A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Taking Action, Then Being Suppressed

“So, Tian Hao, we still can’t move against the Wanfeng Dynasty yet?”

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Tianhao with a very serious expression. In fact, as soon as he broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he wanted to lead an army to attack the Wanfeng Dynasty and exact revenge—after all, the Wanfeng Dynasty had cruelly harmed many citizens of the Tianling Dynasty.

Zhang Tianhao shook his head.

“Father, there’s still a powerful adversary within the Wanfeng Dynasty. I’m no match for him. That opponent’s strength is likely beyond mine, so it’s best not to rush into attacking the Wanfeng Dynasty just yet. We should wait until the Tianling Dynasty grows stronger.”

Hearing this, although Zhang Yu was eager for revenge, he could only nod in agreement. Given the current development of the Tianling Dynasty and the resources Zhang Tianhao had left behind, it wouldn’t be long before he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. When that time comes, avenging against the Wanfeng Dynasty might be more feasible.

But soon, Zhang Yu’s expression grew more complex as he looked at Zhang Tianhao.

“So, Tian Hao, are you planning to leave?”

“Yes, Father. Staying inside the dynasty is not beneficial for my cultivation. If I return to the sect, my cultivation will progress faster.”

Zhang Tianhao did not deny it. After sensing the presence of a powerful Great Expert behind the Wanfeng Dynasty, his previous pride—thinking that reaching the Spirit Sea Realm was a significant achievement—quickly faded.

The path of cultivation has no peak; there is always someone stronger beyond the mountain. His own strength was still insufficient, so he needed to keep growing stronger.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu sighed but did not stop him. Children grow up and must live their own lives; as a father, all he could do was offer his blessings.

Soon, Zhang Tianhao set off with Cai Wankun, heading beyond the borders of the Tianling Dynasty. Zhang Yu simply watched them leave, then after a long while, turned around and went back to continue his cultivation.

Under his careful planning, the civil and military officials of the current Tianling Dynasty had all started practicing cultivation. The entire dynasty was thriving because the stronger the dynasty became, the faster his cultivation progressed.

This was also why he had been able to break through so quickly to the Golden Core Stage. If he wanted to cultivate to the point of Ascension, he would likely need to bring the entire Great Wilderness Realm under the Tianling Dynasty’s control.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Tianling Dynasty, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun soon sensed something. Their expressions turned serious as they came to a halt.

Before them appeared a figure shrouded in a layer of black mist. Upon detecting this aura, Zhang Tianhao positioned Cai Wankun behind him for protection, then solemnly looked at the figure and spoke.

“Sir, you must be the one behind the Wanfeng Dynasty, right?”

Hearing Zhang Tianhao’s words, the Demonic Cultivator on the other side was somewhat surprised. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Zhang Tianhao to immediately know his identity upon meeting. However, after some thought, it wasn’t that strange—after all, he likely also understood the current situation in the Great Wilderness Realm.

Suddenly, a cultivator stronger than him appeared, so it didn’t seem all that surprising that he had guessed his identity.

“Little friend, may I ask where your sect lineage comes from?”

The Demonic Cultivator spoke calmly, showing no regard for Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun standing before him. After all, without a sect lineage, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun wouldn’t even qualify to meet him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun exchanged a glance, clearly both understanding the cultivator’s intention.

Cai Wankun sneered coldly and stepped forward, saying, “Our sect lineage is not something you have the right to inquire about.”

At these words, the Demonic Cultivator’s expression turned very unpleasant, and anger flickered in his heart. He considered immediately attacking to kill Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun outright but thought better of it for caution’s sake—after all, he wasn’t sure if what they said was true or not.

Besides, his goal had always been singular: to ascend within five years, before the Tribulation arrived.

Thinking this through, the Demonic Cultivator took a deep breath to calm himself before speaking again.

“Little friend, I mean no offense. I only wish to communicate with your master. I’m sure you don’t know this either: five years from now, a catastrophe will strike the Great Wilderness Realm, one that will leave no survivors. Even the Tribulation Transcendents will not make it through.”

“So, I intend to team up with your Master to find a way to leave the Great Wilderness Realm and survive before the catastrophe arrives.”

Hearing the Demonic Cultivator’s words, both Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun showed some surprise on their faces. Clearly, they hadn’t expected him to know such a thing.

But even knowing this, Zhang Tianhao and the others didn’t take it too seriously. After all, in their hearts, their Master was invincible. A mere catastrophe? If it came, they would simply stop it.

Not to mention Cai Wankun—Lin Qianyan was likely to become a Saint within five years, maybe even beyond that. Given her terrifying gift of the Nether Dao Physique, she might ascend in less than five years without difficulty.

Thinking this through, Zhang Tianhao decisively shook his head and said flatly, “If it’s about something like that, then you should just leave. We have no intention of attacking you, at least not right now.”

The Demonic Cultivator’s face, shrouded in dark mist, was full of shock. He clearly hadn’t expected Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun to reject him so outright.

His expression darkened as inner turmoil churned inside him, but after some hesitation, he still decided to make his move.

“In that case, let me see just how strong you really are.”

The Demonic Cultivator’s attack caught Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun completely off guard. They hadn’t even reacted before the strike landed, leaving them frozen in place, powerless to move.

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Qin Shaolong had already reached beyond the seventieth level. It wasn’t that his strength couldn’t get him to the ninety-ninth level; rather, he had absorbed a considerable amount of Origin Power from the puppets he had slaughtered.

Therefore, Qin Shaolong needed some time to refine that Origin Power.

However, just as he was immersed in refining the Origin Power, he sensed something and his expression suddenly changed.

“How dare you lay a hand on those two? You’re asking for death!”

As soon as Qin Shaolong’s words fell, he vanished from his spot the next second.

When he reappeared, it was right in front of Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun. In just a moment’s thought, he subdued the Demonic Cultivator, sending him crashing down rapidly from the sky and smashing into the ground, completely immobilized.

This was with Qin Shaolong using only a trillionth fraction of his power, deliberately holding back so he wouldn’t crush the Demonic Cultivator outright. After all, even if it came to death, it had to be Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun who killed him with their own hands.
