Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 208 The Emperor's Purpose: To Obtain Treasures
call!
Zhou Yu quickly returned to Xia Clan Academy and went straight to the courtyard where he had received the token.

However, to Zhou Yu's surprise, besides Xia Fengjie and the other two, there was another figure with an even more vast aura.

"Xia Yuzhou, this is Grand Venerable Feng Chen, who is waiting for you here specifically," Xia Fengjie reminded him.

Zhou Yu wasn't too surprised to hear this; he figured it was probably because of his killing of the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord.

It should be noted that the Demon Lord of Heaven Splitting was already extremely strong before his breakthrough, and his swordsmanship had also improved. Logically speaking, he should not be someone that a Chaos Realm cultivator could deal with, yet he was still killed by him.

Even considering Zhou Yu's advantage of the location of the Demon Suppression Valley prison, it was still truly astonishing.

Since there are guardians in the Demon Suppression Valley, they must have already sent the news back to the Xia family.

"Great Venerable Feng Chen." Zhou Yu cupped his hands in greeting.

"No need for formalities," Grand Venerable Feng Chen said with a smile. "I have come to fetch you on His Majesty's orders. Please come with me quickly."

"I didn't expect even the Xia Emperor to be alarmed." Zhou Yu was also surprised. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and took out the token he had obtained after killing the three prisoners, handing it to Xia Fengjie and the other man.

"Seniors, this is the token I received. I'll be going now," Zhou Yu said.

"Haha, His Majesty is looking for you, so go quickly. We two can keep an eye on things here without any problem." The two laughed heartily.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything more and left quickly.

Meanwhile, Xia Fengjie and another cosmic god were also quite curiously examining the tokens that Zhou Yu had used to kill the prisoner.

"The Lord of Five Thunder City? This is a master of the tenth level of the Chaos Realm. Xia Yuzhou is truly hiding his strength. There has been no movement in the Chaos Realm for countless billions of years. I didn't expect him to have such strength."

"Hmm? They even killed the Blackfire Ancestor! According to the information sent by the Demon Suppression Valley, the Blackfire Ancestor has already broken through, and it was a breakthrough from another branch of the Flame Path!"

"Is this third token from the Demon Lord of Heaven-Splitting?"

Xia Fengjie and the other two were slightly taken aback.

They all received news from the Demon Suppression Valley that the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord's sword technique had broken through again, and even the renowned Xia Chengyu had died at his hands. But now, the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord had actually been killed.
"After the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord broke through, even if I were to fight him head-on now, I might not be his match. How could he have been killed by Xia Yuzhou?" Xia Fengjie was shocked.

"It seems he's the one vying for first place this time," another cosmic god sighed.

Having slain two cosmic gods, and even a figure like the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord, it would be very difficult for other Chaos Realm cultivators to surpass this achievement.

"No wonder His Majesty wanted to see him." The two of them understood now.

. . .

the other side--

Inside the main hall of the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom's palace, the Xia Emperor, dressed in a black robe, sat there, looking at two documents.

One is Zhou Yu's growth experience, how he grew step by step from weak to the Chaos Realm, and then went into seclusion for countless billions of years.

The other document contains footage of Zhou Yu battling the Demon Lord of Heaven.

This image not only records the scene, but also contains many mysterious fluctuations, making the viewer feel as if they are there.

"The mystery of the void and time is not a simple combination, but a fusion that forms a new path." Emperor Xia had a keen eye and was the ultimate master of the void path, so he made his judgment at this moment.

This is something he can't do either. First, he's not particularly skilled in the Dao of Time, and second, he wants to integrate the mysteries of different Daos, which is incredibly difficult.

"Xia Yuzhou's growth experience is very strange. When he was weak, apart from his outstanding mental will, his other talents were very ordinary. He only managed to reach the Chaos Realm with difficulty because of his bloodline."

"But how can someone with average talent be able to fuse the mysteries of different paths?"

"Could he be a reincarnated being who lost his memory due to an accident, or whose consciousness was damaged and only recently recovered?"

Emperor Xia secretly speculated in his heart.

He knew in his heart that there was no shortage of reincarnated beings on the Realm Heart Continent, all of whom were the work of "Yuan," the creator of the Realm Heart Continent.

Logically, these reincarnated individuals should retain their original memories, but in reality, it is not impossible for them to encounter unexpected events.

Soon, two figures walked in from below.

It was Zhou Yu and Grand Venerable Feng Chen.

"Your Majesty, Xia Yuzhou has arrived," said Grand Venerable Feng Chen, bowing.

At this moment, Emperor Xia turned his gaze to Zhou Yu.

Given Xia Huang's mental fortitude, his gaze would normally exert immense pressure on someone. However, Zhou Yu's mental fortitude was equally extraordinary, so it didn't have much of an effect at this moment.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhou Yu bowed.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Xia nodded, then looked at Grand Venerable Feng Chen and said, "Feng Chen, you may go first."

