True Immortal Zhou Yu

"It seemed no one would be coming to save True Immortal Blood Hand anytime soon." Zhou Yu quickly understood this.

He had indeed intended to fish for more, but he also knew he could not drag things out for too long.

The Seamless Gate was not devoid of true experts. If he delayed any longer and the Seamless Gate gathered its forces, killing True Immortal Blood Hand would become difficult.

Thus, Zhou Yu stopped holding back.

The fourth level of the Power of Space erupted at full force. Two enormous palms condensed in the void, trapping True Immortal Blood Hand between them.

Boom!

With a dull, muffled blast, True Immortal Blood Hand was annihilated into nothingness.

"This haul was quite profitable, but unfortunately, simulations require more and more energy as they progress."

Zhou Yu stood there, quietly absorbing the source power brought by the deaths of thirty-six Top-Tier Celestial Immortals and one True Immortal.

At this moment—

Whoosh!

Space tore apart, and a majestic figure clad in a black robe appeared. It was none other than the Xia Emperor.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." The Xia Emperor was exceedingly polite.

Given the strength Zhou Yu had displayed, he deserved such treatment.

The Xia Emperor had attained a considerable position among Empyrean Gods and True Immortals through his connections and numerous external aids. Meanwhile, an Empyrean God or True Immortal who had mastered fourth-level power was absolutely among the very strongest based on personal strength alone.

Of course, Zhou Yu was not yet an Empyrean God or True Immortal. But in the Xia Emperor's view, reincarnation should not be difficult for Zhou Yu. As long as he revealed his identity, many major powers would surely be willing to help.

With the aid of a major power, reincarnation carried no danger at all.

"Fellow Daoist Xia Mang, you are too polite."

Zhou Yu knew that the Xia Emperor had already mistaken him for the reincarnation of some great existence. He did not argue and instead addressed him as a fellow Daoist.

"By killing True Immortal Blood Hand, Fellow Daoist has also done me a great favor. The Blood Cloud Tower under his control has caused no small amount of turmoil in my Great Xia World over the years," the Xia Emperor said.

"If Fellow Daoist does not mind, why not come to my Tianmang Palace for a chat?"

"Perhaps another time. The ones coming to receive me will arrive soon," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Xia Emperor understood.

Indeed, it had already been strange enough that no one had come to guide such a powerful expert before. Still, that could be explained by some accident.

But now that he had awakened his memories, it would be absurd if no one came to receive him.

Before long, a ripple appeared in the distant void, and a plainly dressed True Immortal emerged.

The Xia Emperor looked at the newcomer, and doubt immediately arose in his heart. There were only so many Empyrean Gods and True Immortals in the Three Realms. It was understandable that he could not recognize Zhou Yu's reincarnation, but why had another unfamiliar True Immortal appeared?

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask how I should address you?" the Xia Emperor asked as he greeted him.

"You may call me Cang You," the newcomer said calmly.

"Cang You?"

A trace of shock immediately appeared on the Xia Emperor's face.

The newcomer was naturally Zhou Yu's Second Primal Spirit, which had become a True God in a simulation not long ago. Because he had not comprehended the Heavenly Dao, his Second Primal Spirit could only be a True Immortal.

Ever since the simulation succeeded, the Three Realms had gained the True God known as "You Cang Zhou Yu."

In that era, only a minority used Dao titles. Many powerful experts traveled the world under their family names or true names.

As a True God, the surname "Cang You" was exceptionally resounding. At the very least, no one among Empyrean Gods and True Immortals was unfamiliar with it. In the vast Three Realms, there was only one person who could directly use that surname as his name.

"Xia Mang Xun greets Senior." Xia Mang hurriedly bowed.

He did not believe any True Immortal would dare impersonate that True God. Moreover, strictly speaking, this True God was also a great human expert.

The human race had relatively more Dao Ancestors, but far fewer True Gods. There were only the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, Hou Yi, Kuafu, and a few others.

