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

Chapter 488 Little Girl

Moreover, after transforming into a mortal immortal, he underwent an unimaginable transformation. Not only did his cultivation and strength become stronger, but his life essence was also enhanced, enabling him to truly become equal to the Great Universe.

This greatly enhanced his aptitude and comprehension, making it easier for him to grasp the profound laws of the universe hidden deep within its origin.

Before that, he needed to perfect and elevate the remaining thousand-plus Great Dao Laws to the Ultimate Dao level, which would take at least fifty to sixty thousand years.

But now it won't take that long. He is confident that he can perfect and sublimate all three thousand laws to the ultimate level in at most forty thousand years.

Furthermore, his current understanding of the Great Dao is no longer limited to the human realm; his mind can sense the operation of the more deeply hidden rules of the heavens.

Although the rules of the heavens are hidden even deeper, even if he becomes an immortal in the mortal world, he can only sense them, and it is still very difficult to comprehend them.

However, he believed that after several more transformations and improvements in his cultivation, he would definitely be able to clearly sense and comprehend the rules of the heavens, thereby perfecting his own Dao and Dharma and enhancing his cultivation.

"Really?" Xia Qinghuang and the other women showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"But you're only in your sixth life, how did you suddenly become an immortal in the mortal world?" Xin Hua asked doubtfully.

“That was indeed a mistake in my previous speculation!” Li Daoming replied, not bothering to conceal his error, and directly explained his new discoveries about the Immortal Path in the Mortal World and the more complete theory of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World that he had deduced.

"I see. Does that mean we might need to live more than nine lifetimes to become immortals in the mortal world?" Some people frowned.

According to Li Daoming's more comprehensive theory of immortality in the mortal world, if a being's life essence at the ultimate level is one to several, then to become an immortal in the mortal world, it needs to undergo a transformation and upgrade to more than one hundred.

Those with profound foundations, such as Wushi and Wanqing, started from a very high level and had extremely strong comprehension. Even if they used the same transformation method, because of their deeper understanding and more accumulation, they would improve more after transformation and sublimation. If they wanted to become immortals in the mortal world, they would most likely not need to undergo eight transformations and live out their ninth life.

Those who originally lacked deep foundations, such as these people, had a lower starting point and their understanding of the Transformation Method was far inferior to that of Wushi and others. They also had less accumulation before each transformation, and the improvement they gained from each transformation was certainly less. They would need to undergo more transformations to become immortals in the mortal world.

"That's not necessarily true. As long as you don't take shortcuts during your transformation, even if you include the one with the immortal medicine, living nine lifetimes will be enough for you to become immortals in the mortal world."

Of course, if we include the life they lived in with the elixir of immortality, and they lived nine lifetimes to become immortals in the mortal world, they could only reach the initial stage of immortality at most, and might not even be as good as the immortal emperor in the original story.

If we don't count the elixir of immortality, and they lived nine lifetimes to reach the pinnacle of immortality in the mortal world, they could definitely surpass the Immortal Emperor in the original story, but they would most likely still be inferior to Wu Shi, Ye Fan, and others who reached the pinnacle of immortality in the mortal world.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daoming wanted to tell the women about the mysteries of the Mortal World Immortal.

After a moment's hesitation, he led everyone to the Divine Ruins, gathered all the emperors, and then began to explain his new understanding of the Mortal Realm Immortals and their mysteries.

……

Time flies, and the wheels of history keep turning forward. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed.

Sensing something in the depths of his heart, Li Daoming ended his secluded cultivation and looked up towards the direction of the ancient primordial star.

After pondering for a moment, he focused most of his mind on the broken jade and immersed himself in enlightenment. He then left the gentle embrace of the world, departed from the Boundless Star Domain, and came alone to the Ancient Star of the Big Dipper.

Yes, it was the ancient star of the Big Dipper, not the ancient star of the Primordial Era he had previously looked towards. He naturally intended to go to the ancient star of the Primordial Era, but it wasn't the right time yet. Upon arriving at the ancient star of the Big Dipper, Li Daoming did not unfold the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth as usual to cover the entire star. Instead, he adjusted his state, approaching emptiness and tranquility, without joy or sorrow, and appeared in various places throughout the world, walking among the myriad worlds of the mortal realm.

While experiencing the mortal world, he followed his own senses and walked in one direction, eventually arriving at a small town in the Wei Kingdom of the Eastern Wilderness.

Li Daoming did not fly, but slowly walked into the not-so-magnificent city.

Although this was just a small city in the Eastern Wilderness Wei Kingdom, it was very prosperous. Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, Li Daoming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, he has had less and less contact with the mortal world, mostly staying in seclusion on the Undying Mountain to cultivate, occasionally listening to the women play the zither, watching them sing and dance, tasting delicious food, and cultivating with them...

Because he was surrounded by many beautiful women, he was not lonely at all, but rather thoroughly enjoyed his time.

But as time went by, he began to miss the ordinary, bustling, and prosperous world. Seeing this vibrant and bustling metropolis now made him feel very welcome.

"Golden candied dates, big and sweet."

"Crispy chicken wings, no charge if they don't taste good."

"Li's soup dumplings have thin skin, generous filling, and are juicy and delicious. Come and try them!"

"Tanghulu, a string for only one copper coin."

The sounds of hawking and selling filled the air, and at street corners, various street performers attracted large crowds of adults and children. In front of each shop, enthusiastic shop assistants were trying to lure customers in, showering them with sweet words.

Li Daoming strolled around the streets for a while, enjoying the lively atmosphere, before heading towards his destination.

"Brother... I'm hungry. Buy me a bun to eat. Please, I'm very hungry."

As Li Daoming approached, a pitiful little girl, covered in dirt, blinked her big eyes and looked up at him. Her clothes were tattered and her face was covered in grime, but her eyes were bright and clear.

"Sigh!" Li Daoming sighed softly, unsure of what to say. He couldn't bear to see such a scene and always felt a pang of pity whenever he encountered it.

The ruthless empress had lived through her sixth life long ago and had escaped that flawed state. However, it seems to be related to her cultivation that she did not take back the little girl with the Dao Fruit and kept letting her wander around.

When he first traveled through the mortal world on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, he encountered the little girl and was somewhat surprised, suspecting that the ruthless empress's cultivation had encountered problems again, but it turned out that there were no problems.

"Okay, big brother will buy it for you!" Li Daoming bought a few steaming hot soup dumplings from the steamed bun shop next door and ate them with the little girl.

They took her to the inn and arranged for someone to wash her up, transforming her from a dirty little beggar into a beautiful and adorable little fairy.

He then used his methods to help her remember her memories with him and stop her from losing her memory every now and then. He accompanied the little girl on her travels and play for more than a month before bringing her to the desolate forbidden land.

"Big brother, can we not go there?" The little girl looked at Li Daoming with a pitiful expression.

She remembered it; it had happened several times already. Once she entered this place and saw the woman who made her feel close, she would be separated from her older brother. She didn't want to be separated!
