Chapter 196 Another Simulation: The Holy Son of the Floating Pagoda Kills Mu Chen Again!

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

[Successfully selected, you can choose one of the following three identities]

[First, a descendant of the Spirit Insect Clan—You are a descendant of one of the three main lineages of the Spirit Insect Clan: Feather, Scale, and Insect. Although you belong to the main lineage, your bloodline is thin, resulting in a low status within the clan.]

[Second, Disciple of Thunder God Palace—You are an entry-level disciple of Thunder God Palace, a super power in the Great Thousand World. It is said that Thunder God Palace inherits the lineage of Thunder Emperor, one of the Nine Ancient Emperors. The current Palace Master once fought against a Heavenly Supreme with the cultivation of a Quasi-Heavenly Supreme, shaking the Great Thousand World.]

[Third, Young Master of the Floating Pagoda—You are the son of Mo Tong, the head of the Mo Clan, one of the three main branches of the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan. You possess the innate talent of seven divine veins, and in terms of aptitude, you are in no way inferior to your elder brother, Mo Xin. Therefore, you have been chosen as a candidate for Holy Son of the Mo Clan.]

Please make your choice——

"hiss……"

"The money has been withdrawn..."

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. He glanced at the three options and quickly weighed them in his mind.

"Although the Spirit Insect Clan is an ancient race in the Great Thousand World, this identity is not the best choice. Not only is their bloodline thin and their status low, but even in the Great Thousand World, their reputation is far inferior to that of powerful spirit races such as the Ice Spirit Clan and the Flame Spirit Clan. The entire clan probably only has one Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign in charge, and its foundation is ultimately limited."

"Thunder God Palace inherits the lineage of Thunder Emperor. The Palace Master is able to fight against a Heavenly Supreme with the cultivation of a Quasi-Heavenly Supreme, which shows his strength is indeed formidable. However, as far as I know, when the Heavenly Evil God was rampaging, no Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme level being emerged from Thunder God Palace."

"It is evident that the Thunder Emperor's legacy he obtained is incomplete, and the sect's foundation may only be supported by one or even a few Supreme Elders at the Heavenly Sovereign level."

"But it's still a good option. Normally, such a strong foundation would be enough for me to make a choice."

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened, then fell on the last item, his eyes suddenly bursting with an undisguised fervor.

"But the third option is the real big fish! The son of the leader of the Futu Ancient Clan and the Mo Clan..."

"Mo Tong, the leader of the Mo Mai lineage, is one of the most promising top experts of the Futu Ancient Clan after the Great Elder Futu Xuan and the Holy Maiden Qing Yanjing! His status is esteemed and his power is immense. To become his son and possess the potential of the Seven Divine Veins is a starting point far superior to the previous two options!"

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and without the slightest hesitation, he shouted in a deep voice:

"I choose the third option, Young Master of the Floating Pagoda!"

[Selection successful! Identity loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

[In the first year, you were born. As the head of the Mo lineage of the Futu Ancient Clan, Mo Tong had countless maids to sleep with each year for the sake of the clan's continuation, but few children were born.]

[Your birth brought Mo Tong great joy. At the moment of your birth, your mother was appointed one of the two matriarchs of the Mo lineage. Mo Tong personally expended vast resources and utilized various rare and precious objects to forcibly elevate your mother's cultivation from the Supreme Realm to the Earthly Supreme Realm.]

From the moment of your birth, your name has been engraved on the supreme clan monument of the Futu Ancient Clan, and from then on you will enjoy unparalleled glory and honor!

[In the first month, you were born with precocious intelligence. While still in your mother's womb, your father used the peerless elixir—the Nine Apertures Heaven-Opening Pill—to refine your constitution and solidify your foundation, greatly enhancing your innate aptitude.]

[By the second month, you had mastered numerous survival skills without any formal instruction, including eating, drinking, relieving yourself, running, jumping, and singing. You continued to temper your physique and refine your constitution by soaking daily in medicinal baths made with rare and precious herbs such as millennia-old earth's core milk and dragon's blood mushroom.]

[By the third month, your physical strength had reached a level comparable to that of an ordinary Divine Soul Realm cultivator, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards. You now prefer to drink the milk of the Azure Spirit Ox, a creature from the Three Heavens Realm. This milk contains pure energy that gently nourishes your body and nascent spiritual power.]

