Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 265, Fifth Path of Sovereign Enlightenment
Zhou Yu didn't rush to the dangerous place where Dan Zunzhe was located, but instead went to the alien universe where she was first.

A vast alien universe is rooted in the dark void, exuding a powerful aura of destruction.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu and the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign stepped inside together.

This alien universe is essentially an avatar of the Lord of the Destruction God Court. As soon as Zhou Yu and his companion entered, he naturally knew it instantly.

"The Heavenly Cloud Ruler?"

The Lord of the Destruction Divine Court frowned slightly at first, but he quickly realized that the person who came in with the Heavenly Cloud Ruler was probably the legendary Dao Lord Youcang.

The Lord of the Destruction God Court was quite helpless. Normally, an Eternal Emperor or Ruler would not dare to rush in so recklessly. You should know that his strength in the other universe is much stronger than outside. Without the binding of his life oath, he could turn against you at any time.

However, this Cang Daojun is simply too extraordinary.

"The two of them went to the Three Leaves Realm. Could it be that the Dan Venerable really found the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower?" The Lord of the Destruction Divine Court thought with considerable surprise.

Although the Lord of the Destruction God Court guessed that Zhou Yu and the other person had come for the Harmony Fire Cloud Flower, he still kept a close eye on them to prevent any mishaps.

The Realm of Three Leaves is a vast world supported by three leaves.

At this moment, Zhou Yu and the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign entered, each with their own thoughts.

"Rumor has it that this Pill Venerable is a madman, but I didn't expect that the Three Leaf Realm would be so peaceful and serene." The Heavenly Cloud Sovereign looked around and said with some surprise.

"It is quite peaceful." Zhou Yu nodded. His Thousand Star Avatar had been here for eight hundred billion years and was already extremely familiar with the Three Leaf Realm.

To be honest, it's one thing for someone at the World Realm, especially one who has already clearly achieved the fusion of the strongest path, to delay breaking through for a hundred or two hundred million years, but for it to take a full eight hundred billion years is indeed a bit strange.

However, since Venerable Dan didn't send him away, he was happy to stay there.

At that moment, spacetime in front of the two rippled, and then a figure wearing a black gauze dress appeared.

This was naturally the Dharma body of Venerable Dan, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

"I have long admired Daoist Youcang, and meeting you today, you are truly extraordinary," said Venerable Dan, full of praise.

Given her personality, she would never say such a thing easily, much less praise someone against her will. But the moment she saw Zhou Yu, she understood that this Dao Lord You Cang was truly worthy of his reputation. The depth of his aura was something she had never seen before. It was hard to imagine that a Dao Lord could have such an unfathomable aura.

"Venerable Dan, you flatter me," Zhou Yu said. "Our Flame Dragon Domain Dao Alliance sent me a message saying that you have found the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower?"

“We have made a discovery; let’s discuss it downstairs,” Venerable Dan said.

Soon, the three of them landed on a stone platform.

A waiter brought some tea and snacks, and Venerable Dan quickly mentioned that she had discovered the place where the Dao-Harmony Fire Cloud Flower was located.

It was discovered in a peculiar and dangerous place called "Wave Water".

Of course, Venerable Dan did not reveal the exact location she found. She said, "Youcang Daojun may have heard that my greatest wish is to revive my deceased brothers. I can tell you the location of this Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower. I only hope that if you succeed in merging with the Dao, you can lend me a hand."

Dan Zun Zhe understood that with Zhou Yu's strength in easily slaughtering the rulers even before he had achieved Dao Integration, he would definitely surpass the Lord of the Other Universe once he succeeded in achieving Dao Integration.

With such strength, even if the other party cannot revive her brother, their ability to collect treasures must far surpass hers, making it much easier to ask the Supreme One for help.

"I heard that the Supreme One offered a price equivalent to a thousand interdimensional flying ships. That's quite a high price," said the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign.

