The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 51 Discussing Dao with Tianzun

"You can discuss the Dao with 'Emperor Tianyi,' but not with me?" Great Venerable Acalanatha laughed. "You've achieved such a high level of cultivation in such a short period of time. I'm afraid it's not as simple as being born a nine-orifice Chaos Stone Man. Are you the reincarnation of an ancient master, or a senior who has lived a second life?"

Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this. The Great Venerable Acala is worthy of being the Great Venerable Acala. He must have discovered the unusualness of him a long time ago, otherwise why would he hand the Universe Cauldron to him.

"To be honest with you, Tianzun, I am not considered a powerful ancient being, but I can barely be considered a second-life reincarnation."

Acala nodded and said with a smile, "Whether it's rebirth or reincarnation, as long as they don't do evil to the world, they are all part of the common people. I also hope that more powerful people will appear in this era and discuss the Dao with me."

The Great Venerable Acalanatha has studied the three paths in depth and has achieved great attainments in Buddhism. He also knows a lot about the law of reincarnation. He treats all living beings in the world equally, no matter their origins, as long as they have not committed serious sins and have not touched his bottom line.

The Great Venerable Acalanatha did not deliberately try to understand Chen Ping's background, but simply regarded him as a fellow Taoist with whom he could discuss Taoism.

The two chatted for a while, then brewed tea and discussed Taoism in the back garden, and began to talk in detail about the many mysteries of the Yiqi Hunyuan Tao.

The Great Venerable Acalanatha is worthy of being the ancestor of the contemporary era. His realm in the One Qi Hun Yuan Dao is so high that even Chen Ping was shocked.

In his understanding, the Yiqi Hunyuan Dao has six different branches, which are the six phases of chaos. Each of the six phases is a road to heaven that can lead to the ancestor. If one phase is achieved to a small extent, one can become a Heavenly Venerable. If one phase is achieved to a great extent, one can become a Half-Ancestor. If one phase is perfect, one can even break through the realm of the Ancestor and enter the first realm of the Ancestor, with a beginning and an end.

Although the Great Acalanatha is only an ancestor with a beginning and an end, he has already cultivated five of the six phases of chaos to perfection. He only needs to cultivate the sixth phase. Once the six phases are perfect, he will be able to enter the second phase of the ancestor and remain consistent.

However, he was never able to overcome this obstacle.

Although Chen Ping's realm in the One Qi Hun Yuan Dao was far inferior to that of the Great Venerable Acala, he used the One Qi Hun Yuan Dao to refine his body and had studied the six phases of chaos. The Chaos Immortal Body he created was a method that combined the six phases, so it was not difficult for him to find the flaws in the Dao of the Great Venerable Acala.

The Great Venerable broke into the Ancestral Realm with the Way of Five Elements Chaos. This was the path he had taken when he was in the Holy Realm. There were only Five Elements and Five Phases, and there was no place for the Sixth Phase. This was not because the Great Venerable Acala was not talented enough and could not comprehend the Way of Six Phases. On the contrary, the Great Venerable was so talented and had such a strong understanding that the more they discussed the Way, the more shocked Chen Ping became.

Even though his foundation was flawed, the Great Venerable had already found a way to make up for it, which was to integrate the Acala Fist into the chaos of the Five Elements, control the Five Elements with his fist, suppress the Three Realms with his fist, and destroy the Six Paths.

This method is still in its infancy, and the Great Venerable has not yet perfected it. Although Chen Ping has obtained the complete version of the Thirty-three Heavens and the Acala Fist, there is no complete inheritance of the Six Paths Breaking. Even if there is, it may not be suitable for the current Acala Venerable.

Breaking through the six realms is just a method, but what the Great Venerable Acalanatha wants to break is his own shackles, his state of mind, Taoism, and supernatural powers... Only by breaking them everywhere can he make up for the deficiencies of his innate nature with the acquired methods.

……

The two sat and discussed. Chen Ping's martial arts realm was far inferior, and his physical skills were also not as good as the Great Venerable. He absorbed a lot but spoke little, but his spiritual power attainments were genuine ancestor, surpassing the Great Venerable, and also brought a lot of insights to the Great Venerable.

When breaking through from the initial stage of the Immortal Boundless Realm to the middle stage of the Immortal Boundless Realm, Chen Ping played chess and discussed Taoism with the Master of the Five Elements Temple in the Shatuo Realm for eight hundred years before he made the breakthrough. Now his pursuit is to break through from the Heavenly Venerable level to the Semi-Ancestor level, and the object of his discussion has also changed from the Master of the Five Elements Temple who is at the peak of the Immortal Boundless Realm to the Great Venerable Acala in front of him.

