The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 433 Thinking about the Dao
If she could complete her transformation in this life more quickly, instead of living in a daze like before, he could discuss the Dao with her from time to time.

If he can discuss philosophy with her from time to time, he will surely be able to thoroughly understand her philosophy and principles, which will become nourishment and foundation for his growth.

Moreover, there is a Heavenly Emperor who has lived for at least five lifetimes who can discuss the Dao with him, and can also help him fill in the gaps in his knowledge, so that their mutual understanding can make his cultivation smoother.

Besides, he also had some secret thoughts that were not known to others.

He has taken a liking to the ruthless empress!

Whether in his past life or this one, he was not a morally perfect person; he was just an ordinary person who loved beautiful women, delicious food, and luxury.

In his previous life, when he read the novel "Covering the Sky," he was very fond of the ruthless empress, a woman of unparalleled beauty. In this life, although he only met her once, based on his impressions from his previous life, he missed her even more.

Let alone him, he believed that any time traveler or any normal man in the world would find it difficult not to have feelings for the ruthless empress.

Of course, although he had feelings for her, he also had his own pride and bottom line. He would not force her, nor did he like to force her. Moreover, he was attracted to the ruthless and beautiful empress, not to her as a prisoner who could be humiliated by others.

Otherwise, given his strength, the foundation of the Boundless Holy Court, and the current state of the Ruthless Empress, with careful planning, it might not be impossible for him to capture her alive.

He had taken a liking to her, but didn't want to force her, so he could only try to win her over.

But how easy is it to win her over? Besides, she's currently in a reclusive phase, sleeping in the desolate forbidden land. It's difficult to even meet her and exchange a few words, let alone anything else.

So he wanted to tell her some information to change her obsession: from waiting for her brother to return in the mortal world to cultivating to a higher realm to resurrect her brother.

Perhaps it will allow her to unleash her potential, end this life's transformation more quickly, and stop living in a daze.

Only then could he communicate with her and have any hope of getting her to agree.

Moreover, she is not a quasi-Immortal Emperor or an Immortal Emperor. She has not even finished walking the path of immortality in the mortal world. She has walked it with extreme difficulty and has been on the verge of death several times.

She probably can't even guarantee that she can successfully navigate the mortal path to immortality, let alone guarantee that she can cultivate to the level of an Immortal King and resurrect her brother.

His talent is far superior to hers, and he has a higher chance of being able to revive others in the future. The dual cultivation method he created is extremely useful and effective for people with similar cultivation levels. Both people will benefit greatly from dual cultivation.

If it's about feelings, he'd probably have a hard time getting her to agree, but if it's about these things, it's not impossible.

Besides, he's just taking a chance, even if it's not a sure thing. If it works out, he'll be overjoyed and happy for the rest of his life.

If he fails, all he will lose is some information that can be copied, and he will suffer no loss himself.

She couldn't just kill him because he had feelings for her, could she?

Even if she really did that, she wouldn't be a threat to him, because even if she were to unleash her full potential, let alone if her transformation had gone wrong and her strength was no longer at its peak, she still wouldn't necessarily be his match.

Although he harbored feelings for the ruthless empress, Li Daoming did not reveal them in the slightest.

If he were to propose to her now, wanting to become her Daoist partner, even if she wouldn't kick him out because of the information he had just given her, he would probably find it very difficult to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in the future.

He was also thinking that he should discuss the Dao with her a few more times so that he could understand her Dao and Dharma, and perfect his own Dao and the Three Thousand Laws!

Even if he were to expose his wolfish ambitions, he should at least fully comprehend her Dao and Dharma before making any moves. Moreover, the more they meet and discuss the Dao, the more familiar they become with each other, and the closer their relationship grows. Bringing it up then would increase the chances of success.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The ruthless Empress looked at Li Daoming, no longer as calm and serene as before. She no longer looked like a jade sculpture, but had gained a touch of human warmth.

"No need to be so polite! Last time we discussed the Dao, your method of transformation benefited me greatly. This is just a piece of useless information." Li Daoming waved his hand and said casually.

"Fellow Daoist, have you obtained any further information? Could you please inform me?"

“Of course, but I don’t have much information.” Li Daoming didn’t intend to tell her everything he knew. His origins were hard to explain, and he didn’t want to say too much at once.

Li Daoming then organized the information he knew and selected a few points to share.

For example, the cultivation methods of the Chaotic Ancient Era are different from those of this era; their current cultivation system seems to have been created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor…

After selectively mentioning some minor points, Li Daoming remembered his purpose in coming to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and then asked, "How are you feeling now? Would it be possible for us to discuss the Dao again?"

"Alright!" The ruthless empress nodded slightly, then gestured to invite Li Daoming into the Bronze Immortal Palace, clearly agreeing to discuss the Dao with him again.

The two entered the Bronze Immortal Palace. She raised her hand and conjured two futons with her Dao energy, and the two sat down facing each other.

Seemingly in return for the information Li Daoming provided, the Ruthless Empress fully elaborated on her own Dao and Dharma, as well as her insights into transformation.

Seeing the ruthless empress's generosity, Li Daoming was not stingy either. He first demonstrated the mysteries of the Chaotic Holy Body Dao Embryo, then evolved the True Phoenix Nirvana Method, the Reversal Holy Spirit Method, and the Three Thousand Law Runes...

Li Daoming focused particularly on evolving the Three Thousand Laws Runes, wishing he could give them to the Ruthless Empress.

This is both a hope that she can gain some insight from it and advance her cultivation to a higher level, and a hope that she can deeply comprehend and interpret the Three Thousand Laws Runes.

If she deeply comprehends and interprets the Three Thousand Laws Runes, she will surely integrate her understanding of many Great Dao Laws into the Three Thousand Laws Runes, allowing him to better absorb her Dao and Laws and perfect the Three Thousand Laws Runes.

This debate between the two lasted for more than five years before it came to an end.

The sounds of Tao faded, but the essence of Tao endured, making this place a land where Tao resides. If someone could comprehend Tao and cultivate here, they would surely make rapid progress.

Unfortunately, this is the Bronze Immortal Palace, and no one has that kind of luck.

At this moment, the ruthless empress's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her usually calm eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

She can't describe her current state of mind!
She had agreed to discuss philosophy with Li Daoming mainly to repay him for the information he provided.

Although the information Li Daoming provided seemed to be just useless secrets, it gave her a glimmer of hope: the possibility of reviving her brother.

However, after discussing the Dao, she realized that she owed Li Daoming even more.

Because the principles and methods she demonstrated, and even the secrets of transformation, were not as extensive as those demonstrated by Li Daoming.

Although the two benefited greatly from their discussion, overall, she came out on top.