"No need for such courtesy," True Immortal Zhou Yu said. "You may return for now. Once I have arranged matters here, I will soon leave the Great Xia World."

"This junior takes his leave."

The Xia Emperor said nothing more. After cupping his hands toward Zhou Yu's true body, he immediately departed Donghai Commandery.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's true body and True Immortal Zhou Yu stood there. After exchanging a glance, Zhou Yu's true body bowed. "Greetings, Master."

"No need for ceremony. If you have any remaining concerns, deal with them quickly, then return with me," True Immortal Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"At present, the only thing in the Great Xia World I still worry about is the Zhou Clan Tribe. Master, please lend me some treasures. I wish to set up an array."

"That is a trivial matter!"

True Immortal Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand, producing several Pure Yang Magic Treasures and handing them to Zhou Yu's true body.

After accepting them, Zhou Yu returned to the Zhou Clan Tribe and began setting up the array.

At this time, Zhou Yu was in the skies above the Zhou Clan Tribe. As he laid out the grand array, he pondered to himself.

Having himself and his avatar pose as master and disciple was a relatively safe approach. It would also make it easier for him to travel the Three Realms in the future. Otherwise, some matters would be impossible to explain, which would cause him trouble as well.

"Besides, I am no longer some insignificant nobody in the Three Realms. Either the Lord of Heart Demons or Elder Yuan may take notice of me," Zhou Yu thought.

The Lord of Heart Demons had once been the leader of the Seamless Gate. He had merged with the Heavenly Dao, and many matters within the Three Realms could not escape his eyes. Zhou Yu was not even sure whether the Lord of Heart Demons was watching this place right now.

Elder Yuan was a terrifying alien who had enslaved an unknown number of True Gods and Dao Ancestors. His informants likewise spread throughout the Three Realms. If Zhou Yu was not sufficiently cautious, Elder Yuan could easily discover something amiss.

When facing those two, every step naturally had to be taken with the utmost care.

Before long, Zhou Yu had set up a super grand array. With his comprehension of the Array Dao and several Pure Yang Magic Treasures serving as the array foundations, it could withstand any enemy at the Celestial Immortal level.

Even attacks at the threshold of Empyrean Gods and True Immortals could be blocked for a while. With this grand array protecting them, he could leave without worry.

After gathering his clansmen and giving them some instructions, Zhou Yu's true body flew out of the Zhou Clan Tribe. At the same time, the Second Primal Spirit he had kept within Black-White Academy also appeared here.

This time, the Second Primal Spirit would leave with him as well. After making some arrangements at Black-White Academy, Zhou Yu had directly summoned his Second Primal Spirit over.

"Let us go."

True Immortal Zhou Yu waved his hand and stored his true body and Second Primal Spirit away, then tore through space and departed the Great Xia World.

"He left just like that?"

Within Tianmang Palace, the Xia Emperor seemed to sense something and looked toward Donghai Commandery. He felt deeply moved. He had never imagined that such a powerful reincarnated expert would suddenly emerge from his Great Xia World.

The great tribulation was approaching, Destiny Aura was shifting, and truly anything could happen.

"Prince Qi, keep a close watch on the Zhou Clan Tribe and Black-White Academy," the Xia Emperor instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Prince Qi immediately nodded below. He had witnessed everything from beginning to end and naturally understood the importance of the matter.

That reincarnated expert had left, but he might not necessarily stay away forever. If something happened to his clan or sect, the Xia Emperor would likely be unable to save face.

Conversely, if they could take good care of those two places, they might be able to befriend that powerful expert.

Elsewhere—

True Immortal Zhou Yu traveled through the void of the Three Realms. He did not hurry back to his base, instead first making a trip to Dongxuan World within the Zhuanxu Domain.

Whoosh!

Without a sound, Zhou Yu tore through space and arrived in this great world.

Dongxuan World was even more chaotic than the Great Xia World at this time. Much of the Seamless Gate's power had infiltrated this place.

However, Zhou Yu had not come to cause trouble for the Seamless Gate. Using fourth-level Heart Force to investigate, he quickly locked onto a Celestial Immortal in blood-colored robes hiding in his base.

