A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: Wu Yifan’s Opportunity

Rumble—

In the Void of the Divine Realm, Wu Yifan floated as countless Thunder Tribulations surged in from all directions, crashing down upon him. Yet, all of them were completely blocked by Wu Yifan himself.

Around Wu Yifan as he crossed the Tribulation, the elder of the Wan Guang Sect watched the scene and nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Yifan had been taken in by this elder into the Wan Guang Sect, and he had not disappointed him. In a short time, Wu Yifan had broken through from Divine Rank all the way to the Peak of Earth God Rank—a truly terrifying talent.

Now, the tribulation he faced was the breakthrough from Earth God Peak to Heavenly God.

This tribulation was essentially Wu Yifan retracing his previous path, so naturally, there were no surprises. Soon, Wu Yifan smoothly ascended to the Heavenly God Realm.

After breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm, Wu Yifan flew over to the elder and asked, “Elder Qian, may I ask if you called me for something?”

Elder Qian was precisely the elder who had brought Wu Yifan into the Wan Guang Sect.

After hearing Wu Yifan’s words, Elder Qian suddenly remembered his purpose. He hadn’t expected Wu Yifan to break through to the Heavenly God Realm so quickly, which momentarily left him stunned.

Upon hearing Elder Qian’s intention, Wu Yifan’s expression grew somewhat serious.

“The Thousand Sect Tournament?”

“That’s right. The Thousand Sect Tournament is a competition among disciples convened by the Bahuang Sect. Only sects with a God Venerable present have the qualification to participate.”

Elder Qian’s expression also became noticeably grave as he spoke, clearly indicating that the strength of the Bahuang Sect was far beyond that of the Wan Guang Sect.

Wu Yifan understood this well. In his previous life, he had some acquaintance with the Bahuang Divine Emperor, the Sect Master of the Bahuang Sect—though it was only a slight connection.

Wu Yifan was unsure whether the Bahuang Divine Emperor would take action against him once he recognized his identity. Although the Divine Emperor was only at the Initial Stage of God Emperor, he was still powerful enough to deal with Wu Yifan’s current self.

So, instinctively, Wu Yifan planned to refuse.

But then Elder Qian spoke again the next moment.

“As far as I know, the first-place winner of the Thousand Sect Tournament receives a Xuan Yuan Fruit, which should be exactly what you need right now.”

Upon hearing Elder Qian’s words, Wu Yifan’s breath caught briefly before he quickly nodded in agreement.

“I understand, Elder Qian. I will participate in the Thousand Sect Tournament.”

The Xuan Yuan Fruit was a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure essential for the Ancient Dao Body to transform from the Peak stage to the Perfect stage. Such an item was extremely scarce even throughout the entire Divine Realm. If he could obtain it, it would undoubtedly benefit his future greatly.

Seeing Wu Yifan agree, Elder Qian’s face lit up with joy. He nodded and laughed heartily.

“I understand. I believe that with your talent, you will surely stand out in this Thousand Sect Tournament and claim first place!”

It was no surprise that Elder Qian felt this way. The Thousand Sect Tournament was held once every ten thousand years, and the participating disciples could not be older than ten thousand years. Very few managed to Become a God before that age, let alone someone who had already advanced to the Heavenly God Realm like Wu Yifan.

In other words, Elder Qian was already envisioning the spectacular scene of Wu Yifan’s dazzling success in the tournament, lifting the entire Wan Guang Sect to new heights.

Soon after, Elder Qian left. Once he was gone, Wu Yifan’s expression grew serious as a suspicious thought crossed his mind.

The Xuan Yuan Fruit was an authentic eighth-grade God-level Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure—why was such a precious item being offered as a mere prize for a junior disciple tournament? It didn’t add up.

He felt there might be some kind of conspiracy involved, but for now, he had no way to deal with it. Since the Xuan Yuan Fruit was crucial for his Ancient Dao Body to ascend from Peak to Perfect, he was determined to obtain it at any cost.

Wu Yifan’s Ancient Dao Body had now successfully transformed to the Minor Accomplishment stage. With just his physical body, he could already go toe-to-toe with Earth God-level experts. Before long, he would advance to the Great Accomplishment stage, and by then, relying solely on his physical body, Wu Yifan would be able to tear apart a God King with his bare hands.

Only at that time would Wu Yifan have even a slight ability to defend himself, aside from the protection granted by the Ancient Bell.

At this moment, however, Wu Yifan had no idea that he had already been drawn into a massive conspiracy.

Time passed in the blink of an eye—an entire year went by.

Meanwhile, inside the Haotian Divine Realm:

“Heh heh heh, Xing Jianya, don’t run. Just come along quietly,” Wang Di sneered as he looked at the terrified face before him.

Xing Jianya’s heart sank to the bottom of a deep pit. She never expected that the one to break through to Earth God would be Wang Di, nor that he would advance so quickly within the Haotian Divine Realm and, immediately after breaking through, come looking for her.

At this point, Xing Jianya knew she was absolutely no match for Wang Di, who had reached the Earth God Realm. With that realization, she resolved to surrender first. Her priority was to survive and get out of the Haotian Divine Realm alive.

As long as she could escape with her life, everything else could be dealt with later.

With that in mind, Xing Jianya looked at Wang Di with a coquettish expression and said,

“Brother Wang Di, please spare me. If you let me go, I’m willing to marry you and become your Dao Companion. Then, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Yiyuan Sect and your Tianhai Sect formed an alliance?”

Xing Jianya swore that deep down, she truly didn’t want to resort to this, but for the sake of survival, she had no other choice but to try this last-ditch plan.

Hearing her words, Wang Di sneered coldly and swung his blade directly at her. Seeing this, Xing Jianya’s face filled with terror. She hastily raised her hand to block, but still was sliced through by Wang Di’s strike and was sent flying, looking utterly disheveled.

Xing Jianya never imagined Wang Di’s strength had reached such a level—that she didn’t even have a shred of power to resist.

“Damn it, Wang Di! I’m willing to become your Dao Companion. Why do you still have to do this? Could it be that your Tianhai Sect truly isn’t afraid to go to war with my Yiyuan Sect?”

Even with death looming, Xing Jianya still wished for Wang Di to stop, hoping to prevent a war between the two great sects.

But upon hearing this, Wang Di only let out another cold laugh and said bluntly,

“What joke are you making? Afraid? The Ancestor of my Tianhai Sect has already broken through to God Venerable. From this day forward, your Five Great Sects have only two possible fates—submission or destruction. And for you, there is only the road to death!”Wang Di’s words were like ice-cold steel, stabbing straight into Xing Jianya’s heart. Her face paled instantly, and all the fire in her eyes extinguished.

“Submission or destruction…” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Is this truly the future our sect faces?”

She clenched her fists, struggling to steady her breath. Despite knowing it was futile, she still refused to accept this harsh reality so easily.

Wang Di sheathed his blade and took a step forward, his expression grave yet firm. “Tell your sect clearly—we will not pause, nor negotiate. The Tianhai Sect will become the true ruler of this realm.”

Xing Jianya bowed her head in silence, knowing resistance was meaningless. The shadow of impending war loomed heavy over the Yiyuan Sect, and the fate of the Five Great Sects was about to be irrevocably altered.
