Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 136 The Three Strongest Paths

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed since Zhou Yu left the location of Emperor Fei Yu's Dao.

The higher he climbed, the more terrifying the dangers he encountered became.

But Zhou Yu didn't stop. He resolutely continued to walk upwards. Firstly, he walked out of the time-space passage, which was in the direction of "time travel," which made Zhou Yu's ability to survive soar to an incredible level.

It can be said that ordinary Dao Lords are far inferior to him.

In addition, Zhou Yu also has the "Power of Blue and White Porcelain" as a trump card. Once used, his strength will increase significantly, and he will be unafraid of ordinary dangers.

Keep going.

Finally, Zhou Yu arrived at a valley.

Looking from afar, Zhou Yu could feel a vast spatial and temporal force gathering above the valley.

"The time tunnels here are terrifying."

At this moment, Zhou Yu quickly decided to enter and comprehend it.

Entering the valley, the journey was smooth, and we encountered no obstacles whatsoever.

“The Emperor Fei Yu who gave me the gift before must still be alive, so his Dao is being tested. The Dao in this valley is even more terrifying, but there is no test. Has the master of the Dao in this valley already perished?” Zhou Yu pondered.

He then arrived inside the valley. The valley was not large, but the surrounding stone walls were covered with claw marks.

The claw marks may appear scattered, but in reality, each claw mark contains the ultimate power of spacetime.

“This was left behind by a powerful being who used claws,” Zhou Yu realized.

Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged in front of a stone wall and began to meditate.

Zhou Yu has comprehended many different time-space paths, which manifest in various forms, but as long as one grasps their essence, one can naturally absorb their mysteries.

"This must be the Dao of 'Heavenly Dream Dao Lord'?" the red-robed elder standing next to Emperor Iron Star remarked.

"Dao Lord Tianmeng?" Emperor Tiexing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which Dao Lord is this?"

"Haha, Daoist Tianmeng is from the same era as me. He existed tens of millions of Chaos Eras ago. It's normal that you, Fellow Daoist Tiexing, don't know him," the red-robed elder said.
"Daoist Tianmeng can be considered the number one Daoist of our era. His Dao is so powerful that it is hard to find any flaws. It is extremely terrifying."

"Ranked first?" Emperor Tie Xing was secretly surprised. The ranking of Dao Lords was usually announced by the Destruction Divine Court, so it was quite credible.

Even if he has already achieved the Dao Integration Realm, he might not be a match for the Dao Lord who ranked first in an era.

"Unfortunately, Daoist Tianmeng ultimately failed to achieve Dao integration. After his failure, he came to Wandao Mountain and left behind his Dao," the red-robed elder said.
"Although he did not succeed in his path, it is still much more terrifying than before he merged with the Dao, so even in the Myriad Dao Mountain, he is in a very prominent position."

"I see." Emperor Tie Xing nodded.

"The more extraordinary a Dao Lord is, the more difficult it is for them to achieve Dao Integration. Dao Lord Tianmeng failed, but I was the one who succeeded in the end," the red-robed elder said with great emotion.

"The hurdle of attaining the Dao is indeed a great challenge."

Emperor Tie Xing shook his head. As an Eternal Emperor who had just successfully merged with the Dao, he was still quite afraid.

Even though he was extremely well-prepared, he almost failed.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for those who defy the heavens and reach the peak of Dao, whose difficulty is countless times greater than his own, to achieve Dao.

"I wonder what path this Thousand Star World God will ultimately take." The red-robed elder looked at Zhou Yu in the valley, quite curious.

To enter the Myriad Paths Mountain and emerge from the Dao after only three thousand years—such an extraordinary feat suggests that one is unlikely to remain at the level of an ordinary Daoist.

the other side--

Zhou Yu sat there cross-legged, quietly sensing the Dao within the valley.

At first, he only felt that the path was incredibly vast and complex, as if it contained endless mysteries, but he couldn't figure out what specific mysteries it contained.

But gradually, Zhou Yu began to understand.

The mysteries of spacetime destruction, spacetime travel, spacetime incarnation, and immortal spacetime can all be seen within it, and these four mysteries are perfectly integrated.