"Found him."

Zhou Yu directly traversed space and descended before that Celestial Immortal.

"You are..."

The blood-robed figure was startled, but before he could react, terrifying Heart Force forcibly invaded his soul.

"Not good."

The figure immediately sensed that something was wrong, but the invading power was too strong. Before he knew it, he had lost all ability to resist.

"Greetings, Master."

The figure bowed respectfully.

This person was called Blood Demon Celestial, and he had another identity: Shaoyan Chou, ancestor of the Shaoyan Clan in the Great Xia World.

Blood Demon Celestial was the identity Shaoyan Chou had disguised himself as, as well as a means of preserving his life.

Zhou Yu had learned this information in advance, which was why he had easily found Shaoyan Chou. And after meeting him this time, Zhou Yu once again used Mind Power Soul Control on him. Naturally, this was entirely different from last time.

Not only was this avatar of Zhou Yu a True Immortal, his Heart Force had also reached the fourth level. Dealing with Shaoyan Chou was effortless.

"Shaoyan Chou, call all your avatars here," Zhou Yu ordered.

"Yes."

Shaoyan Chou did not feel that anything was amiss. Before long, each of his avatars gathered here through Great Teleportation Talismans.

There were seventeen in total.

Clearly, the eighteenth avatar that had died earlier had not yet been cultivated again.

"Is the treasure that helped you cultivate avatars on you?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Master, it is with me," one of Shaoyan Chou's avatars immediately replied.

Zhou Yu nodded. The next moment, he fiercely struck out with his palm, directly annihilating all seventeen of Shaoyan Chou's avatars into nothingness.

After waving his hand to collect the treasures, Zhou Yu also vanished from the spot.

For the current Zhou Yu, killing Shaoyan Chou was indeed not worth mentioning.

At the same time—

Within a dark, mysterious space.

True Immortal Sky Fox and True Immortal Seven Flames arrived there. Above them stood an enormous throne, upon which a black-robed figure sat calmly.

The Seamless Gate was an enormous organization. Although True Immortal Sky Fox was known as a sect master of the Seamless Gate, there were more than a thousand sect masters like her.

This black-robed figure was the true ruler of the Seamless Gate.

"Greetings, God King," the two said as they bowed.

"I am already aware of Blood Hand's matter," the Black-Robed God King said faintly.

"That Immortal Ganyu has already been taken away. I will send someone to replace Blood Hand. You need only continue with your own tasks."

"God King, may I ask about Immortal Ganyu's origins?" True Immortal Sky Fox could not help asking. She was genuinely curious.

"The one who took him away was the Second Primal Spirit of the human True God, You Cang. As for his identity..." The Black-Robed God King tapped his finger against the armrest and said no more.

In truth, he had not uncovered Zhou Yu's real identity either. The Black-Robed God King also found it strange. Throughout endless years, True God Zhou Yu had maintained an extremely low profile and traveled alone. Not to mention Empyrean Gods or True Immortals, he did not even have a single Celestial Immortal under his command.

The sudden appearance of someone who had mastered fourth-level Power of Space was indeed quite peculiar.

"Perhaps I can ask Master later," the Black-Robed God King thought. His master had merged with the Heavenly Dao, and few matters in the Three Realms could escape him.

"This matter ends here. You may leave," the Black-Robed God King said indifferently.

He did not take it too seriously. True God Zhou Yu was nothing remarkable, merely an ordinary True God. He had cultivated for more than ten trillion years without comprehending the Heavenly Dao, making his poor talent obvious. No one knew how he had become a True God in the first place.

The two sides were still exercising restraint and would not easily ignite a conflict at the level of True Gods and Dao Ancestors. Otherwise, this matter would never have ended so simply.

However, doing nothing now did not mean they would do nothing later.

Although True Immortal Blood Hand was merely an inconsequential subordinate of the Black-Robed God King, that did not mean anyone could kill his subordinates at will.

Sooner or later, this debt would be collected!
