The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 103 The Remnant Soul of the Ancestor
Lihentian, transcending the real world, is one of the three realms.

The whole world is covered with magnificent and dreamy clouds, colorful and like a dream.

These clouds are formed by force, contain magical and powerful forces, and also create the special environment of Lihentian.

In this mysterious space and time, the power of Heaven seems to be isolated. The residual souls of the ancient strongmen remaining in Lihentian will not encounter the Yuanhui heavenly calamity. As long as they are not captured and refined by people, even the residual souls from billions of years ago can remain until now.

This was not the first time Chen Ping came to Lihentian, but every time he stepped into Lihentian, he would be shocked by what he saw, and every time he would gain new insights.

After obtaining the two great visualization diagrams of the Heavenly Dao, his horizons have broadened greatly. Now when he looks at Lihentian again, the shock he feels has only increased. He can't help but wonder, is Lihentian really just the evolution of the energy released by Liangyan after his death?
A powerful being whose cultivation level is only at the Tianshijizhong realm, even if he has a great origin and is a being born from the aftermath of a large amount of catastrophe destruction, should not have such incredible magical means.

Such means that transcend the jurisdiction of heaven are almost comparable to those of Queen Nuwa.

Chen Ping withdrew his mind and stopped studying the origin of Lihentian. He looked down at the seal of creation in the palm of his right hand.

This talisman was obtained when he returned to ancient times, transformed into Chaos, and broke through the realm of Infinite Realm in Lihentian.

This talisman was originally on Hun Dun. After Hun Dun's 'death', this talisman of creation was able to break through the barriers of time and space and follow his consciousness to the future eleven epochs later.

Even the ancestor could not do this. After much thought, Chen Ping was afraid that only the Queen Nuwa, who might have reached the realm of endless beginnings and endings, could do it.

He recalled the mirror he had seen in Lihentian. Could it be that the blurry figure behind the mirror was Queen Nuwa?

Was it Queen Nuwa who bestowed upon him this seal of creation across the long river of time?

He couldn't figure out why Queen Nuwa would do this. Perhaps she was like the holy monk Xumi, who liked to benefit future generations?

Chen Ping shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he used the power of the Creation Talisman and followed the mysterious sensation to search for his target.

Back then in Lihentian, in addition to the mirrored 'Wuhuang', there was also a subtle fluctuation, which was also caused by fate. However, at that time he did not have the ability to explore the deeper parts of Lihentian. Later, as his cultivation gradually improved, he also devoted himself to studying the Yiqi Hunyuan Dao, and put the Dao of fate aside.

The technique practiced by 'Chaos' is the "Creation Heavenly Art" created by the ancestor of creation. With the help of the Creation Heavenly Art, he broke through the realm of immeasurable realms and felt a sense of induction in the Heaven of Separation. With just a little thought, the source of the fluctuations of creation is most likely related to the "Creation Heavenly Art".

"I wonder if it is the remnant soul of the ancestor of creation." Chen Ping said in his heart.

The existence of the Ancestor of Creation is extremely ancient, even older than the ancient times of the Sword Ancestor, Asura, and the Eternal Day Ancestor. It is said that he is an ancient ancestor born in the ancient era of Qi Refiners.

Although Lihentian is a magical place, it has also been purged countless times throughout history. The residual souls of ancient masters are great medicines and elixirs for later generations of cultivators, and they provide many insights into realms and Taoism. The residual souls of the ancestors are even more precious treasures that are coveted by all the heavens and celestial masters.

The more ancient the ancestors and powerful ancient figures are, the less likely they are to survive in Lihentian.

Although Chen Ping hoped that the source of the fluctuations of fate was the residual soul of the ancestor of fate, he was only three or four percent sure.

In the history of the Stone Clan, apart from Chaos, there was only one true ancestor, the Ancestor of Creation. However, most of the masters of the ten divine stars had reached the level of semi-ancestor in their lifetime. Perhaps it was the residual soul of an ancient semi-ancestor of the Stone Clan who had practiced the Creation Heavenly Art that gave him the feeling.

"Even if it's just the remnant soul of a half-ancestor, it's enough." Chen Ping said to himself.

His attainments in the Way of Creation were much worse than those in the Way of Destruction. He had only grasped the basics of the thirty-six aspects of creation and could barely be considered an entry level. None of them had reached even a small degree of success.

