Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 99 The Eternal Gaze, The Eternal Transmission of Dharma
Mastering higher-level rules does not necessarily lead to an immediate breakthrough. For example, the Physical Body Tribulation Realm requires creating a higher-level physical body according to the rules, while the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm requires a sufficiently strong mental will to bear the evolution of the Primordial Spirit world.

The former can be actively controlled, while the latter cannot.

Clearly, Zhou Yu's mental will was more than sufficient, so at the moment he mastered the rules of the Sixth Tribulation Realm, his primordial spirit world also began to transform.

boom!
Zhou Yu's primordial spirit world trembled violently, and with the pure "space-time domain rules" as its core, the primordial spirit world expanded rapidly.

The spacetime domain was calm and reserved. Zhou Yu's primordial spirit world was also quiet and peaceful at this time, but it was expanding rapidly.

It expanded rapidly from a mere 330,000 li to 3.3 billion li.

"Hmm? The rules of this spatial domain have a really big impact on the primordial spirit world, actually allowing my primordial spirit world to expand to this extent."

Zhou Yu was secretly alarmed.

Of course, having mastered this rule, he also understood that the spacetime domain rule had a sufficiently wide range of influence, and with this rule as its core, his primordial spirit world would naturally also be vast.

However, in this world, the larger the primordial spirit world, the stronger it is. Strength is determined by many factors.

"With such a vast primordial spirit world, I'm afraid I'll need to make more preparations before I can undergo tribulation," Zhou Yu pondered to himself.

The most important factor in helping someone at the Sixth Tribulation Realm overcome their tribulation is their mental will.

Zhou Yu has confirmed that his mental will is fully capable.

The remaining aspects, such as the structure of the primordial spirit and world treasures, are all helpful.

"My primordial spirit structure already has the Eight Tribulation Realm secret technique 'Primordial Spirit Stars,' which is sufficient," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"Primordial Spirit Stars" is an Eight Tribulation Realm secret technique left by Ancestor Cangyuan. It used to be within the Cangyuan Sect, but later the Cangyuan Sect split into the "Canghai Sect" and the "Yuanchu Mountain".

With the decline of the Canghai Sect, "Yuanshen Xingchen" has been missing from the Cangyuan Realm for a long time.

After Zhou Yu reached the Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm, his Nascent Soul World enveloped the entire Cangyuan Realm with a single thought, allowing him to easily find the ruins of the Canghai Sect and learn this Eight Tribulation Realm secret technique.

"As for world treasures, I possess the rules of the spacetime domain. Among the treasures left behind by Ancestor Cangyuan, I wonder if there are any suitable for me," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Within the Cangyuan Realm.

Zhou Yu once again arrived at the depths of the Heaven and Earth Palace, an area accessible only to those at the Tribulation Realm.

Wow!
Strands of white mist condensed and quickly formed an old man in white robes.

"Do you need to exchange for treasures again?" the old man asked Zhou Yu.

"I'm here to test my strength," Zhou Yu said.

"Oh? It's only been 200 years since the last test of strength. You've improved so quickly?" the old man said.
"However, even if you make progress, you won't be able to acquire more treasures in the short term."

"Let's try it first."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Boom!

Zhou Yu manipulated a shuttle-shaped Seven Tribulation Realm secret treasure, causing spacetime to surge like waves, and slammed it hard into the bronze pillar next to him.

puff!puff!puff!
The layers of restrictions were blasted apart, a total of ten layers were destroyed.

"The power of the Sixth Tribulation Realm?" The old man's face showed a hint of shock upon seeing this.

Two hundred years, and he went from the Fifth Tribulation Realm to the Sixth Tribulation Realm?
Even if one has cultivated in places where time flows relatively quickly, this speed is still quite exaggerated. It is quite difficult to accelerate time for a Fifth Tribulation Realm expert, so the acceleration factor is generally not very high.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't accelerate at all, so in reality, it was much more exaggerated than the old man thought.

However, generally only those at the seventh tribulation realm who have a deep understanding of the rules of time can see the true cultivation time of those at the sixth tribulation realm. This old man obviously cannot see it with the naked eye.

