A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Unable to Act for Now?

Soon, the Five Great Sects decided to quickly spread the news that the Tianhai Sect possessed a power originating from beyond the Divine Realm. After all, time was of the essence; the earlier this was made public, the sooner the Tianhai Sect would be exposed to the various forces within the Divine Realm.

Meanwhile, the Tianhai Divine Emperor had already arrived at the Tianhai Sect’s Forbidden Land. It was a world shrouded in a mysterious array. Upon entering, what greeted him was an intense Forbidden Power. If an ordinary Divine Spirit appeared here, it would likely be parasitized by the Forbidden Power in an instant, turning into a puppet controlled by it.

But the Tianhai Divine Emperor was completely unaffected and swiftly advanced deeper into the Forbidden Land. As he reached its depths, he saw countless waves of Forbidden Power surging outward from the heart of the land and then receding, endlessly repeating this cycle.

Yet, the Tianhai Divine Emperor treated this as nothing unusual. He respectfully spoke toward the depths of the Forbidden Land.

“Ancestor, something has happened.”As the Tianhai Divine Emperor finished speaking, the once surging Forbidden Power immediately ceased. Before the Tianhai Divine Emperor could even react, a small, frail figure appeared before him. The elder exuded an aura of decay, as if he was on the verge of passing away. Yet at the same time, he seemed to harbor an incredibly terrifying power, such that if it were unleashed, even the entire Domain of Myriad Laws could be destroyed in an instant.

This figure was none other than the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea, Ma Ziquan, who had already broken through to the God Venerable realm.

Ma Ziquan’s face was dark and grim as he spoke harshly, “What happened?”

Seeing this, the Tianhai Divine Emperor quickly recounted everything. Upon hearing that Wang Di had been slain, Ma Ziquan’s expression was full of disbelief.

“That’s impossible. Wang Di was the most suitable being I have ever seen for wielding Forbidden Power. Moreover, before entering the Haotian Divine Realm, he had already reached the True God Peak for a long time. There’s no way he could have fallen within the Haotian Divine Realm.”

“Ancestor, I don’t believe it either. But the Holy Son did indeed die within the Haotian Divine Realm, so we must prepare to respond accordingly,” the Tianhai Divine Emperor said again.

Ma Ziquan furrowed his brow. He knew well that if Wang Di died inside the Haotian Divine Realm, it likely meant he faced an enemy that even the Forbidden Power couldn’t overcome.This also meant that perhaps all the True Gods who had survived the Haotian Divine Realm now knew that the Holy Son possessed the Forbidden Power. Although most of them probably didn’t know the true origin of the Forbidden Power, they certainly needed to prepare in advance. If worst came to worst, they might have to wipe out the Five Great Sects right under the Domain Lord’s watchful eyes.

“How many survived the Haotian Divine Realm alive?” the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea asked.

Without hesitation, the Tianhai Divine Emperor recited the list of True Gods and Divine Spirits who had managed to survive the Haotian Divine Realm, information previously obtained from Elder Qin.

“Among the Five Great Sects, only Shen Youwei, the Holy Maiden of the Wudao Sect, escaped alive. The rest number just over a hundred True Gods—nothing to be feared.”

“Foolish! What do you mean ‘nothing to be feared’? They might also know that Wang Di wielded the Forbidden Power. I want you to find them all immediately and eliminate them!” the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea snapped angrily. After all, this matter was extremely grave. If the Divine Salvation Society found out, it wouldn’t be long before they wiped out the Tianhai Sect.

Hearing this, the Tianhai Divine Emperor’s face changed as well. He quickly nodded in agreement.

After a moment, the Tianhai Divine Emperor spoke again.“We must act swiftly. I will set out now for the Five Great Sects. It will be the perfect opportunity to pin the Holy Son’s demise on their sects.”

“An astute plan, Ancestor,” the Tianhai Divine Emperor quickly flattered, but the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea waved him off.

“Enough with the flattery. Hurry up and find all the True Gods who survived the Haotian Divine Realm, and make sure they keep quiet.”

“Yes, sir!”

With that, the Tianhai Divine Emperor left immediately. The Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea didn’t hesitate either. After making a few preparations, he headed toward the Five Great Sects.

He wasn’t sure if Wang Di had already revealed his breakthrough to the God Venerable rank. If that news was out, even he might not be able to swiftly take down the Five Great Sects once they united. His only hope was to move fast enough before they had time to react.

Meanwhile, the Four Sect Masters had already left the Wudao Sect, setting out to spread the accusation that the Tianhai Sect had been tainted by Forbidden Power.

After a moment of reflection, Divine Emperor Wudao’s expression shifted slightly. Then he spoke.”Great Elder, come see me for a moment.”

Almost immediately after Divine Emperor Wudao’s words fell, the Great Elder appeared before him.

“Sect Master,” the Great Elder greeted respectfully. Divine Emperor Wudao waved him off and then spoke.

“Very well. I plan to go see the Domain Lord, to see if I can get him to intervene. Of course, I will need to be away for about five days. During this time, you must be prepared to prevent the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea from making a move against our Wudao Sect.”

Hearing this, the Great Elder hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Sect Master, didn’t the Domain Lord say he would not interfere in the conflicts between the Six Great Sects? Even if we tell him, knowing the Domain Lord’s nature, I doubt he would get involved.”

But Divine Emperor Wudao just shook his head and said,

“Even so, the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea has broken through to the God Venerable rank, and most likely wields power that does not belong to the Divine Realm. The Domain Lord has been stuck in the Intermediate Stage of the God Venerable rank for quite some time. If we inform him, he might actually develop some interest. That way, it could buy us a bit more time.”

As Divine Emperor Wudao finished speaking, the Great Elder finally realized what was happening and quickly said,

“I understand, Sect Master. You can go with peace of mind. As long as I am still alive, I will not let anything happen to the Wudao Sect.”

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, Divine Emperor Wudao’s expression darkened, and he replied,

“What do you mean, ‘go with peace of mind’? Don’t worry, I’ll probably be back soon, and I doubt the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea will make a move so quickly during this time.”

“Understood, Sect Master,” the Great Elder nodded.

He soon watched the Sect Master depart from the Wudao Sect, but for some reason, an ominous feeling lingered in the Great Elder’s heart.

Then, thinking it over, the Great Elder shook his head.

That fellow Ancestor of the Heavenly Sea probably wouldn’t be foolish enough to strike the Five Great Sects so soon. Acting rashly like that would only draw even more attention from other forces.

Yet what the Great Elder didn’t guess was that, at this very moment, something was happening within the Tianhai Sect powerful enough to bring about the destruction of their Wudao Sect.
