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

Chapter 873 Firmly Guessing
"Even if it's no longer useful to you, it can be used by Lord Menghai and the others. It should help them break through their bottlenecks and advance their cultivation levels."

"If Lord Menghai can break through to the peak of Immortal Emperor, and other Immortal Emperors can break through to the middle or late stages of Immortal Emperor, the role they can play should be greater than that of a dozen or twenty newly promoted Immortal Emperors."

"If it is the great opportunity you mentioned, and there is still something left after giving it to Lord Menghai and the others, it should be given priority to the Dao Ancestors who have already broken through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, such as Lotus Ancestor, Snow Emperor, and the First Emperor of Heaven, as well as Lord Menghai's disciples."

"They are all Dao Ancestors at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. After obtaining great opportunities, they have a greater chance to break through to Immortal Emperor in a short period of time and play a greater role in the upcoming battles."

"If you were to share this great opportunity with us, Lord Menghai and the Dao Ancestors who have cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor would likely be dissatisfied with you, which would not be conducive to the upcoming battle."

Although You Lian's expression was firm as she spoke her mind, her heart was bleeding.

Although she was willing to give up the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm for the sake of the greater good and to defeat and destroy the strange and dark race, her heart still ached terribly.

Although she has forged her own path, she is not a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or Dao Ancestor.

Looking at all the immortal emperors and the Desolate Heaven Emperor born above the heavens, none of them were not Dao Ancestors.

She knew perfectly well that if she missed this opportunity, even if she forged her own path, her chances of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor level in the future would be no more than three percent, or even one percent.

She was able to cultivate to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, so she naturally had a heart that yearned for the Dao. If she could break through to the Immortal Emperor level, she was willing to pay any price for it.

But now, she has to personally cut off her hope of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm. How could she not be heartbroken?

Compared to the pain in her heart, and compared to breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, she wanted to destroy the strange and dark race even more, and she didn't want to see her teacher, Luo Tianxian, being criticized.

Upon hearing You Lian's words, the excitement in the eyes of the remaining thirty-one Quasi-Immortal Emperors vanished, and many of them changed their expressions.

Some people looked at You Lian with resentment in their eyes. They were resentful that she not only refused to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but also that she might cause them to lose their own opportunities.

Some people's expressions changed inexplicably, and they struggled with their decision. They all knew very well that the most appropriate way to distribute the resources was to follow You Lian's suggestion, which was also the most beneficial to the overall situation. However, this was an opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor level, so how could they be willing to give it up?
Some hesitated for a moment, then revealed a resolute expression, as if they had made up their minds and were willing to give up the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor level, just like You Lian.

……

“Lord Luo, I think Youlian is absolutely right. I cannot accept the great opportunity you mentioned!” Xuan Su said with difficulty but firmness.

Immediately, nearly ten more people stepped forward, their faces resolute, ready to speak.

Before they could speak, Xue Di stepped forward and said firmly, "Lord Luo, if the great opportunity you mentioned is useful to you and Lord Meng Hai, I am willing to give it up."

"However, I think you must have thought carefully before sending us here to give us that so-called great opportunity. That great opportunity must be quite special. It should be useless to men and only useful to women. It should already be useless to you, or enough for you, and there should still be enough left for us to use, right?" Xue Di guessed.

This wasn't just wild speculation. If that great opportunity was still useful to Luo Tianxian, she was certain that she would prioritize keeping enough for herself, and only share any left over with others.

This is not because she believes Luo Tianxian is a selfish person.

In fact, both she and others believed in Luo Tianxian's character. However, although she was of noble character, she was also decisive and ruthless, and would never easily give up an opportunity that was useful to her to someone else.

Moreover, if she could advance further and rival the Desolate Heaven Emperor, her strength would definitely surpass that of dozens of newly promoted Immortal Emperors, and her impact on the battle would be far greater.

Therefore, whether for her own sake or for the greater good, she would not give up her opportunities unless they were no longer useful to her, or giving up a portion of them would have no impact on her.

Furthermore, if that great opportunity is no longer useful to Luo Tianxian, or if enough has been left for her to use and there is still a lot left over, then that great opportunity is not only available to women, but also to men.

She was certain that many of the people here were definitely not within her consideration.

Firstly, in terms of closeness, many of them are definitely not as close as Lord Menghai and the others, nor as close as the Quasi-Immortal Emperor she personally nurtured.

Lord Menghai and his companions had known her for nearly ten epochs, fighting together against the strange dark race. They were sworn brothers, having covered each other's retreats. Their relationship was far beyond what they could compare to.
Moreover, many of the Quasi-Immortal Emperors she personally nurtured have forged their own paths, and many have become Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Ancestors. These Quasi-Immortal Emperors include both men and women, with men outnumbering women.

They were trained by her own hands, while many of the thirty-two women were trained by Lord Menghai and others, and many broke through on their own. They did not belong to any particular faction, and the closeness of their relationships was obvious.

She didn't think that Luo Tianxian would neglect to nurture her close relatives to cultivate these unrelated people, simply because they were all women.

Secondly, as You Lian said, if that great opportunity is useful to Lord Meng Hai and the others, but also to other male Quasi-Immortal Emperors, Luo Tianxian wants to give up a portion of it to others.

For the sake of the bigger picture, priority should be given to Lord Menghai and the others, and priority should also be given to Dao Ancestors who have cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Of the thirty-two people here, many were neither Quasi-Immortal Emperors nor Dao Ancestors, nor even at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, so it wasn't their turn at all.

Therefore, if she is right, then the great opportunity must be quite special, probably useless to men, and only usable by women.

"Not bad, you're quite clever." A hint of admiration flashed in Luo Tianxian's eyes.

The great opportunity she spoke of was indeed useless to men, only women could use it, because the great opportunity she spoke of was to cultivate Yin and Yang with Li Daoming.

Upon hearing Xue Di and Luo Tianxian's words, the others present also realized what was happening and understood immediately.

If that's the case, then it makes sense. No wonder Luo Tianxian would choose them instead of Lord Meng Hai and the other male Dao Ancestors who had already cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

If that great opportunity is useless to men, then besides Luo Tianxian, they are the most qualified.

“No, that’s not right. If it can only be used by women, and they must have walked their own path, then how many people meet the requirements? It seems that there are other restrictions on that great opportunity,” Lotus Ancestor thought to himself.

Several figures appeared in her mind. They had all walked their own paths, and three of them were even quasi-immortal emperors or Dao ancestors. However, they either had Dao partners or, like men, had large harems. They were no longer pure virgins.
