The boundless Outer Domain Void.
With a casual wave of his hand, Dao Traces Great Emperor caused a palace to appear in the Void.
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
Lu Ye also returned the courtesy.
The Devouring Dao Beast watched this scene with eager eyes.
It also wanted to enter, but since Dao Traces Great Emperor hadn't spoken, it couldn't.
Dao Traces Great Emperor glanced at it.
"You can come in too!"
The Devouring Dao Beast was overjoyed and quickly bowed in thanks.
The two people and one beast walked into the main hall.
Dao Traces Great Emperor sat in the main seat, Lu Ye sat to the side, and the Devouring Dao Beast consciously moved to the back.
It didn't think about participating in the discussion of the Dao, only about listening; perhaps just listening would be of immense benefit.
Lu Ye casually released the Enlightenment Tree.
Letting it listen from the side, his discussion of the Dao with Dao Traces Great Emperor would definitely bring great benefits to the Enlightenment Tree.
Dao Traces Great Emperor couldn't help but glance at the Enlightenment Tree, feeling a slight shock in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist, what Great Dao is on this tree?"
"My previous Celestial Venerable Great Dao."
Dao Traces Great Emperor...
Good heavens, he directly abandoned his own Celestial Venerable Great Dao. How much courage does that take?
However, he then thought of the scene he had seen earlier, and...
He could only say, it was a good abandonment!
"Fellow Daoist, I'm a bit curious, did you really reverse time and return to the present?" Dao Traces Great Emperor asked curiously.
Lu Ye also laughed.
"To be honest, this current world is the tribulation for becoming a Saint, and even Fellow Daoist is an evolution of the tribulation for becoming a Saint."
"Ah?"
Dao Traces Great Emperor's expression changed dramatically, cold sweat broke out, and he quickly examined himself and the Heaven and Earth.
But it was obvious that he couldn't find anything.
"Is what Fellow Daoist said true or false?"
"Just kidding."
Lu Ye said with a smile, which made Dao Traces Great Emperor let out a light breath.
"Fellow Daoist has made this humble Daoist lose confidence."
"Hahaha, isn't that precisely Fellow Daoist's problem? Leaving Dao traces everywhere, leaving traces on all Great Daos, pursuing ten thousand Daos but lacking sufficient strength, pursuing a single Dao but lacking perseverance..."
Lu Ye had just casually opened the curtain on their discussion of the Dao, and immediately attacked Dao Traces Great Emperor's vital points.
Dao Traces Great Emperor had already become a Great Emperor.
In terms of the Great Dao, he was naturally unassailable.
And so, back and forth they went, their heated conversation quickly resonating.
The Great Dao bloomed flowers, and immortal music played constantly.
Various anomalies appeared in the Void.
Ten thousand Daos resonated, a thousand lights shone together.
Endless Heaven and Earth spiritual energy converged towards the palace.
Lu Ye's strength began to continuously increase.
In fact, someone was already eyeing Lu Ye now.
However, with Dao Traces Great Emperor present, they forcibly restrained themselves from acting.
Time passed by minute by minute.
On the other side, Sun Ruowei had already successfully Crossed Tribulation and was searching the entire world for Yue Hongling's whereabouts. In fact, it wasn't just her searching; who knows how many people in the entire Fourth Heaven were looking for Yue Hongling and Shangguan Huanling.
Lu Ye's strength was formidable, invincible in the Fourth Heaven, so it was naturally impossible to seek trouble with him.
Anyone who sought trouble with him was seeking death, but Yue Hongling and Shangguan Huanling were different.
Yue Hongling was severely injured, her strength [N O V E L I G H T] less than one-tenth of her peak.
Based on Yue Hongling's memories, Shangguan Huanling was shown to be a woman not much different from an idiot.
If these two were found, capturing them would be relatively simple.
But it was also unknown where the two had run off to; using various methods to search, they still couldn't be found.
Sun Ruowei naturally couldn't find them either.
The 'melon' she ate before was too big, meaning her Great Dao instantly elevated to an unbelievable degree, so increasing her strength now was as simple as eating and drinking water.
