A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl

“No, no, no, my purpose is you, not just one of you.”

Wu Hao gently shook his head. While Duan De was still unsure of what was happening, Wu Yifan understood the Ancestor’s intentions and sighed helplessly as he looked at Duan De.

“Duan De, the Ancestor is here for you, so get ready.”

Duan De: ???

Before Duan De could say anything, Wu Hao spoke first.

“Little Friend, can you lend me that item you had earlier?”

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, Duan De’s face instantly turned pale, and after a long moment, he forced a smile and replied, “Senior, someone as powerful as you should not be interested in my stuff.”

“What do you think?”

Wu Hao looked at Duan De with a half-smile, making him feel a sudden chill in his heart. Duan De was desperately analyzing the situation and weighing his options; it was clear he wouldn’t stand a chance in a confrontation. If he tried to escape, there was no way he could outrun Wu Hao, let alone Wu Yifan.

Soon, Duan De reached the conclusion that he had no choice but to hand over the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl. Now, all he could do was hope that his big brother’s Ancestor would return the Mystic Pearl after using it.

“Senior, you must return it to me once you’re done!”

With a downcast face, Duan De handed the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl to Wu Hao, his expression filled with reluctance as the pearl left his hand.

Wu Hao waved his hand and then said, “We’ll see how it goes.”

After that, Wu Hao began to study the functions of the Mystic Pearl and quickly figured out its capabilities and effects.

Nodding, he manipulated the Mystic Pearl, which proved to be far more effective in his hands than in Duan De’s; for instance, while Duan De could only activate its ability to break through concealment restrictions, he hadn’t tapped into its geomantic inspection capabilities.

As Wu Hao began to manipulate the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl, the blue Mystic Pearl floated up from his hands and swiftly flew eastward.

Seeing this, Wu Hao showed no hesitation and followed the Mystic Pearl along with Su Qiaoran and the others. Li Zhengran, witnessing this, also quietly followed behind.

The Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl passed through many layers of obstacles and finally arrived above the vast ocean. Through wisps of mist, it came before a desolate island. The moment Wu Hao saw the island, his expression changed, and those beside him, including Su Qiaoran, were also captivated by the beautiful scenery of the island, their hearts stirred. It was only when Wu Hao let out a light warning that they snapped back to reality.

“Wake up.”

“What happened?”

Su Qiaoran and the others opened their eyes and spoke, still a bit shaken. They didn’t understand why they had just felt a moment of fuzziness before losing consciousness.

Wu Hao gently shook his head.

“This is because there is an innate ban on the island before you. Just now, you all fell under the enchantment function of the island’s innate ban. If I hadn’t been here, you would have likely remained enchanted until you perished.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoran and the others felt a lingering fear and stepped back a few paces while looking at the island before them.

But soon, Wu Yifan thought of something and asked curiously.

“So, Ancestor, is this the place you chose for our Wu Family in the Upper Realm?”

“Indeed, this is the location I have chosen for our Wu Family.”

Wu Hao nodded, filled with excitement. He hadn’t expected to find such a place—the Eight Dragons Worship the Eight Trigrams in the Upper Realm. Although there were innate bans isolating the area, everything on the island remained fully visible to Wu Hao. He saw eight long, sprawling islands kneeling in a worshipful posture, rising from the outer edges toward the center, where an island shaped like a bagua stood.

Everything appeared remarkably harmonious, and Wu Hao could even sense the overall fortune of the Upper Realm converging here, which made him decisively declare, “This is the place.”

Moreover, no forces occupied this location, making it a perfect landing spot for the Wu Family in the Upper Realm.

“However, Ancestor, you mentioned that there is an innate ban here. Can you break through it?”

Wu Yifan hesitated and spoke, recalling what he knew about innate bans. He understood that those referred to as innate bans were forces left over from the world’s initial formation, extremely powerful; even an Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to break through them in the Upper Realm.

But Wu Hao simply shook his head lightly.

“Isn’t there still this pearl?”

If he were to come here on his own, he would have to rely on sheer force to shatter the restrictions directly. However, doing so would likely cause damage to the Nine Dragons and Eight Trigrams Formation within. But with the help of the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl in hand, breaking the innate restrictions before him wouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

With that thought in mind, Wu Hao activated the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl, directing it toward the innate restrictions in the island. The moment it made contact, the power of the restrictions was shattered by the pearl. The true appearance of the island then revealed itself to Su Qiaoran and the others, leaving them speechless.

To describe it in one word: beautiful. In two words: magnificent. In three words: unparalleled in the world. In four words: absolutely one-of-a-kind.

“It’s just too beautiful!” Su Qiaoran exclaimed, her eyes shining as she prepared to rush toward the island. However, Wu Hao held her back.

Noticing the confusion in Su Qiaoran’s eyes, Wu Hao glanced at the island and softly said, “There’s still a troublesome creature inside; I’ll deal with it first.”

As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, a creature appeared before Wu Hao and the others—one with horns on its head and clad in a dragon robe. Its aura was extremely cold. Although it hadn’t made a move yet, merely standing there, its posture exuded an overwhelming strength.

Su Qiaoran and the others wisely positioned themselves behind Wu Hao.

At the same time, Li Zhengran had arrived. Upon seeing the figure standing in front of Wu Yifan, he inwardly exclaimed in alarm.

“Oh no, it’s actually a True Dragon at the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor!”

With just one glance, Li Zhengran realized that the being before Wu Hao and the others was a Late Stage Immortal Emperor True Dragon. For a moment, he contemplated whether to notify the Holy Lord for assistance. However, seeing the calm and collected expression on Wu Hao’s face and recalling Wu Hao’s earlier demeanor, Li Zhengran suddenly understood: the Holy Son’s Ancestor must be extraordinary; he likely had confidence in facing this Late Stage True Dragon.
