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

Chapter 987: Chapter 520: Eighth Life: Sword Nurturing Gourd, Arrival of the Void Dao Saint Master! (Part 2)

"Senior, no need to worry. The Void Dao Saint Master is indeed powerful, but not invincible. Leave this matter to me."

Lu Yuan spoke calmly, unphased by the fear of the Divine Fire Sect’s Void Dao Strong Person.

Currently possessing Celestial Fate Realm cultivation, and armed with the Void Dao Sacred Artifact and numerous top-grade treasures, he could battle even the Void Dao Saint Master!

Moreover, from Sun Xiao’s memories,

the region of the Great Li Dynasty was once the Dragon Fall Land during Ancient Times, and an Immortal Divine Medicine is hidden here.

This medicine can reverse Heaven-defying Fate Change, recreating the Innate.

How could Lu Yuan possibly pass up such an opportunity?

"Do you have a way to deal with the Void Dao Saint Master?"

Li Shouzhuo’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, and he couldn’t help but ask.

Ever since he learned of the impending arrival of the Divine Fire Sect, he had been restless, worried sick about this matter.

The reason he entrusted the Treasure of the Sect to Lu Yuan was to ensure the sect’s legacy.

Yet seeing Lu Yuan so relaxed and confident, it seemed he had a plan against the Divine Fire Sect?

"I can barely manage to fight them."

Lu Yuan said modestly, not too full of himself.

Since reaching the Celestial Fate Realm, he hadn’t yet sparred with anyone.

Even Lu Yuan was unsure of his current limit of combat power.

However, by his estimate, unless he meets an old Void Dao Saint Master, utilizing the Sacred Artifact to reach a draw would be feasible.

Yet these words in Li Shouzhuo’s ears were like thunder, making his scalp tingle as he gasped.

To challenge a Void Dao Saint Master with Early-Stage Celestial Destiny Cultivation?

If anyone else said this, Li Shouzhuo would definitely think they were insane.

After all, the Void Dao Saint Master has Heaven-Reaching means, altering Celestial Mandates with a thought.

Normal Celestial Fate Great Powers might use every trick and still fail to harm the Void Dao Saint Master.

In such a situation,

Celestial Fate Great Powers trying to fight above their level would be akin to dreaming.

However, Li Shouzhuo considered Lu Yuan’s demon-like talent and felt this was not impossible.

For unparalleled Celestial Prides like Lu Yuan, born with great fortune, fighting above their level is as easy as eating or drinking.

You can’t measure them by common sense.

"Since my friend is confident in resisting the Divine Fire Sect, I am at ease."

Li Shouzhuo smiled slightly, as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulder.

Next,

he made a hand seal to activate the teleportation array, taking Lu Yuan back to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Lu Yuan, having unexpectedly obtained two treasures, wasted no time and informed Li Shouzhuo before returning to his cave.

The Sword Nurturing Gourd, though potent, contained mental imprints from past Cyan Cloud Sect experts, requiring a re-forging for smooth use.

The "Ten Thousand Talisman Scripture" was complex and profound, and Lu Yuan needed some time to comprehend it.

While Lu Yuan concentrated on refining the Sword Nurturing Gourd,

a sacred decree issued from the Imperial City, causing fear among all sect forces.

According to the decree,

the Divine Fire Sect’s Void Dao Strong Person would arrive at the Great Li Imperial City in three days.

All sect leaders and Noble Family Heads had to go to the Imperial City immediately to greet them.

Those who defy the decree will face consequences!

Upon receiving the decree, the Great Li strong persons wore troubled expressions, unsure how to proceed.

Because it was evident,

the Divine Fire Sect wanted to use this chance to force everyone to choose sides.

If they went to the Imperial City to greet them, it meant implicitly submitting to the Divine Fire Sect, agreeing to become their vassals.

But if they dared defy the decree, they would become enemies of the Divine Fire Sect, and soon face a reckoning!

"The Void Dao Saint Master possesses Daoist Magic Communicates with the Divine, we aren’t even Celestial Fate Great Powers, how can we contend at this level?"

"In the Dao Lineage struggle, no one can remain uninvolved; seems we won’t escape this trial."

