Chapter 105 Another Simulation, The True Instructions of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, First Encounter with Xiao Xiao

"call……"

Lu Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a golden arrow of energy that shot out into the air. The scorching heat instantly melted a thumb-sized, pitch-black hole in the ground.

Feeling the boundless and powerful battle qi within his body, and the unshakeable peak realm, a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

At the peak of the Dou Wang level at the age of seventeen, he also possesses three different flames, making his combat power enough to overwhelm ordinary Dou Zong!
"Xun'er, it'll be soon..."

"Wait a few more years for me..."

"Once I achieve the position of Dou Sheng, I will personally go to the ancient clans to bring you back."

Lu Yu's fingertips lightly brushed against the storage ring at his waist, and a warm jade slip quietly fell into his palm. It was the Emperor's Seal Technique given to him by Xun'er before their parting, and it still retained a faint fragrance of orchids.

"wait for me……"

He murmured softly, his fingers slowly closing to grip the jade pendant tightly. The image of that breathtakingly beautiful smile flashed through his mind, and his heart warmed.

Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from outside the quiet room.

"Mr. Lu, have you finished your seclusion?"

Hua She'er's voice rang out from outside the door, respectfully saying, "Her Majesty the Queen requests your presence."

Lu Yu's expression hardened, and he quickly composed himself. When he pushed open the stone door, his eyes were clear.

"lead the way."

His voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Yes."

Hua She'er glanced at Lu Yu's aura out of the corner of her eye and was shocked—Peak Dou Wang?!

She hurriedly lowered her head to hide the shock in her eyes and said respectfully, "Sir, please follow me..."

……

After a while,

Inside the temple of the Serpent People, candlelight flickered.

Queen Medusa leaned back on her throne, her exquisite face slightly pale. Beside her, Yue Mei stood respectfully, her slender waist as supple as a serpent, her eyes exuding a myriad of charms.

"Has the gentleman arrived?"

Sensing the presence coming from outside the palace, Medusa forced herself to stand up.

Lu Yu stepped inside, his gaze lingering on her weakened state for a moment before he raised an eyebrow as if he had just understood something. With a flick of his sleeve, wisps of golden pagoda fire receded from Medusa's body and disappeared into the pagoda.

"call……"

Medusa felt a sudden lightness throughout her body. With a gentle wave of her jade hand, a crystal-clear jade bottle slid out from her sleeve. The bottle was filled with a shimmering, seven-colored light, and one could vaguely see the movement of essence blood within it.

"This is the essence blood of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python that you requested, sir."

Her voice was weak but still authoritative as she said, "I wonder about that Soul-Splitting Pill..."

Lu Yu didn't say much, and took out a cold jade pill box. The moment the lid was opened, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and a crystal-clear pill lay quietly inside, its surface flowing with strange light patterns.

"Take this pill, and I will help you cure your multiple souls disease."

Lu Yu handed the jade box to Medusa.

Medusa took the elixir and swallowed it without hesitation.

"boom!"

In an instant, a dazzling seven-colored light burst forth from her body, and vaguely, a phantom image of a giant python shot out from her body, struggling painfully above her head.

Lu Yu's gaze remained calm as the Floating Pagoda flew out from his palm, its base spewing forth jet-black chains that instantly entangled the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python.

The python's soul struggled violently, but it was no match for the suppressive power of the Floating Pagoda and was eventually completely stripped away.

"receive!"

With a soft shout from Lu Yu, the soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python was forcibly pulled into the tower.

"Um……"

Medusa groaned, her face paling even more, but a long-lost look of relief appeared in her purple eyes.

She bowed slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, sir."

"It's just a matter of each getting what they need," Lu Yu said calmly, waving his hand.

Now that the soul and essence of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python have been obtained, along with the Azure Jade Lotus Root acquired earlier, the materials for refining Qinglin's natal Gu have finally been gathered.

"You should rest and recover."

Lu Yu tossed over a few bottles of healing pills and instructed, "Once your injuries have healed, come with me to the Chuyun Empire."

Medusa accepted the pill, a complex light flickering in her purple eyes. Her crimson lips parted slightly: "Sir, your kindness is immeasurable. The Serpent Clan has no way to repay you. We wish to honor you as our Supreme Elder. We do not know…"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yu shook his head, chuckled, and turned to leave.

Only a faint sentence echoed in the hall:
"Do what you're supposed to do."

……

Soon after,

Inside a side hall,

Lu Yu handed the black pagoda and a storage ring to Qing Lin, solemnly instructing, "The soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python is sealed inside the pagoda, and the storage ring contains the other materials needed to refine its natal Gu."

"Remember, there is only one set of these materials. If you fail, it will be difficult to find a second set in the short term. You should prepare for a while longer. When everything is ready, I will personally help you refine it."

Qinglin nodded earnestly, her emerald eyes filled with determination, and solemnly said, "Young Master, rest assured, Qinglin will make careful preparations."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, then turned to Little Fairy Doctor beside him and asked, "Where are Elder Hai and the others?"

Little Fairy Doctor said softly, "I'm waiting for you in the next hall..."

