A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Lin Zixin and Wu Dong Ascend, The Past of the Duan Family

Meanwhile, in the Xuantian Realm, after a period of training, Lin Zixin and Wu Dong had both reached the peak of the Great Emperor stage, just waiting for their Ascension. The other members of the Wu Family had already ascended to the Upper Realm, leaving only Lin Zixin and Wu Dong behind.

“Mother, let’s go. Father has been waiting for us for a long time,” Wu Dong said slowly as he approached Lin Zixin.

Lin Zixin glanced back at the Wu Family, the Roushui Holy Land, and the Xuantian Realm, realizing that this farewell might be the last. However, she quickly thought of something else and looked at Wu Dong.

“Let’s go visit your grandmother first. After we say our goodbyes to her, we can leave.”

After all, they had plenty of time to ascend, and who knew when they would meet next? Lin Shuirou was only in the Late Stage of the Great Emperor realm, so it would likely be a long time before she could ascend.

When Lin Shuirou saw Lin Zixin and Wu Dong arrive, her face lit up with excitement.

“Zixin, Dong’er, you’re here!”

“Mother/Grandmother.”

Lin Zixin and Wu Dong greeted Lin Shuirou in turn.

Noticing the serious expressions on Lin Zixin and Wu Dong’s faces, and taking into account their levels of cultivation, Lin Shuirou roughly understood why they had come.

“So, are you two going to ascend?”

“Yeah, our cultivation is becoming hard to control, and we should be ascending in the next few days.”

Lin Zixin nodded, her expression somewhat complicated.

Lin Shuirou waved her hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, “What’s the fuss? You make it sound like a life-and-death separation. I’m not going to be unable to ascend. And remember your dream? Make sure to spread the glory of our Roushui Holy Land once you get up there!”

“I will, Mother. You should also hurry up and cultivate; we’ll meet again in the Upper Realm when the time comes.” Lin Zixin said with a smile.

The family spent three more days together, and on the third day, Lin Zixin ascended to the Upper Realm alongside Wu Dong.

As she vanished into the radiant light of Ascension, Lin Shuirou felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy.

“It seems I have to work hard too; I can’t let my daughter lose face.”

With that, Lin Shuirou turned and returned to her cultivation. She was naturally talented, but the sealing of the Emperor’s Dao Law in the Xuantian Realm had delayed her progress for so long. Now that she still had enough lifespan and her talent remained, a breakthrough was merely a matter of time.

On the other side in the Upper Realm, Wu Yifan had already brought Duan De back to the Ancient Desolation Holy Land and his dojo.

Upon returning to the dojo, Wu Yifan finally set Duan De down, and Duan De slowly woke up, but his first reaction was one of utter vigilance.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, he finally sighed in relief.

“Awake?”

Wu Yifan, who was refining the celestial objects within him to advance further toward the Ancient Dao Body, turned to Duan De upon noticing he had woken up.

Duan De paused for a moment when he saw Wu Yifan, but quickly rushed toward him with a face full of gratitude.

“Wuwuwu, I knew you would definitely come to save me, Holy Son! I’m so touched.”

Seeing Duan De rushing toward him with tears in his eyes, Wu Yifan helplessly shook his head and promptly swatted Duan De away.

“Get lost; I’m straight.”

“Hehe, Boss, it’s so good to be alive and see you.”

Duan De said with an embarrassed smile, rubbing his somewhat swollen face.

Wu Yifan, however, spoke curtly.

“Alright, the matters with the Lin Family have been resolved. They were destroyed by the Holy Lord’s order for colluding with the Blood Soul Sect.”

Upon hearing that the Lin Family had been annihilated, the smile on Duan De’s face suddenly froze in place. After a long while, two lines of tears streamed down his cheeks as he muttered to himself.

“Good, good destruction.”

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, and after some time, Duan De finally looked up at Wu Yifan and earnestly asked,

“Holy Son, would you like to hear my story?”

Without waiting for Wu Yifan to respond, Duan De began to recount his tale.

Once upon a time, there was a family called the Duan Family, not very strong, but they had a peak Immortal Sovereign guarding them.

Within the Duan Family, there existed a treasure passed down from ancient times, a dark pearl said to possess miraculous effects, capable of piercing through everything and changing the heavens and the earth.

Because of that treasure, the Duan Family fell into great peril, targeted by the Lin Family.

Under the cover of night, the Lin Family launched a surprise attack on the Duan Family. The Lin Family was unstoppable, facing only annihilation. However, even then, the Lin Family did not obtain the Duan Family’s treasure.

It was because the Family Head of the Duan Family, at the moment the Lin Family attacked, used their own treasure to send the nearly adult Young Patriarch of the Duan Family away.

“I still remember the last words that old man said to me: ‘Take the pearl and leave the Boundless Domain. Unless you break through to Immortal Emperor, do not come back.’

“But, I hate it! I know that given my talent, I will probably never be able to cultivate to Immortal Emperor in this life. So I can only seek a powerful backer, a strong backer, hoping that one day I can destroy the Lin Family and avenge my Duan Family.”

“And before that, the only way to take revenge on the Lin Family was to use the help of the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl to rob their ancestor’s tomb, just to disgust the Lin Family members.”

“Until I met you, Holy Son, and finally got my revenge. Thank you, Holy Son. From today onwards, I, Duan De, will be yours. You send me to climb mountains of daggers or tread through seas of fire, I will not hesitate, even if you want my behind, I’ll willingly drop my pants to comply!”

Wu Yifan admitted that he felt sad for Duan De after hearing the earlier words, but now he just wanted to give Duan De a couple of slaps.

With an angry expression on his face, he said,

“Get away! This Holy Son doesn’t like men, I like women! I have no interest in your behind.”

“Hehe, I only know that Holy Son has no interest, which is why I said it.”

Duan De said somewhat embarrassedly.

The next second, seeing something flying towards him, he instinctively reached out to catch it and saw that it was a dark pearl. Duan De stood there stunned—it was indeed the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl.

Thinking of this, Duan De looked up at Wu Yifan, his eyes filled with confusion.

Wu Yifan coughed before seriously saying,

“This is the Duan Family’s treasure. If you wish to revive the Duan Family, then this item is naturally the best proof. The Duan Family perished because of the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl, and it can also bring about its rebirth.”

“This Holy Son has no intention of taking my subordinate’s belongings, so please take it back.”

However, what Wu Yifan didn’t say was that this item no longer held much use for him. Once the Ancient Sacred Body advanced to become the Ancient Dao Body, he would have few rivals in the Upper Realm.

Moreover, Wu Yifan sensed that the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl seemed to be of less significance to those powerful beings above the Immortal Emperor, which is why he chose to return it to Duan De.

But Duan De was unaware of this and, extremely moved, stored the Fate Concealing Mystic Pearl back into his Storage Ring before looking at Wu Yifan with utmost seriousness, saying,

“Holy Son, from this day forth, you are my big brother!”

Wu Yifan smiled and was about to say something when suddenly he sensed something, his expression slightly changing as he hurriedly rushed toward the outside of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land.

Duan De, confused, could only quickly follow behind.