"Since the passing of our old master, the Cangyuan Realm is finally about to give birth to a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator." The old man looked at Zhou Yu with deep emotion and asked, "Have you undergone your tribulation?"

"Not yet." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"If you can overcome the tribulation as soon as possible and become a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator before the age of ten thousand, you can get half of the treasures left by the old master. But for now, I can only give you treasures equivalent to a million extraterrestrial crystals," the old man said.

“I understand.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"Time-Space Stone?"

Zhou Yu quickly found a suitable treasure. It was an eighth-tribulation realm material, said to be a treasure from outside the universe. Ancestor Cang Yuan had only collected three of them, and each one required 250,000 extraterrestrial yuan crystals.

"But at least it suits me, so I don't need to search anymore." Zhou Yu thought to himself with emotion, once again feeling the benefits of his hometown having produced a super strong person.

Outside of these regions, many things are expensive but unavailable.

Treasures, such as ordinary Tribulation Realm treasures and even Seventh Tribulation Realm treasures, are relatively inexpensive. Even the most expensive Seventh Tribulation Realm treasure only costs a few thousand extraterrestrial elemental crystals.

However, Eighth Tribulation Realm treasures are much more valuable, costing at least 150,000 extraterrestrial Yuan Crystals. The key issue is that they are priceless and unavailable. Many Sixth Tribulation Realm cultivators desperately desire an Eighth Tribulation Realm treasure, but they simply cannot buy one.

As a material worth up to 250,000 cubic units of extraterrestrial elemental crystals, the Time-Space Origin Stone is more expensive than most Eight Tribulation Realm treasures. It is conceivable that Zhou Yu's chances of finding it on his own are very slim.

"When I grow up, I will also refill this treasure trove." This thought flashed through Zhou Yu's mind.

He also exchanged for a Time Stone.

Less than ten years after Zhou Yu obtained the Time-Space Stone, his child in this world, "Zhou Heng," finally broke through and became a Creation Venerable.

Becoming a Creation Venerable at 210 years old is not fast, especially considering that Zhou Yu gave him a lot of help. It can only be said that he has the potential to become an Emperor, and the Tribulation Realm depends on fate.

"However, it's not bad, better than Zhou Ying." Zhou Yu thought to himself, his daughter in the Devouring Star World was only considered to have average talent.

However, in the world of Swallowed Star, it is much easier to achieve immortality, while in this world it is much more difficult.

"I've helped them all I could; whether it works out or not is up to them." Zhou Yu was quite calm about this.

Even if Zhou Heng and Bai Yaoyue die of old age, they can be resurrected in the future as long as he can reach the Eighth Tribulation Realm.

Zhou Yu wasn't entirely without confidence in reaching the Eighth Tribulation Realm. As long as he didn't accidentally cause the death of this clone, there was still hope of reaching the Eighth Tribulation Realm.

After Zhou Heng became the Venerable Creation, he also married and had children. Zhou Yu soon had grandchildren in this world.
In the 52nd year since Zhou Yu exchanged the Time-Space Stone, at Bai Yaoyue's request, Zhou Yu agreed to take her to see the outer realms. This was not difficult for Zhou Yu; he only needed to separate a primordial spirit avatar.

The Venerable One's chances of becoming an Emperor in his home world are indeed slim.

In the 69th year, the "Eastern Pavilion Star Lord," who had previously invited Zhou Yu to explore the cave of a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert, returned once again. He told Zhou Yu that they had made new discoveries after joining forces to break into the cave left behind by that Seventh Tribulation Realm expert, and he once again invited Zhou Yu to go with him, but Zhou Yu still refused.

In the 89th year, Zhou Yu perfected a physical body at the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

The main difference between Zhou Yu and ordinary Tribulation Realm cultivators is that he has plenty of time, so while waiting for the Primordial Spirit Tribulation to arrive, he also studied his physical body.

Zhou Yuneng became the Ultimate Emperor by using array formations to temper his body. He arranged the spatial mysteries he had mastered in the form of arrays within his body, causing each basic particle to automatically absorb massive amounts of energy to temper his physical body.

