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

Chapter 924: Chapter 490: Eighth Life—Ten Thousand Swords Through the Heart, Advancing to True Inheritor! (Part 2)

"I don’t think so. Lu Yuan did this merely to avenge his parents."

"Besides, he has become the Inner Sect Leader, and his promotion to the Sect’s True Inheritor is a certainty. By then, with the protection of the Cyan Cloud Sect, even the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor might not dare to act against him openly."

The other Nirvana Realm experts were shaken, unable to hold back their whispered discussions.

Ye Chuan and the other true disciples were shocked into a cold sweat by the sight of Dong Baocai’s death, feeling a chill climb from their tailbones straight to their skulls.

Although they had some unpleasant encounters with Lu Yuan before, fortunately, they resolved them in time.

Otherwise, given Lu Yuan’s decisive and ruthless nature, their fate might not have been much better than Dong Baocai’s!

"Dismembering a Supreme Profound Sect elder alive, this junior brother truly is fierce."

"However, the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor wants to become a Celestial Destiny Great Power and must consolidate the sect’s luck. He will not allow anyone to damage the Supreme Profound Sect’s prestige."

"But Brother Lu Yuan’s actions have dealt a devastating blow to the Supreme Profound Sect’s prestige, and his future may not be smooth."

Ye Chuan showed a wry smile.

Luo Xin, however, appeared excited, as if eager for chaos in the world.

"What’s there to fear? Soldiers come, counter with generals; water floods, cover with earth. As long as the master is around, even the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor may not dare to act recklessly."

Elsewhere.

The Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor was blocked outside the Sect Protection Array and could only watch helplessly as Dong Baocai was dismembered and left with no remains.

"Such a young age and already so vicious. If I do not kill you, I swear I won’t live as a human!"

He shouted angrily, wishing to kill Lu Yuan swiftly.

But with Han Qingxuan blocking him, even as a half-step Celestial Destiny Great Power, he could do nothing to Lu Yuan.

In the end, he acted in anger, flattening all the mountains within a hundred miles of the Cyan Cloud Sect with a palm strike before disappearing into the horizon with all the Supreme Profound Sect disciples.

"Phew~"

Watching the departing figure of the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor, Han Qingxuan’s tense body finally relaxed somewhat.

Even though he had appeared extremely forceful earlier, he had been bearing unimaginable pressure behind the scenes.

After all, no matter how you looked at it.

The Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor was a genuinely half-step Celestial Destiny Great Power. If he expended every effort, determined to fight the Cyan Cloud Sect to the end.

Even if the Cyan Cloud Sect managed to repel the Supreme Profound Sect, it would suffer heavy casualties.

This was not something he wished to see.

"Disciple Lu Yuan, thank you, Sect Master, for saving my life."

Lu Yuan cupped his hands and saluted.

If Han Qingxuan hadn’t helped, even if his Sword Dao expertise was high, he would surely have been killed by a single strike from the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor.

"You are the Inner Sect Leader of my Cyan Cloud Sect. Anyone who acts against you is an enemy of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"You only need to focus on your cultivation. Leave the Supreme Profound Sect matters to me."

Han Qingxuan waved his hand, laughing heartily.

"Disciple will not disappoint the Sect Master’s expectations."

A warmth spread in Lu Yuan’s heart as he cupped his fists.

His public dismemberment of Dong Baocai had caused significant repercussions. Given the Supreme Profound Sect’s typical behavior, they would surely launch a frenzied retaliation against the Cyan Cloud Sect.

The pressure and losses to be endured were far from as carefree as Han Qingxuan’s words suggested.

Yet Han Qingxuan mentioned not a word about this, clearly to spare Lu Yuan from psychological burden.

The Inner Sect competition concluded.

Witnessed by all sect disciples and numerous powerful figures from various factions.

Han Qingxuan publicly handed Lu Yuan a True Inheritance Token.

This also signified.

From this moment on.

He was a core disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, entitled to the sect’s full and unconditional support in cultivation!

"Congratulations, Brother Lu Yuan!"

"Brother Lu Yuan’s promotion to the Sect’s True Inheritor today truly ushers in fortune for our Cyan Cloud Sect!"

"Indeed, it has been a long time since our Cyan Cloud Sect had a genius as extraordinary as Brother Lu Yuan."

Once Lu Yuan became a true disciple, Ye Chuan and others immediately gathered around him, enthusiastically praising him.

