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

Chapter 472 Failing to attain enlightenment, accepting disciples
Before long, two more quasi-emperors at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm rushed to the edge of the universe, triggering a great tribulation of enlightenment.

"There are actually three people trying to break through to the Dao. Could it be that three emperors will be revered in this era?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.

"Three emperors sharing the same throne? How is that possible?" A powerful figure who knew the inside story shook his head and said:

"If someone succeeds in attaining the Dao first, the combination of the Emperor's Dao Law and the Heavenly Heart Mark will suppress others, preventing them from attaining the Dao and becoming Emperors."

"I wonder who will succeed in attaining enlightenment and become the first emperor of the post-ancient era!"

"I think the Star God General of the Boundless Holy Court is the most likely candidate."

……

Many people are discussing it and are paying attention to the three people who are preaching through various means.

Three days passed quickly.

With a deafening roar, a cataclysmic light cleaved down, followed by a violent thunderclap that reverberated throughout the universe. Chaos itself was split open, and immeasurable divine tribulations descended, with celestial light engulfing heaven and earth.

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and a figure fighting against the heavenly tribulation exploded, blood mist scattering across the desolate edge of the universe, before its physical body was painstakingly reassembled.

"Why? How can it be so difficult?" The figure asked, his face filled with resentment.

He has already perfected his cultivation of the five great secret realms and has spent another hundred years in seclusion. He is confident that he can integrate the five great secret realms and attain the Dao to become an emperor.

But when he truly faced the great tribulation of attaining enlightenment, he discovered that integrating the five secret realms was not so simple.

He tried his best, but he couldn't get the spinal dragon to rush into the Sendai, let alone integrate the five secret realms and become an emperor.

He persisted for a while longer, but still couldn't get the spinal dragon to rush into the Sendai. He was exhausted and had to sever his connection with the heavenly tribulation, ending this great calamity.

With his failure to attain enlightenment, the other two also used their methods to sever their connection with the heavenly tribulation, thus ending this great calamity.

They were also unable to allow the Great Dragon of the Spine to rush into Sendai and complete the integration of the five secret realms.

They chose to undergo tribulation because others had begun to attain enlightenment, and they had no choice but to take the plunge.

But now that they know there is no hope of success, and that others cannot succeed either, they naturally will no longer persist.

With the three men's failure to attain enlightenment, a massive wave of discussion swept across the entire universe.

Countless people believed that the three Venerables would lead the Dao-attaining beings into the Great Tribulation of Dao Attainment, and that one of them would surely attain the Dao and become an Emperor. However, to everyone's surprise, all three failed, which disappointed and astonished everyone.

At this moment, Li Daoming also turned his gaze over, but only glanced at it before looking away. He had expected this outcome.

He once looked through the river of time and saw a glimpse of the future.

If he hadn't intervened, Wan Qing would still have been the one to attain enlightenment in this lifetime.

Even if he intervenes, before Wan Qing attains enlightenment, if he cultivates a Great Emperor, as long as he doesn't kill Wan Qing, there's a 98% chance that Wan Qing will attain enlightenment and become an Emperor.

Because he observed that all the quasi-emperors in the universe were quite ordinary, and their chances of becoming emperors were extremely slim.

Even if he were to pass on the secret of the word "God" to the few people with the greatest potential to attain enlightenment, allowing them to glimpse the heavenly barrier to achieving enlightenment, they would most likely only become ordinary Great Emperors.

Even if you personally find an unparalleled genius to train, at most you can train a powerful emperor comparable to the Void and the Universe, but it is basically impossible to train a Heavenly Emperor.

But whether it's an ordinary Great Emperor or a powerful Great Emperor, they definitely can't stop Wan Qing. To stop him, only a Great Emperor who has attained the Dao and reached the Heavenly Emperor level can suppress him and prevent him from attaining the Dao.

Therefore, as long as Wan Qing doesn't die, he will definitely be able to prove himself as an emperor. The only difference is whether he proves himself by merging with all the Daos or by breaking through all the Daos. As for Wan Qing's demise? That's impossible.

