A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Setting Up the Clan Protection Grand Array!

“Yi Dao, no, how did you get so strong?”

Zi Lei approached Wu Yidao as soon as she saw him, planning to brag a little about her own talent. After all, she had managed to break through to the Intermediate Stage Immortal Venerable in such a short time. She figured her talent must seem impressive to Wu Yidao as well.

But what Zi Lei hadn’t expected was that the moment she spoke, she sensed a profound, abyss-like aura from Wu Yidao—so deep it was completely undetectable—and she immediately fell silent.

In response, Wu Yidao smiled humbly, though he struggled to fully suppress a grin at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s just luck.”

“Sometimes I really want to dissect you and see what your structure is like. To accomplish Immortal Emperor in such a short time—remember, even the most prodigious genius in the Xuanyuan Realm took a full hundred thousand years to reach that level.”

Zi Lei looked at Wu Yidao with keen curiosity. If she weren’t still no match for him now, she might actually have considered inspecting what made him tick.

Hearing her words, Wu Yidao wore a helpless expression and sighed before replying,

“I’m just human—two eyes, one nose. What else could be different? Like I said, it’s all just luck.”

“Keep pretending then, keep pretending.”

Zi Lei rolled her eyes so hard it seemed they might pop out, her disbelief clear.

Seeing this, Wu Yidao knew it was pointless to keep explaining. He quickly changed the subject, saying,

“Senior Zi Lei has gone into seclusion to break through to the Late Stage Immortal Emperor. Before she entered, she told me to inform you that all matters after her seclusion are your responsibility. Also, she said that once you complete your breakthrough, you should prepare to enter the Ancient Star Road.”

Zi Lei’s expression grew serious. She nodded.

“Okay, I understand. Give me half a month. Half a month from now, we’ll gather before the Ancient Star Road.”

Wu Yidao nodded and then turned to leave, heading toward the Ancient Star Road. Before entering, he needed to make some preparations.

Watching Wu Yidao’s retreating figure, Zi Lei looked like a lovestruck fool. After a long moment, she sighed deeply. Originally, she had thought breaking through to Intermediate Stage Immortal Venerable would give Wu Yidao a chance to show off a bit, but she hadn’t expected him to have already reached Immortal Emperor. This made her feel like a joke.

It seemed she still needed to work even harder; otherwise, she wouldn’t be worthy of Wu Yidao.

With that thought, Zi Lei turned and hurried toward the Clan Hall. She needed to select an acting clan leader—or possibly hand over the clan leader position entirely. Based on what she knew about her sister, she wasn’t too concerned about holding the title. Perhaps she had become clan leader out of a sense of responsibility toward the Violet Thunderfinch Clan.

Now that I’m helping my sister hand over the clan leader position, she will surely feel much less pressured, Zi Lei thought to herself with some satisfaction.

“Aqiu, what’s going on?”

Zi You had just settled into seclusion when a sudden uneasy feeling stirred in her heart. After some pondering with no results, she could only continue her cultivation. With Wu Yidao guarding things outside, nothing should go wrong.

After leaving Zi Lei’s side, Wu Yidao quickly flew up above the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s territory. Staring at the clan lands before him, his expression grew extremely grave.

“Before I leave, maybe I can use this last half month to set up a clan protection grand array for them,” Wu Yidao thought to himself. The current protection array of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan was a Seventh-Grade Immortal Array, enough to fend off Immortal Venerables, but clearly inadequate against an Immortal Emperor.

So Wu Yidao planned to help the Violet Thunderfinch Clan establish a brand-new protection array before he left to make sure that if the clan encountered a powerful enemy in the future, they would still have the strength to defend themselves.

“With my current mastery of arrays, I’m capable of setting up a Ninth-Grade Immortal Array, but materials are limited. In that case, I’ll set up an Eighth-Grade Immortal Array,” Wu Yidao decided inwardly. His skill in array formations advanced far faster than his cultivation. If it weren’t for the Divine Origin gift he had received from Wu Hao, he might have already reached the divine level in array mastery even before breaking through to Immortal Emperor.

Once the plan formed in his mind, Wu Yidao quickly began his work.

He flew to the center of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s territory and ascended into the sky. The next second, with a sweep of his hand, countless formation stones flew out from within his Inner World.

At the very moment Wu Yidao began, the noise spread throughout the entire clan territory, causing all the strong cultivators to involuntarily change their expressions in alarm.

Inside the Clan Hall, Zi Lei had already gathered the Great Elder and others and was about to share her thoughts when she sensed something. Her expression immediately changed, and the next moment she appeared outside the hall.

Almost instantly, the Great Elder and others also appeared outside the Clan Hall. Everyone then saw Wu Yidao’s figure and their expressions turned extremely serious.

“That’s a terrifying aura. What is Senior Wu planning to do?” the Great Elder said gravely. Earlier, they couldn’t sense Wu Yidao’s aura, but now that they could, they clearly understood he had reached a level far beyond their reach.

Nearby, Zi Lei shook her head slowly and said calmly, “Don’t mind it. Go back.”

“But what if Senior Wu intends to make a move against our Violet Thunderfinch Clan?”

An Elder at the Initial Stage Immortal Venerable looked worried and couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Zi Lei remained silent, and the Great Elder was the first to respond.

“What, do you really think that with the current strength of our Violet Thunderfinch Clan, if we found out Senior Wu planned to strike us, we would actually dare to make a move against him?”

“Hmm, that does seem to be the case.”

The Elder froze for a moment, realizing the logic in that. After noticing even the Clan Leader hadn’t appeared, the Elder dismissed the concern.

Meanwhile, Zi You, who had been immersed in her cultivation, was disturbed by the sudden aura. Her expression grew sour, but when she sensed what Wu Yidao was doing, a look of shock immediately crossed her face.

“Little Friend Wu is helping the Violet Thunderfinch Clan set up a new clan protection grand array?”

With Zi You’s keen insight, she naturally could tell what Wu Yidao was up to. Although she couldn’t yet discern the exact grade of the array he was forming, it was clear it had to be more powerful than the clan’s current protection array—otherwise, he wouldn’t bother setting up a new one.

Thinking of this, Zi You quickly sent a message to her sister. Upon learning that Wu Yidao was helping their clan arrange a far stronger grand protection array, Zi Lei’s gaze toward Wu Yidao in the sky grew even more complicated.

They owed Wu Yidao so much—how could they ever repay him? It seemed the only way was to pledge themselves to him.
