Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 240 Ji Ning and Jiu Chen's Unexpected Discovery
Time is passing by.

More than 200,000 years have passed without us realizing it.

Over two hundred thousand years, Zhou Yu thoroughly explored the internal structure of the black humanoid creature, disassembling and collecting all the useful treasures and materials.

He also set up large formations in some suitable places to use as training grounds.

Of course, exploring this black humanoid creature was just a side effect.

For over two hundred thousand years, Zhou Yu has been comprehending the two ultimate paths he has come to understand, although the transition from the third to the fourth step is a significant hurdle.

However, Zhou Yu's clone on the Tiger Academy warship was memorizing the Dao of the Supreme Bolin, while the second primordial spirit of the Youcang clone in the Qinghua Cave was memorizing the many methods collected by the Supreme Qi.

It can be said that his accumulated knowledge and skills are increasing rapidly at an incredible speed.

The accumulated improvements made Zhou Yu's enlightenment and comprehension quite smooth.

He is making breakthroughs in each direction of his two ultimate paths.

Each breakthrough improved Zhou Yu's strength; although it wasn't a qualitative change, the improvement was real.

Of course, for the ultimate path, breakthroughs in various directions are only the first step; the true, higher-level ultimate path is the unification of many directions.

Moreover, the latter is much more difficult.

But even the highest level of difficulty has its limits. With Zhou Yu's ever-deepening knowledge and experience, the threshold is constantly being lowered.

. . .

At this moment, somewhere on the outskirts of Yu Xinghai, in an extremely secluded space.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
With two bursts of energy, a young man carrying a sword on his back and a figure in blue robes wielding a long staff suddenly appeared.

It was Ji Ning and Daojun Chishui who had agreed to go on an adventure together. Of course, Ji Ning was used to calling the other party Jiuchen.

"There's actually a hidden space here?" Nine Dust Sect Leader exclaimed in surprise.

"It is indeed well hidden. If we hadn't been chased by those strange creatures, we really wouldn't have found this place," Ji Ning remarked.

Strange life forms generally pose no threat to Dao Lords at their level, but the leader of that group of strange life forms was too heaven-defying, actually comparable to a heaven-defying Dao Lord.

In addition, it had a group of helpers, forcing Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader to flee.

They came here while fleeing.

"Bei Ming, I've noticed that my luck has improved ever since I started adventuring with you." The Nine Dust Sect Leader grinned as he spoke.
"I have a feeling we're going to make a big profit this time."

"You'd better be careful and not fall into their trap," Ji Ning warned. "This is Yu Xinghai; countless Dao Lords have perished here."

"Don't worry, I'm much better at protecting myself than you are." The Nine Dust Sect Master was very confident, after all, he possessed an immortal body.

As for Bei Ming? He cultivates the way of the sword, so he certainly can't achieve immortality.

Ji Ning didn't say much upon hearing this. He had been to another universe and obtained a natal talisman, which could revive even if the original body died. This was the true way to save one's life and defy the heavens.

As they talked, they ventured deeper into the space, and soon they discovered a massive altar.

The altar was about the size of a chaotic world, exuding a vast and mysterious aura.

Apart from some damage to the outer perimeter, the altar appeared to be otherwise undamaged.

However, after examining the items, Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader found nothing of value, which disappointed them.

"Perhaps this altar is made of extraordinary materials. Why don't we dismantle it and take a look?" Master Jiuchen asked Ji Ning.

Ji Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Be careful," Ji Ning reminded him.

So, the Nine Dust Sect Leader took out his long staff, and Ji Ning also drew his Northern Darkness Sword.

"Look at me!"

With a furious roar, the Nine Dust Sect Leader's long staff instantly grew to 108,000 feet in length before crashing down in a rage.

Ji Ning's two divine swords suddenly grew larger and fiercely thrust down.

Boom!

boom! boom!
The two men's fierce attacks failed to shake the altar in the slightest, but the patterns in the center of the altar lit up at this moment.

"No, leave quickly."

Ji Ning and Jiu Chen both tried to escape at an instant, but the space above the altar became incredibly viscous, greatly reducing their speed.

finally--

hum!
A blinding light erupted.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader disappeared from that spot.

Deep within the Yu Xinghai Sea, in ancient times, cultivators from many nearby realms fought against the Sith race. Both sides made extensive preparations. Although the Sith race has been defeated, the remaining danger still exists.

This is a place that even the rulers dare not easily set foot in.

The three rulers of the Endless Territory are all burdened with the responsibility of their races, and they dare not take risks, so they rarely come here.

Those who come here are mostly Eternal Emperors who are slightly weaker but have extremely strong survival abilities.

