Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 187 Zhou Yu Ancient Holy Cult of the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm

Snow Eagle Lord World.

Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm.

In a remote and inconspicuous place, there stands a towering blue boulder, thousands of miles high, with pavilions and towers on it, exuding an extraordinary aura.

This is clearly a sect's headquarters.

In the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm, where the oppressive power is terrifying to the extreme and a true god can only fly five or six miles in a single breath, it is not bad to be able to establish a sect's base on a giant rock that is tens of thousands of miles long.

This place is the Qing Shi Sect.

It was also the sect that Zhou Yu joined during the third simulation in this world.

Of course, only two of the three simulations in this world were successful, so the one who joined the Azure Stone Sect was merely Zhou Yu's second avatar in this world.

At this moment, the Qing Shi Sect was brightly decorated and bustling with activity.

"I never expected that Grandmaster Qianyu could become a Void God using the profound system of rules."

"Yes, the Rules of Mystery system is notoriously difficult, and can be considered one of the most difficult systems! The previously released information indicated that Ancestor Qianyu became a master using the ancient cultivation system, but unexpectedly, it was the Rules of Mystery system that quietly reached the Void God level in the end."

"."

Many disciples within the Qing Shi Sect were discussing it.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Qing Shi Sect, Zhou Yu was sitting with two other figures.

Although the Azure Stone Sect was founded by a Void God at the Unity Realm, that Void God had died in an accident long ago.

Currently, the strongest members of the Azure Stone Sect are these three, all of them are Void Gods at the initial stage.

The three nascent Void Gods would be enough to dominate and be absolutely invincible in any ordinary universe or chaotic continent.

Unfortunately, this is the Sacred Realm of the Seven Star Sea.

The Qing Shi Sect, with only three nascent Void Gods, is hardly worth mentioning. The area it governs is only about ten million miles.

The other two Void Gods are an old man in a blue robe named Ling Shui Patriarch, who is the most senior Void God in the Qing Shi Sect and belongs to the ancient cultivation system.

There was another figure with three eyes and a face shrouded in thick mist. His name was Feng Qingshui, a pure bloodline cultivator. He was able to cultivate to the Void God level through bloodline cultivation, which showed that he must have an extraordinary bloodline source. However, Feng Qingshui never mentioned it, and when someone asked, he would just gloss over it. Over time, no one asked anymore.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, you've become a Void God using the profound mysteries of the rules. Although you've only just broken through, you're probably no weaker than Junior Brother Qingshui or me," Elder Lingshui said with a smile.

“Junior brother, you can go to Demon Ancestor City later and try to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace. If you succeed, it will be of great benefit to our Qing Shi Sect.”

For a small sect like the Qing Shi Sect, it would indeed be a great thing if someone could join the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, one of the three overlords of the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm.

In the eyes of the Spirit Water Ancestor, Zhou Yu did indeed have a good chance.

The number of cultivators who can become Void Gods through the profound system of rules is very small. As long as they can pass some tests and have a clean background, joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace is not difficult.

Overall, even a Void God from a regular system of rules and mysteries has a good chance of joining.

"I'll give it a try after some time," Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

He does indeed intend to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace. Even if his clone doesn't join, it will join once his clone in the universe leaves the universe.

After all, the Qing Shi Sect is too small, and its inheritance is pitifully small. Only by joining a larger power can one access higher-level inheritances.

“Junior Brother Qianyu, it would be best if you broke through your ancient cultivation talent before going. Your ancient cultivation talent is extremely rare, and the Taixu Heavenly Palace will surely value it. Even if you are not quite right in terms of the mysteries of the rules, you will still have a great chance of joining with your ancient cultivation talent,” Feng Qingshui said at this moment.

"Mm." Zhou Yu nodded.

The three chatted casually when a disciple flew in, saying that the ceremony was ready.

"Junior brother, please." Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Qingshui both stood up, and Zhou Yu quickly followed them out of the main hall.

For the Qing Shi Sect, the birth of a Void God is indeed a major event and must be celebrated grandly.

. . .

"But the initial stage of the Void God realm can only be described as the very beginning."

After the ceremony, Zhou Yu returned to his usual meditation room and announced that he would be going into seclusion.

Becoming a Void God was not difficult for Zhou Yu. After taking over this clone, he cultivated for a period of time, and his "Time and Space Dao" naturally broke through, allowing him to reach the level of a Void God.

