The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 130 Enlightenment

The dilapidated Temple of the Gods seems to be silently telling of its former glory.

Broken bones can be seen everywhere. He must have been a giant in the divine realm who was famous in the area when he was alive.

The more Chen Ping understood the power of the Nine Ancient Wizards, the more he found it difficult to imagine what kind of existence could have killed the Emperor of Truth in his own home turf. The Ancestor of Time and Space? Or the Ancestor of the Underworld?
As the beginning and the end of the world, do they really have the ability to kill the Emperor of Truth?
Ten epochs ago, several witch ancestors summoned by the Great Venerable fought against the Human Ancestor and the Underworld Ancestor across the long river of time and were still able to severely injure them. Could it be that the Emperor of Truth was attacked by the power of the future on the long river of time at that time and fell?
However, the power in the Temple of the Gods, which originated from the two great ways of creation and destruction, has already approached the level of perfection. If the Ancestor of Man and the Ancestor of the Underworld had already cultivated the two great ways of creation to this level, how could the Great Venerable have severely damaged them? After all, the Nine Wizards are not cultivators of this era, and the power they can send to the future is at most 20% to 30% of their own strength.

Part of the flesh and blood of the Emperor of Truth was cut off by the ancestor of mankind and left in the realm of gods to cultivate a new spirit. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to reach the realm of the ancestor in the future.

But it was only the loss of some flesh and blood. For an ancestor, a witch ancestor at the level of the Beginning and Ending of Heaven, it was at most a serious injury, not the end of his life. As for the backlash of the power of time...

From what Chen Ping saw in the Temple of Conferred Gods, it seemed more likely that the Emperor of Truth died in battle in his own time and space, rather than from the backlash of the power of time.

He couldn't help but think of the severed finger he saw in the secret realm of the Santuo River outside the Star of Life and Death when he transformed into Chaos.

The severed finger had an extraordinary origin. It actually came from an ancient ancestor. After confirmation by the Great Venerable, the severed finger was most likely from the ancient ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, Emperor Xuanyuan Xuan.

Emperor Xuan is one of the Nine Wizards. He has extremely high attainments in the way of time and is also a strong man at the level of Tianshijizhong. The strong man who can cut off a finger of his is at least at the same level.

In the ancient times, what kind of great battle between ancestors took place that caused the Nine Wizards to either die or disappear, leaving only Queen Nuwa to flee to the Virgo Supergalactic Sea and Bai Yuan to become an immortal.

Without the presence of the skeleton of the Great Emperor of Truth, the Temple of the Gods had long lost its magic, leaving only an empty hall and a mess of ruins.

Chen Ping took out the Hong Ding and mobilized the power of the Emperor of Truth inside the Ding. The Dao Tree gradually revived, and the Hong Ding also revived with it.

The nine phases were perfectly unified, and the path of truth that reached the ultimate realm was activated. The remaining divine patterns of the ancestors in the entire Temple of the Gods gradually lit up.

Within the Mountain of Gods, there were secret realms, divine and holy veins, and vast power began to converge towards the Temple of the Gods on the top of the mountain.

The mystery of the ancient past can only be slowly revealed later, and the most urgent thing is to improve your cultivation.

After the birth of the Seed of Heaven's Way, Chen Ping had not had the time to calm down and seriously comprehend it. Now that he has obtained the Demon Niche and the help of the Way of Time, he finally has enough time to start his retreat.

The demon shrine flew out from his divine world and landed on the ground, three feet high.

The soul of Tellurium inside has completely merged with the demon shrine and become the spirit of the weapon. After being subdued by Chaos, Chen Ping is no longer worried about exposing his identity in front of Tellurium.

Tellurium doesn't say much. The stronger and more unfathomable the person he follows is, the better it is for him. Asking too many questions about things that have nothing to do with him is not something a smart person should do.

With the influx of divine power from heaven and earth, the demon shrine gradually revived, and the power of time enveloped the entire Temple of the Gods.

Time is one of the nine eternal paths, and it has a special status in the eternal universe. Among the nine fundamental paths that constitute the Wuji Heavenly Dao, there is the Dao of Time.

Throughout the ages, the ones with the highest achievements in the way of time in this world are none other than the Ancestor of Time and Space and his disciple Hei Qi.

Hei Qi refined the Zhou Ding among the Nine Dings, while Ren Zu refined the sundial.

In terms of refining techniques and the refiner's cultivation level, Hei Qi may not be able to surpass Ren Zu, but the Zhou Ding can far surpass the sundial and become the well-deserved first time artifact in the universe.

No one knows who refined the Demonic Shrine or in which era it was created, but the person who refined this divine artifact also had extremely high attainments in the Way of Time, not inferior to Hei Qi and Ren Zu, and both of them cultivated the Way of Time to the ultimate state of perfection.

The Dao of Time lacks the nine phases of space, nor the twelve phases of fate. It has only three phases: past, future, and present. However, the difficulty of cultivation remains undiminished. In fact, due to the inherent unpredictability of time, the difficulty is even greater.

Chen Ping has not seen the Universe Cauldron yet, but the sundial and the demon shrine are in his hands now. Both of these time artifacts have the refining techniques left by beings who have reached the perfect level of the Way of Time.

From what he has seen so far, these two artifacts are definitely not made by one person. In other words, the demon shrine is not made by the ancestor of mankind, so it must come from Hei Qi?
This was the only thing Chen Ping could guess.

The power of time continued to gather, and the speed of time around him continued to change. After a moment, the demon niche was pushed to the extreme, and the speed of time around Chen Ping stopped at 1:1080.

The maximum speed of time flow on a sundial is 1:365, which means one day in the outside world corresponds to one year on the sundial.