[In the fourth month, you suddenly felt a burning sensation in your eyes while gazing at things casually. Your innate spiritual energy began to circulate autonomously, unexpectedly awakening a special physique—the Crimson Eyes of Heaven. These eyes can see through illusions and perceive the true nature of things; even the concealed aura of a supreme earthly being cannot escape your perception.]

[In the fifth month, your father, Mo Tong, was overjoyed to learn that you had awakened your Crimson Eye and showered your mother with affection. You, in turn, were rewarded with a whole tub of Azure Spirit Ox milk…]

[The following year, your father, Mo Tong, disregarded the once-every-five-years grand test at the Spirit Vein Hall and tested your spiritual veins ahead of schedule. You were found to have seven divine veins, and he was overjoyed. In his capacity as the head of the veins, he hosted a grand Spirit Vein Banquet for you, inviting high-ranking members of all the clan's lineages.]

[Upon learning the news, your elder brother Mo Xin specially returned to the Floating Pagoda Continent from his training in the outside world, bringing you an incomparably precious "Guardian Soul-Nourishing Jade." This jade, placed in your sea of ​​consciousness, can protect your soul and nourish and strengthen your divine spirit.]

[The head of the Xuanmai lineage, Xuan Guang, personally delivered a "Bodhi Tree Seed," a seed from an ancient Bodhi tree. Wearing it can aid in enlightenment, dispel inner demons, and greatly benefit one's future ascension to the Heavenly Supreme Realm.]

[Qingmai's leader, Qingtian, bestowed upon him a "Spirit of Ten Thousand Years of Grass and Trees," a spiritual entity condensed from the essence of ten thousand years of grass and trees. Pure and unparalleled, it can be refined as a top-tier divine soul, greatly enhancing its potential and resilience.]

Elder Mo You of the Ink Vein bestows upon you a "Void Escape Shuttle," a high-level sacred artifact capable of tearing through short-distance space, used for survival and escape...

The elders of the other branches also presented generous gifts, including numerous elixirs, supernatural powers, and sacred artifacts. The entire Ink Clan was immersed in immense joy and anticipation because of your unparalleled talent.

[In the third year, your father taught you the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, the clan's most treasured cultivation method. As a late-stage Celestial Supreme, your father's cultivation was unfathomable, and his understanding of the technique was unparalleled. Under his meticulous guidance, your progress was rapid.]

[In the fourth year, your cultivation broke through to the Transformation Realm, and you began to study the core inheritance of the Ancient Buddha Clan under the guidance of the Ink Pupil System. You have successively mastered three top-grade divine spiritual techniques from the "Spiritual Techniques Chapter"—the Floating Buddha Mountain-Suppressing Seal, the Vajra Floating Buddha Hand, and the Floating Buddha Demon-Sealing Finger. These three spiritual techniques are extremely powerful; any one of them, when mastered to its fullest extent, is comparable to a true divine art.]

[In the fifth year, your cultivation broke through to the Heavenly Realm. Your father began to teach you the Way of Spiritual Arrays. Although he was a Celestial Supreme of the Immortal Rank, his mastery of spiritual arrays had not yet reached its peak; he was merely a high-level Spiritual Array Grandmaster, not yet reaching the realm of a Grandmaster of Spiritual Arrays comparable to a Celestial Supreme.]

Even so, he still decided to personally enlighten you on the path of spirit arrays.

[You systematically learned basic spirit array knowledge from him, and even mastered the methods of constructing and combining various spirit arrays. Only now do you realize that the fundamental gap between a level 5 spirit array master and a spirit array grandmaster lies in the understanding and mastery of combining spirit arrays.]

Only by comprehending one's own unique combination of spirit arrays from the vast arrays, or by thoroughly mastering the powerful combinations of spirit arrays passed down from predecessors, can one break through the barriers and achieve the true realm of a spirit array master.

[In the sixth year, thanks to your exceptional talent, abundant resources, and the strict guidance of your father, you successfully broke through your bottleneck and stepped into the Supreme Realm, becoming one of the youngest Supremes in the history of the Ancient Buddha Clan.]

