Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 188 Joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace
Inside the Qing Shi Sect, Zhou Yu quickly found the Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Shui Qing, who had been suppressed.

The two were both excited and surprised after being rescued.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, did you kill the Holy Envoy of the Ancient Holy Sect?" Elder Lingshui asked.

He was even more surprised when he saw Zhou Yu nod.

Those were genuine experts at the Unity Realm. Although they were partly ambushed, they were suppressed without any chance of resistance.

They had all given up hope, thinking that the Qing Shi Sect was completely finished and would become an appendage of the Ancient Saint Sect. Unexpectedly, the Holy Envoy was killed by Zhou Yu.

"That Saint Envoy Yingjue is quite ordinary in strength, not much stronger than an average Unity Realm cultivator, otherwise I might not have been able to kill him either," Zhou Yu said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the two elders, Ling Shui and his companion, were helpless. They were not much stronger than ordinary Unity Realm cultivators.

“Senior brothers, now is not the time to talk about this. I killed one Holy Envoy, and as far as I know, another Holy Envoy is on his way. He may have already received news of my killing of Holy Envoy Yingjue. Just in case, I think we should avoid him,” Zhou Yu said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the two realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm is not the territory of the Ancient Holy Sect, the Ancient Holy Sect has infiltrated many forces there. If they were to retaliate, the small Qing Shi Sect would certainly not be able to withstand it.

"Alas, this is truly an undeserved disaster," Elder Lingshui couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu didn't say much; that's just how things are in the Holy Realm.

Theoretically, anyone who becomes a True God of the Heaven and Earth Realm has an infinite lifespan and can live until the Great Destruction of the Origin World. However, in reality, the Holy Realm is fraught with crises.

While this clone was simulating, the city where his parents lived was silently destroyed by a passing Devouring Stream cultivator. The Qing Shi Sect is currently living peacefully, but it has also attracted the covetousness of the Ancient Saint Sect.

Obviously, living forever isn't that simple.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, what do you think we should do?" Feng Qingshui asked.

“Let’s hide near Demon Ancestor City first,” Zhou Yu said. “I also want to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace. Once I join, many things will be much easier.”

Upon hearing this, both Ling Shui Patriarch and Feng Qingshui nodded. With such a profound system of rules and the ability to kill a Unity Realm expert while only at the Initial Stage, joining the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace would be absolutely not difficult.

It's not difficult for the Qing Shi Sect to relocate. The reason the Qing Shi Sect was established here in the first place was because there were many resource points within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. The accumulation of those resources over time was the foundation for the establishment of the Qing Shi Sect.

As for the rest, there's nothing special about it.

The current situation is also special, so we have no choice but to temporarily abandon those resources and seek self-preservation.

The Azure Stone Sect quickly gathered many disciples. Zhou Yu took everyone, including the Spirit Water Ancestor and Feng Qingshui, into his cave treasure and then traveled through the void to leave.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
They can shuttle continuously, covering the extreme distance, and can shuttle once in about one breath.

Just seven or eight breaths later, Zhou Yu waved his hand and released the two Spirit Water Ancestors.

"Demon Ancestor City?"

The two looked at the majestic city not far away. They had been there several times before and were quite familiar with it.

“We all guessed that your ancient cultivation lineage would undergo a qualitative change upon reaching the Void God level, but we never expected the change to be so significant,” the Spirit Water Ancestor exclaimed in amazement.

It was indeed quite incredible that they could reach the Demon Ancestor City, which they had to fly for 100,000 years, in just a few breaths.

"The improvement is significant," Zhou Yu said with a smile. "Let's go into the city."

"it is good."

The three quickly verified their identities and entered the city through the city gate.

Although the Holy Realm's suppressive power is terrifyingly strong, the Demon Ancestor City is still incredibly large. Even ordinary Void Gods would need to fly for quite a while to traverse the entire Demon Ancestor City.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, although you are skilled in void travel, is this your first time visiting Demon Ancestor City?" Ancestor Lingshui said with a smile.

"Within this Demon Ancestor City, there are some restaurants and taverns run by Void Gods. Some of these Void Gods are skilled at making delicious food, and their dishes are absolutely superb. It's a pity they're too expensive to eat often, but it's fine to eat them occasionally."

Zhou Yu nodded upon hearing this. In the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm, there were too many ordinary Void Gods. If he wanted to continue living in the safe Chaos City, he could only sell his skills.

However, this skill is not so easy to sell; one must be proficient in it.

Elder Lingshui and Elder Lingshui were quite familiar with Demon Ancestor City. Zhou Yu followed them and soon arrived at the Taixu Heavenly Palace's outpost in Demon Ancestor City.

This is one of the outer halls of the Taixu Heavenly Palace, where dozens of outer hall elders and a large number of outer hall stewards are stationed.

The outer hall elders were all people who had stayed in the Taixu Heavenly Palace for billions of years but failed to become inner hall elders and were thus released to the outside.

But after all, they had spent billions of years in the Taixu Heavenly Palace and read many ancient books, so their strength was extraordinary.

However, even among the outer hall elders, there are only two experts at the Unity Realm.

