A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Departure, The World Inside the Combat Tower

“Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Qi Long is with us, and if any danger comes up, he’ll step in. Besides, within the Xuanyuan Realm, there’s no one above the Immortal Emperor, so we won’t be in any real danger.” Wu Xianni said seriously.

Seeing this, Qin Shiyu couldn’t help but sigh, while Wu Qinlong standing beside her looked conflicted, though in the end, he said nothing.

Soon, Wu Xianni and Wu Mowu rushed off beyond the Penglai Immortal Island, still within the sight of Wu Qinlong and Qin Shiyu.

“Sigh, husband, do you think Xianni and Mowu will be okay?” Qin Shiyu looked at Wu Qinlong, her tone full of worry.

Wu Qinlong’s face was serious as he replied gravely, “They will. They absolutely will. After all, they are the children blessed by Grandpa.”

“Aqiu, who is thinking of me?”

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Wu Hao sneezed, feeling a bit puzzled. He closed his eyes to sense around and then realized it was Wu Qinlong quietly muttering about him.

But Wu Hao didn’t dwell on it further. Although he had his divine statue outside the Xuanyuan Realm, which he could control to return to the Xuanyuan Realm, he wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary. After all, within one world, Wu Hao could only keep one divine statue of his own.

If that statue were destroyed, it meant he would have abandoned that world, and it would no longer provide him with the Power of Faith.

“But it’s getting close. At the current pace, in about ten thousand years, our Wu Family will likely become the strongest force within the Divine Realm,” Wu Hao thought inwardly. Judging by the current progress, by the time Yifan and the others break through to the God Emperor Realm, he estimated he would have already advanced beyond the God Emperor realm—into the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

The catch was, Wu Hao didn’t know if there were even higher, more powerful realms above the Heavenly Emperor Realm. What troubled him most was that even now, he couldn’t figure out the origin of the system embedded within him.

Once one reached Divine Rank cultivation, they could use the Power of the Great Dao to create something like a system, but Wu Hao had no clue about the nature of the system inside him.

He planned to investigate the system’s origin after breaking into the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

The Heavenly Emperor was omnipotent; even a God Emperor was just a single strike away from being instantly defeated. And if one strike didn’t work, two would do.

Meanwhile, inside the Combat Tower at this moment, Zhang Tianhao might have initially been a little surprised and unfamiliar upon entering, but after some time had passed, he was finally getting used to the environment within the Combat Tower.

After an hour outside, Zhang Tianhao finally found the first floor’s BOSS and easily defeated the battle puppet left behind by Wu Hao in an instant. After all, the first floor’s BOSS only had late Qi Refining stage strength.

After slaying the battle puppet, a somewhat pure power surged into Zhang Tianhao’s body, significantly boosting his cultivation and bringing him much closer to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This pleasantly surprised Zhang Tianhao. Although this pure power hadn’t yet allowed him to break into the Foundation Establishment Stage, he reminded himself this was only the first floor—there were still ninety-eight floors left. He estimated the power gained from defeating the BOSS on each subsequent floor would only grow stronger.

By the time he reached the ninety-ninth floor, he could only imagine how powerful the BOSS would be.

As Zhang Tianhao finished off the first floor’s battle puppet, the scene before his eyes shifted in an instant, bringing him directly to the second floor.

Zhang Tianhao stared for a moment, then quickly realized this was indeed the second floor.

Shaking his head, he began swiftly searching the second floor, collecting resources and slaying demon beasts. With his strength, the second floor was merely child’s play.

Outside, even through the Combat Tower, Wu Hao could see what was happening inside and could only shake his head. Given the current pace, by the time Zhang Tianhao emerged from the Combat Tower, he would be ready to break into the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Though it would be difficult, reaching the Spirit Sea Realm Stage within a month was still achievable—it just meant enduring some pain.

Back inside the Combat Tower on the second floor, Zhang Tianhao soon found the BOSS and killed it with a single strike.

On the second floor, the battle puppet’s cultivation had reached the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, but against Zhang Tianhao, it was nothing more than a single move to defeat it.

Soon after, on the third floor, at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he killed the puppet in one strike; on the fourth floor, at the Early Spirit Sea Stage, it took three strikes to defeat it.

By the time he reached the fifth floor, the battle puppet’s cultivation had reached the Peak Spirit Sea Realm. This plunged Zhang Tianhao into a tough battle. After all, the Spirit Sea Realm was the closest stage before the Golden Core Realm. Although Zhang Tianhao was at the Nine-turn Qi Refining Peak, there were still three major levels between him and the Golden Core Stage. His Nine Cycles Dao Technique was incredible, but not to that extent.

Exhausting nearly all the spiritual energy within him, Zhang Tianhao finally found an opening and smashed the Peak Spirit Sea battle puppet before him with a punch. After defeating it, he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath in large, ragged gulps.

“Phew, with my current strength, going up against the Golden Core Stage would still be too exhausting. But at least I can get a taste of the power at the Golden Core Stage,” Zhang Tianhao thought silently.

Then, the surroundings shifted, and he found himself on the sixth floor.

Upon arriving on the sixth floor, Zhang Tianhao didn’t immediately seek out the battle puppet. Since he was in a weakened state, he needed to restore himself first before engaging.

After about an hour of recovery, Zhang Tianhao finally felt his condition return to its peak.

Once prepared, he headed toward the center of the sixth floor. Experience had told him that battle puppets were always found in the central area.

The moment Zhang Tianhao reached this center, he caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing past, and then the world before his eyes turned dark.

When Zhang Tianhao opened his eyes again, he found himself outside the Combat Tower.

“With your current strength, reaching the sixth floor was already your limit. As for facing the Golden Core Stage, wait until you break through the Foundation Establishment Stage,” Wu Hao’s voice sounded beside Zhang Tianhao’s ear. However, Zhang Tianhao didn’t register any of it. His mind was consumed by just one thought.

Had he just been instantly defeated by someone at the Golden Core Stage? He hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the opponent’s figure.
