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

Chapter 853 Cultivation Progress
Therefore, even though he traveled with the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian and others only four times, and each trip lasted only a hundred or two hundred years, the total duration of his travels was less than a thousand years.

They also traveled to many places and saw many landscapes different from the heavens and the Boundless Imperial Realm.

However, his travels through the universe with the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, and eight other women were not just about seeing different scenery.

Although he traveled through the universe with the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, and others, it was mainly to relax his mind and not be constantly immersed in cultivation, so as to achieve a balance between work and rest and make his future cultivation more efficient.

During their travels, they do not actively cultivate themselves or comprehend the great Dao of the heavens and the universe.

But when they cultivate to their level, even without actively seeking enlightenment, they can easily perceive the mysteries of the living beings, plants, flowers, stones, and landscapes they see... and even see through the operating rules and the trajectory of the Great Dao of a region...

Seeing the customs and traditions of many different worlds, seeing all things nurtured by many different worlds, seeing the operating rules and the trajectory of the Great Dao in many different worlds... naturally, it is of great benefit to them in comprehending the Dao, developing the Dao, and perfecting their own Great Dao.

To this day, he, his Daoist companions and concubines, and the cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court have all made considerable progress, and the myriad worlds and the Boundless Imperial Realm have undergone dramatic changes.

After cultivating for forty to fifty thousand years, although he has not yet fully comprehended and digested all the scriptures and secret techniques he obtained through the transaction, he has already comprehended and digested forty to fifty percent of them.

Although his avatar's debate with the Desolate Emperor and the six Immortal Emperors above the heavens was not yet over, and the Desolate Emperor did not have enough time and energy to fully demonstrate the mysteries of his Great Dao during the debate, he had already comprehended the mysteries of the Great Dao that the Desolate Emperor and the six Immortal Emperors above the heavens had demonstrated during the debate.

While this wasn't enough to advance his cultivation level further, or to bring the Chaos World Dao Fruit and the Mind-Body Illusion Dao Fruit, which were derived from his Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, to the half-step Primordial Chaos level, it was close, just a hair's breadth away!

Li Daoming was confident that he wouldn't need to wait until the two hundred thousand years after his agreement with the Desolate Emperor.

At most, it will only take 20,000 to 30,000 years before he fully comprehends and digests the profound principles contained in the scriptures and secret techniques he has acquired through the trade, allowing the Chaos World Dao Fruit and the Mind-Body Illusion Dao Fruit, which are derived from the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, to reach the half-step Primordial Chaos level.

In addition, although his Chaotic World Dao Fruit and Mind-Body Illusion Dao Fruit, which were derived from his Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, have not yet reached the half-step Primordial Chaos level, his cultivation strength has not been without progress; in fact, it has improved considerably.

Forty or fifty thousand years ago, even if he went all out and used the Dao Evolution Yin Yang to create three or six Dao bodies, he could only deal with six or seven strange progenitors at most.

But now, he is going all out, using the Dao Evolution Yin Yang to create three or six Dao bodies. He is confident that he can fight against eight or nine strange progenitors on his own.

Moreover, because he had already broken through to the half-step Hunyuan level, he modified the Immortal Emperor Formation that covered all the heavens and the Boundless Emperor Realm, making its grade and power reach the half-step Hunyuan level. The world origin that he absorbed from the power of the chaotic void and transformed and refined also reached the half-step Hunyuan level.

When he engages in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua, he helps them refine some of the world's origin.

This will elevate their mental state to a higher level, helping them to cultivate to a higher realm more quickly.

This allowed them to progress in their cultivation faster than before when they practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him.

The ruthless empress was at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. When she practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, she refined some of the world's origin, and her mental realm was raised to the half-step Primordial Chaos level. One Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him was enough to be equivalent to tens of thousands of years of her own cultivation.

Over the past forty to fifty thousand years, she and he have practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation five times, which is equivalent to her own cultivation of three hundred thousand years. Although it is not enough for her to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor, she is close.

If she were to continue cultivating with him in yin and yang for another 30,000 to 40,000 years, she would definitely be able to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor.

Forty to fifty thousand years ago, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian were all at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, but they were not just entering the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm; they had already made considerable progress in the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

When she practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, she also refined the origin of the world, and her mental realm was also elevated to the half-step Hunyuan level.

Although their cultivation level was lower than that of the Ruthless Empress, and they could only maintain dual cultivation with him for a shorter period of time, their mental and spiritual realms were elevated many times over.

This allows their cultivation to progress much faster; a single instance of Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him is almost equivalent to tens of thousands of years of their own cultivation.

They only practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him three times, or less than three times, before they all successfully broke through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor.

Of course, although they have all successfully broken through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, because their aptitude, comprehension and talent are not as good as the Ruthless Empress, they will definitely need more time to break through to the peak of Immortal Emperor.

If his cultivation level does not improve significantly, and they continue to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, they will need at least 100,000 years and at least ten more Yin-Yang dual cultivation sessions before they have a chance to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor.

As for Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua?
Forty or fifty thousand years ago, their cultivation levels were all at the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor, and they had only recently broken through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.

When they practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, their mental and spiritual realms were also elevated to the half-step Hunyuan level.

This allowed them to progress in their cultivation faster than Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian.

However, they could only maintain the Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming for a shorter period of time compared to Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian. Their aptitude, comprehension, and talent were also inferior to those of Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian.

This meant that even after cultivating forty to fifty thousand years and engaging in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming five times, they still failed to break through to the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, they are not far from breaking through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor. In at most 10,000 years, after another Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming, they will definitely be able to break through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Li Daoming's cultivation level couldn't improve at all over the next two hundred thousand years, the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua would rapidly improve their cultivation levels, and their gains from Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming would gradually decrease.

The ruthless Empress will surely be able to break through the Immortal Emperor limit before the 300,000-year deadline agreed upon by Li Daoming and the Desolate Emperor arrives, and may even attempt to break through to the Half-Step Primordial Realm.

Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian will definitely be able to break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor, and may even break through the limit of the Immortal Emperor.

Although Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua lack talent, comprehension, and aptitude, they have a great chance of breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor if they do not encounter bottlenecks.