Upon their arrival, the three immediately recounted the attack on the Qing Shi Sect by the Ancient Saint Sect.

The Taixu Heavenly Palace was a devastating blow to the Ancient Holy Sect. Since it involved the Holy Envoys of the Ancient Holy Sect, one of the only two elders of the Unity Outer Hall immediately came forward to meet with the three of them.

This was a figure dressed in a blood-red robe, emanating a bloody aura that Zhou Yu found somewhat familiar.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, this is Elder Xueyu. As far as I know, he is a disciple of the Chaos Realm giant, Demon Ancestor, and his strength is extraordinary." Ancestor Lingshui secretly transmitted his voice, and Zhou Yu understood upon hearing this.

No wonder, the aura of the other party is somewhat similar to that of the Blood Melting Cave of the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel.

Of course, it's only similar; as a Blood Rain Elder at the Unity Realm, his aura is obviously much stronger than that of Blood Rain Cave Heaven.

"The three of you from the Azure Stone Sect, you said you were attacked by the Ancient Saint Sect. What exactly happened?" Elder Blood Rain asked at this moment.

"Alas, it's just bad luck for my Azure Stone Sect. Our sect leader's avatar encountered a holy envoy from the Ancient Holy Sect named 'Ying Jue' while he was out."

At this moment, the Old Ancestor of Lingshui recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xueyu initially nodded, but when he learned that it was Zhou Yu who killed the Holy Envoy, allowing Elder Lingshui and Elder Lingshui to escape, he found it hard to believe.

Being able to rival someone in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm is different from being able to kill someone in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Many outer hall elders can do the former, but the latter is much rarer.

A normal Unity Realm cultivator is equivalent to the first level of the Star Tower. Even if the Holy Envoy was only an ordinary Unity Realm cultivator, it would still require the strength of the second level of the Star Tower to kill him.

Elder Blood Rain initially thought the three had escaped by some unknown means, but now they were saying they had killed the Holy Envoy.
However, although Elder Blood Rain doubted the authenticity of this matter at first, he also understood that it would be of little significance for Ancestor Spirit Water to tell such a lie.

"Brother Qianyu, did you kill a Holy Envoy?" Elder Xueyu asked Zhou Yu.

"This is what I obtained after killing that holy envoy." Zhou Yu flipped his hand and took out a token.

After examining it, Elder Blood Rain understood that it was indeed a holy edict from the Ancient Holy Sect.

"Brother Qianyu, are you from the ancient cultivation system?"

Elder Blood Rain asked again, "If it's an ancient cultivation system and someone has awakened an extraordinary talent, then that's quite normal."

"I do indeed practice ancient cultivation, but I killed that Shadow Jade Saint Envoy by relying on the strength of the rules and mysteries system," Zhou Yu said at this moment.

"A system of profound rules?" Elder Blood Rain was surprised.

"Elder Blood Rain, my junior brother Qianyu did indeed become a Void God through the profound system of rules," Elder Spirit Water said, seizing the opportunity.

“Junior Brother Qianyu’s talent in ancient cultivation is extraordinary. He has an extremely rare ability to escape through the void. Our Qing Shi Sect also tried its best to cultivate Junior Brother Qianyu’s cultivation in ancient cultivation. Now, it only takes my junior brother seven or eight breaths to get from Qing Shi Sect to Demon Ancestor City!”

In reality, Junior Brother Qianyu's greatest strength lies in the profound system of rules. Relying on some incomplete texts collected by our Qing Shi Sect, he cultivated step by step on his own and reached his current level.

Upon hearing this, Elder Blood Rain was shocked. He could tell that Elder Spirit Water was taking the opportunity to promote his junior brother, but if it was all true, it was astonishing. "Brother Qianyu, since you are skilled in the profound system of rules, would you be willing to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace?" Elder Blood Rain finally asked.

"I've come to Demon Ancestor City precisely to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace," Zhou Yu said, cupping his hands in greeting. "I've only heard that joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace requires passing some tests."

"Generally, you'll be fighting the outer hall elders. If you can hold out for even a short while, you'll be considered qualified," Elder Blood Rain said.
“But since Brother Qianyu was able to kill the Holy Envoy of the Ancient Holy Sect, then the ordinary outer hall elders are probably no match for you. So I will personally test your strength, Brother Qianyu.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and then agreed.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as he demonstrates his strength, he will definitely be able to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

Soon, Zhou Yu and Elder Blood Rain arrived at a high platform specifically used for combat. The platform was surrounded by a magic array to ensure that it would not affect the surrounding area.

Elder Blood Rain, as one of only two Unified Outer Hall Elders in Demon Ancestor City, personally tested Zhou Yu, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Many other elders and deacons rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Elder Blood Rain, a disciple of the Demon Ancestor and a master of the third level of the Star Tower, actually wants to personally test a mere nascent Void God?"

"What's so special about this Void God?"

"I don't know, we'll see."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, while on the high platform, Elder Blood Rain smiled and said, "Brother Qianyu, our battle will be recorded and sent to the Taixu Heavenly Palace headquarters in the future."