Those who can reach the level of semi-ancestor have at least cultivated one aspect of the way of creation to the great perfection realm during their lifetime, which is also a great temptation for Chen Ping.

Lihentian is extremely vast, even larger than the real world. Because of the existence of measurement power, the range of divine consciousness exploration is much smaller than that of the real world, which also provides a place for these ancient souls to hide.

Although the perception of the Creation Seal was weak, it could always point out a vague direction for Chen Ping and guide him through the cloud of power.

He also wondered if this was a trap, but the ancestor's cultivation gave him enough confidence. What kind of trap could ambush the ancestor? Those who could deal with him probably wouldn't need to resort to traps if they really wanted to attack.

The deeper you go into Lihentian, the more bizarre the scenery you see. Some of the clouds are extremely large, with diameters measured in light years. Danger and crisis are hidden deep in the clouds. According to Chen Ping's perception, if Immortal Wuliang goes deep into them, he will be in danger of falling.

He moved forward, searching for the source of the fluctuations of nature, appreciating the unique scenery of Lihentian, and feeling the magical creations of this world.

More than ten days passed like this, and the fluctuations of fate in the depths of Lihentian gradually became stronger.

As if sensing the crisis, the source of the fluctuations of fate began to move at an incredible speed, shifting its position within Lihentian.

"Now that I have found you, how can I let you escape?" Chen Ping chuckled, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot. Not to mention that it was just a residual soul of the ancestor or half-ancestor, even if the real ancestor was alive, he might not be able to escape from his hands.

The residual soul of the ancestor of creation fled at a rapid speed, with a look of fear on his face.

While Lihentian could guarantee the immortality of residual souls, most of the time, these residual souls spent their time in deep sleep, minimizing their own fluctuations. He was the ancestor of ancient times, proficient in the ways of creation and quite skilled in concealment and hiding. This was why he had survived countless Lihentian purges and remained to this day.

But today, he encountered a great crisis. Someone broke through layers of barriers and found his hiding place. He had felt that familiar fluctuation more than ten eons ago. The owner of that fluctuation was still weak at that time. He was still worried that the person would come back to look for him after his cultivation level improved in the future.

Now, that person has finally come.

He was able to enter the Heaven of Separation and Hate more than ten kalpas ago and achieved immeasurable accomplishments. After more than ten kalpas, he might have already reached the level of Heavenly Venerate or Semi-Ancestor. Beings of that level are not something that his remnant soul can deal with.

Escape! Escape deeper!
This was the only thought of the remnant soul of the ancestor of creation. After living for a long time, he certainly did not want to become food for the younger generation of cultivators, even if this younger generation of cultivators practiced the creation of heavenly arts he created and was even considered his successor.

Can you sacrifice yourself to make others happy?
Fuck him! Those who have their eyes on him are all traitors to their teachers and ancestors. They are all filial sons!
"So what if I'm a half-ancestor of the Heavenly Lord? I was the ancestor when I was alive. In this Lihen Heaven, my escape speed is so fast that even a half-ancestor can't catch up with me." The residual soul of the ancestor of creation said in his heart, but suddenly his expression changed and he stopped flying.

In front of him, a figure in white stood in the colorful cloud of force, smiling, looking at him quietly, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

"You...you are the original ancestor!"

The remaining soul of the ancestor of creation wants to cry but has no tears, how can the body of the remaining soul produce tears?

After all, he was just a remnant soul and had long lost the invincible spirit of the ancestor when he was alive. Now that he saw the real ancestor, how could he still have the heart to resist?

"The Stone Clan has met the ancestor of future generations. I have no grudges against you, and you also have your own path to becoming an ancestor. I am just a remnant soul, and I am of no great help to you. Could you let me go?" His tone was a little humble, but he could only hope that the ancestor of the future generation in front of him would show leniency, even though the chance was very slim.

As expected, the figure in white smiled and shook his head. That smile was like a ghost demanding death, trapping the remaining soul of the ancestor of creation in the underworld.

"Forget it, forget it. I have survived in Lihentian for so many years, and now it is time for my soul to be scattered. It does not disgrace my reputation to be killed by an ancestor." The remnant soul of the ancestor of creation sighed.