Many Eternal Emperors, on the contrary, have no burden and are willing to come and explore.

At this moment, an old man dressed in blue robes was leading a group of Dao Lords in a search in a dangerous place.

This was none other than the Blue Flame Emperor who had been in the Heavenly Wood Holy City before. His last visit to the Heavenly Wood Holy City was to say goodbye to his friend, the Heavenly Wood Emperor.

After all, he was in danger of dying when he came to the depths of Yu Xinghai.

"The Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel is absorbing energy at an increasingly rapid pace. We must find a way for our race to survive before it completely destroys the Flame Dragon Domain." Emperor Lan Yan released his domain to cover various areas as he pondered this.

However, at this moment, Emperor Lan Yan suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

"That is."

Blue Flame Emperor stared in astonishment as a terrifying aura erupted from there.

After the burst of energy, an extremely thick golden beam of light descended from the sky. As it fell, the golden beam of light slowly contracted until it completely disappeared.

"Ancestor Lan Yan, what is that pillar of light?" At this moment, a Daoist asked.

"Let's go and take a look," Emperor Lan Yan decided immediately.

Blue Flame Emperor led a group of Dao Lords from the special life race to rush over. However, when they arrived, two other beams of light also flew in from a distance.

Two figures were revealed in the light: one was dressed in a golden robe with a dignified face, and the other was a woman with snow-white wings.

"It's Emperor Jin Ge and Emperor Xue Yu from the Dao Alliance." The members of the special life form recognized the two, and their hearts tightened.

This is a pair of Daoist partners, and each of them is no less powerful than Emperor Lan Yan. Their combined strength is even more extraordinary.

"There are too many powerful figures from the Dao Alliance. I didn't expect to run into two experts from the Dao Alliance here." Emperor Lan Yan sighed inwardly. He knew that this opportunity was not something his special life form could enjoy alone.

Thinking to himself, Emperor Lan Yan flew forward and greeted them, "You two, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"It is quite a coincidence, Fellow Daoist Lan Yan, how have you been?" Emperor Jin Ge said with a faint smile.

"I'm sure you've seen that strange phenomenon, fellow Daoist. You should also understand that what appears in the depths of the Yu Xinghai is not just an opportunity, but also a potential crisis. How about we join forces for now?"

“Alright, let’s explore together. If we find any treasures, we’ll compete fairly,” said Emperor Lan Yan.

"can."

Emperor Jin Ge naturally agreed. Although the combined strength of the two of them was far greater than that of Emperor Lan Yan alone, they still couldn't truly defeat him.

If he angers the Blue Flame Emperor and summons the "Wind and Rain Ruler," a special life form, then he won't have a good time either.

Moreover, with a group of Dao Lords as his helpers, Emperor Lan Yan is a decent partner.

At this moment, an inconspicuous bronze piece floated in the void.

The bronze piece, seemingly a remnant of war, actually contained a vast space within it.

At this moment, inside that space.

Ji Ning and Jiu Chen were looking ahead in awe at an incomparably majestic palace that stood there, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura.

They had all seen the Sovereign before, but the aura emanating from the palace ahead was many times stronger than that of the Sovereign.

The palace gates were wide open, and both Ji Ning and the Nine Dust Sect Leader could clearly see a figure dressed entirely in gold sitting quietly on the throne deep within the palace.

"Bei Ming, don't you think that figure looks familiar?" Jiu Chen asked cautiously.

"It looks a bit like the black humanoid creature we saw before, except this one is golden," Ji Ning said.

"That black humanoid creature perished along with the two rulers. Is this golden one stronger or weaker than the black one?" the Nine Dust Sect Master asked.
"I have a feeling that he is stronger than the black humanoid life form, or at least more advanced."

Ji Ning nodded upon hearing this.

Although it seemed unbelievable, that was what he thought at the time.

"This is truly the greatest discovery of my life. I'm sure it will be difficult to make such a great discovery again in the future," the Nine Dust Sect Master exclaimed.

"Don't be too happy yet. It's still uncertain whether it's a blessing or a curse. Besides, do you know whether that golden humanoid creature is dead or alive?" Ji Ning asked rhetorically.

"Don't scare me. If we were really alive, we would have died as soon as we got here, or at least been captured." The Nine Dust Sect Leader shook his head repeatedly.

"Just be careful," Ji Ning said.

After discussing it, the two decided not to approach the palace for the time being. They circled the area and began to search carefully.

"There are some remains here that my natal weapon can absorb." The Nine Dust Sect Master quickly smiled. Last time, Ji Ning's natal weapon absorbed the materials inside that black humanoid creature, which greatly enhanced the weapon. He was extremely envious of this. Now it was finally his turn.

