Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 196 A Great Opportunity: Learning the News
Wow!
After leaving that special space-time, Zhou Yu also stepped into the void where he had sensed something amiss and began to investigate.

Soon, Zhou Yu discovered an extremely tiny void rift.

"right here."

Zhou Yu did not enter it, but instead used his power to penetrate and explore.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did he crawl inside.

In the surrounding chaotic space, a blue mountain peak about 90,000 miles high stood there.

Having already searched the surrounding area but found nothing, Zhou Yu arrived at the foot of the blue mountain.

"This mountain is extraordinary; it's impossible to explore it," Zhou Yu pondered.

His power, which had penetrated into the mountain peak, was completely isolated.

He entered that special space-time and saw that the interior of the mountain was a blur. You should know that Zhou Yu could see ordinary cosmic gods in that special space-time, but he couldn't see this mountain clearly, which shows its extraordinary nature.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu stepped inside.

Boom!

The moment he entered, Zhou Yu felt a roar in his soul, and an invisible pressure swept over him like an overwhelming force.

Ang~ Yin~ Weng~
Strange syllables also echoed in Zhou Yu's mind, making him feel tired.

"These are all methods targeting the mind and will." Zhou Yu was secretly shocked. He sensed that he could still instantly enter that special space-time, which gave him some confidence.

Zhou Yu looked up and saw a winding mountain road ahead, surrounded by an invisible force.

Zhou Yu tried, but couldn't break through the surrounding forces at all, so he could only go up the mountain along the path.

"It seems like it was deliberately arranged," Zhou Yu thought to himself, and he also tried to walk forward a short distance.

Zhou Yu discovered that the higher he went, the more terrifying and clear the mental pressure and strange syllables became.

"It's a good place to temper one's mind and will." Zhou Yu realized this, and he continued to walk up.

However, after advancing only about eighty miles, Zhou Yu began to feel the pressure.

When Zhou Yu reached his limit after walking a hundred miles, it seemed that if he took another step, he would collapse under that terrifying pressure.

But Zhou Yu still withstood the pressure, surpassed himself, and took that step.

Boom!

A roar resounded in Zhou Yu's heart. His mental will underwent a transformation at this moment, and he had probably reached the level of a cosmic god.

"This 'Transcendent' talent is indeed impressive," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Without this talent, he would have needed to hone his skills in place for a period of time before he could transform. But at this moment, he instantly surpassed himself and broke through this major bottleneck in his mind and will.

Of course, this talent isn't guaranteed to work. It just means that Zhou Yu already had a strong foundation and wasn't far from breaking through, which is why he was able to surpass himself instantly.

Without giving it much thought, Zhou Yu continued walking upwards.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Yu had advanced several hundred miles. He felt the pressure again, and when he reached about nine hundred miles, he felt that he was approaching his limit.

"With my current willpower, I've only walked nine hundred li?" Zhou Yu couldn't believe it. He looked up at the endless mountain road and knew that he definitely couldn't reach the summit now.

"Hmm? There seems to be something ahead." Zhou Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened. His vision was greatly limited after entering this mountain, but now that he had reached this point, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be something ahead.

"Go and see."

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and continued forward; at this moment, every step he took was indeed extremely difficult.

Even if he is a "superior" talent, it is impossible for him to surpass his limits again. If he wants his will to make another great breakthrough, he must accumulate for a period of time.

However, when Zhou Yu reached 952 miles, he finally arrived in front of the entity he had seen.

This is a somewhat broken axe, about ten feet tall. It stands there as if it has existed for countless years.

Zhou Yu did not approach; his power permeated the axe, and he began to probe.

Sudden--

"After endless years, someone has finally come," a somewhat weak voice rang out.

But then the voice paused slightly.

"The Unity Realm? Someone at the Unity Realm can get this far?"

Zhou Yu listened, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Senior, are you a God of the Universe?"

The voice paused for a moment, then said, "I am Ge Yue."

"Lord Ge Yue?"

Zhou Yu understood.

The chaotic void once had some extremely powerful cosmic gods, such as Cang Zu, the creator of the system of rules and mysteries, and Emperor Jiuyun, but they all died in the battle of the Primordial Ancient Saint Realm.

According to the information he saw in the Taixu Heavenly Palace, Lord Ge Yue was also one.

"Although you are only at the Unity Realm, the fact that you've come this far proves that you are no ordinary Unity Realm cultivator," the voice said.

“I can also sense that you are not a follower of the Ancient Holy Church.”

“I come from the Taixu Heavenly Palace, a system of profound rules,” Zhou Yu said.

