A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Cai Zhengkun’s Strategies

Just as they were about to leave, Cai Zhengkun showed a moment of hesitation, but it quickly turned into determination as he looked at Wu Rulong and asked seriously, “President, I’d like to ask what scale you want the Wu Commerce Association to achieve?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Rulong was initially taken aback but soon answered without hesitation, “To become the largest commerce association in the entire Upper Realm!”

Cai Zhengkun’s expression shifted in surprise, clearly not expecting Wu Rulong to have such grand ambitions. However, he quickly followed up with another question, “If we want to become the largest commerce association in the entire Upper Realm, we’ll need the strength to oppose the entire Upper Realm. Does our Wu Commerce Association truly possess that strength?”

Cai Zhengkun was well aware of the vastness of the Upper Realm. Their Southern Region was relatively barren, yet even so, there were still numerous places inhabited by Immortal Venerables and even Immortal Emperors, not to mention the other Four Regions.

In response, Wu Rulong waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to worry about strength; I will deal with that. Instead, is there something you wish to say?”

Since Wu Rulong had said this, Cai Zhengkun no longer hesitated. He nodded and continued, “Of course. If we want the Wu Commerce Association to become the largest in the Upper Realm, then we must cover every domain in the Upper Realm.”

“From my understanding, there are a total of four hundred and fifty thousand domains in the Upper Realm, among which there are a terrifying over two hundred Immortal Emperors, thousands of Immortal Venerables, and countless Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Kings.”

“Given this, if the Wu Commerce Association wishes to become the greatest power in the Upper Realm, there are only two ways to achieve that.”

Upon hearing Cai Zhengkun, Wu Rulong nodded, feeling that there was some truth to it. “You mentioned there are two ways; why not share them with me?”

Cai Zhengkun slightly nodded. “The first way is for our Wu Commerce Association to demonstrate absolute strength, compelling all commerce associations in the Upper Realm to submit to us, thereby achieving dominance over the Upper Realm.”

Hearing this first suggestion, Wu Rulong fell into deep thought. He knew his father likely possessed the strength to suppress the entire Upper Realm, but the issue was that his father was the type to be lazy and avoid taking action. As his father would say, everything he did was to avoid becoming entangled in too much karma.

Aside from his father, only the Guardian Beast of the Clan, Wu Qilong, possesses the strength to shock the entire Upper Realm. However, the issue is that Wu Qilong is currently sealed by his father, and it’s uncertain when he will recover to the Late Stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. So, this plan is simply not feasible in the short term.

“You mentioned there are two methods; what’s the second one?”

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhengkun nodded slightly. “During this time, I’ve also observed the operational model of our Wu Commerce Association and found that its approach is more innovative than that of most commerce associations in the Upper Realm. Moreover, our Wu Commerce Association has something unique that isn’t available in the Upper Realm: mobile phones.”

“I also discovered that the signals from mobile phones can be transmitted through Spatial Arrays combined with Base Stations, allowing them to receive messages even across different domains within seconds.”

“So, if we improve the mobile phones and implement wide-ranging Spatial Arrays along with Base Stations, their signals could cover the entire Upper Realm. While half of the beings in the Upper Realm are cultivators, the other half are ordinary people.”

“For ordinary people, mobile phones are like Immortal Artifacts, something they cannot touch.”

“We just need to promote the mobile phones and collaborate with the largest newspaper company in the Upper Realm to inform the commerce associations that they should cooperate with our Wu Commerce Association. We can hand over the operating rights of the mobile phones to them while extracting a commission.”

“This way, our Wu Commerce Association could become the largest commerce association in the Upper Realm without direct confrontation. However, the downside is that our Wu Commerce Association needs to have at least Late Stage Immortal Emperor-level combat power to defend against those who covet what we have.”

“After all, as I understand it, many commerce associations in the Upper Realm are backed by Late Stage Immortal Emperors, and even the Five Great Holy Lands support their own commerce associations.”

“So, I wouldn’t recommend this approach unless we have sufficient strength.”

After hearing Cai Zhengkun’s two proposals, Wu Rulong fell into deep thought and then replied slowly, “In that case, let’s go with the second method. The Upper Realm is vast, and there’s plenty of cake that our Wu Commerce Association can’t consume alone, so let’s share a bit.”

“If they dare to come, I don’t mind teaching them what true pain feels like!”

Wu Rulong hadn’t forgotten about the divine artifact bestowed upon him by his father; even its spirit could cut through the entire Upper Realm. Although he had never tested it, since his father had said so, as his son, he would not doubt it.

After all, Wu Hao never tells lies.

Upon hearing Wu Rulong’s words, Cai Zhengkun couldn’t help but feel shocked. After the initial shock, a wave of strong emotions surged within him. He hadn’t expected Wu Rulong to have such boldness; it takes courage to stand against the Upper Realm.

But soon, he became excited, as he vaguely saw a glorious future beckoning him. If the Wu Commerce Association became the largest in the Upper Realm, wouldn’t he, as one of the original members, be the biggest beneficiary?

Thinking of this, Cai Zhengkun felt a surge of urgency in his breath, and just at that moment, Wu Rulong spoke up.

“Cai Zhengkun, I’ll leave this matter entirely in your hands. How does that sound?”

“Understood, President!”

Cai Zhengkun nodded, taking on this heavy responsibility with a deep sense of seriousness.

Earlier, when the Wu Commerce Association entered the Huang Yuan Region, he had already sensed its extraordinary nature and planned to investigate their mobile phones by dismantling one. However, within the phone, there existed a protective Array, making it impossible for him to uncover the mysteries contained within.

After all, this was designed by Wu Hao himself; not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone an Immortal King or an Immortal Emperor, could possibly replicate it—this was Wu Hao’s greatness.

After bidding farewell to Wu Rulong, Cai Zhengkun carried the unconscious Nie Long away.

Once Cai Zhengkun left, Wu Rulong turned to Jiang Ye and slowly said,

“Senior Jiang, let’s head back. Now that the issues in the Huang Yuan Region are resolved, what awaits our Wu Commerce Association is a bright future.”

However, at that moment, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit skeptical.

“President, does Senior Wu really possess such incredible power?”