Zhou Yu went into seclusion again, and in just three thousand years, he broke through the Dao of Arrays.

In the fifth thousand years, the Path of Destruction also broke through.

At this time, Zhou Yu also began to perfect his unique skill.

His avatars in the Tianyu Universe created many unique skills.

From Zhou Yu's current perspective, some of those unique skills could be further improved and used. For example, the unique skill of refining the body with array formations, "Cosmic Body", could be further improved with array formations at the Void God level.

With the accumulation of knowledge from other worlds, creating unique skills was not difficult for Zhou Yu. During his eight thousand years of seclusion, he created the "Cosmic Body," a Void God-level technique.

However, although the unique skill was created, cultivating it requires many resources.

"If this were in the Tianyu Universe, it would indeed be quite troublesome. Fortunately, this is in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm," Zhou Yu thought with great emotion.

With a wave of his hand, a palm-sized stone appeared there, its surface shimmering with strange colors, incredibly beautiful.

"Source Stone".

Zhou Yu felt a longing in his soul, as if it desperately wanted to devour the stone.

"The entire chaotic void is a huge source world, and the source world stone is a treasure formed from the primordial essence that has dissipated from the source world. It is incredibly magical," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

For example, the power within the Origin Stone can replace most treasures.

For example, the Origin Stone can strengthen the soul. This effect is not only effective for Void Gods, but also for Cosmic Gods, whose souls can benefit from it.

“I have a talent called ‘Soul Amplification.’ If I could let my soul absorb Origin Stones, the benefits would be enormous. Unfortunately, I can’t afford it.” Zhou Yu shook his head.

The entire Qing Shi Sect is probably worth only a hundred or so Origin Stones. This includes books, weapons, and other treasures. They actually possess only about a dozen Origin Stones.

Zhou Yu only had three Origin Stones in his possession, which he obtained after breaking through to the Void God realm.

As for the wealth he accumulated before breaking through to the Void God realm, it was mostly from sect contributions; he never earned a single Origin Stone.

Without much thought, Zhou Yu quickly used his sect elder authority and sect contribution points to have many treasures delivered to him.

These treasures are all needed for cultivating the "Cosmic Body", but they are not complete. Given the Qing Shi Sect's sphere of influence, it would probably take a long time to collect them all. Zhou Yu decided to use the energy of the "Source Stone" to complete the remaining parts.

call!
Zhou Yu quickly began absorbing numerous treasures, causing his physical body to undergo a transformation.

The transformation of the physical body cannot be completed in a short time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the physical transformation, Zhou Yu went to study the ultimate techniques of the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Destruction.
Unbeknownst to him, thirteen thousand years had passed, and Zhou Yu had completely completed his accumulation within the system of rules and mysteries.

"Next is the ancient cultivation system," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

His ancient cultivation system awakened the talent of "void travel".

His ancient cultivation system is now at the Dominator level. Relying on his ancient cultivation talent, Zhou Yu can travel 300 million miles in one trip in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm, which is roughly equivalent to the distance a normal nascent Void God would travel in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm in three months.

If the ancient cultivation system can produce Void Gods, then the distance traveled will likely undergo a true qualitative change.

For Zhou Yu, cultivating the ancient cultivation system to the level of a Void God was not difficult. As long as there were resources and inheritance, the cultivation of the ancient cultivation system was much easier than that of the rule-based system.

The reason Zhou Yu hasn't been in a hurry to break through is because the ancient cultivation inheritance he obtained from the Qing Shi Sect, "Void Escape," is only at the initial stage of the Void God realm.

Zhou Yu felt that things were alright at the lower levels, but if he continued to cultivate according to "Void Escape," he probably wouldn't be able to unleash the full potential of his ancient cultivation talent.

Therefore, Zhou Yu decided to create his own ancient cultivation tradition.

In reality, ancient cultivators possess all sorts of unique talents, and many of them cannot find a lineage that perfectly matches their own talents.

However, even without the talent for ancient cultivation, one can still cultivate through ancient cultivation traditions, so many people don't care about whether they are compatible with the tradition.

But Zhou Yu was different. The inheritance of "Void Escape" was not very advanced to begin with, since the highest level was only the initial stage of Void God. He wanted to make the most of his ancient cultivation talent, so he decided to create his own ancient cultivation inheritance.

