Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

The golden flames burned fiercely, incinerating a large amount of impurities to ash, causing the volume of the Metal and Iron Qi to shrink by more than half.

This Metal and Iron Qi was tempered to become even more solid, eventually turning from illusion to reality, forming a palm-sized Golden Mountain!

The Golden Mountain stood grand and imposing amidst the sea of fire.

No matter how the True Sun Fire burned, there was no sign of melting at all.

Reaching this step meant more than half of the process was successfully completed.

"Water, come!"

Lu Yuan shouted once again.

Spiritual Energy surged like a torrent, condensing into a fist-sized Essence of the Water Path, pouring over the surface of the Golden Mountain.

"Sizzle!"

The Golden Mountain, heated by flames, made a sizzling sound upon contact with the Essence of the Water Path, emitting streams of blue smoke.

The originally palm-sized Golden Mountain now shrunk again, ultimately to the size of a fingertip!

If a Refining Dao Grandmaster were here, they would surely gasp in shock.

Because the method Lu Yuan used was the legendary Water and Fire Refining technique, which can eliminate impurities in treasures to the greatest extent.

This method was created by ancient sages and had long disappeared in the River of Time!

"Wood, come!"

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn.

This was the most crucial step, absolutely not allowing any mistakes.

The Three-Inch Spirit Embryo from his sea of consciousness leaped out, performing incantations and making hand seals, painting talismans out of thin air.

The Spirit Embryo's ten fingers moved rapidly, almost forming afterimages, with the traces drawn by the fingertips seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe.

Just a glance at it would make one feel dizzy.

Then.

A verdant rune slowly emerged from the void.

The rune shimmered with divine light, exuding a dense vitality.

As soon as it appeared.

All the vegetation within a ten-mile radius grew wildly!

"Go!"

Lu Yuan's Spirit Embryo flicked a finger.

The verdant rune transformed into a stream of light, merging with the fingertip-sized Golden Mountain.

The body was tempered by water and fire, the soul was bestowed with Wood Dao!

At the moment of their fusion.

The Golden Mountain trembled violently, bursting with a brilliant five-element divine radiance!

When the light faded away.

A fingertip-sized Five Elements Divine Mountain silently floated above the palm of Lu Yuan's Spirit Embryo.

This Divine Mountain was divided into five colors, majestic and grand, heavy and ancient.

Though only the size of a fingertip, it had an aura of being unyielding to fire, impenetrable by water, unmovable by wind, enduring a thousand calamities while remaining unmoved.

The Three-Inch Spirit Embryo had deep, profound eyes, and its body was engulfed in golden flames.

It held fire in its right hand and supported the Five Elements Divine Mountain with its left.

Its presence commanded respect, like an Ancient Divine King overlooking all beings!

"Finally done."

Lu Yuan showed a slight smile, feeling relieved in his heart.

The Stone Turtle Carrying Mountain technique was good but too heavy and cumbersome.

So he blazed a new trail, extracting the essence of the technique and integrating it into the Five Elements Technique.

In this way.

He could not only absorb the Power of Mountains to increase his own power but also retain the transformations of the Five Elements.

Whether in combat power or destructiveness, he was far superior to before!

Meanwhile.

At the moment Lu Yuan condensed this Five Elements Divine Mountain.

His aura surged dramatically, directly stepping into the Late Stage of the Spirit Embryo Realm!

Moreover, his body felt light as a swallow, as if he had shed an invisible mountain, no longer burdened and strained!

This also meant.

Lu Yuan had completely mastered this formidable power, no longer getting stuck underground like before.

"Whoosh!"

He exerted force with his legs, leaping out of the deep pit, landing steadily on the back of the Fierce-maned Horse.

"Let's go, it's time to see the Great Yu City."

Lu Yuan pulled the reins.

The Fierce-maned Horse turned into a stream of light, racing towards the distance.

Lu Yuan did not cultivate along the way, speeding up their journey considerably.

In just two days, they passed through the primeval forest and arrived at a stretch of hills.

The hills spanned vast and far, mostly consisting of flat land.

Looking around, many tents were set up throughout the hills.

And there were vast herds of cattle, sheep, and horses grazing leisurely on the grassland.

As soon as he stepped into these hills, Lu Yuan felt the Spiritual Energy here was extremely active, several dozen times more concentrated than the area where the Great Wind Tribe was located.

