A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Ancient Secrets Unveiled

“Array activated!”

While frantically dodging the attacks of the Dark Nether Spirit, Wu Mowu also arranged a powerful array around her. As the formation completed, her footsteps came to a sudden halt.

With a fierce shout from her, countless dim gray pillars of light shot up from the surrounding ground, instantly forming a cage that trapped the Dark Nether Spirit inside.

“Roar! Human, you’ll die!”

The Dark Nether Spirit sensed something was wrong. It tried to control the dark marks within its body to blast the array, but before the marks even reached the formation’s base, they all seemed to malfunction and simply fell to the ground uselessly.

“The most terrifying thing about the Dark Nether Spirit is its own spiritual power and the dark marks within it. A Great Luo Golden Immortal-level Dark Nether Spirit carries tens of thousands of these marks, each capable of killing even peak Golden Immortals.”

“But the Thousandfold Soul Suppression Array I set up suppresses spiritual power, reducing Great Luo Golden Immortal-level spiritual strength down to the Golden Immortal level at most. If that’s the case, the Dark Nether Spirit’s spiritual power won’t be what it used to be. Now it’s time for me to make my move.”

“God and Demon Fall!”

Wu Mowu concentrated all her energy into the spear in her hand. In the next instant, she hurled the spear forward, and it seemed shrouded in layers of ghostly images of gods and demons as it struck the Dark Nether Spirit.

The Dark Nether Spirit clearly felt the power of this spear strike. It howled, revealing its unease, then mobilized all its dark marks to shield itself.

Under ordinary circumstances, Wu Mowu’s spear wouldn’t have been able to break through the Dark Nether Spirit’s defenses. But this time was different.

The God and Demon Fall struck the Dark Mark Aegis of the Dark Nether Spirit, and after a tense standoff of about five minutes, the spear shattered the dark mark shield and pierced through the Dark Nether Spirit’s body.

As the Dark Nether Spirit’s body was pierced, it turned into a swirling cloud of ash and dissipated. Only then did Wu Mowu finally exhale in relief.

“Phew… now let me see, what exactly is being guarded by the Golden-haired Bloodthirsty Ape?”

After adjusting her state, Wu Xianni stood up and headed deeper into the Great Mountain. Soon, he found a cave, and as if guided by some mysterious voice within him, he felt compelled to enter, sensing that what he sought lay inside.

Despite this, Wu Xianni remained cautious. Once he was fully prepared, he stepped into the cave. The moment he did, the entrance behind him vanished without a trace.

Wu Xianni didn’t notice this disappearance, so engrossed was he by the cave ahead. His expression grew filled with anticipation.

“This must be the Inheritance Land of either the Celestial Immortal Emperor or the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor, right?”

Soon, as the magnificent palace appeared before him, Wu Xianni felt an overwhelming surge of excitement deep in his heart.

As if confirming Wu Xianni’s thoughts, in the next moment a pure white, radiant phantom appeared before him. It looked absolutely pristine and, after gazing at Wu Xianni, it smiled warmly and said, “Young friend, I see that you have extraordinary talent and great strength. You must have passed my test. I am the Celestial Immortal Emperor. Are you willing to receive my inheritance?”

“Senior, are you the Celestial Immortal Emperor?” Wu Xianni was surprised by the figure before him. After all, the Celestial Immortal Emperor was an Immortal Emperor from Ancient Times—far more powerful than Wu Xianni in his current Initial Stage Immortal Emperor form.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Immortal Emperor sighed deeply and said, “That’s right, I am indeed the Celestial Immortal Emperor. Since you have entered the Daoran Secret Realm, I suppose you already know about the grudge between me and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor?”

“I know a little. I’ve heard that in Ancient Times you led the entire Celestial Immortal Sect to war against the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor’s Fallen Demon Valley. The battle ended in a stalemate, and both of you left your legacies within the Daoran Secret Realm,” Wu Xianni responded without hesitation.

He believed his version of events was close to the true history, but unexpectedly, the Celestial Immortal Emperor’s expression grew serious and he shook his head.

“No, that is not the case. In fact, it was not our two great factions that initiated the war—it was forced upon us.”

“Forced upon you?”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Mowu had also arrived before the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor and heard a similar explanation from him.

Hearing this, the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor nodded gravely and said, “That’s right, it was forced. You must know about the existence of the Blood Soul Sect.”

“I know a little. In Ancient Times, the Five Great Holy Lands led the strongest warriors of the Upper Realm to wage war against the Blood Soul Sect. Ultimately, at a heavy cost, they managed to drive the Blood Soul Sect out of the Upper Realm,” Wu Mowu nodded, her expression grave.

This caused the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor to freeze in place for a moment. After a long pause, he sighed and said, “The Blood Soul Sect has grown this powerful? It seems that, back then, we two old-timers were right after all.”

“Senior, what exactly happened between Fallen Demon Valley and the Celestial Immortal Sect in Ancient Times?”

Wu Mowu asked with some confusion.

Hearing her question, the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor first sighed deeply and remained silent for a long while before speaking.

“In truth, the Celestial Immortal Emperor and I were once close friends. Although one of us was a cultivator of the righteous path and the other a follower of the demonic path, that did not prevent our friendship. However, ever since the Blood Soul Sect appeared, the entire demonic faction in the Upper Realm was forcibly absorbed under the Blood Soul Sect by its Sect Master, the Blood Emperor.”

“I was unwilling to submit and intended to fight the Blood Emperor, but I was no match for him. Just a single encounter was enough for him to plant the Blood Demon Seed inside me. After the Blood Demon Seed was embedded in my body, I became subject to his will.”

“With the Blood Demon Seed growing within me, my self-awareness was increasingly compromised, preventing me from staying fully lucid most of the time.”

“In this state, I could only ask the Celestial Immortal Emperor to end me. But when he moved to do so, the power of the Blood Demon Seed suddenly erupted, and I completely lost control, clashing fiercely with the Celestial Immortal Emperor.”

“That battle ignited a full-scale war between the Celestial Immortal Sect and Fallen Demon Valley. By the time I regained clarity, the war had already ended. Both the Celestial Immortal Emperor and I were near death.”

“Out of desperation, we joined forces to create the Daoran Secret Realm to preserve the legacies of the Celestial Immortal Sect and Fallen Demon Valley.”

“What you see before you now is merely a fragment of my remnant soul.”

Both the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor looked solemnly at Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu in front of them as they spoke.

Hearing this, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu fell into silence. No matter how they thought about it, they could never have imagined that this was the true cause of the downfall of both the Celestial Immortal Sect and Fallen Demon Valley.
