Chapter 298 Simulation Again, Sword Domain True Inheritance, Heavenly Emperor's Legacy!
The next day, the morning mist had not yet dissipated.
Lu Yu rubbed his slightly sore lower back as he slowly walked out of a bamboo house adorned with large red "double happiness" characters. He stretched his limbs under the eaves, his face beaming with undisguised satisfaction.
"Hey, isn't this our groom?"
Xiao Yan appeared out of nowhere, leaning against a pillar with a meaningful smile. He deliberately drew out his words:
'
It seems the battle last night was quite intense?
Lu Yu coughed lightly, pretending to be calm as he straightened his clothes: "Stop talking nonsense. Wait until your wedding day, and see how I deal with you."
"I still have a long way to go—"
Xiao Yan shrugged, but before he could finish speaking, a clear voice came from not far away.
"Xiao Yan!"
The two looked up at the sound and saw Tang Huo'er walking briskly towards them. Today, she was wearing a light yellow outfit, which made her look exceptionally radiant and beautiful.
"Your father wants to discuss something important with you."
Tang Huo'er walked briskly forward, her bright eyes naturally falling on Xiao Yan, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "They said they wanted to discuss in detail the future cooperation between Burning Flame Valley and Starfall Pavilion."
Tang Huo'er then noticed Lu Yu standing to the side and quickly cupped her hands in greeting, saying, "Congratulations on your wedding, Brother Lu."
Seeing the natural understanding between the two, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Looks like someone's getting married soon."
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally, neither confirming nor denying. Tang Huo'er's ears turned slightly red, but she didn't refute him, only secretly glancing at Xiao Yan.
"Go quickly, don't keep Valley Master Tang waiting." Lu Yu gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look, his tone full of sarcasm.
Watching the two figures disappear into the morning mist as they walked side by side, Xiao Yan turned slightly to listen to Tang Huo'er's words. Tang Huo'er would occasionally look up at him, a faint smile always on her lips.
The morning light pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the pair of large red "double happiness" characters on the bamboo house with exceptional warmth and brightness.
Watching their retreating figures, Lu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, muttering to himself, "That kid, he's got good luck."
Half a month later, Lu Yu, along with Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and other core members of the three races, were standing around a huge energy map. The map was covered with countless points of light, like stars scattered across the sky, emitting unsettling energy fluctuations.
"Is this the distribution of the various branch halls of the Soul Palace?"
Lu Yu stared at the map, his brows gradually furrowing. His gaze followed the trajectory of the dots of light, his fingertips unconsciously tracing a path in the air.
Gu Yuan nodded solemnly: "According to intelligence from various sources, the Soul Clan has secretly established seventy-two branch palaces in the past six months, each of which is connected to each other by spatial wormholes."
Lei Ying said in a deep voice, "These branch halls are scattered in a disorderly manner. I don't know what the Soul Clan is planning."
1
"No, it's not messy."
Lu Yu suddenly spoke, a golden light bursting from his fingertips and rapidly traversing the map. Wherever the golden light passed, the seemingly scattered points of light gradually revealed a certain regular connection.
"The locations of these branch halls correspond to the number of stars in the heavens, forming the prototype of an ancient grand formation."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's expression changed drastically, and he asked urgently, "What grand formation?"
Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Soul Devouring Annihilation Array."
"The Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Array?!"
Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically, his voice filled with rare shock, "Wasn't this formation completely destroyed back in ancient times? Countless powerful figures sacrificed themselves to destroy this great formation back then—"
He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing deep dread: "Once this formation is activated, it can turn all living beings within its range into blood and forcibly extract their life essence. I never imagined the Soul Clan would be so ruthless—"
Lei Ying pressed urgently, "Now that you've recognized this formation, is there any way to break it?"
Lu Yu's fingertips flashed across the map, finally settling on seven relatively hidden points of light: "These seven points are the core of the great formation. Although the Soul Clan deliberately disguised it, the trajectory of energy flow cannot be deceived."
