A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 361

Chapter 361 Divine Salvation Society

“Little friend, this was something done out of necessity. Please allow me to explain.”

Divine King Chixuan noticed the anger in Wu Yidao’s tone. Although Wu Yidao’s strength wasn’t a match for him, the Artifact Spirit standing before Wu Yidao was far more powerful than Divine King Chixuan himself. With that in mind, Chixuan quickly recounted the entire sequence of events.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao’s expression shifted repeatedly. After a long moment, he asked with some puzzlement, “So, someone in the Xuanyuan Realm actually ascended by becoming a God and leaving?”

“Yes. Back then, I was close friends with Wanmu. But my talent simply surpassed his—within just ten thousand years, I had reached the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. Wanmu was just lucky to have obtained the Five Great Artifacts; otherwise, I would have already executed him,” Divine King Chixuan said proudly. After all, as the person with the greatest talent in the Xuanyuan Realm at the time, even now, it takes a trillion years to reach the God King Pinnacle—a feat that remains extremely formidable throughout the Divine Realm.

After learning the truth, Wu Yidao sighed helplessly and chose not to dwell on it further. After all, it had been the best way to handle the situation back then. If it had been him, he might not have done any better than Divine King Chixuan.

But then, Wu Yidao’s expression turned somewhat surprised as he asked in confusion.

“Senior Chixuan, do you mean that after leaving the Xuanyuan Realm, you joined a faction within the Divine Salvation Society?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hearing this, Divine King Chixuan’s expression turned extremely serious. He looked at Wu Yidao and said earnestly, “Little Friend Wu, with your talent, if you could be accepted into the Divine Salvation Society, you would surely be valued highly. Becoming the new president wouldn’t be out of the question.”

As he explained, Divine King Chixuan also revealed some of what had happened after leaving the Xuanyuan Realm, naturally including the fact that he had joined the Divine Salvation Society upon departure.

Moreover, Divine King Chixuan was genuinely impressed by Wu Yidao’s talent and didn’t want it to go to waste.

Faced with Divine King Chixuan’s invitation, Wu Yidao hesitated for a moment but ultimately shook his head to decline.

“Senior Chixuan, I’ve grown used to a carefree, wandering life and can’t stand being restrained. So, I think I’ll pass for now. But if I ever plan to join a faction, the Divine Salvation Society will be the first I consider.”

Hearing Wu Yidao’s refusal, Divine King Chixuan sighed helplessly but did not insist. Instead, he said, “If you change your mind, Little Friend Wu, you can come find me.”

After speaking, Divine King Chixuan took out a Divine Artifact for communication. Once he infused it with power, it could transmit messages, though it needed a little time. Wu Yidao did not refuse; he accepted it and nodded in thanks.

“Thank you, Senior Chixuan.”

“Hmm, in that case, we’ll see each other in the Divine Realm.”

Divine King Chixuan sighed deeply. After bidding farewell to Wu Yidao, he left immediately.

After slaying Immortal Emperor Wanmu, he had sensed that all his old friends in the Xuanyuan Realm had already fallen. Since that was the case, staying in the Xuanyuan Realm no longer held any meaning for him.

Although the Xuanyuan Realm had been elevated to accommodate beings at the God King level, that didn’t mean one had to break through to God Emperor to leave the realm. Exceeding the Immortal Emperor level was sufficient.

After Divine King Chixuan had left for a while, Wu Yidao finally turned to Chaos with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

“Chaos, so you know about the Divine Salvation Society?”

Upon hearing this, Chaos shook his head.

“I’ve never heard of this faction within the Divine Realm. Maybe it’s simply too weak,” Chaos replied.

“Alright then.” Wu Yidao shrugged helplessly. He had originally planned to assess the strength of the Divine Salvation Society to prepare for any confrontation with them. Although Divine King Chixuan had indicated that this matter was settled, who could be sure of what lay beneath the surface? What if, after Chixuan left, he returned to the Divine Salvation Society to rally support?

