Chapter 181 Simulation Again: The Flame Spirit Clan Enters the Endless Fire Domain Once More!
After resting for a while,

Inside the alchemy room, Yao Chen pulled Xiao Yan aside and began to carefully examine and review the various key points and gains and losses in the process of refining the Spirit-Nourishing Powder.

Lu Yu quietly got up and slowly walked out of the alchemy room. He nodded slightly to Venerable Tianhuo, who was guarding outside, and simply instructed, "Elder Yao, I need to recuperate for a while. Do not let anyone disturb me."

Venerable Tianhuo's expression hardened, and he solemnly nodded in agreement.

Lu Yu then found a secluded stone chamber and sat down cross-legged. He took out a warm Soul Nourishing Pill and swallowed it. Then, he gently closed his eyes, his hand seals quietly changed, and his aura gradually became calm and condensed.

The immense soul power was slowly receding and being nurtured as if drawn by a force, and the energy depleted from the previous alchemy was recovering at an astonishing rate.

In less than half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, his soul power had returned to its peak. Without further hesitation, with a slight thought, a soft, pale blue light screen silently unfolded before him.

"Start simulation."

Lu Yu took a deep breath, silently recited a mantra, and the light screen in front of him instantly changed.

[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host...]

[Selection successful. Please choose one of the following roles.]

[One, a member of the Wen family of the Northern Region—You are a member of a branch of the Wen family, a super power in the Great Thousand World. You have been intelligent and studious since childhood, with outstanding talent in spirit arrays. As a result, you were chosen by the main branch to be the study companion of Wen Ziyu, the candidate young master of the Wen family in this generation.]

[Second, the last surviving member of a demon-slaying family—You were born into the Lu family, a demon-slaying family under the Great Thousand Palace branch of the Holy Abyss Continent. As the eldest son of the direct line, you were raised by your father's old friend—a mid-level demon slayer—after both your parents perished in a demon-slaying mission.]

[Third, Descendant of the Flame Spirit Clan—You are a descendant of a branch of the ancient Flame Spirit Clan. Although you live in the vast world, your mother's love affair with someone from another race has led to severe discrimination within your clan, and your status is precarious.]

Please make your choice——

Lu Yu's gaze swept over the three options, and without any hesitation, he quickly locked onto the third option—descendant of the Flame Spirit Clan.

This was not the first time he had encountered this identity in a simulation. In the last simulation, he navigated the internal conflicts of the Flame Spirit Clan as a descendant of the Flame Spirit Clan, not only successfully establishing himself but also discovering the potential of a divine vein through the method of shaping the strange fire spiritual vein.

Although the Yanling Clan is gradually declining due to internal strife over bloodline issues, it is still a well-established, powerful Heavenly Sovereign-level force with a deep foundation, and is far better than emerging forces like the Wen family in the Northern Region.

"As for Demon Slayers, according to the Great Thousand Palace's classification, only Earthly Sovereigns can become Demon Slayers. The lowest-level Demon Slayers are all Lower Earthly Sovereigns. The intermediate-level Demon Slayers, advanced-level Demon Slayers, and even Demon Kings require real Demon Slayer Points to advance."

In comparison, the Flame Spirit Clan's identity, which, despite its initial difficulties, directly targets resources and secret teachings at the Heavenly Sovereign level, is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

"I choose three."

Lu Yu no longer hesitated and made a decisive choice.

[Selection successful! Identity loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

[In your first year, you are six years old. You possess a naturally occurring Heavenly-level spiritual vein, a rare talent, considered quite remarkable even among ancient races. For a better cultivation environment, your mother wishes to take you back to the main branch of the Flame Spirit Clan to obtain better resources.]

Having learned from your previous simulation experience, you stopped your mother from doing this and told her that even without the resources of the main branch, you could still rise to prominence in the branch!

You know full well that in this world, cultivation techniques are the foundation of cultivation. After careful consideration, you ultimately chose the "Burning Technique," a technique with boundless potential yet extremely dangerous, and resolutely embarked on the path of devouring all flames.

[Subsequently, you began frantically searching for and devouring various beast fires and low-level exotic fires, feeding on fire to refine your essence, and your cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.]

[In the second year, you successfully absorbed the primordial beast fire of the "Azure Flame Flood Dragon," and the immense fire attribute energy poured into your dantian, helping you break through to the Divine Soul Realm in one fell swoop!]

[In the second month, you refined another "Stone Heart Flame" born from the earth's core lava, further advancing your cultivation and reaching the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm.]

[In the third month, you narrowly subdued a wisp of "Earth Lung Poison Fire" deep within the volcano. Although the process was perilous, the gains were immense. With its violent energy, you successfully entered the Heavenly Fusion Realm, and your spiritual power and spirituality also increased significantly.]

