A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: The Mysterious Palace

“Hmph, women only slow down my draw speed,” Wang Di sneered as he looked at the fallen Xing Jianya.

“Now, within the Haotian Divine Realm, only one Holy Maiden remains—Shen Youwei. In that case, it’s time to find her quickly and send her on her way,” Wang Di thought to himself. In fact, Xing Jianya was not the first saintly figure he had eliminated. Before her, Cheng Yu, Zhou Zi’an, and Ouyang Jian had all been slain by Wang Di one after another. Although they were all incredibly powerful, with similar foundations, the difference in their realms was enough to end the battles swiftly.

According to Wang Di’s estimation, Shen Youwei wouldn’t get far. After all, he had severely wounded her before, and she wouldn’t have had enough time to recover fully. That meant once Wang Di found her, her only fate would be death.

With this in mind, Wang Di began his widespread search for Shen Youwei within the Haotian Divine Realm. Along the way, every True God expert from scattered cultivators or other sects he encountered was without exception sent on their way by Wang Di. After all, in Wang Di’s eyes, none of them were qualified to compete with him for the Haotian inheritance.

Meanwhile, Shen Youwei was still unaware that Wang Di was relentlessly hunting her through the Haotian Divine Realm. At this moment, she was standing before a palace located in the Great World on the 6,666th layer of the Haotian Divine Realm, accompanied by Wu Yidao.

Both Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei appeared especially solemn as they gazed at the palace before them.

“Do you feel it? There’s a faint, almost imperceptible pull coming from this palace,” Wu Yidao asked after hesitating for a moment.

Shen Youwei shook her head. She did not sense any attraction coming from the palace. Instead, the very first time she laid eyes on it, she was struck by an immensely grand aura radiating from within. Even within her own Wudao Sect, she had never experienced anything like it.

Because of this, Shen Youwei suspected that the palace contained the legacy of the Haotian Sect.

With this thought, she turned to Wu Yidao and said, “I suspect the Haotian Sect’s inheritance lies inside. So, let’s go in.”

“Mm.”

Obtaining the Haotian Sect’s legacy was one of Wu Yidao’s goals, so in the next moment, he and Shen Youwei approached the mysterious palace together. With just a slight exertion of force, the palace’s massive doors opened in response.

A deeply ancient aura emanated from within. Yet, Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei paid it no mind, their faces serious and wary as they stepped inside. The moment they entered, the palace doors slammed shut behind them.

Both of them were startled by the sudden noise. After regaining their composure, Shen Youwei tried to reopen the doors, but the once easily opened doors were now impossible to budge from the inside despite their efforts.

After trying for quite some time and even with Wu Yidao’s attempts, the doors remained firmly closed, forcing the two to give up.”Yi Dao, are we not going to be trapped to death inside this palace?” Shen Youwei asked anxiously, clearly worried.

But Wu Yidao shook his head and calmly replied, his expression utterly serene.

“No, since this palace exists within the Haotian Divine Realm, that means it must serve a definite purpose here. It’s definitely not meant as a deadly trap. Let’s explore inside first—there might be some unexpected surprises.”

Reassured by Wu Yidao’s words, Shen Youwei felt much more at ease.

Meanwhile, in secret, Wu Yidao began communicating with Chaos.

“Chaos, what exactly is the background of this palace?”

“Master, this palace holds no harm for you, only benefits. Feel free to explore—there’s nothing to worry about.”

Chaos’s voice echoed in Wu Yidao’s mind, and upon hearing this, the knot in Wu Yidao’s heart finally loosened. If even Chaos said so, it must truly be safe.

After all, he was Chaos’s master—Chaos surely wouldn’t harbor any intention of harming him.At this moment, Wu Yidao finally had the chance to examine the palace. Upon entering, he sensed that the palace was magnificent beyond measure. His Divine Sense couldn’t even detect its true size—everything felt as though his own strength was being suppressed.

No, it wasn’t just a feeling—his strength really was being suppressed.

Realizing his power had been reduced to only the Emperor Peak, Wu Yidao’s expression darkened further. He looked toward Shen Youwei and asked,

“Youwei, do you feel your strength being suppressed?”

“Suppressed? Hiss, it really is!”

Only after Wu Yidao’s reminder did Shen Youwei realize her cultivation had been pushed down from True God Peak to Emperor Peak. This was an enormous gap.

Moreover, as Divine Spirits, their awareness of their own strength should have been extremely clear. So why hadn’t they immediately realized they were suppressed down to Emperor Peak?

Thinking this over, both Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei looked increasingly grave. They both sensed they had fallen into the middle of a huge storm, yet there was no way to break free at the moment.

In the next second, Wu Yidao spoke.

“The current situation is no longer up to us to decide. For now, let’s explore this palace thoroughly. There’s something strange about every corner of it—perhaps the Haotian Sect’s legacy really is hidden here?”

Upon hearing Wu Yidao’s words, Shen Youwei nodded and then followed closely behind him as they began to explore the palace together. Their posture almost resembled that of a little bird clinging to someone’s side, though neither of them realized it themselves.

Meanwhile, elsewhere within the Haotian Divine Realm, a bloody storm had already erupted following Wang Di’s slaughter. Countless True Gods were hanging by a thread, fearful of encountering Wang Di, who now killed anyone he met without regard for their status.

Under the rallying call of a True God Peak cultivator, all the True Gods and divine spirits within the Haotian Divine Realm quickly became aware of the news. They gathered together, intent on discussing how to survive Wang Di’s wrath.

After all, Wang Di had now reached Earth God level. Even True God Peak cultivators like Xing Jianya had fallen to Wang Di’s hand. As for ordinary True God Peaks, they barely stood a chance—there might not even be an opportunity to fight back.
