Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 236 - 221: Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate!

Twenty years later.

At the summit of Immortal Dust Mountain in the Central Plains.

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged at the summit, gazing at the endless sea of clouds and looking out to the extreme end of the sky.

Around him,

a streak of Golden Light flickered, tracing countless paths.

Lu Qingfeng stretched out his palm, and the Golden Light fell into it, revealing its true form—

Shaped like a silkworm, colored golden yellow.

It was indeed the 'Golden Silkworm Gu.'

Refining the Golden Silkworm Gu was extremely difficult; for Lu Qingfeng to refine it within the desolate Sky Witch Realm was even harder. Fortunately, he unified the One Realm using the Yinfu Sect, scouring all resources of the realm, and only then could he barely gather enough materials for two attempts.

The first attempt failed.

The second attempt was successful.

After nearly two hundred years, he finally succeeded in refining the Golden Silkworm Gu before his death in his previous life.

The past life laid the groundwork.

This life reaps the benefits.

"Capture!"

Lu Qingfeng performed a Seal Technique with his hand, and the Golden Silkworm Gu actually burrowed into the flesh of his palm. The flesh was translucent, and one could see a golden silkworm advancing within his flesh.

It traveled along the arm straight to the heart, where it coiled and rested.

Thump!

Thump thump!

The heart beat, the blood lively. The Golden Silkworm Gu devoured voraciously, continuously drawing blood from Lu Qingfeng's heart.

Lu Qingfeng's complexion quickly paled.

But his eyes became increasingly bright.

Inner Breath circulated, the spell was in his heart.

The Golden Silkworm Gu, previously stable and resting in the heart, feasting on the host's blood to nourish itself, suddenly startled, sensing the terror of life and death. It tensed up, its eyes agile and fearful.

Lu Qingfeng's mind remained unmoved.

One by one, Seal Techniques were cast, wrapping around and sealing the heart.

The Golden Silkworm Gu panicked, trying to escape.

Seal Techniques, seals, turned into a misty shroud, enveloping the Golden Silkworm Gu. The Golden Silkworm Gu charged fiercely, indeed breaking out of the heart, wildly crashing within Lu Qingfeng's body.

Crack!

Crack!

The Golden Silkworm Gu, while crashing around, gnawed on something, producing sounds.

"Ah!"

"Pain pain pain!"

"Pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain!"

Lu Qingfeng howled to the sky, experiencing pain far worse than death, far worse than being cursed to death. Lu Qingfeng felt as if his Divine Soul were being gnawed upon.

Being eaten away bit by bit by the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Every bite made his whole body tremble involuntarily, only by roaring could he find some relief.

Hoarse and exhausted.

Pain pierced his soul.

Atop Immortal Dust Mountain, countless disciples of the Yinfu Sect were horrified. They had no idea what had happened on the mountain to make the Sect Leader, almost like an Immortal, emit such a roar.

But the Sect Leader had strictly ordered that no one from the Yinfu Sect should ascend to the summit of Immortal Dust Mountain.

The sect members could only speculate, not daring to violate the order.

Atop Immortal Dust Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng was dripping with sweat, his face ashen and colorless, continuously roaring, rolling on the ground, hitting the rocks.

Bang!

Boom!

The rocks were sturdy but shattered by Lu Qingfeng's impact. His body showed numerous bloodstains, and even sounds of bones breaking mixed with his ghostly wails and roars.

His hair disheveled, he appeared to be mad!

Time passed, unknown how long.

Perhaps it was a moment.

Perhaps a hundred years.

Some great terror descended from an unknown place, enveloping Lu Qingfeng.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The Golden Silkworm Gu felt this immense terror, becoming even more frantic, like a trapped beast, falling into a hysterical frenzy.

Lu Qingfeng roared.

From the endless pain, he sensed this great terror. It seemed as if the entire universe was gazing upon him. In Lu Qingfeng's mind flashed a mysterious and profound existence—

"Destiny!"

Lu Qingfeng's voice was hoarse, nearly exhausted.

As the great terror descended,

Boom!

The Golden Silkworm Gu within his body, rampaging back and forth, was suddenly pulverized, erased from existence.

"Puh!"

