A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: The Final List, Smooth Advancement

As time went by, the Four Saints Competition quickly reached its climax. At this stage, the outstanding participants could no longer rely on luck for victory; they had to display their true strength.

The members of the Wu Family, due to their already impressive abilities and solid foundation, cut through the competition and successfully advanced to the top hundred.

As for Nangong Ya, it was a combination of both talent and luck that enabled her to make it into the top hundred as well.

“Yay! Second Senior Sister made it into the top hundred!”

Upon seeing Nangong Ya’s advancement, Wu Li exclaimed excitedly.

Cai Tiankun nearby shared the same sentiment. The Zhantian Sect had sent five people—he and Nangong Ya, along with three other Great Saints from different peaks, but they had all been eliminated and had returned to the Zhantian Sect earlier, leaving just the two of them on the scene.

Even Nangong Ya was surprised by her entry into the top hundred; after all, she had initially thought that it would be impossible for her to reach such a rank.

However, since she was already in, she decided to adapt to the situation.

Lin Zixin and the other outstanding cultivators from the Four Great Sacred Lands also managed to sneak their way into the top hundred, earning their qualification to enter the Chaos Secret Realm.

Before long, the Four Saints Competition was nearing its conclusion. Unsurprisingly, Wu Yifan took first place, and Lin Zixin secured the second position.

After all, Lin Zixin was a Quasi-Emperor-level powerhouse, and there were very few who could match her in strength. Even Wu Rulong and the others would have found it difficult to compete against her, particularly since they wouldn’t use Imperial Weapons against Lin Zixin, given that she was Wu Yifan’s Dao Companion.

After the Four Saints Competition concluded, Wu Hao sensed that the Chaos Secret Realm in the Central Region was about to open, with about half a month remaining until they could enter directly.

“However, I wonder if I can get in to take a look? It seems there aren’t any realm restrictions for the Chaos Secret Realm, right?” Wu Hao thought to himself. The only requirement for entry into the Chaos Secret Realm was that the cultivator must be under a thousand years old, and the number of participants was fixed at one hundred.

This was also the reason why the Four Great Sacred Lands held the Four Saints Competition; if they monopolized the Chaos Secret Realm, it would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from other forces over time.

With that thought in mind, Wu Hao decided to take action, but who should voluntarily give up their place in the Chaos Secret Realm?

Wu Hao was not a ruthless person, so he naturally wouldn’t do something as cruel as wiping out a force just to replace their outstanding cultivator in the Chaos Secret Realm.

He also wouldn’t use his cultivation level to pressure someone into giving up their entry for him to take their place.

“Senior, are you planning to enter the Chaos Secret Realm?”

Lin Shuirou and the others widened their eyes in disbelief upon hearing Wu Hao’s words. After all, while Wu Hao appeared young, there were many ageless beings in the Xuantian Realm, coupled with Wu Hao’s formidable cultivation, so they didn’t perceive him as being very young. However, now he claimed to be under a thousand years old, raising doubts about who would believe that.

But seeing Wu Hao’s serious expression, they found it hard to voice their skepticism; after all, what if he decided to eliminate them in a fit of anger?

“Um, Senior, one of my disciples is willing to give up their place in the Chaos Secret Realm, so in that case, please accept their spot!”

In merely an instant, Li Taibai was the first to speak up, which made Lei Wanyun curse under his breath, calling him an Old Fox for stealing the initiative.

Although entering the Chaos Secret Realm guaranteed at least the status of Quasi-Emperor, anyone with a discerning eye could see that fostering a good relationship with Wu Hao was far more important than just entering the Secret Realm. If Wu Hao were pleased and helped them breakthrough to become Great Emperors, wouldn’t that be a huge gain?

Upon hearing Li Taibai’s words, Wu Hao couldn’t help but sigh, then hesitantly asked, “Is it really okay? Will it create any difficulties for you? If it’s a concern, you can certainly refuse.”

Seeing Wu Hao’s expression, Li Taibai felt a bit like Wu Hao was taking advantage of his position, but he quickly forced a friendly smile and replied, “How could it be? Senior, you are esteemed in our Xuantian Realm; your happiness is what matters.”

“Alright, it’s not as if This Seat is someone who forces others. Since one person from your Green Lotus Holy Land is willing to decline their entry into the Chaos Secret Realm, then let this pill be considered a compensation from This Seat to your Green Lotus Holy Land.”

After finishing his words, Wu Hao retrieved a pill directly from the System Space.

The moment that pill appeared, the leaders of the Four Great Sacred Lands felt their breaths quicken involuntarily. They were all Quasi-Emperors, but they could still sense an incredibly powerful allure emanating from the pill in Wu Hao’s hand.

That sensation felt akin to the longing for power that the weak often experienced.

Swallowing hard, Li Taibai and the others suppressed their inner desires before turning to Wu Hao to inquire.

“Senior, what is this?”

“This pill is the Blood Emperor Pill. As the name implies, if you swallow and refine it, you can become a Great Emperor. However, it will have a significant impact on your future cultivation and may even damage your foundation. Therefore, I do not recommend taking it unless absolutely necessary,” Wu Hao explained. The Blood Emperor Pill would damage their foundation, which would affect future cultivation, but it wouldn’t completely close the door to progress.

Nevertheless, Wu Hao wouldn’t give the Blood Emperor Pill to the people of the Wu Family to consume. He preferred for them to cultivate step by step to become Great Emperors so that their combat ability could grow stronger.

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, Li Taibai and the others brightened slightly. For them, being able to break through to the rank of Great Emperor was already a considerable achievement. As for the potential impact on their foundation affecting future cultivation, when even Great Emperors struggled to break through, why would they worry about future matters?

“Thank you, Senior! If you need anything in the future, our Green Lotus Holy Land will do our utmost to assist you!” Li Taibai said sincerely, bowing ninety degrees as he accepted the pill Wu Hao handed him.

This was his moment to pledge loyalty to Wu Hao; after all, Li Taibai knew that if a problem arose that even Wu Hao couldn’t handle, their Green Lotus Holy Land would also be unable to solve it, so he only said this as a formality.

Wu Hao didn’t mind, as having more subordinates was always better.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuirou and the other two looked at the Blood Emperor Pill in Li Taibai’s hands with desire in their eyes, but they felt embarrassed to speak up with Wu Hao right there. They could only watch as Li Taibai proudly stored the Blood Emperor Pill away, his expression full of pride and indulgence.
