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

Chapter 749 Settling the Entrustment

Although there are many beings in the human realm that he needs to resurrect after the Chaotic Ancient Era, the highest level of these beings is only the pinnacle of the Human Path. Even if all of them are added together, the difficulty and cost of resurrecting them will not be greater than resurrecting an ordinary Immortal King.

To resurrect a Celestial King, one needs to expend power to reflect another Celestial King, endure the backlash of the river of time, and be rejected by all the heavens and worlds. The price to pay is certainly more than the equivalent of a Celestial King.

But the price he had to pay was still nothing to him.

He estimated that it wouldn't even take a month to make up for the losses from resurrecting these beings, and to eliminate the resurrection of these beings, which would lead to a decrease in the recognition of him by the various worlds.

Of course, the price he needs to pay to resurrect these beings is not high.

But this applies only to these living beings!
If, as he had previously planned, the scope of resurrection were expanded to all the heavens and the worlds, to the ancient immortal era, the era of the fallen emperors, and even more distant eras.

Even if he were to resurrect the beings he wanted to, the number would be far greater than a thousand times that of the beings he had already resurrected.

Moreover, among the beings to be resurrected are some true immortals and immortal kings, making the resurrection even more difficult.

The greater the price to pay in order to revive them all, the higher the cost will be.

If he hadn't extracted the world's origin condensed from the Supreme Immortal Emperor's array, it might have taken him thousands or tens of thousands of years to recover the power he had lost and the backlash he had suffered.

Most importantly, this will reduce the recognition he receives from the myriad worlds, delaying the time it takes for him to gain their recognition by thousands or tens of thousands of years or even longer.

The price is too high!
Even if he were willing to bear it, he wouldn't do it now, but would wait until he had refined all the heavens and become the master of all the heavens.

At that time, he could intercept the world's origin transformed and condensed by the Supreme Immortal Emperor's magic array, and make up for his losses and recover from his injuries in a short period of time.

As for the recognition of him by the heavens and the world? He has already become the master of the heavens and the world, so why would he need to care about such things?
After reviving the ruthless empress's brother and the beings he wanted to resurrect after the chaotic ancient era in the human realm, Li Daoming did not linger in the river of time and immediately returned to the present world.

When he returned to the mortal world, less than a month had passed there.

At that time, the eight people—Ruthless Empress, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian—were not in the Ninth Heaven, but in the area he had created with the Supreme Immortal Emperor's formation, a region with a time flow rate a hundred times that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, where they were recovering their depleted mental energy and digesting the gains from his Yin-Yang dual cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Li Daoming summoned the Ruthless Empress, handed her brother over to her, and used a portion of his divine sense to properly settle the remaining beings he had resurrected.

For example, Wushi's parents were sent directly to Wushi's temple, where he was given the authority to make arrangements.

For example, Emperor Cang and Emperor Luan Gu were thrown directly into the boundless chaos by Li Daoming, who transformed them into chaotic divine embryos to be nurtured by the laws of the heavens and the boundless chaos. As for their relatives and friends, Li Daoming sealed them away for the time being, and they would deal with them themselves after they were born and joined the Wuji Holy Court.

For example, he believed that cultivators who could break through to the True Immortal level or even higher under the cultivation of the Wuji Holy Court were directly sent to the Wuji Holy Court, and after joining the Wuji Holy Court, their cultivation was dissolved and they started over.

……

When the ruthless empress saw her brother again, she was naturally overjoyed and excited, wishing she could immediately break the seal on her brother and reunite with him.

However, the ruthless empress had just unsealed her brother and hadn't yet healed his injuries or awakened him when she sealed him away again. She then sent him to Li Daoming, requesting that he mentor him.

Although she was overjoyed and excited, she wanted to reunite with her brother right now.

However, her brother was too weak. He had only recently broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and he had just sacrificed himself to the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. He was about to die when Yin Zhao pulled him out of the River of Time. His physical condition was extremely poor, and his original blood essence had been exhausted. He was on the verge of death.

If they hadn't been there to seal him away, he probably would have died in no time.

Of course, even if he was in terrible condition, as long as he wasn't completely dead, it didn't matter to them.

If they so desire, any one of them could, with a single thought, completely heal his injuries and restore his essence, and even make him stronger.

But this is meaningless. With his original physique's aptitude, comprehension, and potential, even if his origin is enhanced, his future achievements will not be very high.

If he were given proper training by the Boundless Holy Court, he would definitely be able to break through to the True Immortal realm, but the outcome for the Immortal King realm is uncertain.

Even though she has him backing, providing him with ample cultivation resources and a large amount of contributions from the Boundless Holy Court, his limit is still the Emperor Light Immortal King.

Want to break through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor?
The chances are slim!

However, if he could receive Li Daoming's careful guidance, it would be a different story. He would have a great chance of breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, or even higher.

The ruthless empress firmly believed this!
This wasn't because she blindly believed in him; rather, he had already proven himself, having trained countless strong individuals.
Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian have already broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, and Ye Fan have already broken through to the Half-Step Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Li Wuhen, Li Wuyou, and Wan Qing are about to break through to the Half-Step Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

Although Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua are his Daoist partners, and can often engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, it is with his help in their cultivation that they have achieved their current success.

Her brother was a man, so she could not practice Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, nor could he help her brother cultivate in that way.

However, to forge one's own path, innovate in the secret realm techniques, and create one's own sixth secret realm, is not something that can be achieved simply by engaging in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him or by having him assist in cultivation.

If it were that easy, most of his more than 20,000 concubines had engaged in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him.

Among them, there were quite a few whom he favored and who often engaged in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with, such as Si Qi, Zi Wei, Jian Yi, Ji Zi Yue, Zi Xia, Yan Ru Yu, Wei Wei, Jiang Ting Ting, Xia Jiu You, Huo Lin Er...

Why didn't they succeed?
Furthermore, his descendants and disciples also have no way to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him.

Moreover, his two offspring, Li Wuhen and Li Wuyou, were born with aptitude, comprehension, and potential far inferior to the first generation of the Holy Body.

Given their aptitude, comprehension, potential, and talent, it should have been difficult for them to open up their own sixth secret realm, but they all did.

Moreover, as far as she knew, apart from Ye Fan, the remaining ten people—Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Li Wuhen, Li Wuyou, and Wan Qing—only understood and opened up their own sixth secret realm after he repeatedly guided them.
