A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Parting Is the Norm

Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of Wu Yidao and under the command of Lin Yahuan, the Sky Martial Sect had gradually stabilized into a steady state.

Lin Yahuan, now the Sect Master, had advanced to the Peak True Immortal stage. As for Tang Yan, he had awakened nine years ago and, due to the reforging of his physical body, his talent was extraordinarily formidable.

In just nine short years since his awakening, Tang Yan had soared from mortal directly to the Peak True Immortal stage. Coupled with his profound foundation and insight, even those at the Intermediate or Late Golden Immortal stages were no match for him.

Standing atop the highest point of the Sky Martial Sect, overlooking everything neatly arranged and orderly, Wu Yidao’s eyes were full of satisfaction. With things settled like this, he felt at ease to leave.

At that moment, a figure appeared silently behind him, watching Wu Yidao intently without saying a word, her gaze brimming with feelings she couldn’t hide.

“I’m leaving. From now on, the Sky Martial Sect is in your hands. If Wu Shengna ascends, then hand the sect over to him and go on with your own matters.”

Wu Yidao didn’t turn around; he faced away from Lin Yahuan.

After hearing this, Lin Yahuan was silent for a long moment before finally speaking up:

“Wu Yidao, I… like you!”

Lin Yahuan knew that if she didn’t confess her feelings to Wu Yidao now, she might never get another chance. After all, given her understanding of him, opportunities to be close to him like this would be rare henceforth.

But what Lin Yahuan didn’t realize was a simple truth: confessing your feelings when the other party doesn’t feel the same carries a 99% chance of failure.

Sure enough, upon hearing her confession, Wu Yidao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He never expected his charm to be so strong, that wherever he went, women would fall for him.

However, Wu Yidao didn’t share Lin Yahuan’s feelings, and agreeing just to appease her would be unfair. Without hesitation, as he turned to refuse her, Lin Yahuan quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, saying,

“Don’t speak. Just give me a hope, even if you intend to reject me.”

With that, she ignored Wu Yidao and turned to run away.

Seeing this, Wu Yidao stopped his steps, ready to chase after her, but sighed quietly and refrained from saying anything further. If Lin Yahuan was willing to wait, then he would let her wait.

He hadn’t promised anything. If everyone liked him, would he have to agree to all of them? Wu Yidao was not that indecent. When a decision must be made, it must be made; delay only creates confusion.

Casting one last look at the Sky Martial Sect, Wu Yidao resolutely left, heading toward Buzhou Mountain.

At the same time, not far away, Lin Yahuan watched Wu Yidao’s departure. Quiet tears silently slid down her cheeks, giving her a pitiful and heart-wrenching appearance.

Standing beside her, Tang Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself? He’s clearly a man you can never catch,” he said.

“Master, there aren’t that many ‘whys’ in this world. Sometimes, it’s just fate,” Lin Yahuan replied, her tone heavy with sorrow. She did not regret falling in love with Wu Yidao; she only regretted having met him in the first place. If she had never encountered Wu Yidao, would she have ever come to like him?

But fate was like that—when one wasn’t strong enough, there was no power to resist it. And her falling in love with Wu Yidao was simply the work of fate. From the moment he saved her, she was hopelessly in love.

Seeing his disciple like this, Tang Yan sighed quietly. After all, even he had his own unattainable White Moonlight in his heart. He just didn’t know how she was doing now.

As for Wu Yidao, his heart had stirred briefly when Lin Yahuan confessed, but it had quickly settled back into calm. He knew his mission clearly—this was definitely not the time for romance. Moreover, he had little interest in Lin Yahuan; after all, he wasn’t a stud who chased every woman he met.

Soon enough, Wu Yidao buried thoughts of Lin Yahuan deep in his heart.

“Next, we head to Buzhou Mountain. Buzhou Mountain is the tallest peak in the entire Upper Realm. Even if the Holy Lord and others were to strike, they wouldn’t be able to destroy it. It is said that Buzhou Mountain is protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao,” Wu Yidao said.

Upon arriving at Buzhou Mountain, Wu Yidao gazed gravely at the peak in the distance. As he sensed the grand aura emanating from within the mountain, he couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of his own insignificance, whether mortal or Immortal Emperor.

Within Buzhou Mountain lay many powerful legacies and secret realms. Numerous strong demon beasts had set up factions and territories there. From those at the Great Emperor level to those at the Immortal Emperor level, demon beasts of all ranks occupied Buzhou Mountain.

Although Wu Yidao’s cultivation hadn’t dramatically improved during the past ten years, he was mere steps away from breaking through to Immortal King. Especially now, with the help of the Chaos Bell, traversing Buzhou Mountain was not a daunting matter.

“However, according to the Holy Lord, the Founding Patriarch also once revealed plans to go to Buzhou Mountain upon leaving the Holy Land. But no one knows what exactly happened there,” Wu Yidao said, his expression turning more serious.

Despite this, he did not hesitate. A premonition told him that he might gain significant rewards from Buzhou Mountain.

Meanwhile, within the Five Elements Holy Land, Qin Zijun had already arrived before Wu Zhen’e.

Upon seeing Qin Zijun, Wu Zhen’e immediately understood and nodded in acknowledgement.

“Master, shall we go?”

“Mm.”

Qin Zijun nodded and, in the next moment, led Wu Zhen’e into the Forbidden Land of the Five Elements Holy Land, explaining as they walked.

“The secret realm of the Five Elements Trial lies within the Forbidden Land of our Five Elements Holy Land. It is a hidden realm, and according to the Founding Patriarch’s instructions, only those who can ring the Five Elements Bell nine times can bypass the restrictions of the Five Elements Secret Realm and enter it.”

As Qin Zijun finished speaking, a massive spatial gate suddenly appeared before Wu Zhen’e. Chains that looked ethereal and unreal draped over it, radiating a cold chill, as if reaching out a hand would cause it to freeze instantly.

This was precisely the spatial entrance to the Five Elements Trial.
