Chapter 92 Discussing the Dao at Zixiao Palace, the Path of the Golden Immortal.
In the endless chaos within the Purple Cloud Palace.
At this moment, only three people remained in Zixiao Palace: Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Chen Qing, and Lady Pingxin, who sat facing each other.
The three are of equal strength and have the same status.
Hongjun Daozu is one with the Heavenly Dao and is the number one being of the Heavenly Dao. Pingxin Niangniang opened the cycle of reincarnation and is the number one being of the Earthly Dao. Chen Qing cultivates the mythical Great Luo Law and has a future body, so he can sit on equal footing with the two of them.
Moreover, Chen Qing was born into the human race, which at this time had already been designated as the overlord of the primordial world and the protagonist of the world. The rise of the human race in the future would be the rise of the human way.
In this way, Chen Qing, as a top human being, can represent humanity.
At this moment, the three of them, inside the Zixiao Palace, all opened their eyes and looked at each other.
Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing, a smile appearing in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, I didn't expect you to have achieved such success in your cultivation so quickly, and to have condensed what you said before."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what I mentioned before has now been successfully cultivated. Now, all that remains is the next step of cultivation. Once that is achieved, I will be able to take another step closer to you."
As Chen Qing spoke, a galaxy flowed between his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, he created a branch of spacetime.
Upon seeing this, both Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Chen Qing's strength is already not much inferior to ours."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Consort Pingxin and smiled faintly.
Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing, then glanced at Pingxin Niangniang, and slowly spoke.
"Since that's the case, why don't the three of us have a discussion on the Dao here in Zixiao Palace? What do you two fellow Daoists think?"
"Since I became a saint, I have never discussed the Dao with anyone, and I have never had any fellow Daoists to accompany me. As a result, although I am in harmony with the Dao, my understanding of the Great Dao is still somewhat lacking."
"Now that we have two fellow Daoists here, we cannot let such a good opportunity go to waste."
As Hongjun Daozu spoke these words, he looked at Chen Qing and Lady Pingxin, who were waiting quietly.
Empress Pingxin and Chen Qing exchanged a glance and both nodded in agreement.
"Yes, since we have gathered here today, it is only right that we discuss the Dao together."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu glanced at Pingxin Niangniang and Chen Qing, but spoke directly.
"In that case, as the master of this place, I will first speak of my Great Dao."
After saying this, Hongjun Daozu glanced at the two of them and saw that they both nodded, so he slowly spoke.
The moment Hongjun Daozu spoke, the long river of laws behind him manifested directly, as did the source of the Great Dao, and endless Dao essence permeated the Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun Daozu did not speak, yet endless Dao sounds emanated from him.
The greatest truths are the simplest, the greatest sounds are the quietest, and the greatest forms are the most formless.
At this moment, what the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was speaking about was the Dao of Heaven, which was his own understanding. Although he did not speak, the sound of the Dao was lingering in the ears of Chen Qing and Lady Pingxin.
Moreover, the long river of laws and the source of the Great Dao behind them were directly manifested, allowing the two to see them directly.
Time passed slowly, and a thousand years passed since Hongjun Daozu gave his lecture.
On this day, Dao Ancestor Hongjun stopped explaining and looked at Chen Qing and Lady Pingxin. Seeing that the two were looking at him, he smiled.
"What do you two think?"
When Chen Qing and Lady Pingxin heard Hongjun Daozu's question, they nodded and smiled.
"What the Dao Ancestor Hongjun said is indeed correct. He has his own unique insights into the Great Dao. He truly deserves to be called the number one person in the Heavenly Dao. He has greatly inspired us both."
"Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has finished speaking, I will now give my explanation."
After Chen Qing finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them, and the long river of laws manifested behind him. His Dao body, supreme Dharma form, past body, and present body all stepped out from the spacetime dimension.
The River of Time descended directly, and the endless power of time permeated the Purple Cloud Palace. A figure walked from afar and stood on the River of Time.
Chen Qing explained the Great Dao, and endless Dao essence permeated the Zixiao Palace, the sound of the Dao covering the entire palace.
Chen Qing explained slowly, word by word, without rushing.
Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang looked at the long river of laws behind Chen Qing, and at Chen Qing's Dao body, supreme Dharma form, past body, present body and future body, all of which were observing there.
Chen Qing's lecture spanned a thousand years, and the thousand years passed quietly during his explanation.
On this day, Chen Qing stopped explaining, the long river of laws behind him receded, and his Dao body, supreme Dharma form, past body, present body, and future body returned directly to the endless spacetime dimension.
Chen Qing opened his eyes, looked at Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoists, I have made a fool of myself with my humble words. I hope you will not laugh at my limited understanding."
