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

Chapter 901 Dilemma
Li Daoming cultivated Yin and Yang with Luo Tianxian for nearly two thousand years before finally ending their cultivation.

Inside the Yin-Yang Hall, an incomparably profound and magnificent Yin-Yang Taiji Dao diagram slowly dissipated, and the melodious and uplifting Daoist chants gradually ceased.

At this moment, the lingering yin-yang energy in the hall had not yet dissipated. Luo Tianxian had just emerged from the pleasure of dual cultivation. Li Daoming, while fondling the softness in his hands, spoke:

"Celestial Immortal, ten thousand years from now, I will no longer engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with you alone. If you wish to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with me, you must either do so with my eight Daoist partners, or with the Snow Empress, Lotus Ancestor, Jinli... and the others!"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxian's eyes, which were still somewhat clear but also held a hint of confusion and allure, widened in anger.

The confusion and allure in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by anger, his heart surging with rage.

She even began to doubt whether she had misheard. Li Daoming actually wanted her to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with another woman. What did this mean? Was he trying to humiliate her?
And she had just finished her Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, isn't this going too far?
She had once heard the saying, "Once you've pulled up your pants, you don't recognize the person anymore." But he hadn't even pulled up his pants yet! And he was already recognizing her?
"Impossible! You're delusional!" Luo Tianxian gritted her teeth and continued, "If you dare to bring it up again, or dare to do anything reckless, don't blame me for turning against you."

"Furthermore, you don't need to make any moves against Xue Di, Lian Zu, Jin Li... If you dare to treat them like that, we certainly won't let it go easily."

As she spoke, Luo Tianxian's aura surged, and she was about to push away Li Daoming, who knew her background.

"Don't rush, let me finish!" Sensing Luo Tianxian's anger, determination, and actions, Li Daoming was neither worried nor anxious.

While circulating the Yin-Yang Great Dao to block the Dao fluctuations erupting from Luo Tianxian, he calmly said:

“In the past, when I practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with my Daoist partner, imperial concubine, secondary concubine, and imperial attendant, it was not a one-on-one Yin-Yang dual cultivation, but rather multiple of them together.”

"As for the reason, I will send it to you. Think it over carefully and then reply to me! If you, Xue Di Lian Zu Jin Li, and the others are still unwilling, I will not force you!"

After speaking, Li Daoming used his divine sense to transmit to Luo Tianxian the reasons and necessity for him to have them cultivate Yin and Yang with him.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxian hesitated for a moment, but still used her divine sense to receive the message transmitted by Li Daoming.

Having received the message from Li Daoming and learned why he wanted them to cultivate Yin and Yang with him, Luo Tianxian fell silent, her heart filled with complex emotions, caught in a dilemma.

She also knew that the message Li Daoming sent her was entirely true.

Her current cultivation level is at the peak of Immortal Emperor. She and he practice Yin-Yang dual cultivation. He will help her refine and absorb some of the world's origin, raising her mental realm to the half-step Hunyuan level. Each time she practices Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, she can last for nearly two thousand years.

Snow Empress, Lotus Ancestor, Jinli, Xuansu... It was their first time practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him. Their cultivation level was at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Because they absorbed and refined some of the world's origin, and because it was their first time practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, they were able to persist for more than two hundred years.

Now that he has broken through to the half-step Immortal Emperor level, even if this is not the first time he has practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him and has not refined and absorbed the world's origin, he should be able to persist for four or five hundred years.

Currently, among the thirty-two female quasi-Immortal Emperors who have forged their own paths, twenty have already engaged in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, and eighteen have broken through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm. If each of them were to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him individually, it would take him at least eight or nine thousand years to cultivate with each of them once.

And this doesn't even include Li Daoming's original Daoist partners, imperial concubines, secondary consorts, and imperial attendants.

There are a total of eight Immortal Emperors, more than a hundred Quasi-Immortal Emperors, twenty to thirty thousand Immortal Kings, and a few hundred True Immortals. If they all want to engage in Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation with him individually, it would probably take him forty to fifty thousand years, or even longer, to cultivate with each of them once.

Even if they don't cultivate Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him individually, but instead cultivate Yin-Yang dual cultivation with several to ten of them at the same time, it would probably take him eight or nine thousand years to cultivate Yin-Yang dual cultivation with each of them once.

However, his empress, imperial concubines, and secondary consorts were not much weaker than them in terms of cultivation and strength, and in fact, their talent and potential were mostly higher than theirs. They had known him for longer and their feelings for him were deeper than theirs...

If they could cultivate Yin and Yang with him alone, while his empress, imperial concubines, and secondary consorts had to cultivate Yin and Yang with him together, why would they be willing?
Even if they were willing, each of them would have to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him once, which would take at least 20,000 years.

Moreover, once Snow Empress, Lotus Ancestor, Jinli... truly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, they can maintain Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him alone for at least a thousand years.

In addition, there are twelve quasi-immortal emperors who have not yet engaged in yin-yang dual cultivation with him. If they were to break through to the peak of quasi-immortal emperor and then engage in yin-yang dual cultivation with him, they would likely be able to break through to the half-step immortal emperor level. After engaging in yin-yang dual cultivation with him a few more times, they might actually break through to the immortal emperor level within 100,000 years.

At that time, each of them will have to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him once, which will take not 20,000 years, but 40,000 to 50,000 years, or even longer.

She could only cultivate Yin and Yang with him once every forty to fifty thousand years. If she wanted to break through the limit of the Immortal Emperor and then attempt to reach the half-step Hunyuan or Sacrifice Dao realm, it would take her at least a million years, or even more.

Can the Desolate Heavenly Emperor really hold out for a million years against three strange progenitors and ten strange dark immortal emperors all by himself?
I'm afraid not!
She estimated that he could only hold out for a few hundred thousand years at most, and if the strange dark races came to his aid, the Desolate Emperor could only hold out for a shorter time.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, if she cannot break through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm or the Half-Step Primordial Realm, she will be no match for any of the strange ancestors.

In addition, Li Daoming's eight Daoist partners could only engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation once every forty to fifty thousand years.

Even the one with the highest cultivation level among them, the Ruthless Empress, could not possibly break through to the half-step Hunyuan or Sacrifice Dao realm within hundreds of thousands of years, since she has not yet broken through to the peak of Immortal Emperor!
As for the other seven, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian have already broken through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, and should have a good chance of breaking through to the peak of Immortal Emperor. However, the other four have not yet broken through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, and are afraid that they will not be able to break through to the peak of Immortal Emperor.

Furthermore, Xue Di, Lian Zu, Jin Li... all thirty-two of them should be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm before the final battle begins, but none of them should be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

If that's the case, she and Li Daoming's eight Daoist partners, along with the thirty-two of them including Xue Di and Lian Zu, would be lucky to hold off three or four of the strange progenitors.

However, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor fought against three strange progenitors and ten strange dark immortal emperors for hundreds of thousands of years, so his consumption and injuries must have been considerable.

Even if he still has the strength to fight again, he probably has very little left and cannot fight for long. He will need to spend a lot of time recuperating before he can return to his prime.