At this moment, Zhou Yu wanted to create a stronger physical body, still following roughly the same idea.

However, the mystery to be integrated has changed from simple spatial teleportation to "spacetime domain rules," which has greatly increased the difficulty.

However, after decades of research, Zhou Yu confirmed that his approach was entirely feasible, and he was convinced that this was a path that the Body Tribulation Realm could continue to take.

Zhou Yu also quickly created the physical body manual "Time-Space Source Body"!
Different sixth-tribulation realm physical bodies each have their own characteristics; some have strong defense, some are difficult to kill, some are fast, and some are strong.

The most distinctive feature of Zhou Yu's "Space-Time Source Body" is its ability to contain a large amount of power. He estimates that if he were to fully perfect his physical body based on the "Space-Time Source Body," its maximum height would reach about one billion miles, which is considered very large among the physical bodies of the Six Tribulation Realm.

Of course, Zhou Yu has not yet fully perfected his physical body. For him, it is better to first overcome the tribulation of the primordial spirit before considering whether to overcome the tribulation of the physical body.

This is the advantage of the physical body tribulation realm; one can completely decide the time to undergo tribulation.

...

In the 101st year, Zhou Yu's primordial spirit tribulation arrived as scheduled.

The sixth tribulation of the primordial spirit is more direct than that of the fifth tribulation. In his primordial spirit world, black primordial spirit winds were directly generated.

These primordial spirit winds were extremely strange and irresistible, directly targeting the essence of the primordial spirit. They were like knives that could easily slice through the primordial spirit world. Zhou Yu's primordial spirit world was large enough, but this became a disadvantage, as it was directly torn to pieces by the black whirlwind.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu had a strong enough will and was well prepared, so he eventually survived this ordeal.

Because of his incredibly fast thinking speed, Zhou Yu even gained some insight into the essence of those black primordial spirit winds while fighting against them.

With this, Zhou Yu created a mysterious technique called "Destroying God Wind".

“This ‘Destroying God Wind’ can be a powerful killing move if used well.” Zhou Yu was very satisfied with the primordial secret technique he had created.

After all, it was comprehended during the fight against the Primordial Spirit Tribulation, so the "Destroying God Wind" is indeed terrifying enough. Even those at the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation must be cautious when facing it. Although those at the sixth level of the Physical Body Tribulation have a strong enough physical body to protect their Primordial Spirit, they can still be seriously injured if they are not careful.

Having survived the tribulation of his primordial spirit, Zhou Yu once again arrived at the depths of the Heaven and Earth Palace.

"It seems you have survived the tribulation of the primordial spirit." The old man formed from white mist looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"Correct."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Wait a moment, let me confirm your age." The old man took out a bronze mirror.

Last time he only guessed that Zhou Yu was young, but this time he had to confirm it carefully.

After all, this is related to whether Zhou Yu can obtain half of the treasure of Ancestor Cangyuan.

“Generally, those under ten thousand years old who reach the Sixth Tribulation Realm have a chance to break through to the Seventh Tribulation Realm. The younger they are, the greater their potential.” As the old man spoke, the bronze mirror in his hand shone on Zhou Yu.

For a moment, the old man was stunned. "851 years old?"

He held the bronze mirror and looked at himself several more times, but the results were always the same.

"You're only 851 years old?" the old man asked, looking at Zhou Yu.

“This is indeed my real age,” Zhou Yu nodded.

"Incredible." Even though he was just the spirit of the Heavenly Palace, the old man was amazed, because according to the information he knew about the River of Time, he had never heard of such a young sixth tribulation realm cultivator.

"In the old master's time, the youngest Sixth Tribulation Realm cultivator seemed to be over two thousand years old," the old man said.

Zhou Yu remained silent upon hearing this. This era should be the same; even the youngest Six Tribulation Realm cultivator only reached the Six Tribulation Realm when they were over two thousand years old, nearly three thousand years old.

"I only acquired 'super thinking' when I was 500 years old. If I had this talent from the beginning, I would have reached the sixth tribulation realm much faster. In fact, if I hadn't buried myself in hard work but instead traveled around to acquire resources and see all sorts of strange sights, I would have reached it even faster," Zhou Yu sighed inwardly.