"The lineage of Cangzu?" the voice said. "Very good, these treasures are yours."

At that moment, a ring suddenly appeared beneath the giant axe.

"treasure?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then picked up the ring and examined it briefly. He was quickly shocked.

The twelve black water beads he obtained from the Nine Clouds Treasure Trove were already a great haul, worth a total of 36,000 Origin Stones.

At this time, however, there were many treasures in the ring that were comparable to the black water pearl, and some were even more precious.

"If all of them were exchanged for Origin Stones, there would probably be millions of them, right?" Zhou Yu was increasingly shocked.

Could the entire Taixu Heavenly Palace possibly produce so many treasures?
"I wonder if there's anything I can do for you, senior?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I enjoy fighting, and I've always been alone, without even a disciple. However, I don't need a disciple," the voice inquired.

"My only enemy is the Holy Lord. Can you help me kill the Holy Lord?"

Zhou Yu remained silent upon hearing this.

"Haha, so there's nothing I need you to do," the figure laughed.

"You are already quite extraordinary, and you have taken my treasure. You still have a chance to become a Cosmic God in the future. Once you become a Cosmic God, you will inevitably clash with the Holy Lord. That alone is enough!"

"understood."

Zhou Yu nodded.

Indeed, no cosmic god would agree to the Holy Lord's desire to enslave all living beings, and would naturally oppose him.

"Senior, what place is this?" Zhou Yu asked. "You still don't know where this is?" the voice replied.

"This is Divine Will Mountain, which is extremely famous. Every cosmic god and even the Chaos Realm knows about it and has tried to conquer it. There are rumors that those who can reach the top of Divine Will Mountain will receive great blessings. However, it is very difficult! As far as I know, even the Holy Lord cannot reach the top of the mountain. He can only go about 10,000 miles. Although I do not like the Holy Lord, I admit that his mental will is far superior to that of ordinary cosmic gods."

"The Holy Lord has only traveled ten thousand miles?" Zhou Yu was also surprised at this moment.

This mountain range is a full 90,000 li long.

"However, no one has come to Divine Will Mountain for a long time. You are the first to arrive after that battle," City Lord Ge Yue remarked with emotion.

"It seems that Divine Will Mountain has indeed been missing for a long time."

"I discovered it by accident," Zhou Yu nodded.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: during the Primordial Ancient Sacred Realm, there were many treasure lands, but as the Primordial Ancient Sacred Realm shattered, many of these treasure lands disappeared and became difficult to search for.

However, the methods he possesses give him an unparalleled advantage in exploration. Finding this "Mount of Divine Intent" this time seems to be an accident, but in reality, it is because Zhou Yu's exploration ability is too heaven-defying. Otherwise, even if someone else came to this vicinity, it would be difficult to detect that there is something hidden in the tiny void crevices.

"Perhaps I can find some lost treasure troves," Zhou Yu pondered.

"My time is running out. I have exhausted all my efforts and even created a legacy, which I will pass on to you," Lord Ge Yue suddenly spoke again.

A flash of light appeared, and a flood of information rushed through Zhou Yu's mind.

After Zhou Yu had processed all this information, the axe, which had initially exuded a rather extraordinary aura, gradually quieted down.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu understood that Lord Ge Yue was truly dead.

Zhou Yu bowed to the axe and then waved his hand to put it away. In any case, he had received many benefits from Lord Ge Yue and could be considered his half-disciple.

. . .

Zhou Yu didn't rush to leave Shenyi Mountain, but planned to stay here for a while to hone his skills.

Meanwhile, on the Nine Clouds Continent, various forces also began to take action.

When Zhou Yu killed the Heavenly Saint Monarch, although the Heavenly Saint Monarch did not put up much resistance, the commotion was still quite significant.

The Heavenly Saint Monarch has used the "Devour" technique many times, instantly devouring everything within tens of millions of miles.

This kind of technique is impossible for ordinary Unity Realm cultivators to unleash.

This level of battle naturally attracted the attention of various forces. In the Nine Clouds Continent, although it is difficult for normal cultivators to reverse time and see the past, it is not difficult for some special ancient cultivator talents to do so.

Upon investigation, all parties involved were quickly shocked.

Although the Heavenly Saint Monarch was a Chaos Realm cultivator of the Devouring System and didn't possess much strength, his opponent, judging from the aura he exuded when he attacked, was clearly only a Unity Realm cultivator.

A Unity Realm cultivator chasing after and killing the Heavenly Saint Monarch?

"Judging from the power of his attack, although it is only at the seventh level threshold, combined with his unpredictable assassination methods, it is definitely a move from the seventh level of the Star Tower."