When Chen Qing said this, he was actually lowering his own position. At this time, he had not yet cultivated to the level of a mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his true strength was still somewhat different from that of Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang.
If they were to actually fight, he would certainly be no match for either of them.
Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang burst into laughter.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing is mistaken. Your understanding of the Great Dao is already no less than ours, and you even have your own unique insights in some areas, which we cannot match."
"Fellow Daoist, your past, present, and future bodies are quite ingenious, somewhat similar to my method of severing the three corpses. I wonder if your next step is to merge your past, present, and future bodies into one, just like mine?"
"My method of severing the three corpses is to sever the good and evil self, and finally merge the three corpses into one."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun with a hint of surprise on his face.
"What Ancestor Hongjun said is correct. My next step is to combine my past body, present body, and future body into one, thereby forming a unique self."
"At that time, beyond the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, the five elements, yin and yang, one will control the myriad forms, create something from nothing, change the rules, and become the beginning and end of the Dao. With a thought, one can travel through the heavens and the universe will be created in an instant."
"I am now an immortal spirit, but if I could achieve immortal consciousness, that would be even better."
"When I reach that point, I will be able to hold countless worlds in my palm, live forever free and unfettered, and change the rules of those ordinary worlds."
"However, it takes a lot of time to cultivate to this level. I have only just reached the Xuanxian realm, so there is no rush."
Both Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang nodded thoughtfully upon hearing Chen Qing's words.
After a long while, Consort Pingxin looked at the two of them and then slowly spoke.
"Since you two fellow Daoists have already explained, then I will also explain my own Great Dao."
After Lady Pingxin finished speaking, a black hole appeared behind her, and a wheel was spinning continuously above the black hole.
Above the roulette wheel lies the boundless power of the laws of the earth.
As soon as Lady Pingxin spoke, endless Daoist energy permeated the Zixiao Palace, filling it with Daoist sounds.
Both Chen Qing and Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at the roulette wheel, pondering as they looked.
This was the first time both of them had witnessed the origin of the Earthly Dao and heard about its methods. For them, these methods could be used to comprehend laws that would benefit their own path to enlightenment.
The Empress Pingxin's explanation lasted for a thousand years. After a thousand years had passed, she stopped explaining and instead looked at the two of them.
"Fellow Daoists, I wonder if you have gained anything from what I have just said?"
Hongjun Daozu and Chen Qing gained a great deal at this time, because this was the first time that the underground passage had manifested in the primordial world, and it was also the first time that someone had explained it to them.
"What Fellow Daoist Pingxin said has greatly inspired us both, and we have gained a lot. The vastness of the Dao is truly remarkable. In just a few thousand years, we have become completely engrossed in it."
Empress Pingxin smiled upon hearing this.
After all, who doesn't like to hear nice things?
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun and Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, you have gone too far. I have also gained a lot from what you two have said."
The three of them exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"Now that the three of us have had a discussion, we have each gained something. Today's discussion shall end here, as we must part ways. We hope to have the opportunity to discuss the Dao together again in the future."
Empress Pingxin and Chen Qing nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Our discussion here concludes here. We hope to have the opportunity to discuss the Dao together again in the future."
Empress Pingxin glanced at Chen Qing, then stood up abruptly.
"Then I shall depart now, for the underworld cannot be without my presence to suppress it."
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing also stood up, looked at Hongjun Daozu, and slowly spoke.
"Now that the human race has become the overlord of the primordial world, I should return to the human race, teach them, and help them become the overlord of the primordial world as soon as possible."
Upon seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded in agreement.
"Fellow Daoists, please take your time. We will meet again someday."
Chen Qing and Consort Pingxin walked out of Zixiao Palace together. After they came out of the palace, they looked at each other and smiled faintly.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, you are welcome to visit the Underworld in the future. The gates of the Underworld will always be open to you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and watched as Consort Pingxin entered the spatial passage before withdrawing his gaze.
After thinking it over for a while, Chen Qing decided to return to Chuyuan Mountain.
Chen Qing glanced at the space in front of him, opened up a spatial passage, and stepped into it, returning directly to Mount Chuyuan.
As for the matter of the human race, he planned to return and think it over carefully before heading to the shores of the East Sea to summon the three ancestors of the human race and work with them to plan for the future of the human race.
Although the strength of the three ancestors of the human race was not considered a remnant in the prehistoric world, the human race had been established as the overlord of the world, so they had to discuss it together.
Furthermore, without his presence, there's no doubt that other unexpected things might happen.
But with him in charge among the human race, who would dare to cause trouble?