He turned to Gu Yuan, his tone grave, and said, "We need to immediately arrange reliable personnel to secretly infiltrate beneath these seven branch halls to investigate. If my judgment is correct, the core foundation of the Maintenance Array must be buried there."
Lei Ying immediately declared, "My Lei clan can take charge of the two areas in the Northwest."
Yan Jin then added, "The two southern regions will be handed over to my Yan Clan."
Gu Yuan glanced at the remaining three locations on the map and said in a deep voice, "The remaining three locations will be handled by my Gu clan."
Lu Yu instructed, "Remember, you only need to destroy the array base; you must not alert the enemy. We need time to prepare before we fully understand the Soul Clan's capabilities."
The three clan leaders nodded in unison and immediately began making arrangements.
Not long after, inside the bamboo house.
Lu Yu gently pushed away the four women surrounding him, stood up, and walked to the window. The moonlight, like water, shone on his slightly tired but satisfied smile.
"Brother Yu————" Xun'er leaned lazily against the couch, her black hair cascading down her pillow, her face still flushed.
Cai Lin straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "What, can't you stand it already?"
The Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head shyly, adjusting her clothes, her ear tips slightly red. Zi Yan was already lying on the brocade quilt, drifting off to sleep.
-
Lu Yu turned back to look at this heartwarming scene, his eyes filled with tenderness. Since their wedding, nights like this had become commonplace.
"Starting tomorrow, I will be going into seclusion for a period of time."
Lu Yu glanced at the four women and said softly, "I have recently made some breakthroughs in my understanding of formations, and I need to calm down and comprehend them."
Cai Lin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "Going into seclusion at this critical juncture?"
"It's precisely to deal with the Soul Clan."
Lu Yu remained calm and continued, "If we can make a breakthrough, our chances of winning will increase significantly."
Xun'er held his hand with concern: "Do you need any resources?"
"No need."
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "This seclusion is mainly for enlightenment, it won't last too long."
He patted Xun'er's hand reassuringly and gave everyone a reassuring smile.
After the four women fell asleep, Lu Yu went to the secret chamber alone. As the stone door slowly closed, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Start simulation."
[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host—one]
[Successfully selected. Please choose one of the following three simulated identities.]
[One, Sword Domain Disciple—You are an outer disciple of the Sword Domain, a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme level power in the Great Thousand World. You possess a Heavenly-grade spiritual vein and the potential for sword cultivation. You have been accepted as a disciple by Flying Stream Sword Lord, the seventh disciple of the Azure-Robed Sword Saint.]
[Second, Northern Sea Dragon Cub—You are a Northern Sea Dragon Cub wandering the Hundred Spirits Continent. You possess the natural qualities of a divine beast, and upon adulthood, you may even have the potential to glimpse the Earthly Sovereign Realm. However, you are currently just a little creature at the Divine Soul Realm.]
[Third, Descendant of the Spirit Gathering Clan—You are the only remaining descendant of the Spirit Gathering Clan in the Great Thousand World. Because of your innate ability to gather spiritual energy, you were imprisoned by a supreme powerhouse who forged a Spirit Gathering Bowl for you day and night.]
Please make your choice—Part 1
"Sword Domain, Northern Sea Dragon Kun, Gathering Spirit Clan —"
Lu Yu looked at the three options that appeared before him, his gaze lingering on the first option for a moment.
Without any hesitation, the choice was made.
I choose one.

[Selection successful, identity loading ————]
[Simulation Begins - Part 1]
[In your first year, you turned six. Born with a Heavenly-grade spiritual vein and the physique of a sword seed, you caused an anomaly during your test at the Outer Domain's Spiritual Vein Hall. A dazzling sword light shot into the sky, startling the entire Outer Domain. More than a dozen elders from the Inner Domain rushed to the scene, arguing fiercely over who would accept you as their disciple.]
