Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 145 The Ruler of Mangya
Wow!
Ji Ning was moving extremely fast, and soon he arrived at the place where Zhou Yu's Cang clone had broken through.

"master."

Ji Ning saw Zhou Yu in person here and stepped forward to pay his respects.

Zhou Yu nodded upon seeing this, while Ji Ning asked, "Master, is Grandmaster You Cang a Dao Lord?"

“Yes.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"Back then, when we went to Tiancang Palace together, Master Youcang's Dao had already reached an incredibly terrifying level. Now, at what level of Dao has Master Youcang broken through?" Ji Ning asked with considerable curiosity.

"This should be the strongest path that can be traversed by someone at the World Realm level," Zhou Yu remarked with emotion. Of course, he didn't elaborate, as there was no need to tell Ji Ning too much at this moment.

Upon hearing what Zhou Yu said, Ji Ning felt a surge of emotion.

His lineage, his master and grandmaster, all possessed truly heaven-defying talents. The strongest Dao in the World Realm? They should be comparable to Betalieu, whom he encountered in Mangya Kingdom, right?

It should be noted that even the powerful Mangya Kingdom, after a thousand careful selections, only managed to cultivate such a World Realm expert.

Grandmaster Cang, who cultivated alone, was able to reach such a terrifying level of cultivation so quickly, which shows how strong his talent was.

"I wonder what path I will ultimately reach?" Ji Ning pondered to himself.

"Ji Ning, how are you doing in Mangya Kingdom?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Things went fairly smoothly. I've joined the Mangya Kingdom, and in the short span of a thousand years since I entered the Mangya Kingdom, I've made great progress," Ji Ning said at this moment.

Although joining Mangya Kingdom was not entirely voluntary on his part, it is undeniable that he gained a great deal and forged his own path. He might not have been able to progress so quickly through his own cultivation.

"That's good."

Zhou Yu nodded.

While Zhou Yu was talking to Ji Ning, another figure soon appeared, traversing through time and space.

"Master." Ji Ning bowed again.

"Bodhi".

Zhou Yu also greeted him with a smile.

"Ji Ning, Qian Yu, you two are much faster than me," Bodhi Patriarch remarked. He then inquired:
"He reached the World Realm before the Azure Heaven Realm, and now he must be a Dao Lord."

The old master Bodhi had mixed feelings.

When the Great War of the Three Realms had just ended, he was still discussing the Dao with You Cang, but gradually, he could no longer keep up with the other's thoughts.

Later, after the group left the Three Realms, Zhou Yu's progress became even more astonishing to Bodhi Patriarch.

Zhou Yu created some divine and demonic body-refining methods and passed them on to people in the Three Realms, enabling them to quickly become Ancestral Gods. Some spacetime methods even made Bodhi Patriarch's strength advance by leaps and bounds.

"Bodhi, do you also want to go out and explore?" Zhou Yu noticed Bodhi's thoughts and asked.

"That's the idea." Patriarch Bodhi nodded. He had also become an Ancestral God and had greatly improved his strength by comprehending some spacetime techniques, making him strong enough to venture out into the world.

“You can go to the Great Mo Eternal Realm; Suirenshi and Houyi are there,” Zhou Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi nodded, saying that it would be best if he could join Hou Yi and the others.

Soon, more and more powerful beings from the Three Realms arrived.

The fact that Zhou Yu's Cang clone became a Dao Lord so quickly has inspired many people, and many powerful figures have developed the desire to venture out and explore.

Of course, not everyone decided to go out; many preferred to cultivate quietly and remained within the Three Realms.

"Master, have you noticed that the cultivators in our Three Realms all seem to have extremely high talents?" Ji Ning said telepathically at this moment.

"Oh? You noticed?" Zhou Yu said.
"This is not an illusion. Cultivators in the Three Realms are indeed highly talented. As long as they receive guidance from the Dharma, they will make rapid progress. People like Bodhi and others will have no difficulty reaching the World Realm after a period of honing their skills. As long as they do not perish in the future, they should all be able to become Dao Lords."