“That will be after I achieve Dao integration.” Zhou Yu nodded and said, “I agree to this condition.”

Even without this incident, given the care that Venerable Dan had shown to his Thousand Star Avatar, he would naturally help him once the Thousand Star Avatar also achieved Dao.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Venerable Dan's face.

She was willing to take the gamble before, and now that she has seen Zhou Yu with her own eyes, her confidence in Zhou Yu's success in achieving Dao integration has increased even more.

Zhou Yu's agreement to her conditions naturally pleased her.

Soon, Venerable Dan gave him detailed directions on the location of the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower.

It would take about two million years to travel from this alien universe to the Water Wave Domain by spaceship, which isn't too far.

However, the situation within the Water Wave Domain is quite complex, and it would probably take at least 100 million years to penetrate deep into it and reach the location of Venerable Dan.

Of course, this amount of time is nothing.

Zhou Yu didn't hesitate. After receiving the news, he quickly got up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Venerable Dan suddenly said, "Lord Cang, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with."

"What is it?" Zhou Yu asked.

"He's one of my juniors. He's still at the World Realm, but he's already forged the strongest path and merged with it," said Venerable Dan.
"I thought he would break through to the Dao Lord realm soon, but after nearly a hundred billion years of seclusion, he still hasn't broken through!"

"Is this world being pondered about the 'ultimate path'?" the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign asked with considerable surprise.

As time went on, news of the ultimate path did indeed gradually spread around the Sixteen Realms Alliance.

Having stepped out of the world realm of the strongest dao, yet still unable to break through, in the past, the Heavenly Cloud Ruler, the Pill Venerable, and others would only have found it strange. Now, they immediately thought, could it be the ultimate dao?
It's impossible for someone at the World Realm to have heard about the Flame Dragon Domain. So, he must have discovered that there might be an even stronger Dao beyond the strongest Dao of Fusion, which is quite remarkable.

"I hope that Daoist Cang Daojun can offer some guidance," said Venerable Dan.

She certainly didn't expect to receive the inheritance of Daoist Youcang, but some guidance would be enough.

"It's nothing," Zhou Yu smiled, handing a jade tube to the Pill Venerable as he spoke.

"These are some of my insights and reflections; you can give them to that little guy."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Dan sighed inwardly. This Daoist Youcang was indeed magnanimous; he was willing to offer his insights and guidance even before they had met.

Zhou Yu didn't say much, and he quickly left with Emperor Tianyun.

. . .

Time is passing by.

The Sky Cloud Sovereign piloted the domain-bound flying boat, and the two quickly arrived at the "Water Wave Domain".

This dangerous place is not large, only about a hundred territories in total.

However, its internal energy is incredibly powerful, making it difficult to traverse the void using ordinary means. The water wave domain seems to have a life of its own, with vast ripples like flowing water constantly bursting forth from within, impacting various places.

If your strength is not at the Dominator level, you will find it difficult to even enter the realm.

Of course, at this moment, the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign was piloting the Domain Flying Ship. With the powerful engine of the Domain Flying Ship, it was not difficult to fly at its limit; it was just difficult to travel through time and space.

"In such a dangerous place, there should be Source Walkers, but Venerable Dan didn't mention it. Does that mean there are no Source Walkers?" Zhou Yu pondered to himself.

The Source Walker is an extremely powerful life form born from the chaotic universe. They are born eternal and possess immense power. Once their enlightenment reaches the level of a Holy City Lord, they are no less than a Lord of another universe. If the Source Walker is the ruler, they are comparable to the Sith Lord.

It should be noted that the Sith Lord is essentially a Supreme Being, but he is suppressed by the Chaos Universe and cannot unleash his full power. The fact that the Source Walker Overlord can rival him demonstrates his strength.

However, Zhou Yu didn't think too much about it. With his current strength, not only was the chance of a Source Walker Overlord appearing here almost zero, but even if it really was a Source Walker Overlord, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.

