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

Chapter 491 Answering Questions
The flaws of the primary and secondary body secret techniques are negligible to the ruthless empress, but the benefits are real.

If she were willing to cultivate the secret technique of the primary and secondary bodies, she could transform the little girl into a secondary body.

Once the little girl grows up and reaches the same level of cultivation as her, as long as she doesn't try to erase the little girl's consciousness, the little girl will definitely be willing to cooperate with her to reach a higher level.

The ruthless empress's path to immortality in the mortal world is somewhat special. In each life, she sheds an old body. Once she lives out her ninth life and merges all her essences, she can reach the pinnacle of immortality in the mortal world.

However, this is merely the pinnacle of immortality in the mortal world, and cannot reach the ultimate peak of immortality.

If Xiao Nannan also reaches the pinnacle of immortality in the mortal world, the two of them, when united, will surely be able to break through to the ultimate immortal realm.

Even if their realms drop after breaking through to the pinnacle of immortality, having experienced the pinnacle of immortality will make it much easier for them to cultivate back to the pinnacle of immortality. Moreover, after both of them cultivate to the Emperor Light Immortal King level, they can use the same method to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

"What is it?" A cold voice rang out, interrupting Li Daoming's thoughts.

Coming to his senses, Li Daoming said directly, "I want Xiao Nannan to grow up so she can cultivate."

"No!" The ruthless woman frowned. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had some relationship and that she had sparred with him before and was no match for him, she would have already taken action.

He knew perfectly well that Xiao Nannan was indispensable to him, at least for now. Although he wouldn't erase Xiao Nannan's consciousness, he wouldn't sever their connection either, setting her free so she could grow up and cultivate.

"Don't rush to refuse, take a look at this secret technique first!" Li Daoming said with a light laugh, while transmitting the secret technique of the main body and secondary body to the ruthless man with his divine sense.

Having received the secret technique from Li Daoming, the ruthless man fell silent, his face expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

At this moment, she was very hesitant, wondering whether she should practice the secret technique of the primary and secondary bodies.

The message from Li Daoming not only contained the secret technique of the primary and secondary bodies, but also a description of the pinnacle of immortality, and his idea of ​​having her cultivate the secret technique of the primary and secondary bodies.

She was very interested in it!
If the little girl can grow up after practicing the secret techniques of the primary and secondary bodies, it will definitely be of great benefit to her, giving her greater hope to cultivate to a higher level at a faster pace.

But when she thought of Li Daoming, she couldn't help but consider a question: if she gave Xiao Nannan away as a secondary identity, would Li Daoming kidnap her and take advantage of her?

The thought that Xiao Nannan, her second incarnation, might have that kind of thing with Li Daoming made her reluctant to separate Xiao Nannan. If that really happened, she would rather destroy Xiao Nannan than merge with her.

After hesitating for a moment, the ruthless man put aside his concerns and decided to practice the secret technique of separating the main and secondary bodies to separate the little girl.

After separating the little girl, she might be able to cultivate to a level sufficient to revive her brother more quickly.

Moreover, although the little girl has developed self-awareness, she is still immature and naive. As long as she is nurtured and guided and kept away from Li Daoming, such a thing should not happen.

"Thank you!" the ruthless man said, then added with a hint of wariness, "I will cultivate the secret technique of the main body and secondary body in the future to separate Xiao Nannan, but you should try not to have any contact with her."

Seeing the ruthless man and Ye Yixian's defensive expressions, Li Daoming's lips twitched slightly.

Is it necessary to be so wary of him? How could he possibly have such thoughts about a three-year-old girl?

Although he disagreed with their ideas, Li Daoming didn't say anything more, not wanting to provoke the ruthless people. Anyway, he and they were sure to have endless lifespans, and there would be plenty of opportunities to see Xiao Nannan in the future.

Putting aside the matter of the little girl, Li Daoming then revealed his idea of ​​taking Ye Fan as his disciple, who was also a flower similar to Ruthless's brother. "Why?" Ruthless frowned slightly, asking with a hint of confusion.

If that person really was her brother, she could understand it as Li Daoming trying to use him to get closer to her.

But it's just a similar flower, not her brother. Besides, she'll definitely be able to resurrect her brother in the future. Although she might pay some attention to him because of him, she won't really value him.

He should know that!
As for any other reason? She couldn't think of any other reason that would make him take on a disciple.

The glimpse of the future she saw was a flower similar to her brother's, also an ancient sacred body.

While the Ancient Sacred Body possesses considerable talent, it is unlikely to qualify Li Daoming as a disciple of the Boundless Sacred Court.

“I see a glimpse of his future. He may achieve great things and perhaps even be able to stand alongside you as my disciple. He would be qualified,” Li Daoming said.

"Really?" the ruthless man asked doubtfully.

She had some doubts before, that her deduction was wrong, that the person might really be her brother, and not just a similar-looking flower.

“Really!” Li Daoming said earnestly.

"I remember you said before that you wanted to cultivate more strong individuals to face future threats and challenges," Ye Yixian suddenly said, a hint of doubt on her face, and continued:
"I used to think it was to deal with the Undying Emperor and the Emperor, but now the Undying Emperor is dead and the Emperor is no longer a threat."

The strange world is already in your hands. Because of the Undying Emperor, we have some understanding of the Immortal Realm. There should be no one in the Immortal Realm who can stop you and the Boundless Holy Court.

You continue to cultivate more powerful individuals, and you even want us and Wushi to join the Boundless Holy Court. Is there some other threat? Or do you intend to bring everything in the world under the rule of the Boundless Holy Court?

“Uh…” Li Daoming was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ye Yixian to suddenly ask a question.

In Ye Yixian's first life, before she broke through to the Quasi-Emperor level, she was suddenly asked one day why he took so many peerless beauties into his arms and why he was so infatuated with their beauty.
Although he was indeed lustful and beautiful women did fascinate him, he didn't want to ruin his image in front of Ye Yixian, so he said it was to cultivate more strong people to deal with future threats and challenges.

Of course, he wasn't lying to her; he had indeed been training more powerful individuals to face future threats and challenges: the eerie darkness.

He knew that sooner or later, the dark and eerie forces would break through the Heavenly Emperor's blockade, return with a vengeance, and hold a grand sacrifice to destroy everything.

He was satisfied with everything he had and did not want to lose it, so he needed the strength to face the eerie darkness.

However, the strange race has too many powerful individuals. Not only are there many Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors, but there are even more True Immortals and Immortal Kings. Moreover, Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors can quickly revive by relying on the plateau.

He alone cannot block out the eerie darkness; he needs more powerful individuals.

Moreover, it's not just high-level experts like Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors; low-level experts like True Immortals and Immortal Kings also need to join in. Otherwise, a situation will arise where he and some others can hold off the strange and dark forces of the same level, but the people below can't stop them and are wiped out by a raid.

Then their bloody battles with powerful figures of the same level from the mysterious and dark side would be meaningless.
