Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 918: Chapter 487: Eighth Life: Killing Body and Mind, One Sword Godslaying!

"What kind of Sword Dao is this? To be able to sever the Essence, Qi, and Spirit within others’ techniques?"

"Furthermore, if I’m not mistaken, this technique seems to have unique aspects in Heart Refining as well."

The shabby old man who was dozing off saw this scene and immediately sat upright, no longer possessing that previous lazy and casual demeanor.

The Impure Observation of their Purifying Spirit Hall also primarily focuses on Heart Cultivation.

By visualizing the various filth and impurities within one’s own and others’ bodies, one can eliminate cravings and desires.

However, this technique is a double-edged sword. If a cultivator’s will is weak, they can easily be twisted by various filthy desires, leading to inner demons.

Yet in the perception of the shabby old man.

The Sword Dao cultivated by Lu Yuan is even more extreme than Impure Observation.

Using the heart as a sword, it cuts off all kinds of desires and obsessions from within.

Either succeed or sacrifice oneself.

With the slightest carelessness, one faces annihilation with no crafty way out.

For such a deviation, Sword Dao only those with utmost sincerity and singularity of purpose could cultivate it.

"Father was right, your swordsmanship is already nearing the level of Dao. I cannot compete with you; I admit defeat this time."

Su Rhyme retracted her longsword, respectfully saluting Lu Yuan, straightforwardly admitting defeat.

The great battle ended, and Lu Yuan turned to leave the arena.

However, as he returned to his position, Luo Xin and the others excitedly gathered around.

"As expected, Brother Lu Yuan’s talent is extraordinary; with just one stroke, he astonished everyone. It seems the Inner Sect Leader title is surely in Brother Lu Yuan’s grasp."

Ye Chuan and others admired him.

In the path of cultivation, the strong are revered.

And the Supreme Swordsmanship that Lu Yuan demonstrated is a mastery that leaves everyone in awe, banishing any trace of arrogance or disdain.

"Tang Rhyme was already an exceptional talent, one of the most qualified among this generation to capture the Inner Sect Leader title, but she was defeated by you in a single blow. No wonder Master holds you in such high regard."

Luo Xin’s eyes shone brightly, marveling.

"You all jest. Lu Mou merely had good luck."

Facing everyone’s praise, Lu Yuan simply smiled faintly, not overly excited.

He possessed the experience of many lifetimes, defeating countless Venerables and Celestial Emperor strong persons.

Now he merely overcame an Inner Sect prodigy, hardly worth boasting about.

Meanwhile.

When Lu Yuan effortlessly defeated Su Rhyme.

On the high platform, Zhao Family Ancestor, whose eyes were always cast down, finally opened a slit and glanced at Law Enforcement Hall Master Yan Xing seated beside him.

Perceiving Zhao Family Ancestor’s gaze, Yan Xing immediately understood, using Divine Thought Power to transmit messages across the void.

"Supreme Elder, rest assured. Zhao Xu has refined the Blood Soul Saber to Great Success, capable of battling even Mid Soul Palace Stage power."

"Though this lad’s Sword Dao talent is remarkable, his cultivation is too low, making him no match for Zhao Xu."

"That’s for the best, as this generation’s true disciples are qualified to compete for Celestial Mandate Inheritance, absolutely no missteps allowed."

Zhao Family Ancestor’s voice was hoarse.

"Celestial Mandate Inheritance?"

Although Yan Xing had heard some rumors before, it was only now, hearing Zhao Family Ancestor affirm this, that he dared to believe its authenticity.

It’s well known.

When Soul Palace Realm experts undergo Nirvana Rebirth, they attain a new level of existence.

Their flesh body is powerful, their mind is strong, possessing the force to move mountains and overturn seas, indistinguishable from the legendary immortals.

Yet if Nirvana Realm experts advance further, they can become Celestial Fate Realm great powers!

Celestial Destiny great powers possess an exceedingly firm Dao Heart, believing themselves to be children of fortune, divinely favored, and capable of impacting reality through sheer will, with abilities that defy worldly understanding.

For example, a single word can redirect rivers, a single anger can change the color of the sky and earth, and they are immune to many divine techniques and magic.

