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

Chapter 682 Marriage
Because five thousand years ago, when he sealed and captured the ruthless empress, he did indeed secretly use methods against her when he kissed and bullied her.

With mysterious and unpredictable mental power, he disturbed her mind, blurring her aversion to him, especially his debauchery with Xia Qinghuang and his many concubines.

At the same time, it amplified her unusual feelings for him and deepened her affection for him.

He then conveyed to her some images and feelings of his dual cultivation with Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, arousing the desires buried deep in her heart and deepening his impression on her.

……

Only then can he easily kiss her until she is infatuated and fall in love with him.

Otherwise, even if he were to kiss and bully her for a hundred or a thousand years, all he would ever receive in return would be coldness, disgust, and murderous intent. She could control her body and not react in the slightest, and would never fall into infatuation.

Otherwise, even if she has some feelings for him, it is far from enough to make her fall in love with him.

If he were to use underhanded tactics on her and influence her mind to the point that she becomes aware of it, she would definitely be furious and would most likely go back on her word and refuse to marry him as agreed.

Fortunately, although he influenced her mind while kissing and taking advantage of her, he did not control or change her mind. After breaking the seal on her physical body and spiritual cultivation, he did not use his mental power to continue influencing her mind.

Because he was unwilling to control or change her mind, nor was he willing to continue to influence her mind.

Control has altered her mind, completely clouding it. Unless she can break free from his control and awaken to her true self, her potential will be greatly reduced. Forget about achieving the Dao-sacrificing potential; she might not even be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

If he doesn't remove the influence that has been affecting her soul, her soul will also be clouded, and her future achievements will be limited.

Moreover, when she breaks through to a higher level, or is stimulated or moved, she may break through his mental power.

At that time, she realized that her mind had been blinded and influenced by him all along, and she was determined to fight him to the death. Even if she died in battle, she would never want to be blinded and influenced by him again.

So even if he removes the seal on her physical body and spiritual cultivation, and no longer affects her mind, it might cause her feelings for him to fade, it might make her feel even more disgusted and repulsed by him, and she might sever her ties with him and regret marrying him.

But he still didn't continue to influence her mind, letting her decide based on her own heart.

It was precisely because her mind remained unaffected when she carefully examined herself that she discovered nothing.

Otherwise, unless he manipulates and alters her mind to make her ignore the problem, she might actually discover something amiss if she gives up suppressing the intense internal conflict and uses all her mental energy to investigate. That would be a huge problem for him!

Unaware that he had dodged a major problem, Li Daoming waited with a smile for the ruthless empress to emerge from seclusion.

Although he didn't wait long, only a few hours, which was just a moment compared to the long years he had lived, he felt as if each second was an eternity, feeling both anxious and expectant.

With a soft "bang," the ruthless empress stepped out of the palace.

Her white robes fluttered as she hovered in mid-air, her beauty beyond description, like an unreal being descended from the very edge of the celestial realm, flawless and without a single imperfection. Her eyes shimmered like the cosmos, transcending earthly beauty and embodying the essence of heaven and earth. She was not merely ethereal or delicate, nor simply a fragile fairy; rather, she possessed the aura of an empress, surveying the past, present, and future with unparalleled elegance and supreme grace.

Even though Li Daoming was used to seeing stunning beauties, including countless beauties with exceptional looks and temperament, as well as Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian who looked exactly like the ruthless empress and possessed equally peerless beauty and temperament, he was still captivated by her.

Li Daoming and the ruthless empress exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with unspoken emotions.

Li Daoming, in particular, was almost overflowing with warmth and excitement.

He met her gaze and knew she wouldn't back out; their wedding would proceed smoothly.

"Ruthless sister!" Seeing the two staring at each other with eyes only for one another, Ye Yixian reminded them.

He then took out a phoenix coronet and wedding robes that exuded an aura of supreme power, and entered another palace with her.

Although this set of phoenix coronet and wedding robes was crafted by Li Daoming and its grade almost reached the level of a quasi-immortal emperor, and it was specially treated by him, the ruthless empress could refine it with a thought and wear it after obtaining it, but there still had to be some sense of ceremony.

The ruthless empress entered the palace to change into her wedding dress, and Li Daoming also entered another palace. On a whim, he changed into the imperial wedding robes he had specially prepared and came out to wait for her.

Li Daoming didn't have to wait long before the ruthless empress, dressed in her wedding gown, walked out of the palace.

Perhaps it was psychological, or perhaps it was the special time and special status that made Li Daoming feel that she was even more beautiful, beautiful to the extreme.

She wore a bright red phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, her graceful figure and flowing garments exuding an unparalleled charm. It seemed that no matter how time flowed by, how the river of time turned chaotic and then quiet, she would always remain a supreme being who transcended the past and present.

The supreme and noble wedding gown, worn by her, not only did not seem out of place, but also highlighted her elegance, making her appear pure and immaculate, transcending time and space.

She seemed to rule the world, dominating all ages. Her aura was no less than Li Daoming's, and she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him even when he wasn't at his full strength.

Li Daoming walked over, took the ruthless empress's hand, and stepped onto the sacrificial altar with her.

He was the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, a peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and she was the Ruthless Empress, a half-step Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Their marriage was naturally not like that of ordinary mortals and cultivators, who would bow to heaven and earth, bow to their parents, or bow to each other.

He created the Boundless Emperor Realm; he is the creator and ruler of the world. How could heaven and earth bear his bow?
Not only him, but the entire Wuji Emperor Realm was ultimately only at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and even they couldn't withstand the ruthless Empress, who was also a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, bowing to them.

As for bowing to his parents, both he and the Ruthless Empress were quasi-Immortal Emperors, but what about his parents? They had only recently broken through to the Immortal King realm, and were merely ordinary Immortal Kings and supreme Immortal Kings.

Even if they are his parents, and their fates are intertwined with his, they cannot withstand his bowing. If he and the ruthless empress dare to bow, they will die! And they will die inexplicably.

On the contrary, the couple bowed to each other. Although he was at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the Ruthless Empress was at the half-step Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the gap between them was huge, but they were both in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, so they could be considered to be at the same level. The couple bowing to each other was not a problem, but they had no intention of doing so!
Soon, the two of them climbed the 9,999 steps and reached the sacrificial altar.
