A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Taking in Wan Ling, Let Me Become the Sect Master?

“All right, from today onward, you are my Master. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but if you are not my Master, I can’t guarantee that the thing inside your body will survive,” Wan Ling said with a hint of playfulness as she looked at Wu Zhen’e.

Wu Zhen’e’s expression darkened. For a moment, he felt like calling her shameless and despicable, but in the end, he said nothing. After a sigh, he agreed.

From this point on, besides the Five Elements Bell inside him, Wu Zhen’e now also possessed the mighty Myriad Netherflames as a lethal weapon.

“All right, I’m going to rest now. If nothing urgent comes up, there’s no need to call me. That’s all,” Wan Ling said before, in the next moment, entering Wu Zhen’e’s body just like Zi Xuan had. Before he could even react, she had already established a contract with him.

As Wan Ling merged into his body, the surrounding environment suddenly shifted, returning to the familiar Divine Fire Mountain.

Floating around Wu Zhen’e were many divine flames, all taking human forms and looking at him with eyes full of expectation.

But for Wu Zhen’e now, having Wan Ling—the Myriad Netherflames—was more than enough. If he signed contracts with even more flames, his body in its current state might just explode and perish.Wu Zhen’e sighed and cupped his fists toward the surrounding flames.

“Everyone, I’m truly sorry, but please leave. I’ve already signed a contract with the Myriad Netherflames.”

Hearing Wu Zhen’e’s words, the fire spirits around him showed expressions of disappointment, but it wasn’t too surprising. In fact, as soon as they saw Wu Zhen’e seal the contract with the Myriad Netherflames, they had realized they probably wouldn’t be able to form contracts with him.

Before long, the fire spirits dispersed and disappeared.

After they had all left, and before Wu Zhen’e could even react, the environment shifted again, and he found himself outside Divine Fire Mountain.

Seeing Elder Yu and the group of powerful figures surrounding him, Wu Zhen’e immediately grew alert, assuming a stance ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Ro Wan Yan watched this scene with some amusement, unable to do anything but speak as gently as he could.

“Little friend, there’s no need to be so tense. I am Ro Wan Yan, Sect Master of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect. I only came here because the commotion from your assessment caught my attention. I’m wondering—have you already signed a contract with the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect?”

Before Wu Zhen’e could reply, Wan Ling suddenly emerged from within his body. This unexpected sight startled everyone present.

After seeing Wan Ling’s form, Ro Wan Yan was the first to react, respectfully addressing her.

“Greetings, Sect-Guarding Divine Fire senior!”As Luo Wanyan spoke, the Elders of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect around him also began to speak in unison.

“Greetings to the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire senior!”

Watching the scene before her, Wan Ling showed not a flicker of emotion. She waved her hand and said, “Enough. Everyone, stand up. Over the years, I never imagined that the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect in your hands would fall to such a low state. It’s truly disappointing.”

Her tone was filled with deep disappointment.

Hearing this, a trace of shame flickered across Luo Wanyan’s face.

Indeed, when the Wu Ji Divine Emperor was still alive, the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect was a formidable force known throughout the entire Divine Realm.

But after the Wu Ji Divine Emperor’s passing, the sect declined visibly and rapidly. By the time of Luo Wanyan, the strongest figure within the sect was him—its Sect Master at the Intermediate God Venerable stage.

“Please calm your anger, Sect-Guarding Divine Fire. This was something I could not avoid,” Luo Wanyan said in a somewhat remorseful tone. He had done his best to prevent the sect’s decline, but many of its powerful members wished to leave, and he was powerless to stop them.

Thus, the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect deteriorated to its current state.Wan Ling sighed and shook her head.

“Alright, let’s put this matter to rest. From today onward, Wu Zhen’e is my Master. I believe that under Wu Zhen’e’s leadership, the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect will surely return to its former peak—perhaps even surpass it.”

“Furthermore, I declare that starting today, Wu Zhen’e is the new Sect Master of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect. Do any of you have objections?”

To Wan Ling, Wu Zhen’e was the reincarnation of her original Master. Now that he had returned, it was only natural for him to reclaim his position as Master of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect.

However, to the others, this was an utterly ridiculous notion. Shock and disbelief showed clearly on their faces as they looked at Wan Ling.

Before Luo Wanyan could speak, Wu Zhen’e took the initiative to respond.

“Senior, Wan Ling, this can’t be.”

Originally, Wu Zhen’e had planned to address Wan Ling respectfully as “Senior,” but upon seeing her cold stare, he decided instead to call her by name directly.

Wu Zhen’e shook his head, speaking with utmost seriousness.

“Managing a sect is a task of great importance. I am but an Immortal Venerable—how could I possibly oversee such a vast sect as the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect? Even if you intend for me to become Sect Master, at the very least I must reach the Divine Venerable Realm before taking on such responsibility.”“Furthermore, Senior Luo is currently serving perfectly well as the Sect Master of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, so there is absolutely no need for him to step down.”

From Luo Wanyan and the others’ earlier attitudes toward Wan Ling, Wu Zhen’e had already realized that Wan Ling must hold a very high position within the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, and her power was likely formidable.

Even so, Wu Zhen’e was still reluctant to become the Sect Master of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect under Wan Ling’s mysterious assistance.

There were two main reasons. The first was that the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect was an enormous sect—within its ranks were several God Venerable Elders, more than twenty God Emperors, and over a hundred God Kings. If he were to rely on Wan Ling’s help to become the Sect Master, the sect’s powerful figures would likely respect Wan Ling enough to allow him the title, but behind the scenes, they would never truly accept his authority. This was something Wu Zhen’e was determined to avoid.

The second reason was that his current focus was solely on becoming stronger. If he took on the role of Sect Master, the multitude of responsibilities within the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect would inevitably slow down his progress and growth.

Hearing Wu Zhen’e’s words, Wan Ling frowned deeply.

“But within the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, only one position truly suits you—the Sect Master. No other role matches your worth.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen’e was about to respond when Luo Wanyan, who had been silent beside him, finally lost his patience and quickly spoke up.
