A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: The Greed of Blood Cloud Sect

“Sister, well done!”

Wu Xianni turned to look up at Wu Mowu in the sky, but the next moment, he saw Wu Mowu suddenly drop straight down from above.

Seeing this, Wu Xianni’s expression turned extremely panicked. He quickly rushed forward and caught Wu Mowu. Only after sensing that she had simply fainted from overexertion did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She would just need some time to recover.

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Cloud Sect, an elder in the Soul Lamp Hall was cultivating when he suddenly sensed something and looked shocked. His gaze turned towards the Soul Lamp of a direct disciple’s rank above him. The next second, the Soul Lamp bearing Chen Hansheng’s name extinguished completely.

“What! Even Chen Hansheng, a Great Luo Golden Immortal at his peak, wasn’t a match?”

The elder’s tone was full of disbelief. Just some time ago, Chen Hansheng had contacted him, saying he had located the whereabouts of Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu and was only waiting for them to exit the Daoran Secret Realm so he could kill them and report back.

But unexpectedly, after Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu emerged from the Daoran Secret Realm, it was Chen Hansheng who ended up dead.

“This can’t just end like this. Judging by the current situation, those two either have a powerful force behind them or they gained a strong inheritance from the Daoran Secret Realm—maybe even the inheritance of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor!”

As the elder spoke these words, his breathing grew increasingly hurried.

Compared to the idea of a powerful backing, he thought the latter possibility was more likely. After all, based on what he knew about Chen Hansheng, if there had been a strong force supporting those two, Chen Hansheng would have revealed the name of the Blood Cloud Sect by now.

Moreover, in the Upper Realm, Blood Cloud Sect was considered part of the top-tier forces. Unless there was an unrelenting grudge involved, no one would dare to kill without hesitation if Chen Hansheng had exposed the sect’s name.

Soon after this elder stepped outside, all the powerful figures of Blood Cloud Sect gathered together. The Sect Master, the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor, sat on the Sect Master’s Seat. His blood-red eyes watched the assembled elders, and after a long silence, he turned to the Soul Lamp elder and asked,

“Elder Li, why have you summoned us?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Li stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully, and said,

“Sect Master, some time ago, a Blood Cloud Sect disciple was killed while carrying out a mission outside. We issued a bounty, and the direct disciple Chen Hansheng took it on.”

“After all, the opponents were just two young True Immortals at their initial stage. But I didn’t expect that after those two came out from the Daoran Secret Realm, they had reached a level capable of killing Chen Hansheng. Therefore, I suspect these two must have inherited power from the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor.”

As Elder Li finished speaking, all the elders of the Blood Cloud Sect present were shocked. Numerous voices arose, mostly expressing disbelief and doubt.

“How is that possible? The Daoran Secret Realm? The legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor have existed for hundreds of trillions of years. During all that time, no one has ever obtained them—how could two mere True Immortals at the initial stage possibly have gained them?”

“Hiss, that’s right. Elder Li, why are you so certain those two have inherited the power of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor?”

“There’s another possibility—if those two have a powerful backing, it wouldn’t be so surprising that Chen Hansheng fell.”

Regarding Chen Hansheng, most of the elders present had at least heard of him, given his extraordinary talent. After just 108,000 years of cultivation, he had reached the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal and was a strong candidate for the next Holy Son. It was difficult not to know about him.

Even the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but glance at Elder Li, eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Elder Li calmly waved his hand but then spoke with utmost seriousness.

“What all of you are thinking, I have considered as well. There are essentially only two possibilities. After all, those two juniors are only at the initial stage of True Immortal cultivation. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn’t have been able to kill Chen Hansheng.

First, perhaps they have a powerful force behind them. If the Guardians sensed something was wrong, they might have intervened. But I am ruling out this possibility because Chen Hansheng is no fool. If there really were Guardians involved, Chen Hansheng would have definitely revealed the existence of the Blood Cloud Sect.

In the Upper Realm, the Blood Cloud Sect is one of the few powers—aside from the Five Great Holy Lands—that are incredibly difficult to destroy. So if anyone learned that Chen Hansheng was our disciple, they would likely tread carefully, giving some respect to the Blood Cloud Sect and allowing Chen Hansheng to escape.

Therefore, only the second possibility remains: the two received the legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor inside the Secret Realm. After all, Hansheng himself said both of them were still at the initial True Immortal stage before entering. That means if they were capable of killing Hansheng, their cultivation must have undergone a substantial leap upon exiting. So the most probable scenario is that they inherited the power of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor!”

After Elder Li’s statement, the gathered elders and even the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor fell silent.

After a long moment, the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor finally spoke, looking seriously at Elder Li.

“If that’s the case, Elder Li, what do you think should be done about this matter?”

“Sect Master, I believe the legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor must be secured by our Blood Cloud Sect. If we obtain them, we might be able to forge two more Late Stage Immortal Emperors for our sect.”

“A sect with three Late Stage Immortal Emperors is unheard of even among the Five Great Holy Lands. If we could raise three such powerhouses, then outside of the Five Great Holy Lands, there would be no force in the Upper Realm able to rival our Blood Cloud Sect.”

As he spoke, Elder Li’s tone grew more urgent.

Hearing this, the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor responded without hesitation,

“If that’s the case, then Elder Li, this matter will be entrusted to you. If you cannot bring back the legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor, then there will be no need for you to return.”

Hearing the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor’s words, Elder Li fell into silence. Yet the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor continued speaking to himself,

“But if you can bring back the legacies of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor, then I, as Sect Master, can promise you the inheritance of one of these Immortal Emperors!”

“Yes, Sect Master, I accept!”

Without hesitation, Elder Li agreed. His current cultivation was at the Initial Stage Immortal Emperor level, and if he could obtain the legacy of either the Celestial Immortal Emperor or the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor, breaking through to the Late Stage Immortal Emperor would not be difficult.

Besides, he firmly believed that once Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu had inherited the power of the Celestial Immortal Emperor and the Fallen Demon Immortal Emperor, there was no way they could have advanced to a level that posed a real threat to him in such a short time!
