Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 189 The Third Floor of the Star Tower of the Taixu Heavenly Palace

Inside the Demon Ancestor's City.

"With your talent, reaching the fifth level of the Star Tower won't be difficult, but to reach the Chaos Realm, you'll still need to undergo trials and tribulations," the Demon Ancestor said, looking at Zhou Yu.

"The Punishment Hall, which I oversee, offers the most combat opportunities. If you are interested, you can come to the Punishment Hall as well."

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded.

Seeing this, the Demon Ancestor said nothing more and quickly left.

Zhou Yu was in no hurry to set off immediately, as he still had matters to attend to regarding the Qing Shi Sect.

"Brother Qianyu, you can leave the Azure Stone Sect to me," Elder Blood Rain said with a smile.
"It's not difficult to find a sect's headquarters near Demon Ancestor City. If there's any trouble, I can always take care of things at the Azure Stone Sect."

Elder Xueyu's decision to take over the affairs of the Qing Shi Sect at this time was clearly motivated by a desire to befriend Zhou Yu.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Xueyu." Zhou Yu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Don't worry." Elder Blood Rain nodded.

Soon, Zhou Yu accompanied Ling Shui Patriarch and the others to find a sect's base near Demon Ancestor City. After that, he did not hesitate any longer and went directly to the space-time teleportation array in Demon Ancestor City.

A single Holy Realm is too vast. Within the twelve Chaos Cities, the Taixu Heavenly Palace has established spacetime teleportation arrays for easier management.

Although Zhou Yu's own space travel was fast, it was not as fast as the space-time teleportation array. Moreover, there might be unknown dangers along the way to the Taixu Heavenly Palace headquarters, so he naturally chose to travel by space-time teleportation array.

. . .

The Taixu Heavenly Palace is located in a unique space within the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm. At the center of this space is a continent surrounded by mountains.

Numerous cave dwellings were built on the mountains, while magnificent buildings stood on the mainland.

call!
Zhou Yu used a time-space teleportation array to arrive at a palace in the center of the continent.

The spacetime teleportation array of the Taixu Heavenly Palace is not something that just anyone can use, as activating it once is very costly. Zhou Yu's arrival alone immediately attracted attention.

"A Void God in the initial stage? From Demon Ancestor City?"

At this moment, a woman dressed in white robes walked over and smiled, "Are you Junior Brother Qianyu?"

“It’s me.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"I am an inner hall steward of the Hall of Punishments. The hall master has already instructed me to wait here. Please follow me," the woman said. Zhou Yu nodded in response.

Elder Blood Rain had already informed him of the situation at the Taixu Heavenly Palace in detail.

In the Taixu Heavenly Palace, the strongest are naturally the two cosmic gods, Tianyu Ancestor and Sword Master, followed by the twelve Chaos Realm Palace Masters.

Void Gods below the Chaos Realm are actually very few in number, because ordinary Void Gods cannot stay in the Taixu Heavenly Palace for long. After joining the Taixu Heavenly Palace, they can stay for a maximum of 10 billion years. If they cannot become an inner hall elder, they must leave the Taixu Heavenly Palace and go to the twelve Chaos Cities.

However, there are exceptions, namely the inner hall stewards. They are generally Void Gods at the Unity Realm and are valued by the Twelve Hall Masters, which is why they are able to stay.

In conclusion, the number of Void Gods in the Taixu Heavenly Palace is very small, but each one is extraordinary.

This woman, though only an inner palace steward, should be quite powerful.

Led by the people arranged by the Demon Ancestor, Zhou Yu quickly went to have his identity recorded and officially joined the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

After receiving the robes, weapons, and other items, the woman led Zhou Yu on a tour of the place.

Soon the two arrived in front of a building with an all-wood structure.

"That's the Hall of Myriad Manifestations. Sword Master, you should know that it was in the Hall of Myriad Manifestations that you read countless scriptures and achieved enlightenment, thus becoming a God of the Universe." The woman said with great emotion, as this matter had greatly shocked her.

The Hall of Myriad Phenomena is open to anyone to browse, yet after she read it, her strength only improved slightly. I really don't know how the Sword Master managed to do that.

