Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 198 Dongbo Xueying's Breakthrough During Seclusion

After Zhou Yu's breakthrough, there was a celebration within the Taixu Heavenly Palace, and the news spread rapidly throughout the chaotic void.

Upon learning that Zhou Yu was the seventh-level expert of the Star Tower who had been hunting down the Heavenly Saint Monarch on the Nine Cloud Continent, many beings took him very seriously and launched an investigation.

"Elder Qianyu has grown so quickly. He's only been a member of the Taixu Heavenly Palace for tens of thousands of years?"

Many powerful forces were shocked when they investigated. Although they understood that Zhou Yu must have cultivated in time acceleration, the speed of his cultivation was simply too fast.

"They all cultivated and accumulated a lot on their own, and then made rapid progress. They're almost like sword masters now. I just don't know if they can become cosmic gods." Many forces felt quite solemn.

But some people don't care.

The Ancient Sacred Realm, one of the Five Sacred Realms, is a part left behind after the original Ancient Sacred Realm was shattered. If the Nine Clouds Continent is just a fragment of the original Ancient Sacred Realm, then the Ancient Sacred Realm is a part of the true original Ancient Sacred Realm.

Occupying this sacred realm is the Ancient Holy Cult, the strongest force in the chaotic void.

At this moment, the Holy Lord sat cross-legged in his palace, draped in a black gauze robe, his exquisite face exuding an aura of supreme order.

As the leader of the Ancient Holy Sect, the Holy Lord is a cosmic god of the ultimate realm. He would not care about the birth of an ordinary Chaos Realm cultivator, and the people of the Ancient Holy Sect would not bother the Holy Lord because of this matter.

However, because Zhou Yu's growth rate was exceptionally fast, this matter still reached the ears of the Holy Lord.

"Interesting." The Holy Lord glanced at Zhou Yu's information and then paid it no mind.

Having survived countless devastations and witnessed too many geniuses, he now hopes that one day a talent will emerge and bring him some surprises.

His own comprehension was ultimately limited, while geniuses were able to create some incredible methods.

The methods of Emperor Jiuyun were exactly what he needed, but Emperor Jiuyun refused to give them to him even at the cost of his life.

"Unfortunately, this era should be coming to an end soon." The Holy Lord didn't think much of it. He still had some expectations for the Sword Master, but it was hard to say about Elder Qianyu.

. . .

With Zhou Yu's breakthrough, the Taixu Heavenly Palace also became busy.

First, a new branch was established within the Taixu Heavenly Palace, named "Qianyu Palace," with Zhou Yu as its master.

At the same time, they also began planning to build a Chaos City.

With each additional Chaos City, the Taixu Heavenly Palace gains a greater degree of control over its territory, which is why the Chaos Realm is so important.

However, although the Taixu Heavenly Palace was busy, Zhou Yu himself did not participate much.

He remained in seclusion within the Palace of Time.

Everyone understood this. First, Zhou Yu was in a period of rapid progress. Second, anyone who had just broken through to the Chaos Realm would immediately go into seclusion to perfect their strength and methods.

"Moreover, according to rumors, the Lord of Qianyu Palace has reached the seventh level of the Star Tower while still in the Unity Realm. When the Lord of Qianyu Palace comes out of seclusion, he will probably be an eighth-level expert." Everyone sighed.

Even someone like the Demon Ancestor, after countless years of cultivation, only reached the eighth level of the Chaos Realm. This level is already quite remarkable. As for the ninth level of the Chaos Realm? There are fewer of them than even the Gods of the Universe, so it's not easy to reach.

Zhou Yu's seclusion this time did not last long, and he also broke through in the Dao of Arrays, reaching the Chaos Realm.

The Path of Destruction is more difficult, and Zhou Yu had not yet comprehended the sixth-level moves of the Star Tower in the Path of Destruction. Even with the Sword Master's "Myriad Phenomena Sword Path" as a reference, Zhou Yu still spent a lot of effort to break through this path.

"I'll wait until my other world's beast avatar comprehends this path to a sufficiently high level before I begin cultivating it," Zhou Yu thought to himself, shaking his head.

He clearly has some talent in the Path of Destruction, but not that much, and he obviously can't keep up with the other two paths, so it is indeed more difficult for him to comprehend them.

After Zhou Yu chose to temporarily abandon the Path of Destruction, he began cultivating the two paths of Void and Time within the ancient cultivation system.

He had seen a large number of ancient cultivation traditions at the Nine Clouds Emperor's place, but Zhou Yu still did not intend to cultivate according to a certain tradition completely. Instead, he would absorb the mysteries of these traditions and create his own.

The path he is to take encompasses many directions, including the Void Path and the Time Path.

"With the foundation of the Chaos Realm, comprehending many mysteries is too smooth," Zhou Yu said with deep emotion.

