A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Wu Yidao Receives the Inheritance

“Big Brother, thank you so much for saving me.”

The little girl whom Wu Yidao had saved expressed her gratitude to him with heartfelt sincerity.

Wu Yidao waved his hand dismissively, showing no concern.

“As cultivators, we must draw our swords to help whenever we see injustice.”

Hearing this, the little girl looked at Wu Yidao with a serious tone and asked,

“Big Brother, then why do you practice cultivation?”

“No particular reason. I practice because I want to. If I had to give a reason, it’s probably because I feel I was born to cultivate—not for anyone else, simply to cultivate itself.”

Seeing this scene, Wu Yidao’s understanding deepened, and his mind suddenly opened up with clarity.

Meanwhile, inside the Demon Heart Illusion, the figure of ‘Wu Hao’ had been mostly swallowed by the void; only a few strands of hair remained visible.

But the next moment, he was engulfed in a burst of light.

“What!”

‘Wu Hao’ looked utterly incredulous. He saw that Wu Yidao, who had previously been swallowed by the void, quickly restored himself to his original state. Moreover, his cultivation realm recovered from the suppressed Great Emperor level to the Late Stage of True God.

Wu Yidao was bathed in radiant light as he looked at ‘Wu Hao’ and said,

“Great Grandfather, I have come to a clear realization—I cultivate for myself. I was born to cultivate.”

But ‘Wu Hao’ shouted angrily at Wu Yidao,

“No, I won’t allow it!”

As ‘Wu Hao’ charged toward him, Wu Yidao shook his head calmly and replied flatly,

“No, you are not my great grandfather. Though my great grandfather had certain expectations of us, he would never resort to violence against us the way you do.”

“So, die.”

After Wu Yidao finished speaking, in just a single thought, the figure of ‘Wu Hao’ before him turned to ash and dissipated.

As soon as Wu Yidao sent ‘Wu Hao’ on his way, the pitch-black illusionary space was immediately bathed in light, and an ethereal voice echoed out.

“Congratulations on passing the third level of the trial.”

As the voice faded, Wu Yidao looked around and saw that they had already returned to the Legacy Palace where they had been before.

Shen Youwei sat beside him, eyes wide open and looking around in confusion.

Clearly, she didn’t understand why she had emerged from the Demon Heart Illusion, but once she realized and saw Wu Yidao by her side, and felt her cultivation restored, there was no need to guess anymore.

“Yidao, so you have obtained the Haotian Legacy?” she asked.

“Just got lucky,” Wu Yidao replied modestly.

At that moment, the Haotian Divine Venerable appeared once again before them. Seeing him, both Wu Yidao and Shen Youwei quickly bowed respectfully and greeted him.

“Haotian Divine Venerable.”

“Enough, no need for formalities.”

The Haotian Divine Venerable waved his hand and then turned to Wu Yidao, saying,

“Little friend, since you have passed the trials I left behind, you are worthy of my legacy. I wonder, are you prepared?”

“Senior, I am ready,” Wu Yidao replied earnestly.

With that, in the next moment, he saw the Haotian Divine Venerable stretch out his hand and point. Instantly, an incomprehensibly vast power surged into Wu Yidao’s body.

Within that power was also the Haotian Divine Venerable’s battle experience and life wisdom.

The force was so overwhelming that as soon as Wu Yidao began to absorb it, he had no time to react before falling into a deep sleep.

After completing this, the Haotian Divine Venerable’s remnant soul began to grow translucent. Seeing this, Shen Youwei looked on with concern and asked,

“Senior, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. This remnant soul is what I left behind. Now that I have passed on the Haotian Sect’s legacy, it’s only a matter of time before I dissipate.”

The Haotian Divine Venerable waved his hand casually, his tone extremely calm. He had long been dead; this was just his remnant soul.

After saying this, the Haotian Divine Venerable looked over at Shen Youwei. After a long pause, he finally spoke,

“Little friend, I see you have a bright talent. It just so happens that I still have a legacy suitable for you under my command. I wonder if you would be willing to accept it?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Youwei’s expression brightened. Even though she didn’t receive the Haotian Sect’s main legacy, whatever legacy the Haotian Divine Venerable held couldn’t be something simple.

Thinking this, Shen Youwei nodded without hesitation.

“Senior, I am naturally willing.”

“Good. In that case, this legacy will be yours,” the Haotian Divine Venerable said. With a casual point, he passed the inheritance of a God Emperor Peak elder from the Haotian Sect to Shen Youwei.

From the moment he saw Shen Youwei, he felt that she would be extremely compatible with this elder’s legacy.

After absorbing this legacy, Shen Youwei fell into a deep sleep, her aura gradually growing stronger.

The Haotian Divine Venerable looked at the two who were now sleeping before him and couldn’t help but sigh. His figure then slowly dissipated until he vanished completely.

Only after the Haotian Divine Venerable had disappeared did Chaos’s figure materialize in the same spot. Chaos remained silent for a long while, letting out a single sigh but ultimately saying nothing.

Outside the Legacy Palace, the True Immortals who had entered the Haotian Divine Realm had already been almost entirely wiped out by Wang Di. Yet, Wang Di’s expression was far from pleased.

“Damn it, where has that wretched Shen Youwei gone? Why can’t I find her?”

Wang Di naturally knew Shen Youwei’s true background. Given the injuries from that day, there was no way she could have died. So she must be hiding somewhere within the Haotian Divine Realm. All he could do now was find her—and finish her off.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Boom.

“Hah, finally broke through to the peak of True Immortal.”

Feeling the power coursing through his body, Wu Yidao thought with satisfaction. Of course, the power from the Haotian Divine Venerable’s legacy hadn’t been fully used yet; otherwise, his cultivation would have surpassed the True God Peak.

After waking up, Wu Yidao intended to thank the Haotian Divine Venerable, only to find that the Divine Venerable was nowhere to be seen. Shen Youwei, meanwhile, had seated herself cross-legged nearby and was still asleep.

“Where has the Haotian Divine Venerable gone?” Wu Yidao asked, somewhat confused.

At that moment, Chaos appeared before Wu Yidao. Looking at him, Chaos let out a sigh and said, “He has already left.”

“Already left?”

Upon hearing that the Haotian Divine Venerable was gone, a strange unease settled in Wu Yidao’s heart. After all, since he had received the Divine Venerable’s legacy, Haotian Divine Venerable had felt like a master to him.

If he became strong enough in his cultivation, he wondered whether it might be possible to resurrect the Divine Venerable.

As if sensing Wu Yidao’s thoughts, Chaos shook his head and said, “That’s not something you should be concerned with right now. Resurrecting a God Venerable—let alone a God Emperor—is extremely difficult, especially since he did not die at the hands of any living being in the Divine Realm.”

“What do you mean?”

Hearing Chaos’s words, Wu Yidao felt a foreboding sense deep in his heart. Could there be hidden truths behind the downfall of the Haotian Sect after all?