"And the Demon Ancestor, the Lord of the Punishment Hall, also studied the classics in the Myriad Manifestations Hall to broaden his knowledge and reach the Chaos Realm," the woman added.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. The key reason he joined the Taixu Heavenly Palace was the Myriad Manifestations Hall.

After all, the guidance of scriptures is crucial on the path of spiritual practice.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't expect to become a cosmic god directly after reading the classics, like the Sword Master; that was simply impossible.

Even the Sword Master had a different destiny.

The existence of a cosmic god, who has completely mastered the rules governing the universe and can create the universe from nothing at will, is not something that can be achieved easily.

"This is the Time Palace. You only need to spend Origin Stones to enter and maintain time to accelerate your cultivation." The woman quickly introduced another hall.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. Accelerating time in this world was truly difficult, which also caused the Time Palace to consume a lot of resources. Even if a Void God in the initial stage entered it and maintained a 100x acceleration for only 100 million years, it would still require five Origin Stones.

To accelerate the Unity Realm by 100 times for 100 million years, you would need 25 Origin Stones.

It should be noted that Zhou Yu's entire fortune previously consisted of only three Origin Stones. Although he has now killed a Holy Envoy of the Ancient Holy Sect, he still only has 31 Origin Stones left, barely enough to accelerate his Unity Realm for 100 million years.

"Although it's expensive, I still have to use it when necessary," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

The advantage of the Time Palace is that each cultivation session does not necessarily have to last for a hundred million years; it can be accelerated by just ten thousand years, costing only one percent of the original cost.

The woman continued to introduce Zhou Yu to the various grand halls, and soon the two arrived at the foot of a towering pagoda.

"Star Tower"

Zhou Yu looked at the tower and recognized it without the woman's introduction, since he had seen it before in the world of "Swallowed Star".

Of course, this Star Tower is definitely not the original; it's just a replica.

"When the simulation was first conducted, it was said that the clones of this world were all being simulated in a special space-time, but I don't know what the situation is," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

But no matter what, he is still very weak now, so he should improve his strength first before exploring further.

"Junior Brother Qianyu, you should know that this Star Tower is recognized as a measure of the strength of powerful individuals. Those in the Unity Realm generally reach levels one to five, with very few reaching level six. As for level seven, there have only been two such individuals in history! Those in the Chaos Realm reach levels six to nine," the woman said.
“The difference in strength between each level of the Star Tower is enormous, and it is extremely difficult to cross them. Junior Brother, would you like to give it a try?” “I will give it a try.” Zhou Yu nodded.

The books in the Hall of Myriad Phenomena are also limited. Ordinary members of the Taixu Heavenly Palace can only read the first three levels. Only those who become inner hall elders can go to the later levels to read them.

The conditions for becoming an inner hall elder are that one must pass the third level of the Star Tower in the initial stage or reach the fifth level of the Star Tower in the Unity stage.

Zhou Yu believed he could easily challenge the third floor of the Star Tower with his unique skills.

call!
Zhou Yu quickly flew towards the Star Tower.

After passing through a winding passage, Zhou Yu arrived at a vast space, where a being dressed in gray armor appeared.

Zhou Yu understood that this was a Destruction Demon Clan born from the supreme rules, capable of destroying all life. Although the Gray Armor Destruction Demon Clan was only at the lowest level, it still possessed the strength of the Unity Realm, making it difficult for an ordinary Unity Realm cultivator to defeat it.

However, it was not difficult for Zhou Yu. He threw a punch, and the terrifying power directly blasted the Destruction Demon into nothingness.

This Destruction Demon was far weaker than the Shadow Jade Saint Envoy, who only coughed up blood after taking hundreds of punches from Zhou Yu.

call!
Zhou Yu then flew to the second level.

The second layer consists of nine gray-armored Destroyer Demons joining forces. They are not simply joining forces, but rather forming a formation-like technique that amplifies their strength, defense, and other aspects, making them far more difficult to deal with than before.

It took Zhou Yu some effort to annihilate and kill them.

The third layer consisted of hundreds of gray-armored Destruction Demons working together. Their aura, attack, and defense were all integrated, causing their strength to surge once again.

