Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 130 The Path of the Dao Heart and the Path of Enlightenment

The cave, named Jiuyun Cave, has its gate wide open.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stands a lifelike statue, holding a scroll and gazing ahead, seemingly observing something.

"There doesn't seem to be anything?"

The group searched the hall thoroughly but found nothing.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yu and the others suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The Wind Demon, with his long, flowing blue hair, stood there motionless.

"Fengmo, what's wrong with you?" Everyone was astonished.

Fortunately, the wind demon returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

“Look into the statue’s eyes,” Wind Demon reminded them.

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment before looking over as well.

Zhou Yu looked over as well, and when his main body and You Cang's clone met the eyes of the statue at the same time, his heart suddenly pounded.

"I swear on my life."

Zhou Yu made a vow not to reveal his life's secret, and then a large amount of information flooded into his mind.

What flooded into his mind was a classic text on array formations, "Ten Thousand Array Formations".

What flooded into his body and mind was a classic text on the Dao of Time and Space, titled "Shattering Time and Space".

At the end of the two scriptures, a leisurely voice also rang out.

"Haha, my name is 'Jiuyun'. If you remember my name and study my classics, you will owe me a debt of karma."

In the blink of an eye, everyone came to their senses.

"It seems you have all learned a lineage." Seeing this, Feng Mo laughed, "This is a lineage that directly leads to the World Realm, which is quite rare in the Chaos."

"Yes, pointing directly to the World Realm, I think I've seen the path." Fuxi and the others nodded in agreement.

Previously, their cultivation had been like groping in the dark, with no idea which way to go. But now, they felt a clear path laid out before them.

Zhou Yu was also quite moved, as this was the first time he had ever seen a true inheritance that reached the World Realm or above.

However, after listening to what everyone was saying, Zhou Yu quickly realized that something was wrong.

"The inheritance you received only points directly to the World Realm?" Zhou Yu asked in his true form.

"Yes, could it be that the inheritance you received, Qianyu, wasn't it?" Fuxi asked in surprise.

"The scriptures I obtained should all be beyond the World Realm," both Zhou Yu's main body and You Cang's clone said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially surprised, but they quickly realized that they were able to enter this place not through their own strength, and it was quite normal that the rewards they received were not as good as those of You Cang and the other person who entered through their own strength.

However, no one complained.

They were able to receive this inheritance for two reasons: first, Zhou Yu's strength, and second, the generous nature of the host, who even allowed those of them who had just coasted in to receive a gift.

Although passing on classical texts is the least resource-intensive method, it is still extremely rare.

"We owe this opportunity to Youcang and Qianyu," Jueming said, adding, "And also to this Senior Jiuyun."

After speaking, Jueming also bowed to the statue.

"We must thank this senior." Everyone nodded and bowed.

Although the voice said they owed a debt of karma, it didn't bind them at all now; the inheritance was a gift given to them for free.

And at this moment——

Rumble!
The cave trembled violently.

While everyone was still in surprise, two passageways appeared behind the statue.

There was a stone tablet in front of each passage, and each tablet had inscriptions on it.

"The path of the Tao is fraught with suffering."

"The path to enlightenment is a matter of utmost urgency."

"."

"These are two paths, each corresponding to different challenges."

Zhou Yu understood, and Feng Mo and the others were no fools either, quickly realizing the same thing.

They were also thankful that they had maintained respect for the owner of the cave, otherwise they probably wouldn't have seen these two trial paths.

"Everyone, choose one," Fengmo said, and after a moment's thought, he walked toward the "Path of Enlightenment."

Seeing this, the others also fell into deep thought.

This is a rare opportunity, so we must choose carefully.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was not conflicted. He was confident that he could achieve enlightenment and cultivate his Dao heart. His main body and You Cang's clone each had their own path.

In fact, Zhou Yu's main body also carries eleven other main body clones. He also tried to send his main body clones down different paths, but found that they would be blocked by an invisible force.

Clearly, a person can only choose one path, which is why Zhou Yu's main body and You Cang's clone appear to be two different beings, thus avoiding being stopped.

Soon, everyone made their choices.

Zhou Yu himself, Feng Mo, Huanmu Master, Fuxi, and Suiren all chose the path of enlightenment.

Hou Yi, Jue Ming, and Zhou Yu's Cang clones chose the path of the Dao Heart.

"Seize this opportunity."

Everyone understood that this was a rare opportunity, and after exchanging glances, they embarked on two paths of trials.

On the path to enlightenment.

As soon as Zhou Yu and the others entered, they immediately felt a shift in space and time, and were then transported to an independent space.

“This place is similar to Moonlit Pool, completely isolated from the outside world.” Zhou Yu immediately realized this.

If it were a normal ancestral god with clones outside, the moment he arrived in this space-time, the memories of his different clones would be severed.

Of course, Zhou Yu's situation was special and he was unaffected by this isolation. While Zhou Yu was pondering this, Feng Mo and the others had already discovered the location of the test.