The demon shrine's time velocity limit is clearly much greater than that of the sundial, but this doesn't mean the creator of the demon shrine possesses a greater mastery of time than the human ancestor who refined the sundial. First, the materials used to refine the sundial are far inferior to those used to refine the demon shrine. Chen Ping speculates that the demon shrine, like the Nine Cauldrons, was crafted in the ancient times, taking advantage of the abundance of divine materials from the ancient world. While the sundial was also crafted in the ancient times, or even the Primordial Era, the human ancestor at that time was completely focused on refining the Seventy-Two-Story Pagoda, hoping to create a supreme artifact of the universe. This expended a vast amount of divine materials from the heavens and earth, and naturally, the materials used to refine the sundial were far inferior.

Even so, the sundial is one of the most famous time artifacts today, almost second only to the Universe Cauldron and the Demon Shrine. This shows the profound attainments of the Ancestor of Time and Space in the way of time.

Time and space, time and space, his expertise is not limited to time, his attainments in the way of space are also frighteningly high. As the supreme civilization of the Virgo Super Galaxy, in addition to the two ways of time and space, the ancestor of mankind is likely to possess other powerful forces. Such an opponent is really unsettling.

Putting aside the irrelevant thoughts in his mind, Chen Ping calmed down, sat cross-legged on the floor of the Temple of the Gods, and began to deduce the two great laws of nature: creation and destruction.

There is a seed of the fusion of the two great heavenly ways in his body. He only needs to continue to deduce on the basis of the seed, and he will be able to comprehend the other mysteries of the two great heavenly ways naturally.

The eight phases of the underworld, the boundless calamity, the three major sources of evil, the astrology of creation, the ancestral memory of the ancestor of creation... all the opportunities related to the two major heavenly ways were mobilized by Chen Ping, and he soon fell into a deep state of enlightenment.

In his mind, two visualization pictures of the way of heaven slowly unfolded, revealing all the mysteries of the two major ways of heaven.

But being able to see is one thing, and being able to understand is another.

Chen Ping's consciousness gradually immersed himself in the two visualization pictures, watching the complete Way of Creation and Way of Destruction from different angles. Both the two Ways had thirty-six phases, and the thirty-six phases were divided into yin and yang, reality and illusion. Each phase and each category would bring a completely different experience, which could be said to be the ultimate in infinite changes in the world.

Whether it's the thirty-six divine dragons of creation, or the vortex of destruction that annihilates everything, or the endlessness of time and the infinity of space, or the entanglement of fate, the spread of truth, eternal darkness and eternal light, the concepts of life and death constantly intertwined and evolved, creating countless different creatures and evolving countless different ways...

Chen Ping watched as his soul and will were constantly being baptized by the two great heavenly ways. The heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul, all three souls continuously provided strength for his comprehension.

The ninety-sixth-order spiritual power gave him a vision comparable to that of the ancestor of the consistent realm, allowing him to comprehend more mysteries about the two great heavenly ways.

"The Seed of Heavenly Dao in my body is not complete yet?" Chen Ping murmured, and a fictional Seed of Heavenly Dao in his mind continued to evolve. It was his deduction based on the existing Seed of Heavenly Dao.

"Although it's incomplete, I can feel that it's only a little bit away from true perfection. But where exactly is this last bit missing?"

The Tao is indescribable. Sometimes it seems within reach, yet it is infinitely far away. Perhaps one cannot truly touch it in one’s entire life.

Chen Ping was in such a dilemma at the moment. The two Heavenly Dao visualization diagrams and numerous treasures to assist in cultivation were unable to help him take this last step.

This is what spiritual practice is like. There are too many brilliant people in history who made rapid progress in their cultivation when they were young, but when their cultivation reached a certain level or stage, they got stuck. Some people were able to overcome it after going through countless things and a long time, but some were unable to take that step in their entire lives, and they remained standing still until they died of old age.

Just like Feng Caiyi, when she was young, she was also a genius like the 72nd Rank Lotus and the Angry God. Her cultivation progress was first-class among her peers. However, after reaching the peak of great freedom, she stopped moving forward for tens of thousands of years. If there is no special opportunity, this threshold will continue to block her.

Unable to take the final step in the Seed of Heavenly Dao, Chen Ping simply stopped dwelling on it and shifted his focus to the rest of the Dao that he was practicing.

He practiced a great many Taoisms, including the One Qi Hunyuan Dao, the Dao of Sword, the Dao of Truth, the Dao of Destiny... Almost every one of them had the possibility of leading to the ancestor, and many of them even pointed directly to the ancestor's third realm, the beginning and the end of heaven.

The path of cultivation also emphasizes learning by analogy. Although these methods are far inferior to the two great heavenly ways, they may still provide him with some inspiration.

In this way, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a chaotic light appeared on Chen Ping's body. The light was divided into six colors, representing the six phases of Hunyuan.

Ever since he broke through the realm of the ancestor with his blood phase, Chen Ping did not give up the cultivation of the other five phases of the One Qi Hun Yuan Dao. He cultivated all five phases to perfection, and elevated his physical body and martial arts to the semi-ancestor limit that the One Qi Hun Yuan Dao could reach.

At this moment, with the help of the enlightenment of the One Qi Hunyuan Dao and the Hunyuan Guiyi level left by the Great Venerable, he finally made breakthroughs in the five aspects one after another in the past thousand years.

The six aspects of skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood, and now the final breakthrough of mind, are all complete.

Along with the breakthrough of the last phase of thought, a flash of inspiration came to Chen Ping's mind.

"The Way of Heaven is divided into Yin and Yang, with Hun Yuan in the center. Two feet are not stable enough, only three poles can achieve perfection."

Chen Ping smiled, he understood.