Just as everyone was arguing, a streak of azure sword light pierced the sky. The Flying Stream Sword Lord arrived on his sword. To fulfill the requirements set by the Azure-Robed Sword Saint for accepting disciples, he wished to take you as a nominal disciple and teach you his self-created "Nine Heavens Sword Primordial Spirit Chapter."
Based on your experience from the previous simulation, you knew that this Sword Master would definitely break through to the Heavenly Supreme realm in the future. Without hesitation, you immediately bowed and became his disciple.
[In the second year, Sword Master Feiliu began to teach you the "Nine Heavens Sword Primordial Spirit Chapter." Benefiting from your real-world cultivation experience, you grasped the concepts instantly, and your cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, far surpassing ordinary people.]
Seeing your exceptional talent and outstanding comprehension, Sword Master Feiliu has been moved to truly consider taking you as a disciple.
After careful consideration, one day he summoned you to his presence, his expression more solemn than ever: "You should know that although I am a disciple of the Sword Saint, I have not yet accepted any personal disciples due to my relatively short period of cultivation."
[His light shines like a sword, piercing straight into your heart and soul. "Your talent and temperament are both superior. Are you willing to accept a test? If you pass, you will become my first disciple, the Flying Stream Sword Master."]
Knowing full well that this Sword Master would inevitably become a Celestial Supreme, and that becoming his first disciple would be of extraordinary significance, you immediately bowed solemnly and said, "This disciple is willing to give it a try."
[The Flying Stream Sword Master nodded slightly: "Deep within the Sword Domain lies the Sword Demon Tower, the place where our ancestor suppressed a Demon Emperor of the Heart Demon Clan in his early years. This tower has nine levels; the first three can hone one's sword heart. You only need to pass the first level to prove you are qualified to inherit my mantle."]
[You accepted the test and immediately headed to the Sword Demon Tower. The moment you stepped into the first level, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly, and you were back in the Sword Domain. There you saw the Flying Stream Sword Lord, his face icy cold, his long sword pointed directly at your brow, shouting sharply, "You, a possessor, do you even deserve to be a disciple of my Sword Domain?"]
Faced with this sudden questioning, you didn't react with surprise but rather with a laugh. Having your secret as a transmigrator exposed so openly should have filled you with dread, but you only found it ridiculous—after all, you were in a simulation, so what if the Green-Robed Sword Saint himself came and took your life?
[Upon realizing this, the illusion before him shattered instantly. What master-disciple feud, what exposed identity—before you, a transmigrator unafraid of death, it was nothing but a mirage.]
As you calmly stepped out of the Sword Demon Tower, Fei Liu Sword Lord's eyes were filled with praise. From that moment on, you officially became Fei Liu Sword Lord's disciple, his eldest disciple.
[In the third year, Sword Master Feiliu began to teach you the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Azure Robe." This sword technique was created by the Azure Robe Sword Saint and is a supreme sword art that points directly to the Great Dao of Heavenly Sovereignty. Because your cultivation is still shallow, Sword Master Feiliu only taught you the first three swords, instructing you to proceed step by step and not to be greedy for more.]
[In the fourth year, your cultivation reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm. Sensing an opportunity to break through, Sword Lord Feiliu decided to go into seclusion to attempt to reach the Heavenly Supreme Realm. Before leaving, he entrusted you to your second senior uncle—the Xuan Gang Sword Venerable, who was in charge of the Sword Domain's affairs.]
This second senior master holds a highly respected position under the Sword Saint. After the fall of his eldest senior brother, he took on the heavy responsibility of assisting his master and ruling the Sword Domain. Now, the Azure-Robed Sword Saint is in seclusion year-round, and all affairs of the Sword Domain, large and small, are decided by this Celestial Sovereign.
[The Xuan Gang Sword Master is upright and strict in his discipline. As the first disciple of the Fei Liu Sword Master, his demands on you are even more stringent. You must rise before dawn every day to practice swordsmanship until late at night, and any slight mistake will require you to start all over again.]
