A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: The Breath Beyond the Great Emperor!

“However, the ferocious beasts in the God Burial Valley seem to have lost their self-awareness, as if they exist solely for the purpose of killing.” Wu Yifan’s expression grew serious as he recalled the ten beasts he had slain.

There are several differences between ferocious beasts and demon beasts, with two being the most significant. The first is that demon beasts possess intelligence, whereas ferocious beasts only know how to slaughter. Secondly, ferocious beasts do not experience fear; any creature confronted by a powerful entity would typically feel fear and hesitate, but ferocious beasts do not retreat. Even immortals, if they appear before them, would be charged at without hesitation.

“Forget it, I’ll just continue searching. I don’t understand why so many people are eager to enter the God Burial Valley. If it weren’t for the purpose of improving one’s cultivation, I might not have entered either,” Wu Yifan thought to himself as he continued to explore the valley.

Little did he know that a ferocious beast exceeding the Great Emperor level was heading in his direction.

“Disciple, have you really obtained the inheritance of the Chaos Great Emperor?” On Sky Martial Mountain, Wu Shengna’s eyes lit up with joy upon learning that Wu Yidao had received the Chaos Great Emperor’s legacy.

Wu Yidao nodded slightly. “It was merely by chance that I acquired the inheritance of the Chaos Great Emperor.”

“This is not mere chance; the Chaos Great Emperor is the most powerful Heaven’s Chosen in the history of our Xuantian Realm. His inheritance isn’t something that can be secured just by luck; it’s what you truly deserve.” Wu Shengna shook his head gently, genuinely happy for his disciple from the bottom of his heart.

However, at that moment, Wu Yidao’s expression turned serious as he quietly asked, “Master, what exactly is beneath Sky Martial Mountain?”

Wu Shengna was briefly taken aback, but he quickly managed a bitter smile. “Have you sensed it?”

“Yes, I hadn’t detected it before, but after receiving the inheritance of the Chaos Great Emperor and returning, I felt a powerful presence beneath Sky Martial Mountain. It’s a breath that surpasses that of the Great Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Shengna let out a helpless sigh.

“Well, since you already know, it’s time for me to tell you about this matter. It was something I should have informed you about eventually; I’m just telling you a bit earlier.”

“Under Sky Martial Mountain, there is a powerful demon beast that does not belong to our Xuantian Realm, or rather, it’s a demon beast from another world!”

At this point, Wu Shengna’s expression became extremely grave, and afterward, Wu Yidao learned from him about the circumstances surrounding the situation.

Countless years ago, there were even more Quasi-Emperors in Sky Martial Mountain than in the Four Great Sacred Lands. At that time, it truly became the Fifth Great Sacred Land beyond the four. However, one day, the sky above Sky Martial Mountain was torn apart, and a demon beast with an incredibly terrifying aura appeared on top of it.

This scene was also perceived by cultivators throughout the entire Xuantian Realm. The Holy Lords of the Four Great Sacred Lands immediately rushed to Sky Martial Mountain with Imperial Weapons to assist, but even so, our Xuantian Realm still paid a heavy price and could not eliminate it.

In the end, with no other options left, an Array Master set up a great formation within Sky Martial Mountain, gathering the forces of the entire Xuantian Realm, which was how that demon beast was sealed away.

However, the core of the formation is the master of Sky Martial Mountain. This is also why, when Wu Yidao encounters danger, no matter how much Wu Shengna worries, he cannot leave Sky Martial Mountain.

“Then, Master, why is it that the people of the Xuantian Realm do not know about such an important matter?”

Wu Yidao thought of something and inquired with a solemn expression.

A demon beast exceeding the Great Emperor level is enough to obliterate the entire Xuantian Realm, so by normal circumstances, they shouldn’t be completely unaware.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shengna gently shook his head.

“Back then, to ensure that the cultivators of the Xuantian Realm could cultivate in peace, we from Sky Martial Mountain teamed up with the Four Great Sacred Lands and the top forces to suppress this matter. And as three hundred thousand years passed, the events of that time have been forgotten by everyone, with only the successive masters of Sky Martial Mountain retaining that memory.”

“Moreover, and importantly, I can sense that the formation is likely unable to suppress that demon beast for much longer. If it breaks free from its seal, then our Sky Martial Mountain will suffer catastrophic consequences.”

Hearing his Master’s words, Wu Yidao fell silent. After a long time, he spoke with an unwavering gaze.

“Master, how much longer can you suppress that demon beast?”

Wu Shengna was momentarily taken aback but still spoke the truth.

“About five thousand years. After five thousand years, I will no longer be able to hold on, and the demon beast will break free.”

“Five thousand years, I understand! I will break through to above the Great Emperor within five thousand years, and when that time comes, I will deal with the demon beast!”

Wu Yidao first lowered his head in thought, then spoke with unwavering determination. He was absolutely confident that within five thousand years, he could break through to the Realm of Mortal World Immortal. Although he couldn’t ascertain the demon beast’s realm due to the array, since recorded history began in the Xuantian Realm, the only Great Emperor besides the Chaos Great Emperor was another Emperor. This meant that the demon beast was likely at the Intermediate or Late Stage of the Great Emperor; otherwise, with the strength of a Mortal World Immortal, he wouldn’t even be able to hold out against a Quasi-Emperor wielding an Imperial Weapon, let alone seal it.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shengna felt a wave of melancholy and nodded. “Keep going; I believe in you.”

With his goal set, Wu Yidao returned to train even harder. Watching Wu Yidao’s departing figure, Wu Shengna couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow. At that moment, Chen Wushuang appeared beside him, a hint of concern on his face as he spoke. “Sect Leader, don’t you really need to tell the Holy Son that you only have five thousand years left to live?”

“There’s no need to tell him; that would only increase his worries. This is my life. You should prepare yourself; during these five thousand years, I will help you break through to Quasi-Emperor Peak. At that time, you will take over my responsibilities.”

Wu Shengna gently waved his hand, then continued speaking. Chen Wushuang fell silent for a moment, then nodded heavily in agreement. “I understand, Sect Leader!”

“Mm.”

Time flew by rapidly, and soon two and a half years had passed. During this time, Wu Hao’s cultivation advanced from the Late Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Peak. Other than that, nothing significant had occurred in the entire Xuantian Realm. Additionally, the most important event was that the Green Lotus Holy Land and Myriad Flower Holy Land held a grand feast to celebrate their forces producing a Great Emperor, inviting all the powers of the Xuantian Realm.

Meanwhile, in God Burial Valley, Wu Yifan finally found himself unable to resist and encountered a ferocious beast above the level of a Great Emperor.