Compared to the Unity Realm, the Chaos Realm involves two main changes: first, a qualitative change in the soul; and second, the establishment of the rules governing the Chaos Realm.

While one can comprehend some of the mysteries of the supreme rules in the Unity Realm, these are only superficial and incomplete.

Now that we have the rules of the Chaos Realm as a foundation, it will be much easier to comprehend them.

Naturally, both schools of thought reached the peak of the seventh level.

"To reach the eighth level, it will take time to settle down." Zhou Yu understood that any path has many branches. If you had to quantify a branch, comprehending one percent would be the seventh level, and comprehending ten percent would be the eighth level. Of course, to fully comprehend it would be to become a cosmic god.

Reaching one percent after breaking through to the Chaos Realm is not difficult, but reaching ten percent will take time.

"The fusion of time and space is the key to the eighth level of the technique." Zhou Yu began to ponder the matter of time and space fusion.

The fusion proceeded smoothly along the original path, particularly in the "Hunyuan Time-Space Branch," naturally reaching the eighth level.

“But a true path of time and space cannot have only one branch. I need to think about opening a second branch.” Zhou Yu pondered.

It was evident from dealing with the Heavenly Saint Monarch that he lacked offensive capabilities, so the second branch he established had to be one that excelled in attack.

"When I opened the first branch, I first discovered the existence of that special space-time, and then I had the Nine Clouds Emperor's method as a foundation, so the difficulty was not that great. But the second one is different; it is truly from nothing to something." Zhou Yu understood this point.

Of course, the first point about not being difficult is only relatively speaking.

Emperor Jiuyun clearly studied the Dao of Time, but he may not be able to integrate the mysteries of time into his "Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique".

Zhou Yu is extremely skilled in this area, which is why he was able to do it when he reached the Unity Realm.

"Based on previous experience, using the void as a foundation, I will first create a set of offensive techniques, and then try to incorporate the mysteries of time." Zhou Yu quickly made up his mind.

Time is passing by.

Before we knew it, 120,000 years had passed.

Inside the Time Palace at this moment.

Zhou Yu pointed his finger, causing a slight ripple in the void. The next moment—

Rumble!
A large area of ​​void collapsed and shattered instantly.

hum!
The Time Palace's artifact spirit instantly manipulated the formation to suppress it.

"Palace Master Qianyu, without using too much power, this move is already roughly at the limit of the sixth level of the Star Tower. Has he created another move at the eighth level?"

The spirit of the Time Palace pondered this in his heart, but he didn't think much of it.

Given Zhou Yu's achievement of reaching the seventh level of the Star Tower at the Unity Realm, it is quite normal for him to create an eighth-level technique.

But in reality, this is clearly something the spirit of the Time Palace doesn't understand.

The moves at level eight are not all the same.

Zhou Yu reached the seventh level of the Star Tower through the fusion of space and time in the Unity Realm. It is normal that his previous space-time fusion techniques reached the eighth level.

But at this moment, this light touch was entirely Zhou Yu's utilization of the mysteries of the void.

Zhou Yu, who only comprehended about one percent of the major branches of the Void Dao, actually created eight levels of techniques in the Void Dao.

"The combined power of all the meridians in this move is even more powerful than I expected." A hint of emotion appeared on Zhou Yu's face at this moment.

Other Chaos Realm cultivators might also be able to create techniques combining different branches, but if they aren't perfect, they might only slightly increase the power of the techniques, not enough to bring about a qualitative change. But Zhou Yu's techniques have undergone a qualitative change; this is pure talent. Many Void Dao Universe Gods might not be able to create such techniques.

"What if this move, 'Shattering the Void,' were combined with the mysteries of time?"

Zhou Yu quickly came up with an idea: the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique was merely a fusion of the mysteries of the current branch of the Time Stream School, forming the first branch of the Time-Space Dao.

However, for this "shattering of the void," Zhou Yu decided to incorporate a bit of the mystery from each of the three major branches of the past, present, and future, with the goal of shattering all the void of the past, present, and future.

However, while the idea was good, Zhou Yu found it difficult to actually implement.

"Too difficult, indeed too difficult." Zhou Yu frowned in thought.

To achieve the perfect harmony between the various branches of the void without disrupting the overall sense of unity, while simultaneously integrating the mysteries of time with every wisp of the void's secrets, is a challenge that most people in the Chaos Realm would never even dare to imagine.

call!
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yu conjured a blue wine jar in front of him, filled with seven-colored wine that emitted an incredibly amazing "fragrance".

This wasn't actually a fragrance, but rather an attraction to the soul; Zhou Yu's soul desperately wanted to drink this jar of wine.

