A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 12

“Now that I’ve broken through to the Great Emperor, it’s time to find my wife.”

After reaching the Great Emperor stage, Wu Hao immediately thought of his wife. After all, years of feelings were no joke, and he certainly couldn’t be alone for the rest of his life. So, out of both emotion and reason, he had to bring Su Qiaoran back.

However, before leaving, he needed to ensure everything at the Wu Family was settled. He couldn’t allow his stronghold to be compromised while he was away.

Soon, Wu Hao called Wu Rulong over. When he heard that Wu Hao intended to bring their mother back, Wu Rulong’s expression changed, becoming extremely complex. Although he knew their mother had not left them on purpose all those years ago, living without a mother had caused him considerable pain over the years.

But what could he do? As Su Qiaoran’s son, he couldn’t ignore her situation.

“I understand, Father. You go ahead; I’ll take care of things here at the Wu Family.”

During these years, under Wu Hao’s guidance, the Wu Family’s business guild had become the largest in the Southern Region. Wu Rulong had also become a peak Tribulation Crossing expert, just a step away from breaking through to the Saint level.

Of course, thanks to the Wu Family’s financial backing, they had invited three early-stage Saint Kings to support the Wu business guild, and with the contingencies Wu Hao had left behind, even a Quasi-Emperor would find it difficult to act against them.

“Alright, I’ll bring your mother back as soon as possible.”

After saying this, Wu Hao set off towards the outside of the Wu Family.

As for how to find Su Qiaoran, Wu Hao didn’t have many leads. After all, when he had interacted with Su Qiaoran, she was in a state of amnesia, and he didn’t know her background.

After her memories returned, Su Qiaoran hadn’t revealed her origins to ensure Wu Hao and Wu Rulong’s safety; she had only given them enough resources to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage before leaving.

“However, since she said she was framed, it must be related to some power struggle.”

“Let’s investigate forces in the Southern Region or Central Region to see if the name ‘Su Qiaoran’ comes up.”

Wu Hao quickly formed a plan. He regretted that Su Qiaoran had left no trace behind; otherwise, if he had any of her personal items or even a strand of her hair, he could have tracked her down through her aura.

But it was too late for regrets. He could only take one step at a time. However, with his Great Emperor-level cultivation, finding Su Qiaoran wouldn’t take more than a few years.

Meanwhile, within the Myriad Flower Holy Land in the Central Region.

As one of the four major superpowers, the Myriad Flower Holy Land is naturally incredibly powerful. The Myriad Flower Patriarch within it has reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Emperor cultivation, and with the assistance of Imperial Weapons, even a Great Emperor at the early stage would find himself challenged in battle.

Currently, the position of Holy Maiden in the Myriad Flower Holy Land is vacant. Su Qiaoran was one of the candidates for Holy Maiden back in the day, but she was framed, which caused her to fall to the Southern Region and become Wu Hao’s wife.

After regaining her memories, Su Qiaoran returned to the Myriad Flower Holy Land. Now, after all these years, she has relied on her immense talent and an iron-fisted approach to become the most likely candidate for Holy Maiden.

However, at this moment, Su Qiaoran was sitting by the window in her attic, gazing at the blue sky outside, lost in thought, murmuring to herself.

“Husband, I wonder how you and our child are doing now. But don’t worry, once I become Holy Maiden, I will bring you and our child over, and then we will be reunited as a family.”

Su Qiaoran has now broken through to the peak of Saint, just a step away from becoming a Great Saint.

In the Myriad Flower Holy Land, apart from Su Qiaoran, there are three other candidates for Holy Maiden, with two of them being at the peak of Void Refinement, making them practically eliminated from the competition.

The only remaining candidate is in the later stage of Saint, named Murong Xue.

But at this moment, Murong Xue is in her dojo, her expression as dark as it can be. She had not anticipated that her scheme to eliminate Su Qiaoran would backfire, allowing that despicable woman the chance to return and surpass her, becoming the most likely candidate for Holy Maiden.

However, a thought occurred to Murong Xue, and a smirk of derision appeared on her face.

“What you didn’t realize, Su Qiaoran, is that I am the daughter of the Holy Lord. Just wait; I will take action again and erase you. That way, becoming Holy Maiden will be a matter of course.”

What no one knows is that Murong Xue, as one of the Holy Maiden candidates, is actually the daughter of Murong Huang, the Holy Lord of the Myriad Flower Holy Land. However, the selection of the Holy Maiden is never based on status, but rather on talent.

The Holy Maiden of the Myriad Flower Holy Land is selected once every hundred years. The requirement to participate is that one must be under a hundred years old, and with only ten years left until the next selection, she must eliminate Su Qiaoran within this time; otherwise, Su Qiaoran will undoubtedly take her position as Holy Maiden.

She, Murong Xue, absolutely cannot allow that to happen.

Quickly, another thought crossed Murong Xue’s mind, and her expression turned vicious.

“I remember that it will be one year until the Magnificent Secret Realm opens. At that time, all the disciples of the Myriad Flower Holy Land will enter it. Su Qiaoran, I can’t wait to see how you survive among three peak Great Saints!”

“Ke ke ke ke ke ke!”

She thought about the imminent prospect of becoming the Holy Maiden of the Myriad Flower Holy Land.Murong Xue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Su Qiaoran remained unaware that she had fallen into Murong Xue’s scheme. At that moment, she was fully focused on breaking through to the Great Saint realm. However, the difficulty of this breakthrough was immense. Even with her extraordinary Spiritual Root, it would still take a long time to complete the breakthrough.

“Is this the Central Region? Indeed, it’s much more prosperous than the Southern Region.”

Wu Yifan had overcome numerous obstacles and finally arrived in the Central Region. Upon reaching, he couldn’t help but feel astonished. This was his first time in the Central Region; he hadn’t expected the concentration of spiritual energy to be almost twice that of the Southern Region.

No wonder more powerful cultivators aspired to come to the Central Region.

However, at that moment, Wu Yifan was not concerned about that. What occupied his mind was how to quickly become stronger in order to take revenge on the three Saint Kings who had severely injured him before.

Now, Wu Yifan could engage in battle with the Saint Kings purely with his physical strength, but if all three attacked together, he wouldn’t necessarily be a match for them.

Thus, Wu Yifan thought that he should wait until the restrictions on his Ancient Sacred Body were lifted to the eighth level, granting him the strength to crush the Supreme before taking action.

Moreover, Wu Yifan was not reckless; he naturally realized that those three Saint Kings might have strong forces backing them. Therefore, to be safe, it would be more prudent to successfully break through to the eighth level in physical strength and elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Saint King before making a move.
