Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 140 The Missing Ji Ning's Breakthrough
A territory is already vast; it would take an ordinary ancestral god hundreds of millions of years to travel from the edge of the territory to its core.

The distances between territories are even greater, and ordinary cultivators have almost no chance of leaving a territory on their own.

A powerful world god or chaotic immortal might leave the territory where he was born, but he wouldn't go too far; he would usually travel to nearby territories.

If you go to places that are too far away, the dangers along the way alone would be enough to take the lives of many World Realm Perfection cultivators.

At this time, Zhou Yu and the other three left the Great Mo Domain, and their journey was quite smooth, because Zhou Yu's strength was strong enough.

Moreover, they traveled quickly.

When there are time-space teleportation arrays, they can travel by relying on them. In some places, Zhou Yu's Cang clone carried them through time and space at an astonishing speed.

In just over a hundred years, they arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

After the cause of death of the Northern World God was revealed to the Heavenly Palace, everyone's life oath was naturally dissolved.

However, the choices of the next few people were different.

Ji Ning had already refined the guiding token left by the Northern Xiu World God in the Three Realms, so he was already considered a member of the Heavenly Cang Palace. Jue Ming, after learning about the rules of the Heavenly Cang Palace, also liked it quite a bit. He decided to stay and return to the Three Realms after he had achieved success in his cultivation.

As for Zhou Yu's two clones, they did not choose to join. At this time, the Heavenly Cang Palace was not of much help to him, and Zhou Yu planned to join the Dao Alliance directly later.

The Dao Alliance is not only more lenient, but also offers more resources as long as one can afford the Chaos Spirit Liquid.

Although he did not join the Heavenly Azure Palace, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to leave the Heavenly Azure Domain. Instead, he activated the "Time and Space Token" that he had obtained from the Myriad Gods Palace here.

In fact, after leaving the Great Mo Domain for about a hundred territories, Zhou Yu sensed that the Time-Space Token had entered the activation range, but he hadn't done anything because he was in a hurry to get on his way.

Now that he had some free time, he naturally activated the Time-Space Token immediately.

After Zhou Yu's avatar was taken away by the Time-Space Order, Zhou Yu's main body remained in the Tiancang Domain to wait.
. . .

More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Eternal Realm of the Azure Sky, the location of the Azure Sky Palace.

Zhou Yu himself was sitting cross-legged in a small courtyard, quietly meditating.

Although he did not join the Tiancang Palace, he brought news from afar and had a close relationship with Ji Ning and Jueming, so he was naturally treated with courtesy by the Tiancang Palace and had a nice place to stay.

"I have already found the strongest path for the other four directions of the array and created the corresponding methods." Zhou Yu was pondering at this moment.

He stayed in the Pantheon for three thousand years, or three hundred thousand years under time acceleration.

He comprehended the nine secret techniques of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord and the array statue, reaching the pinnacle in the four aspects of activating power, array techniques, power combination, and the formless array.

In Zhou Yu's understanding of array formations, the only aspect he hasn't yet mastered is the "indestructibility of array formations."

This direction is also quite special. Zhou Yu comprehended the mysteries of this direction and applied them not only to the formation, but also created a method called "Immortal Body" based on the mysteries of this direction.

Zhou Yu has used formations to temper his physical body in many other worlds, so he can certainly do the same in this one.

Zhou Yu felt that if he continued in this direction, he might be able to form an immortal body based on the array.

"Take your time to study it, no rush," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

And at this time—

Suddenly, the gate to the courtyard where Zhou Yu lived was pushed open, and Jueming strode in.

"Jueming, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Yu opened his eyes and asked with some confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Beiming has gone missing," Jueming said with great seriousness.

"Missing?"

Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

After they brought news of the Northern Xiu World God, the Heavenly Cang Palace quickly found the whereabouts of the murderer "Black Dragon Three Divine Beasts" who killed the Northern Xiu World God through deduction methods, and then sent out a hunting team to take revenge.

Ji Ning has obtained the inheritance of the Northern Xiu World God, and now his strength is sufficient, so he volunteered to join the group.

Zhou Yu knew this, so he didn't interfere. Ji Ning was already capable of handling things on his own, and besides, it was just a minor matter.

“It’s not just Bei Ming who’s missing; some of the other World Realm experts who were with him in Tiancang Palace have also disappeared,” Jueming added.

"Oh?"

"If he disappeared at this time, could it be that he was kidnapped by the Lord of Mangya?" Zhou Yu suddenly thought of this.

In the Endless Territory, there are six top powers: the Dao Alliance and the Eternal Clan are only two of them, and there is also the extremely special Mangya Kingdom.

