Chapter 1039: Discussing the Dao

After Dayu and Liu Lao arrived, they exchanged pleasantries.

The three of them directly ignored Su Fan and sat to the side, discussing the Dao with each other.

Especially since Zhenyuanzi had a new breakthrough, this discussion of the Dao was actually more of Zhenyuanzi speaking, while Dayu and Liu Lao listened.

Originally, Zhenyuanzi's realm and cultivation were higher than those of Dayu and Liu Lao. Now that Zhenyuanzi's realm has made further breakthroughs, he naturally speaks more.

The accomplished are teachers.

Dayu and Liu Lao listen very attentively; after all, the current Zhenyuanzi can already be considered a half-saint level figure.

Although he has not yet become a saint, his realm has already exceeded the peak of the Quasi-Sage. Although his preaching is not like the Dao Ancestor's, where heavenly flowers fall in profusion, the ultimate truths within it still leave the two of them listening in a state of fascination.

As it goes on, Liu Lao gradually begins to struggle, as his realm is quite a bit worse than Dayu's, let alone Zhenyuanzi's.

The final preaching during the discussion between Zhenyuanzi and the two is essentially a general summary of the insights he has gained during his years of seclusion. This explanation also brings him many gains himself.

And this final summary of the preaching is not something Liu Lao can understand.

It is just like when the Dao Ancestor was preaching the Way of the Saint back then; among the three thousand guests in the Purple Heaven Palace below, only a few Innate Divines understood even a little bit.

This also divided the three thousand guests of the Purple Heaven Palace into different ranks.

When the Dao Ancestor took disciples back then, he probably made those preparations after observing the gods while preaching.

As the Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, their natural talent and foundation are the most top-tier among all the great supernatural beings.

There is no need to mention Goddess Nuwa; she and Fuxi obtained the Innate Yin-Yang Creation Origin, and the true bodies of Fuxi and Nuwa are even closer to the Great God Pangu.

There is no need to mention those two.

As for the two from the Western Buddhist Sect, it is probably more because of Luohou. Regardless, the way the West became what it is was caused by the great war back then.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestor also owed the West a bit of karma, and taking the two as disciples was also a way to repay that karma.

However, it is also largely because their foundations are not bad.

Otherwise, there were quite a few others from the West who entered the Purple Heaven Palace.

This shows the importance of talent and foundation; the Dao Ancestor also takes them into account when choosing disciples.

Liu Lao's foundation is not bad, but it is not to say it is very good either; compared to someone like Zhenyuanzi, it is naturally much worse.

Dayu and those humans are also extraordinary.

Especially the Human Emperor, who has the blessing of humanity, is naturally incomparable to Liu Lao. But even so, by the end, he finds it very difficult to listen.

After a long time, Zhenyuanzi finishes speaking and falls into a state of wandering through the starry sky; clearly, this preaching has given him new insights.

Seeing this, Dayu and Liu Lao do not disturb him at all, but instead sit to the side, constantly absorbing the gains from their discussion with Zhenyuanzi.

The gains from the teachings of a half-saint level powerhouse are immense.

The two dare not be negligent and hurriedly deepen their understanding of what they could comprehend. After this, when they return to seclusion, they believe that even if their realms do not break through, they will definitely be able to advance further.

Both are great masters—one a Quasi-Sage, one at the peak of Great Luo. Even a tiny bit of progress is extremely difficult for them and requires time to slowly grind away.

And this one month of listening to the preaching is completely worth more than ten thousand years of previous cultivation.

Tens of thousands of years of cultivation might not compare to this one month of discussion; no wonder many people are willing to discuss the Dao with those powerhouses.

However, at Dayu's realm, there are few in the Earth Immortal World who can be stronger than him. Even if Emperor Fuxi were to preach, it probably wouldn't be of much help to him.

The reason Zhenyuanzi's preaching has such an effect this time is entirely because Zhenyuanzi is currently at a critical moment of achieving the Dao, and the entire world is celebrating for him.

His every move seems to conform to the Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, the world will also provide feedback. Cultivating and discussing the Dao here is like being in the ancient era, where the laws of the world are vibrant, and comprehending the ultimate truths of the world is relatively easier.

Zhenyuanzi's breakthrough is prying open the world, causing the origin of the world to be revealed.

That is why Dayu and the others feel that their realms have improved quite a bit.

Of course, the one with the greatest gains is probably Liu Lao. Although his realm is low, the lower it is, the greater the room for progress.

Dayu's realm had long reached the late Quasi-Sage stage. Even though his gains this time are good, it is not so easy to break through to the peak of the Quasi-Sage in one go.

To this day, he has still only severed his good and evil corpses and has not severed his final self-corpse. It is not easy to reach the peak of the Quasi-Sage.

Of course, with this discussion of the Dao, his path ahead will be a bit smoother.

However, it is different for Liu Lao. His realm is lower, and his gains are not small, even though he found it difficult to listen to some of the later parts and could not understand much of it.

But he has gained a lot from this discussion, and his realm probably no longer has any bottlenecks before reaching the Quasi-Sage.

Even without relying on severing corpses, his realm is already capable of charging toward the Quasi-Sage.

This is quite terrifying. Once he truly severs a corpse, even if he only severs one, his cultivation will likely be able to reach the mid-Quasi-Sage stage.

All three are immersed in their respective gains.

Only Su Fan sits silently to the side, savoring the Ginseng Fruit that Qingfeng and Mingyue brought over earlier.

Although it is an acquired spiritual root Ginseng Fruit, it is a Ginseng Fruit after all, and the vitality it contains is also very vast.

For those Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, it is a top-grade spiritual item.

It just doesn't contain innate vitality. For Su Fan, it is just tasting the flavor, and at the same time, after eating a few Ginseng Fruits, his own magic power has also improved quite a bit.

But that is all.

He does not care about his current magic power and cultivation. After all, once the realm is reached, improving magic power and cultivation is not that difficult. There are too many treasures in this world that improve magic power and cultivation.

The best are the Golden Elixirs from Laozi's Tushita Palace. The Golden Elixirs refined by Laozi are definitely things that countless immortals dream of.

But there are not many who can truly be gifted them by Laozi.

It is just that some disciples of the Three Teachings in the Heavenly Court sometimes have the opportunity to be gifted them. Of course, disciples of the Human Teachings definitely get more because of their relationship.

Regardless, Laozi is also the three corpses of the Taiqing Saint, so he gets the benefits first.

Of course, in the Journey to the West world, when the monkey caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then, he did indeed swallow quite a few of Laozi's Golden Elixirs. Of course, those Golden Elixirs were at most three-turn or five-turn, and all were below the six-turn Golden Elixir.

The true seven-turn Golden Elixir is the top-tier treasure.

Legend has it that one nine-turn Golden Elixir can allow a mortal to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