Before the words were finished, a familiar voice called out from outside the hall: "Young Lu, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Lu Yu turned his head and saw Hai Bodong leading Jia Xingtian and others as they stepped in.

"Elder Hai." Lu Yu bowed respectfully.

Hai Bodong laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Is everything settled? Why don't you come with me to the Mittel family for a few drinks?"

"There are still some trivial matters to be taken care of."

Lu Yu said apologetically, "I will need to travel to the Izumo Empire soon, so I won't have any free time for the time being."

As he spoke, he took out several bottles of pills from his pocket and handed them over: "These are fifth-grade Concealing Breath Pills that I refined, as an apology. Once the matter of the Izumo Empire is settled, I will definitely pay you a visit." Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he did not stand on ceremony and simply put the pills into his storage ring.

He stroked his long, snow-white beard and laughed heartily, "No problem! I will wait for good news at the Mittel family."

As he spoke, the Ice Emperor's gaze suddenly deepened, and he said meaningfully, "You kid, you're destined to be an eagle soaring in the heavens. The shallow waters of the Gama Empire have long been unable to accommodate a true dragon like you."

He patted Lu Yu on the shoulder heavily and laughed loudly, "Go! When you become famous throughout the continent, don't forget to come back and visit us old folks!"

Seeing this, Jia Xingtian quickly stepped forward, took out a gilded token from his robes, handed it to Lu Yu, and whispered, "Young friend Lu, this is the Purple Gold Token of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family. The holder of this token is a distinguished guest of our royal family..."

Mu Chen quickly stepped forward, handing over a jade token, saying, "This belongs to my Mu family..."

While everyone was trying to curry favor, only Mittel Tengshan stood there with a smile, showing no intention of joining in the fun.

He chuckled inwardly: His master Hai had already made contact with this promising young powerhouse, so why should he go to all this trouble?
Rather than adding to the already splendid situation, it's better to let Mr. Hai enjoy this favor alone.

……

Soon after,

After everyone took their leave, the hall returned to silence.

Lu Yu sat alone in a quiet room. With a thought, a pale blue light screen slowly unfolded like ripples on water.

"The month is up, it's time..."

His gaze narrowed slightly, and as his thoughts raced, the light screen suddenly lit up, displaying countless words that flowed and appeared like a galaxy.

[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host—]

[Selection successful. Please choose one of the following three roles.]

[I. Nine Nether Guard of the Great Luo Heaven Domain – You are a Nine Nether Guard under the Great Luo Heaven Domain, a top-tier power in the northern realm of the Tianluo Continent. Due to the long-term disappearance of the Lord of the Nine Nether Palace, your situation in the Great Luo Heaven Domain is not optimistic.]

[Second, Disciple of the Xuantian Palace—You are a disciple of the Human-Demon Elder, one of the three elders of the Xuantian Palace, a top-tier power in the Northern Realm of the Tianluo Continent.]

[Third, True Disciple of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion—You are a true disciple of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master, a first-rate force in the Northern Realm of the Tianluo Continent, possessing superior talent and aptitude.]

Please make your choice——

"They are all forces from the northern border of the Tianluo Continent..."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, lost in thought. In the northern border of the Tianluo Continent, only forces with a Supreme Earthly Sovereign in charge can be called top-tier forces, while forces with a Supreme of the seventh rank or above are ranked first-class.

"First, let's eliminate the Nine Nether Guards as a dud. As for the Human Demon Elder of the Profound Heaven Palace, if my memory serves me correctly, he should be an Eighth-Rank Supreme..."

"As a first-rate power, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, due to the compromises among all parties, although lacking a supreme being to oversee it, has been stationed at the entrance to the Dragon Phoenix Heaven for many years, never participating in external conflicts and rarely making enemies. The Pavilion Master is even at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Grade Supreme, just one step away from becoming a supreme being..."

"Moreover……"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he murmured to himself, "The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has been guarding Dragon and Phoenix Heaven for so many years, they must have amassed quite a few treasures. Those are relics left behind by true dragons and phoenixes at the Heavenly Sovereign level! Even a little bit of the spoils would be enough for me to make a fortune!"

"That's it!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Yu made a decisive choice.

[Selection successful! Identity loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

[In your first year, at the age of six, you were exceptionally gifted with a level four earth vein, and the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master made an exception and accepted you as his personal disciple. This decision caused a great uproar within the pavilion, with many disciples discussing it and expressing their dissatisfaction.]

[In the second year, you were given the opportunity to soak in diluted true dragon essence blood and cultivate the secret "Subduing Dragon Scripture" within the pavilion. Essence blood that would take other disciples several months to absorb, you completely refined in just three days.]

[The senior disciples initially mocked you, but later could only silently watch as your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Divine Soul Realm within six months. One of the elders exclaimed, "Such talent is a once-in-a-century occurrence."]

[In your third year, as the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, you began to study the incomplete version of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's supreme martial art, the True Dragon Fist. This fist technique, originating from a Great Perfection Divine Art, only has three forms remaining, but if mastered completely, its power will be comparable to a near-Great Perfection Divine Art.]

