A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: The Two Guardian Beasts of the Clan

Currently, besides Wu Qilong, the Wu Family also had Wu Hu, another Guardian Beast of the clan.

At this time, Wu Hu had already Ascended to Penglai Immortal Island. With the overwhelming resources of the Wu Family, its cultivation had reached the level of a Five-Tailed Celestial Fox, putting its power on par with the peak of the Immortal King stage in the Human Clan.

However, Wu Hao’s expectations for Wu Hu were not very high, since Wu Hu was still young and had already achieved such remarkable progress.

In contrast, Wu Qilong, despite being hundreds of millions of years old, had only reached the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. Compared to Wu Hu, he was clearly lagging far behind.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qilong said without hesitation, “Master, I will cultivate diligently and make sure my power surpasses that of the Ten Thousand Dragons Emperor!”

After saying this, Wu Qilong turned and returned to Penglai Immortal Island to train even harder. But not long after, he came back to Wu Hao, scratching his head with some embarrassment as he said, “Master, um, it seems impossible to break through to Divine Rank here in the Upper Realm.”

Hearing this, Wu Hao couldn’t help but fall into thought. It wasn’t that Wu Qilong couldn’t reach Divine Rank—the real issue was that the Wu Family was eventually going to leave the Upper Realm. After reaching the Pinnacle of Immortal Emperor, breaking into an even higher realm required Ascension to the Divine Realm.

But if they recklessly tried to break the seals left by the Blood God now, they risked alerting the Blood God. Wu Hao didn’t know the exact realm of the Blood God, but it was likely at the God Emperor level. Without deploying all of his nine-grade God Emperor Artifacts, they simply couldn’t contend with the Blood God.

Those artifacts were Wu Hao’s trump cards, so under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t use them.

“All right, take this elixir and try to break through,” Wu Hao said, tossing a pill at Wu Qilong before dismissing him. “I’ll handle the cultivation matters in the Upper Realm.”

After that, Wu Hao returned to his cave residence to contemplate how he could enable breakthroughs to Divine Rank while still in the Upper Realm.

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Blood Soul Sect…

With the Blood Emperor’s help, everyone in the sect had advanced to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. At a glance, there were a total of fifteen individuals, along with three others at the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level and seven more at the Intermediate Stage Immortal Emperor, all demonic cultivators.

However, they were not originally from the Blood Soul Sect. These were the leaders of subordinate powers during the sect’s heyday many years ago who had since broken through to the Late Stage Immortal Emperor level over time.

They came to the Blood Soul Sect because the Blood Emperor needed their assistance in taking control of the entire Upper Realm, turning it into the Blood Soul Sect’s territory.

“You all have not yet achieved enough for me to help you break through to Immortal Emperor Pinnacle,” the Blood Emperor said expressionlessly, standing before the gathered Immortal Emperors. “But since the Blood Soul Sect needs people now, I’m giving you one chance. If you betray us again, the next time, your fate will be the same as his.”

His gaze then shifted to the not-so-distant figure of the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor, who stood there with a blank expression but whose body was covered in red veins.

The Immortal Emperors present all naturally recognized the Demon Refining Immortal Emperor, and a trace of fear involuntarily flickered deep in their eyes.

“Alright, I will now help you break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. Do not resist—accept my power.”

The Blood Emperor stretched out his hand, and the next moment, a crimson Blood Sphere, about the size of a fist, appeared in his palm.

With a thought from the Blood Emperor, the Blood Sphere rapidly expanded until it enveloped the entire sky.

After completing this, the Blood Emperor looked at the ten Late Stage Immortal Emperors present and said, “Alright, all of you enter. The power of the Blood God will help you break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle within eighty years.”

Hearing this, the Late Stage Immortal Emperors present felt some fear and doubt inside, but this clearly was not the time for skepticism. Even though they were a bit scared, they forced themselves to walk in and be enveloped by the Blood Sphere.

“Father, are you really going to just let them off like this?”

At that moment, Xue Yuan approached the Blood Emperor, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction. After all, if they hadn’t refrained from fighting earlier, the Blood Soul Sect’s strength would have already taken the Upper Realm long ago; there would be no need to wait for so many more years.

Hearing this, the Blood Emperor sneered coldly.

“Let them off? How could such a fortunate thing ever happen? It is their supreme honor to be sacrificed for the Blood Soul Sect. The method I’m using to help you break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle also allows you to continue cultivating beyond that pinnacle.”

“As for them, they will burn all their cultivation to break through the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle, but their cultivation will never advance another inch in this lifetime—that is the best punishment for them!”

Upon hearing his father’s words, Xue Yuan, who had initially thought the Blood Emperor intended to be merciful, shuddered. Luckily, the Blood Emperor was his father, or else he might have been sold out and still had to pay the buyer money.

But soon, Xue Yuan thought of something and asked with some suspicion, “Father, since you have broken through to Divine Rank, why can’t you personally destroy the Five Great Holy Lands? Once the Five Great Holy Lands are wiped out, no one in the Upper Realm will be able to stop us. We wouldn’t even need those ten useless factions then.”

As he said this, Xue Yuan glanced toward the Ten Demon Cultivator Faction Leaders covered by the Blood Sphere.

Hearing this, the Blood Emperor gently shook his head.

“Although I have already reached Divine Rank, I cannot make a move. If I do, my aura will be detected instantly by the Heavenly Dao. Although Lord Blood God set up a sealing formation back then to prevent anyone at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle from appearing in the Upper Realm again, he did not seal away the Heavenly Dao itself.”

“So if I take action, the Heavenly Dao will forcibly expel me from the Upper Realm.”

“That is why, before the Blood Soul Sect has fully taken control of the Upper Realm, I cannot Ascend.”

As he spoke these last words, the Blood Emperor’s eyes burned with a fanatic fervor—his zeal for the Blood God was unmistakable.

As for Xue Yuan, he nodded somewhat uncertainly, then returned to his own dojo to continue cultivating. He needed to prepare; when the great battle came eighty years from now, he wanted to rely on themselves as much as possible to wipe out the Five Great Holy Lands, minimizing the need for his father to intervene.

If only the Five Great Holy Lands were destroyed, there would be no force in the Upper Realm capable of stopping them anymore.

At the same time, in the Ancient Desolation Holy Land of the Southern Region, Li Pangtian, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a strong wave of unease for some unknown reason. He exited his cultivation and rubbed his chest, murmuring anxiously to himself.

“Could it be that the Blood Soul Sect is about to make their move? It makes sense—the Blood Emperor recently broke through to Divine Rank and only needs some recuperation before taking action. When that happens, I don’t know if any of us in the Upper Realm can stop him.”

“No, I still need to ask Senior Wu for some guidance.”

With that, Li Pangtian looked toward the direction of Penglai Immortal Island. Although Wu Hao had said that Wu Yifan would be able to resolve the crisis posed by the Blood Soul Sect, Li Pangtian still hoped to handle it himself.

Moreover, he planned to visit Penglai Immortal Island to ask Wu Hao if there was any way to help him break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle.

Although Li Pangtian was currently a Young Ancient Dao Body with fighting strength at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle level, his Immortal Dao cultivation was still lagging behind. If he could advance his Immortal Dao cultivation to match, then combined with his current power, holding his own against the Blood Emperor would certainly not be impossible.
