A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: The Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s Surprise

“What! You actually broke through to such a high realm in such a short time?”

The moment he saw Wu Yidao, the Great Elder instinctively tried to probe his cultivation level. To his shock, he couldn’t see through Wu Yidao’s realm at all, and his face was filled with astonishment.

The Violet Thunderfinches nearby, upon hearing the Great Elder’s words, looked at Wu Yidao with a mixture of shock and scrutiny, completely unable to believe that he could have advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage in such a short time.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao did not deny it; instead, he bowed slightly and smiled faintly.

“Hmm, just a stroke of luck.”

For some reason, upon hearing Wu Yidao’s words, all the Violet Thunderfinches present felt an urge to give him a good beating. But since none of them were a match for Wu Yidao now, they reluctantly dismissed the thought.

Changing the subject, the Great Elder asked with some puzzlement,

“I take it you’ve come to us today with an important matter?”

“Yeah, now that I’ve reached the Immortal Emperor stage, in my opinion, it’s time to head to the Divine Realm. I wonder what everyone thinks about that?”Upon hearing this, the Great Elder and the others fell silent. After a long moment, a graceful figure appeared before them—it was Zi You.

The moment Zi You appeared, the Violet Thunderfinch warriors present all knelt in reverence to her.

“Clan Leader.”

“Please rise.”

Zi You waved her hand gently, and the gathered crowd rose to their feet.

Then she turned to Wu Yidao, her eyes full of complexity. She hadn’t expected Wu Yidao to be such a prodigy—advancing to the Immortal Emperor stage in less than a century, and it seemed he was even at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle.

It was worth noting that when the Ancient Star Road was restored, Wu Yidao had only reached the Immortal King stage. To break through so quickly to the Immortal Emperor stage meant his future achievements were probably beyond what the Violet Thunderfinch Clan could hope to match.

Thinking this, Zi You felt incredibly grateful to be on good terms with Wu Yidao. Otherwise, the Violet Thunderfinch Clan would be missing a rare chance to soar.

What Zi You didn’t know was that without the Divine Origin gifted by Wu Hao, even with Wu Yidao’s own talent, breaking through the heavens during this period would at best only have allowed him to reach the Late Immortal Sovereign stage.

“Since Fellow Daoist Wu is ready, let’s wait until my sister completes her breakthrough, then leave together.”Zi You spoke up, and upon hearing her, the Elders present nodded in agreement.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

After seeing the Great Elder and the others off, Zi You turned her gaze to Wu Yidao, her expression full of complexity. After a long moment, she quietly said,

“Fellow Daoist Wu, I have a favor to ask.”

“No need for formalities, Senior Zi. Just call me Yidao,” Wu Yidao quickly replied. He was not the type to forget respect simply because of his strength, nor would he go from calling others ‘Master’ when young to calling them by their given names once powerful.

Hearing this, Zi You felt deeply relieved. She could also see that Wu Yidao was a person who valued loyalty and friendship greatly. Without hesitation, she quickly continued,

“I hope you can keep an eye out for any news about Zian in the Divine Realm—whether he is alive or dead, at least there must be some kind of answer.”

As she spoke the last part, Zi You’s heart grew heavier. She still harbored lingering resentment over the events of those years, upset that Chen Zian had disappeared without giving her any explanation.

But at the same time, she worried about Chen Zian’s safety, hoping that some accident had prevented him from responding to her, which might help ease the anger she felt toward him inside.Upon hearing Zi You’s words, Wu Yidao nodded without hesitation.

“Senior Zi, rest assured. I once received Senior Chen’s kindness and promised him that I would find his true body. So there’s no need to worry—I’ll take care of this matter.”

“In that case, thank you for your help,” Zi You replied gratefully. Then, as if remembering something, she glanced toward Zi Lei, who was undergoing her Tribulation not far away. After a long pause, she spoke again with a request.

“If possible, please look after my younger sister on the Ancient Star Road. At the very least, make sure she stays safe.”

Zi You couldn’t ask Wu Yidao to protect all the powerful members of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan heading to the Ancient Star Road. After all, that was their own decision, and as clan leader, she could only wish them safety. She couldn’t ask Wu Yidao to personally guard them.

But Zi Lei was her sister, and she had explicitly told Zi You she intended to venture into the Divine Realm. So, for her sister’s safety, Zi You had no choice but to make the request.

Before Zi You finished speaking, Wu Yidao waved his hand, interrupting her.

“Senior Zi, don’t worry. Zi Lei is my close friend, so I will definitely protect her thoroughly.”

Wu Yidao’s nature was deeply loyal and benevolent. Not only Zi Lei, but even strangers, as long as they were friends, Wu Yidao would never stand idly by and watch them die before his eyes.At this point, Zi You had arranged everything completely and bowed respectfully to Wu Yidao in thanks.

“In that case, thank you for your help, Little Friend Wu. I plan to enter seclusion to break through to the Late Stage Immortal Emperor, so the matters ahead will be in your hands.”

“Understood.”

Wu Yidao nodded in agreement. Then he watched as Zi You disappeared before him and returned to the dojo to begin her seclusion.

Soon after the Great Elder and the others left, they quickly informed the rest of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s strong cultivators about the situation. Upon learning that they would soon be departing the Xuanyuan Realm, the entire Violet Thunderfinch Clan instantly mobilized on a grand scale.

For a time, farewells were being said here and preparations made there; in short, everywhere throughout the clan territory, scenes of impending separation were visible.

Although everyone understood that traveling to the Divine Realm was extremely dangerous, this was a rare opportunity to become stronger. There was no reason to prevent it, so they could only urge those heading to the Divine Realm to prioritize their safety above all else.

Standing atop the Violet Thunderfinch territory, Wu Yidao watched this scene with a deep sense of melancholy. Though he longed to return home himself, he understood that now was not the time.

“I’ll come back once I’ve broken through to God King. With Great Grandfather guarding the family, there shouldn’t be any trouble.”

“My parents have probably already ascended to Great Luo Golden Immortals as well. Even if we are separated for a long time, it won’t matter. I’ll just miss them a little. But it’s okay—when I return, everything will be resolved.”Wu Yidao quietly thought to himself, his resolve growing ever stronger.

About a year later, Zi Lei finally completed her Tribulation Crossing, stabilizing her cultivation at the Intermediate Stage Immortal Venerable. The moment she opened her eyes, a pair of icy, piercing pupils appeared. Yet, when those eyes fell on Wu Yidao not far away, they involuntarily gleamed with a spark.
