Shangguan Huanling received the news.
She was stunned again.
Huh?
Didn’t I already go through the trial once and pass it? Why is there another trial now?
Heavenly Demon Blood Escape is also a free gift?
Sun Ruowei…
This time, Shangguan Huanling didn’t cry. She took a deep breath.
“I still have this! I refuse to believe this skill will spread throughout the Fifth Heaven by my brother Lu Ye!”
Sun Ruowei?
“What other skills do you have?”
Shangguan Huanling’s eyes were filled with defiance.
“Celestial Lord Fist!”
Sun Ruowei’s expression changed slightly.
“Lu Ye’s Celestial Lord Fist?”
“Yeah, Lu Ye’s strongest skill from his last life! I can do it too!” Shangguan Huanling said proudly.
Sun Ruowei looked skeptical.
“You know Celestial Lord Fist? Why haven’t I seen you use it?”
“Hmph, it was taken away by him! But that’s alright, I know how to cultivate Celestial Lord Fist.”
Sun Ruowei…
So, Shangguan Huanling started to spread the word that she was selling Celestial Lord Fist!
But this time, things didn’t go as she expected.
No one bought it!
Shangguan Huanling was confused.
“Why isn’t anyone buying it?” she asked, puzzled.
Sun Ruowei replied helplessly, “Because Celestial Lord Fist is the embodiment of Lu Ye’s Dao. No one but him can use it! It’s not even a skill! Even if you sell it to others, they wouldn’t be able to learn it, just like you!”
“Is that so?” Shangguan Huanling was a bit doubtful.
“Why don’t you teach it to me first and see if I can use it?”
Shangguan Huanling began to teach Sun Ruowei Celestial Lord Fist.
Just as Sun Ruowei said, Celestial Lord Fist wasn’t a skill at all, only Lu Ye could use it. Anyone else attempting to use it would have zero power.
Lu Ye also announced that no one else could use Celestial Lord Fist.
Thus, Shangguan Huanling’s money-making plan completely failed.
The entire Fifth Heaven was waiting for Shangguan Huanling to start selling new divine abilities, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Shangguan Huanling found herself in an unprecedented predicament, her cultivation began to stagnate.
Lu Ye deduced a replacement for the star soul stone called the Sand Sea Soul Crystal. This sand wasn’t ordinary sand; it came from a remote meteorite galaxy where the meteorites piled up like a sea of sand.
It was said that it was full of dangers, and even the Imperishable Realm could enter but never return.
So, Lu Ye flattened that sand sea.
At this point, all items needed to condense the seventh life were gathered.
Lu Ye had nothing left to do in the Fifth Heaven; he made a trip to deal with the forces that had sent assassins to block him, and infused some energy into the Emperor’s Banner.
Then, he went into seclusion.
Time gradually passed.
Lu Ye’s strength began to grow rapidly.
The Endless Secret Vault was truly a great thing; it saved Lu Ye a lot of trouble.
Lu Ye estimated that just from this Endless Secret Vault, he could easily cultivate to the Void Realm.
The Void Realm was the level of the Sixth Heaven, and also the final layer of the Sixth Heaven.
In fact, the treasures left behind by the Endless Emperor were enough for him to cultivate to the Shattering Realm.
Even potentially to the Great Dao Realm.
However, because Lu Ye’s foundation was too deep, the resources he needed were clearly far more than what a normal great emperor would require for a rebirth.
The Endless Emperor could reach the Shattering Realm, but he could only reach the Void Realm.
But Lu Ye was already very satisfied.
Ah, the Void Realm… saved him so much trouble.
Sixty years passed in the blink of an eye.
The True Essence within Lu Ye had become astronomical in scale.
Even compared to his previous life, it was more than double or triple the amount.
You have to understand, in his past life, Lu Ye lingered in the Fifth Heaven for a long time waiting for those women to ascend. He was just killing time; aside from using Yin Yang Dao to assist those women in their ascension, he was quietly suppressing his level and solidifying his foundation.
In his last life, he was a Celestial Pill, and because he hadn’t reached the ultimate state, Lu Ye had to continuously make up for it in later stages.
In the end, the compensation went quite well.
Breakthrough!
When he reached the Thirteenth Layer of the Universe Realm, Lu Ye stopped hesitating and broke through directly!
At the same time, three divine objects fused into Lu Ye’s body like beams of light.
The Nine Lives Undying Heavenly Canon quickly operated.
His aura surged, rising, and rising even more…
As he reached the Ascendant Realm, Lu Ye’s seventh life was condensed.
Only two more lives needed to be condensed.
The eighth life, if all goes well, needed to be condensed in the Void Realm.
The ninth life needed to be condensed in the Emperor Realm.
Lu Ye had also once died in battle after becoming an emperor, and it was because of An Li.
At that time, An Li’s mother clan emerged, trying to take An Li back amidst the chaos of darkness.
An Li’s identity was indeed quite terrifying.
It was a legacy that stretched back to the ancient times and even further.
Moreover, Lu Ye speculated that the Aroma of Achievement in Dao must have been taken from the remains of her ancestors by An Li.
As for why An Li appeared in the Fourth Heaven this time, if it weren’t for Chu Ling informing him, Lu Ye wouldn’t have believed it because An Li’s mother clan was in the Seventh Heaven.
Back then, Lu Ye had stolen An Li away when he was in the Seventh Heaven.
For her, that place was the ultimate hell.
But later, according to Shen Xitang, An Li actually took the initiative to contact her mother clan; it was both laughable and sad.
Lu Ye’s thoughts drifted…
Forget it, no more thinking! Back to cultivation!
The Ascendant Realm requires careful exploration of the treasures within the body.
All major acupoints and various secret vaults had to be opened.
At that time, cultivators in the Ascendant Realm would see a surge in battle power, and their bodies would become even more attuned to the heavens and earth, allowing for more communication with them.
Cultivate!
Cultivate!
I’m gonna cultivate!
Pursuing higher realms is what a cultivator should do.
All that romantic nonsense should pave the way for cultivation!
The system had been simulating how to generate greater lethality against the Darkness Origin.
This time, the Little Heavenly Dao didn’t dare to act up again, as Shen Xitang really gave it a beating.
The cries of the Little Heavenly Dao brought joy to the listeners and laughter to those who heard it.
Time continued to flow.
Days rose and fell.
The River of Time surged forward unceasingly, never stopping for anything.
Right now, Lu Ye still couldn’t see the River of Time, but anyone who did would feel their own insignificance.
Throughout history, whether great emperors or celestial lords, under the erosion of time, there’s only the saying of dust returning to dust.
Perhaps only saints, or even those above saints, can exist alongside time, immortal and unyielding.
Lu Ye looked forward to that realm.
As Lu Ye was cultivating, the system’s notification sounded.
“Ding! Simulation successful!”
Lu Ye instantly opened his eyes.
The simulation actually succeeded! The system is awesome!
