A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: The Utterly Respectful Attitude of Qin Zijun

With the arrival of Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran, both Wu Zhen’e and Qin Zijun froze where they stood.

Wu Zhen’e was stunned because he didn’t understand why Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother would be here. His heart overflowed with curiosity, which quickly shifted to excitement.

As for Qin Zijun, the moment he saw Wu Hao, his expression immediately turned very serious and grave.

As a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, he could sense that Wu Hao before him was incredibly powerful and dangerous. If a fight broke out, there was no way he could win. What made it worse was that he hadn’t even detected Wu Hao’s presence earlier; if Wu Hao had wanted to kill him, Qin Zijun would likely have died before he even realized it.

Just then, Wu Zhen’e spoke, rushing forward to Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran. Standing before them, he looked both incredulous and excited as he said,

“Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, what are you doing here?”

“Just passing by. Besides, your Great Grandmother needs to enter a secret realm, but the timing isn’t right yet, so we came to see you,” Wu Hao replied with a smile, patting Wu Zhen’e’s head. In his eyes, Wu Zhen’e was still the same child he’d known.

At that moment, Qin Zijun, standing behind Wu Zhen’e, was stunned as well. Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother?

Were these two actually the Ancestors of his own Holy Son?

That thought instantly stirred excitement in Qin Zijun’s heart. If these people really were the Ancestors of their Holy Son, then their Five Elements Holy Land could take off.

Just imagine: their Five Elements Holy Land had an educational debt to Wu Zhen’e. If anything happened to the Five Elements Holy Land, would Wu Zhen’e stand by and watch? Clearly not. He would definitely take action.

And would the powerful figure before them watch Wu Zhen’e get into danger? Absolutely not. So, rounding it all together, if something were to happen to the Five Elements Holy Land, this powerful figure would undoubtedly intervene.

With that realization, Qin Zijun cleared his throat and put on a professional smile, saying,

“You two must be the Ancestors of the Holy Son. It’s an honor to meet you, esteemed seniors.”

Only then did Wu Zhen’e come to his senses and quickly looked toward Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran, introducing them,

“Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother, this is Qin Zijun, the Holy Lord of the Five Elements Holy Land. I am currently the Holy Son of the Five Elements Holy Land.”

“Holy Lord, this is my Great Grandfather Wu Hao and my Great Grandmother Su Qiaoran.”

“Greetings, Senior Wu and Senior Su. You can just call me Zijun,” Qin Zijun said with utmost respect. Naturally, he was fully aware of how powerful Wu Hao was. Without exaggeration, this man was likely on the same level as the Blood Emperor himself.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao waved his hand and replied,

“No need for such formality. In that case, I’ll call you Dao Companion Qin.”

Su Qiaoran didn’t say anything, simply going along with what Wu Hao said.

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Qin Zijun looked pleasantly surprised and quickly nodded in agreement.

“In that case, I will refer to both of you as Dao Companion Wu and Dao Companion Su. Since you have come to our Five Elements Holy Land, it is only natural that I fulfill the duties of a host.”

Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran had intended from the start to stay in the Five Elements Holy Land for a while, so they didn’t refuse.

Following Qin Zijun’s arrangements, Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran soon settled into one of the most luxurious residences in the bustling area of the Five Elements Holy Land.

At the same time, Wu Zhen’e and Qin Zijun approached Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran. Wu Zhen’e, curious, asked,

“Great Grandfather, the secret realm you mentioned—is it the Daoran Secret Realm?”

Only he knew that his Great Grandmother’s cultivation wasn’t as advanced as Great Grandfather’s; she was currently only at the peak of True Immortal. Besides the Daoran Secret Realm that the Holy Lord just mentioned, he couldn’t imagine which other secret realm Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother might be targeting.

After hearing Wu Zhen’e’s question, Qin Zijun finally realized that Su Qiaoran was only at the peak True Immortal level. However, this did not change his respectful attitude toward her—after all, she was the Dao Companion of that esteemed figure.

Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoran nodded.

“That’s right. I’m planning to enter the Daoran Secret Realm to seek an opportunity to breakthrough to Golden Immortal.”

Wu Zhen’e’s tone grew somewhat excited as he responded,

“Great Grandmother, if that’s the case, then let’s enter together. I also intend to enter the Daoran Secret Realm six months from now.”

Su Qiaoran had no objections. Instead, it was Wu Hao who spoke up from beside her.

“With your current cultivation level, if you want to enter the Daoran Secret Realm, you must not continue cultivating in the next six months. Otherwise, you won’t need six months—you’ll break through to the Golden Immortal stage in just one month,” Wu Zhen’e said confidently, patting his chest.

“Great Grandfather, don’t worry. I know my limits. Over the next six months, I plan to practice some body techniques and Immortal arts,” Su Qiaoran replied.

At this moment, Qin Zijun spoke up.

“Dao Companion Su, if you intend to enter the Daoran Secret Realm, would you like me to provide some intelligence?”

Neither Wu Hao nor Su Qiaoran deeply understood the origins of the Daoran Secret Realm. They had come simply because Wu Hao sensed its presence and deemed it suitable for Su Qiaoran. Still, learning more now wouldn’t hurt.

Seeing Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran nod, Qin Zijun then began to explain slowly.

“The Daoran Secret Realm was formed after a great war between two superpowers in Ancient Times: the Celestial Immortal Sect and Fallen Demon Valley. Countless lives were lost in that battle, but many legacies were left behind, all of which remain within the secret realm to this day.

“Of course, the legacies of the Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Venerables probably don’t mean much to Dao Companion Wu, but the Sect Master of the Celestial Immortal Sect and the Valley Master of Fallen Demon Valley were both great experts at the late Immortal Emperor stage. They fell in that war as well, leaving their legacies in the Daoran Secret Realm.

“Dao Companion Wu may not care much about these, but if Dao Companion Su could obtain them, they might prove immensely helpful.”

Hearing this, the expressions of Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran both grew serious. It was clear that legacies from late Immortal Emperor stage experts held great appeal for them.

Just then, Wu Hao sensed something and his expression shifted slightly.

“How interesting. It seems the legacies of these two late Immortal Emperors already have their targets selected ahead of time.”

Through his senses, Wu Hao noticed that Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu had already appeared near the entrance of the Daoran Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, in an inn not far from the Secret Realm to the east and west, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu each rented rooms with a view of the Daoran Secret Realm. Standing by the window, they murmured to themselves as they gazed toward it.

“In my past life, when I advanced to True Immortal, the Daoran Secret Realm hadn’t yet opened. By the time it did, I was no longer at the True Immortal stage. This time around, I won’t miss this opportunity. The legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor—I will claim them for sure!”