On the other side, Ji Ning also found many remains. Although he didn't find anything useful for the time being, he collected them all.

But before the two could rejoice for long, Ji Ning suddenly sensed a terrifying wave erupting from afar, followed by a scream from the Nine Dust Sect Leader.

Ji Ning rushed over instantly and found the Nine Dust Sect Leader standing there with a pale face, his aura having dropped by nearly half.

"what happened?"

Ji Ning quickly inquired.

"I just saw a piece of wreckage that I could use near the palace and wanted to go and retrieve it, but suddenly an attack broke out." The Nine Dust Sect Master said with lingering fear, "That attack was too terrifying; my Water Element Undying Body couldn't withstand it at all."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning was also filled with lingering fear. Even Jiu Chen almost couldn't withstand it. If it were him, he would probably have already been resurrected near the Three Realms by now through his natal talisman.

"We were attacked just by getting a little close to the palace?" Ji Ning said. "It seems we were right not to approach rashly."

"Hmm, this place is not something we can explore right now," said the Nine Dust Sect Master, as he devoured a pile of spiritual pills to quickly restore his divine body.
"Let's leave first, and come back when we're stronger."

"Take everything you can with you first," Ji Ning said.

The two continued their looting, but at that moment, a violent tremor suddenly came from the outside.

"Ok?"

Ji Ning and Jiu Chen both realized that something was wrong.

The two quickly reunited, and at that moment—

Wow!
A vast beam of light suddenly cleaved through the space.

"Haha, there really is a secret. Wait, what is it?"

A laugh rang out, but it only lasted a moment before abruptly stopping.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three figures rushed in at lightning speed.

It was none other than Emperor Lan Yan, Emperor Jin Ge, and Emperor Xue Yu.

The three of them were shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from the palace. When they saw the golden figure deep within the open palace doors, they were even more astonished and excited.

With their knowledge and experience, they naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this palace.

It's likely that during that war, on the battlefield around Yu Xinghai, this palace was one of the top-ranked structures of the Sith race.

"Hmm? There are two more Dao Lords?"

Emperor Jin Ge suddenly noticed Ji Ning and Jiu Chen in the distance.

He realized that the previous pillar of light was very likely related to these two Dao Lords.

"Those two probably know more."

Emperor Jin Ge instantly unleashed his speed, reaching out to grab the two men.

"Can't stop it."

Both of their expressions changed. At this moment, they were merely ordinary Eternal Emperors, a far cry from the Golden Spear Emperor.

"We must not be captured."

Ji Ning gritted his teeth, and a leaf-shaped treasure appeared in his hand.

Snapped!
After the treasure was crushed, an immense power erupted, and a giant sword phantom appeared.

This giant sword, in terms of power, completely surpassed that of Emperor Jin Ge, easily shattering the power that Emperor Jin Ge had used to imprison them.

"It's too profound." Ji Ning was completely captivated. This was the first time he had used the two Sovereign Dao Talismans he had obtained.

For Ji Ning, the mystery was indeed incredible, and it gave him many insights.

However, faced with such an attack, Emperor Jin Ge only frowned slightly, and he transformed into streaks of golden light.

The giant sword slashed down, scattering the golden light, but it quickly reformed into the figure of the Golden Spear Emperor.

"There wasn't much damage?" Ji Ning couldn't believe it. He didn't want to waste a second Sovereign Dao Talisman, so he immediately took out the Time-Space Disc given to him by Sovereign Mangya.

"The Time-Space Disc? So it's from the Mangya Kingdom!"

Emperor Jin Ge also recognized the treasure. He snorted coldly and took out a talisman to activate it.

However, at this moment, bursts of blue flames suddenly erupted around Emperor Jin Ge.

The unexpected turn of events caught Emperor Jin Ge completely off guard, leaving him both shocked and furious.

And it was during this delay that Ji Ning and Jiu Chen instantly disappeared through the space-time channel created by the space-time disk.

"Lan Yan, what are you doing?" Emperor Jin Ge looked at Emperor Lan Yan with great anger.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Ge, how much do you think two weak Dao Lords could know? I think they were just accidentally dragged into this," Emperor Lan Yan laughed.
"Be lenient when you can; why make things difficult for them?"

"Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we can't let it go." Emperor Jin Ge snorted coldly and said no more.

He knew that the truth was definitely not as righteous and eloquent as Emperor Lan Yan had described.

"These two Dao Lords are clearly not from special life forms. What is Lan Yan up to?" Emperor Jin Ge wondered to himself, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

However, Emperor Jin Ge didn't argue with Emperor Lan Yan too much. He understood that the palace was the most important thing, and he had to make the most of every second.
P.S.: That's all for today.