At this moment, in this vast chaotic universe, the number of beings that can threaten Zhou Yu is indeed decreasing.

Without much thought, Zhou Yu quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

"This is the realm of water waves."

Zhou Yu was also sensing everything within the Water Wave Realm. Over the past 80 billion years, his original body, the Eternal Emperor's avatar, had traveled through the chaotic universe with the Heart Sword Emperor, visiting far too many dangerous places.

However, the chaotic universe is too vast, giving rise to all sorts of perilous places. This is the first time he has experienced a place like the Water Wave Realm.

“Water element.” Zhou Yu studied it silently.

His understanding of the fire element has reached the Dominator level, and now he is comprehending the water element.

For Zhou Yu, comprehending the Dao at the Dominator level is not difficult at all; on the contrary, it is becoming increasingly easy.

Zhou Yu felt that the "Water Path" had many mysteries similar to the Fire Path, and his research on the Water Path, starting from the perspective of space, led to rapid progress.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu and his companion have been in the Water Wave Realm for nearly a hundred million years.

The Heavenly Cloud Sovereign looked at Zhou Yu, who was sitting cross-legged there, and sighed inwardly. Throughout the journey, Daoist Youcang hadn't uttered a single word, focusing solely on his cultivation. The Heavenly Cloud Sovereign felt a pang of nostalgia; when he was still a Daoist Lord, he had been just as diligent.

But as a ruler, the lack of progress over the long years had long since diminished his enthusiasm for cultivation.

With these thoughts in mind, the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign took out a gourd of wine and began to drink it with relish.

Piloting a dimensional flying boat requires only a sliver of one's attention.
However, before he could even take a few sips, he suddenly felt a vast and profound aura slowly rising from Zhou Yu.

Although the aura dissipated quickly, the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign was very clear that he had not misjudged it; it was the aura of a Sovereign-level Dao.

"You Cang, what was that just now?"

When the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign saw Zhou Yu open his eyes, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"I've achieved some success in the field of water-based martial arts," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign was utterly astonished. He admitted that Daoist Cang was extremely powerful, but his realm was ultimately inferior to that of a Sovereign. Yet, he had somehow managed to comprehend a Sovereign-level Dao out of thin air.
"Amazing, I'm impressed!"

The Heavenly Cloud Ruler said he was truly impressed.

He only mastered one Dao at the Dominator level, and it was the Dao he was most proficient in that he merged with the Dao. The difference between him and Dao Lord Youcang, who comprehended it out of thin air, is huge.

Zhou Yu didn't say much. Including the Water Path, he now has mastered five Sovereign-level Paths, but Sovereign Tianyun didn't know that before.

"It always feels like something's missing." Zhou Yu shook his head at this moment.

He clearly felt that he was very close to his limit, but even after comprehending another way of water, he still didn't achieve a qualitative breakthrough.

This is also why Zhou Yu came out to find the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower.

If he can master the supreme-level Dao, then the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower will be dispensable to him. He won't need to prepare anything, and his chances of achieving Dao-Merging will be around 80-90%.

With the help of the Supreme Stone Platform and other aids, the success rate is even more exaggerated.

But it always fell short by a hair's breadth, which forced Zhou Yu to make two preparations.

A slight difference can lead to a huge error. Perhaps the last thread will hold him back for a long time. In that case, he will still need the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower to achieve Dao.

"Tianyun, are we almost there?" Zhou Yu asked.

“Yes, we’re not far from the location that Venerable Dan told us about,” Lord Tianyun nodded.

"Wake me up when we get there." Zhou Yu didn't say anything more. He quickly closed his eyes again and immersed himself in meditation.

Having just grasped the Way of Water, he also needed to create a new method to incorporate this Way into his own method.

When the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign saw that Zhou Yu had gone to cultivate again, he was filled with admiration.

The fact that Dao Lord Youcang remained completely unmoved and continued his cultivation despite such a momentous occasion as comprehending a supreme Dao is truly terrifying.