Several core disciples intended to guide you, but within three months, relying on your real-world cultivation experience, you broke through your cultivation barrier, your fists roaring like dragons, shattering the clouds for miles around.

In the fourth year, you not only perfectly mastered the first move of the True Dragon Fist, "Dragon Raises Its Head," whose power rivals that of a quasi-divine technique, but your cultivation also broke through to the Transformation Realm. Those senior brothers who once doubted you now respectfully bow to you and address you as "Senior Brother!"

[In the fifth year, you broke through to the Heavenly Realm, won first place in the Pavilion's Grand Competition, and once again gained the qualification to bathe in the essence of a true dragon, forging a pseudo-true dragon body. Your physical body is now comparable to a half-step supreme expert!]

[In the sixth year, Master's lifespan was nearing its end. Before his death, he transferred his power to you through a spiritual infusion. The spiritual power of a Ninth-Rank Supreme Perfection cultivator is as vast as the sea; even with Master's assistance, you only absorbed one or two ten-thousandths of it, and your cultivation broke through to the Supreme Realm.]

[Then, the sect leader sealed the remaining spiritual energy within your body, waiting for you to slowly absorb it...]

[In the seventh year, relying on your pseudo-True Dragon Body and level-four earth veins, you broke through to the third-rank Supreme level and cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's ancestral Supreme Dharma Body—the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, ranked seventieth. As the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's number one member, you represented the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion in the grand gathering of the younger generation in the Northern Realm: the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Battle.]

[In the second month, the Pavilion will give you all the detailed information about the Dragon-Phoenix Heaven that has been discovered over the years, and order you to collect some precious resources that grow there periodically.]

In the third month, you encountered Liu Yan of the Xuan Tian Palace, ranked fourth in the Dragon and Phoenix Records, in the Dragon and Phoenix Heaven. You fought him, unleashing the second form of the True Dragon Fist, "Dragon Battle in the Wilds," combined with your pseudo-True Dragon Body, to withstand Liu Yan's powerful divine technique. Finally, you used your Dharma Body, resulting in a draw...

In the fourth month, you stumble upon a stunningly beautiful woman bathing. While enjoying the sight, you are also relentlessly pursued by her. During the chase, you learn that her name is Xiao Xiao...

To atone for your mistake, you reluctantly gave her a bottle of diluted true dragon blood from the pavilion, secretly vowing: "A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years..."

[In the fifth month, using information from within the Pavilion, you located the most precious Dragon-Phoenix Pool in the Dragon-Phoenix Heaven. A divine Dragon-Phoenix tree grows above the pool, bearing three divine Dragon-Phoenix fruits, two large and one small.]

[Dragon and Phoenix Divine Fruit: Legend has it that this rare treasure was born from the perfect fusion of the essence and blood of a true dragon and phoenix after their fall. It is extremely rare and greatly beneficial to the evolution of divine beasts. Even if humans refine and consume it, they may be able to forge a dragon-phoenix body comparable to the legendary ancient dragon and phoenix.]

With such a treasure before you, you naturally couldn't give it up. After a fierce battle with Xiao Xiao, Mu Chen, and the others, you managed to seize a small Dragon-Phoenix Divine Fruit, albeit at the cost of serious injuries...

To avoid being discovered by outsiders, you immediately consumed the Dragon-Phoenix Divine Fruit after recovering from your injuries and began your seclusion...

[In the sixth month, you broke through the barrier, transforming from a pseudo-True Dragon Body into a True Dragon Body. Only then did you realize that what you had obtained was an immature Dragon-Phoenix Divine Fruit, while the other two, taken by Xiao Xiao and Mu Chen, were the truly mature ones...]

[In the seventh month, you leave Dragon Phoenix Heaven, only to find a girl in red blocking your way at the exit—it's none other than Xiao Xiao!]

You harbored resentment, yet were powerless to do anything but show her the Mustard Seed Bracelet. Upon discovering that you had already consumed the Dragon-Phoenix Divine Fruit, Xiao Xiao left in disappointment…

[In the eighth year, you broke through to the fourth rank of Supreme, mastered the final move of the incomplete True Dragon Fist, and succeeded to the position of Young Master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.]

In the ninth year, you had an epiphany about the power of space, breaking through to the fifth-rank Supreme Realm. Just as you were preparing to travel the world and show off your skills, you discovered that Xiao Xiao was blocking your way again!

[Having reached your breaking point, you finally confronted him, only to suffer a crushing defeat...]

[After suffering a crushing defeat in the battle, I learned that she valued your talent and wanted to invite you to join the Endless Fire Domain.]

You were overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, but in the end, you gritted your teeth and agreed, thinking to yourself, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years..."

[In the tenth year, the extraterrestrial evil race launched a great war. All the powerful beings above the Supreme level in the Endless Fire Domain participated in the war, and you died on the battlefield...]

[This simulation ends——]

You can choose one of the following three items.

【I. True Dragon Fist (Fragment, Quasi-Perfect Divine Technique)】

[Part Two: The Method of Cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body]

[Three, Dragon and Phoenix Divine Fruit (Immature Form, Heaven-Reaching Level)]