[This rigorous training lasted for a full six months. One morning, while you were practicing the Thirty-Six Swords of the Green Robe in the sword arena, a sudden inspiration struck you, and you broke through to the Supreme Realm.]
[In the fifth year, after you broke through to the Supreme Realm, the Xuan Gang Sword Master, seeing that your foundation was solid, passed on to you all the fourth to twelfth swords of the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Green Robe".]
[These nine sword techniques are exquisite and unparalleled. After three months of dedicated practice, you have finally mastered them. The twelve techniques, executed in a continuous chain, possess an unbroken flow of sword intent, their power comparable to a divine technique at the Great Perfection level.]
[Afterwards, you were ordered by the Xuan Gang Sword Master to accompany his eldest disciple to a lower plane to eradicate demonic scourges. With your mastery of the Twelve Swords of the Green Robe, you slew several extraterrestrial evil beings in several battles, and your reputation as a rising star in the Sword Domain began to rise.]
[Returning victorious at the end of the year, you report back to the Sword Domain. The Xuan Gang Sword Master, in rewarding your contributions, grants you special permission to visit the Sword Domain's treasury and select a supreme-grade treasure.]
[Upon entering the treasure vault, your gaze swept over numerous divine artifacts and spiritual items, ultimately choosing a bottle of Nine Yang Heavenly Fire Liquid.]
[In the sixth year, your master, Flying Stream Sword Lord, broke through to the Heavenly Supreme realm and emerged from seclusion. By this time, you had already cultivated to the Fourth Grade Supreme realm. When he learned that you had not yet chosen a Supreme Dharma Body, he couldn't help but feel guilty and immediately took you to the Sword Domain Dharma Body Pavilion.]
The pavilion houses dozens of top-tier Dharma Body inheritances, including many unique sword-path Dharma Bodies from the Sword Domain. As you pass an ancient stone platform, you are drawn to a golden scroll radiating an aura of eternity—the "Great Sun Undying Body."
Upon seeing this, Feiliu Sword Master's expression hardened: "This Dharma Body is a precursor to the Eternal Immortal Body, and its cultivation is extremely difficult. However, the complete inheritance of the Eternal Immortal Body is strictly guarded by the Maha Ancient Clan, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain."
He paused, then continued to persuade, "Why not choose the Azure Profound Sword Dharma Body passed down by your grandmaster? The advanced Dharma Body of this Dharma Body, the Azure Sword Profound Body, ranks tenth on the Great Thousand World Dharma Body Ranking. Although it is slightly inferior to the Eternal Immortal Body, it has the advantage of a complete inheritance and complements your sword aptitude perfectly."
You gazed at the golden scroll, various records about the origin of immortality flashing through your mind. Finally, you resolutely reached out your hand: "Master, this disciple still wishes to try the Great Sun Undying Body."
Seeing that your mind was made up, the Flying Stream Sword Lord had no choice but to find the three main materials for cultivating the Great Sun Undying Body for you.
The first ingredient is the Nine Yang Divine Mushroom, which is imbued with the ultimate Yang energy of Heaven and Earth, containing divine fire. Ordinary supreme beings would be instantly incinerated upon contact. However, if one can successfully refine it, their spiritual power will possess the ultimate Yang characteristics, thus doubling its power.
The second ingredient is the Void Sun Fruit, which grows in the rifts of the void, never withering for a thousand years and never perishing for ten thousand, containing the purest essence of the Great Sun.
The third and most precious ingredient is the Immortal Divine Leaf, which comes from the Immortal Divine Tree. This tree, though a plant, possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans, and grows a single leaf every thousand years—this is the Immortal Divine Leaf.
The "Substitute Leaf," crafted from this substance, possesses the miraculous ability to grant an extra life.
[In the seventh year, you secluded yourself to cultivate the Great Sun Indestructible Body, and after a year, you finally achieved success. As your Dharma Body was initially formed, your cultivation also broke through to the Fifth Grade Supreme level.]