And at the end of the hills, there lay a grand and gigantic city.

To call it a city would be inadequate; it was more like a small country.

That's because the area of the giant city was so vast, one couldn't see its end at a glance.

Lofty city walls stretched hundreds of miles, like a giant lying across the wilderness, offering a powerful visual impact.

In addition.

There were also numerous caravans composed of horses and carriages, converging from all directions, transporting large quantities of goods into the city.

"Great Yu City, as the fief of the Youyu Clan, has stood since the Ancient Era, and is one of the few remaining cities in the Great Wilderness."

"Compared to Great Yu City, our tribe seems as shabby as a pigsty."

Lu Yuan thought to himself with emotion.

The Great Wilderness is said to have a hundred thousand tribes, but most of them, to evade the persecution of the Great Court Country, hide in the deep mountains and forests, leading an isolated life.

Therefore, clans capable of establishing cities in the Great Wilderness often possess unimaginable foundations and backgrounds.

The Youyu Clan is the descendant of Ancient Emperor Shun, with an extraordinary bloodline and formidable power.

Precisely for this reason.

They have not declined for hundreds of thousands of years, and even the Great Court Country is unwilling to provoke conflicts with them lightly.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing sound suddenly came from mid-air.

Lu Yuan raised his hand to look, only to see a purple streak of light shooting across the sky, heading straight for the giant city ahead.

Transforming into a long rainbow and Flying in the Sky.

Judging by the speed, it was at least a Divine Bridge Realm expert!

Qi Refining, visualization, Spirit Embryo—these are just the Basic Three Realms.

Once Qi Refiners break through these three significant barriers, they can take Heaven and Earth as their teacher, observing the Dao Marks of all things and imprint them into their own flesh and bones.

Thus, this realm is also known as the Inscription Realm.

But if they want to progress further.

They need to transform themselves into a Divine Bridge, communicating with heaven and earth, and perfecting their Dao Marks so they can evolve into Heaven and Earth Laws!

At this realm.

With a mere thought, they can draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth for their use.

Raising a hand or a foot, they can stir up storms and seas, unleashing incomparably terrifying power!

"Divine Bridge Realm experts already hold sway in a region in the Great Wilderness, yet in this Great Yu City, they are a common sight, which alone testifies to the strength of the Youyu Clan."

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

But it was only natural.

After all, the Youyu Clan is one of the Six Great Super Tribes of the Great Wilderness.

Not only do they boast tens of millions of clansmen, but they are also teeming with powerful experts and emerging geniuses.

Only such super tribes are qualified to contend with the Great Court Country!

"Let's go, we shall head to Great Yu City as well."

Lu Yuan instructed, and the Fierce-maned Horse began walking toward Great Yu City on its own.

But mountain sights kill horses.

The giant city ahead seemed not far, but even with the foot strength of the Fierce-maned Horse, it took quite a while before finally reaching the city gates.

The gates of Great Yu City were several hundred feet wide, built with extreme grandeur.

But because there were too many caravans and people entering the city, several long queues had formed.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to dismount, lining up at the back of the queue.

He waited for quite some time.

Finally, it was Lu Yuan's turn.

"This gentleman, there have been many spies from the Great Court causing disruptions lately, please demonstrate a Contemplation Method to confirm whether you are from the Great Wilderness."

A middle-aged guard in armor said very politely.

His level of politeness surprised Lu Yuan a bit.

However, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and understood the reason behind it.

This middle-aged guard, who has been guarding the city gate for years, has likely developed quite a keen eye.

And although Lu Yuan was dressed in coarse beast garments, looking shabby and simple.

During his journey crossing ten thousand great mountains alone, he had encountered numerous Exotic Beasts.

He had long accumulated a strong aura of Evil Qi that even startled surrounding Qi Refiners!

Not to mention.

The Fierce-maned Horse beside Lu Yuan was shiny and strong, clearly an extraordinary steed.

Besides, he was young yet dared to travel alone, indicating that he mustn't be from an ordinary family.

Understanding this, the middle-aged guard treated him with such respect.

Lu Yuan didn't waste words either; with a slight mental motion, he directly manifested the Wind and Fire Burning the World Totem of the Great Wind Tribe.

However, upon seeing this, the middle-aged guard was dumbfounded.

In all his years of guarding the city gate, he had never once seen this so-called Wind and Fire Totem!
