received the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya Advancement Technique. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed. "I'll practice for a while and see what happens during next month's simulation. I hope I can gather the materials for the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya training. If not, I'll just have to make things harder for my future self."

Lu Chen thought for a while, and the mustard bracelet on his hand flashed with light, and suddenly a thousand drops of crystal clear supreme spiritual liquid flew out.

Lu Chen activated the Burning Technique, and the purple Supreme Sea in his body trembled suddenly, like a bottomless pit, directly sucking in the Supreme Spirit Liquid. Then, a violent wave came from the Supreme Sea, and the long refining process began.

Time passed quickly during cultivation, and a month went by in a flash.

On the stone platform, the young man with his eyes closed finished refining the last drop of the Supreme Spirit Liquid. His eyelashes blinked slightly, and after a moment, his dark eyes suddenly opened.

In the black pupils, purple light flashed as usual, but this time it was slightly deeper.

Lu Chen slowly exhaled the foul air in his chest, then stood up. Feeling the improvement in his cultivation, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself: "At this rate, I'm afraid that in another six months, I will be able to reach the peak of the First-Rank Supreme..."

"It's just that it consumes too much Supreme Spirit Fluid..."

Touching the mustard seed bracelet on his hand, Lu Chen said with some heartache.

One month of practice consumed one thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids, and this was only in the early stages. The higher the realm, the more Supreme Spirit Liquids were needed.

It is rumored that the Supreme Spirit Liquid needed by the Supreme Heavenly Being is even more massive, and hundreds of millions of Supreme Spirit Liquid are consumed every year. At that level, there is no such thing as being alone. One must either join a super power or create a super power of his own, otherwise even daily cultivation cannot be satisfied.

"It's time. The one-month deadline is up. Let's start the simulation."

Lu Chen's mind moved, and he summoned the virtual panel in his mind.

[Ding, the current number of simulations is one]

[Do you want to start simulation? ]

"Turn on!"

[Ding! The future life simulator has started! ]

[Future life simulation——]

In your first year, you diligently cultivated, drawing upon vast quantities of Supreme Spiritual Fluid, and quickly reached the peak of the First-Rank Supreme Realm. Then, news arrived from Jiuyou that a Skyfire Jadeite would be auctioned off at the Shang Continent's auction house in a month.

[You were overjoyed, and after making some preparations, you set off for the Shang Continent.]

[Later, you finally obtained the Heavenly Fire Jadeite as you wished. Then you met Lin Jing, who was disguised as a man. She expressed her desire for the Heavenly Fire Jadeite to cultivate the Heavenly Jade Dharma Body. After some thought, you finally gave it to her.]

She was deeply moved and gave you a piece of protective jade, enough to withstand a blow from a fifth-grade supreme being. You accepted the jade, and the two of you traveled together. On the way out of the auction house, you were ambushed by Liu Ming, the Young Palace Master of Xuantian Palace.

[Faced with the First-Rank Supreme Liu Ming, you, a fellow First-Rank Supreme, were naturally not afraid. The two of you engaged in a fierce exchange. During the battle, you revealed your peak First-Rank strength, unleashing a great divine technique that instantly dealt him a heavy blow.]

Liu Ming was furious and summoned a black-robed old man, ordering him to cut you into pieces. The black-robed old man's strength was terrifying, and with a single blow, he sent you flying, shattering the protective jade on your body in an instant.

[You realized something and were about to escape with Lin Jing when the old man in black robes appeared in front of you. You died.]

[This simulation ends——]

【You can choose an item in your future life】

[1. Heavenly Fire Chalcedony]

[2. Protective Jade]

[3. Your memory of dying at the age of eighteen]

Lu Chen looked at the three options in front of him and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Although my death was somewhat hasty, it also proves that the future is not static. I didn't go to the Northern Cang Continent this time, so I also missed out on the White Dragon Spirit Pearl that contains the opportunity of the Heavenly Supreme."

"Of the three options, the memory of dying is definitely not an option. I already know the cause of death. The only thing I need to do is avoid that guy Liu Ming. Choosing it is useless."

"I can only choose one between the protective jade and the skyfire chalcedony..."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen subconsciously wanted to choose the Sky Fire Jadeite, but at the end, he stopped.

"No, although the simulation can be repeated multiple times, the opportunities are not fixed. My first choice should be those that are not fixed. Fixed opportunities like the Skyfire Jadeite are not very valuable to me."

"Besides, the other materials for cultivating the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya haven't been gathered yet. Even if I take the Heavenly Fire Jade Marrow, I won't be able to cultivate the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya in a short time. I should leave it as the last choice."

When Lu Chen thought about it, he suddenly understood, and finally chose the protective spiritual jade that could withstand the attack of the fifth-grade supreme.