[The Flying Stream Sword Lord personally protects you, using his Heavenly Supreme cultivation to help you activate the Seven Suns. Instantly, seven illusory suns appear behind you, their majestic divine power shaking the Sword Domain.]
[Just as you were about to attempt to reach the eighth Yang stage, the Flying Flow Sword Master stopped you in time: "The cultivation of the Dharma Body must proceed step by step. You have already reached the limit by opening seven Yang stages at the very beginning of your Dharma Body cultivation." Although you were unwilling, you understood that your master's words made sense.]
[In the eighth year, under the personal guidance of the Flying Stream Sword Master, you devoted yourself to cultivation, making rapid progress. In just one year, you broke through three ranks, reaching the eighth rank supreme level, and successfully activated the Nine Yang Technique through your own strength, thus perfecting the Great Sun Undying Body.]
[With the Great Sun Undying Body fully perfected, you begin planning the next step in the inheritance of the Immortal Golden Body.]
[The Flying Stream Sword Master frankly stated that the Sword Domain does not possess this lineage. Not long ago, your second senior uncle, the Profound Gang Sword Venerable, personally went to the Maha Ancient Clan to negotiate, intending to exchange three of the Sword Domain's ultimate techniques. However, the other party's attitude was firm, resolutely refusing on the grounds that "ancient clan traditions are never passed on to outsiders."]
[To this, Flying Flow Sword Master advises you not to be discouraged. Once your grandmaster emerges from seclusion, he will surely find a way.]
In the ninth year, while the Green-Robed Sword Saint was still in seclusion, news suddenly spread across the Tianluo Continent that an ancient heavenly palace had appeared.
The reappearance of this ancient celestial emperor's legacy has immediately drawn the attention of various forces across the vast world.
[At this moment, you have just broken through to the Ninth Rank Supreme and immediately decided to go to the Tianluo Continent to seize opportunities. Before your departure, the Flying Stream Sword Lord solemnly handed you a longsword wreathed in purple lightning: "This sword is named Jingzhe, meaning the awakening of spring thunder and the revival of all things. It is a sacred artifact that I used in my early years. I give it to you today, hoping that you can obtain the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance on your journey."]
[Afterwards, you embark on your journey to the Tianluo Continent, wielding the Jingzhe Sword. Upon arriving at the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Palace, you find powerful Earthly Sovereigns from various factions fiercely vying for a place in the inheritance.]
After months of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached, and the Heavenly Palace Ruins were officially opened.
[In the tenth year, as you enter the Heavenly Palace, a majestic Dragon Ascension Gate suddenly appears before you. Numerous prodigies have already gathered before it, the atmosphere tense and fraught with danger.]
To enter the Heavenly Palace, one must first ascend the Dragon Gate. Only by passing through this gate can one obtain the pass to the Heavenly Palace. It is said that in ancient times, disciples of the Heavenly Palace were divided into four ranks: the lowest was the Wolf Rank, followed by the Eagle Rank, the Dragon Rank, and the highest was the Dragon Rank. Each rank was further divided into three colors: white, blue, and gold, with gold being the most prestigious.
[The trial to ascend the Dragon Gate begins. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, you easily reach the summit and, unsurprisingly, obtain the highest-grade golden Dragon Token.]
[Just then, a strong resonance suddenly arose within your Great Sun Undying Body—within this Heavenly Palace, there were actually two other people who had also cultivated this Dharma Body! A glance swept across, and a black-clad youth and a man with a fierce aura looked towards you simultaneously. The spiritual energy exchange between the three caused the entire Dragon Ascension Gate to tremble.]
[No need for further explanation; you naturally know the identities of these two. One is Mu Chen, and the other is Garuda, the Holy Son of the Holy Demon Palace, one of the lackeys of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan. The Jingzhe Sword was drawn in response, and the Thirty-Six Swords of the Green Robe, combined with the Great Sun Undying Body, launched a fierce attack, aimed directly at Garuda.]