[Mo Tong has extremely high expectations for you, and has imparted to you the Great Floating Pagoda Dharma Body, the precursor to the Endless Light Body, one of the five primordial Dharma Bodies, the clan's guardian dharma body of the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan.] [He frankly tells you: Cultivating the Great Floating Pagoda Dharma Body is extremely difficult, and can only be achieved by those with great perseverance and talent. Looking at the younger generation of the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan, only Xuanmai Saint Son Xuan Luo has succeeded in cultivating it so far. Your elder brother Mo Xin also tried, but ultimately failed, suffering severe injuries. After several years of recuperation, he had to switch to cultivating the Great Netherworld Dharma Body, which ranks lower.]

[You naturally felt no fear about this and resolutely chose to cultivate the Great Floating Pagoda Dharma Body.]

Months later, after countless hardships, you finally succeeded in initially condensing this extremely difficult-to-cultivate Dharma Body, thanks to your exceptional talent and unwavering will! When that crystal Dharma Body of endless light emerged from your body, even your father, Mo Tong, revealed undisguised satisfaction and awe in his eyes.

[The news of your successful attainment of the Great Floating Pagoda Dharma Body quickly spread throughout the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan, causing a great sensation. Overjoyed, Mo Tong personally sought out two incomparably precious Great Perfection divine techniques as a reward for you.]

[Firstly, there is the technique called "Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light." This technique requires drawing upon the might of the blazing sun and infusing it with the true meaning of annihilation. Its power is vast and boundless, perfectly matching your awakened "Crimson Eye of Heaven" talent. Wherever this divine light shines, all things return to stillness; it can be considered a supreme eye technique capable of destroying everything.]

Secondly, there is the "Floating Pagoda Prison-Suppressing Fist," an incomparably powerful and peerless fist technique. To cultivate this technique, one must draw upon the unique "Floating Pagoda Fire" nurtured within the Floating Pagoda to temper the fist's intent. Each punch unleashed contains the terrifying power to suppress purgatory and incinerate the entire world.

【These two divine arts, when mastered to their fullest potential, are comparable to true supernatural powers, making them extremely precious even within the entire Ancient Buddha Clan. Moreover, they are perfectly suited to you, allowing you to progress by leaps and bounds in your cultivation.】

[In the seventh year, your cultivation reached the fourth rank of Supreme. You began to plan for your future in this world. You asked your father if it was possible to strip away the nine divine meridians born into a person and transplant them into oneself.]

[Your father solemnly tells you that spirit vein transplantation is a major taboo in the clan, an offense against the natural order. Transplantation within the same clan, relying on bloodline resonance, has a 30% chance of success; but forcibly seizing the spirit vein of an outsider has an extremely low success rate, and is tantamount to suicide.]

[You did not give up. Instead, you took out the method for creating a different kind of fire vein that you had previously obtained and asked it: If you use this method as a foundation and then use your father's immortal-grade Floating Pagoda Fire as an aid, is it possible to artificially condense a divine vein?]

[Mo Tong carefully examined this extraordinary technique, a look of immense shock flashing across his eyes. After a long silence, he slowly shook his head. He explained to you that the Futu Ancient Clan had a history spanning tens of thousands of years, and possessed numerous secret methods for transplanting and transforming various spiritual veins.]

According to the oldest records in the clan, the number of spiritual veins a cultivator can bear in their lifetime is fixed: before reaching the Supreme Realm, they can bear a maximum of one spiritual vein; after advancing to the Supreme Realm, they can attempt to bear a second; and upon entering the Earthly Supreme Realm, they have the opportunity to bear a third.

Once one breaks through to the Heavenly Sovereign level, all the spiritual veins within the body will completely merge with oneself, transforming into unique spiritual vein abilities. At that point, no further transplantation or addition will be possible.

He stated that even with his best efforts to weaken the Floating Pagoda Fire, the separated sub-fires would at least be at the Earthly Sovereign Realm. Neither the Sovereign Realm nor the Earthly Sovereign Realm could withstand its power, making the attempt to forge a divine vein using this method unimaginably difficult.

[You asked again, if one were to forge a different kind of fire vein using the Floating Pagoda Fire of an Earthly Sovereign, would there be any chance of achieving a divine vein?]

Your father pondered for a moment, but did not answer you immediately.