"I didn't expect to need this treasure so soon," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

This is one of the most precious treasures of the "Lord of Geyue City," called "Nine-Colored Dew." It is said that drinking a sip can put a cultivator into a state second only to enlightenment.

It has a significant effect on the gods of the universe.

This small jar is worth more than 500,000 Origin Stones.

“Even without relying on the ‘Nine-Colored Dew,’ I could create this move with more time, but treasures are meant to be used.” Zhou Yu no longer hesitated; he picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu felt a surge of clarity in his soul.

Zhou Yu has been consuming Origin Stones all these years, making him far stronger than a normal Chaos Realm cultivator. He also has special talents such as "Super Thinking" to assist him, making his soul thinking speed fast enough.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's cultivation efficiency underwent another qualitative change.

"Time is running out!"

Zhou Yu dared not waste any time, so he quickly calmed down and began to comprehend it.

. . .

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was meditating inside the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

Meanwhile, in the distant Tianyu Universe, something of moderate importance also occurred.

Dongbo Xueying has transcended.

He transcended the mundane world after cultivating for two hundred thousand years, a speed that is unbelievably fast.

The powerful beings in the universe were all amazed. Although this speed could not compare to Zhou Yu's back then, they all understood that Zhou Yu's cultivation was not normal and that the situation was different.

"As expected of the Flame Lord's disciple."

"I'm afraid Lord Flamefire must have put in a lot of effort to help his disciple transcend so quickly."

Even ordinary, highly capable people are filled with emotion.

However, Blood Blade God Emperor, who knew Zhou Yu's current strength, understood that Dongbo Xueying was an unparalleled genius. With a little guidance, it was normal for Zhou Yu to be able to quickly transcend his limitations.

"Not to mention Dongbo Xueying, even I have benefited greatly," Bloodblade God Emperor sighed inwardly.

After learning that Zhou Yu's cultivation level might have reached that of the Demon Ancestor, he put aside his pride and sought his guidance. Zhou Yu did not hold back and gave Blood Blade God Emperor a lot of pointers and advice.

Bloodblade God Emperor, who was already not far from the Void God, has finally found the path.

"I will break through within a thousand years." Bloodblade God Emperor was quite confident at this moment.

Dongbo Xueying has made many friends in the God Realm over the years, so he naturally celebrated his becoming a powerful being.

When the banquet ended, Dongbo Xueying was with his wife Yu Jingqiu, and the two were talking about the future.

At this time, Dongbo Xueying was still young and had not thought about whether Yu Jingqiu could transcend in the future; he only had endless expectations for the future.

And at this time—

Swish!
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"Master?" Dongbo Xueying quickly stood up.

"Greetings, Lord Flamefire." Yu Jingqiu also stood up and bowed.

"No need for formalities." Zhou Yu glanced at the two of them and smiled, "Xueying, your transcendence is a joyous occasion. The treasures I prepared earlier should be given to you now."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu waved his hand and took out a black fragment.

"What is this?" Dongbo Xueying was surprised when he saw the fragment.

Whoosh!
With a thought, another identical fragment appeared in his hand.

"Is this the fragment we got when we went to the island in the middle of the lake to rescue my father?" Yu Jingqiu recognized it as well.

“Yes.” Dongbo Xueying nodded, then looked at Zhou Yu and asked, “Master, what is the origin of these two fragments?”

Dongbo Xueying understood that for his master to personally hand over the fragment to him, its origins must be extraordinary.

“It’s the key to the starting place,” Zhou Yu said.

"The Land of Beginning?"

Dongbo Xueying was puzzled.

“It’s just ‘a thatched cottage’,” Zhou Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Dongbo Xueying immediately understood.

"Yijian Caotang" is one of the five most dangerous places in the universe, on par with Huxin Island and Liudao Tianlun, but ranked last.

“This initial land is quite interesting; you can go and explore it,” Zhou Yu said without elaborating.

Although Dongbo Xueying had just broken through, he had cultivated several unique skills he had created and possessed a true divine artifact. At the Heaven and Earth Realm level, he was still incredibly powerful, and ordinary Venerables were no match for him.

"clear."

Dongbo Xueying nodded.

"Now that you've transcended, you should know about your future cultivation path." Zhou Yu pointed his finger, and a flood of information poured into Dongbo Xueying's mind.

"The Realm of Heaven and Earth, the Realm of Creation, the Realm of Domination," Dongbo Xueying pondered in his heart.

This information not only introduces various realms of cultivation, but also provides methods for their practice.

"Should I open up a new path next?" Dongbo Xueying pondered. With his current accumulation, it seemed that opening up a new path was not too far away.

Zhou Yu didn't say much to Dongbo Xueying and left quickly.

Dongbo Xueying, however, was not in a hurry to go to the Initial Land. He planned to make more preparations before heading there.
P.S.: There will be another update later.