Although Garuda ranks third on the list of strongest warriors on the Tianluo Continent, he was forced to retreat seven steps under your sword. He was filled with shock and anger: "We have no prior grudge, why—"
[You didn't even give him a chance to finish speaking. The twelve sword techniques of the green-robed figure suddenly merged into one, and the thirteenth sword, "Slaying Evil," was born. This sword was comparable to a divine power. Combined with the supreme yang power of the Great Sun Undying Body, and further drawing upon the power of the low-level sacred artifact, the Awakening Insect Sword, it aimed directly at Garuda.]
Nine bolts of purple lightning descended from the void, while nine great suns rose into the sky. The lightning and sword energy intertwined, and Garuda was annihilated in the thunder and fire before he could even scream, leaving only the pure, indestructible body of the Great Sun.
[The third strongest on the Tianluo Continent's power ranking has fallen! The surrounding prodigies were all horrified, even Mu Chen's pupils constricted. You calmly sheathed your sword and crossed the Dragon Gate.]
[Soon after, you gained the approval of the Scripture Pavilion deep within the Heavenly Palace, received the inheritance of the Immortal Golden Body, devoured the immortal essence cultivated by Garuda, and cultivated your own Immortal Golden Body.]
[Later, the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum opened, and you knew that the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor within had resurrected. You immediately took up your sword to guard the entrance of the mausoleum, preventing the prodigies from entering.]
"This path is blocked." The Jingzhe Sword was held horizontally before him, its body shimmering with immortal golden light. The assembled prodigies attacked in a flurry, but were all blocked by the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Sword Formation, which he had mastered to the Grandmaster level. Nine bolts of heavenly lightning transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword curtain, preventing anyone from crossing the barrier.
[The powerful Earthly Sovereigns from the outside world were alarmed and risked their lives to descend. You had no choice but to shatter the sword talisman, and the Flying Stream Sword Lord arrived in an instant. The moment he appeared, he sensed the Demon Emperor's aura within the mausoleum and, without hesitation, charged in with his sword. Instantly, earth-shattering battle fluctuations erupted from the depths of the mausoleum.]
Seeing his master gradually losing ground, a streak of azure sword light pierced the heavens and earth. The azure-robed sword saint stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Nine Corpses, now that you're awake, don't sleep anymore."
At the same time, a sea of fire raged on the left as the Flame Emperor descended through the air; lightning ripped through the sky on the right as the Martial Ancestor broke through the void. The three saints stood side by side, and the entire Heavenly Palace trembled.
The Nine Corpse Demon Emperor's furious roar echoed through the heavens: "You—"
Before the words were even finished, the three sacred powers had already intertwined into a web of destruction. Sword light, strange fire, and lightning converged into a pillar of light that pierced through space, completely purifying the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor and his demonic soul.
[To be killed by three Saint-level experts working together, Nine Corpses is truly blessed.]
You're thinking this in your heart—
Not long after, because of your outstanding contributions, the Heavenly Emperor decided to impart all his life's skills to you.
[Upon receiving this, you looked to your master and grandmaster. After obtaining their permission, the Heavenly Emperor bestowed upon you the unparalleled divine power of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, as well as the Heavenly Emperor Sword Technique, which he created himself.]
The Green-Robed Sword Saint stroked his beard and smiled: "Having received this inheritance, you should diligently cultivate it." The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor also cast approving glances, and the figures of the three Saint-level experts slowly dissipated into the void.
[Upon returning to the Sword Domain, you will record the Thirty-Six Swords of the Azure Robe, the Heavenly Emperor Sword Technique, the cultivation method of the Immortal Golden Body, and the peerless divine power One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones into the inheritance jade slip.]
[This simulation has ended.]
You can choose one of the following three items.
【One, Nine Yang Divine Mushroom】
[Part Two: The Imperishable Body of the Great Sun]
[Three, Your Inheritance Jade Slip]
