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

Chapter 885, Chapter 918: Deciding Luo Tianxian's Intentions

After hesitating for a while, Xue Di decided to take it slow and not make a decision immediately.

Whether or not she marries Li Daoming and becomes his imperial concubine will determine her future and her entire life.

She felt she should be cautious and learn more before making a decision, lest she impulsively marry him, ruin her future, and regret it for the rest of her life.

As for the claim that she has fallen for him, is deeply attached to the pleasure of dual cultivation with him, and wants to quickly improve her cultivation strength through dual cultivation with him?
This is not a problem!

With her cultivation level, appearance, and temperament, even if she didn't marry him and become his imperial concubine, she didn't believe he would be unmoved or refuse her if she wanted to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him.

Having made up her mind, Xue Di's beautiful eyebrows immediately relaxed.

Seeing the Snow Empress's relaxed expression, Li Daoming asked softly, "It seems you've made your decision? Are you willing to become my Empress?"

"Up to now, I am fairly satisfied with you, but I still know too little about you, and I know nothing about your emperor, empress, and imperial concubines. This concerns my future, so I want to spend some time with you and get to know you well before making a decision."

"You want to spend some time with us before making a decision. It seems you have some concerns!" Li Daoming asked thoughtfully.

"Indeed, I do have concerns. I only know about your talent and strength, but I don't know your character, how you treat your emperor, empress, and concubines, or how you will treat me in the future."

"Moreover, if I marry you and become your imperial concubine, I will inevitably have to get along with your empress and imperial concubines. If they are difficult to get along with and are scheming against each other, then I am unwilling to get involved in them."

Xue Di made no attempt to hide anything and directly expressed her concerns.

“Since you’ve made your decision, then so be it!” Li Daoming said without the slightest hesitation.

He looked at Xue Di at this moment, without any dissatisfaction, but rather with some admiration.

Although he likes stunningly beautiful women with exceptional figures and looks, he prefers stunningly beautiful women with temperament, inner qualities, and intellect.

Although Xue Di fell in love with him after practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation, she did not let it cloud her judgment; in fact, it made him like her even more.

As for whether Xue Di would back down and be unwilling to marry him after getting to know them, he wasn't worried.

Although he rarely reciprocates the feelings of his women, except for his Daoist partners and some concubines whom he favors and values, he treats them well. They receive generous benefits and, as long as they do not betray him or violate the rules he sets, he will not stop them from doing whatever they want.

His Daoist partners were not jealous people. Although they liked him, they did not regard him as their only one or their exclusive possession, unable to be separated from him at any time.

They don't value power and influence, but rather their own strength. Besides accompanying him, traveling the world with him, and practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, they spend most of their time cultivating, even if they sometimes do other things to relax. They don't have time for scheming and intrigue.

If anyone dares to scheme against them, disturb them, or disgust them, they won't stage any palace intrigue. Instead, they will use their power as immortal emperors to go back in time, uncover the truth, and then kill the person they deem deserving of death.

It can be said that apart from being too lustful and unable to reciprocate her feelings, he had no other flaws.

He believed that if he practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with her a few more times, she would like him more, enjoy and become inseparable from the pleasure of practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, and the benefits he could give her would be enough for her to overlook his shortcomings.

"It seems you're quite confident I'll agree to marry you and become your imperial consort?" the Snow Empress asked, raising an eyebrow. "With my cultivation level, if I didn't want to see anyone scheming against me?"

“My Daoist partners are all easy to get along with. They focus more on their own cultivation and don’t care about power. As long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t suppress you arbitrarily.”

"Is that so? I'll wait and see!" The Snow Emperor smiled slightly, like a snow lotus in full bloom.

……

Los Angeles Main Hall
Suddenly, Li Daoming and Xue Di appeared silently in the hall.

"You're back!" Luo Tianxian was the first to spot the two and turned her gaze toward them.

It's unclear whether she was afraid to face it, or if Xue Di was more of a focus for her.

Luo Tianxian's gaze swept quickly over Li Daoming and landed on Xue Di. She exclaimed in admiration, "Not bad! You have already broken through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm, and your physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power have undergone significant changes. It seems that you will be able to truly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm soon!"

At this moment, the Snow Empress had perfected her Great Dao to the level of the Immortal Emperor. Although she had not always remained at the Immortal Emperor realm, her Immortal Emperor Great Dao had refined her physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power, filling her entire body with the aura of the Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, because she has not yet truly broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, she cannot perfectly control herself or conceal her aura. In the face of a true powerhouse, her cultivation level is completely exposed.

"I have to thank him a lot. Without him, I don't know how long it would have taken me to break through to the half-step Immortal Emperor, or perhaps I would never have been able to break through!" the Snow Emperor said with emotion.

"Hmm!" Luo Tianxian nodded slightly in agreement, but didn't say anything more about it, instead changing the subject:
"Although you have broken through to the half-step Immortal Emperor, you are ultimately not a true Immortal Emperor. In terms of concealing heavenly secrets and shielding cause and effect, you are ultimately not as good as a true Immortal Emperor."

"To prevent you from being deduced by the powerful members of the strange dark race, and to prevent the plan to cultivate an Immortal Emperor from being exposed, you will cultivate within my Immortal Emperor Domain until you break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. What do you think?"

"To break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, I need to refine my physical body and primordial spirit to the Immortal Emperor level, and I need to absorb a massive amount of power."

If it were just me alone, it wouldn't matter. But Luo City has set up an Immortal Emperor's Formation, which can also connect to the western part of the Yuancang Continent, gathering endless heaven and earth energy.

Even if I have to support the countless beings in Luocheng, the remaining power is enough for my cultivation.

However, Lianzu and Xuansu have already cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor and are about to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming. They also have a very high probability of breaking through to the Half-Step Immortal Emperor level.

"If they all break through as well, Luo City will probably be unable to spare enough resources to support our cultivation," the Snow Emperor said, frowning.

"That is indeed a problem!" Luo Tianxian frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Although Luo City is only a half-step Immortal Emperor weapon, it also has an Immortal Emperor formation that connects to the western part of the Yuan Cang Continent, gathering the boundless energy of heaven and earth. This makes Luo City's energy extremely rich and abundant.

However, the interior of Luo City is vast and boundless, almost comparable to a great world. It is home to a massive number of living beings, including countless true immortals and immortal kings, and even many powerful beings at the quasi-immortal emperor level. They need to consume a huge amount of heaven and earth energy to comprehend the Dao and cultivate.
