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

Chapter 605 Desiring to Venture into the Ultimate Ancient Land
Although many Celestial Kings knew the reason why they could not improve, it was of no use.

The obstacle of perception cannot be overcome simply by knowing that it exists.

The only way to break through the barriers of preconceived notions is through a sudden flash of inspiration.

Of course, if someone understands their fundamental problems and shortcomings, and the direction they should take, and can guide them through their confusion, it may help them break through the barriers of limited knowledge.

However, this is extremely difficult. They are all Immortal Kings, standing at the pinnacle of all the heavens and worlds. Even Immortal Kings with much higher realms than them would find it difficult to see through the problems and flaws in their Great Dao and the direction of their transformation, and naturally it would be difficult for them to guide them.

Only a quasi-immortal emperor or an immortal emperor of a higher realm could provide them with guidance from a superior perspective.

Moreover, even if someone at a higher level offers guidance, it may only help them break through the barriers of their own understanding, but it doesn't guarantee that they will be able to do so.

Those who have reached their level of spiritual cultivation are very idealistic and self-centered.

Perhaps some people think that such a path is wrong or flawed, but others may not.

For example, in his view, the Great Way is the most compassionate even when it is ruthless, and being heartless is a wrong path. But being compassionate, heartless, and heartless are all part of the Way, and a wrong path is not necessarily a wrong path.

Having learned the reason why so many Immortal Kings found it difficult to improve their cultivation, Li Daoming sighed softly.

Although he derived three thousand great Daos from the Dao of Yin and Yang, and merged the three thousand great Daos back into Yin and Yang, he had a profound understanding of all the great Daos in the world. He had even briefly stood at a higher realm and gained insights into a higher realm, and was able to guide many Immortal Kings, he had ultimately not yet completely stepped into the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The guidance from many Celestial Kings will have an effect, but the specific effect will likely vary from person to person.

Moreover, Li Daoming also had some insights at this time. No wonder many immortal kings were easily convinced by him after discussing the Dao with him and listening to his guidance.

After he gave them guidance, most of them made some progress, though the progress varied in size. For someone at their level, even making a little progress was extremely difficult.

It's not surprising that they joined his camp so that they could still receive his guidance and continue to improve.

Not to mention that some of them broke through their previous barriers of knowledge and understood the direction of their own path forward.

Although they cannot achieve immediate breakthroughs, it will not be long before their cultivation level reaches a higher level—at least tens of thousands of years, and at most one or two hundred thousand years.

Once you break through, as long as you don't encounter any more bottlenecks, you can continue your cultivation smoothly.

Such a great favor, though it cannot make them completely obedient, would not mind having him as their leader as long as their bottom line is not crossed.

Moreover, he was born in this era and has already cultivated to the level of Emperor Light Immortal King.

Among the many Immortal Kings of the Immortal Alliance, if we were to say who has the best chance of breaking through from King to Emperor, it would undoubtedly be him.

If he can break through to the King Realm, with his guidance in cultivation, they might also have a chance to break through to a higher realm in the future.

Of course, this is also because the Celestial Kings that Li Daoming chose to befriend were all Celestial Kings with guaranteed character and integrity; otherwise, they might not have remembered this favor.

At this moment, Li Daoming also felt a little regretful. Although many Immortal Kings had made some progress after being guided by him, there were also many Immortal Kings who still gained nothing after being guided by him.

Otherwise, the number of Celestial Kings who were impressed by him and willing to follow him as their leader would definitely be more than eighty.

Moreover, if they all gain something, or even break through their bottlenecks and become stronger, they will be able to play a greater role in the future.

However, Li Daoming quickly dismissed his regret. The Great Dao is only for me, the Great Dao is only for the mind. It is impossible for him to share the same ideals as everyone. The path he pointed out just happened to be in line with the Dao hearts of those Immortal Kings. There was no use in thinking so much.

Although Li Daoming was lost in thought, he showed no sign of it on his face and continued chatting with the various immortal kings.

After chatting for a while, Li Daoming and many other Immortal Kings intended to leave. After one of the Immortal Kings said he wanted to leave, Li Daoming also wanted to say goodbye.

Suddenly, Cangwu, a supreme immortal king from the Hongyuan faction, stepped forward. "Fellow Daoists, please wait. I have something I wish to discuss with you all," Cangwu said.

"What do you want to discuss with us?" Di Xuan asked with a hint of doubt.

The other Celestial Kings also looked at Cangwu with suspicion, and those who were about to leave also stopped in their tracks.

To be honest, they were quite curious about what Cangwu wanted to discuss with them.

Once one cultivates to the level of a Celestial King, as long as one does not violate their mutual agreement, one can be virtually unrestricted and generally does not need to consult with them on any matters.

Now that Cangwu wants to discuss things with them, the matter is probably not insignificant.

"I want to join forces with all of you fellow Daoists to venture into the Ultimate Ancient Land again, to break through the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and to enter the world beyond the sword light," Cangwu said calmly and firmly.

"What? Cangwu, have you gone mad?" Di Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Did they ever have the idea of ​​venturing into the ultimate ancient land, passing through the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and entering the world beyond the sword light?

That's beyond doubt! They not only had the idea, they even tried it.

At the end of the last era, the Desolate Emperor quelled the dark turmoil, leaving behind a sword light that shone brightly, severing all ages.

Following their unseen intuition, they arrived at the edge of the Boundary Sea and saw the sword light.

In order to break through the King and become an Emperor, all the Immortal Kings comprehended this sword light.

Some Immortal Kings gained some insights and made further progress in their cultivation and strength, but many Immortal Kings gained nothing, and none of them broke through from King to Emperor.

In order to break through the King-to-Emperor barrier, many Immortal Kings ventured into the Ultimate Ancient Land, hoping to pass through this sword light, enter a higher level of world, and seek the opportunity to break through the King-to-Emperor barrier.

After many Immortal Kings entered the Ultimate Ancient Land, they discovered that different levels of strength would result in sword lights of varying power descending upon powerful individuals. The stronger the individual, the more powerful the sword light that descended.

Five or six hundred Immortal Kings of the Immortal Alliance, including Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and six supreme Immortal King giants, have all set foot in the Ultimate Ancient Land.

Through their own experience, more than a dozen Immortal Kings perished, including two Immortal King giants. They dispatched many cultivators below the Immortal King level to investigate, and they discovered some patterns.

Whenever someone cultivates and enters the ultimate ancient land, sword light will strike them.

Faced with the sword light slashing down on them, even the strongest would be severely injured, and a few might even die.

After the first sword light struck, they had one breath to retreat from the Ultimate Ancient Land.

If you do not withdraw, another sword light will descend from the void, and no matter your strength, you will surely die.

After discovering this pattern, many Celestial Kings knew that they would not be able to get through alone.

Therefore, Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and others tried to join forces.

But it was no use. No matter how many powerful people rushed in, there would be just as many sword lights falling down. Even if they joined forces to resist, they couldn't stop them.

Despite this, the many immortal kings did not give up. After some discussion, they jointly devised a grand formation of ten thousand immortals, which integrates the principles of the universe, the three powers, the four symbols, the five elements, the six harmonies, the seven stars, the eight trigrams, the nine palaces, and the ten directions.

The more powerful individuals participate in setting up the formation, the stronger its power will be.