[In the third year, you have absorbed and refined no fewer than ten kinds of strange flames, and your cultivation has naturally progressed, breaking through to the Transformation Realm. Realizing the importance of a strong foundation, you decided to temporarily halt your absorption of flames and instead focus on refining your spiritual power, solidifying your foundation, and also began cultivating the physical technique—the Heaven-Burning Glazed Body.]

[In the fourth year, your arduous training reaped a bountiful harvest. Your cultivation broke through to the Heavenly Realm, and your Heavenly Blazing Body entered the Heavenly Blazing Realm, making your physical strength comparable to that of a spirit beast of the same level. Just as the branch's annual minor competition began, you resolutely chose to participate.]

[In the preliminary competition, you relied on your masterful "Five-Wheel Fire Formation" to trap your opponents, your unparalleled "Four Symbols Sword Finger" to break through their defenses, and your overwhelmingly powerful "Great Luo Heavenly Flame Sword" to secure victory. You fought your way through the competition undefeated and ultimately won the preliminary competition championship without any suspense!]

[Your reward is a strange flame sealed within a specially crafted jade bottle—its color is pure gold, its sharpness unparalleled, and it possesses extremely strong tearing and penetrating properties. It is a unique flame born only after being nurtured for thousands of years deep within the earth's core by a large amount of rare metals at extremely high temperatures, and it is named "Gilded Rift Flame"!]

[In the fifth year, you successfully fused six kinds of beast fire and five kinds of exotic fire, using these eleven flames as a foundation to forge a level five celestial vein. This vein complements your original level six celestial vein, causing your cultivation speed to skyrocket.]

[Within a single year, you have overcome the three major hurdles of physical strength, spiritual power, and divine soul with unstoppable momentum, achieving the Supreme Realm and becoming a Supreme powerhouse at the young age of eleven! Your reputation has spread throughout the entire branch, and you are reverently called "Little Flame King" by your clansmen.]

This astonishing achievement has made you the undisputed young master of this lineage. The clan has poured vast resources into you, bestowing upon you enough to support your cultivation to the seventh rank of Supreme Being, a powerful high-grade divine artifact, the "Crimson Sun Mirror," and assigning a powerful Earth Supreme-level expert as your personal bodyguard to ensure your safety. After consolidating your strength and status, based on your memories from the previous simulation, you set off for the Hundred Spirits Continent and found the Nine Nether Sparrow, which was at a critical stage of evolution.

[You successfully obtained the crucial Undying Flame in exchange for assisting its evolution. After breaking through to the Supreme Realm, you vaguely sensed that you possessed the foundation to forge a second Different Flame Spirit Vein.]

However, since you already possess a top-tier Heavenly Meridian, hastily forging another might cause conflict. Therefore, you decided to postpone this matter and first refine the Undying Flame. Ultimately, you successfully integrated the Undying Flame into your body, and your cultivation level broke through to the Second Grade Supreme.

Afterwards, you kept your promise and returned to your clan with Jiuyou, who had successfully evolved and greatly increased in strength.

Your return, especially the eleven-year-old Supreme and the illustrious reputation of the "Little Flame King," has made you the hope of the entire branch. The branch's leadership unanimously recommends you to represent them at the Flame Spirit Clan's main branch ceremony—a grand event that gathers the clan's young geniuses and determines resource allocation and status, marking a century-long tradition.

In the sixth year, you carried the hopes of the entire branch as you stepped onto the arena of the Flame Spirit Clan's main branch grand ceremony. You advanced triumphantly, easily defeating a host of opponents with overwhelming strength in the first round of melee, including the son of a main branch elder, displaying your exceptional talent.

However, your dazzling performance offended the son of the main branch elder whom you defeated in a single blow.

On the eve of the second round, you were unexpectedly disqualified. The elder, along with his cronies, framed you with trumped-up charges.

They claim you practiced evil arts that violated clan rules, and presented carefully prepared "evidence," exaggerating your mother's marriage to someone from another clan, accusing you of having impure blood, a questionable identity, and being completely unqualified to represent your branch in the ceremony.

They abused their power, distorted the truth, and ultimately, under the guise of "maintaining clan rules and the purity of bloodlines," forcibly disqualified you from the competition. You possessed unparalleled talent and overwhelming strength, yet you ultimately lost to a contest outside the competition itself.

[In the seventh year, the resentful Jiuyou led you away from the main branch of the Yanling Clan. Under Jiuyou's guidance, you traveled to the Tianluo Continent. With your formidable strength comparable to a fifth-grade Supreme, you gained the recognition of Mandala, the Lord of the Northern Region's Great Luo Heaven Domain, and were bestowed the title of the Tenth King of the Great Luo Heaven Domain—Flame King!]

