Grandpa, times have changed.

This is the book "The Method of Deceiving Heaven and Taking the Form to Seize the World".

As the name suggests, it is a method that can deceive the will of the Taiyi Realm.

A portion of Yuan's original body has already been refined by the Taiyi Realm and integrated into the world's foundation.

The native beings who practice this method will become 'false bodies' within this method.

Not only can it ignore the various harsh requirements of the ritual cultivation system, but it can also sense the part that has been refined and integrated into the foundation of the world by the Taiyi Realm and turn it into its own.

He deceived the heavens and took their place, using the methods of this otherworldly being to steal the world's essence.

For an individual being, to be able to obtain even a fraction of the world's essence, even just a tiny bit, is an unimaginable blessing and good fortune.

Ultimately, these 'deceiving the heavens' cultivators will become a pseudo-chosen one, much weaker than the Holy Lord of Insight.

As the source of the transmission of the Dharma, he can also gradually establish a connection with the sealed "self" through these "pseudo-chosen ones".

A 'false identity' deceives the heavens and steals the world's essence.

He intends to use these 'false bodies' to seize the Taiyi Realm itself and reclaim everything that belongs to him.

This was also Yuan's ultimate purpose in piecing together this "Method of Deceiving Heaven and Taking the World in Place"—

Using a falsehood to reveal the truth!

"The seeds have been planted; now we just wait for the harvest..."

Yuan murmured softly, but his gaze never left the arena.

The battle inside the arena has now ended.

An elderly man, burly with strong features, covered in blood but with his head held high, knelt on the ground.

Time has left its mark on his face, but his golden eyes still gleam with fervor, like a lion running across the grasslands, chasing its prey.

"Come! Son! Cut off my head! And bring glory to you!"

Yes, he lost.

Even in the face of death, he maintained his morbid pursuit of 'power'.

To die at the hands of the stronger was his lifelong pursuit!

What's more, it was his own son who beheaded him!

Opposite him stood a burly, blond man holding a greatsword aloft. His powerful muscles were crisscrossed with veins that resembled coiled dragons, and his bright golden eyes were filled with the same fanaticism.

In the stands, countless spectators roared wildly.

Some even wept bitterly, overjoyed to have witnessed this rare moment.

Buzz~!

Several beams of light descended from the sky, tearing through the air with scorching and twisted marks.

They landed in the audience, enveloping the chosen ones, enabling them to complete the initial ritual, break through the limits of their life level, and step into the first stage of 'transcendent'.

Not bad!

The arena itself is a ritual.

In this frenzied atmosphere, the emotions of every living being reach their peak, and as long as the trajectory of their soul is bright enough, it can attract the world's attention.

The blond, muscular man suddenly swung his sword down.

Buzz~!

The air was torn apart with a series of explosive sounds, and the visible sword wind swept across the entire arena, the residual force of which directly crushed several spectators on both sides into a bloody mist.

The sharp blade was imbued with a high concentration of extraordinary power, bursting forth with dazzling light.

The burly old man, kneeling on the ground, narrowed his eyes, the fervor in them waned considerably, and a trace of fear finally flashed through his heart as he sensed his impending death.

dead!
right in front of you.

At that moment, he suddenly began to waver slightly in his pursuit of 'power'.

The remaining extraordinary power within him showed signs of waning due to his wavering faith.

The founder of the Holy City of Ming, sitting on the high platform, keenly noticed this scene, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

If he can hold fast to his beliefs even in the face of life and death, he might very well go further and possess the power to change the outcome...

Feeling bored, she stood up, turned around, and disappeared in a beam of light.

Just before she left, a head with dazed eyes rose high, and the magnificent headless body crashed heavily to the ground.

Wow!
The audience erupted in even more enthusiastic shouts.

……

……

In the audience, Yuan frowned after watching the whole thing.

Finally, he even rubbed his temples.

"It's a sick world; everything has gone astray."

He had fought against Xu before and had once gained the upper hand.

Therefore, it is very clear what constitutes an 'orthodox' ritual practice system.

Even the most unorthodox of the ten ritual lineages, the 'Guixu' lineage, didn't feel nearly as extreme to him as the rituals of this world.

The path taken by the extraordinary beings of the Taiyi Realm would undoubtedly be considered an 'evil path' if placed in the world of Xu.

Including the Void Supreme Lord and the Lawful Side Transcendent beings of this world!
Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and all living beings have different personalities.

