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

Chapter 476 Freedom of Choice
After a long while, the lightning gradually dissipated, and the great calamity came to an end.

The mysterious woman overcame the tribulation of attaining the Dao. Her five secret realms were completely integrated into one, she formed a celestial embryo, achieved the ultimate leap, ascended above all paths, merged with the will of Heaven, and became the Emperor!

At this moment, a vast aura swept across the four seas and eight wastelands, the nine heavens and ten earths.

Many powerful beings in the universe could sense that the myriad paths of heaven and earth had changed. A terrifying imperial law had merged with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, suppressing all laws and paths in the world and preventing all living beings from attaining enlightenment.

……

Deep within the Boundless Holy Court, Mount Undying
"Congratulations on finally achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor!" Li Daoming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a comforting smile.

"Even if you attain the Dao and become an Emperor, what does that mean to you?" The mysterious woman, Xuan Wan, gently shook her head.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down like a waterfall, its black strands swaying gently in the wind, exuding a natural fragrance that seemed to tell of her endless charm.

Her eyes were as deep as the sea, shimmering with astonishing celestial radiance. With every gesture, the myriad paths of heaven and earth seemed to follow her, as if a celestial maiden had descended to earth, her beauty unparalleled.

However, at this moment, a faint sense of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She originally thought that by attaining enlightenment and becoming an emperor, she could narrow the gap between herself and the Heavenly Emperor and make him take her seriously.

Unexpectedly, before she attained enlightenment, she couldn't withstand a single move from him; even after attaining enlightenment and becoming an emperor, she still couldn't withstand a single move from him.

She felt like she had finally achieved her goal!
At the same time, one can't help but feel moved, for the Heavenly Emperor truly is the most incredible myth and legend in ancient history.

The might of the Heavenly Emperor is immeasurable!

"The Great Emperor is nothing to me! But only those who can prove their Dao and become Emperors can continue on their path, can follow me, and have the right to be respected by me," Li Daoming said with a faint smile.

He is a man who loves beautiful women, from beginning to end.

Before attaining enlightenment, although he enjoyed beautiful women, his sense of urgency led him to focus more on cultivation.

After he attained enlightenment, he no longer felt a sense of urgency. He also accepted Si Qi, Zi Wei, and others, and nurturing them was of great benefit to his cultivation. So he completely let go.

He would never refuse any exceptionally beautiful and talented woman who willingly devoted herself to him.

After destroying the two forbidden zones of life, he raised the standards for recruiting cultivators to the Wuji Holy Court to an extremely high level. Because of this, he could take a liking to any female cultivator who met the Wuji Holy Court's recruitment standards.

Of course, as mentioned before, he has no shortage of stunning beauties, so he will not force or threaten them, giving them the freedom to choose whether or not they wish to serve him and become his women.

If they are willing to serve him and become his women, he will give them better treatment and more resources.

If they are unwilling, he will not target them or treat them differently, nor will he offer them better benefits; they will simply be treated the same as other cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court.

Perhaps it's because he created one legend after another, inspiring admiration, or perhaps it's because becoming his woman allows one to cultivate to a higher realm.

Nearly half of the female cultivators who meet the standards of the Wuji Holy Court and join the court are willing to serve him and become his women.

Even in later cultivation, when they encountered insurmountable bottlenecks, many changed their minds. Although the Boundless Holy Court recruited few cultivators, and even fewer female cultivators, there were still dozens of female cultivators willing to serve him every ten thousand years.

Thousands of years ago, he openly led many powerful figures from the Wuji Holy Court into the strange world. After that, many more female cultivators recruited by the Wuji Holy Court were willing to serve him and become his women.

Especially in the last few hundred years, with the advent of the Golden Age, many geniuses have been born in the universe. The Boundless Holy Court has recruited more than 300 people, of whom more than 100 are female cultivators. More than 80% of them, nearly 100 female cultivators, are willing to become his women.

As for Li Daoming's apparent absence from the human realm, and his desire to avoid being exposed?
This is not a big problem. Everyone in the Boundless Holy Court knows that the Heavenly Emperor has not abandoned the Boundless Holy Court in the human realm. One day in the future, the Heavenly Emperor will open the passage between the two realms again and guide all the cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court to the strange world.

Over the past eighty or ninety thousand years, Li Daoming has slept with several hundred peerless beauties and proud daughters of heaven, though not as many as a thousand.

That is to say, he has achieved great success in his cultivation, and he can remember even the smallest things clearly without forgetting the slightest detail. Otherwise, he might have forgotten about them.

Although he will not forget them, with so many people, not everyone can stay by his side forever and make him take them seriously.

The only people who could stay by his side and be taken seriously were those who were still on the path of immortality in the mortal world and had not failed. The only people he truly valued and cared about were Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua.

As for the other women, to put it bluntly, he only had lust for them, not affection. Even if they died in an accident, he wouldn't necessarily be very sad.

After taking Wan Qing as his disciple, he wanted to cultivate a Great Emperor before Wan Qing attained enlightenment, so that Wan Qing could destroy all paths to attain enlightenment.

If she can seize this opportunity, stand out from the many female cultivators, receive his great guidance, and become an emperor, she can embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

Although embarking on the path to immortality in the mortal world is not guaranteed to be successful, it is not guaranteed that one can always stay by his side and earn his respect.

Even if that path doesn't work out, she can stay by his side for longer, live several more lifetimes with his help, greatly increase her own aptitude and potential, and have the hope of cultivating to a higher realm in the future, so that he won't "forget" her.

"Only by proving oneself as an emperor can one continue on this path? There really is a path beyond the Great Emperor. Are you so strong because you have found the path to continue? And are you really not an immortal yet?..." Xuan Wan could no longer remain calm and asked a series of questions.

"There is indeed a path after the Great Emperor. Before the world is destroyed, the Great Emperor is followed by the True Immortal. As long as one cultivates to a certain level, one can undergo the True Immortal Tribulation. Once one passes through it, one can break through to the True Immortal realm."

But now that heaven and earth are broken, it is no longer possible to summon the True Immortal Tribulation, so it is impossible to break through to the True Immortal realm. If one wants to become an immortal, the only way is to transform in the mortal world and live nine lifetimes in reverse in the mortal world to become an immortal.

......"

Li Daoming did not hide anything and told her all the secrets that were not secrets among the many emperors of the Wuji Holy Court.

For example, many emperors of the Boundless Holy Court have embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world. Some are still on their way, currently in the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, while others have failed and have gone to strange worlds.

For example, he ostensibly went to the strange world, but in reality he was still in the human realm, in order to lure the Empress, a big fish, and prevent her from revealing anything about it.

For example, there are many methods for transforming oneself in the mortal world, including the True Phoenix Nirvana Method and the Chaos Divine Embryo Method...

……

She has already attained the Dao and become an Emperor, and is qualified to know the secrets that can be known at this level.
