A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: The Situation of Wu Li

“President, since the Blood Cloud Sect is targeting us, why don’t we seek help from the Holy Land?”

An Elder asked with some curiosity. After all, in his understanding, good and evil have always been irreconcilable. If the Holy Land knew about the existence of the Blood Cloud Sect, they should have intervened to wipe them out.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xianni simply shook his head, his expression somewhat complicated as he said,

“No, there’s a lot more going on here than you know.”

In his past life, Wu Xianni had also believed that good and evil were eternally opposed. But only after becoming a true powerhouse and stepping into that stage did he realize that the idea of eternal opposition between good and evil was a fallacy. What truly mattered was that strength ruled all.

As long as one’s power was sufficient, it was up to the cultivator to decide whether they were demon or immortal.

Some righteous cultivators had done far more brutal deeds than those on the demonic path, and the demonic path cultivators weren’t always destructive wherever they went.

“Enough. For now, the True Immortal Association will keep a low profile. Give me a thousand years. When I break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, it won’t be too late to make a move.”

Wu Xianni waved his hand. He knew that the Blood Cloud Sect wouldn’t be too high-profile in the Upper Realm. They basically wouldn’t send Immortal Kings. As long as he reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, he wouldn’t fear the Blood Cloud Sect even if they came seeking revenge.

Hearing this, the eyes of the Elders present lit up. Naturally, they had absolute faith in Wu Xianni’s words. After all, Wu Xianni was only a hundred years old at the early True Immortal stage—a prodigy. Breaking through to Great Luo Golden Immortal within a thousand years wasn’t out of the question for him.

“Yes, President!”

Because of the Blood Cloud Sect, the conflict that was about to erupt between the Devouring Demon Sect and the True Immortal Association instead turned into both forces retreating underground to cultivate in secrecy.

Meanwhile, inside the Seven Mysteries Sect, Wu Li fully immersed himself in cultivation.

Thanks to his Spacetime Divine Body and the help of the Saint Master Bottle, Wu Li’s progress was nothing short of astonishing. In less than ten years since joining the Seven Mysteries Sect, he advanced from the early True Immortal stage all the way to the peak of True Immortal.

Moreover, due to his Spacetime Divine Body, even though he was only at the True Immortal peak, he had already begun to barely influence the surrounding time and space, which greatly enhanced his combat ability.

“As expected, it’s better for me to lie low and cultivate. At this pace, within ten thousand years, I’ll be able to reach Immortal Emperor.”

Wu Li’s heart burned with excitement. Internally, he thought, as he grew more adept at developing the Saint Master Bottle, he also discovered it contained an internal space. The spiritual energy and immortal energy inside this space changed according to the surrounding environment.

Within this space, as the owner of the Saint Master Bottle, Wu Li could control the flow of time. Coupled with his Spacetime Divine Body, this gave him the terrifying effect of one day outside equaling one year spent cultivating inside.

And as his realm and power grew stronger, the development potential of both his Spacetime Divine Body and the Saint Master Bottle would advance even further.

The only flaw of the Saint Master Bottle’s space was that it could only accommodate the spirit; the physical body could not enter.

Just then, Zhang Tie knocked on the door outside and spoke.

“Boss, the Sect Master wants to see you.”

“The Master wants to see me?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Li furrowed his brows slightly. In fact, when he became an apprentice, he had already told Mo Juren that he preferred to focus on cultivation and that if there wasn’t anything urgent, he shouldn’t be disturbed.

Besides, given his status as the Holy Son, Mo Juren probably wouldn’t summon him without a good reason.

Thinking this through, Wu Li decided he should go check—maybe there really was something important.

When Wu Li opened the door, he saw Zhang Tie standing right in front of him.

“Boss, the Sect Master wants to see you.”

Zhang Tie said seriously. Wu Li nodded in response and immediately headed toward Mo Juren’s dojo.

Before long, Wu Li arrived at Mo Juren’s dojo, but he didn’t enter right away. Instead, he stood outside and cupped his fists in a respectful bow.

“Master, disciple Wu Li requests an audience.”

“Wu Li, just come in.”

As Mo Juren’s aged and commanding voice came from within the dojo, the next moment the protective barrier inside was lifted.

Wu Li didn’t hesitate upon seeing this and entered the dojo directly.

Once inside, Wu Li saw his Master sitting cross-legged before him—Mo Juren.

Mo Juren had long gray hair and a frail body, looking as if he didn’t have much time left to live.

Wu Li wasn’t puzzled by this; after all, when he became an apprentice, he had asked Mo Juren about it and learned that the old man had only reached Foundation Establishment when his lifespan was nearly over. After breaking through, he had simply grown too lazy to restore his youthful appearance, which was why he still looked so aged.

“Master, may I ask what you wanted to see me about?” Wu Li asked respectfully, cupping his fists.

Upon hearing this, Mo Juren slowly stood up, then looked at Wu Li and spoke slowly.

“Wu Li, you have been an apprentice in the Seven Mysteries Sect for quite a while now, haven’t you?”

“Yes, Master. I have been with the Seven Mysteries Sect for five years.”

Wu Li didn’t hesitate or overthink; he answered without hesitation.

Mo Juren then turned to Wu Li and said,

“I have a chance—a great opportunity—that I want to offer you. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?”

When Mo Juren mentioned this opportunity, his tone seemed almost hypnotic, sparking a trace of interest in Wu Li.

“An opportunity?”

“Yes, precisely. I have found an Ancient Secret Realm, but my cultivation level prevents me from entering it. So, I intend to have you enter instead.”

Mo Juren nodded lightly, his tone calm and steady.

“You can’t enter it yourself?”

Now it was Wu Li’s turn to be astonished. After all, Mo Juren was at the peak of Immortal Venerable—how could there be a Secret Realm he couldn’t enter?

But Mo Juren shook his head, smiled ruefully, and said,

“You find it surprising too, don’t you? But that’s the truth. Without reaching Immortal Emperor, one remains a mere ant. That Ancient Secret Realm is guarded by forces at the Immortal Emperor level, only allowing cultivators at the True Immortal level to enter. It’s obvious that you meet this requirement.”

Upon hearing that the Ancient Secret Realm was protected by Immortal Emperor-level forces, Wu Li’s expression showed some hesitation. After all, he couldn’t be sure if there weren’t dangers inside that he couldn’t handle.

He was naturally cautious. Unless he fully understood the situation in the Secret Realm, he wouldn’t dare enter recklessly.

“Master knows this places you in a difficult position, but there is no other choice now. There might be an opportunity inside for me to breakthrough to Immortal Emperor. Also, I’ve done some scans—the strongest beings inside reach only the Golden Immortal level. As long as you’re careful, they won’t be able to harm you.”

“Besides, once I breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, you will gain an even better environment for cultivation. Wu Li, you wouldn’t want me to be stuck without advancing to Immortal Emperor, would you?”