Every living being is complex and multifaceted. Cultivating oneself and understanding one's own mind does not mean erasing other aspects.

Thinking about...

A streak of purple light flowed from Yuan's fingertips, sliding down the audience seats like quicksand and gradually spreading out.

They quickly reached the front of the audience and infiltrated the center of the arena.

The purple light transformed into a vast net, subtly covering the spectators who had just been affected, and...

The old man whose head was cut off by his own son in the gladiatorial combat.

At the very least, in the moment when faced with a life-or-death decision, he had a desire for 'life'.

Having faced a life-or-death situation, his thoughts are probably not as extreme as before.

Therefore, Yuan was willing to give him a chance.

"Whoo~"

He withdrew his hand, shifting his gaze from the arena to the surrounding fervent spectators.

A son murders his father, yet no one finds it wrong...

Changing a world like this is no easy task.

"Fortunately, this matter can't be resolved in a short time."

Those who practice the "Deceive Heaven and Substitute for the World" technique to seize the world's secrets need time.

It will also take him time to connect with 'himself'.

To reclaim everything by "using a falsehood to gain the truth" requires considerable time for planning and preparation.

Even after reclaiming everything, he still wants to find a way to revive Yinling through the spiritual traces formed by the burning of his spirituality.

The search for the way home...

It seems likely that this will be postponed indefinitely.

……

……

"Using a false body to steal the world's laws, the true self uses the false to ascend to the true..."

High above, isolated in the Taiyi Realm, Huo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the arena of the Mingsi Holy City.

More accurately, it landed on Abyss, who was in a corner of the arena's audience seats.

"Not bad, not bad. This 'Deceiving Heaven and Substituting Form to Seize the World' is indeed the best solution for the current situation."

Given Yuan's current state, it's already quite impressive that he's achieved this much.

"Unfortunately, the idea is still naive..."

Many things in this world won't happen just because you do them well enough.

Thinking they had considered everything thoroughly, thinking they could do everything perfectly, thinking they could bear all the consequences...

"Ah."

He gave a self-deprecating laugh. Then, his fingertips began to move.

A mysterious 'change' radiated outwards, stretching from the highest, sealed-off point to the entire world.

Deceiving Heaven and Acting as a Disguise...

This might work in other worlds, but in this world...

That old man is restless even in death; stealing it rashly could corrupt him.

He only wanted Yuan to 'awaken', not to destroy his path.

Behind him, the light silver sphere that was playing cards with Yinling trembled, and the cards floating in front of it almost fell down.

In the past few days, He has seen a variety of complex expressions on the face of this Lord of Doubt and Confusion more than once.

I hope I won't be silenced later!
Yinling, who was opposite Him, was still deep in thought.

Ultimately, it was just an inexperienced 'spirit', too naive in the face of the will of a world.

……

……

Three days later in the blink of an eye.

Yuan has left the Holy City of Mingsi and is wandering around the Taiyi Continent.

Aside from gifting some creatures in the city the "Method of Deceiving Heaven and Taking the World in Place of Others," he did not change anything.

Although he wanted to change the world, he was also well aware of his current situation.

The seed of the 'false body' had only just been planted, and he himself was merely a wisp of awakened consciousness. He could never possibly be a match for the entire Taiyi Realm in a direct confrontation.

The best strategy is to play it safe and wait for the 'fake bodies' to grow up.

Thus, he traveled across the Taiyi Continent, selecting suitable beings to teach him the "Deceive Heaven and Substitute for the World Method".

Although the Holy Lord of Insight was anxious, he really had no way to deal with Yuan, who was determined to hide.

Left with no other choice, he began preparing to attack the Void Extreme Sacred Domain.

After all, if we're going to use those two outsiders as a threat, we have to force them out of the Void Extreme Sacred Domain first!
Fortunately, he had already regained his status as the 'Chosen One,' and with the assistance of 'divine will,' setting up the corresponding rituals did not take too long.

If the treasure vault hadn't been emptied, the ceremony could have been arranged much faster...

emm...

It is due to interference from some higher-level force.

The Holy Lord of Insight did not realize that he could, just as before, use the safety of the 108th Heaven to force the Holy Lord of Void to leave the Void Sacred Domain.

……

……

The Sacred Realm of Emptiness.

A long-awaited sunny day has arrived.

outside the city.

