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

Chapter 889 Play hard to get
"Also, you said you would have to pay a price. What kind of price is it? Will it harm you? Will it delay your cultivation?"

"If you can't, and you really can, I hope you will help them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor first, and then cultivate Yin and Yang with them."

"But if it would cause you great harm and delay your cultivation, I think you should prioritize your own well-being."

Although she had only practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming once, she knew that the effect and gains from future Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him would definitely not be as good as the first time.

However, given her cultivation level, she could roughly deduce the effects of subsequent Yin-Yang dual cultivation between You Lian and others after their first Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming.

It can also be inferred that if You Lian and the others do not break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor first, and then engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, although they still have a great chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future, it will definitely take a long time, at least hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years.

She had always been somewhat worried that their side had not yet fully grown and developed enough to contend with the strange, dark race.

The powerful members of the eerie dark race sensed this and launched a full-scale attack, either because the Desolate Emperor was no longer able to hold out on his own and they had to act prematurely, thus drawing out the entire eerie dark race.

If that's the case, and they are no longer a match for them, their hope of defeating and destroying the strange, dark race could very well be shattered and destroyed.

Therefore, she always wanted to improve their side's strength as soon as possible, just in case.

Now, Li Daoming can help You Lian and the others break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short period of time. Afterwards, by engaging in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with them, there is a very high probability that he can help them break through to the Half-Step Immortal Emperor.

After they break through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm, engaging in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with them can shorten the time needed for them to advance from the half-step Immortal Emperor realm to the Immortal Emperor realm.

If they can cultivate some new Immortal Emperors in a short period of time, their strength will increase significantly. If any unexpected events occur in the future, they will be able to face them more easily and calmly.

She was naturally tempted!

However, she was also very clear that the Desolate Emperor and Li Daoming were the pillars of stability above the heavens.

Their condition and cultivation level are the most important factors, even more important than the emergence of more newly promoted Immortal Emperors in a short period of time.

Therefore, even though she was very tempted, she felt that Li Daoming should prioritize his own interests, as she was unsure what price he would have to pay.

“Since I’ve spoken, it’s true. I can help them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short time, and it won’t affect their potential in the slightest,” Li Daoming said confidently.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for how to help them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short period of time, it cannot be done by a single treasure or a single method. Instead, it requires the combined use of many treasures and methods."

"Among them, the most important treasure, which you should also know, is the world's origin that helped you refine and absorb when we cultivated Yin and Yang together."

"The price I need to pay is actually a large amount of the world's origin and a huge amount of other resources and treasures. It will not harm me or affect my cultivation."

"So that was the origin of the world! To help them quickly break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, such a supreme treasure is actually needed?"

Indeed, the origin of that world is of great benefit to me now, and it will naturally have an even greater effect on cultivators at the Immortal Emperor realm.

"With the addition of other treasures and methods, it wouldn't be surprising if cultivators at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level could break through to the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in a short time." Luo Tianxian muttered to herself, a knowing glint in her black gem-like eyes. "Then do you have enough world origin and other resources and treasures? Do you plan to help them break through to the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm first, and then engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with them?" Luo Tianxian asked, looking directly at Li Daoming.

"The world's origin and resources I possess are naturally enough to help all of them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short period of time."

"However..." Li Daoming seemed to hesitate.

"But what?" Luo Tianxian asked, frowning. She knew in her heart that what she had said before was all nonsense, and the important thing was what came next.

"Using some of the world's origins, along with other resources, treasures, and various methods, it is not only useful for quasi-Immortal Emperors, but can also help quasi-Immortal Emperors break through to the peak of the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in a short time. It can also help cultivators at the peak of the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm to cultivate, increasing their chances of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm. It can also help cultivators at the Immortal Emperor realm to cultivate, allowing them to make rapid progress."

"Furthermore, you have practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with me, and you know the effects of it."

"Thanks to these, the Wuji Sacred Court I founded not only had a few of my Daoist partners successfully break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but also several other Immortal Emperors."

As for Quasi-Immortal Emperors, their numbers are even greater, exceeding one hundred, including many Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Ancestors who have forged their own paths.

"The origin of that world and all its resources and treasures were created by them by delaying their own cultivation and using the power of the Boundless Emperor Realm, the myriad worlds, and the Immortal Emperor's array. They don't even have enough for themselves."

"So you mean you can't help them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short time?" Luo Tianxian asked in a deep voice.

"Of course not!" Li Daoming shook his head gently.

Since he had already spoken, he naturally intended to first help You Lian and the others break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short period of time, and then cultivate with them in Yin-Yang dual cultivation to help them break through to Half-Step Immortal Emperor as soon as possible.

Otherwise, why would he have spoken up?
He wasn't idle, nor was he interested in stirring up Luo Tianxian's hopes only to extinguish them, thus toying with her.

As for why he didn't just agree directly instead of beating around the bush, if he had this intention, then why didn't he?

That's because things that are too easily obtained are often not cherished, and may even be taken for granted.

He didn't want them to give up a lot of world origin, massive resources and treasures, and use various methods to help You Lian and the others break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short time. Not only would they not be grateful to him, but after breaking through to Immortal Emperor, they would not work for him to pay off their debts. Instead, they would think that this was what he should give them and that they deserved it.

Moreover, he wanted to take this opportunity to bring Youlian and the others into the Wuji Holy Court.

They have all forged their own paths. If he first helps them break through to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in a short period of time, then he can cultivate Yin and Yang with them.

Moreover, when practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with them, helping them refine and absorb some of the world's origin, they have at least an 80-90% chance of breaking through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

After they break through to the half-step Immortal Emperor level, they can cultivate with him in Yin-Yang dual cultivation several times. In just tens of thousands of years, they can refine their physical body and primordial spirit to the Immortal Emperor level and truly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

In other words, within tens of thousands of years, twenty to thirty true Immortal Emperors will be born among them.
