Chapter 142: Discussing the Dao

After Ye Chen and the Chaos Eye arrived at their dojo, a surge of spiritual power so thick it couldn't dissipate instantly rushed toward them.

In just that moment, Ye Chen felt his realm loosen slightly.

This! The concentration of spiritual power is terrifyingly high!

Otherwise, how could we say this cultivation era is a great age?

But why is the spiritual power of later generations so scarce?

Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

This situation, the Eternal Immortal King and the Reincarnation Immortal King had previously speculated about for later generations, so they already knew early on that the spiritual power of later generations would diminish; however, regarding the emergence of this situation, they also didn't know what was going on.

After the Chaos Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen's brows furrowed instantly.

Even the Eternal Immortal King and the Reincarnation Immortal King don't know why? Since they can't even perceive why, then isn't the cause of all this... the Immortal Emperor!?

It's not impossible, but we've never seen an Immortal Emperor, so this is merely a speculation; moreover, the Immortal Emperor is no longer influenced by heaven and earth, so regarding the disappearance of spiritual power, the Eternal Immortal King and the Reincarnation Immortal King both speculate that it has little to do with the Immortal Emperor, possibly caused by some indescribable existences.

Indescribable existences?

Ye Chen said softly; he was still hearing of such existences for the first time.

What is indescribable? The Dao cannot clarify, words cannot explain, yet it is extraordinarily powerful!

Two fellow Daoists, please rest here for a while; our Dao discussion is about to begin.

Huo He said to Ye Chen and the Chaos Eye.

Fine, thank you, fellow Daoist.

Upon hearing Huo He's words, Ye Chen immediately turned and said to Huo He.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Huo He nodded slightly, then left this place.

Ye Chen looked at this place; instantly, he realized a problem.

Chaos Eye, you previously said this place is merely a fragment of a time river; what about the earlier segment? Or are you saying this place is a brand-new world forged by the Reincarnation Immortal King with supreme power?

Ye Chen asked; after he finished expressing his confusion, the Chaos Eye's eyeballs rolled around in their sockets, obviously also stumped by Ye Chen's question.

If it had its former cultivation and strength, it would surely know what the current situation is, but now its strength is far inferior to before, so he also doesn't know why.

However, having lived countless ages, although it doesn't know what the situation is, it can still roughly infer what's going on.

This place should be that intercepted segment of the time river; the original segment should have been filled in by the Reincarnation Immortal King with supreme power, although intercepted, the predetermined events have already occurred, so……

The Chaos Eye didn't finish speaking, and he also knew what the Chaos Eye's unfinished words meant.

So, these people... in the end... will still die.

Ye Chen's tone carried a hint of sorrow; these people are all top-tier heavenly talents; if given time to grow, Ye Chen doesn't say they'd reach the realm of the Eternal Immortal King and Reincarnation Immortal King, but becoming a Great Emperor is not impossible.

Even... becoming immortals, they also have great hope.

Moreover, Ye Chen could sense a youthful vigor unique to juveniles on them, indicating these people are generally not old.

How old... are they now?

The oldest is no more than two hundred years old.

The Chaos Eye immediately answered Ye Chen's question.

After the Chaos Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen self-mockingly said, "Poor me, I spent several hundred years in that space, yet in the end I'm still inferior to them."

You don't need to belittle yourself; they are heaven-favored, your talent is not lacking.

Although they are heaven-favored, it cannot be denied that their talent is indeed strong.

Ye Chen said, word by word.

While Ye Chen and the Chaos Eye were conversing, people came in one after another outside.

Their faces beamed with enthusiasm; in small groups, they shared their recent cultivation insights.

Fellow Daoist, my strength has recently broken through again; can we arrange a match another day?

Hahaha, certainly.

Fellow Daoist, my cultivation has stalled recently; I don't know if it's due to a problem in my cultivation state or my mindset; do you have any solution?

This is simple; just find a dao partner.

Ye Chen listened to their conversation; they had no rivalry, no gossip, no hostility toward each other; what they had was merely a shared desire for mutual progress.

Yah! Newcomers have arrived; are these the recent disciples newly recruited by the Reincarnation Immortal King?

At this moment, someone noticed Ye Chen, and also noticed the Chaos Eye at his brow.

Is this an innate divine ability?

Hiss... this fellow Daoist's talent is actually so strong!

Fellow Daoist, I see your foundation is solid; what cultivation method are you practicing?

At this moment, everyone took great interest in Ye Chen and the Chaos Eye at his brow.

Seeing this, Ye Chen clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I am not a newly accepted disciple of the Reincarnation Immortal King; I merely stumbled into this place by mistake, brought here by the two fellow Daoists Ye Ming and Huo He."

And this eye at my brow is not my innate divine ability; it possesses spirituality, you may regard it as a congenital chaos spirit creature.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, those people were even more shocked.

This fellow Daoist's strength is truly strong to an unimaginable degree.

Indeed, even being able to subdue such a spirit creature is simply terrifying!

Fellow Daoist, may I ask which sect you belong to?

They asked in a clamor, of course out of intense curiosity toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen saw this, and was just about to answer their questions one by one when the voices of Huo He and Ye Ming suddenly rang out; as their voices rang out, those people also stopped asking.

All right, everyone, there's no need to ask any more; since you already know his formidable strength, you should naturally strive to catch up.

Ye Ming Senior Brother is right; rather than asking so many questions, it would be better to make good use of this opportunity to discuss the Dao and improve oneself.

Huo He also went along with Ye Ming's words and said.

After they finished speaking, everyone bowed to Ye Chen with clasped fists, then left, found seats, and each sat down.

Ye Chen saw them leave, found a nearby spot, and sat down.

Huo He and Ye Ming saw that everyone had seated themselves, then said: "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, now foreign races covet our realm; we ought to diligently raise our cultivation to meet the upcoming great war!"

Ye Ming Senior Brother is right; this discussion of the Dao is precisely our opportunity to quickly increase our strength; I hope you will cherish this opportunity and encourage each other to press forward together.

After Huo He finished speaking, everyone present said in unison: "Yes!"

Thereafter, everyone began to discuss the Dao.

They exchanged insights and cultivation experiences.

While they were discussing the Dao, heavenly and earthly portents appeared, and golden lotuses fell in profusion; even the Way of Heaven was cooperating with their discussion of the Dao.

This is hardly ever seen in later ages!

Yet here, it happened so easily.