As Zhou Yu and the Heavenly Cloud Sovereign approached, a vast warship hidden deep within the Water Wave Realm rippled slightly.

"They've finally arrived." Inside the warship, a figure stood with his hands behind his back.

. . .

At the same time, near the core of the chaotic universe.

Zhou Yu, the Eternal Emperor's clone, and the Heart Sword Emperor were walking on an incomparably majestic boulder, so large that it was comparable to a hundred territories.

Around the megalith was a raging, endless sea of ​​fire.

"As expected of the legendary Eight Primordial Domains, it has given birth to such a perilous place with boundless energy." The Heart Sword Emperor exclaimed in amazement.

The energy of this ocean of flames is many times stronger than that of a realm.

And this is merely one of the perilous places nurtured by the Eight Primal Domains.

"Yes, the power of an individual cultivator is ultimately too insignificant compared to the chaotic universe," Zhou Yu remarked with considerable emotion.

Although he and the Heart Sword Emperor traveled around for eight hundred billion years, they finally arrived at the Blazing Sun Domain, one of the Eight Original Domains.

The scenery here is far more magnificent than in ordinary places.

"It's all thanks to you that I was able to reach this place. Otherwise, if I had just flown slowly on my own, I don't know how long it would have taken," said the Heart Sword Emperor.

Now he feels that being trapped in the Heavenly Mirror Realm back then wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled, but just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and looked into the distance.

"how?"

The Heart Sword Emperor asked a question.

"The troublemakers are here." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"You mean the Ice Peak Legion?" Heart Sword Emperor asked in surprise.

"Ah."

Zhou Yu nodded. With his mastery of the Dao of Cause and Effect, his senses were probably correct.

“With Lord Dafeng’s help, the Sixteen Realms Alliance wouldn’t dare to go,” Zhou Yu said. “It’s quite remarkable that they were able to find our trail.”

"Perhaps we were exposed at Ice and Fire Lake," the Heart Sword Emperor murmured.

"No matter how they found us, they'll probably have to stay here forever," Zhou Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Heart Sword Emperor did not say much. He knew that Zhou Yu was indeed unfathomable.

Along the way, Zhou Yu has comprehended several supreme-level Daos, based solely on what he knows. His cultivation speed is simply unbelievable.

Given Zhou Yu's high level of cultivation, he was already extremely difficult to deal with.

The last time I met that Supreme Bolin, even he was bestowed with treasures such as Dao talismans and scriptures, not to mention Zhou Yu.

The Heart Sword Emperor understood that Zhou Yu dared to say such a thing because he had absolute confidence.

"What should we do?" asked the Heart Sword Emperor.

"Just wait for them to arrive," Zhou Yu said without elaborating.

Zhou Yu and the Heart Sword Emperor continued to walk and observe this vast and wondrous land.

Zhou Yu was also silently perfecting the method he had used after comprehending the Way of Water.
"Space is the foundation, from which destruction, water and fire, and cause and effect are integrated."

As Zhou Yu gazed at the vast ocean of flames, he seemed to gain some insight.

Water and fire are the outward manifestations, and they also give rise to destruction, but the most fundamental element is ultimately space, and it is space that bears all of this.

“Space carries far more than just these things.” A sudden flash of insight crossed Zhou Yu’s mind.

In an instant, countless mysteries flashed through his mind.

Gradually, Zhou Yu stopped moving and stood there motionless.

"Ok?"

The Heart Sword Emperor was secretly alarmed upon seeing this scene.

Have you gained some new insights?
He'd gotten used to it. Zhou Yu's cultivation seemed to have no bottlenecks; he comprehended things incredibly quickly. Now, he had another epiphany, which was quite normal.

"I wonder what kind of Dao he has comprehended this time?" the Heart Sword Emperor wondered to himself.

Of course, he didn't think much of it and silently stood guard beside the Dharma.

P.S.: That's all for today.
