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

Chapter 842 Guess
Of course, if he can forge a new and independent path and perfect it to the limit of the Immortal Emperor, he can use this new path to walk the path of Hunyuan.

However, this is almost impossible to do!

Having cultivated to his current level, although he has not yet transformed into the Dao, his connection with the Great Dao is still too close. As long as the Dao exists, he exists; if the Dao disappears, he dies. It is simply impossible for him to sever the Dao and start over.

Moreover, under the influence of his Great Dao, he is completely unable to cultivate other cultivation systems and forge a new, independent Great Dao. Even if he comprehends and evolves a new Great Dao, he will become subordinate to it under the influence of his Great Dao.

In other words, his path to enlightenment was almost completely cut off!
As the saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

Ordinary people might find it hard to understand this statement, but cultivators, especially the more powerful ones, can understand it better.

Whenever one gains enlightenment, one's life level transforms and elevates to a higher level, and one's mental perspective can also be elevated to a higher level. Being at a higher level, the experience is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and is extremely mysterious and wonderful.

Moreover, his ability to cultivate to his current level is not only due to the pressure of his environment—the fear of death if he didn't advance—but also inseparable from his passion for cultivation and the Great Dao.

He suddenly realized that his path to enlightenment was likely severed. This was only because his willpower was extremely strong. Otherwise, he would not have just been shaken and slightly lost his mind, but would have been severely shaken and completely devastated.

However, it only took a short while for the Desolate Emperor to calm his mind and regain his composure.

Although he cares about his spiritual path, he cares even more about his relatives, friends, and countless sentient beings.

Even though his path to enlightenment has been severed, with his current cultivation level, he still stands roughly at the pinnacle of the world. As long as he destroys the eerie dark race, he believes his strength is enough to protect his family and friends, and safeguard all living beings in the region.

And is his path truly over? He doesn't think so.

His method of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm and transcending it by half a step was different from Li Daoming's. He believed that there were definitely more than just these two methods to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and completely transcend it.

He may find a way to break through the path of sacrifice in the future without sacrificing everything, including his mind and consciousness, to the universe.

Although it is foreseeable that finding a breakthrough will be extremely difficult for him, he will not give up no matter how difficult it is.

Just as the Desolate Emperor was wavering and slightly lost in thought, Li Daoming learned the method to break through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm, grasped a trace of the Sacrifice Dao Realm's mysteries, and was also slightly surprised.

The Desolate Emperor obtained the method to break through the half-step Hunyuan realm and the Hunyuan realm, comprehended a trace of the mysteries of the half-step Hunyuan realm, and understood the method to break through beyond the sacrificial path.

His cultivation level was in no way inferior to that of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and even surpassed that of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. Naturally, he also understood the method to break through to the level of the Sacrifice Dao.

But Li Daoming was astonished when he understood the method to break through the path of sacrificial rites.

Prior to this, he had confused the half-step Hunyuan realm with the sacrificial Dao realm.

However, he once imagined that the half-step Primordial Realm and the Sacrifice Dao Realm were not the same path. The Sacrifice Dao Realm might be about offering one's own supreme Dao to this universe.

After thinking it over, he decided to give up on that possibility.

As far as he knew, this universe was not a primary universe, but a top-tier universe, comparable to the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm. In terms of the world origin and the rules of the Great Dao contained within, it surpassed even cultivators who had reached the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm.

If one is at the Sacrifice Dao realm, it involves sacrificing one's own Great Dao to this universe. To break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm, one must sacrifice everything, including one's mind and consciousness, to this universe. Given the power of this universe and the terrifying Great Dao it contains, unless one cultivates to the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, even if one cultivates to the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm and sacrifices everything to this universe, the possibility of not being completely eroded and assimilated by the Great Dao of this universe is extremely low.

If one has not even reached the Primordial Chaos Realm, and yet sacrifices everything to this universe, the chances of survival are almost nil.

Let alone the three Dao-Sacrificing Emperors, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng, even if thirty Dao-Sacrificing Emperors were to sacrifice themselves to this universe, they would still not be able to revive and transcend from their deathly silence.

However, in the original novel of Sacred Ruins, after Chu Feng sacrificed everything of his own, he broke through to the Dao of Sacrifice along with the Desolate Emperor and Ye Fan.

Furthermore, since he had a clear method to break through to the half-step Hunyuan realm and the Hunyuan realm, he rejected his idea.

But unexpectedly, the Sacrifice Dao Realm actually sacrifices one's own Great Dao to this universe.

But if that's the case, how did the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm? Li Daoming was very puzzled and surprised at this moment.

However, in a flash, Li Daoming thought of a possibility that might be related to the root of everything—the owner of the Three-Life Coffin.

Legend has it that the owner of the Three-Life Coffin had already cultivated to the level of sacrificial arts, but his cultivation went wrong, and he had no choice but to burn himself and seal his ashes in a stone jar.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan, Chu Feng and the owner of the Three Incarnations Coffin have a great causal connection, and seem to be his three incarnations.

If these rumors are true, and with the arrangements made by the three-life bronze coffin's owner, it's not impossible that the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng could be resurrected and transcended after sacrificing everything to this universe.

However, at this moment, Li Daoming couldn't help but wonder what arrangements the owner of the three-generation bronze coffin had made.

If he could know what arrangements the owner of the Three Incarnations Coffin had made, perhaps he could also make similar arrangements in the future to help Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua break through to the Sacrifice Path.

After pondering for a while without reaching a conclusion, Li Daoming put it aside for the time being.

He is currently only at the half-step Hunyuan realm, not the Hunyuan realm, so it would be extremely difficult for him to know the arrangements of the owner of the Three Incarnations Copper Coffin.

Moreover, even if one knew, what could one do? It could turn the impossible into the possible, allowing one's sacrificial realm to break through to the level of sacrificial dao.

With his current cultivation level, how could he possibly set it up? Perhaps it's possible when he truly breaks through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, but that's only a possibility.

Moreover, sometimes, when one reaches a certain level of understanding, one can understand all methods.

He doesn't know how the owner of the three-generation bronze coffin arranged it, and even if he did, he would never be able to replicate it.

However, if he breaks through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, he might be able to easily learn about the arrangements of the owner of the Three Incarnations Coffin and replicate them, which could also help him break through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Both the Desolate Emperor and Li Daoming calmed their emotions and stabilized their state of mind.

The Desolate Emperor raised his eyes to look at Li Daoming, a flash of unwavering conviction in his eyes, and said with a hint of nonchalance, "Wuji, thank you. I benefited from this exchange."