Some Great Li powers sighed, unwilling to be drawn into disputes among Dao Lineages.

Yet some were ambitious, holding differing views.

"Now is the time of great contention; if we surrender to the Divine Fire Sect, we might seize this chance to rise!"

"Seize the opportunity to rise? You think everyone is an unparalleled Celestial Pride?"

"With our power, even joining the Divine Fire Sect, we’d be mere cannon fodder at the forefront!"

An old powerhouse angrily retorted.

However, they knew in their hearts, the Divine Fire Sect is the supreme Dao Lineage of the time, with influence across the Holy Realm.

If they dared defy the Divine Fire Sect’s orders, it would be akin to seeking death.

Now, they could only take it one step at a time.

At this time,

Han Qingxuan, as Sect Master of Cyan Cloud Sect, also received a sacred decree.

Though different from other forces’ decrees,

this decree required all Cyan Cloud Sect’s senior members to go to the Imperial City to greet the Divine Fire Sect.

But also demanded they kneel at the city gate for three days, sincerely repenting their sins, subject to the Divine Sect’s powerful ones’ judgment!

"Supreme Elder, the Royal Family has sent the decree to our door; what should we do now?"

Looking at the decree’s content, Han Qingxuan’s face was extremely grim, wishing he could tear the decree to shreds.

When the Great Li Ancestor was slain by Lu Yuan, the Great Li Monarch was startled thrice overnight, couldn’t even fart.

Now with the Void Dao Strong Person backing them, they hypocritically order the Cyan Cloud Sect to the Imperial City to beg forgiveness. Such small-mindedness!

"Temporarily disband all disciples, send them in batches to various places."

Li Shouzhuo pondered briefly, preparing two plans.

Though he trusted Lu Yuan wouldn’t gamble with his life,

nothing is absolute, precautions must be taken.

If Lu Yuan truly fails against the Void Dao Saint Master, he could still ensure the sect’s survival.

"Supreme Elder, what about you?"

Han Qingxuan asked again.

"Lu Yuan is our Cyan Cloud Sect’s hope; if he dies, I have no reason to live."

"So I will stay here, living and dying with the sect."

Li Shouzhuo spoke calmly, but his tone bore a decisive resolve.

In this way,

amidst the anxiety, three days passed quickly.

Great Li Imperial City.

Though morning, the normally bustling Imperial City was peculiarly quiet today.

On the clean, wide streets, no vendors or commoners were present.

Only rows of Great Li Martial Cultivators stood in formation on the streets, looking stern.

Three steps a post, ten steps a sentry.

Streets cleared, roads blocked, the entire city was under lockdown.

The Great Li Monarch led civil and military officials, along with the major forces’ strong persons, personally out of the city to wait, seemingly to welcome a great figure!

At this moment,

a high-pitched, crisp phoenix cry suddenly came from afar.

"Chi Song Elder and Wei Jun Prince have arrived!"

At the head of the group, a red-robed elder’s spirit suddenly lifted, quickly looking towards the distance.

The cloudless sky suddenly appeared filled with vast red clouds and fire clouds, as if the entire firmament had been ignited.

At the horizon,

a brilliant scarlet streak suddenly crossed the sky, like a meteor, whistling from afar.

Upon closer inspection, it was shockingly revealed,

that scarlet streak was a soaring Blazing Fire Phoenix!

The Fire Phoenix was enormous, stretching over a hundred feet, its feathers like blazing flames, its entire body deep red without a trace of impurity.

Its pair of red phoenix eyes, like two burning suns, exuded an aura of superiority, with an aloofness and indifference.

Its body was long and agile, each wing stroke stirring storms, scattering the surrounding clouds into beautiful waves.

On the phoenix’s back, several figures stood with indifferent gazes, looking at the red-robed elder and others.

The leading elder in a mysterious robe, though unremarkable in appearance, exuded an intimidating aura, beyond words.

The Great Li Sovereign and others, upon glancing at the elder, experienced a booming sensation, their minds blank.

They trembled uncontrollably, feeling a deep soul fear, as if ants before gods.

One by one, they couldn’t resist bowing down, worshipping fervently, hoping for mercy and forgiveness!
