Chapter 29

It seems no one will come to rescue this Bloodhand True Immortal in the short term. Zhou Yu quickly understood that.

He indeed had the idea of fishing, but also knew he couldn't drag it on too long.

The Unceasing Gate also wasn't lacking true experts; if he delayed longer, waiting for the Unceasing Gate to gather manpower, it would be hard for him to kill the Bloodhand True Immortal.

Thus, Zhou Yu held back no more.

The fourth-layer spatial power erupted fully, two huge palms coalesced in the void, clamping the Bloodhand True Immortal in between.

Boom—

With a low muffled bang, the Bloodhand True Immortal was already annihilated into nothingness.

"This move earned me a lot, but unfortunately the energy required for later simulations keeps increasing."

Zhou Yu stood there, quietly absorbing the primordial power brought by slaying thirty-six top heavenly immortals plus one true immortal.

And at this moment—

Splash!

Space was torn open, and immediately a dignified figure in a black robe appeared here—it was the Summer Emperor.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." The Summer Emperor then gave a polite greeting.

Given Zhou Yu's displayed strength, he deserved such treatment.

He relied on his connections and various external forces to have a respectable standing among Heavenly God True Immortals, whereas a Heavenly God True Immortal who wielded fourth-layer power relying solely on his own strength would absolutely be a top-tier existence.

Of course, Zhou Yu was not yet a Heavenly God True Immortal, but in the Summer Emperor's view, Zhou Yu's reincarnation should not be difficult; as long as he revealed his identity, many great beings would be willing to help.

With a great being helping his reincarnation, there would be no danger at all.

"Fellow Daoist Xia Mang, you're too polite."

Zhou Yu knew the Summer Emperor already regarded him as the reincarnation of some being, he didn't argue, but instead directly addressed him as a fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist, killing this Bloodhand True Immortal also helped me greatly; his Blood Cloud Tower has been stirring up trouble in my Great Summer World for years." The Summer Emperor said:

"If you don't mind, why not come to my Heaven Mang Hall for a chat?"

"Maybe later; the ones coming to fetch me are arriving soon." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing that, the Summer Emperor understood.

Indeed, it would already be absurd for such a strong one to have no one guiding him beforehand, but it could also be explained by some accident occurring.

Now that his memories have awakened, if no one comes to fetch him, that would be absurd.

Soon, in the not-so-distant void, with a fluctuation, a plain-clothed True Immortal appeared there.

Looking at the newcomer, the Summer Emperor immediately felt doubtful; there are only so many Heavenly God True Immortals in the Three Realms, it's fine if he doesn't recognize Zhou Yu's reincarnation, but why did another rather unfamiliar True Immortal appear?

"I've seen this fellow Daoist, may I ask how you wish to be addressed?" The Summer Emperor greeted him while asking.

"You can call me You Cang." The person spoke calmly.

"You Cang?"

The Summer Emperor's face instantly showed a hint of surprise.

The newcomer was naturally Zhou Yu's second primordial spirit, who had become a True God not long ago in the simulation; because he hadn't comprehended the Celestial Dao, his second primordial spirit could only be a True Immortal.

Since the simulation succeeded, the Three Realms have seen this True God called "You Cang Dayfish".

In that era, few had dao names; many strong ones walked the world using their surnames or given names.

After all, he is a True God, so the surname You Cang is quite renowned; at least among Heavenly God True Immortals, nobody is unaware of this surname, and in the vast Three Realms, only one person can directly use this surname as a name.

"Xia Mang Yun greets his senior." Xia Mang hurriedly performed a salute.

He didn't think a True Immortal would dare impersonate that True God, and strictly speaking, that True God also belongs to the human race's great beings.

Human Dao Ancestors are relatively more numerous, while True Gods are fewer—only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and a few others.

"No need for much courtesy." True Immortal Zhou Yu said: "You may go back for now; once I settle things here, I will soon leave the Great Summer World."

"Junior takes his leave."