Because Wan Qing is his disciple, he will not take action against him, nor will he allow anyone to bully him. Moreover, in a contest among peers, no one can bring him down.

Yes, Wan Qing is his disciple!
He once used the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth method to explore the entire ancient Big Dipper star, which naturally included the Qinling Mountains.

Although the Qinling Immortal Transformation Pool was hidden very well, it could not escape his investigation. He successfully found the Chaos Green Lotus Immortal Elixir in the Immortal Transformation Pool.

Having found the Chaos Green Lotus, an elixir of immortality, Li Daoming did not harm it. Instead, he planted it in his own medicinal garden and spent ten years preaching to it, hoping that it could take human form and become an emperor, just like in the original story.

The Azure Emperor in the original work was also incredibly talented, but he was too ambitious. He was only a Great Emperor, yet he wanted to evolve a Celestial Realm in the Desolate Tower. As a result, he failed and his lifespan was nearing its end. He could only make one last attempt to break through the path to immortality, but he failed and died.

With his talent, if he doesn't go astray and chooses the path of immortality in the mortal world, he has a very good chance of succeeding.

Once you've traversed the mortal path to immortality and broken through to the Immortal King realm, you can reclaim the Dao Fruit from your previous life.

With the Dao Fruits of two lifetimes of Immortal Kings combined, there is a high probability that he can break through to the level of a Supreme Immortal King Giant. After a period of seclusion and cultivation, becoming an Emperor Light Immortal King is not difficult, and even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is within reach.

Li Daoming would not be so short-sighted as to ruin such a person for the sake of an immortal herb; on the contrary, he would do his best to cultivate him.

So, more than a hundred years ago, when the Chaos Green Lotus took human form and was born, Li Daoming sensed it through his pre-prepared backup plan and immediately emerged to take him as his disciple.

In Li Daoming's view, taking him as a disciple would be entirely beneficial.

Wan Qing will most likely be able to successfully complete the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World, and may even reach the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor or higher.

If you take him as your apprentice and treat him sincerely, he will definitely be a very good helper.

Not only Wan Qing, but also Ye Fan, whom Li Daoming plans to take as his disciple.

In the original novel, Ye Fan's achievements were too great; he broke through to the level of the Sacrifice Path.

Although he was very confident in himself and felt that he could definitely break through to the Dao of Sacrifice, or even a higher realm, and transcend this world.

But if such a powerful figure can be recruited to one's own camp, then one must definitely recruit him to one's own camp.

He wanted to bring Ye Fan into his camp, because if he couldn't reach the level of breaking through to the Sacrifice Path in the future, he might need Ye Fan to protect him.

If he can break through to the Dao of Sacrifice in the future and transcend this world, who knows what he will face next? Perhaps there will be more powerful and terrifying enemies. Having more disciples with the same stance and strong strength will give him a better chance of establishing himself in the future.

In other words, he transmigrated a bit too late. If he had transmigrated before the Ruthless Empress attained enlightenment, he definitely wouldn't have let the Ruthless Empress and Wu Shi go, and he would have definitely tried to take Wu Shi as his disciple.

Even now, he's still trying to win over the Ruthless Empress and Wushi, hoping to get them to join the Wuji Holy Court.

Of course, that's a story for another time!

At this moment, Li Daoming's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Through the mysterious connection, he looked through the endless void and landed on Wan Qing, who was undergoing training on the ancient starry road.

"You've reached the peak of the Saint King realm; your cultivation speed is quite fast!" Li Daoming nodded slightly, very satisfied with Wan Qing's performance.

Wan Qing has been around for less than 150 years, yet he has already cultivated to the peak of the Saint King realm, only one step away from becoming a Great Saint, and could break through at any time.

Li Daoming believed that he would definitely be able to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level before the age of four hundred, and at most, he would be able to prove himself as an Emperor at the age of six or seven hundred.
