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

Chapter 717 Seeking to Contact the Desolate Heaven Emperor
In other words, he had already broken through to the Immortal Emperor level, and his cultivation and strength were no longer on the same level as the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. He also knew the names of the Cang Emperor, Yu Emperor, Hong Emperor, and the World Destroyer, and had a lot of knowledge about them. Only then could he easily break through their concealed secrets and see their figures and experiences before they broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

Otherwise, even if someone is only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, or even at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, knowing their imperial name would not allow them to easily break through the heavenly secrets they conceal and see their past before breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Even if it takes a great deal of effort and cost to barely break through their concealed secrets, they will still be able to sense them.

This is also why he couldn't see the figures and experiences of the Corpse Immortal Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor before they broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor in the river of time.

Quasi-Immortal Emperors are accompanied by a layer of mist that can conceal and shield the secrets of heaven.

As an Immortal Emperor, he transcends time, cause and effect, and destiny. He can overturn cause and effect and ignore the rules of space and time, making him many times stronger than a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. His ability to shield the secrets of heaven is also countless times stronger than that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Even though he was also an Immortal Emperor, and not just an ordinary one, it was difficult for him to break through their shielding and concealment of their own heavenly secrets. Naturally, it was also difficult for him to see their figures and experiences before they broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

Unable to see the Desolate Emperor through the river of time, Li Daoming couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.

He was originally thinking that he had already broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and not just any ordinary Immortal Emperor. If he were to use the Dao Evolution Yin Yang to create multiple Dao bodies and go all out, his combat power would surpass that of a typical peak Immortal Emperor.

With such immense power, even if one were to ascend to the heavens, as long as one does not provoke the eerie Dark Ancestor, one could be invincible.

It's time to contact the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and find out what's happening above the heavens.

If we could see the figure of the Desolate Emperor in the river of time, perhaps we could contact him and learn about the situation above the heavens from him.

But now, let alone seeing the figure of the Desolate Emperor, it is extremely difficult to even see his figure and experiences before he broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Naturally, it's impossible to contact him through this method, and it's not easy to learn about the situation above the heavens from him.

At this moment, Li Daoming understood even more why Ye Fan, the Ruthless Empress, and Wu Shi in the original work had all broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm and were able to reverse time and return to the past.

They wanted to contact the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, but instead of directly reversing time and returning to the past, they spent a great deal of effort to send Ye Qingxian to the past, causing Ye Qingxian, who was considered a seed of an Immortal Emperor, to bear immense karma.

It's not that they didn't want to, but that the Desolate Emperor had already broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm and shielded himself from the secrets of cause and effect, destiny and heaven. Without establishing a sufficiently deep connection with the Desolate Emperor, even if they reversed time and space and returned to the past, they would not be able to find the Desolate Emperor.

Li Daoming felt a slight disappointment for a moment, but quickly dismissed it.

Although he could not see the figure and experiences of the Desolate Emperor in the river of time, he could not use this to contact him and understand the situation above the heavens.

But after thinking for a while, he came up with several ways to contact the Desolate Emperor.

For example, they directly call out the real name of the Desolate Emperor and make no attempt to conceal their deductions about his whereabouts and traces.

It should be understood that when one cultivates to the level of a Celestial King, one can tread upon the river of time, see through cause and effect, sense the existence that chants its true name, and manifest its Dharma form to descend.

Once one cultivates to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor or Immortal Emperor, this ability will become even more powerful and terrifying.

If it were a Celestial King or Quasi-Celestial Emperor, due to their limited cultivation and strength, they certainly wouldn't be able to sense the presence reciting their true name across the barriers between the myriad worlds and the heavens above. But a Celestial Emperor definitely could!

Of course, while the Celestial Emperor could sense the presence reciting his true name through the barriers between the myriad worlds and the heavens, he wasn't so idle. Unless it was an existence with a profound karmic connection to him, that would create a mysterious link between them, or that possessed immense power... only then could they attract the Celestial Emperor's attention and elicit a response.

As for some insignificant beings, even if they keep chanting the true name of the Immortal Emperor, the powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level will absolutely not pay attention to them or send down any strange phenomena.

Take him for example. As the Emperor of Limitless Heaven and the creator of the Limitless Emperor Realm, his name is known to everyone in the Limitless Emperor Realm.

Almost every moment, countless beings chant his name and pray for him.

Although he could sense the cries and prayers of billions of people, he instinctively blocked them out.

Otherwise, with countless beings calling out to him and praying to him every moment, he wouldn't be unable to cultivate, but he would certainly be very annoyed.

If his Daoist partner, offspring, disciples, or Wushi calls him, he will immediately sense it and turn his gaze toward them.

He came from the human realm, cultivated the secret realm techniques of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and even innovated upon them. He already had some karmic connection with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Although these causal connections are not enough to attract the attention of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, he has already broken through to become an Immortal Emperor, and his cultivation and strength are powerful enough to definitely attract the attention of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

As long as the Desolate Emperor has not yet perished, or is too preoccupied to attend to other matters, he will surely be able to sense his call.

As long as he doesn't conceal or shield himself, the Desolate Emperor can contact him by following his call.

As for the original work, why didn't Ye Fan, the Ruthless Empress, and Wu Shi try to contact the Desolate Emperor using this method?
It wasn't that their karmic ties with the Desolate Emperor were too shallow, nor that their cultivation and strength were too weak to attract the Desolate Emperor's attention.

At that time, even if the Desolate Emperor had not perished, his condition would certainly not have been good, and he would have had no time to spare. Otherwise, the sword light he left behind that pierced through countless ages would not have dissipated.

They have already perished, or are too preoccupied to care about anything else, so naturally they cannot respond to Ye Fan, the Ruthless Empress, and Wu Shi.

For example, he attacked the sword light left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor in the Ultimate Ancient Land, which cleaved through countless ages.

The sword light unleashed by the Desolate Emperor had reached the level of possessing a primordial spirit, almost equivalent to his external avatar, and had an extremely close connection with him. This was why it could traverse countless ages of time and space, why it could exist forever, and why it could block the invasion of the eerie darkness.

Although this sword light was powerful, even capable of threatening experts at the Immortal Emperor level, it was nothing to him. He definitely had the strength to obliterate this sword light.

If he were to attack this sword light and obliterate it, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor would definitely be able to sense it. As long as he is still alive, he would certainly spare a portion of his attention to it.

However, this method is a bit of a trap for the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

If the Desolate Emperor were not engaged in a bloody battle, then so be it; diverting a portion of his attention to this matter would have no effect on him whatsoever.

However, if the Desolate Emperor were to truly engage in a bloody battle with a powerful enemy and divert some of his attention to this matter, it would definitely affect his combat strength, and he might even suffer severe injuries due to a momentary lapse in concentration.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would definitely not use this method to contact the Desolate Emperor.