With the Lifebound Gu destroyed, Lu Qingfeng felt as if struck by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his expression quickly withering, and even the life force within him showed signs of decline, carrying the aura of twilight.

"I—"

As the pain receded, Lu Qingfeng lay on the ground, his mind a blank.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I doing?"

As the great terror dispersed and his strength gradually returned, Lu Qingfeng's consciousness recovered, memories flooding back like a tide—

"I am Lu Qingfeng."

"I am in the Sky Witch Realm."

"I am defying the heavens to change my fate!"

Lu Qingfeng, covered in blood, had an ever brighter and strikingly incandescent gaze.

...

[Name: Lu Qingfeng]

[Life Span: 20/34]

[Root Bone: 4]

Lu Qingfeng opened the attribute list, saw the changes in the data, and felt reassured.

With a thought,

a Puppet hurried over, taking Lu Qingfeng away quietly from Immortal Dust Mountain, hiding somewhere to quietly recover.

After the injuries healed.

Lu Qingfeng logged out of the game, and his consciousness returned.

...

[Name: Lu Qingfeng (True Body)]

[Life Span: 35/300]

[Root Bone: 1]

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Indeed.

The 'fate' in the game is dominated by the 'fate' of reality. Simply defying the heavens to change fate in the game, reality would change not in the slightest.

"On the contrary."

"If one defies fate and changes their life in reality, then upon rebirth in the game world, one can continuously be reborn with the attributes altered in reality, life after life."

"Root Bone will forever be 4."

Lu Qingfeng had known this all along, so he wasn't disappointed when his Root Bone didn't change in reality.

Since he could defy Fate in the game,

it was only a matter of time before he could do the same in reality.

Lu Qingfeng closed the attributes panel, ready to get up and stretch, only to find his body weak and feeble, like he had been fished out from water, almost collapsing to the ground.

"This—"

Lu Qingfeng frowned slightly.

It must be that the pain suffered in the game was too intense, so that through a sliver of consciousness connected, the pain could be projected onto his True Body in reality. Thus, his True Body in reality was also suffering the pain, nearly fainting.

"I thought junior brother truly wasn't afraid of the punishment in Xuan Yin Cave."

"Now it seems—"

Lu Qingfeng leaned against the wall, seeing Zhou Su look at him with a hint of mockery.

Zhou Su mocked the sight of Lu Qingfeng's weak and suffering True Body.

"It's still better than how Sister cries and screams every night at midnight."

Lu Qingfeng simply stayed sitting on the ground, cross-legged.

In the game, three lifetimes had passed, enduring one hundred seventy-two years.

Lu Qingfeng and Zhou Su also spent over a year and eight months in Xuan Yin Cave. The punishment of Xuan Yin Cave, both internal and external, was too much for both Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Spirit Void Practitioners.

Zhou Su, who fought Demons outside, had also experienced life and death, and had seen the big picture.

However, she still cried and wailed every night in Xuan Yin Cave.

The Yin Wind at midnight in Xuan Yin Cave was the most intense and painful. Usually, Zhou Su could endure it with her willpower, but at midnight, it exceeded her limit.

"All bark and no bite."

"You have the guts, once you're out of Xuan Yin Cave, to join me on Fierce Teeth Island to slay Demons?"

Zhou Su sneered.

"As a genius Alchemist, should I join you on the front lines and fight? Sister wouldn't be trying to take the opportunity to harm a fellow sect member, would she?" Lu Qingfeng retorted sarcastically.

Years after years in the game were exhausting.

If he didn't talk more in reality and feel the real world, even with the Yellow Court Scripture to protect his mind, Lu Qingfeng worried he would lose himself.

Previously, there was Qingyu, but now he could only make do with Zhou Su.

"Tsk tsk."

"Even though you're this weak, you don't lose any bit of that sharp tongue."

Zhou Su got up, a seductive smile on her face as she walked toward Lu Qingfeng.

Clank!

Clank!

The chains shook, making a sound. Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression unchanged.

"Pretending to be calm!"

Zhou Su suddenly sped up, launching a punch, aiming right at Lu Qingfeng's face.

"Karma Barrier—Mengxin!"

