A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Wu Li’s Stunning Performance

Time flew by, and soon half a month had passed; the day of the disciple competition for the Xiaoyao Sect had arrived. During this time, Wu Li had been deeply focused on preparing for the competition, contemplating how to secure third place to obtain the Creation Flower Seed. However, Wu Li was only at the Intermediate Stage of Tribulation Crossing, and the competition only allowed disciples below the Saint Realm to participate. To ensure he could claim third place, there was still much preparation Wu Li needed to undertake.

Currently, Wu Li’s Spacetime Divine Body hadn’t erupted with significant power; it could only help him cross two small stages, giving him strengths comparable to the peak of Tribulation Crossing.

“Using Talisman or pills is not permitted in the competition, so I can only rely on Arrays to increase my odds. Fortunately, I have some accomplishments in Arrays, which should assist me in achieving third place,” Wu Li thought to himself. After all, the Zhantian Sect’s disciple competition aimed to promote interaction and improve disciples’ abilities; how could they allow participants to use pills or talismans, which would be akin to cheating?

Initially, even Arrays weren’t allowed at all, but that restriction had been gradually lifted later on.

Wu Li examined the several sword formations and trapping Arrays he had prepared, nodding in satisfaction; he believed that with these formations, defeating someone at the Saint level shouldn’t be an issue.

Before long, Wu Li also saw information about his opponent.

“Wang Chan, peak Tribulation Crossing cultivation, just the test I need to evaluate my strength.” Wu Li focused on Wang Chan’s information, thinking to himself.

Meanwhile, after Wang Chan saw Wu Li’s details, it took him a while to recall just who Wu Li was.

“A disciple from Free and Unfettered Peak? In that case, I’ll use you to test my strength; at Intermediate Stage of Tribulation Crossing, I can easily suppress you.” Wang Chan was unaware of the kind of monster he was up against, and the moment he realized it would be when he faced defeat.

The day before the competition, Cai Tiankun and Nangong Ya appeared before Wu Li. Seeing his senior brother and second senior sister visit unexpectedly, Wu Li nodded slightly and asked with curiosity, “Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, what brings you here?”

“Cough, Little Junior Brother, there’s no need to be nervous about tomorrow’s competition; just give it your all,” Nangong Ya coughed lightly and said seriously.

Beside him, Cai Tiankun spoke very directly, “Little Junior Brother, the sect’s matching mechanism is definitely random; encountering someone at the peak of Tribulation Crossing is just bad luck. However, if you want to win, I can give you some special training!”

Only now did Wu Li finally understand that his Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister had come to comfort him after seeing his opponent, mistakenly thinking he would lose.

Thinking of this, Wu Li couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated, but he solemnly clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, for your concern, but a mere peak of Tribulation Crossing won’t make me lose. Just wait for tomorrow’s show; I’ll defeat Wang Chan within half a stick of incense!”

Seeing Wu Li’s confident demeanor, Cai Tiankun and Nangong Ya couldn’t help but hesitate. Could their little junior brother really beat Wang Chan at the peak of Tribulation Crossing?

But there was no time to ponder further; they had to choose to trust Wu Li.

Soon, the preliminary round of the competition arrived. As his opponent, Wang Chan had long since entered the small world and was waiting.

When Wu Li stepped into the small world, he saw Wang Chan sitting cross-legged on the ground, exuding an aura of unparalleled supremacy. After all, he was at the peak of Tribulation Crossing and had received the Master’s personal teachings; he could even stand up to a Saint.

The moment Wu Li entered, Wang Chan opened his eyes, stood up, and displayed an air of disdain.

He could sense that Wu Li was merely an unremarkable Intermediate Stage Tribulation Crossing disciple, entirely unworthy of being his opponent.

With this in mind, Wang Chan spoke in an exceedingly calm tone, “You’re a disciple of Peak Master Chen, right? You’re not my match. Just admit defeat proactively; otherwise, I will make your loss quite embarrassing later on.”

Wu Li simply shook his head lightly. “I, Wu, never engage in battles without confidence. The fact that I am here means that the only one who will lose today is you.”

“Hmph, quite bold! In that case, let me see your strength!”

After Wang Chan finished speaking, he charged straight at Wu Li.

Outside, Cai Tiankun and Nangong Ya couldn’t help but show visible signs of tension upon seeing this. Only Chen Ping’an remained calm, as he knew Wu Li well enough to be certain he wouldn’t lose to someone at the peak of Tribulation Crossing.

However, standing still and motionless, Wu Li looked as if he were frozen with fear in Wang Chan’s eyes, prompting a sneer from him.

“I was still thinking about what kind of Heaven’s Chosen could become Peak Master Chen’s Direct Disciple, but I didn’t expect it to be a softie!”

As Wang Chan’s words fell, Wu Li finally made his move.

With a wave of his hand, an astonishing eighty thousand golden long swords appeared around Wu Li, sweeping towards Wang Chan.

Outside, Cai Tiankun, Nangong Ya, and the observing disciples couldn’t help but be stunned.

“What a sword formation!”

“Wow, it looks like there are a full eighty thousand long swords, and they’re all top-quality Heaven Rank spirit swords!”

“But what’s most shocking is Wu Li’s spiritual power, right? To manipulate so many top-quality Heaven Rank spirit swords, Wu Li’s spiritual power must have surpassed the Tribulation Crossing stage long ago.”

Listening to the discussions around him, Chen Ping’an couldn’t help but feel satisfaction in his heart and nodded slightly. Not bad; this is how it should be to be his disciple.

At that moment, Nangong Ya turned to Cai Tiankun, unable to contain her curiosity.

“Senior Brother, with your strength, could you reach that level like Little Junior Brother now?”

“I could, but I’m at the peak of the Great Saint!”

After a long silence, Cai Tiankun nodded. However, being at the peak of the Great Saint, even at full capacity, he wouldn’t be able to control more spirit swords than Wu Li.

So, does this mean that Wu Li now possesses combat power at the level of the peak Great Saint?

The people outside were extremely shocked, not to mention Wang Chan inside.

“Wow, what a cheat!”