The crystal pillars lining both sides shimmered with rainbow colors in the sunlight, and even the figures sealed within, dressed in magnificent golden robes and wearing crowns, seemed to possess a stronger vitality.

"be careful."

The Holy Lord of the Void handed over two prisms with light blue exteriors and pure white cores.

During this period, she...

Or perhaps the Abyss Realm has conducted more in-depth research and has incorporated some of its characteristics into its own system.

This prism is the result of her adding new features, making it even more capable of breaking through blockades.

“Through the traces left by the Abyss Realm Insight, I can sense that his previous injuries have healed.”

Her tone carried a hint of solemnity.

That injury was caused by a higher level of power...

Dongming recovered so quickly!
Honestly, if she had suffered the same level of injury, she could never have recovered so quickly.

Clearly, there was intervention from the 'divine will' of the Taiyi Realm.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu put away the prism handed over by the Holy Lord of the Void.

"Well, we'll be careful."

The two of them finally couldn't hold back any longer.

After all, the Abyss, or something related to it, is very likely in Chongxiao Heaven. This alone is enough for the two of them to leave the Void Extreme Sacred Domain and go to Chongxiao Heaven to find out.

If it weren't for the clear understanding that the Holy Lord is the 'Chosen One' of this world, and the knowledge that the will of the Taiyi Realm is not friendly to outsiders, thus requiring some preparations to avoid being intercepted along the way...

They rushed to 'Chongxiaotian' the moment they noticed something was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Kongji, you should also be careful."

"rest assured."

If the 'divine will' of the Taiyi Realm could act against its native inhabitants without restriction, then the Holy Lord of Dongming would not have needed to threaten her with the survival of the 108 Heavens.

Clearly, 'divine will' imposes certain restrictions on native creatures.

Then, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu leaped into the air.

Once they reached a certain height, they transformed into two streaks of light and sped away from the Void Extreme Sacred Domain.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the boundary of the space where the Void Extreme Sacred Domain was located. However, as a slight ripple appeared in the sky, the two crossed the boundary of the space and headed to the Taiyi Continent.

……

……

The ruins of the Void.

It was still the same spot where I first appeared when I left the Void Sacred Domain.

Above the ruins, the vibrant colored lights that once stretched for nearly a thousand kilometers have disappeared.

In its place came a dark purple light, a dark purple light tide with strong corrosive properties. Those creatures and superhumans that had mutated due to the high concentration of energy had long since disappeared.

Within a radius of nearly a thousand kilometers, there was not a trace of life.

Previously, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu had briefly clashed with the Holy Master Dongming in this vicinity.

The power left behind by the Holy Lord of Insight once again altered the environment here, eradicating the distorted ecosystem born from the erosion of high-concentration energy.

"If we can come back this time, let's clean up the remaining forces here," Ning Wanzhu said.

Mingyu: "..."

What does "if he can come back this time" mean?
That sounds very unlucky!
The next second, Ning Wanzhu's expression changed, as if she had realized something.

"go!"

He grabbed Mingyu and sped away into the distance.

Previously, when she was in the Holy Domain of Insight, she had used the "Spiritual Sound Heart Canon" to observe the mind of the Holy Lord of Insight when he was injured by the power of Insight.

Just now.

It seemed to be a tiny, fleeting moment of relaxation, but she once again sensed the mental fluctuations of the Insightful Saint Lord nearby.

"Hehehe! I didn't expect you guys to come out on your own..."

Amidst the cold laughter, a shadow composed of 'disorder' and 'chaos' appeared, heavy and violent, as if a will that reigned supreme over everything had suddenly descended.

An invisible pressure from all directions surged forth, transforming into chains that bound Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu, who were rapidly moving away.

This time, the Holy Lord of Dongming actually used the power of the Taiyi Realm to suppress the two of them.

In a fraction of a second, the omnipresent suppression of the world reduced their escape speed to the level of an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator.

A speed that he could easily catch up with.

But the Holy Lord of Insight was not in a hurry to take action.

The dark purple light rose high into the sky, projecting the events that were happening near the Void Relics onto the Taiyi Continent and the 108 Heavens.

The two, who had originally planned to use the prism given to them by the Holy Lord of the Void, immediately felt a familiar gaze.

Crossing thousands of mountains, it arrives right in front of you.

Surprised, puzzled...

But more than anything, I felt guilty. (End of Chapter)