The Summer Emperor said no more, he cupped his hands toward Zhou Yu's true self to one side, then directly left East Sea Commandery.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's true self and True Immortal Zhou Yu stood there; after exchanging a glance, Zhou Yu's true self bowed and said: "Greetings, Master."

"No need for much courtesy; whatever unresolved matters you have, go settle them quickly, then come back with me." True Immortal Zhou Yu smiled.

"At present, the only thing in the Great Summer World that concerns me is the Zhou Clan Tribe; please lend me some treasures, Master, I wish to set up a formation."

"That's trivial!"

True Immortal Zhou Yu smiled, then waved his hand to take out several Pure Yang Dharma Treasures and handed them to Zhou Yu's true self.

After receiving them, Zhou Yu returned to the Zhou Clan Tribe to begin setting up the formation.

At this moment, Zhou Yu hovered above the Zhou Clan Tribe, setting up the Grand Formation while pondering.

He disguised his avatar as a master-disciple relationship, which is a relatively safe approach; future travel in the Three Realms would also be more convenient, otherwise some things now would be inexplicable, which would also be troublesome for him.

"Moreover, I am no longer a small fry in the Three Realms; whether it's the Lord of Heart Demons or Old Man Yuan, they might pay attention to me." Zhou Yu understood this in his heart.

The Lord of Heart Demons was once the leader of the Unceasing Gate; his body is fused with the Celestial Dao, and within the Three Realms many things cannot escape his eyes—even Zhou Yu is not sure whether the Lord of Heart Demons is currently watching here.

Old Man Yuan, a very terrifying foreign race, has enslaved countless True Gods and Dao Ancestors; his spy network likewise spreads throughout the Three Realms, and if one is not careful, it is also easy for Old Man Yuan to discover the problem.

Facing these two, naturally every step must be taken with utmost caution.

Not long after, Zhou Yu had already set up a super grand formation, using his formation Dao insights plus several pure-yang treasures as the foundation; this formation can resist any enemy of the Heavenly Immortal level.

Even an attack that reaches the threshold of a True God True Immortal can be blocked for a while; with this formation's protection, he can leave with peace of mind.

After again summoning the clansmen to instruct them on some matters, Zhou Yu's true self flew out from the Zhou clan tribe; at the same time, his second primordial spirit, which had remained inside the Heibai Xuegong, also appeared here.

This time, when leaving, the second primordial spirit also needed to go along; after Zhou Yu made some arrangements in the Heibai Xuegong, he directly had the second primordial spirit rush over.

"Let's go."

True Immortal Zhou Yu waved his hand, putting away his true self and second primordial spirit, then immediately tore open space and left the Great Summer World.

"He's just leaving like that?"

In the Tianmang Hall, the Xia Emperor sensed something and looked toward Donghai Commandery; his heart was filled with emotion, never expecting that his Great Summer World would suddenly give rise to such a powerful reincarnated expert.

The Great Tribulation is approaching, fortune fluctuates; truly anything could happen.

"Prince Qi, pay more attention to the Zhou tribe and Heibai Xuegong," the Xia Emperor instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Prince Qi below immediately nodded; he had witnessed everything, and now naturally understood the importance.

Although that reincarnated expert has left, he may yet return in the future; if his clan or sect encounters trouble, the Xia Emperor would likely find it hard to save face.

Conversely, if he could take good care of those two places, that would also be a way to befriend that expert.

On the other side—

True Immortal Zhou Yu was traveling through the void of the Three Realms, but he did not rush back to his lair; instead, he first made a trip to the Dongxuan Great World located in the Zhuanzhou Realm.

Swish!

In a soundless instant, Zhou Yu tore through space and arrived in this great world.

At this time, the Dongxuan Great World was even more chaotic than the Great Summer World, with many forces of the Nether Gate having invaded here.

However, Zhou Yu's arrival was not to cause trouble for the Nether Gate; he used fourth-level mental power to probe, quickly locating a celestial immortal hiding in his lair, wearing blood-red robes.