Zhou Yu first fought against the hundreds of Destruction Demons with his bare physical body, but was quickly outmaneuvered.

Although Zhou Yu's physical strength was formidable, it was not enough to break through the combined attack of hundreds of Destruction Demons.

They could only rely on their physical defenses to withstand wave after wave of attacks.

"Relying solely on my physical body, I can only barely be considered as having the strength of the third level of the Star Tower." Zhou Yu understood this in his heart.

After all, he was only at the initial stage of Void God. Even if he combined some of the mysteries of creating physical bodies from other worlds, the "Cosmic Physical Body" he created could not reach the level of a true Cosmic God-level ultimate technique.

After all, the ultimate techniques at the level of the Cosmic God are created by the Cosmic Gods after they break through. It is indeed too difficult for Zhou Yu to create such ultimate techniques on his own at this time.

"Fortunately, I still have a unique skill." With a thought, a sword appeared in Zhou Yu's hand.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
One after another, jet-black sword lights burst forth, each one representing the ultimate destruction and fusion of space and time.

The sword light seemed to be everywhere, and its destructive power was terrifying to the extreme.

"How can I not dodge this attack?"

"Damn it!"

The hundred Destruction Demons quickly suffered losses, and once those losses occurred, the remaining ones became much easier to deal with.

Zhou Yu kept swinging his sword, and one by one, the Destruction Demons were swiftly killed by him.

Clearly, the "Cosmic Body" created solely through the Dao of Arrays cannot compare to the ultimate techniques at the level of a Cosmic God. However, Zhou Yu's ultimate technique, which combines the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Destruction, is a different story; its power has undergone a qualitative change.

. . .

The Hall of Punishments in the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

The Demon Ancestor, draped in a black robe, was sitting cross-legged when suddenly, a hunchbacked old man appeared there.

"Ancestor, what brings you here?" The Demon Ancestor stood up in surprise. The newcomer was none other than the creator of the Taixu Heavenly Palace, Ancestor Tianyu.

"Demon Ancestor, did you bring that little guy named Qianyu back?" Ancestor Tianyu asked.

"Correct."

The Demon Ancestor nodded, then asked in surprise, "Ancestor, you noticed him too?"

"He has already passed the third level of the Star Tower, so naturally I know that," said Ancestor Tianyu with considerable emotion.
“Since the founding of the Taixu Heavenly Palace, there have only been a handful of people who could pass through the third level of the Star Tower while still in the initial stage. Where did you find such a genius?”

"He actually made it past the third level of the Star Tower? Judging from his strength, he's probably still lacking something," the Demon Ancestor said with a frown.

If Zhou Yu were strong enough, he would have informed Ancestor Tianyu long ago.

"Look." Ancestor Tianyu waved his hand, and a scene appeared, which was Zhou Yu's challenge to the Star Tower.

When the Demon Ancestor saw Zhou Yu draw his sword, he realized that Zhou Yu's greatest strength was not his physical body.

"It's incredible that the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Spacetime can be combined so perfectly," the Demon Ancestor exclaimed.

Of course, he no longer hid it and revealed Zhou Yu's background.

"A small sect has produced such a genius?" Ancestor Tianyu was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

In the cultivation of the system of rules and mysteries, classic texts are of paramount importance. After all, once one reaches the Void God level in the system of rules and mysteries, one must establish a system of rules and mysteries with a single path as its core. At this point, what needs to be done is to be "broad-minded," and reading numerous classic texts will naturally be of great help.

If one can reach this level through solitary cultivation, one will surely be even more extraordinary after being nurtured by the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

"Perhaps my Taixu Heavenly Palace will have another Chaos Realm expert," Ancestor Tianyu thought with delight.

Judging from Zhou Yu's current performance, he does indeed have a great chance of achieving the Chaos Realm.

Even for a cosmic god, it would be difficult to deliberately cultivate a Chaos Realm expert; that requires talent.

Since its establishment, the Taixu Heavenly Palace has only had about ten Chaos Realm experts, which shows how difficult it is.

The Chaos Realm is also an important ally for the Cosmic Gods. The sudden appearance of such a genius in the Taixu Heavenly Palace naturally pleased Ancestor Tianyu.
P.S.: That's all for today.
