Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 135 The Dao Beyond the World Realm

At the foot of Wandao Mountain.

Zhou Yu continued his search and soon discovered array paths and spatial-temporal paths, some contained within a strange rock and others hidden in a pool of water.
Of course, at the foot of the mountain, the highest level of each path is only the Perfect World Realm, which is not considered high. However, in Zhou Yu's eyes, each path has its own characteristics. He searched for each path without stopping, and each time he found one, he would stop and observe it for several days.

With Zhou Yu's current accumulation of knowledge, along with his talent and thinking speed, observing a perfected Dao of the World Realm for a few days would be enough for him. Different Daos may appear different on the surface, but their essence is the same.

It took Zhou Yu a thousand years to complete a tour of the foot of the mountain. Of course, with time sped up a thousand times, only one year had passed in the outside world.

"The Divine Court Trial lasts for a total of five hundred years. I spent a year observing the Dao of many World Realm Perfection cultivators. It's not bad," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He had previously observed over three thousand types of array-based inheritances at Jiuyun Cave, but only over two hundred types of spacetime inheritances. Now, at the foot of Wandao Mountain, he had observed thousands of different spacetime inheritances, which was quite a fruitful experience.

"Breakthrough."

Zhou Yu made a decision immediately. His Thousand Star Avatar was previously at the Ancestral God level, but now Zhou Yu decided to break through.

After all, if you want to see a more powerful Dao, you have to go up the mountain, and there are all sorts of dangers on the mountain, so naturally the stronger you are, the better.

Boom!

Zhou Yu sat there cross-legged, instantly attracting an inexhaustible surge of chaotic power.

His Thousand Star Avatar is a combination of thousands of avatars. Once he breaks through, the impact will be no less than that of a Dao Lord breaking through to the World Realm.

"Oh? A cultivator has broken through?"

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Eternal Emperors instantly. After discovering that it was an Ancestral God who had reached the World Realm, they nodded in approval.

Cultivators in the "Immortal Realm" have never been exposed to many resources, so it is not surprising that they can have sudden enlightenment and breakthroughs when they suddenly come into contact with so many Daos.

Of course, the fact that he was able to break through in just one year after entering Wandao Mountain, coupled with his incredibly strong divine body, indicates that he has enormous potential.

"Thousand Stars Ancestral God?"

Many Eternal Emperors quickly found Zhou Yu's information and noted his name, hoping to recruit him later depending on the situation.

"Hmm? His aura?"

Soon, the Eternal Emperor noticed something was wrong.

"World Realm Perfection! This Thousand Star World God reached World Realm Perfection right after breaking through?"

"."

At this moment, many Eternal Emperors were quite surprised. After careful investigation, they found that this was indeed the case.

"Reaching the World Realm Perfection right after breaking through, just how deep was this Thousand Star World God's accumulation during his Ancestral God days? He should have been able to break through long ago, but I don't know why he hasn't." The Eternal Emperors marveled in their hearts.

Although this Thousand Star World God possessed a divine body no less than that of an ordinary World God when he was an Ancestral God, and his divine soul should also be comparable to that of a World God, in any case, he had already achieved this level when he was an Ancestral God.

Now that he has broken through, his divine soul can quickly grow a thousandfold, and his potential will naturally be greatly enhanced.

"Establishing a path shouldn't be a problem; the only question is what level of path we can establish."

"."

Many Eternal Emperors were pondering this in their hearts.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Tie Xing, your junior disciple is truly talented." The old man in the red robe said with a smile.

"I didn't expect this either," Tie Xing Daojun wondered. What exactly had Zhou Yu gone through to cause such a great transformation in his talent?
"Or is it that he has always had such talent in the 'Path of Time and Space'?" Daoist Tie Xing pondered to himself.

He could naturally see that Zhou Yu was currently constructing his divine body with the Dao of Time and Space as its core.

When he left, Zhou Yu had indeed not yet embarked on this path.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that he has such talent," Tie Xing Daojun thought to himself.

Meanwhile, the Venerable Dan, who was at the top, watched this scene without feeling any emotion.

Zhou Yu's talent surprised her, but it wasn't enough to astonish her.

the other side--

Zhou Yu sat there cross-legged, his mind immersed in his own body.

That Dao Tree had grown to a height of 36,000 feet, and contained 3,600 divine crystals. It was indeed the pinnacle of the World Realm and Chaos Immortal level.

Zhou Yu was not surprised by this.

His avatars in the Great Mo Domain had already accumulated considerable strength. Although he didn't immediately reach the Perfect World Realm after breaking through, he wasn't far off.