Aware that the sect only bestows one true disciple position annually, all promotions arise from the ranks of the historical Inner Sect Leaders.

Currently, the sect has only a bit more than thirty true inheritors.

While each true disciple is powerful, possessing at least Soul Palace Realm Cultivation.

Based on the world-shaking power Lu Yuan had demonstrated.

Even among all sect’s true inheritors, his strength could rank in the top ten!

Not only Ye Chuan and these true disciples but even the observing Nirvana Realm experts showed goodwill towards Lu Yuan.

"At such a young age, to possess such battle strength, truly a talent bestowed by heaven."

"My Su family, though generations of sword cultivators, has rarely seen such Sword Dao talent as yours."

"If you’re interested, you’re always welcome to visit my Su family."

Su Zhengyang said with a smile, looking at Lu Yuan as if he were an invaluable gem.

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior. I will certainly visit in the future."

Lu Yuan cupped his hands, neither refusing nor directly agreeing.

Having become a mortal enemy of the Supreme Profound Sect, his priority was to first enhance his own power.

As for other matters, they would have to wait.

"Yun’Er is about your age and is also in the same sect. If you’re interested, feel free to interact more often."

Su Zhengyang suggested with a smile, even resorting to beauty stratagem.

"Father!"

Upon hearing this, a blush spread across Su Rhyme’s face. Typically ice-cold, she now bashfully lowered her head.

However, Lu Yuan remained indifferent.

Though Su Rhyme was stunning and the dream goddess for countless Inner Sect disciples.

Lu Yuan, having experienced many reincarnations, had seen his share of beauties.

In his eyes.

No matter how beautiful, it couldn’t withstand the ravages of time, ending up as just a handful of dirt.

After a brief conversation.

Lu Yuan bid farewell to everyone and, with the guidance from Han Qingxuan, found a courtyard on the Main Peak.

The courtyard, located midway up the Main Peak, offered a tranquil environment usually undisturbed, ideal for secluded cultivation.

Moreover, the entire courtyard lay above a middle-grade spiritual vein, embedded with several Spirit Gathering Arrays, making its Spiritual Energy concentration several times that of the outside world.

For an ordinary person, a day of cultivation here equaled ten days of hard work elsewhere!

"The treatment of true disciples is indeed extraordinary, having the privilege to occupy a segment of a middle-grade spiritual vein."

Lu Yuan marveled quietly.

While Inner Sect disciples were the sect’s mid-level members, their benefits couldn’t compare to those of true disciples, the sect’s real core.

Just this courtyard alone was worth the lifetime savings of several Inner Sect Elders.

Beyond that, true disciples possessed numerous privileges, such as receiving abundant cultivation resources monthly.

And they could browse the Scripture Pavilion’s secret manuals unrestrictedly.

"With the whole sect as my backing, I no longer need to worry about resources."

"This way, perhaps I can directly enter the Soul Palace Realm in a short time."

Lu Yuan’s eyes brightened with a hint of joy.

Once he entered the Soul Palace Realm, his power would qualitatively transform.

By then, even in the face of the Supreme Profound Sect’s frenzied retaliation, he could handle it effortlessly.

"Furthermore, the Celestial Mandate Inheritance is of paramount importance, and every major faction, even the Great Li Dynasty, will send experts to compete."

"The more my strength grows, the better my chances of securing the inheritance."

"If I acquire this inheritance, not to mention the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor, I could even flatten the entire Supreme Profound Sect."

Lu Yuan murmured, determined to achieve this goal.

He then stopped pondering and with a flip of his palm, retrieved an elixir from his Qiankun Bag.

This spirit pill exuded a dark sheen, its surface inscribed with numerous pill patterns.

However, the most peculiar aspect of this pill was.

Anyone who stared at it for too long would find their mind involuntarily sinking into it.

Without external intervention, it would be difficult to awaken.

"The Soul-Forming Pill can refine the Divine Soul, making the user’s mind and will increasingly firm, essential even for Soul Palace Realm experts."

"If not for this Inner Sect competition, the Sect Master might not have offered this pill."

Lu Yuan contemplated as he regarded the pill.

The Soul-Forming Pill was invaluable, capable of compensating innate deficiencies and reshaping one’s Divine Soul, directly enhancing a cultivator’s mental fortitude without any side effects.

Disregarding its other efficacies.

The mere fact that it could reshape the Divine Soul testified to its extraordinary value!