Mangya Kingdom is not strong overall, but its founder is a ruler, and the strongest of the three rulers of the Endless Territory.

In order to replenish the talent pool of Mangya Kingdom, the Mangya Overlord often abducts promising cultivators from the endless territory.

Of course, since the Lord of Mangya only abducted those with potential in the World Realm, he wouldn't touch those who had already reached the Dao Realm like Zhou Yu, so all the forces tolerated it.

After all, he is the strongest ruler, so we still have to give him some face.

"Considering the timeline, it's still quite possible," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't just guess; he contacted Ji Ning directly to ask, since both he and Ji Ning had avatars left in the Three Realms.

Zhou Yu needs no further explanation; the memories of his many clones are interconnected.

After Ji Ning reached the World Realm, nurtured by the Azure Mist, his divine soul became extremely powerful, almost comparable to a Dao Lord. He could maintain memory connections even from a great distance. Therefore, when Zhou Yu inquired about Ji Ning's clone, he knew the situation.

Ji Ning didn't know where he had been taken yet, but based on Ji Ning's description, Zhou Yu quickly realized that he had definitely been abducted to Mangya Kingdom.

"I've questioned Ji Ning's clone. He and the other World Realm experts from Tiancang Palace who set off with him were all kidnapped by a mysterious powerful figure, but they're safe for now," Zhou Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Jueming's eyes brightened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go tell Lord Yudou the news," Jueming quickly added.

"Ah."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly.

. . .

After learning that Ji Ning had indeed been abducted to Mangya Kingdom, Zhou Yu didn't care anymore. He knew that this might not be a bad thing for Ji Ning.

Besides, even if an accident were to happen, it would only mean the loss of one of Ji Ning's clones, which is nothing.

A few years later.

In the endless expanse, at the very depths of space and time, a world was created.

The world is not large, but every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone contains all sorts of mysteries of time and space, which are amazing.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's Youcang clone was sitting cross-legged here, silently comprehending.

Suddenly, a wave emanated from him, silent yet controlling everything.

"The fifth and strongest path of the Time-Space Path," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He had already forged three of the strongest paths in Wandao Mountain, and later, after receiving instruction from the Dan Venerable, he came to this hidden world.

He eventually pushed all five directions of spacetime to their limits.

"Ok?"

At this moment, the five strongest paths in Zhou Yu's heart emerged, and various mysteries naturally began to merge.

"The strongest path has begun to merge, which proves that my path is correct." Zhou Yu was overjoyed.

Although he believed that the complete spacetime path consisted of these five directions, it was just his idea after all, and no one knew whether it was right or wrong before.

But now, Zhou Yu realizes he's on the right track.

Normally, it is very difficult for different strongest paths to merge, but once two strongest paths merge, they become a higher level of path.

However, if you push all directions of a path to their limits and make them the strongest paths, then this extremely difficult step becomes easy, and they will naturally merge.

Of course, to comprehend all directions of a path and bring it to the level of the strongest path is terrifyingly difficult in itself.

Many geniuses usually figure out two of the strongest paths; three or four are rare.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's five strongest paths were naturally merging, which meant that his path was correct and that his five strongest paths had indeed encompassed all directions of the spacetime path.

"Haha, so happy."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but stand up and draw his sword to fight.

Previously, Zhou Yu's sword moves were quite distinct, focusing on either power, speed, or agility.

At this moment, each of his sword strikes not only easily traversed time and space but also shattered it, and could easily multiply into countless forms, making them impossible to defend against.

While his attacks were terrifying, Zhou Yu's swordsmanship also possessed the characteristic of being timeless, making his defense inexhaustible.

"Too powerful. My attack is ten times stronger than before, and the subtlety of my moves is far greater," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He understood that if he wanted to kill him now, it would only take one or two sword strikes.

"However, even such a powerful Dao is not my ultimate goal." Zhou Yu quickly calmed down.

Ordinary cultivators may think that fusing the strongest path is already the strongest path, but in reality it is not.

On the basis of perfectly integrating the strongest path, one further enhancement is the ultimate path.

The ultimate path is the most powerful path.

Knowing that the ultimate path exists, Zhou Yu is naturally unwilling to follow a path that is a level weaker than his own. Having reached this point, he is determined to challenge the ultimate path.

Although achieving the ultimate path and attaining perfect harmony is extremely difficult, Zhou Yu has enough clones, so he is still confident.

Zhou Yu's sword roared endlessly through this world.

In a hidden place in this world, a certain being was awakened.

"Time-space swordsmanship? There are countless geniuses of the Time-space Dao who have come to this world, but this is the first time I have seen such perfect time-space swordsmanship. Even Mangya in his youth was not as good as him."

"He is the master's last personally taught disciple."
