Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1123 - 586: Eighth Life: Celestial Secret Daoist, Supreme Origin Divine Realm! (Part 2)
Previously on Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!...
"Since you’re here, fellow Daoist, why not show yourself?"
The moment those words landed, a booming laugh reverberated through the void.
"Immortal Emperor Lu is indeed extraordinary, sensing our presence beforehand."
Along with the voice, an elder with a youthful face and crane-white hair, radiating an immortal presence, strode forth on the Law Dao, manifesting instantly above the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
"I am the Celestial Secret Daoist, greetings fellow Daoist!"
The elder clad in hemp robes hunched with age, his face etched with deep wrinkles and age spots, radiating dense death qi, indistinguishable from a mortal teetering on death's edge.
However, the instant the other Ming Dao Venerables caught the name Celestial Secret Daoist, their faces twisted in utter shock, as if an impossible truth had just been revealed.
"Celestial Secret Daoist? Wasn’t he slain by the combined forces of various Dao lineages? How could he still be alive?"
Numerous seasoned Venerables exclaimed in disbelief.
Legends told of the Celestial Secret Daoist as a famed Half-Step Immortal Emperor from hundreds of thousands of years past.
He rose to Venerable rank via fateful fortune, transforming disasters into boons, seizing the world's destiny for his gain, proclaiming mastery over heaven's every secret.
Yet the Celestial Secret Daoist’s rise subtly endangered the great Dao lineages.
His constant rejections of their summons provoked the Divine Fire Sect’s fury, prompting them to unite with allies, unleash the Immortal Soldier of Attainment, and execute him decisively.
No one could have foreseen that the Celestial Secret Daoist endured unscathed until this very moment!
Lu Yuan remained utterly composed, however; in the talent-packed Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, evading a pursuit from an Immortal Dao Lineage was hardly unheard of.
"Have you also suffered an Injury of the Great Dao?"
Lu Yuan closely examined the Celestial Secret Daoist before dropping his stunning observation.
"Fellow Daoist truly has remarkable powers, seeing through my injuries at a glance."
The Celestial Secret Daoist’s heart jolted; he offered a wry smile while shaking his head.
Chased relentlessly by Divine Fire Sect experts in those days, he had escaped by a hair’s breadth, only to suffer a devastating strike from the Immortal Soldier of Attainment that left him unhealed ever since!
"The evildoings of the Divine Fire Sect’s Immortal Dao Lineage were numerous. Fellow Daoist eradicating them completely is like fulfilling an old wish for me as well."
"Thus, I came specifically to thank you upon learning of this."
The Celestial Secret Daoist cupped his fists respectfully.
"No need for formalities, I only destroyed the Divine Fire Sect to settle personal grievances, not deserving of such concern from you."
Lu Yuan replied indifferently, refusing to lower his guard despite the Celestial Secret Daoist’s politeness.
An Injury of the Great Dao proved nearly impossible to cure.
Struck hard by the Immortal Soldier of Attainment, the Celestial Secret Daoist had also endured massive Origin harm, plunging him into desperation.
Without swift recovery, his remaining days were few.
Thus, why would he risk everything for something so minor?
"To be frank, I am gravely injured and have little time left."
"I came this time without any ill intent, only to offer a reminder."
A bitter smile crossed the Celestial Secret Daoist’s face, clearly reading Lu Yuan’s deep caution and vigilance.
"What do you mean by this?"
Lu Yuan’s face flickered subtly, curiosity stirring within him.
"This place is crowded with prying eyes. Could we possibly continue this conversation elsewhere?"
The Celestial Secret Daoist grew solemn, hinting at the gravity of his forthcoming words.
"Very well."
Lu Yuan agreed with a nod, deactivating the Sect Protection Array to let the Celestial Secret Daoist land on the Main Peak.
Next, he erected multiple layers of prohibitions, severing all forms of spying.
Bolstered by these arrays and barriers, even a Peak Immortal Emperor—much less a Half-Step Immortal Emperor—could never pierce the defenses.
Moreover, should the Celestial Secret Daoist harbor evil designs, Lu Yuan could crush him instantly via these restrictions.
The Celestial Secret Daoist raised no protest, entering the Sect Hall without delay.
"Celestial Secret Daoist, for what purpose have you visited this time?"
Lu Yuan inquired directly.
"Have you ever heard of the Supreme Origin Divine Realm?"