In the eighth year, he personally captured several powerful individuals at the Earthly Sovereign level and began rigorously testing the method of the Strange Fire Spirit Vein using Supreme-level Floating Pagoda Fire, Earthly Sovereign-level Floating Pagoda Fire, and Heavenly Sovereign Sub-Fire.

After repeated attempts, the results gradually became clear: using Supreme-level Floating Pagoda Fire to shape a spiritual vein could ultimately result in a stable Level 4 Earth Vein; if Supreme-level Earth Floating Pagoda Fire was used as the core, it was hoped that an even more powerful Level 5 Heaven Vein could be shaped; and if the Floating Pagoda Fire originated from the pure bloodline of the Holy Floating Pagoda, there was even a glimmer of hope to shape a Level 6 Heaven Vein.

However, once the Heavenly Sovereign level of the Floating Pagoda Sub-Fire was used, its power was too domineering and terrifying. Without exception, all the Earthly Sovereigns suffered complete physical destruction, and some even perished on the spot. No one was able to successfully bear the spiritual veins formed by the Sub-Fire.

Despite this, your father, Mo Tong, is still very satisfied with the result. After all, being able to stably create a level five Heavenly Vein already means that it is possible to mass-produce cultivators with the potential of an Earthly Sovereign.

[Those with such talent, even within the ancient Futu clan, would be qualified to serve as respectable servants or guards, securing a vast amount of cultivation resources and influence for the Mo lineage.]

[In the ninth year, your cultivation broke through to the sixth rank of Supreme Being. Your cultivation speed has already subtly surpassed that of your elder brother, Mo Xin, who reached the Great Perfection of Earthly Supreme Being at the age of twenty-something. Your father, Mo Tong, places high hopes on you, stating that once you achieve the position of Earthly Supreme Being, you will become the new Holy Son of the Mo lineage.]

Although your eldest brother, Mo Xin, was quite dissatisfied with this, he did not openly express it due to Father's authority and your talent.

[In the tenth year, your cultivation advanced further, successfully breaking through to the seventh-rank Supreme. In the final year of the simulation, you decided to take a gamble. You recorded what you had learned over the past ten years into the inheritance jade slip and persuaded your father to grant you permission to go out under the guise of training.]

Although Mo Tong felt it was risky, he couldn't dissuade you from your insistence. To ensure everything went smoothly, he specially dispatched a Grand Perfection Earthly Sovereign to protect you.

[Subsequently, you successfully located Mu Chen and, citing your Crimson Eye of Heaven, reported to your father, Mo Tong, that you had discovered a powerful spiritual vein within Mu Chen's body.]

[Upon learning of this, Mo Tong personally descended and, upon investigation, was shocked to confirm that it was indeed the Eight Divine Veins left behind by Qing Yanjing! Faced with immense temptation, the two of you discussed the matter and ultimately decided to take the risk and seize the spiritual veins.]

Just in case, knowing the plot well, you inform your father to inspect and reinforce the protective array of the Futu Ancient Clan, hoping to prevent an accident from occurring.

[Your father followed your advice and actually discovered a very well-hidden loophole in the clan's protective formation. He immediately reported this to the Grand Elder, Futu Xuan. Futu Xuan was furious upon hearing the news and immediately went to the ancestral tower to question Qing Yanjing.]

[Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your father acted decisively, successfully stripping Mu Chen of the Eight Divine Meridians and transplanting them into you.]

However, at that very moment, deep within the ancestral land of the Futu Ancient Clan, Qing Yanjing suddenly sensed the breaking of the divine vein seal! Enraged, she forcefully broke through Futu Xuan's suppression and the great formation's blockade, instantly appearing beside Mu Chen!

Enraged, Qing Yanjing uttered, "I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong," and unleashed a palm strike filled with hatred! Under this palm strike, even your father's Celestial Supreme cultivation and your Great Perfection Earthly Supreme protector beside you were utterly powerless, like ants, instantly annihilated, body and soul!

[Your father, elder brother, mother, and you—your entire family—were sent to the Yellow Springs by Qing Yanjing's single palm strike.]

【you are dead! 】

[This simulation ends——]

You can choose one of the following three items.

【1. Celestial Spirit Ox's Beast Milk (Transcendent Level)】

[Part Two, Your Inheritance Jade Slip]

[Three, Qingyanjing's Eight Divine Meridians]