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Furthermore, I will not attack. You can attack me at will. As long as you can make me move or injure me, then you win," Elder Blood Rain said with a smile.

"Of course, even if you fail, as long as you demonstrate sufficient strength, it will not affect your joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu understood. It seemed that Elder Blood Rain was very confident in his physical body.

That makes sense. After all, he is the disciple of the Demon Ancestor. The Demon Ancestor's greatest skill is the physical body. In fact, Zhou Yu's ultimate technique, "Cosmic Physical Body," was based on many of the secrets of the Demon Ancestor's "Ten Thousand Demon True Body" when it was first created.

Of course, Zhou Yu has now completely refined his body using array formations and has also absorbed the experience of creating physical bodies in other worlds, which is why he created the "Cosmic Physical Body" he has now, which is completely different from before.

"Elder Blood Rain, be careful!"

Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.

Boom!

A punch carrying Zhou Yu's immense power slammed viciously into Elder Blood Rain's chest.

Elder Blood Rain was very confident and did not dodge, but the next moment, his expression changed.

The surging power was overwhelming, and even though Elder Blood Rain tried his best to stabilize himself, he felt he could not hold on any longer.

Deng!Deng!Deng!
Elder Blood Rain couldn't help but step back.

"This"

The audience was stunned. Elder Blood Rain was actually forced to retreat by the blast?

"Brother Qianyu, you've won."

Elder Blood Rain also showed a look of amazement on his face at this moment, and he was not ashamed of his defeat at all.

He understood that Zhou Yu's punch had completely proven his strength. Someone who could possess such strength at the initial stage of cultivation would probably reach at least the fifth level of the Star Tower in the future, making him an invincible being in the Unity Realm.

It may even be possible to reach the Chaos Realm.

Losing to Zhou Yu is not shameful.

“Elder Blood Rain’s power is still above mine, so I don’t count as having won,” Zhou Yu said.

He unleashed a powerful punch, which only forced Elder Blood Rain to retreat, demonstrating that the opponent's physical strength was indeed greater.

His "Cosmic Body" still has some flaws.

"After all, I am only at the foundation of the Unity Realm," Elder Blood Rain shook his head and said no more.

. . .

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Demon Ancestor City.

The avatar of the Demon Ancestor, which had been dormant, suddenly opened its eyes.

With a single step, the Demon Ancestor arrived at the Taixu Heavenly Palace's outpost in Demon Ancestor City. At this time, Elder Blood Rain and another Unity Realm elder were there, along with Zhou Yu and two others from the Azure Stone Sect.

"master."

"Demon Ancestor."

The two elders of Taixu Heavenly Palace bowed to the newcomers, and the two elders of Qingshi Sect, Ling Shui Patriarch and Ling Shui Patriarch, were also slightly surprised and quickly bowed as well.

The legendary Chaos Realm giant, even in his avatar form, was someone the two of them had never seen before.

"Demon Ancestor." Zhou Yu also bowed at this moment.

Zhou Yu looked at the Demon Ancestor, who was dressed in black with flowing blood-red hair and a cold aura, similar to Zhou Yu's impression of him.

However, Zhou Yu was quite familiar with the Demon Ancestor, but the Demon Ancestor was not familiar with this clone of Zhou Yu, since this clone of Zhou Yu had been in the Seven Star Sea Holy Realm since birth.

"Such a powerful physical body." The Demon Ancestor recognized Zhou Yu at a glance as the person his disciple, Elder Blood Rain, had mentioned.

It's incredible that someone in the initial stage of cultivation possesses such a powerful physical body.

Even though the Taixu Heavenly Palace possesses many supreme techniques at the level of cosmic gods, and some of its disciples once had strength comparable to a third-level master of the Star Tower when they were in the initial stage, that was because they had reached the pinnacle in other aspects.

While other cultivation systems may have existed in the physical realm, a system based on the profound mysteries of rules has never appeared.

After all, the Taixu Heavenly Palace did not have any physical techniques at the level of a cosmic god, and there was no reference to them, so it was naturally difficult to create one.

"I wonder how Qianyu created such a physical technique." The Demon Ancestor was also puzzled.

"Qianyu, are you willing to join the Taixu Heavenly Palace?" the Demon Ancestor asked.

Zhou Yu nodded naturally.

"Then you should head to the headquarters of the Taixu Heavenly Palace immediately. I've already made arrangements, and someone will meet you when you arrive there," the Demon Ancestor said.

Disciples who join the Taixu Heavenly Palace generally undergo some screening.

However, Zhou Yu was from the Qing Shi Sect. Although the Qing Shi Sect was small, it had existed for a considerable period of time and was recorded in the Demon Ancestor City.

Secondly, Zhou Yu is such a genius that his identity is unlikely to be questionable. No one would be willing to send such a genius as an undercover agent; that would be too much of a loss.

"Thank you, Demon Ancestor." Zhou Yu said his thanks, while the two old ancestors beside him were also overjoyed.

Zhou Yu successfully joined the Taixu Heavenly Palace and was clearly highly valued, so the Qing Shi Sect was now secure.

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