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

Chapter 604 Obstacles in Knowledge and Vision

After sparring with Hongyuan, Li Daoming then sparred with six supreme immortal kings.

Although the six supreme immortal kings joined forces, their strength far surpassed Hongyuan's, and even exceeded Dixuan's.

However, for Li Daoming, dealing with the six people working together was much easier than dealing with Di Xuan.

Without using the upgraded version of the Limitless Emperor Fist, he simply cannot defeat Di Xuan in a short period of time.

However, he could easily separate and defeat the six supreme immortal kings one by one using his spacetime magic.

Having successively defeated Di Xuan and Hong Yuan, the six supreme Immortal King giants joined forces, and many Immortal Kings looked at Li Daoming with a change in their gaze, now filled with a hint of awe and fervor.

Many celestial kings stepped forward, wanting to befriend Li Daoming and discuss the Dao and profound mysteries.

Li Daoming welcomed all comers, and for the immortal kings he admired, he would talk to them at length while trying to win them over.

As for those he looked down upon, such as those immortal kings who had become cold and ruthless, those immortal kings who regarded all living beings as ants, and those immortal kings of bad character, he would chat with them and try to exchange scriptures and secret techniques with them.

Although he looked down on them somewhat and would make proper arrangements for them in the future, he was still very interested in the scriptures and secret techniques they possessed that were not kept in the library.

If he could obtain their scriptures and secret techniques, it would certainly be of great benefit to his own perfection of Tao and Dharma.

After talking with many immortal kings for more than half a month, he won over more than twenty immortal kings and obtained many scriptures and secret techniques in return.

Li Daoming agreed to attend the Immortal Kings' Dao Discussion Conference several hundred years later, then bid farewell to the kings and returned to the Yin-Yang Chaos Cave he had evolved.

Upon returning to the Yin-Yang Chaos Wasteland, Li Daoming did not immediately suppress the Yin-Yang Chaos, nor did he absorb the power devoured and smelted by the Yin-Yang Chaos to replenish the damage to his Immortal King Heart.

Instead, through some unseen connection, it contacted the original being and transmitted back all the scriptures and secret techniques it had acquired, as well as everything that had recently happened.

Centuries later, the discourse platform
"The interplay of Yin and Yang is called the Dao. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these two forces."

"Yin and Yang are the symbols of the sun and moon!"

"Yin and Yang are the pivot of Heaven and Earth!"

"Yin and Yang represent the mechanism of movement and stillness!"

"Yin and Yang are the forms of emptiness and fullness."

"When Yin and Yang are in harmony, all things are born."

……

Li Daoming sat high on the Taoist platform, uttering Taoist chants that resounded throughout the ages.

As he spoke, the Yin-Yang Dao evolved, manifesting all things, laws, and paths in the world. All opposing forces in the world transformed into one another, waxing and waning, interacting and balancing.

There is the withering and flourishing of plants, the alternation of life and death, the rotation of the sun and moon, the alternation of movement and stillness, the transformation of reality and illusion, the birth and death of the universe, and the changes of time and space...

The Great Dao of Yin and Yang is profound and mysterious, seemingly the root of all Daos and the source of all Daos, containing all the mysteries of the world.

It wasn't just Li Daoming who spoke; more than five hundred Immortal Kings, each occupying a Dao platform, also spoke, uttering Dao sounds and demonstrating their own Great Dao.

As more than five hundred celestial kings began to discuss the Dao, a thunderous celestial sound resounded, seemingly spreading throughout the past, present, and future, causing time to change.

It seems that this ancient history transcends the river of time, forming a realm of Taoism independent of time and space.

Within the Dao Domain, countless Great Daos manifest and collide, and endless Daoist rhythms flow, as if it were the source of the Dao.

It is no exaggeration to say that any human being here could instantly attain enlightenment, have their Dao heart clear under the cleansing of the Dao sound, and break through their cultivation level.