This discussion was destined to be a long one. Standing atop King Mountain, the divine beast Golden Lion yawned as it gazed down at the distant Shengming Imperial City, enveloped in a nine-colored halo.

This discussion has lasted for ten thousand years.

In his memory, the last time the Great Venerable discussed Taoism with others for such a long time was when he discussed Taoism with the Fifth Patriarch six kalpas ago. After that discussion, the Great Venerable quickly broke through to the realm of the First Patriarch and ascended to the position of Heavenly Venerable, becoming invincible in the heavens.

Now that six multiverses have passed, it is really rare to encounter an existence that can allow the great master to discuss the Tao for ten thousand years.

There is a saying that if you hear the truth in the morning, you will be satisfied if you die in the evening. At this moment, Acala and Chen Ping are in this state.

The back garden of the imperial palace had already transformed into an alien dimension, with twenty-seven layers of chaotic sky hanging high in the sky. In the sky world, two figures were sitting cross-legged facing each other.

The body of the great statue of Acala was enveloped in six-colored flowing light. With the Acala Fist as the command and the five elements and five aspects as the foundation, the six paths were broken. Although the physical body of the ancestor of Twenty-Seven could not be broken, the ancestor's Taoism had reached a great step forward.

Above the twenty-seven layers of chaotic sky, under the effect of the six paths being broken, six more layers of illusory sky were added, transforming into the thirty-three layers of heaven.

On the other side, Chen Ping was sitting cross-legged, with all 144 acupoints on his body blooming with infinite divine light. The Eight Phases of the Underworld, the Heavenly Palace of Creation, the Thirty-three Heavens... Many Taoist methods of the contemporary and ancient powerful men were nurtured by him, transformed into Taoist patterns and integrated into his own chaotic immortal body. Finally, he took another step forward, and with the posture of the five phases of flesh, tendons, bones and blood, he entered the realm of both martial arts and physical body. His mental strength also rose, and recovered to the peak of the ninety-fourth level. If he had not considered breaking into the ancestor, the consumption of activating the Universe Cauldron would become even greater. He could have completely recovered to the ancestor level at this moment.

Both of them had broken through, and the Great Master then dispersed the thirty-three layers of chaotic sky and returned to the real world from the other-dimensional space.

The two looked at each other and both laughed out loud.

The Great Venerable Acala is invincible in the world and it is difficult for him to find a fellow Taoist. The same is true for Chen Ping. In his time, in order to hide his own secrets, he concealed his cultivation level, concealed his identity, and created many unreasonable personalities for himself, making it impossible for him to find a fellow Taoist who could discuss Taoism with him.

The eight hundred years he spent discussing Taoism with the master of the Five Elements Temple were one of his few happy times. Most of the time, he would hold volumes of ancient books and try to communicate with those ancient powerful men through pen and ink across the vast time and space.

"It will take thirty thousand years to become a Heavenly Venerable, and another ten thousand years to become a Semi-Ancestor. I'm afraid that it will take less than a single Yuanhui for your realm to catch up with mine. When that day comes, you and I will have a fight and make friends through martial arts." After realizing the Six Paths and seeing a farther way forward, the Great Venerable Acala was full of passion.

Chen Ping has just entered the semi-ancestor stage, and his cultivation level is still far behind that of the Great Venerable Acala, but with the Universe Cauldron in his hand, he is fully confident that he can elevate any aspect of the Yiqi Hunyuan Dao to the perfect level within tens of thousands of years and become the ancestor.

After all, he is not an ordinary half-ancestor, but a half-ancestor who has broken through the realm by combining flesh, tendons, bones and blood with the five phases of chaos. His foundation is much deeper than that of the Great Venerable Acala at the same level.

The One Qi Hun Yuan Dao is an extremely mysterious holy path. After Chen Ping and the Great Venerable Acalanatha jointly deduced it, they even felt that its end could be on par with the Heavenly Dao.

This holy path seems to have only six aspects, but in fact it encompasses everything. In the hands of the Great Venerable Acala, the six aspects are the five elements and the Acala Fist. In the hands of Chen Ping, they are the flesh, bones, and blood of the Chaos Immortal Body and the divine consciousness that controls this physical body.