For such beings, conventional attacks and swarm tactics pose no threat; only peer-level mental clashes can potentially injure them.

Across the entire Great Li Dynasty, only Taixuan Sect Ancestor and the Supreme Emperor of the Great Li Royal Family have vaguely touched upon the threshold of the Celestial Fate Realm.

And the Celestial Mandate Inheritance referred to by Zhao Family Ancestor is the cave mansion left behind by a Celestial Destiny great power before disappearing within the Great Li Dynasty territory.

This cave mansion opens once every ten years, housing countless exotic treasures.

Even a brief visit can yield unimaginable benefits.

If someone were to obtain even a fraction of the inheritance or cultivation technique within, they might achieve soaring success, becoming the strongest in the Great Li Dynasty!

"This Celestial Mandate Inheritance has a long history, as the Supreme Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty was once merely a commoner."

"But he had great fortune, accidentally obtaining a supreme inheritance from the Spirit Void Cave Mansion, elevating his cultivation rapidly. In just a few decades, he reached Nirvana Perfection Realm and seized the throne in one fell swoop."

Zhao Family Ancestor’s tone was complex.

In terms of age, he is actually a hundred years older than the Great Li Dynasty’s Supreme Emperor.

However, due to this creation, the Great Li Supreme Emperor saved hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, surpassing countless seasoned Nirvana Realm experts.

It goes to show.

The importance of the Spirit Void Cave Mansion’s inheritance.

"Rest assured, Supreme Elder, Zhao Xu’s talent is extraordinary. He will surely seize the Inner Sect Leader title and smoothly ascend to become the sect’s true inheritor."

Yan Xing heard the unwilling and regretful tone in Zhao Family Ancestor’s voice and promptly agreed.

Though he is the Law Enforcement Hall Master, his status and rank are far inferior compared to the Supreme Elder of Cyan Cloud Sect.

If he desires to become the Sect Master of Cyan Cloud Sect, Zhao Family Ancestor’s full support is indispensable.

"Do not worry. Though I am elderly, within the Cyan Cloud Sect, my words still carry weight."

"Xu’s path is different from mine, but akin to your Killing Dao. If you guide him diligently, the position of Sect Master will eventually be yours."

Zhao Family Ancestor finished speaking, slightly closing his eyes, seeming to fall back into a slumber.

"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for your nurturing!"

Joy flashed in Yan Xing’s eyes, and he resolved that no matter the cost, Zhao Xu must become the sect’s true inheritor this time.

"This Lu Yuan lad hasn’t shown his full power; merely relying on Zhao Xu’s Blood Soul Saber might not be secure enough. Seems like only that move can be used."

...

Meanwhile.

The Inner Sect’s Top Ten battle continues to unfold.

After Lu Yuan easily defeated Su Rhyme, the subsequent battles were all one-sided, with no worthy opponent encountered.

Regarding Zhao Xu, heavily counted on by Yan Xing and numerous Inner Sect disciples, he too swept through his opponents decisively, even defeating Tang Rhyme, who was regretfully not his match.

Moreover, Su Rhyme and Lei Heng, two popular contenders for the top spot, met in the quarterfinals.

The two fought with all might and unleashed their full arsenal. Ultimately, Su Rhyme, leveraging her advantage in cultivation, emerged victorious.

As such.

The Cyan Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect competition of this year has selected the top three, finally entering the final battle stage.

Both Lu Yuan and Zhao Xu remained undefeated all the way.

This means.

They will decide the victor in the last encounter.

The winner will become the Inner Sect Leader and successfully ascend to be the sect’s true inheritor!

To ensure both have ample time to adjust their status to peak, Han Qingxuan opted to schedule this highly anticipated final battle for the next morning.

Many disciples, hearing this news, were somewhat dissatisfied, lingering on the main peak for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

"Hold on, brother."

Just as Lu Yuan was planning to return to his residence, a female voice stopped him.

He turned to look and saw Luo Xin briskly approaching.

"I wonder what’s up with Sister finding me?"

Lu Yuan questioned.

"Master just transmitted to me, instructing you not to leave the main peak tonight, but rather to stay overnight at the Sect Hall."

Luo Xin glanced around, then cautiously transmitted a message.
