A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 229

Chapter 229 The Clan Puppet

“I wonder if you’re a hero or just an idiot, to actually refine your own body into a puppet, just so you’d have something to rely on after seizing my great grandson’s body?” Wu Hao murmured as he looked at Mo Juren, who was gradually turning into a puppet.

Although he felt some sympathy, Wu Hao didn’t do anything else. Instead, he slowly approached Mo Juren and then reached out to place his hand on Mo Juren’s head.

In the next moment, a terrifying wave of divine soul power surged into Mo Juren’s body, altering the settings Mo Juren had previously left behind and transforming him into a puppet loyal to Wu Hao.

Before long, Mo Juren had completely become a puppet. The moment he awoke and saw Wu Hao standing before him, he knelt down on one knee respectfully and said, “Your subordinate pays respects to the Master.”

“Hmm, starting today, you will be called Wu Xie. From now on, you’re a member of the Wu Family. Your mission is to protect the safety of the Wu Family. Understand?” Wu Hao said with a calm expression as he issued his orders. Although he could create many puppets comparable to Immortal Venerables at their peak with some effort, having Mo Juren’s existing body was naturally much faster than Wu Hao making one himself.

Upon hearing this, a gleam of brightness appeared in Wu Xie’s eyes, and with a loyal tone, he said, “Your subordinate Wu Xie is willing to go through fire and water for the Wu Family for generations to come!”

“Hmm, come with me.”

After speaking, Wu Hao turned and led Wu Xie away, while the so-called Ancient Secret Realm began to collapse at Wu Hao’s mere thought.

Elsewhere, Wu Li had already returned to the Seven Mysteries Sect, but upon seeing Zhang Tie, who had also been transformed into a puppet, he fell silent, overwhelmed by an indescribable sorrow.

“Sigh, you’ve had a hard life, but it’s a shame—your divine soul has been erased, and you’ve become a puppet without any self-awareness. Since that’s the case, then stay by my side.”

Wu Li sighed and accepted the puppet refined from Zhang Tie’s body, who now possessed combat power at the peak Immortal Sovereign level.

After taking Zhang Tie, Wu Li stood atop the Sect Master’s Peak overlooking the entire Seven Mysteries Sect. After a long moment, he sighed deeply and said to Zhang Tie, “Zhang Tie, let’s go. Without Mo Juren’s protection, the Seven Mysteries Sect will soon be swallowed up by other forces. Staying here will only drag us into pointless wars.”

Perhaps because Wu Li was naturally taciturn and preferred to train alone, he had no close acquaintances within the Seven Mysteries Sect, and his departure was notably unburdened.

After this betrayal from Mo Juren, Wu Li had learned many lessons. The foremost was that everything must revolve around oneself, and he must never casually trust others—not even his own master.

Meanwhile, Wu Hao had already returned to Penglai Immortal Island with Wu Xie.

“From today onward, you are a member of the Wu Family. You will live here. If anyone harms the Wu Family, don’t hesitate to take action. Also, change your appearance—this one isn’t very good-looking,” Wu Hao said.

He brought Wu Xie to a residence on Penglai Immortal Island, not far from the Wu Family’s main estate. As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, Wu Xie nodded, and his appearance shifted. Soon, he transformed into a look that pleased Wu Hao.

After completing all this, Wu Hao went to see his wife, Su Qiaoran.

By this time, Su Qiaoran had already broken through to the peak of True Immortal, which wasn’t difficult with Wu Hao’s help and nurturing.

“Husband? What did you call me for?” Su Qiaoran asked curiously. From her understanding of Wu Hao, if it wasn’t something important, he wouldn’t disturb her.

Hearing this, Wu Hao nodded and gently stroked Su Qiaoran’s head, smiling as he said, “As expected of my wife, you really are smart.”

“Oh gosh, we’re such an old married couple, why are you still being so cheesy?” Su Qiaoran blushed, a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Wu Hao suddenly remembered the serious matter. Wearing a serious expression, he said, “Alright, no more jokes. You must be close to breaking through to Golden Immortal by now. I plan to take you to a Secret Realm where you should have the opportunity to make that breakthrough.”

At Wu Hao’s words, Su Qiaoran’s interest was naturally piqued.

“A Secret Realm? What kind of Secret Realm?”

“The Daoran Secret Realm!” Wu Hao said solemnly. He had carefully chosen this Secret Realm. Though he couldn’t enter it himself, he had plenty of ways to ensure Su Qiaoran’s safety while inside.

Meanwhile, within the True Immortal Association and the Devouring Demon Sect, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu had naturally set their sights on the Daoran Secret Realm.

“From what I understand, the Daoran Secret Realm is about to open soon. It holds many opportunities and powerful legacies. If I enter, I should gain a lot of fortune—maybe even break through to the Golden Immortal realm right there inside,” Wu Xianni thought to himself. But his most important desire was to surpass his younger sister.

He had sensed that his sister’s cultivation was also at the Initial Stage of True Immortal. If he could enter the Daoran Secret Realm, he could use it as a springboard to finally surpass Wu Mowu.

“President, you want to enter the Daoran Secret Realm? What exactly is this Secret Realm all about?” Upon hearing Wu Xianni, the Elders of the True Immortal Association grew curious. After all, they had noticed their president’s extremely discerning nature—it was rare for anything ordinary to catch his eye.

On the other side, Wu Mowu faced the Elders of the Devouring Demon Sect and spoke seriously.

“The Daoran Secret Realm was formed after a great battle between two Immortal Emperor-level forces in ancient times. Inside, it contains the legacies of all the cultivators who fell in battle from those two powers. Over time, these have solidified into what is now known as the Daoran Secret Realm.”

“The major powers of the Upper Realm regard the Daoran Secret Realm as a training ground for their disciples. It opens once every thousand years, and by the timeline, it will open again in six months.”

Hearing Wu Mowu’s words, the Elders of the Devouring Demon Sect couldn’t help but breathe faster. These were legacies from Immortal Emperor-level forces; if they obtained these inheritances, wouldn’t it be a huge leap forward for them?

As if reading their thoughts, Wu Mowu replied calmly, “Don’t get your hopes up. You won’t get in. Only those at the True Immortal realm can enter. Furthermore, even fierce beasts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level exist inside. So don’t go looking for death.”

“And what about you, Sect Master?” The Elders from both the Devouring Demon Sect and True Immortal Association looked toward Wu Mowu and Wu Xianni with curiosity.

“Me? It’s simple. We just need to prepare everything over the next six months,” Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu said without hesitation. With their experience and foundation, given half a year and sufficient resources, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to create talismans powerful enough to slay even Great Luo Golden Immortals.
