A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Arrival in the Central Plains Region, the Child of Destiny not belonging to the Wu Family?

After a day and night of traveling, Wu Qilong and Jiang Ye successfully arrived in the Central Plains Region.

“Hey, I say, Old Man Jiang, we have six days left. Why don’t we take a look around the Central Plains Region?”

Upon reaching the Central Plains Region and checking the time, Wu Qilong turned to Jiang Ye. Although it sounded like a question, his tone was more like an announcement.

Jiang Ye didn’t say much in response but nodded in agreement. After coming to the Central Plains Region, they had kept an eye on Lu Ziqi; they would be able to sense any movements he made right away.

Meanwhile, not far from where Wu Qilong and Jiang Ye were, a young man dressed in black and white was wandering the streets, his eyes shrouded in Chaos, giving off an air of mystery.

“Finally arrived in the Central Plains Region,” Zhou Wudao murmured to himself. He then walked along the street and soon arrived in front of a blacksmith shop. Upon entering the shop, a waiter approached to greet him.

“Dear guest, how may I assist you?”

“I need to raise the grade of my weapon.”

With that, Zhou Wudao directly summoned his spear from his Storage Ring. The moment the spear appeared, the waiter’s expression shifted slightly, showing signs of shock as he said,

“Guest, this is a Grade One Immortal Artifact. What grade are you hoping to advance it to?”

“Refine it into a Grade Three Immortal Artifact for me. Here are the Immortal Crystals needed.”

After speaking, Zhou Wudao handed the spear and the Immortal Crystals to the waiter. Once the staff provided Zhou Wudao with the appropriate receipt, he turned to leave.

After all, this blacksmith shop was operated by the largest commerce association in the entire Central Plains Region, so Zhou Wudao didn’t worry about them defaulting on their payment.

However, just as Zhou Wudao was leaving the blacksmith shop, he suddenly sensed something, causing his expression to shift slightly as he looked toward the detected direction.

“That’s the True Dragon? And it has actually broken through to Immortal King Peak in such a short time? Looks like I’ll have to avoid the limelight for now.”

Thinking this, Zhou Wudao concealed his figure and gradually disappeared from sight.

On the other side, Wu Qilong also sensed something, his expression slightly changing.

“Strange, what’s going on? Did I misinterpret something?”

“Wu Senior, what’s wrong?”

Curious, Jiang Ye asked from the side. Hearing this, Wu Qilong shook his head slightly to indicate that it was nothing.

It seemed he was just overthinking; if that True Immortal-level punk was really here, he would have sensed it long ago.

As for Zhou Wudao, upon realizing that he was temporarily no match for Wu Qilong, he discreetly left. However, just after he left, he saw something that made his expression turn grave.

A figure appeared before him and looked at him with a hint of amusement, saying,

“Interesting? You are a reincarnated strongman, aren’t you?”

It was none other than Wu Hao.

At the revelation of Wu Hao’s identity, Zhou Wudao’s previously calm face finally showed shock.

“How is that possible? Who are you? How could you know my identity?”

After all, he had never told anyone that he was the reincarnation of a God King. How did Wu Hao know?

Moreover, he couldn’t sense any trace of aura from Wu Hao. He knew that even Wu Qilong at the Immortal King Peak level could be sensed by him, and Wu Qilong wouldn’t notice his presence.

Not being able to sense Wu Hao implied that Wu Hao’s strength was far beyond Wu Qilong’s, and the fact that he knew Zhou Wudao’s identity made Zhou feel a sense of crisis.

But Wu Hao just waved his hand, smiled, and said,

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you. I’m just curious about your downfall. What kind of terrifying strongman could cause such a powerful being to fall?”

At that moment, Wu Hao was also feeling unsettled. He had just happened to arrive in the Central Plains Region and coincidentally noticed Zhou Wudao’s extraordinary presence. After all, how could an ordinary person slip past Wu Qilong at the Immortal King Peak level without being noticed?

Wu Hao had not expected this to be true; however, he was uncertain about Zhou Wudao’s realm. Based on current circumstances, it seemed that Zhou Wudao was the Child of Destiny, the first one he discovered outside the Wu Family.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wudao hesitated for a moment but quickly looked up at Wu Hao. The fact that Wu Hao could recognize his background indicated that his strength was undoubtedly greater than his peak state. Clearly, it was not wise to conceal anything in front of such a powerful individual.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wudao finally sighed and said after a long pause,

“The Senior from the Blood Soul Sect should know?”

“The Blood Soul Sect? I’ve heard a bit about it,” Wu Hao replied, his brow furrowing slightly. Could it be that the Blood Soul Sect had destroyed them?

However, Zhou Wudao did not notice Wu Hao’s unease and continued to speak to himself,

“I am the Dao Ran God King. During a trial, I encountered an Elder from the Blood Soul Sect who was refining three Upper Realm realms. I was defeated in battle and subsequently killed by them.”

Wu Hao’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Zhou Wudao’s words. He clearly did not expect the Blood Soul Sect to be so powerful in the Divine Realm, possessing even God King-level experts. Furthermore, from Zhou Wudao’s words, it seemed the God King was merely an Elder, suggesting that the Blood Soul Sect might have even God Emperor or God Venerable-level strongholds.

Facing beings of that caliber, unless Wu Hao were to produce the God Emperor Artifact, the Chaos Bell, he would not stand a chance.

“Senior, I hold no hostility towards the Upper Realm, so I hope you won’t strike against me.”

As Zhou Wudao said this, he bowed respectfully to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao waved his hand dismissively in response.

“I hold no enmity towards you, provided you do not consider me an enemy. Additionally, that True Dragon is the Guardian Beast of my clan; I hope you will not entertain any further thoughts about it.”

After all, Zhou Wudao was the Child of Destiny, so unless necessary, Wu Hao would not choose to act against him. Yet even if a confrontation arose, he had six Children of Destiny in his clan; he did not believe he would struggle to defeat just one, even if it was Zhou Wudao.

Zhou Wudao felt a deep sense of fear upon hearing that the True Dragon was the Guardian Beast of this Senior’s clan, and hurriedly said,

“Rest assured, Senior; I will absolutely not harbor any thoughts regarding your Guardian Beast.”

“Um, you’d better do so. Alright, I have important matters to attend to. If you encounter any cultivators with the surname Wu along the way, please take care of them.”

After saying this, Wu Hao left directly. His reminder was merely to avoid a confrontation between Zhou Wudao and his clan. After all, forces that could challenge a Child of Destiny usually did not meet good ends. Although there were several Children of Destiny in his own clan, it was still better to avoid unnecessary harm if possible.

Once Wu Hao departed, Zhou Wudao finally sighed deeply, realizing he had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat.

“I wonder why a mere cultivator from the Upper Realm has such a powerful expert? Forget it; as long as he’s not an enemy, everything can be negotiated. Besides, I can sense that the Ascension laws in this realm have been sealed by the people of the Blood Soul Sect, so I’ll have to find another way to ascend.”

With that thought, Zhou Wudao sighed again, and his figure disappeared.