The relationship between the Great Dao and cultivation is like writing a novel and an outline.
As long as the outline is long enough, you just need to vigorously tap away on the keyboard with both hands, easily churning out ten thousand words a day.
Conversely, if the outline is insufficient, you can still write the novel, but you need to write while thinking, like being constipated, and occasionally stop writing to play games or browse Douyin.
Therefore, Sun Ruowei's cultivation speed is absolutely at the first tier level now.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
Yes, for a full five years, Lu Ye had been discussing the Dao with Dao Traces Great Emperor. This was actually very normal; sometimes, for two chatty people, discussing the Dao for hundreds or thousands of years is not a problem.
In the past, there was a recorded discussion of the Dao that lasted the longest, a discussion between two Celestial Venerables, which lasted for a full six thousand seven hundred years in one go.
So much so that their path of cultivation directly became a prominent school of thought in that era.
There was no other way; their Great Dao was simply too active. Cultivating the Great Dao of these two Celestial Venerables was more than twice as fast as cultivating other Great Daos.
In fact, now, there were also signs of a prominent school of thought emerging.
Because the Heavenly Dao loved to eat 'melons' (gossip/spectate), some people had already begun to discover that as long as they liked to eat 'melons', their cultivation speed would increase to some extent.
Of course, they believed that their strength growth speed increased because eating 'melons' made them happy?
But they didn't know that eating 'melons' was being close to the Heavenly Dao. How could their cultivation speed not increase?
Perhaps this was why the Heavenly Dao needed to be impartial.
Nobody had expected that a System capable of replacing the Heavenly Dao would appear, and nobody would have expected that the System replacing the Heavenly Dao would, for the sake of a human, mobilize all the energy of Heaven and Earth to propel time reversal.
This resulted in the Heavenly Dao, which should have disappeared, reappearing, and the System, which had become impartial, regaining thought.
It was chaos, complete chaos. The entire Nine Heavens turned into a pot of porridge.
After five years, the discussion of the Dao finally concluded.
The two, who had been red-faced and argued until their throats were hoarse, finally became calm at this moment.
The Devouring Dao Beast was dumbfounded.
Is this how big shots discuss the Dao?
The early stage was quite normal. The Devouring Dao Beast gained a lot from their discussion of the Dao, even feeling that it finally understood what a Great Emperor was.
In this discussion of the Dao, even though the Devouring Dao Beast had suffered heavy losses before, dropping from Quasi-Emperor Eighth Layer all the way to Quasi-Emperor First Layer in one go, the fallen cultivation could be recovered sooner or later, but the insights gained now, especially the growth in understanding of the Great Dao, was extremely difficult to achieve at its current realm.
Later, the discussion of the Dao between the two became more and more intense, and their words also started to become extreme.
Lu Ye even directly reached out and grabbed Dao Traces Great Emperor's collar, roaring angrily, "Why don't you understand? Why don't you understand? Ignorant! Stupid pig!"
Dao Traces Great Emperor naturally didn't tolerate it either, countering with a grab, "You're the one who can't explain it clearly, can't make it understandable, and you're even blaming me? I refuse to accept this!"
The Devouring Dao Beast couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat just watching; it was too terrifying.
Are discussions of the Dao between strong individuals all like this?
But it didn't dare to ask.
If Lu Ye knew the Devouring Dao Beast's thoughts, he would clearly tell it, yes, it is like this.
In his previous life, when he discussed the Dao with others, sometimes he almost beat the other person to death, and sometimes the other person almost beat him to death.
In the past, when those two Celestial Venerables discussed the Dao for six thousand seven hundred years, it's estimated that at least five thousand years of that time was spent fighting, and they cursed very dirtily.
There was no other way; discussing the Dao itself is about one's Great Dao directly confronting the other's Great Dao, so conflicts are too normal.
Now that the discussion of the Dao was over, both of them had regained their composure.
Both felt refreshed and happy, cupped their hands to each other, and smiled.
In unison, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"
