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

Chapter 870 Inquiry and Explanation
"Huang, I'm contacting you only to confirm one thing: do you know Li Daoming's true cultivation level?" Luo Tianxian asked in a deep voice.

As she asked the questions, Luo Tianxian's heart couldn't help but race.

Whether rationally or emotionally, she didn't want to hear a negative answer.

"Why would you ask about Li Daoming's true cultivation level? Do you already know?" the Desolate Emperor asked suspiciously.

He remembered discussing with Li Daoming not revealing his breakthrough to the half-step Hunyuan realm to anyone, lest it trigger some unseen cause and effect and alert the powerful members of the mysterious dark race. How did Luo Tianxian know? Could it be that Li Daoming revealed it himself?
However, in an instant, thinking of Luo Tianxian's abnormal improvement in cultivation level and change in temperament, and also thinking of Li Daoming's expertise in the Yin-Yang Great Dao, who used the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method to cultivate his Daoist partners into Immortal Emperors, and also cultivated more than a hundred Quasi-Immortal Emperors, the Desolate Heaven Emperor pondered and had a vague guess in his heart.

Suddenly, even the Desolate Emperor couldn't hold back anymore!
Knowing that Li Daoming had eight Daoist partners and two or three concubines, and that he had taken in even more concubines in the myriad worlds and the Boundless Emperor Realm, he knew that sooner or later Li Daoming would extend his reach to the heavens and take in concubines there.

He had assumed that Li Daoming would only begin to develop his power and take in concubines after officially starting the war against the strange dark race.

But to my surprise, he reached out so quickly, and even reached out to Luo Tianxian.

That is to say, he had entered the various worlds, knew Li Daoming's character, and knew that Li Daoming never touched married women, nor did he ever force or coerce anyone.

Otherwise, he might worry that Li Daoming would cause trouble in the heavens.

Even so, the Desolate Emperor secretly resolved to guard against fire, theft, and Li Daoming within the Heavenly Court, to prevent some of his friends from being deceived by him, especially the Willow Goddess.

Thinking of Liu Shen, the Desolate Emperor didn't know whether to feel sad or happy.

Sadly, Liu Shen has already died in battle, and the eerie dark race has suppressed her traces with the Edo Plateau. Unless the Edo Plateau is shaken, she can not be resurrected. Before having enough strength to defeat the eerie dark race, she will probably be unable to be resurrected.

Fortunately, Liu Shen has not yet been resurrected. Otherwise, he was really worried that he would be fighting against three strange progenitors and ten strange dark immortal emperors on his own, and would not have time to look back at the heavens when he suddenly found that Liu Shen had become one of Li Daoming's Daoist partners, just like Luo Tianxian. If that were the case, it would be really terrible!

"It seems you also know his true cultivation level. He didn't lie to me!" Seeing the Desolate Emperor's reaction, Luo Tianxian immediately understood and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“I do know his true cultivation level. The path he takes is different from mine. I am a sacrificial priest, while he is a half-step Primordial Chaos cultivator.” The Desolate Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly.

"However, have you already..." The Desolate Emperor hesitated slightly, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Hmm!" Luo Tianxian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She roughly knew what the Desolate Emperor wanted to ask, which was nothing more than whether she had already engaged in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming.

Although she felt it was somewhat embarrassing to talk about, she also knew that her progress in cultivation and the changes in her temperament could not be hidden from the Desolate Emperor.

Even if she wanted to hide it, she would never be able to fool the Desolate Emperor. Since that was the case, she might as well not hide it and just admit it.

"Alas! Why...why did you do this?" Emperor Huangtian sighed softly.

"The Strange Dark Clan is too powerful. How else can we defeat and annihilate them? Besides, I've been stuck at the late Immortal Emperor stage for several eras. I also want to see the scenery of a higher realm," Luo Tianxian said resolutely. "The Strange Dark Clan is too powerful? He told you the true strength of the Strange Dark Clan?"

"You're with him... because he contacted you? And told you about the true strength of the strange dark race?" Emperor Huangtian asked, frowning.

If it is really as he thinks, then he really needs to re-evaluate Li Daoming as a person.

Because Li Daoming used Luo Tianxian to defeat and destroy the strange and dark race, and to protect the hearts of the heavens and all living beings in the universe, he made Luo Tianxian submit to him and offer herself to him.

He might not be as he predicted. Aside from being a bit lecherous, broad-minded, and generous, he might not have many flaws. He could be cunning and good at disguising himself.

"No, you've misunderstood!" Luo Tianxian, having cultivated to the level of an Immortal Emperor at the end of the path, was naturally astute and could understand the implied meaning in Huang Tiandi's words. She immediately explained:
“Thousands of years ago, I secluded myself deep in Luo City and occasionally observed your great battle with the three mysterious progenitors and ten mysterious dark immortal emperors with Meng Hai and the others.”

“I saw that you had suffered some losses and your aura had weakened. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to hold on until Li Daoming had fully matured and broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.”

"Thinking of the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method he created, which is extremely profound, if I were to cultivate Yin-Yang with him, I could not only help him break through as soon as possible, but there is also a high probability that I could help myself break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor. So I took the initiative to go to him."

"He agreed immediately when you brought it up? He didn't refuse? Did he tell you that he already has many Daoist companions and concubines?" the Desolate Emperor inquired.

At this moment, most of the dissatisfaction in the Desolate Emperor's heart dissipated, but some dissatisfaction still remained.

Although Luo Tianxian and Li Daoming practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation, it was not something he initiated or planned, nor did he take advantage of Luo Tianxian's great love.

However, knowing the reason why Luo Tianxian was willing to offer herself, he still felt that Li Daoming's actions were somewhat inappropriate because of his own desires.

"No! You misunderstood!" Luo Tianxian gently shook her head and explained, "He didn't agree directly. Instead, he advised me not to do so. He said that after he cultivated for a while longer, he and you could join forces to defeat and destroy the strange dark race. He advised me to think it over. Moreover, he also told me that he already had many Daoist companions and concubines."

"But I wouldn't listen. I hesitated for a long time before finally making up my mind. To prevent me from regretting it, I goaded him, and that's when he finally agreed!"

"Although I only found out after we had sex that he had already broken through to the half-step Hunyuan realm and that his cultivation level was no weaker than yours, I don't regret it!"

"After having relations with him, I could clearly sense his true cultivation level. In order to dispel my doubts about him, he told me many secrets. I now know the true strength of the strange dark race."

"Ten ancestors at the Sacrifice Dao Realm! Even if Li Daoming has broken through to the half-step Hunyuan Realm and his combat strength is no weaker than yours, or even stronger, how many strange ancestors can he withstand?"

"Moreover, the eerie dark race also has the Edo Plateau. After dying in battle, they can be quickly resurrected by using the power of the Edo Plateau."

"If our strength is only comparable to that of the strange dark race, then continuing to fight against them will only lead to our eventual demise."
