A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Zhang Jie’s Shock, The World Stunned

Staring at Zhang Jie, Wu Dong hesitated for a long moment before slowly saying,

“That’s because it’s a marriage alliance between my family and the Time and Space Holy Land.”

“What! It’s your family?”

Hearing Wu Dong’s words, Zhang Jie couldn’t help but be shocked. He stood up, hardly able to believe it.

But after some thought, it didn’t seem all that strange. After all, Wu Dong shared the Wu surname, so it made sense that he came from the Wu Family.

Moreover, Wu Dong’s request to bring him along wasn’t a whim—he had clearly seen that the Ancestors were making such a big commotion at this moment because they wanted to reveal the Wu Family to the Upper Realm.

As a member of the Wu Family, it was naturally his duty to involve the Holy Lord and the others in attending.

After a long pause, Zhang Jie finally agreed. After all, Wu Dong’s talent was evident, and he usually showed more tolerance for exceptionally gifted disciples.

But then Zhang Jie’s expression grew serious as he looked at Wu Dong and asked with a hint of inquiry,

“Wu Dong, can you tell me, how strong is the Wu Family?”

At those words, Wu Dong’s expression became complicated. It was clear it wasn’t convenient for him to say, but after a moment’s thought, he shook his head slightly and replied,

“I don’t know how strong the Ancestor is, but I do know that in the family there is a True Dragon at the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level.”

“What!”

Upon hearing this, the shock on Zhang Jie’s face was beyond words. A True Dragon at the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level?

There likely wasn’t even one such True Dragon in the entire Upper Realm. Even True Dragons at the Initial Stage Immortal Emperor level were exceedingly rare. If what Wu Dong said was true, then the Wu Family was at least on the level of a Five Great Holy Lands faction.

It might even be stronger than the Five Great Holy Lands, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to tame a True Dragon at the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level.

With this realization, Zhang Jie immediately regarded the Wu Family as a force not to be offended, and his attitude toward Wu Dong grew even more respectful.

“Alright, I already know about this matter. Half a month from now, I will naturally take you to Penglai Immortal Island.”

“Thank you, Holy Lord.”

After saying this, Wu Dong turned and left. In truth, his purpose was not only to help the Wu Family make their entrance; more importantly, with his current cultivation level, if he rushed back to the Wu Family now, the banquet would already be over. So his most important goal was to attend the feast.

After Wu Dong left, Zhang Jie wrestled with his thoughts for a while but eventually went to a dojo within the Anti-God Holy Land. The dojo’s restrictions were no obstacle for him at all. Soon, Zhang Jie found himself in front of a refined and elegant young man who, upon seeing him, couldn’t help but step forward with a tone of disbelief.

“Father, tell me the news from outside isn’t true. How could Sister Mengyuan be getting married?”

This young man was Zhang Jie’s son, Zhang Shaochu. Seeing his son’s reaction, Zhang Jie sighed deeply before slowly speaking.

“Shaochu, stop clinging to illusions about Mengyuan. The Wu Family is a power we cannot provoke. Besides, Mengyuan herself doesn’t like you. She already has someone she cares about. You should just wish her happiness.”

“No! It’s impossible. Mengyuan must have been forced into this!”

Heartbreak was visible all over Zhang Shaochu’s face, but Zhang Jie just shook his head. From what he knew about Lu Ren, if his daughter didn’t like someone, he wouldn’t force her. So, most likely, Lu Mengyuan hadn’t opposed this union. Under these circumstances, if Zhang Shaochu kept interfering, he’d only make himself look like a fool.

“Alright, calm down first. Wait for some time before coming out again.”

Zhang Jie was worried that his son might try to intervene and disrupt the marriage, which could endanger even himself. So he waved his hand and sealed his son away. The seal would last about a month before being lifted. By then, it would be too late for Zhang Shaochu to do anything.

As a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, Zhang Jie found it surprisingly easy to seal his son, who was a Golden Immortal at the peak.

Half a month passed quickly. During this time, Wu Hao was busy preparing his little gadgets. Since the Wu Family was about to announce their presence, they naturally had to appear invincible.

Looking at the nine True Dragons at the peak Immortal Venerable level before him, Wu Hao’s face was brimming with satisfaction.

“Not bad, worthy of a Late Stage Immortal Emperor’s True Dragon. Just a single drop of its essence blood created nine True Dragons at the peak Immortal Venerable level.”

Wu Hao looked at Wu Qilong, who was trembling beside him, and said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Wu Qilong was cursing inwardly. He had been stationed comfortably within the Wu Commerce Association, never expecting that Wu Hao would suddenly come to him and, without any explanation, take a drop of his essence blood.

Essence blood, whether for demon beasts or cultivators, was extremely precious and important. Losing too much could even risk death and total cultivation destruction.

“All right, all right, consider this elixir as compensation. Hurry up and break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle,” Wu Hao said, noticing the pitiful look on Wu Qilong’s face and tossing him an elixir without much patience.

After taking the elixir, Wu Qilong’s expression changed instantly. He kicked off the ground and stood up, saying,

“Master, do you still need more essence blood? If so, as long as I don’t die, just take whatever you want.”

“Oh, really?” Wu Hao looked at Wu Qilong with a sly expression, which made Wu Qilong’s heart skip a beat.

Wait, shouldn’t a master be pleased with such loyalty and reward him with even more elixirs?

But Wu Hao clearly saw what Wu Qilong was thinking, so he waved his hand and casually tossed Wu Qilong to the side.

The elixir Wu Hao gave to Wu Qilong could help him break through from Late Stage Immortal Emperor to Pinnacle. By then, even if Wu Hao was no longer in the Upper Realm, very few could harm Wu Qilong at that level.

“All right, from today onward, you nine will be our Wu Family’s exclusive mounts. Appear only on extremely important occasions. When the Wu Family takes off, we will definitely not forget you,” Wu Hao said boldly as he waved his hand, looking at the nine True Dragons at the peak Immortal Venerable level before him.

The nine True Dragons before him all started breathing rapidly, nodding eagerly in agreement.

They were originally only at the Great Emperor Pinnacle level, but thanks to Wu Hao’s efforts, they had been greatly blessed within just half a month. If they continued to follow the Wu Family, even becoming an Immortal Emperor and then Becoming a God would probably be nothing for them.

At that moment, Wu Rulong came before Wu Hao and said slowly,

“Father, the time has come.”

“Hmm, in that case, you will lead the team to depart,” Wu Hao replied, turning to Wu Rulong with a serious expression.

Seeing the expectation in his father’s eyes, Wu Rulong was momentarily stunned, but he quickly nodded firmly in agreement.

“I understand, Father. I will definitely not let you down!”