During this time, you made some inquiries and learned that Mu Chen, the young man from the Northern Spirit Realm, had also arrived in the Great Luo Heaven Domain and joined the ranks of the Asura King, one of the Nine Kings, becoming a commander of the Asura Palace.

[In the eighth year, the grand event of the Great Luo Heavenly Realm—the contest for the Great Luo Golden Pool—officially begins. As a renowned treasure land throughout the entire Northern Realm, the Great Luo Golden Pool possesses the miraculous effect of tempering one's Dharma body and solidifying one's foundation, making it an opportunity you must seize.]

[In the midst of the struggle, you encounter Mu Chen. You know he possesses the inheritance of the Great Sun Undying Body, a crucial supplement for your cultivation of the Sword Sun Undying Body. Without hesitation, you activate your Dharma Body, three dazzling sword suns rising behind you, their sword intent chilling, engaging in a fierce clash with Mu Chen's nascent Great Sun Undying Body.]

After an earth-shattering battle, you ultimately prevailed, defeating Mu Chen's Great Sun Undying Body and forcibly seizing and refining a wisp of Great Sun Origin Power that he had painstakingly cultivated!

[After absorbing this wisp of origin, your Sword Sun Undying Body broke through once again, successfully condensing a fourth Sword Sun behind you, and your Dharma Body's power surged! Meanwhile, Mu Chen's Dharma Body was destroyed, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death, forcing him to withdraw from the battle.]

[In the ninth year, your cultivation successfully broke through to the sixth-rank Supreme level. Furthermore, you integrated all your life's learning, mastering numerous fire-based divine arts, and created a supremely powerful divine art—the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Sword Technique!]

[In the same year, you participated in the most prestigious battle of geniuses in the Northern Realm—the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Competition. In this grand event, relying on your sixth-grade supreme cultivation far surpassing your peers and your incomparably powerful Sword Sun Undying Body, you swept through the competition, invincible, with no one able to withstand even a single blow from you.]

Not long after, you quietly slipped out of Dragon Phoenix Heaven and lay in ambush outside, ambushing a stunningly beautiful woman—none other than Xiao Xiao, the daughter of Emperor Yan.

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years. The humiliation I suffered in the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven during the last simulation will be settled today!

[The two of you engaged in a fierce battle in the desolate mountains beyond the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven. Your spiritual techniques clashed, creating dazzling light; your physical bodies collided, and your energy swept in all directions. Xiao Xiao, as the daughter of the Flame Emperor, possessed profound knowledge and effortlessly wielded various powerful divine techniques.]

However, with your mastery of the "Nine Yang Burning Heaven Sword Technique" at its peak and your Sword Yang Undying Body, your strength surpasses hers. After an earth-shattering battle, you ultimately prevail by a single move, successfully subduing her.

Afterwards, Xiao Xiao harbored no resentment over the defeat; on the contrary, she greatly admired the strength and potential you displayed. On behalf of the Endless Fire Domain, she extended a sincere invitation to you, hoping you would join this legendary territory created by her father and home to countless alchemists.

After careful consideration, you finally accepted Xiao Xiao's invitation and decided to leave the Great Luo Heaven Domain for the vast Endless Fire Domain.

[In the tenth year, you joined the Endless Fire Domain and were received by its matriarch, Cai Lin. She showed great interest in you, a young man whom even her proud and arrogant daughter admired and personally introduced.]

After careful consideration, Cai Lin greatly admires the potential you have demonstrated and has decided to bestow upon you a generous gift to show the Endless Fire Domain's high regard for you.

[You have thus gained the qualification to cultivate in the lower level of the "Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower" for one year. There, you will find a fire-gathering spirit array personally set up by Emperor Yan Xiao Yan, where the concentration of fire-attribute spiritual energy is unparalleled in the Great Thousand Worlds.]

[At the same time, you also received a rubbing of the "Record of Ten Thousand Fires," a handwritten notebook that records Emperor Yan's early insights and fusion techniques for various different types of fire, as well as three "Nine-Grade Fire Bodhi Pills" personally refined by the Medicine Saint Yao Chen. These pills have a miraculous effect on strengthening the foundation and breaking through bottlenecks for those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques at the Supreme Realm.]

With these resources, your cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds, progressing by thousands of miles a day...

[This simulation ends——]

You can choose one of the following three items.

【Part One, The Record of Ten Thousand Fires】

Second, Grade Nine Fire Bodhi Pill (Supreme Level)

【Third, Crimson Sun Mirror (Superior Divine Artifact)】
