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

Chapter 866 A whim
Even if he had no feelings for them, he was very domineering and forceful in this regard. Since they had become his women, they could only be his women for all eternity.

He could tolerate their fall, their annihilation, and their never-ending destruction, but he could not tolerate them falling into the arms of other men.

Don't think he's domineering and cruel!
They became his concubines voluntarily; he did not force them. They should have been mentally prepared for this before agreeing to become his concubines.

Moreover, after they became his concubines, they could engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him every once in a while. With his help, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of cultivators of the same aptitude in the Wuji Holy Court.

The treatment they receive, in every aspect, far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level in the Boundless Holy Court.

Even their families/sects, relatives and friends can gain considerable benefits because of their status. As long as they do not betray the Wuji Holy Court, even if they decline slightly for various reasons, they will never be destroyed and will eventually rise again.

……

Having gained so many benefits, they naturally have responsibilities and need to pay a price. Therefore, he could not possibly set them free!

However, although he was extremely powerful, and although he was the master of the Boundless Emperor Realm, and later refined all the heavens and became the master of all the heavens, if he wanted, he could be omniscient and omnipotent in the Boundless Emperor Realm and all the heavens and the heavens. Nothing could be hidden from him, and he could do almost anything he wanted.

However, he devoted his time and energy to his own cultivation, to helping his Daoist companions and concubines cultivate, to developing the myriad worlds, the Boundless Imperial Realm, and the Boundless Holy Court, and to nurturing powerful individuals...

He simply didn't have the extra time or energy to keep an eye on his concubines' private lives and prevent them from overstepping their bounds.

Moreover, although they were his concubines, they were also independent beings who should have a certain degree of freedom and privacy. He was not so domineering as to deprive them of these things.

They have a certain degree of freedom and privacy, but they don't have him in their hearts and still yearn for love, yet they are forcibly suppressed due to various restrictions.

Even though they feared his power, the power of the Boundless Holy Court, and the possible consequences, they dared not cross the line.

But this is not a solution! Who knows if one day they might be possessed by their inner demons and do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness?

If that's the case, even if he could grind those involved to dust, or even if he could erase this past and all traces of them in the world after breaking through to the half-step Hunyuan realm, so that no one in the world could remember them, it wouldn't change this fact.

Therefore, rather than sitting idly by and letting something happen in the future that will enrage him and be unacceptable, it is better to make some arrangements in advance to completely eliminate the possibility of those things happening, just in case.

After much thought, he finally came up with a solution: to modify and improve the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method he had created, adding a subtle effect to it.

The woman who had practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him would instinctively and wholeheartedly reject intimate contact with other men, and under a mysterious influence, would let her guard down around him, gradually fall in love with him, trust him from the bottom of her heart, and eventually become devoted to him.

Since they were his concubines, it was only natural that they trusted him, had no defenses against him, fell in love with him, and were devoted to him.

He modified and perfected the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method, and then practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with his Daoist partner and concubine, all using the new Yin-Yang dual cultivation method.

The eight individuals—Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua—were all aware of the subtle effects of the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method due to their high cultivation levels, but they did not care.

Since they had already fallen in love with Li Daoming, this Yin-Yang dual cultivation method would neither change their minds and temperaments nor harm them in any way, so they naturally wouldn't care or resist it.

As for his concubines? Even if he didn't try to hide it, they wouldn't notice anything unusual. However, with each of their repeated Yin-Yang cultivation sessions, those among them who already harbored love and respect for him became even more devoted to him.

The concubine, who initially had no feelings for him, quickly developed feelings for him and fell deeply in love with him.

When he and Luo Tianxian practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation, he naturally also used the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method. Because his cultivation level was much higher than hers, she was naturally affected as well.

However, because Luo Tianxian's cultivation level was high enough, having already reached the level of a Lu Jin Immortal Emperor, she only engaged in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him once, for a total of one or two thousand years.

Although she was affected and developed feelings and trust for him, she had not yet fallen completely in love with him or been devoted to him.

Even so, she would instinctively believe him. As long as he didn't do anything that she found unbearable or violated her principles, she wouldn't easily betray him, and she could trust him.

Although Luo Tianxian could be trusted, he had a strange feeling that if he didn't expose all his and the Wuji Holy Court's strength to her, he might gain some unexpected benefits after a while.

Although he didn't know what unexpected gains he might make, cultivators value whims and impulses above all else, and he was no exception.

Moreover, he had to admit that he was somewhat looking forward to what this unexpected gain might be, and whether it could accelerate his cultivation progress.

If possible, that would be wonderful!

In a maximum of ten thousand years, he will be able to comprehend and digest all the evolutionary systems, scriptures, and secret techniques he has acquired through the trade.

His cultivation progress will slow down at that time. Even if his cultivation progress slows down, his cultivation strength will definitely improve a lot after cultivating for another 200,000 years.

But who would complain about their cultivation progressing too fast? He was no exception; he naturally hoped that his cultivation progress would not slow down, or even become faster.

In addition, although he is very proud at heart, he is quite humble on the outside and is not used to boasting.

Moreover, he is a cautious person and is used to hiding some of his strengths and trump cards.

Even when facing the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who needed to gain his trust and allow him to monopolize the three strange progenitors and ten strange dark immortal emperors for 300,000 years, he did not reveal all his secrets and still kept some hidden.

Just like more than 80,000 years ago, he had a premonition that it would take him more than 200,000 years to take another step forward.

But in reality, he knew perfectly well that if he traded with the Desolate Emperor, Luo Tianxian, Meng Hai and others for the evolution systems, scriptures and secret techniques they possessed, and comprehended many evolution systems, scriptures and secret techniques, he would definitely not need so much time to advance further.

But out of caution, and just in case, he set a timeframe of 300,000 years.

Out of caution and habit, he naturally did not intend to tell Luo Tianxian the full extent of his and the Wuji Holy Court's strength, and naturally would not speak too confidently.

Of course, he didn't intend to hide too much from Luo Tianxian.