That's why people say this talent is like having a cheat code in this world.

"If the cultivators of your generation at the Seven Tribulation Realm were to learn of your age of cultivation, it would likely cause a great deal of contention. I wonder if that would be a blessing or a curse," the old man remarked.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything more after hearing this.

The gap between Tribulation Realm cultivators is indeed ridiculously large. As a sixth-tribulation cultivator, his true cultivation age would most likely be discovered if he met any seventh-tribulation cultivator.

Even if he deliberately avoids the Seventh Tribulation Realm, he might still be discovered by a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert. While a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert may not be able to explore the entire universe, their control over the scope is extremely wide, far exceeding that of a River Domain. Perhaps some idle Seventh Tribulation Realm expert will discover him.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Zhou Yu didn't think much of it. With the protection of the World of Life, he was practically immortal below the Eighth Tribulation Realm, so there was nothing to fear.

“You have great potential. Besides the half of the treasures left by the old master, you should also know the biggest secret left by the old master. Come with me.” The old man quickly added.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu knew what the old man was referring to.

The Eternal Treasure.

Without a doubt, this was the greatest achievement of Master Cangyuan's life.

The gap between the treasures is widening.

For example, treasures of the Seventh Tribulation Realm are usually possessed by most people in the Fifth Tribulation Realm, while treasures of the Eighth Tribulation Realm are generally only found in the Seventh Tribulation Realm, and only a few in the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

One can imagine that the Eternal Treasure is something even those at the Eighth Tribulation Realm would covet.

"Most people at the Seventh Tribulation Realm never see such a treasure in their entire lives, yet I am able to witness it." Zhou Yu felt a sense of anticipation.

He followed the old man deeper into the Heaven and Earth Palace, passing through layers of protective measures, and finally arrived at a dark place.

This is an isolated space, dark and directionless, with only a large seal floating there. The surrounding void is constantly being annihilated, but fortunately, there is an array that suppresses it, limiting its power to within ten zhang.

Besides this large seal, there was also a lake of blood around it, the blood surging and emitting an extremely strong aura.

However, it cannot compare to that great seal, so the owner of the blood should only be at the eighth tribulation realm.

"This treasure was discovered by chance by my old master, who immediately took it back to his hometown and never dared to tell anyone," the old man said with emotion.

"Fortunately, this seal is inherently beyond space and time, so even if those at the Eighth Tribulation Realm seek space and time, they cannot find it."

“It is indeed extraordinary.” Zhou Yu nodded.

"Its power is immense. The old master was able to unleash the strength of a half-step Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivator thanks to it. However, controlling it is difficult; at least a Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivator who has mastered one of the fundamental rules is needed to wield it," the old man said.
"Of course, you can try it too."

"I'd like to see it too."

Zhou Yu nodded, and with a thought, his primordial spirit world appeared.

In the center of the 3.3 billion-mile-long primordial spirit world is a majestic divine sword, a world treasure crafted by Zhou Yu. This world treasure suppresses the world, making the primordial spirit world more stable.

At this moment, under the shroud of the primordial spirit world, Zhou Yu's power also permeated into the great seal.

In a moment——

boom!
A towering, bald figure appeared before Zhou Yu. The figure held a large seal and unleashed a devastating attack with an unimaginable destructive range.

"This is eternal existence; it's truly terrifying," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly noticed that the bald, towering figure turned his head to look at him, and a smile had appeared on his face.

With a flick of his finger, the bald, imposing figure sent a beam of golden light from a distant time and space into Zhou Yu's body. Zhou Yu instantly felt a surge of new information within him.

The secret manual, "Eternal Time and Space".
The secret technique, "Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit".
Secret Techniques, the Complete Treatise of Flesh and Blood.
One secret manual, two secret techniques.

Zhou Yu was in a daze for a moment, and he memorized everything, but he could only memorize it and could not write it down. Only when he had almost figured it out himself could he hope to replicate it in reality.

However, Zhou Yu had no time to think too much at the moment, as what had just happened was completely beyond his expectations.

"That eternal being not only noticed me, a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator, but also imparted three great techniques to me?" Zhou Yu was astonished.