All factions quickly realized that another expert on the seventh level of the Star Tower had emerged.

It should be noted that historically, there have only been two instances of the Star Towers reaching the seventh level of the Unified Realm.

"It's obvious that the expert on the seventh floor of the Star Tower is the same mysterious powerhouse who killed the followers of the two major sects several times before." Many people have analyzed that the two are the same person.

I just don't know if that person broke through to a higher level, or if they hadn't used their full strength before.

Of course, what all parties are most concerned about now is this person's true identity.

One side of the three holy realms was curious, while the two major sects wanted to eliminate it as soon as possible.

If one can reach the seventh level of the Unity Realm, it won't be difficult to reach the ninth level of the Chaos Realm in the future. Naturally, the two major sects do not want another troublesome existence to emerge in their ranks.

Unfortunately, there was too little information, and they couldn't find anything out in a short time.

The main reason is that Zhou Yu's rise to prominence was too short. No one could have imagined that he, who had just joined the Taixu Heavenly Palace tens of thousands of years ago, would be a master on the seventh floor of this Star Tower.

Of course, other forces couldn't find out, but Ancestor Tianyu did.

Inside the Time Palace, Zhou Yu's avatar was sitting cross-legged when suddenly, the phantom of a hunchbacked old man appeared in front of him—it was none other than Ancestor Tianyu.

Upon seeing Ancestor Tianyu, Zhou Yu quickly stood up, but before he could say anything, Ancestor Tianyu directly asked, "Qianyu, does your avatar know about the situation of your true body?"

In the Unity Realm, the soul is insufficient to allow the avatar and the original body to maintain memory connection even when they are in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm and the Nine Cloud Continent respectively. Although Zhou Yu has a physical body comparable to an ordinary Chaos Realm cultivator, his soul essence is ultimately insufficient, so theoretically he should not be able to do it.

However, since Zhou Yu still left behind an avatar, he must have some special means.

"I know." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Was it you who caused the Heavenly Saint Monarch to be hunted down and flee the Nine Clouds Continent?" Ancestor Tianyu asked again.

"It's me," Zhou Yu readily admitted.
"I discovered the whereabouts of the Heavenly Saint Monarch on the Nine Clouds Continent. I also happened to have made a breakthrough, so I took action."

"It really is you! How long has it been since you reached the sixth level of the Star Tower? You've already broken through so quickly." Ancestor Tianyu exclaimed in amazement.

If someone in the normal Taixu Heavenly Palace reached the seventh level of the Star Tower, he would be very happy, but not so surprised, since even if one reaches the seventh level of the Star Tower, it is still very difficult to become a cosmic god.

However, Zhou Yu's breakthrough was too fast. Although Zhou Yu had avatars constantly accelerating time, it was still too fast.

"I went to Emperor Jiuyun's treasure space and had some fortuitous encounters," Zhou Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tianyu nodded slightly.

Such a rapid breakthrough is normal if there were opportunities; it would be strange if there weren't.

"Did you kill the Heavenly Saint Monarch?" Ancestor Tianyu asked again. The major forces had only discovered that Zhou Yu had been pursuing the Heavenly Saint Monarch, but whether he had actually killed him was still unknown.

“I’ve already killed them.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"This Tian Sheng was also a scourge; his death at your hands was his own fault," sighed Ancestor Tianyu.

"However, now that you have reached the seventh level of the Star Tower, it is no longer appropriate for you to stay on the Nine Clouds Continent. If the two major sects discover you, they will definitely send forces to eliminate you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded. He had already achieved his two main objectives in going to the Nine Clouds Continent, and he had no intention of returning.

"Where are you now? I'll have the Lord of Wentian Palace come to pick you up," said Ancestor Tianyu again.

"There's no need to trouble the Palace Master of Wentian," Zhou Yu said with a smile. "I can return on my own now."

"You ancient cultivators have already reached the Chaos Realm?" Ancestor Tianyu asked in surprise.

"Although I haven't reached the Chaos Realm, I've made another breakthrough and can now perform ultra-long-distance teleportation," Zhou Yu said.

He doesn't plan to reveal for the time being that he has mastered teleportation beyond distance, and using ancient cultivation as the most appropriate reason is the best one.

"This is also a joyous occasion," said Ancestor Tianyu with a smile.

Time flies, and another thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu felt he had reached his limit at Shenyi Mountain, so he didn't stay any longer.

"It's time to go back and break through," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Reaching the seventh level of the Star Tower within the Unity Realm makes breaking through to the Chaos Realm relatively easy, and Zhou Yu felt he wasn't far from that step.
P.S.: There will be another update later.
