A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Heading to Tianfeng Academy

At the moment Su Qiaoran opened her eyes, the entire sky of the Divine Rank changed color. In just an instant, a Tribulation Cloud appeared, enveloping everything. This was the Heavenly Dao Tribulation that had to be endured during a Divine Spirit’s breakthrough. Only by crossing it could one successfully advance to a more powerful realm.

If one failed, they would dissolve into Origin Power, dispersing into the Divine Realm.

Of course, after reaching the God Emperor Realm, one no longer needed to endure tribulations, since the strength of a God Emperor was comparable to a Heavenly Dao itself. Naturally, no further tests from the Dao were necessary.

Seeing his wife about to face the tribulation, Wu Hao’s thoughts stirred, and he departed from the Divine Rank realm.

Though Wu Hao’s power could easily help Su Qiaoran avoid the Thunder Tribulation, doing so would harm her foundation in the future. The essence of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation was to gradually transfer the Dao’s power to the one crossing it. Only after enduring all the tests of the Thunder Tribulation could one claim to have fully received the Dao’s power.

As Wu Hao left, a gloomy Thunder Tribulation suddenly emerged from the void, rushing toward Su Qiaoran.

Seeing this, Su Qiaoran remained completely calm. She drew her divine sword from within and quickly began to defend.

As she moved to act, the power of the Heavenly Dao Tribulation was unable to reach her and was swiftly blocked by Su Qiaoran. But just as she was about to succeed in crossing the tribulation…

The next moment, the Heavenly Dao Tribulation quietly vanished, but Su Qiaoran seemed to be affected by some force. She closed her eyes and slowly descended from the sky of the Divine Realm, finally landing within a Great World.

Seeing this, Wu Hao’s expression grew grave.

“This is… the Heart Demon Tribulation?”

The Heart Demon Tribulation did not occur just once. After advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, every breakthrough could potentially trigger a Heart Demon Tribulation, though the chances were slim. For example, Wu Hao himself had never experienced one.

Among the Children of Destiny and the descendants of the Wu Family, Wu Hao had never witnessed the Heart Demon Tribulation appear on them either. Of course, this might be because Wu Hao was not always nearby.

Therefore, Su Qiaoran before him was the first person Wu Hao had ever seen face a Heart Demon Tribulation.

If one failed to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation, they would fall within it and be destroyed outright, their existence dissolving directly into Origin Power.

But if they succeeded, their strength would surpass that of a normal tribulation crossing.

The contents of the Heart Demon Tribulation were not fixed or singular. It could involve glimpses of the future or the past, depending on whether the person crossing the tribulation could unravel its meaning. Only by resolving the Heart Demon Tribulation could the crossing be considered complete.

What surprised Wu Hao most was that shortly after entering the Heart Demon Tribulation, Su Qiaoran woke up. Her aura stabilized, rising from the Intermediate Divine Rank to the Late Divine Rank.

Just as Su Qiaoran’s own realm stabilized at the Intermediate Divine Rank, Wu Hao appeared before her immediately.

Su Qiaoran wasn’t surprised. Although it all happened in an instant from her perspective, she also knew Wu Hao would come to her side as quickly as possible.

What Wu Hao hadn’t expected, however, was that upon seeing him, Su Qiaoran suddenly leapt into his arms and said in a somewhat coquettish tone, “Husband, I missed you.”

“Hmm, I missed you too,” Wu Hao replied with a smile before soothing her gently.

Then, as if recalling something, Su Qiaoran looked around at their surroundings and asked with some confusion, “So, husband, how did you get in here?”

“Simple. I just broke through the Divine Rank,” Wu Hao said with a shrug, his expression calm and matter-of-fact.

Hearing this, Su Qiaoran’s face lit up with an “I knew it” look.

But Wu Hao didn’t pay it much mind. Instead, something came to his mind, and he looked at Su Qiaoran and said,

“Let’s go. We should first make a trip to Tianfeng Academy.”

Back when he was still at the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Wu Hao had already received a message from Li Yuping. He had simply replied, telling her to have Li Changsheng and Divine Emperor Tianfeng come to see him.

After all, it was they who wanted to meet him, not the other way around. It was only proper that they came to visit him. To say Wu Hao was willing to meet them at all was already an honor on their part.

But now that he had the time, Wu Hao didn’t mind going to Tianfeng Academy first. Considering Li Yuping’s cultivation level, it would be more convenient for Wu Hao to go to Tianfeng Academy than for her to rush over to Qingyun Sect to meet everyone.

Hearing this, Su Qiaoran didn’t ask further and simply nodded her agreement.

Meanwhile, inside Tianfeng Academy, Li Yuping, arranged by Li Changsheng, had also been temporarily settled at the academy. After all, he didn’t know where Wu Hao was at that moment.

In other words, even if Divine Emperor Tianfeng and their Master wanted to see Wu Hao, they would have to wait until the Divine Rank activation and then wait for his arrival before they could meet.

Facing Wu Hao’s request, Divine Emperor Tianfeng and Li Changsheng did not find it strange at all. After all, Wu Hao was a senior, and being able to meet him even once was already quite fortunate.

“Changsheng, who do you think that senior really is?”

Divine Emperor Tianfeng and Li Changsheng sat facing each other, their expressions extremely serious. After all, there were only two and a half years left before they would meet that senior, so naturally, they were both nervous, afraid of doing something to offend him.

In response to the Dean’s inquiry, Li Changsheng shook his head, appearing much calmer than Divine Emperor Tianfeng.

“From Yuping’s description, that senior doesn’t seem like a cruel or vicious person. As long as we show respect and bring gifts, the senior probably won’t treat us badly. Besides, we have connections with Yuping, so we can relax most of the time.”

Hearing Li Changsheng’s words, Divine Emperor Tianfeng couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile and said, “How can you expect me to relax? That senior is the one who destroyed Emperor Jingrang—he’s a God Venerable. If we can get along well, it would definitely be a good thing for Tianfeng Academy. But if we can’t, you know how fragile Tianfeng Academy’s situation is right now; we might not last very long.”

At those words, Li Changsheng fell silent. Indeed, given Tianfeng Academy’s current state, unless a God Venerable openly took residence there, it probably wouldn’t survive another hundred years.

Just then, a terrifying aura descended upon Tianfeng Academy. The sudden turn of events caused the expressions of Divine Emperor Tianfeng and Li Changsheng to change drastically, and the next moment, they both vanished from where they had been sitting.

At the same time, inside Tianfeng Academy, the students all sensed this aura and trembled as they stood frozen in place. Gritting their teeth, they looked up at the sky, where a lone figure appeared.

Though seemingly frail and small, his aura was undeniably powerful, surpassing that of a God Emperor—a God Venerable!