“Regardless of the cultivation system, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to comprehend the supreme rules. Different schools of ancient cultivators, in the end, comprehend different supreme rules. To create an ancient cultivation lineage of the Void God level, the ‘Void School,’ one must first reach the Void God level in terms of understanding of the void,” Zhou Yu thought to himself.

This was not difficult for Zhou Yu, as he had accumulated knowledge from other worlds. The key was the system of rules and mysteries. Among the three Void God-level Daos he had mastered, one of them was the "Dao of Time and Space".

This path alone has given Zhou Yu an extremely high level of understanding of the void.

In addition, there are several ancient cultivation traditions within the Qing Shi Sect, which Zhou Yu can learn from.

In the blink of an eye, another eight thousand years have passed.

"It can be considered a success." Zhou Yu smiled, and he immediately spent his sect contribution points to have the disciples of the Qing Shi Sect send over a large number of treasures.

As for those that cannot be collected in a short period of time, the gaps will still be filled with "Source Stones".

With a wealth of inherited and created treasures, Zhou Yu broke through the second system of cultivation, the ancient cultivation system, in just over a hundred years.

At this moment, Zhou Yu also sensed the difference.

"Try it."

As soon as Zhou Yu had a thought, the extremely stable void of the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm suddenly fluctuated.

Whoosh!
In an instant, Zhou Yu disappeared from the Qing Shi Sect. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at a high peak in the far distance.

"We've traveled approximately ten trillion miles," Zhou Yu thought with astonishment.

This is probably a traversal ability that surpasses that of ordinary Chaos Realm cultivators. While Chaos Realm cultivators can open up spacetime passages to travel in the Holy Realm, it is extremely difficult for them to traverse an entire Holy Realm.

On the contrary, at Zhou Yu's current speed, he could potentially traverse a Holy Realm in hundreds of thousands of years.

"At the very least, we need to go to the nearest Demon Ancestor City; it only takes a few trips to get there," Zhou Yu understood.

The Taixu Heavenly Palace established twelve Chaos Cities in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm, each named after one of the twelve Chaos Realms of the Taixu Heavenly Palace, and each city was guarded by an incarnation of one of the Chaos Realms.

Demon Ancestor City is the closest to the Azure Stone Sect, but the cultivators of the Azure Stone Sect rarely visit Demon Ancestor City.

Even for Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Qingshui, it would take them 100,000 years to travel there, and there would be risks along the way.

They wouldn't go there easily unless they needed to purchase some strategic materials.

Now, it will probably only take Zhou Yu a few breaths to get there, which is indeed much faster.

"Go back first."

With a thought, Zhou Yu headed towards the direction of the Azure Stone Sect.

However, he only traveled through the passage once when he left, but when he returned, Zhou Yu traveled through it three times before finally getting back to the Qing Shi Sect.

There was no other way. Relying on ancient cultivation talents was not something he had figured out on his own. The farther he traveled, the greater the error became. Zhou Yu had to adjust twice before he returned to his meditation room in the Qing Shi Sect.

"It's time to go to the Taixu Heavenly Palace." Zhou Yu made up his mind. Although he was confident that he could quickly reach the Void God Unity Realm by continuing his seclusion, the Chaos Realm would be much more difficult. Joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace would be much easier.

. . .

Zhou Yu soon emerged from seclusion and planned to bid farewell to Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Qingshui.

Once he breaks through to become a Void God, he will no longer have clones. Although the Azure Stone Sect is weak, it has provided Zhou Yu with a lot of help, so he naturally needs to make arrangements before leaving.

However, to Zhou Yu's surprise, he was unable to contact Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Qingshui.

"Elder Qianyu, Elder Lingshui and the other two left the sect a few years ago. Because you were in seclusion, Elder Qianyu, we didn't inform you at the time." A ruler dressed in white robes quickly informed Zhou Yu of the news.

He is the sect leader of the Azure Stone Sect and the Flying Feather Ruler.

In the Qing Shi Sect, the sect leader is always a True God, and Void Gods are all patriarchs of the sect.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu nodded slightly, but just as he was pondering what to do, the Flying Feather Sovereign spoke again:

"Elder Qianyu, Elder Lingshui left behind a treasure, saying that you will understand after you come out of seclusion and see it."

"You'll understand after reading it?" Zhou Yu wondered.

"What treasure?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I don't know."

"The treasure isn't on you?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"The treasure is of utmost importance, so I dare not carry it with me; it has always been stored in the Treasure Pavilion," the Flying Feather Sovereign explained.
"Elder Qianyu should go and fetch it himself."

