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

Chapter 643 Hidden Secrets
But something felt off. If he was only a late-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor, how could he classify Quasi-Immortal Emperors in such detail? And how could a peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a half-step Immortal Emperor, have such a deep understanding of them? It was as if he had personally experienced it?
She felt that only someone at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, and even more so someone who had broken into the Immortal Emperor realm and survived, or even a higher level like a Half-Step Immortal Emperor or an Immortal Emperor, could have such a clear and profound understanding of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

"When I first broke through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, I was considered to be in the late stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. As for now, I am at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor!" Li Daoming did not hide anything.

However, just as he had previously explained his classification as a celestial emperor, he did not reveal his cultivation level to anyone present.

Although he spoke up and didn't hide anything, not everyone could hear what he said. Only Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian could hear it.

When the seven of them spoke, only they and he could hear them.

Even the lowest-ranking among them has reached the level of a Supreme Immortal King, and it won't be long before they break through to the Emperor Light Immortal King level.

Moreover, they have all opened up their own sixth secret realm. As long as they do not slack off in their cultivation, they can break through to the half-step quasi-immortal emperor in a maximum of 600,000 years, and reach the level of an ordinary quasi-immortal emperor in a maximum of 1 million years.

Although he may not necessarily be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor level afterward, under his tutelage, there is still hope, and he will be qualified enough to understand the mysteries and classifications of Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

As for the others present, although many of them have already broken through to the Immortal King level, and some are even not far from becoming Supreme Immortal King giants, they may not be able to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level without opening up their own sixth secret realm.

If you can't break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, there's no need to know too much about the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, he does not intend to reveal his strength to the public, but rather to keep a portion of it hidden.

In this way, they can buy themselves more time after the eerie darkness descends.

Even if they can't delay any longer, they can unleash their full power to repel or even kill all the invading, eerie dark powerhouses, and then retreat and hide in peace.

However, if he were to align himself with the Celestial Emperor classification and reveal his cultivation level to everyone present, it would be impossible to hide it at all.

Although everyone here is his woman, and most of them have cultivated with him, when he cultivated with them, their yin and yang were in harmony, and their minds and spirits were intertwined, he could vaguely sense their hearts and know their feelings for him by virtue of his higher realm.

Although the vast majority of people admired, respected, and loved him and were devoted to him, not everyone was like that.

Some women were willing to become his women primarily for the sake of his spiritual path; others were willing to become his women primarily for the sake of their families or the power they belonged to; some, though not daring to refuse his absurdities, harbored some displeasure towards him; and still others, for various other reasons, while not easily betraying him, did not harbor any affection for him...

They are not immune to the possibility of betrayal!
Moreover, even if they all worship, admire, love, and are loyal to him, it's useless. He's weak, and unless they don't know the secret, they can't keep it.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn't tell everyone present what he wanted to hide.

Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, seeing that he didn't tell everyone, naturally knew that he didn't want it to be spread, and naturally they would do the same to prevent others from hearing their conversation.

"He broke through to the late Quasi-Immortal Emperor stage, and after more than ten thousand years of cultivation, he reached the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Is this the benefit of accumulating enough knowledge to break through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor naturally?" Ye Yixian asked doubtfully. If so, then she really needed to consider whether she should follow Li Daoming's example, perfecting her Dao Fruit to the point where she could break through with a single thought, cultivating her physical body and primordial spirit to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and then breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Even with Li Daoming's help, it would still take at least one or two million years, or even longer, to cultivate to this level.

However, if one can reach the late stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor and then break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor after cultivating for a while, it may not be a bad deal.

“No!” Li Daoming shook his head slightly, seemingly understanding Ye Yixian’s thoughts, and then continued:
"Even if you follow the steps to fully integrate the sixth secret realm with the five great secret realms, and your physical body and primordial spirit, and cultivate your Dao fruit and physical body and primordial spirit to the level of a quasi-immortal emperor before breaking through to the quasi-immortal emperor level, you will probably only be an ordinary quasi-immortal emperor after breaking through to the quasi-immortal emperor level."

At most, he'll advance some distance from the level of an ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperor, getting closer to the late-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but how long it will take to break through to the late-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor is unknown, and it might not be possible to break through in a short time!

What Li Daoming didn't say at this time was that his ability to reach the late stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor upon breakthrough was not only due to his deep accumulation, but more importantly, to the dual Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits.

If he only had one Dao Fruit, even if he had accumulated a great deal of knowledge and his Dao Fruit and physical body and primordial spirit had reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level ahead of time, he would most likely only be an ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperor after breaking through, at most very close to the late Quasi-Immortal Emperor stage, and could break through to the late Quasi-Immortal Emperor stage after cultivating for a period of time.

However, he possessed two Dao Fruits, which simultaneously transformed and sublimated to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. This already generated countless inspirations, and the collision and mutual reflection of the two Dao Fruits further enlightened him, leading him into a state of sudden enlightenment.

He took a step directly into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, undergoing a complete transformation, and continued to travel a considerable distance afterward.

That's why he was able to spend over ten thousand years sorting out everything about himself and perfecting every aspect to the extreme before taking another step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm and undergoing another ultimate transformation.

It's no exaggeration to say that without the dual Dao Fruits, without the inspiration generated by their simultaneous transformation and sublimation, leading to enlightenment, and without the subsequent ten thousand years of enlightenment and refinement, he would not have been able to reach his current level.

Even if Ye Yixian and the others have accumulated a great deal of knowledge, could they possibly have accumulated more than him?

With a single Dao Fruit, after breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it is almost impossible to directly advance further in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm and undergo a complete transformation.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, and the other six gave Li Daoming a deep look, but did not ask him why he could directly reach the late stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor after breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and then reach the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor after only a little over ten thousand years of cultivation.

If he wanted to tell them, and if he could tell them, he would tell them himself.

If he doesn't want to tell them, or can't let them know, they don't want to ask and put him in a difficult position.

In fact, they had always known that Li Daoming had a secret. In fact, not only they knew, but the Ruthless Empress and Wu Shi also had some guesses.

Li Daoming knows too much, knows many things he shouldn't know, and is too mysterious; he has accomplished things he shouldn't have accomplished.