A strange force field descended, enveloping Zhou Su. She felt as if thousands of wild oxen were rampaging in her heart, faltering for a moment, the scene before her eyes disappearing. She couldn't see the sky, the ground, or Lu Qingfeng.

Bang!

The punch landed, but its force was greatly reduced.

Lu Qingfeng dodged slightly.

The punch hit the stone wall behind him, shattering countless rocks.

Zhou Su's figure stumbled.

"Karma Barrier—Concealing the Land!"

The spirit light in the Dantian vanished, and Zhou Su felt her entire body turn weak and limp, almost collapsing on the ground.

"Zhu Rong Demon God!"

Lu Qingfeng glared at Zhou Su, a Flame Demon God surged out from within him, its flames subdued. Raising its fist, it brought it crashing down.

Bang!

Boom!

Blinded and unable to summon True Yuan, Zhou Su couldn't break free from the 'Karma Barrier' difficulties imposed by Lu Qingfeng. Unable to dodge, she was immediately sent flying with a punch.

Having just crashed heavily onto the ground, a strong gust of wind attacked her.

"Lu Qingfeng!"

Zhou Su roared furiously.

Bang Bang Bang!

The Zhu Rong Demon God showed no mercy, and didn't stop its assault. Combining both punches and kicks, it hammered at Zhou Su relentlessly. Like a sandbag, she was now slammed into the ground, now smashed against the wall!

Until the tribulation was about to wane, with a thought from Lu Qingfeng, the Fire Dragon at the feet of the Zhu Rong Demon God lashed its tail fiercely, sending Zhou Su flying far away. The Demon God turned and plunged back into Lu Qingfeng's body, disappearing from sight.

Bang!

Zhou Su landed, and a loud crash echoed.

"Lu—Qing—feng!"

Huff Huff Huff!

In the Xuan Yin Cave, gusts of Yin Wind mixed with Zhou Su's suppressed low growling. Lu Qingfeng lifted his head slightly, peering through the darkness and the Yin Wind, only to see Zhou Su looking ferocious but disheveled and bruised.

Her long hair was in disarray like a madwoman.

"Show some self-respect, Sister."

Otherwise, every time I see you, I will beat you!

Lu Qingfeng and Zhou Su's eyes met, then he closed his eyes again and paid her no further attention.

Zhou Su thought she could bully him because he was weak, but she was sorely mistaken.

Outside Xuan Yin Cave, Lu Qingfeng might fear her somewhat. But within Xuan Yin Cave, where the Yin Wind peeled the flesh and refined the soul, and every trace of True Yuan was sealed, relying solely on physical strength, Lu Qingfeng had countless ways to torment Zhou Su.

The Observing Eight-Nine Tribulation Method was unbreakable.

Zhou Su had no choice but to take the beating.

"Lu Qingfeng!"

"Lu Qingfeng!"

Zhou Su clenched her silver teeth, her whole body ached everywhere, and hatred surged in her heart.

"Wait for me!"

"Wait until I get out!"

"Once this old lady gets out, I will—"

"Hiss—"

"Ah!"

Her thoughts not even settled, midnight came, and the howling Yin Wind intensified multiple folds. A gust of Yin Wind swept over Zhou Su, shattering her spirit and will, leaving her wailing continuously from the pain.

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, got up, and walked away a little.

At midnight when the Yin Wind was strong, Zhou Su, tormented for twenty months, was still unable to bear it, relieving herself only by screaming, her spirit utterly consumed by pain, unable to be distracted by other concerns.

Lu Qingfeng took this opportunity to move to a corner.

While walking,

the Ju Mang Demon God landed behind him, watching Zhou Su.

Lu Qingfeng stood in the corner away from Zhou Su's sight. With a flick of his hand, a copper furnace fell before him. At first tiny, it grew large in the wind.

Inside his body,

the Zhu Rong Demon God poked its head out of Lu Qingfeng's chest, spurting Zhu Rong Divine Flame from its mouth and nostrils. The Fire Dragon below its feet and the Fire Snakes beside its ears emerged from Lu Qingfeng's sides, spitting Dutian Fierce Fire.

For a moment,

Lu Qingfeng was like a being with Three Heads and Six Arms.

With a sweep of his hand, the storage bag hung in the air, and refining materials started to fall.

He began to refine.