"Yes." Venerable Feng Chen nodded and left.

After Venerable Feng Chen left, Emperor Xia smiled and looked at Zhou Yu, saying, "To be able to kill the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord in the Chaos Realm, my Xia Clan hasn't produced a Chaos Realm expert like you in a long time."

"Your Majesty flatters me," Zhou Yu said. "It was merely taking advantage of the prison."

"Even with the advantage of being imprisoned, there aren't many Chaos Realm cultivators who could kill the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord," Emperor Xia said, shaking his head.

"His blade already possesses some of the flair of a second-tier cosmic god skilled in attack. Logically speaking, even if a Chaos Realm cultivator has the strongest survival ability, it's impossible for them to emerge unscathed from his blade, yet you did."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu understood that it seemed the Xia Emperor valued his life-saving methods.

That's normal, though. His life-saving methods are indeed extraordinary, and even compared to the ultimate form of Void Transformation, they each have their own merits.

The Ultimate Void Transformation is actually countered by the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord, because normally it requires the power of the Ultimate Realm to break free from the cage. In other words, the Ultimate Void Transformation can ignore attacks below the power of the Ultimate Realm.

However, the Destruction Path of Splitting Heaven is extremely adept at breaking through barriers. The Demon Lord of Splitting Heaven is a practitioner of the Splitting Heaven lineage, and he combines it with other branches to form his sword technique. Therefore, even though his attack power is far from the ultimate realm, he can easily break through barriers.

This kind of knife technique naturally restrains the ultimate in etherealness.

Zhou Yu's moves are different. Although they are not yet perfect and are weaker in withstanding extreme power, they have no weaknesses.

Can the Demon Lord of Heaven Splitting Cleave the void? Can he cleave through time? It's useless!
As long as his attack power doesn't reach a certain threshold, it absolutely cannot harm Zhou Yu.

"Did you create your own techniques, or did you acquire them by chance?" Emperor Xia asked.

"I created it myself," Zhou Yu said directly.

"Incredible! To create such a technique!" Emperor Xia exclaimed in admiration. He then inquired, "Does this technique have a name? May I see it?"

“I’ll temporarily name it the ‘Time and Space Immortality Technique’,” Zhou Yu said. Then he waved his hand, and a book flew out. “Your Majesty, please look, this is the original text of this ultimate technique.”

"Oh?"

Emperor Xia was somewhat surprised, not expecting Zhou Yu to agree so readily.

Many people are very protective of their strongest skills, and may not even be willing to pass them on to their disciples.

What Emperor Xia didn't know was that Zhou Yu's "Time and Space Immortality Technique" was still only a half-finished product in his mind, far from being perfect.

Moreover, Zhou Yu knew that Emperor Xia had an excellent reputation and would definitely not learn his unique skills for nothing, not to mention that he was a member of the Xia clan.

Therefore, Zhou Yu naturally took out the original version of the ultimate technique without hesitation.

At this moment, Emperor Xia took the book and began to read it.

"Just as I expected, it draws on the mysteries of the void and the mysteries of time to create a new path, based on the ethereal mysteries of the many branches of the Void Path, and integrates time." Emperor Xia nodded inwardly.

Zhou Yu is not the first to fuse the mysteries of different paths, but it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this. They usually start but can't go on.

For Emperor Xia, his desire to view Zhou Yu's classic texts was not to learn Zhou Yu's "Time and Space Immortality Technique," but rather to learn some fusion techniques.

After all, Emperor Xia possessed two ultimate paths, one of which was the Void Path.

"If I could fuse the Dao of Void with the Dao of Flame, that would be truly formidable," Emperor Xia thought to himself.

After watching for a long time, Emperor Xia finally stopped, still wanting more.

"A very powerful technique, but it's impossible for someone in the normal Chaos Realm to learn it." Emperor Xia understood that this "Time and Space Immortality Technique" was probably even more difficult than techniques like "Ultimate Illusionization."

The mere requirement to be proficient in both the Void and Time paths has already blocked countless people, and this secret technique involves six paths of the Void lineage and two major branches of the Time lineage.

In other words, one must master most of the branches of both the Void Dao and the Time Dao.

If one can master one branch of the Chaos Realm, then one can become the tenth level of the Chaos Realm, having mastered most of the two branches.

It's so difficult, so very difficult!
"The sheer difficulty of this technique significantly diminishes its value. However, regardless of whether Xia Yuzhou is an outsider reincarnated, he is still a member of my Xia clan," Emperor Xia pondered.

At this moment, Emperor Xia also looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Xia Yuzhou, would you be willing to offer your unique skill to the Xia clan?"

“I am willing.” Zhou Yu nodded. He had already shown it to the Xia Emperor, so he naturally didn’t mind offering it to his clan as well.