Rather than reply straight away to Lu Yuan’s question, the Celestial Secret Daoist countered with his own query.
"Supreme Origin Divine Realm? Do you mean..."
Lu Yuan’s brow furrowed as he mulled it over briefly, then jolted in realization, as though striking upon a revelation.
"Indeed."
The Celestial Secret Daoist nodded affirmatively, validating Lu Yuan’s hunch.
"Being Quasi-Immortal Emperors, we naturally know deeper hidden secrets."
"Furthermore, since you're a reincarnated Great Power from the Outer Domain, you're surely here chasing the legacy of the Supreme Origin Saint Master."
Celestial Secret Daoist held nothing back, disclosing every bit of knowledge he possessed.
Listening to his explanation, Lu Yuan at last grasped the full picture.
From what Celestial Secret Daoist described,
the Supreme Origin Divine Realm served as the enlightenment ground for the Supreme Origin Saint Master, and the site of his demise—it forms the heart of this world.
Upon his fall, the Supreme Origin Saint Master deposited his entire cultivation and Law Origin right here in this realm.
Whoever manages to claim his Divine Collection would gain the complete inheritance from the Supreme Origin Saint Master, rising as the ruler over this world.
"You must know that Immortal Emperors periodically depart from this world."
"They stake their lives to exit this realm just to plunge into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm and hunt for the Divine Collection bequeathed by the Supreme Origin Saint Master."
"It's not only them—even supreme entities from the Outer Domain are fiercely competing to seize this realm."
As Celestial Secret Daoist mentioned this, a glint of dread appeared in his gaze.
In those days, gravely injured, he roamed the outer reaches of space yet fortuitously discovered luck in disaster, chancing upon a gateway to the Supreme Origin Divine Realm.
Yet the instant he crossed that gateway into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, an indelible scene burned into his memory.
Supreme existences from the Outer Domain loomed like primordial gods high in the skies.
Their forms blurred, incomprehensible, unseen, beyond words.
Crushing divine might permeated all spaces between heaven and earth.
Simply beholding it nearly crushed Celestial Secret Daoist's divine soul, almost causing his instant demise and the destruction of his Dao.
Only his swift withdrawal saved him from dying in that divine realm!
"Ancient deities from the Outer Domain?"
These words plunged Lu Yuan into deep silence.
Originating from the Main World, he held secrets surpassing those of Celestial Secret Daoist.
Unless he erred,
the primordial entities Celestial Secret Daoist described were probably the God of Illusion and the Blood God—those sinister deities!
Such deities had forged Divine Countries and forged their Divine Formats as Tenth Rank Main Gods.
Their fearsome strength far outstripped what Attainment Immortal Emperors could match.
Were it not for the special nature of the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm barring those primordial deities from direct descent,
Celestial Secret Daoist would have instantly shattered his mind upon glimpsing their true appearances, descending into madness and instant death!
"My stay was short, yet I distinctly sensed the laws in the Supreme Origin Divine Realm vastly differ from this world's Heaven and Earth Laws."
"Should we remain there awhile, we'd not just heal our wounds fully—we could grasp the opportunity to break through straight to the Emperor Realm!"
Noticing Lu Yuan's quiet demeanor, Celestial Secret Daoist quickly added.
"You're correct; this divine realm holds unparalleled wonders. Prolonged cultivation within could make Immortal Emperor of Attainment merely the beginning."
After a brief reflection, Lu Yuan at last responded.
Per the Will of the Heavens, the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm was an illusory realm woven by the God of Illusion through deceptions and mirages.
However, the Supreme Origin Saint Master achieved godhood via the Refining Dao, mastering the art of turning illusions real and voids into substance.
As the attainment site of the Supreme Origin Saint Master, the Supreme Origin Divine Realm stood apart from countless world domains.
Because it genuinely existed!
Exactly as Celestial Secret Daoist stated, long-term cultivation in that divine realm would allow effortless enlightenment to emperordom,
and perhaps even the fortune to claim every legacy of the Supreme Origin Saint Master, soaring to supreme godhood!
"Your healing progress impresses, yet I detect that, like myself, traces of an Injury of the Great Dao linger in you."
"The Injury of the Great Dao defies cure. Fellow Daoist, why not join forces with me to venture into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm?"
Celestial Secret Daoist eyed Lu Yuan intently, at last voicing his true purpose.