“Normally, it takes dozens of chaotic worlds to give birth to one World Realm expert. A vast territory contains countless chaotic worlds, and an era can only produce a few Dao Lords. Why is the Three Realms so special?” Ji Ning wondered.

“There must be a secret, but don’t overthink it. Focus on your cultivation. When your level is higher, you’ll understand eventually,” Zhou Yu said calmly.

Ji Ning nodded in agreement. Yes, once we have enough strength, all secrets will naturally cease to be secrets.

Ji Ning was traveling and cultivating outside at this time in order to pursue a higher level of swordsmanship.

. . .

After Zhou Yu's main body, the Cang clone, broke through, the second primordial spirit of the Cang clone naturally also broke through in a distant territory.

"I can travel much faster now than before."

At this moment, Zhou Yu had his clone, You Cang, take his main body on a space-time journey, each journey covering the distance of a whole territory.

Although it is still far slower than the spacetime artifact, the spacetime artifact needs to be replenished with energy, while Zhou Yu himself can travel continuously.

Therefore, while the spacetime artifact was being charged, he had his Cang clone travel through time and space to get there. Once the artifact was fully charged, he used it to advance a great distance at once.

This also significantly increased Zhou Yu's travel speed.

Several hundred years passed.

Finally, Zhou Yu felt he was very close to obtaining the third wondrous item.
"Is this an eternal realm?"

After entering a certain area, Zhou Yu immediately felt that the surrounding space and time became quite heavy. He quickly realized that he must have entered some kind of eternal realm.

"Hmm? It's actually Mangya Kingdom?"

Zhou Yu quickly learned his current location from a certain world realm, which surprised him quite a bit.

"Is it a coincidence?"

As Zhou Yu pondered this, an old man dressed in a snow-white robe and with six curved horns on his head suddenly appeared not far away.

The old man's aura was terrifying; Zhou Yu had only seen a similar aura on the Pill Venerable. "The Mangya Ruler." Zhou Yu instantly understood. A ruler appearing in the Mangya Kingdom could only be the Mangya Ruler, right?

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhou Yu bowed.

"Junior brother, why be so polite? Can't you guess my identity?" Lord Mangya stroked his beard and laughed.
“Junior brother, you must have received the last inheritance from Master more than a thousand years ago. I didn’t expect you to have cultivated to the level of Second Step Dao Lord so quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Of the three inheritances left by that Yu Zou ruler, the first two actually nurtured a ruler.
As the Lord of Mangya looked at Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, the Chaos Divine Beast clan was completely enslaved by the ancient cultivators. A great war led to the decline of the ancient cultivators, but it also gave the Chaos Divine Beast clan the opportunity to rise.

But this is merely an opportunity; a true rise to power requires the emergence of a dominant force.

But the hope of becoming the ruler is too slim.

To succeed, talent, comprehension, and opportunity are all indispensable.

In terms of talent and comprehension, the Lord of Mangya is undoubtedly top-notch.

As for opportunities, although he had many, obtaining the inheritance of another ruler was almost the most important.

Therefore, when the Mangya Overlord saw Zhou Yu's Cang clone, who had also received the inheritance of the Yu Zou Overlord, he felt quite favorable towards him.

“You must have come for this.” At this moment, the Lord of Mangya took out a bead-like treasure and threw it to Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu took it, he found that it was indeed the third strange item, and the restriction left by the Overlord Yu Zou was intact.

At this point, Zhou Yu naturally understood that the Mangya Ruler was indeed one of the people who had received the inheritance of the Yu Zou Ruler.

Besides, the Lord of Mangya had no reason to waste his energy deceiving him.

“Master Yu has extremely high requirements for accepting disciples, so the success rate of achieving Dao integration must be very low. I thought the previous two senior brothers were already gone,” Zhou Yu explained at this moment.

"To walk the path to the strongest and achieve Dao integration is indeed difficult. My success was also due to luck," the Mangya Overlord shook his head and said.

"As for the second junior brother, he received the inheritance, but only reached the third step. He died before he even came to Mangya Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was secretly alarmed.