"Fellow Daoist Qianyu, come here quickly," Fengmo called out.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu quickly walked over. It was a stone tablet about ten thousand feet tall, on which was recorded a special secret technique for concealing one's aura.

"Time cannot be accelerated, and we are required to learn this secret technique within a hundred years?" After reading the secret technique, everyone also discovered the requirement.

"Look, the timer has started." Suirenshi pointed to the sky, where an hourglass had appeared out of nowhere.

"hurry up."

Without hesitation, everyone sat down cross-legged and began to study the Dharma teachings on the stone tablet.

At this moment, Huanmu, the master of the house, dressed in a purple robe and carrying a wooden ruler on his back, was deep in thought.

"This method of concealing one's breath is indeed difficult, but I'm confident I can learn it within a hundred years."

Master Huanmu's knowledge was quite diverse, but he was proficient in everything. In the Three Realms, in terms of the number of paths he mastered, no one except Nuwa could steadily suppress him. Master Huanmu's comprehension was indeed high. After he had completely comprehended the method, he had considerable confidence.

“This method is indeed different from the Three Realms Method, and is much more exquisite, but this opportunity should not be missed.” Suirenshi also quickly fell into comprehension.

Having experienced the events of the Old Man of Origin and ventured into the Chaos, he understood his own insignificance. However, since Suirenshi had come from the weakest point of the human race, he knew that weakness was nothing. As long as he kept moving forward and passing on the torch, he could naturally rise step by step.

Fuxi and Fengmo were also gaining their own insights.

Zhou Yu was also learning this method, but his style was different from the others.

On the very first day Zhou Yu learned this method, he began to try to apply it.

On the third day, Zhou Yu began to conceal his aura using this method.

On the twelfth day, Zhou Yu's presence disappeared.

hum.

A surge of energy descended, causing Zhou Yu to vanish from this space.

"what?"

Fengmo and the others looked over in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Qianyu, have you mastered it?" Master Huanmu asked in disbelief.

Suirenshi and Fuxishi looked at each other, both equally surprised.

This method is indeed extremely difficult; after twelve days, they have only just begun to get a clue.

"He didn't lose unjustly."

Both Fengmo and Huanmu Master sighed inwardly. If they had known earlier during the Three Realms War that their opponent was a monster with such comprehension, they would never have been able to fight against him.

. . .

the other side--

Zhou Yu appeared in another hall, which was very similar to the hall where they first received their inheritance, but it was clearly a different place.

Inside the hall, there was also a figure in white robes standing there.

"Senior Jiuyun?" Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised, as the figure was almost identical to the previous statue.

“That’s my master.” The white-robed figure looked at Zhou Yu and asked, “Have you learned this secret technique before?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately understood that the other party was amazed by his speed in learning the secret technique.

Actually, this is normal. Zhou Yu's thinking speed is a hundred times faster than others at the same level. In addition, after he obtained the "Soul Amplification" talent, his soul became exceptionally strong, making his thinking speed even faster.

Learning it in twelve days isn't fast.

"I haven't studied it." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"My master left behind the Nine Cloud Cave to help rogue cultivators navigate their cultivation path more smoothly," the white-robed figure said, looking at Zhou Yu.

"If you pass the test normally, you can get some treasures from me, but if you lie, you will not only get nothing, but you will also be punished."

“I really haven’t studied it,” Zhou Yu said again.

Upon hearing this, the figure in white robes waved his hand and handed a black jade stone to Zhou Yu.

"There is another secret technique here. If you can learn it in a short time, I will give you ten times the treasures," the white-robed figure said.

"Ten times?" Zhou Yu was secretly shocked.

Unexpectedly, such a good thing happened.

“Okay.” Zhou Yu didn’t hesitate. He penetrated the jade with his consciousness and began to observe its contents.

"Hmm? The difficulty of these secret techniques is about the same."

Zhou Yu became completely absorbed in it.

The figure in white robes was also staring at Zhou Yu.

He naturally knew that there were eleven clones inside Zhou Yu's cave treasure, but these clones could not use time acceleration under his gaze.

Zhou Yu may have other clones, but their memories are blocked by the formation, so even if they could secretly use time acceleration, it would be useless.

All these possibilities made it impossible for Zhou Yu to "cheat".

"If he truly is a peerless genius who can learn the master's secret technique in ten days or so, then giving him ten times the treasures wouldn't be a problem," the white-robed figure pondered.

His master left behind this "Nine Cloud Cave," which would randomly appear somewhere in the endless territory every once in a while, and only extremely lucky ancestral gods and immortals would have the opportunity to enter.

However, the vast majority of ancestral gods and immortals who obtain treasures fail to grow into powerful beings.

However, a peerless genius with extraordinary comprehension has a much greater chance of growing up, so giving them more treasures would be more meaningful.

In the blink of an eye, nine days have passed.

Zhou Yu used that secret technique right in front of the white-robed figure, and now the white-robed figure understood completely.

The ancestral god before him was indeed an extremely heaven-defying existence; in terms of talent, he was absolutely the most exaggerated and unbelievable one he had ever seen.
P.S.: That's all for today.
