A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 13

On the other side, Wu Hao was making his way to the Central Region, but he couldn’t overlook the Southern Region either. Although the likelihood of finding his wife in the Central Region was higher, there remained a slim chance she could be in the Southern Region as well.

During this time spent searching for Su Qiaoran, Wu Hao had a rare opportunity to appreciate the landscapes and human interactions within the Xuantian Realm. Now nearing a hundred years of age, he had spent much of his earlier years focused on how to grow stronger. With some degree of self-protection now within his grasp, it was only natural for him to relax a little.

However, whenever he passed by certain places and encountered heavenly materials or earthly treasures, Wu Hao would not miss the opportunity to collect them. Just as a passing goose leaves feathers or a locust sweeps the area, after all, if these treasures were given to Wu Yifan, it could turn into a return of a hundredfold, so how could he let them slip away?

Just before reaching a particular spot, Wu Hao spotted a figure as pure and white as snow darting swiftly through the forest, with several Golden Core human cultivators in pursuit behind her.

“I didn’t expect to encounter the legendary Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox within this small Wan Cong Mountain Range. If we can catch her and sell her, it would definitely be a considerable fortune for us!”

“Are you stupid? Sell her? If raised properly, a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox can break through to the Great Emperor level! With a Great Emperor spirit pet, we could traverse the entire Xuantian Realm, even the four Great Sacred Lands would have to consider us with caution!”

“Ha ha ha, little spirit fox, surrender willingly! You can’t escape!”

In the sky, the three early-stage Golden Core cultivators had expressions of delight on their faces as they looked down at the little spirit fox fleeing rapidly, their excitement hard to contain.

They hadn’t expected that their simple venture to the Wan Cong Mountain Range to gather some heavenly materials would lead them to fortuitously encounter the legendary Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox.

If they had come across a more powerful Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, they would certainly have fled. However, the one they encountered was merely a three-tailed version, comparable in strength to a Spiritual Sea realm human cultivator.

As such, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox could only run when facing the three early-stage Golden Core cultivators. Yet continuing to flee was no solution. If the pursuit continued, it was inevitable that the little spirit fox would be captured by the three cultivators behind her.

“Damn human cultivators, I just want to live!” the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox thought inwardly. The term ‘demonic beast’ or ‘spirit beast’ referred to beings that had developed spiritual intelligence, and how could the intelligence of a Spiritual Sea realm Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox be lower than that of a human?

However, only after a demonic beast has reached the Nascent Soul stage can it begin to speak human language, and it can only take on a human form after achieving Divine Transformation. So, despite the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox’s desperation, it could only run around aimlessly, hoping for a chance of survival.

Unfortunately, it was soon surrounded by the three early-stage Golden Core cultivators, leaving it with nowhere to escape. Seeing this situation, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox bared its teeth and glared at them ferociously, but as the pressure from the early-stage Golden Core cultivators descended, it couldn’t help but be suppressed to the ground.

“Hahaha, little spirit fox, just surrender quietly! They say that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox clan consists of stunning beings. Once I break through to the Divine Transformation stage, I’ll have quite the fun!”

One of the early-stage Golden Core cultivators looked at the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox with eyes full of desire, for the most renowned aspect of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Foxes was not just their talent, but their beauty. Therefore, upon discovering a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, powerful forces would typically take action to capture and tame it, transforming it into a human form when they achieved Divine Transformation to dual-cultivate.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

“Oh, I didn’t expect to encounter a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox here.”

A figure appeared before the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, wearing a slightly surprised expression as he spoke.

It was Wu Hao. He had initially planned to pass through this area directly but reconsidered. The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox only needed the right resources to break through to the Great Emperor stage, and keeping her might allow the Wu Family to have a guardian spirit beast.

After some thought, Wu Hao decided to take action.

At the moment Wu Hao appeared, the expressions of the three early-stage Golden Core cultivators were filled with shock, clearly not expecting such a powerful figure to be present.

However, after regaining their composure, one of the early-stage cultivators took a deep breath and said, “Senior, this Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was the one we had our eyes on first. If you take action now, it may not end well for you.”

“Oh, is that so? What if I say I’m going to take action anyway?”

Wu Hao coldly glanced at them; from the start, he had no intention of allowing them to live.

After all, having a being like the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, if word got out, would certainly attract trouble. So, to eliminate future risks, with a mere thought, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, swiftly overwhelming the three early-stage cultivators, killing them instantly.

For Wu Hao, eliminating cultivators of this level was a matter of thought.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, prone on the ground, was dumbfounded by this scene. It had never imagined that such a powerful being existed in the world, taking out the three human cultivators that had made it feel so cornered in an instant.

However, the most important aspect was Wu Hao’s appearance. If his looks before he began his cultivation journey could be described as ordinary, now Wu Hao could definitely be considered a handsome man among celestial beings.

Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox could sense an extremely warm feeling from Wu Hao, all because he had cultivated the Heavenly Emperor’s Myriad Dao Sutra. As a result, all of heaven and earth sought to approach him, for he carried the essence of their shared origins.

However, Wu Hao clearly wasn’t thinking too much about that. He turned his gaze to the prone Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox and spoke, “Are you willing to become my spirit companion?”

Wu Hao wouldn’t force her; if she declined, he would simply eliminate her. Compared to having great talent, what he valued even more was loyalty.

Naturally, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox did not refuse and soon offered a portion of her life essence. Seeing this, Wu Hao nodded with satisfaction and gathered the life essence in his palm.

Before long, Wu Hao successfully signed a spirit companion contract with the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox; thus, he had successfully taken her under his wing (not as a harem member; this story has only one female lead, which is Su Qiaoran).

“Little one, you probably don’t have a name yet. If that’s the case, let’s adopt my surname, Wu, and your name shall be Wu Hu.”

Wu Hao thought for a moment and then gave the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox a name.

As for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, she lay on Wu Hao’s shoulder, excitedly nodding in agreement upon hearing the name he had chosen.

The reason Wu Hao named her Wu Hu was simply because, “Wu Hu, take flight!”