"You are the sect leader, what are you afraid of? Go and fetch it."

Zhou Yu then said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Flying Feather Sovereign paused for a moment, but he quickly nodded, bowed, and flew towards the Treasure Pavilion.

At the same time, inside the Treasure Pavilion, a figure dressed in black robes also received the news.

"Hmph, this Elder Qianyu, I originally thought he was a talented person and even wanted to recruit him into the sect, but who would have thought he would be so ungrateful." The black-robed figure sneered inwardly.

"This fellow's talent in ancient cultivation is truly remarkable. He can cultivate the profound system of rules to the level of a Void God. He must have become a Void God long ago. His ability to escape must be extremely strong. This time, we must not hold back." The black-robed figure thought to himself, and with a thought, he also disappeared from there.

At this moment, Zhou Yu stood with his hands behind his back in a pavilion, waiting for the Flying Feather Sovereign to return while also pondering what had just happened.

With him in charge, it's not surprising that the Spirit Water Ancestor and Feng Qingshui would leave the sect. But it's surprising that he wasn't notified because he was in seclusion.
It's possible, but it's also a bit strange, since Zhou Yu never said he couldn't be disturbed.

Furthermore, Elder Lingshui left behind a treasure, saying he would understand it once he saw it, which is even stranger.
And at this time—

Behind Zhou Yu, a dark figure also quietly crept in.

In an instant, the shadowy figure unleashed its attack.

Boom!

A vortex containing terrifying tearing force suddenly erupted in the black shadow's hand. The vortex was not large, but the power it contained was enough to instantly tear apart the physical bodies of hundreds of ordinary nascent Void Gods.

This is an attack that surpasses the initial stage.

"A Void God at the Unity Realm?"

Zhou Yu had been on guard the whole time, and the moment the dark figure erupted, he noticed its arrival.

The Void God is also divided into three levels: the Initial Birth, the Unity, and the Chaos.

The gap between different levels is enormous, much larger than the gap between the Heaven and Earth Realm, Creation Realm, and Dominator Realm in the True God stage.

Even an ordinary cultivator at the Opening Realm would find it difficult to easily kill hundreds or thousands of cultivators at the Heaven and Earth Realm.

One in the Unity Realm can easily slaughter hundreds or thousands of those in the Initial Realm. As for the difference between the Chaos Realm and the Unity Realm, it's beyond words; it's unbelievably large.

However, at this moment—

Although Zhou Yu realized what was happening, he didn't dodge.

Boom!

The terrifying blow landed squarely on Zhou Yu's back.

"Goodbye, Elder Qianyu." The figure in black robes spoke with considerable confidence.

With his strength, if he were to launch a sneak attack on a newly ascended Void God, even if the opponent was a Void God with a profound system of rules, the opponent would undoubtedly die.

However, the black-robed figure's expression changed the next moment.

His terrifying attack, though explosively powerful, only momentarily destroyed Zhou Yu's protective robes. When it came into contact with the physical body, his power was completely unable to tear or destroy it.

"That's all the attack power you have?"

Zhou Yu turned around at this moment, his gaze icy.

Boom!

Zhou Yu threw a punch with his backhand, unleashing a vast power that caused the black-robed figure to change color.

"It's definitely power close to the peak of the Unity Realm." He dared not take it head-on, and could only retreat rapidly while defending.

boom! boom! boom!
Zhou Yu's fists exploded continuously, unleashing hundreds of punches in an instant.

puff!
The figure in black robes finally couldn't withstand the attack and was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

Whoosh!
Without hesitation, he turned and ran out of the Qing Shi Sect.

"Where to run?"

With a single step, Zhou Yu instantly appeared in front of him, traversing the void.

"How could a mere Void God from the Azure Stone Sect be this strong? Even among the newly born realm cultivators of the Taixu Heavenly Palace, there aren't many with this kind of strength." The black-robed figure was filled with disbelief.

Although Void Gods in the system of rules and mysteries are generally stronger, the nascent realm is still the nascent realm. Fighting beyond one's level is not so simple, let alone completely surpassing the strength of ordinary Unity Realm beings.

But Zhou Yu didn't give him a chance to think. He unleashed his power again, slamming the black-robed figure into the green stone mountain below.

The huge commotion of the battle quickly attracted the attention of the disciples of the Qing Shi Sect.