Chen Ping looked at the remnant soul of the ancestor of creation in front of him, and felt a little sad in his heart. A remnant soul was, after all, a remnant soul. Compared with the real ancestor, it was really far worse. Without the belief in invincibility, and only having the understanding of Taoism, even if he lived another life, it would be extremely difficult to catch up with his achievements in his previous life, let alone surpass his previous life.

After all, there are very few people like Gong Nanfeng who can be reborn with a residual soul and cultivate to the realm of the ancestor. The corpse nightmare is also relying on the help of the ancestor of the underworld, and his ancestor is the corpse of the nightmare, so he is a special case.

"There is no need to do this, Ancestor of Creation. I have no grudges against you. I will not refine your residual soul. I am here only to gain insights into the way of creation." Chen Ping smiled calmly.

The remnant soul of the ancestor of creation was startled upon hearing this, then heaved a sigh of relief. He said in surprise, "You actually know about the existence of the Way of Creation? I've met a few cultivators of later generations, and they've told me that the Way of Creation has fallen to the level of the Supreme Saint Way. I used to think that no cultivator of later generations knew about the Way of Creation anymore. After all, without the primordial spirit, it's incredibly difficult to cultivate the Way of Creation to a masterful level."

soul?

Chen Ping keenly sensed something. Logically, when he transformed into Hun Dun, the technique he practiced was the "Creation Heaven Technique". Hun Dun's cultivation had reached the level of the ancestor. Although he mainly practiced the Yi Qi Hun Yuan Dao and delved into the six phases of Hun Yuan, he should not be unable to achieve even a small success in one phase of the Creation Heaven Dao.

The so-called one method leads to all methods is like a person with perfect mental power. Although he has his own best aspects, as long as he spends some time studying other directions, he can quickly achieve considerable success.

For example, if the Taoist Alchemist spent ten thousand years studying formations, he would at least be a top-level formation master.

Similarly, the ancestor of the Hunyuan lineage practiced the skills of the Zaohua lineage. There is no reason why he could not achieve even a small level of success after hundreds of thousands of years.

A minor achievement in the first phase is only equivalent to the level of Heavenly Venerable. What does it mean to the ancestor?
"Is the practice of the Way of Creation related to the primordial spirit?" Chen Ping asked the question in his mind.

The remnant soul of the ancestor of creation was even more surprised, and asked with some suspicion: "Your Excellency knows the Way of Creation, so I think you must have achieved a high level of accomplishment in the lineage of creation. How could you not know the connection between the Yuan Shen and the Way of Creation?"

The remnant soul of the ancestor of creation was deliberately mysterious. Seeing that Chen Ping's expression gradually became abnormal, he coughed dryly.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is not a big secret. I'm here to help you solve your doubts."

"The universe we live in is home to countless heavenly ways. The source of all these ways is the Heavenly Way, which exists in the dark. The Heavenly Way is supreme, and the ancestors are just larger ants in front of it. Unless you reach the level of the Ancient Witch Ancestor or the Queen Nuwa, you may be able to slightly compete with the Heavenly Way, but that's just a competition."

"Does fellow Daoist know the origins of the Qi Refiner lineage?"

Chen Ping frowned slightly, but still answered patiently: "It is said that the Qi Refiner lineage originated from Wa Huang, the last ancient witch and the founder of Taoism and the Qi Refiner lineage."

The remnant soul of the ancestor of creation nodded, "Yes, the lineage of Qi Refiners indeed originated from Queen Wa, and indeed has a deep connection with the Taoist lineage. In ancient times, the way of witchcraft was extremely prosperous. Including Queen Wa, nine witch ancestors were born in succession, all of whom had the power to rival the way of heaven. The nine witches were immortal, and the power of heaven could not kill them.

Although I have not witnessed that era with my own eyes, I can imagine the grand occasion of all the witch ancestors belonging to the same era. However, the way of cultivation is a process of asking for things from heaven and earth. To become an ancestor, the amount of energy and cosmic matter that needs to be absorbed from heaven and earth is immeasurable.

The damage inflicted on the universe by one Witch Ancestor was greater than that inflicted by ten or even dozens of ordinary ancestors. Therefore, at the end of the ancient times, when Queen Nuwa reached the realm of Witch Ancestor through the power of witchcraft, the way of witchcraft reached its peak, but the burden on the universe and the universe also reached its limit.

"Has the universe reached its limit?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised by this statement.
