A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Thousand Sect Tournament

“Huff, it seems there’s no way to break through any time soon.”

Inside the Wan Guang Sect, Wu Yifan finished his seclusion and sighed, his expression filled with resignation.

But there was nothing he could do. Deep down, he had already accepted it—being able to advance from a mortal to the Initial Stage of a Heavenly God in less than a millennium was already an impressive feat.

Everything else from here on would be left to fate.

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared in Wu Yifan’s mind.

“Yifan, come to the Sect Grand Hall.”

“That’s Elder Qian’s voice. Could it be that the Thousand Sect Tournament is about to begin?” Wu Yifan thought to himself. He cared deeply about the tournament because it offered the chance to elevate his Ancient Dao Body from its peak to the perfect Xuan Yuan Fruit. He couldn’t afford to miss out on the Xuan Yuan Fruit.

Soon after, Wu Yifan came out of seclusion and made his way to the Sect Grand Hall. When he arrived, he saw that the elders of the sect had already gathered inside.

Wu Yifan only glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze. He quickly found Elder Qian and walked up to him.

“Elder Qian.”

“You’ve arrived. Please take a seat. We’re about to announce the details of the Thousand Sect Tournament,” Elder Qian said with a smile as he looked at Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan nodded and then sat down, closing his eyes.

Before long, as the last figure entered, Venerable Wanguang, seated in the Sect Master’s Seat, opened his eyes and slowly began to speak.

“Everyone, I’m sure you understand why I’ve called you here. One month from now, the Thousand Sect Tournament convened by the Bahuang Sect will begin.

The disciples present here are those whom the Wan Guang Sect will send to participate. If any of you wish to withdraw, you may do so now. But once you arrive at the Bahuang Sect, withdrawal will no longer be an option.”

Hearing the Sect Master’s words, the disciples’ expressions grew serious. It was clear they all understood what the Thousand Sect Tournament entailed.

Soon, a disciple spoke up.

“Sect Master, may I ask what benefits we gain from participating in the Thousand Sect Tournament?”“There are definitely benefits. Every disciple who goes to participate in the Thousand Sect Tournament will receive one thousand points. Additionally, if you achieve a good ranking in the tournament, I will offer extra rewards,” the Sect Master said.

Those who take part in the Thousand Sect Tournament face life-or-death risks, so the danger level is extremely high. Venerable Wanguang knew that if he couldn’t give them some incentive, they probably wouldn’t have the confidence to participate.

However, Venerable Wanguang also knew that this time, Wan Guang Sect’s confidence didn’t come from these disciples but from Wu Yifan.

Thinking this, Venerable Wanguang looked in Wu Yifan’s direction, only to see him closing his eyes and resting, displaying a very indifferent attitude. This stirred a bit of dissatisfaction within Venerable Wanguang, but he didn’t say anything, since Wu Yifan was genuinely the most talented disciple in Wan Guang Sect right now.

Upon hearing that they would receive one thousand points just for participating in the Thousand Sect Tournament, the disciples present became excited. These points could be exchanged at the sect’s Myriad Treasures Pavilion for many items that were usually difficult to acquire, including Divine Weapons and Divine Pills.

One thousand points was enough to redeem many valuable things.

“Sect Master, may I ask what the rules of the Thousand Sect Tournament are?” another disciple asked curiously.

Venerable Wanguang nodded approvingly, then adopted a serious expression and said,

“The Thousand Sect Tournament was established by the Bahuang Divine Emperor to test the strength of the thousand sects. It is set within a Divine Rank Realm where Immortals and Divine Spirits entering will be fully retained, requiring continuous battles. The further you advance, the higher your ranking, and those who persevere to the end become the champions.”“In addition, within the Divine Rank Realm, there are many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Even God Emperors are extremely tempted by them. Once you obtain these treasures, they belong to you.”

“Moreover, based on your ranking, as long as you make it into the Top Hundred, you will receive rewards from the Bahuang Divine Emperor.”

“There have been those who, after receiving the Bahuang Divine Emperor’s rewards, broke through from True God to the Heavenly God Realm.”

Hearing this, everyone grew excited. If they could obtain the Bahuang Divine Emperor’s reward, they could soar to incredible heights.

But among the crowd, Wu Yifan still kept his eyes closed, completely unmoved inside. He showed no interest in the Bahuang Divine Emperor’s rewards; the only thing that intrigued him was the Xuan Yuan Fruit.

“All right, if any of you want to withdraw now, you may leave. Otherwise, under my leadership as Sect Master, we will now head to the Bahuang Sect.”

At this moment, Venerable Wanguang rose to his feet, looking at the disciples present with an extremely serious expression as he spoke.

These disciples were all recommended by the Elders and naturally had fairly good talent—though, of course, not when compared to Wu Yifan.

As soon as Venerable Wanguang finished speaking, not a single disciple left. After all, they had fought their way out of countless deadly battles. Now that the chance to grow stronger had come, how could they back down?

Watching this scene, Venerable Wanguang nodded in satisfaction, then continued speaking.“Then let’s go!”

With that, Venerable Wanguang waved his hand, immediately drawing all the disciples present into his Inner World, before heading toward the Bahuang Sect.

Meanwhile, within the Bahuang Sect, inside a Great World, the Bahuang Divine Emperor looked at the gathered Elders of the sect. His tone was calm, but his expression was extremely serious as he said,

“Everyone, the Thousand Sect Tournament is about to begin. Have you prepared everything you need?”

As the Bahuang Divine Emperor finished speaking, the Elders exchanged glances before responding respectfully,

“Sect Master, the Bahuang Divine Realm is ready. Moreover, the number of celestial beasts and divine beasts within it is sufficient for the Thousand Sect Tournament.”

“Sect Master, all the sects under the Bahuang Sect’s command have been contacted. They are already on their way here with their disciples.”

Hearing the Elders’ reports, the Bahuang Divine Emperor nodded with satisfaction.

“Good. You have all done well. The Thousand Sect Tournament is our Bahuang Sect’s means to establish its standing in the surrounding area. There must be no mistakes.”

“Yes, Sect Master!”The Elders responded one after another. After giving them further instructions, the Bahuang Divine Emperor finally allowed the Elders to leave.

Once they had all departed, the Bahuang Divine Emperor’s expression grew extremely grave. His brows furrowed deeply, and he occasionally let out a sound he seemed barely able to suppress, as if enduring unbearable pain.

After a long while, he managed to suppress the agonizing force within himself. His gaze was complicated as he sighed softly and murmured,

“Time is running out. I hope we can find a solution soon.”

With that, the Bahuang Divine Emperor withdrew once again into seclusion, though an indistinct but ominous aura continued to cling to him.