Although the origins of the alternate universe and the chaotic universe are different, the outermost layer of mystery is exactly the same, and cultivators can only comprehend the outermost layer of mystery.

If the Dao Tree regenerates or the Divine Crystals increase, then one reaches the Dao Lord level.

“Of course, although the Dao Tree cannot grow, it can become thicker and stronger.” Zhou Yu looked at his Dao Tree.

His Dao tree was extremely thick, with five branches each possessing a different aura, representing his insights into different directions of the Dao of Time and Space.

A single branch contained a terrifying aura of spacetime destruction, which was precisely the insight into the direction of "spacetime destruction". Zhou Yu integrated all these insights into one, creating the spacetime magic method "Cataclysmic Annihilation Spacetime".

A single branch, appearing and disappearing, ethereal and uncertain, is precisely the insight into the direction of "time travel," which Zhou Yu used to create the Dharma gate "Ephemeral Shadow."

There are also three branches, representing the three major directions of "Space-Time Domain", "Space-Time Incarnation", and "Immortal Space-Time", which also correspond to the three major Dharma gates: "Space-Time Domain", "Myriad Shadows Incarnation", and "Space-Time Reincarnation".

Having cultivated to this stage, Zhou Yu believed that his five major methods encompassed all directions of the Dao of Time and Space. Regardless of the specific method, in essence, none of them could escape the scope of these five major methods.

"However, no matter what, this is only the beginning." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it. He quickly got up and headed towards the top of Wandao Mountain.

. . .

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu has been on the mountain for more than ten years.

In terms of climbing height, Zhou Yu, who came later, has surpassed the other cultivators who climbed the mountain much earlier.

There was no other way. With his divine body and realm, Zhou Yu's strength was almost on par with an ordinary first-step Dao Lord. The crisis in front of Wandao Mountain was naturally easy for him.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was walking on a secluded path, with water and fire faintly appearing around him. These were the divine water and divine fire of the Dao.

Even without anyone controlling it, ordinary gods cannot withstand such divine fire and water; even a touch of it could turn them to ashes.

However, Zhou Yu walked among them with a calm expression.

At the end of the path, a thatched hut suddenly appeared.

The thatched cottage is small, but it has a unique charm as it stands there.

In front of the thatched hut is a stream, flowing gently and seemingly normally, but the drops of water appear and disappear as if they do not exist in normal time and space.

“It’s another spacetime passage, and this one is quite powerful.” A smile appeared on Zhou Yu’s face.

His initial perception suggested that the level of this path should surpass all the time-space path inheritances he had obtained from the Nine Clouds Cave.

Zhou Yu stepped forward, but suddenly a figure wearing a straw raincoat appeared in front of him.

"puppet?"

Zhou Yu looked at the other person with some surprise.

"If you wish to see this path, you must first defeat me," the figure said calmly. "There's even a test?"

Zhou Yu was naturally surprised. He had discovered several paths suitable for him on this mountain before. Although he had not studied them in detail, he could comprehend them at any time.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving here, to comprehend an even more powerful Dao, one must directly undergo a test.

However, Zhou Yu didn't think much about it and quickly took action.

Boom!

Since Zhou Yu's clone didn't have any good weapons, he used his hands as weapons. His two hands instantly grew billions of times larger and slammed down on the puppet.

"what?"

The puppet's expression changed, and it attacked instantly. Its power was no less than that of the Black Lotus God Emperor back then, but it was far inferior to Zhou Yu at this moment.

Boom!

With ease, Zhou Yu caught the puppet in his palm.

"You have won. You may freely comprehend my master's Dao," the puppet quickly said.

"Your master's way?"

Zhou Yu suddenly realized that this was not a test from Wandao Mountain itself, but a test set up by the powerful being who left this path.

It seems that the owner who left this path was no ordinary person, able to leave a test at Wandao Mountain.

However, Zhou Yu didn't think much of it. He quickly came to the open space in front of the thatched house and sat down cross-legged. Here, he could sense everything around him more clearly.

The thatched cottage, the stream, and every seemingly ordinary tree and blade of grass all contain the mysteries of time and space. The combination of these various sights in the vicinity forms a complete path.

"Comprehending the complete Dao is unrealistic for me. What I need to do is to refer to this Dao and forge my own path," Zhou Yu pondered.

Once you reach the perfected World Realm level and comprehend the origin of the universe, you can no longer comprehend it directly. The path you must take from here on out is to create your own path.

