A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 516

Chapter 516 Abolish the Holy Maiden Position? I Am the Founding Patriarch!

“Senior Sect-Guarding Divine Fire, in that case, why not make Little Friend Wu the Holy Son of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect?” Luo Wanyan quickly said. In fact, within the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, the position of Holy Son holds a status almost equal to that of the Sect Master and can be regarded as the next Sect Master in waiting.

Before Wan Ling could respond, Luo Wanyan continued, “I can promise you, Senior Sect-Guarding Divine Fire, that when Little Friend Wu wishes to become Sect Master, I will willingly step down and let him take the position.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Ling fell into deep thought, seemingly considering the feasibility of Luo Wanyan’s proposal.

At this moment, Wu Zhen’e also spoke up, “If that is the case, then let’s proceed according to Sect Master Luo’s suggestion.”

“All right, since you have spoken, Master, we will follow what you say.”

Before long, Wan Ling finally agreed.

With that, Wu Zhen’e officially became the Holy Son of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect. As for the remaining four stages of the assessment, once Wu Zhen’e obtained the Myriad Netherflames, he no longer needed to participate in them, since the recognition from the Myriad Netherflames was more important than the rest of the assessment.

At this moment, Su Ningyu, the Great Elder of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect and an Early Divine Lord, suddenly had a thought. His expression shifted slightly as he approached Luo Wanyan and spoke.

“Sect Master, if Little Friend Wu becomes the Holy Son of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect, what should be done about Bai Ningyu?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanyan’s expression also changed. In his earlier rush, he had overlooked Bai Ningyu. After all, Bai Ningyu was their sect’s Holy Maiden, and if her position were to be stripped because of Wu Zhen’e, it would seem unfair to her.

At that moment, Bai Ningyu arrived at the scene as well. Seeing the Sect Master and the others all gathered around Wu Zhen’e, her face turned noticeably cold. She quickly stepped in front of Wu Zhen’e and looked toward Luo Wanyan and the others, saying,

“Sect Master, I allowed this person to enter the sect’s assessment because I felt sorry for him. If the Sect Master has any concerns, please do not make things difficult for him.”

Seeing Bai Ningyu arrive, Luo Wanyan and the others’ expressions grew complicated.

But before Luo Wanyan could respond, Wu Zhen’e, who was being protected by Bai Ningyu, spoke up,

“Miss, there’s no need for that. The Sect Master and the others are not trying to make things difficult for me; they simply came to appoint me as the Holy Son.”

Hearing Wu Zhen’e’s words, Bai Ningyu’s face was full of disbelief. After all, who would believe that a random person she encountered would possess talent that was not inferior to her own?

But after a long moment passed without hearing any objection from the Sect Master and the others, she turned to look at Luo Wanyan and the others, only to see their faces filled with complicated expressions.

At that moment, Bai Ningyu’s heart sank. She realized that what Wu Zhen’e said was true.

At the same time, Bai Ningyu also understood the rules of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect: there could only be one Holy position. With Wu Zhen’e having gained the recognition of the Sect Master and the others and becoming the Holy Son,

that meant her position as Holy Maiden was no longer secure.

Seeing Bai Ningyu’s already pale face turn even more ashen, Wu Zhen’e sensed that something was wrong. He looked toward Luo Wanyan and the others and asked,

“Sect Master, is there something wrong here?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanyan sighed and replied with some helplessness,

“Little Friend Wu, according to the rules, the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect can only have one Holy position. Since you have become the new Holy Son, then by the same rules, Bai Ningyu’s status as Holy Maiden must be revoked.”

When Wu Zhen’e heard that Bai Ningyu’s position as Holy Maiden would be taken away, he finally reacted and quickly spoke up.

“Can Bai Ningyu’s position as Holy Maiden not be retained?”

“No, that is the Founding Patriarch’s rule. We disciples have no right to abolish it.”

Luo Wanyan shook his head, speaking with great seriousness.

At that moment, Bai Ningyu spoke up, looking at Luo Wanyan with a serious expression.

“If this is the Founding Patriarch’s rule, then I, Bai Ningyu, accept it. From today onward, I will no longer be the Holy Maiden.”

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhen’e grew anxious and turned to Wan Ling, saying,

“Say something quickly! Aren’t you the Sect-Guarding Divine Fire? Given your status, you should be able to overturn this rule!”

Wan Ling shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness.

“I cannot break this rule either, because it is my Master’s decree. However…”

Originally, Wu Zhen’e had planned to give up being the Holy Son to ensure that Bai Ningyu could keep her position as Holy Maiden, after all, it was thanks to Bai Ningyu’s intervention that he was able to enter the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect to participate in the assessment.But hearing Wan Ling’s words, Wu Zhen’e felt a glimmer of hope and quickly spoke up.

“But what? Hurry and say it.”

“Didn’t I say before? You are the reincarnation of my Master, so you are the Wu Ji Divine Emperor. That makes you the Founding Patriarch of the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect. As the Founding Patriarch, it’s only natural for you to abolish a rule.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen’e’s eyes immediately brightened, but then thought of something and hesitated as he said,

“If I claim to be the Founding Patriarch, I doubt they would believe me. After all, I don’t have any memories of being the Wu Ji Divine Emperor.”

“Hmm, I’m starting to doubt it myself. How could my Master be this foolish? I’m right here, aren’t I? With me as proof, would Luo Wanyan and the others really still have doubts?”

Wan Ling glanced at Wu Zhen’e and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

At once, Wu Zhen’e suddenly understood. He looked at the Wuji Divine Artifact Sect’s powerful members gathered in front of him, spent some time preparing himself mentally, then cleared his throat very seriously before speaking.

“Everyone, how about listening to what I have to say?”

Hearing Wu Zhen’e speak, everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward him, eager to hear what he was about to say.

Seeing all eyes on him, Wu Zhen’e suppressed his nervousness and began,

“Alright, I won’t pretend anymore. In fact, I am your Founding Patriarch, the Wu Ji Divine Emperor!”

Upon hearing Wu Zhen’e claim to be the Founding Patriarch Wu Ji Divine Emperor, everyone present was shocked, their expressions filled with disbelief as they looked at him.

After all, in their eyes, Wu Zhen’e was merely an Immortal Venerable; how could he possibly be connected to the God Emperor realm Founding Patriarch?

Luo Wanyan cast a doubtful look at Wu Zhen’e and said,

“Little Friend Wu, you say you are the Wu Ji Divine Emperor, the Founding Patriarch of our Wuji Divine Artifact Sect—do you have any proof?”

At these words, Wu Zhen’e fought to suppress the panic rising inside him and snorted coldly,

“What proof do I need? Wan Ling has already acknowledged me as her master. If I’m not the Wu Ji Divine Emperor, then who else could be?”Upon hearing Wu Zhen’e’s words, Luo Wanyan and the powerful figures present fell into deep contemplation. Could it be that Wu Zhen’e was truly the reincarnation of their Founding Patriarch?