"Found him."

Zhou Yu directly teleported and appeared before that celestial immortal.

You are.

The figure in blood-red robes was startled, but before he could react, terrifying mental power forcefully invaded his soul.

"Not good."

The figure immediately sensed something wrong, but the invading power was too strong; unknowingly, he lost his ability to resist.

"Greetings, Master."

The figure then bowed in salute.

This person is called the "Blood Demon Celestial Immortal," and he also has another identity as the founding ancestor of the Shaoyan clan in the Great Summer World, "Shaoyan Chou."

The Blood Demon Celestial Immortal is a disguise assumed by Shaoyan Chou, also a means he uses to preserve his life.

Zhou Yu had known this information beforehand, so he easily found Shaoyan Chou now; upon seeing Shaoyan Chou this time, he again applied mental soul control, which was naturally completely different from before.

Not only is this incarnation of Zhou Yu a True Immortal, but his mental power has reached the fourth level; dealing with Shaoyan Chou is as easy as catching something in hand, utterly effortless.

"Shaoyan Chou, summon all your incarnations here," Zhou Yu commanded.

"Yes."

Shaoyan Chou felt nothing amiss; soon, each of his incarnations gathered here via the Great Translocation Dao talisman.

Seventeen in total.

Obviously, his eighteenth incarnation, which had died earlier, has not yet been cultivated.

"Is the treasure that aids you in cultivating incarnations on your person?" Zhou Yu asked.

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

Upon hearing that, Zhou Yu nodded, and the next moment he thrust out a palm, instantly annihilating all seventeen of Shaoyan Chou's incarnations into nothingness.

He waved his hand to collect the treasure, and Zhou Yu also vanished directly from the spot.

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

At the same time—

In a dark, mysterious space.

The Celestial Immortal Sky Fox and the Celestial Immortal Seven Flames arrived here; above, there is a huge throne, on which a figure clad in black robes sits calmly.

The Nether Gate is a huge organization; like the Sky Fox Celestial Immortal, although she is called the sect master of the Nether Gate, there are actually over a thousand such sect masters.

This black-robed figure is the true ruler of the Nether Gate.

"Greetings, God King." Both performed the salute.

"I am already aware of the matter concerning Blood Hand," the Black Robe God King said calmly.

"That immortal Qian Yu has already been taken away; I will send someone to replace Blood Hand, you just continue with your own affairs."

"God King, may I ask what the background of that immortal Qian Yu is?" the Sky Fox Celestial Immortal could not help but ask, she was truly curious.

"The one who took him away is the second primordial spirit of the human True God 'You Cang'; as for his identity," the Black Robe God King tapped his finger on the chair, not saying more.

In fact, he also failed to discover Zhou Yu's true identity; the Black Robe God King also found it strange—over endless ages, the presence of True God Zhou Yu has been very low, and he wanders alone, without even a celestial immortal under his command, let alone a divine true immortal.

Suddenly, an existence mastering fourth-level spatial power appeared, which is indeed quite strange.

"Perhaps I can ask my master later," the Black Robe God King thought; his master's body merges with the Celestial Dao, and few things in the Three Realms can be hidden from him.

"This matter ends here; you may go," the Black Robe God King said lightly.

He didn't take it to heart; True God Zhou Yu is indeed nothing special—just an ordinary True God, and despite cultivating for over ten trillion years he still hasn't comprehended the Celestial Dao; his aptitude is visibly low, and it's unclear how he became a True God in the first place.

That is, the two sides are still in mutual restraint and will not easily erupt into a conflict at the level of True God and Dao Ancestor; otherwise, this matter would certainly not be let go so lightly.

However, not doing anything now does not mean nothing will be done later.

Although Blood Hand True Immortal is merely an inconspicuous subordinate of the Black Robe God King, it does not mean his subordinates can be killed at will.

This debt will surely be repaid sooner or later!