Therefore, Wu Yidao intended to be ready. He wanted to understand the true power of the Divine Salvation Society first, so that when they eventually faced off, he wouldn’t be clueless about his enemy.

“But it’s also time to leave the Xuanyuan Realm. If I stay any longer, I might have to leave ahead of schedule.”

Feeling his own cultivation level, Wu Yidao’s expression grew serious. After absorbing about one ten-billionth of the Divine Origin, he finally reached the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle. If he absorbed any more, he feared he would inevitably Become a God.

With less than a hundred years remaining, Wu Yidao planned to find Zi Lei and the others to inform them of his departure—a way to repay them for their care during this time.

Meanwhile, inside Zi Lei’s cave residence, her aura surged and rolled like the tides. Whenever it receded momentarily, it would return even more forcefully and aggressively.

Boom!

Violet Thunderfinch’s aura trembled, and in the next moment, she surged past the Immortal Sovereign Pinnacle straight into the Immortal Venerable realm—not just the Early Immortal Venerable stage, but broke through all the way to the Late stage before finally stopping.

At the exact moment Violet Thunderfinch reached the Late Immortal Venerable stage, streaks of jet-black Thunder Tribulation rapidly formed above the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s territory, visible even to the naked eye.

“That’s… Violet Thunderfinch has broken through to Immortal Venerable? This terrifying Thunder Tribulation is probably more than just the Early stage.”

On Clan Leader Mountain, Zi You slowly opened her eyes. Glancing toward the direction of the Thunder Tribulation, she immediately recognized it as the location of her sister’s cave residence. However, now having broken through to the Mid Immortal Emperor stage, Zi You was confident in her sister’s abilities and didn’t worry much. After a brief look, she turned back to her cultivation.

Violet Thunderfinch’s breakthrough stirred quite a commotion throughout the entire Violet Thunderfinch Clan, and many eyes turned toward the Thunder Tribulation.

“That girl Violet Thunderfinch is impressive. She’s gone from the Immortal Sovereign Pinnacle to Immortal Venerable in less than a hundred years. Given time, reaching Immortal Emperor might not be out of the question.”

The Great Elder nodded and spoke. His own aura had already stabilized at the Early Immortal Emperor stage, but he had been stuck at the Immortal Venerable Pinnacle for tens of thousands of years. Coupled with the recent world elevation, it was not surprising that he had now broken through from Immortal Venerable Pinnacle to Immortal Emperor.

The Second Elder and the others also nodded, their auras strengthening slightly. Though not yet at the Immortal Emperor stage like the Great Elder, they were very close, and likely only a few more years away from breaking through.

Just then, a figure appeared before them: it was none other than Wu Yidao.Wu Yidao’s sudden appearance immediately drew everyone’s attention. His expression was calm, but his eyes held a sharpness that could not be hidden. The Great Elder glanced at him and nodded slightly, as if acknowledging an unspoken understanding.

Wu Yidao then said in a steady voice, “I have important news regarding the recent theft of the five Divine Artifacts. After extensive investigation, I discovered traces pointing to a powerful individual outside our realms—someone familiar with the hidden paths of time and space.”

A murmur rose among the gathered elders. The Great Elder’s face grew serious as he asked, “Who is this person? And what are their intentions?”

Wu Yidao responded, “The person’s name is Wu Hao. While his origins remain unknown, his ability to manipulate the River of Time indicates he is no ordinary cultivator. It’s clear he has his own plans, and we must act cautiously.”

Zi You, still observing from a distance, soon stepped forward and suggested, “If Wu Hao has control over time itself, confronting him recklessly could be disastrous. We should gather more information before making our move.”

The Great Elder agreed, “Zi You is right. For now, we will monitor any further disturbances in the Thunder Tribulation and prepare our defenses. Once we understand Wu Hao’s true capabilities and goals, we will decide our course of action.”

With that, the atmosphere in the Violet Thunderfinch Clan shifted. Though uncertain and tense, there was a shared resolve to protect their legacy and uncover the mystery behind the stolen Divine Artifacts.