Even powerful beings at the Immortal Realm can hear the Dao's sound and enter into enlightenment, greatly advancing their cultivation. However, when many Immortal Kings discuss the Dao, the Great Dao is unfathomably profound, and human beings, upon spiritual enlightenment, are easily transformed into Dao, unable to remain for long.

Otherwise, after listening to the discussions of many immortal kings, it wouldn't be impossible to break through several major realms in succession.

While expounding their own Great Dao, the various Immortal Kings also comprehended the Great Daos as interpreted by other Immortal Kings.

Time flew by as they discussed the Dao, and soon five thousand years had passed.

"Yin and Yang give rise to myriad paths, and all paths return to Yin and Yang. Everything in the world is Yin and Yang!" Li Daoming uttered the last Daoist phrase and then ceased demonstrating his own Yin-Yang Dao.

At this moment, many Immortal Kings also restrained their own Great Dao and ceased their manifestations.

Although the discussion on the Dao had ended, many of the Immortal Kings did not leave, nor did they even wake up. They were all meditating with their eyes closed, comprehending the Great Dao as interpreted by the other Immortal Kings.

Several hundred years passed before a Celestial King awoke and emerged from the state of enlightenment. Nearly a thousand years later, all the Celestial Kings awoke and ended their enlightenment.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji's Yin-Yang Dao is indeed profound and unfathomable!" Di Xuan exclaimed.

"It is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, and I have benefited greatly from it!" Hongyuan also said.

Upon seeing this, many immortal kings also agreed.

"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me!" Li Daoming said calmly, not taking the praise from the many Immortal Kings to heart.

His Yin-Yang Dao is indeed profound and mysterious, but aren't the Daos of other Immortal Kings also profound and mysterious? If they weren't, they wouldn't have been able to break through to the Immortal King realm.

Of course, although they are equally profound and mysterious, their Dao is still far inferior to his Dao of Yin and Yang.

However, at this moment, Li Daoming also had some doubts. More than 500 Immortal Kings held a Dao discussion every 100,000 years, and each discussion lasted for 5,000 years, so as to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.

Millions of years have passed since then, and the topic has been discussed dozens of times.

After such a long time and so many discussions, many Immortal Kings should have made great progress and it would be normal for them to break through one or two levels. So how come there are still so many ordinary Immortal Kings and top Immortal Kings?

Could it be that they gained very little from their discussion?

With doubts in his heart, Li Daoming secretly sent a telepathic message to some of the Immortal Kings in his own camp and quickly received a reply. Li Daoming immediately understood.

No wonder so many immortal kings have discussed the Dao so many times, yet their cultivation has still not broken through.

Once you've reached the Immortal King realm, the key to breaking through to the next level lies not in your physical body and primordial spirit, but in the Great Dao of the Immortal King.

If the Great Dao is perfected, sublimated, and transformed, both the physical body and the primordial spirit will become stronger, and the strength will naturally reach a higher level. If the Great Dao does not progress, it will be difficult for the physical body and the primordial spirit to become stronger.

However, perfecting, sublimating, and transforming the Great Dao is not so easy, especially for many Immortal Kings.

Because of their fixed mindset, or rather, their limited understanding, they perceive their own path to enlightenment as perfect and flawless. Since it is perfect and flawless, they naturally cannot find any room for improvement.

If you can't find areas for improvement, how can you talk about perfection and sublimation?

Therefore, even if they discuss the Dao with other Immortal Kings and comprehend their Dao, they cannot find the flaws in their own Dao. Without a direction for the sublimation and transformation of their own Dao, it is difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation and strength.

This is also why many strong individuals are more likely to improve in life-or-death battles.

In a life-or-death battle, potential is unleashed, thinking runs at lightning speed, and having an opponent makes it easier to see one's own shortcomings, improve those shortcomings, and naturally make rapid progress.

However, relying solely on themselves, their thinking has become fixed, and they are hindered by their own limited perspectives, making it impossible for them to recognize their own shortcomings.