They are simultaneously reflected in every claw mark, indistinguishable from one another.

Zhou Yu naturally realized that this was the Dao of a powerful person who had fused with the strongest Dao, but he probably hadn't succeeded in merging with the Dao.

Zhou Yu settled down in the valley.

There may be even stronger spacetime paths on Wandao Mountain, but such a comprehensive spacetime path is truly rare.

Time passed, but Zhou Yu remained in the valley. Sometimes he pondered the mysteries contained in the claw marks, and sometimes he got up to practice his moves.

Twenty-three thousand years later, Zhou Yu suddenly unleashed a claw that completely tore apart the space-time within the valley.

This attack was incredibly terrifying. Combined with Zhou Yu's terrifying divine body, an ordinary Dao Lord at the first step would have no choice but to run away upon seeing this move.

"His path has transcended the ordinary level." The Eternal Emperors watching were also amazed.

However, Zhou Yu, inside the valley, was not satisfied. The power of his move was clearly far from the Dao of the valley's master.

Zhou Yu continued to study the intricacies of the moves.

But gradually, Zhou Yu felt he had hit a bottleneck.

“My path has taken another step forward; it should be the strongest path, but no matter how I try, I can’t create it.” Zhou Yu always felt as if there was something separating him from his path.

It wasn't until three hundred years had passed in the outside world, and three hundred thousand years had passed with a thousand-fold time acceleration, that Zhou Yu in the valley finally began to change.

A sword appeared in his hand, and he began to practice his moves.

"I thought he had a smooth journey so far and would be stuck here for a long time, but I didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly."

Because of Zhou Yu's exaggerated speed of progress, he had long become the focus of this Divine Court Trial. Many Eternal Emperors had been watching him, and some even bet on how far Zhou Yu could go.

As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is often clearer. Many Eternal Emperors noticed that Zhou Yu had fallen into a bottleneck, and that he had fallen into it because he had taken the wrong path.

Therefore, the Eternal Emperor believed that Zhou Yu would definitely not be able to find a stronger path in this trial, and if he could not understand the problem in the future, he might never be able to find a way out.

The path after reaching the World Realm is like this; everything depends on your own exploration. If you make a mistake, it will have a huge impact on the future.

However, after Zhou Yu began practicing his sword moves, the onlookers realized that Zhou Yu had turned back from the wrong path.

"To create a stronger path, one must completely follow one's own path." Zhou Yu felt increasingly comfortable practicing sword moves at this moment.

He doesn't follow the path of swordsmanship; he uses a sword merely out of habit.

Therefore, Zhou Yu, having previously studied the Dao within this valley, simply imitated its claw techniques to create even stronger moves.

But the more this happened, the more Zhou Yu imitated the path in the valley. Completely copying other people's paths was obviously not going to work. If he continued down this path, perhaps after a long time, Zhou Yu could rely on his talent of "heaven rewards diligence" and grind his way to the strongest path, but that would take far too long.

After realizing what was happening, Zhou Yu immediately began practicing his swordsmanship.

During this exercise, Zhou Yu suddenly felt something different, and he condensed all his insights into his sword.

"Annihilation of Spacetime!"

Zhou Yu suddenly unleashed a sword strike.

Wow!
The sky seemed to be torn apart, and the array surrounding Wandao Mountain showed some power before it finally extinguished the sword light.

"It's done, the strongest path."

Many Eternal Emperors watched with expressions of amazement on their faces.

This will be a legend in the "Trials of the Divine Court".

In previous Divine Court Trials, even the most extraordinary World Realm cultivators who forged their own paths could only achieve the highest level of Dao.

Although many of those World Realm cultivators went on to develop the strongest path after leaving Ten Thousand Paths Mountain, and even merged different strongest paths, none of them managed to do so within Ten Thousand Paths Mountain.

Zhou Yu, however, forged the strongest path right there in Wandao Mountain, which is truly legendary.

Of course, despite their legendary status, these Eternal Emperors didn't think much of it. The more monstrous a talent is, the harder it is to achieve Dao. Most of these heaven-defying geniuses can only shine for a maximum of 108,000 Chaos Eras.

Of course, such beings, once they achieve enlightenment, are often incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, that's too difficult.

