A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 491

Chapter 491: What Wu Daoyu Discovered

Noticing Su Qiaoran’s unusual demeanor, Wu Hao immediately pulled her into his arms and softly said, “Don’t be nervous. I’ve always been by your side.”

“Mm,” Su Qiaoran nodded, deeply moved.

Just then, Wu Hao seemed to recall something. With a wave of his large hand, a surge of turquoise-green energy flowed out from him, spreading throughout the entire Qingkong Domain.

Affected by this turquoise-green power, the Su Family—previously devastated by the fierce battle between Wu Hao, Su Haoyu, and Su Changkong—as well as the Qingkong Domain itself, and the beings within it who had fallen due to the aftershocks, were all revived.

Those resurrected beings looked toward Wu Hao with expressions full of reverence. They never expected Wu Hao to bring them back to life. After all, in battles between Great Experts, casualties were usually considered just unlucky, and resurrection was unheard of.

Yet, Wu Hao had actually brought them back to life. In an instant, countless powerful figures throughout the Qingkong Domain felt a deep respect for Wu Hao. In his eyes, streams of Power of Faith surged inward toward him.

“I never imagined there would be so much Power of Faith.”

Wu Hao was somewhat surprised but did not absorb the Power of Faith into his body. After all, he didn’t need it for his own advancement, and the Power of Faith had significant drawbacks. That was why Wu Hao avoided using the Power of Faith unless absolutely necessary.

After storing the Power of Faith away, Wu Hao looked to Su Qiaoran and asked, “So, what are your plans from here?”

Wu Hao himself had no particular plans. After all, coming to the Northern Sky was only to avenge his father-in-law. As for resurrecting his father-in-law, with Wu Hao’s current strength, it was simply impossible to bring a God Venerable back to life.

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Su Qiaoran paused in thought for a moment, then quickly raised her head and shook her head.

“My business has already been resolved. For the rest of my life, I will live for you.”

At her words, Wu Hao was momentarily stunned, deeply moved in his heart, and immediately pulled Su Qiaoran into his embrace.

“Qiaoran, thank you for staying by my side.”

“No, it should be me thanking you. Without you, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far. So, thank you, Wu Hao.”

Su Qiaoran spoke with a complex mix of emotions as she was held in Wu Hao’s embrace.

At that moment, Wu Daoyu and the others, along with Li Yuping, tactfully moved to the other side, leaving the space to Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran.

After a long while, Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran finished their brief exchange of pleasantries and then approached Wu Daoyu and the others. Wu Hao said, “Alright, we were only here to visit the Northern Sky. Now that everything’s settled, we don’t plan to stay. So you all take good care of managing the Wu Dao Sect here in the Northern Sky.”

With that, Wu Hao was ready to leave the Northern Sky, taking Su Qiaoran and Li Yuping with him to return to the Southern Sky.

But just then, Wu Daoyu hesitated and, after some inner turmoil, finally spoke.

“Master, we’ve uncovered some things during our investigation here in the Northern Sky. I think it’s necessary to tell you about them.”

Hearing Wu Daoyu’s words, Wu Hao grew a bit curious. If it was something important enough for Wu Daoyu and the others to feel compelled to tell him, what could it be?

Wu Hao nodded, prompting Wu Daoyu to share all the information he had gathered during this time.Upon hearing Wu Daoyu’s words, both Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran’s expressions turned grave.

“Master, after we arrived in the Northern Sky, we encountered several God Emperor factions that refused to submit to our Wu Dao Sect. So, we wiped out those factions. However, during their last desperate counterattack, the God Emperors unleashed a type of power unknown to us, and it caused us significant trouble,” Wu Daoyu said solemnly, still visibly shaken as he recalled the incident.

Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran exchanged a glance, then Wu Hao was the first to summon a power.

“Is this the power you’re talking about?” he asked.

Upon feeling the power Wu Hao manifested, Wu Daoyu and the others were shocked and quickly nodded.

“That’s right, Master, this exact power,” they confirmed.

Hearing this, Wu Hao’s face darkened as he murmured to himself, “It seems the power from beyond the Divine Realm has deeply infiltrated it.”

Initially, Wu Hao had thought that perhaps only some Divine Spirits of lower ranks used powers from outside the Divine Realm, but he hadn’t imagined that even God Emperors would employ such forces. This meant the situation was far graver than he had anticipated.Then, as if recalling something, Wu Hao spoke up again.

“So, did anything change in them after using the Forbidden Power?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Daoyu thought for a moment before finally answering.

“There were no obvious changes, but after using the Forbidden Power, their strength far surpassed other Divine Spirits of the same level. Some could even kill God Emperors from the mid-stage or even late stage despite the rank difference.”

“I see. Were they manipulated or deceived?”

Wu Hao murmured to himself. After all, as long as one is alive, few can resist the temptation of great power. Many would abandon all principles to become stronger, so accepting the Forbidden Power was naturally understandable.

What weighed heavily on Wu Hao, however, was whether those God Emperors who accepted the Forbidden Power had been manipulated by others or had discovered the source of the Forbidden Power on their own.

Unfortunately, since those God Emperors had already been slain by Wu Daoyu and the others, there was no way for Wu Hao to investigate further.

It was clear Wu Daoyu and the others had considered this as well, and they apologized to Wu Hao. Wu Hao waved his hand and said,

“It’s nothing. Even if I were to investigate, I probably wouldn’t be able to uncover anything from their remains.”Wu Hao was well aware of their methods. If he were to investigate personally, those God Emperors would likely self-destruct immediately. Although he was powerful, he still couldn’t prevent a God Emperor from detonating in his presence.

The mood, which had previously lifted from having avenged his father-in-law, now grew heavy once again.

After a long pause, Wu Hao finally spoke.

“In any case, keep investigating any information on the Forbidden Power while you’re in the Northern Sky. Once you find anything related to it, don’t take action right away. Contact me first and wait for my orders.”

“Yes, Master.”

Wu Daoyu and the others responded respectfully. Then, as if remembering something, they looked at Wu Hao hesitantly and asked,

“Master, we’ve taken in quite a few God Emperor forces in the Northern Sky. Their God Emperors want to meet you in person. What do you plan to do?”

“Want to meet me?”

Wu Hao was somewhat puzzled. He doubted he had allowed Wu Daoyu and the others to reveal his identity as the figure behind the Wu Dao Sect. Why were they so certain that there was a powerful figure backing the sect?

Wu Daoyu nodded, then suddenly remembered something and hurried to speak again.“Master, I haven’t revealed your existence. They simply assumed it on their own and asked me if they could meet you in person.”

After hearing this, Wu Hao thought deeply for a while. Once he was sure he had no other pressing matters, he nodded in agreement.

“If that’s the case, then arrange for them to meet me. I’m also curious to see just how strong the elites of the Northern Sky really are.”

As he said this, Wu Hao’s expression grew somewhat serious, as if he had some plan forming in his mind.
