The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 63: Two Advancement Routes for the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya

Jiuyou Palace.

In a practice room,
Lu Chen looked at the green jade slip in his hand that was stained with a little blood, sighed, then wiped the blood off the jade slip, put it on his forehead, and sensed it carefully.

After a while,

Lu Chen put down the jade slip, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "So that's how it is. No wonder the person in the simulation has never advanced to the Dharmakaya. He actually encountered such a problem."

"If the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya wanted to advance to the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya, it needed to absorb hundreds of different kinds of strange fire from heaven and earth and re-forge them before it could condense the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya. Once cultivated, magical powers would naturally emerge. It's not like me, where I can just devour a strange fire and then have a magical power."

"According to the speculation of the person in the simulation, perhaps it's because the Daluo Golden Flame is too compatible with the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya, or perhaps it's because of its special ability to temper the Dharmakaya, which caused my Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya to accidentally take a different path."

"For an ordinary Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya to be promoted to the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya, one must first use the Ten Thousand Flames to temper the Dharmakaya, then devour the Ten Thousand Flames to nurture supernatural powers, and finally become the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya that is said to control the Ten Thousand Flames."

"As for my Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya, it first devours the strange fire and then breeds magical powers. Once the magical powers are formed, the original Dharmakaya cannot withstand the power of the second magical power and is blown apart from the inside out. After it is broken and then rebuilt, a stronger Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya is obtained."

"There's no doubt that this second path I'm taking is extremely dangerous. If I'm not careful, I'll be finished. But it also has its advantages. I can choose my own magical powers."

"The magical powers born from the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya are closely related to the strange fire it consumes. The stronger the strange fire, the stronger the magical powers it breeds."

"However, after the Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya was tempered with the Ten Thousand Fires, the direction of the magical power that was born was completely random. Before cultivation was completed, no one knew what kind of magical power their Ten Thousand Flames Dharmakaya would awaken."

"Maybe it's an offensive magical power, a defensive magical power, or a body movement magical power..."

"It's all a matter of luck."

"But my advancement path can devour a strange fire and give birth to a magical power. I can completely independently decide the direction of the magical power that may be born from my Dharma body next."

"The only drawback is the danger. Also, the strange fires consumed must be stronger than the last one. Only in this way can the Heavenly Flame Dharma Body continue to advance."

"The Daluo Golden Flame is already the best fire seed of the Supreme Realm. Next time I want to advance my Heavenly Flame Dharma Body, I can only choose to devour the Earth Supreme Level Strange Fire."

“So, in the simulation, I never made the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya advance again until I died.”

Lu Chen pondered the message on the inheritance jade slip. There was no doubt that the content of this inheritance would be of great help to him now.

It not only pointed out the next advancement route for his Dharma body, but also included a series of precious classics such as the first of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire and the Ancient River Pharmacopoeia, as well as various experiences and lessons learned in cultivation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the simulated self is simply a mentor and friend to my current self.

After opening up new uses for the simulator, even if there is no one to guide you in the future, you can still reach the top with your own guidance in the future, which greatly reduces the possibility of going astray.

After writing down the contents of the inheritance jade slip, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and finally decided to practice the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, a secret method that could temporarily enhance his strength.

Although the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is an extremely powerful supernatural power, the first transformation is only at the level of the Great Perfection Divine Art, and it can also be practiced in the Supreme Realm.

Only when it reaches the second transformation, the power of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is increased to the level of minor supernatural powers, and only then is the strength of the Earth Supreme required to practice it.

In this vast world, above divine arts are the abstruse and mysterious magical powers. Only the Supreme Being on Earth can master the means of that level.

If one practices forcibly at the Supreme Realm, it will cause the meridians to be severed, the Supreme Sea to collapse and death. Even the Ninth Rank Supreme, who is only one step away from the Earth Supreme, can only practice some incomplete magical powers.

Supernatural powers have always been synonymous with the most powerful people on earth.

……

A few days later, in the main hall of Jiuyou Palace.

After the fight at Daluo Jinchi, everyone from Jiuyou Palace gathered together again.

Jiuyou naturally sat in the first seat.

Lu Chen and the two sisters of the Tang family sat on both sides of her, while Lin Jing sat on Lu Chen's right.

At this time, Tang Bing was holding a scroll that recorded various recent information about the cities under the Nine Nether Palace. She said with a serious face, "Three days ago, another thirteen cities under my Nine Nether Palace declared their independence and joined the Blood Eagle Palace."

"Today, there are less than fifty cities under the jurisdiction of my Jiuyou Palace, and most of these cities are in a wait-and-see state, and the tributes they submit each year are getting smaller and smaller."

"I think it's necessary to knock one or two."

Hearing this, Jiuyou's pretty face was calm. She turned to look at Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, what do you think?"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Knocking won't solve the problem."

"The key lies in the Blood Eagle Palace."

"Over the years, the rise of the Blood Eagle Palace and the decline of my Nine Nether Palace have been witnessed by all. No one is a fool. With the Great Hunt about to begin, everyone knows that relying on the strong will give them a better chance of survival and a brighter future."

"If we just keep on beating them, we might just play into the Blood Eagle Palace's hands and cause those city lords to become alienated from us."

"I believe that the most urgent task now is to demonstrate the strength of our Jiuyou Palace, rally the people, and strengthen our Jiuyou Palace so that we can better prepare for the upcoming great hunting war."

As soon as the words fell, not only Jiuyou's eyes lit up, but even Tang Bing nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Chen's statement.

She continued, "In that case, how can we demonstrate the strength of our Jiuyou Palace?"

"My Nine Nether Palace now has one Third-Rank Supreme, one Second-Rank Supreme, and two First-Rank Supremes. With such strength, I'm afraid some powerful cities would not bother to join our Nine Nether Palace, let alone unite their people."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Strength is not measured by paper data, but by fighting. Since they all think that my Jiuyou Palace is weak, let's kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Choose a chicken that is not weak and beat them to show them."

"By then, it will naturally stabilize people's hearts and attract other cities to join us."

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Hearing this, Lin Jing, who was yawning with boredom, suddenly became alert and said excitedly, "Are we going to fight? Lu Chen, I'm also in the Supreme Realm, I can help too, add me in."

Hearing this, Jiuyou frowned and turned to look at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly at her and smiled at Lin Jing, "Yes, there is indeed a fight going on. If you want to go, that's fine. It's not very dangerous this time anyway. It's a good opportunity for us to go together and see for ourselves."

"Who to hit?"

Hearing that Lu Chen agreed, Lin Jing rubbed his fists, looking eager to try.

Jiuyou and the two sisters of the Tang family also looked at Lu Chen with burning eyes, waiting for his reply.

Lu Chen smiled, a gleam in his eyes, and said in a joking tone: "Of course it's our old rival, the Blood Eagle Palace..."

"We need to let them know that not everyone can take advantage of my Nine Nether Palace..."