Generally, those at the eighth tribulation realm wouldn't care about those at the sixth tribulation realm.

Eternal existence, in theory, is something that almost all those at the Seventh Tribulation Realm will never witness in their lifetime.

"It's possible that in that instant, that eternal being noticed my cultivation age, but that alone is probably not enough. After all, my age is only outrageous in this era; it might not be so in the endless river of time, let alone in other universes..."

"The most likely explanation is that he has high hopes for my future?" Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Let alone eternal existence, even those at the Seventh Tribulation Realm can, to some extent, foresee the future.

As long as one has sufficient understanding of the "future rule," a branch of the time rules, it is not too difficult to foresee the future of a sixth-level tribulation realm cultivator.

However, the future is unknown and constantly changing; what we see is not always the truth.

"All I can say is that the eternal being is optimistic about my future."

Zhou Yu understood that the other party could see the changes in him in this world, but could not see the changes in him in other worlds.

Unfortunately, his influence in other worlds is significant. For example, if he succeeds in simulating the world again and gains some kind of extraordinary talent, his future will change instantly.

Even in this world, he is already incredibly talented, and in the possible future, he might even be favored by the eternal beings.

"Of course, relying solely on talent is a bit too far-fetched; there could be other reasons as well." Zhou Yu didn't think much of it.

Even though he is favored by Eternity, he is still only at the Sixth Tribulation Realm, and he still has to take things one step at a time.

The transmission of the eternal Dharma happened in an instant, and the spirit of the Great Hall of Heaven and Earth was completely unaware of it.

Zhou Yu did not reveal his thoughts on what had just happened. After sensing the rules within the great seal, he left with the old man.

Now that he has been informed of the existence of this great seal, he can come at any time in the future.

"Senior, could you please check my age again?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Check your age?" The old man was a little puzzled, but he still took out the bronze mirror he had brought earlier and checked it, just as Zhou Yu had asked.

"Huh?" The old man was stunned.

"What did you do? Why can't I check your age?" the old man asked hurriedly.

"I had some special insights." Zhou Yu smiled but didn't say more.

In fact, he realized that something had changed about him; the golden light he received was not simply the three methods.

Sure enough, when the old man asked to check his age again, the other party was no longer able to do so.

"The bronze mirror is a technique of Ancestor Cangyuan, which is a technique of the Seventh Tribulation Realm. If the Seventh Tribulation Realm cannot see it, the Eighth Tribulation Realm probably cannot either," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Perhaps those at the Eight Tribulation Realm can sense that this is a method of the Eternal Being, but this is a good thing. As long as those at the Eight Tribulation Realm know that he is under the Eternal Being's attention, they will be even less likely to act rashly.

...

Zhou Yu quickly left the Heaven and Earth Hall.

He couldn't wait to begin studying the secret manuals and techniques in his mind.

Zhou Yu frowned as soon as he tried to comprehend "Eternal Spacetime." It was obscure and profound, and even with his talent, he felt completely lost when trying to understand it.

Zhou Yu quickly realized that it must be because his foundation was insufficient.

"One must first have a sufficient understanding of the rules of space and time before one can truly study this 'Eternal Spacetime'," Zhou Yu understood.

He only grasped one rule of the Sixth Tribulation Realm, which, although purely of the space-time type, was still too superficial.

Fortunately, he could understand the other two secret techniques.

"Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit" is a method for condensing and constructing the primordial spirit, which is many times more advanced than "Primordial Spirit Stars".

"The General Outline of Flesh and Blood" explains the method of physical structure and is an in-depth analysis of flesh and blood. Zhou Yu understood it after a little study and could absorb its various mysteries and integrate them into his "Space-Time Source Body".

"With a little more in-depth research, it could probably increase the power of my 'Space-Time Source Body' several times over," Zhou Yu exclaimed.

If it were uncertain whether he could have overcome the physical tribulation with the original version of "Time-Space Source Body", then with his physical body strengthened several times over, he would definitely be able to overcome it.

"As expected of a secret manual passed down by an eternal being, it's terrifying," Zhou Yu exclaimed.