Even with that rare treasure protecting his life, he still couldn't reach the edge of the Dao Integration Realm?

The path to becoming a Daoist master is indeed not easy.

"Having successfully achieved Dao integration, this wondrous artifact is no longer of much use to me. Therefore, after my second junior brother's death, I deliberately left it untouched and instead left it to you," said the Mangya Overlord.
"As for this strange object in my hand, it is also yours, Junior Brother."

Zhou Yu could sense the location of the other two strange objects through one of them, and Mangya Overlord could do the same. However, this strange object was indeed useless to him, so even though he knew that the second strange object was missing, he never considered using it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhou Yu said, bowing in gratitude.

"No need to be so polite. Just call me senior brother."

The Lord of Mangya smiled. He was genuinely grateful to Lord Yuzou, so out of affection for him, he was also very polite to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also realized that the Lord of Mangya was not just pretending to be polite, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Mangya."

Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the face of the Lord of Mangya.

“Junior brother, since you’ve traveled all this way, why don’t you stay in my Mangya Kingdom for a while?” said the Mangya Overlord.

Zhou Yu readily agreed.

"This is not the place to talk, Junior Brother, please come with me." As the Lord of Mangya spoke, he manipulated space and time with a thought, instantly taking Zhou Yu away from here.

. . .

The Royal Palace of Mangya Kingdom.

It was a vast void, and on a star, Zhou Yu and the Mangya Overlord were sitting.

Zhou Yu already knew from the Mangya Overlord that the Yu Zou Overlord had already perished in a great battle in a distant era.

Zhou Yu naturally knew that the great battle mentioned by the Mangya Overlord was probably the war between the cultivator civilization and the Sith race.

Too many rulers died in that battle. Rulers like Mangya Ruler were actually rulers who were born later.

Even so, Zhou Yu felt a pang of regret. He had previously thought that Sovereign Yu was still alive, and that if Yu successfully achieved Dao Integration in the future, they might actually meet again. He never imagined that Sovereign Yu had already perished.

“Junior Brother Youcang, you should be a cultivator of the Dao Alliance, but the Dao Alliance has very low binding force and is not united. Junior Brother, would you be willing to join my Mangya Kingdom?” Mangya Ruler asked at this moment.

"Although I have heard of Mangya Kingdom, I do not know anything about it. Could Senior Brother Mangya tell me about it?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I am of Chaos Divine Beast origin, and the Mangya Kingdom was established by me to protect the Chaos Divine Beast race," said the Mangya Overlord.
"Therefore, Mangya Kingdom is divided into the royal family and the Twelve Palaces. The royal family consists of Chaos Divine Beasts, while the Twelve Palaces are composed of various Dao Lords. Of course, Junior Brother Cang, you are different from the other Dao Lords. If you join, you will be equivalent to the royal family."

“Since Senior Brother Mangya values ​​this so highly, I naturally have no reason to refuse.” Zhou Yu stood up and bowed.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on the face of the Lord of Mangya.

If Zhou Yu is willing to join Mangya Kingdom, he will have a life oath to guarantee it, and their relationship will naturally become closer. He will naturally do his best to help Zhou Yu achieve Dao.

By receiving the inheritance of one sovereign and the assistance of another, even a Dao Lord who follows the path of fusion can significantly increase their success rate.

Among the peak Dao Lords, those who have such an opportunity are extremely rare. Most peak Dao Lords have never seen a Sovereign-level Dao before they merged with the Dao. After all, even if you include the dead Sovereigns, there aren't many in a single domain. Naturally, there are very few Dao Lords who can see a Sovereign-level Dao.

Of course, whether one can succeed still depends on oneself. Even with the help of two rulers, the success rate is far less than 10%.

Even reaching the pinnacle of Dao Lordhood and achieving Dao integration is still extremely difficult.

"No matter what, there is still a sliver of hope that my junior brother will succeed in achieving Dao Integration. If he succeeds, it will be of great help to me," the Mangya Overlord thought to himself.

P.S.: That's all.