The perfection of the world realm means mastering all the fundamental mysteries of a path. With these fundamental mysteries, different practitioners create different paths, which also determine their future.

An ordinary Daoist can barely become a Dao Lord, and even if he becomes an Eternal Emperor in the future, he will be the weakest Eternal Emperor.

For example, Zhou Yu suspected that the "Emperor Yu Jiu" who brought them here might just be the most ordinary Eternal Emperor.

Because the tasks performed by Emperor Yu Jiu were similar to chores, and there were ninety-nine other emperors with similar responsibilities, Zhou Yu found it hard to imagine that there were one hundred powerful Eternal Emperors specifically in charge of these tasks.

On the contrary, it would make much more sense if it were the weakest of the Eternal Emperors.

A Dao that is one level stronger than the ordinary Dao is much better. If one can successfully merge with the Dao through this, one can obtain the position of a Divine General even in the Destroyer of the Divine Court.

The next level up is the strongest path. If one successfully merges with the Dao, their status will be even higher than that of a Divine General, and they may even become a Star Lord.

Furthermore, different strongest paths can be merged, and those who successfully merge with these paths become the rulers.

However, it is not necessarily a good thing to comprehend a Dao that is too powerful, because the stronger the Dao, the more difficult it is to merge with the Dao, and the lower the success rate will be.

Whether it's this alien universe or the endless territory where the Great Mo Domain is located, there are only three rulers, which shows how difficult it is to achieve Dao.

"However, I will definitely take the strongest path, the stronger the better," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

With each simulation, his talent and comprehension will continue to increase, and even the most difficult path will have a chance of success.

The key point is that he has different clones.

One could have one clone merge with the Dao first. If it succeeds, that would be best. Even if it fails, the other clones can still learn from the experience, thus greatly increasing the success rate.

Zhou Yu didn't think much about it at the moment; he quickly immersed himself in the Dao around him.

"This God of the Thousand Star World is trying to comprehend my Dao. I wonder if he can grasp some of its mysteries." At this moment, in the Temple of Destruction, a figure in purple robes silently watched this scene.

He is one of the gods and generals, and he successfully walked the extremely difficult path of time and space and merged with the Dao. Clearly, even among the gods and generals, he is among the best.

Time flies, and with the time accelerated a thousand times by Wandao Mountain, three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was sitting cross-legged there, also opened his eyes.

With a single stroke of his hand, he caused the surrounding space and time to separate as if flowing water. In an instant, Zhou Yu's hand had already reached the deepest layers of space and time.

"My time-travel ability is ten times stronger than before. I've finally found my own path," Zhou Yu thought with great emotion.

Although it's just a very ordinary path, it's still a breakthrough from nothing to something.

"Breakthrough?"

At this moment, the Eternal Emperors who were watching Zhou Yu were all surprised.

While Wandao Mountain has existed for three thousand years, only three years have actually passed in the outside world.

In other words, in just three years, Zhou Yu, who had just reached the Perfect World Realm, had already forged his own path.

"evildoer."

Many Eternal Emperors had already made their own judgments.

It's not so surprising that an Ancestral God can break through directly to the Perfect World Realm. After all, before reaching the Perfect World Realm, one can directly comprehend the fundamental mysteries. It's not surprising that an Ancestral God with sufficient accumulation can do this.

To find a path in three years—that's pure enlightenment.

"Oh? Someone has already achieved enlightenment so soon after the start of this trial?" Even the Lord of the Destruction God Court has taken notice of this.

In the past, during the Divine Court Trials, occasionally a World Realm cultivator could emerge from the Dao, but that almost always happened long before the end. Now, it has only just begun.

"Interesting." The Lord of the Destruction God Court nodded.

the other side--

Zhou Yu had already gotten up at Wandao Mountain, although the "Time and Space Dao" here was still helpful to him.

But he planned to leave.

There must be even more powerful paths on this mountain, so there's no need for him to waste all his time here.

"World God, please wait a moment."

Just as Zhou Yu was about to leave, the puppet from before came over.

"My master, Emperor Fei Yu, seeing that you have no suitable weapon, ordered me to give you this treasure." As the puppet spoke, it handed a black shuttle to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. After taking the black shuttle, he was even more surprised. It was actually an eternal divine weapon, and the spacetime Dao contained within it was clearly similar to the one he had just comprehended.

"Thank you, Emperor Fei Yu." Zhou Yu bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Although it wasn't a divine sword, the value of that eternal divine weapon was high enough, and with it, he could comprehend the Dao within it at any time.

This is truly a great gift.

P.S.: There will be another update later.