Since its birth, this alien universe has only had one native ruler.

The remaining White Emperor and Venerable Dan were actually outsiders.

Moreover, Zhou Yu has only just reached the strongest path at this point, and it is still unknown whether he can go further.

After Zhou Yu created the first strongest path, he seemed to have divine assistance. In the short span of two hundred miles, he also forged the strongest paths in the two directions of time travel and time incarnation.

However, the different ultimate paths did not merge, and Zhou Yu's strength did not undergo any qualitative change.

Five hundred years should have passed in the outside world.

Zhou Yu had been keeping track of the time, and he naturally understood that this trip to Wandao Mountain had come to an end.

"The gains are enormous," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Observing the paths of others, though it almost led him astray, did indeed greatly accelerate his comprehension of the strongest path.

Without these principles as a reference, it's unknown how long it would take to traverse these strongest paths.

"According to what Emperor Yu Jiu said, we cultivators should be teleported out of Ten Thousand Dao Mountain. Those who perform well can join the God of Destruction, and there is even a chance that they will be taken in by the powerful Eternal Emperor." Zhou Yu pondered to himself.

To be fair, his performance was truly phenomenal.

It takes half a million years to comprehend the three strongest paths, something that ordinary cultivators could never achieve.

As Zhou Yu was thinking, he suddenly paused slightly.

Ahead, a woman dressed in black gauze appeared out of nowhere. Her aura was cold, yet incredibly vast.

It was absolutely the most terrifying existence Zhou Yu had ever encountered in his cultivation journey.

"Greetings, senior." Zhou Yu stood up and bowed.

“I am Venerable Dan,” the woman said.

Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Venerable Dan?
Of course he knew.

Moreover, Emperor Yu Jiu also passed on a lot of information to these cultivators from the "Immortal Realm," including the Lord of the Destruction Divine Court and the three Ancient Star Lords, which were also highlighted in the intelligence.

"Are you willing to follow me?" Venerable Dan asked directly at this moment.

"What do you mean, senior?" Zhou Yu asked, puzzled.

“You can regard me as your master, but spacetime is not the path I am most proficient in. I can only guide you in a certain aspect,” said Venerable Dan.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was still puzzled, but he understood that the Dan Venerable wanted to take him away for some reason, but simply did not want to be his master.

"Greetings, Venerable Dan."

Zhou Yu bowed without hesitation.

No way, a ruler personally came to win him over, which clearly shows that he values ​​him highly. Only a fool would refuse.

Upon seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Venerable Dan's usually aloof face.

"follow me."

With a wave of her hand, Venerable Dan disappeared with Zhou Yu.

Dan Venerable did not return to the main hall of the Destruction God Court, but left after greeting the Lord of the Destruction God Court.

At this moment, the Lord of the Destruction God Court simply shook his head and said nothing more.

This world realm, though possessing extraordinary potential, has an unknown, or even very slim, chance of successfully achieving Dao integration.

Even the Lord of the Destruction Divine Court still had to give Venerable Dan face.

Although he is the master of another universe, he is not the ruler himself, so his strength is weaker than that of a normal master of another universe.

In addition, Venerable Dan was extremely reckless and liked to venture into dangerous places. In fact, he possessed several Sith weapons. Venerable Dan was also somewhat wary of his strength, so this little matter was naturally nothing to him.

At this moment, the other Eternal Emperors were secretly wondering when they saw that Zhou Yu had been taken away by Dan Zun Zhe.

Many of them were extremely interested in Zhou Yu and were prepared to spend a fortune to win over this disciple. However, they did not expect that they would not even have a chance to compete and would be taken away by Dan Zun Zhe directly.

However, although they felt helpless, no one said anything at this moment. After all, he was one of the three ancient star lords, whose strength and status were incomparable to the other eternal emperors.

The most astonished person was Emperor Tie Xing, who had originally planned to see Zhou Yu after the Divine Court Trial ended. But who would have thought that Zhou Yu would be taken away by Venerable Dan?

"Very well, it's a great opportunity for him to be valued by Venerable Dan." Emperor Tie Xing quickly came to terms with it, knowing that they would meet again someday.

P.S.: That's all for today.