"Since that's the case, then according to the Xia Clan's rules, you will be awarded two hundred thousand merits," Emperor Xia said.

This is the value in his heart. This ultimate skill is very powerful, but it is also too difficult. Two hundred thousand merits is indeed the limit.

Of course, in reality, 200,000 merits is already an outrageous number.

Because this is enough to exchange for a top-tier treasure.

It should be noted that every second-level cosmic god desires a top-tier treasure. Once they possess such a treasure, their strength immediately leaps to a higher level.

Feng Chen, for example, became a "Great Venerable" comparable to the Ultimate Realm only because he possessed a top-tier secret treasure. Otherwise, he would have been just a slightly stronger second-tier Cosmic God.

Many first-level cosmic gods, if they possess some powerful secret treasures, can rival second-level cosmic gods.

Two hundred thousand merits could buy about a hundred treasures of the Heavenly Array Ring level.

Zhou Yu was also very happy, and he was already thinking about what to change.

At this moment, Emperor Xia said, "In addition, I will personally grant you 100,000 merits and three drops of 'Hunyuan Golden Dew'."

As he spoke, Emperor Xia waved his hand, and a porcelain bottle flew out of his hand.

Zhou Yu took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and saw that it contained three drops of dew-like liquid. They were golden and floated there quietly without any ripples.

"This Primordial Golden Dew is one of the most precious treasures I obtained within the inner city of the Realm Heart Divine Palace," Emperor Xia explained.

"These three drops of Hunyuan Golden Dew are as valuable to me as a top-tier secret treasure. You can take one drop when you are comprehending it, and you will know the effect when the time comes."

Zhou Yu was quite surprised to hear this. Of course he knew about the Realm Heart Divine Palace. It was the first treasure land left behind by "Yuan," the creator of the Realm Heart Continent. It contained countless treasures, all of which were rare treasures in the normal source world.

Unexpectedly, the Xia Emperor gave him such a treasure.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhou Yu said, bowing in thanks.

Clearly, the initial twenty merits were Xia Huang acting according to the rules, while the later one hundred thousand merits and special treasures he personally bestowed were all due to Zhou Yu's identity.

"To create such a unique skill demonstrates your exceptional talent. Become a Cosmic God as soon as possible; only then can you truly secure a place on this Realm Heart Continent," Emperor Xia said.
"You now possess 300,000 merit points. Is there any treasure you wish to exchange for?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "What suggestions does Your Majesty have?"

"My Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom possesses a supreme secret treasure, the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler, a pinnacle treasure of the 'Space-Time' lineage. Although its path of space-time fusion differs from yours, it is still useful to you," Emperor Xia said.
"You can exchange this treasure for something that will be helpful whether you are fighting or studying it."

“Alright, I’ll take this Heaven-Suppressing Ruler.” Zhou Yu agreed. He was sure the Xia Emperor wouldn’t cheat him; this Heaven-Suppressing Ruler should really be useful to him.

"The Heaven-Suppressing Ruler requires 200,000 merits. Where is the remaining 100,000?" Emperor Xia asked.

"I want to exchange for 30 billion Cosmic Crystals of Primordial Essence, and I'll keep the remaining Great Merit for now." Zhou Yu quickly made his decision.

Cosmic Crystals are the currency of the Boundary Heart Continent, while Hunyuan Essence is the essence collected by some extremely powerful Cosmic Gods from the Hunyuan power outside the Cage, similar to Origin Stones.

The essence of Chaos Origin, worth 30 billion cosmic crystals, is enough to enhance Zhou Yu's two clones to the extreme of the Chaos Realm. With Zhou Yu's "Soul Amplification" talent, his soul strength will probably reach an extremely exaggerated level.

The merit points of the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom are extremely valuable. Ten thousand merit points can be exchanged for 10 billion cosmic crystals. Even if he exchanges them for 30 billion cosmic crystals of Hunyuan Essence, he will still have 70,000 merit points left. In the future, if he wants to exchange for any classics, apart from those unique to the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, he will only need one-tenth of the merit points for other classics, which will definitely be enough.

"You go first, I'll have someone send the treasure over," Emperor Xia said quickly.

Zhou Yu nodded naturally, bowed, and left the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom Palace.

"I wonder how far Xia Yuzhou's path of fusion can go." Emperor Xia pondered as he watched Zhou Yu's departing figure.

The Hunyuan Golden Dew is a priceless treasure; even the Xia Emperor himself didn't have enough for his own use, and he would never normally be willing to trade it or give it away.

However, Zhou Yu's path aroused the Xia Emperor's great interest. The Xia Emperor also knew that this path must be terribly difficult, so he gave Zhou Yu three drops of "Hunyuan Golden Dew".

Such a treasure would be of great help to him, who was at the Ultimate Realm, let alone someone at the Chaos Realm.

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