However, most people can't even fly, so they naturally don't know what's happening. At this moment, they only feel that the entire sect is shaking, and even the sect's protective formation is about to collapse.

"You dare kill me? The Holy Church will not let you get away with this."

The figure in black robes also sensed the danger of death and roared a threat.

"The Holy Church?" Zhou Yu's heart sank slightly upon hearing this.

However, he did not hesitate.

Swish!
A Void Divine Weapon, a divine sword, instantly appeared in Zhou Yu's hand. Although it was only a low-grade Void Divine Weapon, it was sufficient for Zhou Yu as a weapon.

With a single stroke of the divine sword, a jet-black sword light containing ultimate destructive power erupted.

The sword light was everywhere, enveloping this entire space and time.

This is Zhou Yu's ultimate technique, which combines the Dao of Destruction with the Dao of Time and Space.

Although Zhou Yu's physical body, tempered by the "Cosmic Body," was incredibly powerful, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill a Void God at the Unity Realm.

But at this moment, the sword strike erupted, and countless sword lights enveloped the black-robed figure. The man who had just threatened Zhou Yu suddenly froze.

puff!

His physical body was instantly annihilated into nothingness by the sword light.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
At this moment, all the True God Sovereigns in the Qing Shi Sect flew over. There were a total of 23 True God Sovereigns. Even those who went out had clones left in the sect.

But at this moment, only 22 people have arrived, and the only one not present is the Flying Feather Overlord.

"Elder Qianyu, what was that just now?" asked a ruler dressed in a gray robe.

"They're probably from the Ancient Saint Cult," Zhou Yu said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the 22 rulers immediately changed.

In the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm, there are many crises, and the Ancient Holy Sect is definitely the most terrifying. Once targeted by the Ancient Holy Sect, ordinary forces will find it difficult to survive.

Although the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm is not the main base of the Ancient Holy Sect, it has still developed a group of missionary envoys. Even the weakest of these envoys are experts at the Unity Realm.

How could the Qing Shi Sect, an insignificant sect, be targeted by the Ancient Saint Sect?
Zhou Yu didn't say much. With a single step, he arrived in a void near the Qing Shi Sect.

At this moment, the Flying Feather Overlord was fleeing at top speed.

Zhou Yu made his move without giving the Flying Feather Overlord a chance to react, extending one hand directly.

call!
The Flying Feather Sovereign was captured immediately, and all his power was sealed.

Zhou Yu cast a soul illusion spell on the Flying Feather Overlord. With a soul far surpassing that of an Overlord, he easily bewitched him, causing him to reveal what he knew.

The Flying Feather Sovereign encountered the black-robed figure when one of his clones was out. The figure was named Shadow Envoy. After being captured, the Flying Feather Sovereign was tortured in every way, but eventually he couldn't withstand it and became a follower of the Ancient Saint Sect.

Once you embrace the religion of the ancient saints, a mark will be left on your soul, which is almost equivalent to being enslaved.

Therefore, the Flying Feather Sovereign cooperated with the Shadow Jade Envoy to capture the Spirit Water Ancestor and Feng Qingshui one after another.

The reason why they didn't immediately attack Zhou Yu was because Yingjue Saint knew that Zhou Yu's ancient cultivation talent and ability to escape were extremely powerful, and she was afraid of making a mistake, so she didn't rush to attack.

The main reason was that the Holy Envoy Yingjue thought Zhou Yu was a talented person and wanted to capture him alive so that he could also join the Ancient Holy Sect.

For this reason, the Holy Envoy Yingjue even specially invited a Holy Envoy skilled in soul illusion to come and help.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Before that being skilled in soul illusion techniques could arrive, Zhou Yu emerged from seclusion.

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Envoy Yingjue decisively took action and killed Zhou Yu directly.

But little did he know that Zhou Yu was far more than just an ordinary nascent Void God, and he was caught off guard and defeated.

"Fortunately, Elder Lingshui and Feng Qingshui are still alive." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The only regret is the Flying Feather Overlord. He is a follower of the Ancient Saint Sect, and even ordinary cosmic gods cannot help him break free from the enslavement methods. Zhou Yu cannot do it either; only a cosmic god skilled in soul manipulation can do it.

"We have no choice but to suppress him for now."

Zhou Yu suppressed the Flying Feather Sovereign, and then moved back to the Azure Stone Sect.

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