A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 68

Watching Wu Mengdie’s departing figure, Wu Hao retracted his gaze and spoke after a long silence. “Calamity Physique.”

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Su Qiaoran couldn’t help but gasp. She knew full well what a Calamity Physique was. Unlike the Ancient Sacred Body or the Chaos Physique, which were extraordinarily powerful, the Calamity Physique resembled a form of torment, a curse.

Anyone with a Calamity Physique would be plagued by misfortunes from the moment they were born, facing relentless suffering. Those who sought to get close to a Calamity Physique inevitably encountered unfortunate events. This was also the reason why every family that took in Wu Tuidie ultimately perished.

Most importantly, while those who were close to a Calamity Physique would suffer misfortune, the person with the Calamity Physique themselves would not sustain any harm, or more precisely, they would not die. There had once been a Quasi-Emperor who attempted to harm a person with a Calamity Physique and was subsequently killed by a piece of debris that fell from the sky, said to be a fragment of an Immortal Artifact that had fallen from the Upper Realm.

Moreover, a Calamity Physique could not cultivate; they lacked a Spiritual Root. Even if one tried to generate a Spiritual Root through postnatal methods, it would prove impossible. Only Wu Hao’s System was powerful enough to allow Wu Mengdie’s body to accommodate a Spiritual Root.

“Husband, will harboring a Calamity Physique have any effects on you?” Su Qiaoran asked with a worried look at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao merely shook his head, his tone full of confidence. “Don’t worry; it’s just a Calamity Physique, it can’t affect me.”

This wasn’t mere bravado. No matter how powerful a Calamity Physique was, could it possibly surpass the System? Furthermore, the impact of a Calamity Physique would mainly affect the weaker individuals nearby.

For someone like Wu Hao, who was at the Golden Immortal stage, just a step away from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a breakthrough would allow him to transcend the three realms and step outside the five elements. From that moment on, he wouldn’t be affected by the flow of time and space, let alone the influence of a Calamity Physique. Unless, of course, Wu Mengdie’s Calamity Physique reached the level of being able to trigger a World-Destroying Calamity.

Meanwhile, after leaving Wu Hao, Wu Mengdie didn’t hesitate for a moment. She found the enemy forces that had once sheltered her and, without a word, brought her palm down, directly annihilating everyone in that entire faction. Although many of them had not been involved in the plan, in Wu Mengdie’s eyes, the moment they joined that faction, they had already become complicit, and thus there was no talk of innocence.

In just half a day, Wu Mengdie had annihilated fifteen factions, achieving the accomplishment of killing a hundred thousand people. After eliminating all her enemies, Wu Mengdie felt no emotional stir; she did not derive any pleasure from it, as this was simply what she was supposed to do—she had merely done it.

After all this, Wu Mengdie did not rush back to Wu Hao’s side. Instead, she went to the ruins of the fifteen families and, facing a specific direction, bowed three times before getting up and leaving.

“Master!” Wu Hao nodded upon seeing Wu Mengdie return.

“Is everything taken care of?”

“All done.”

“From today onwards, you are one of the Wu Family. Go ahead, do what you are supposed to do.”

With a wave of his hand, Wu Hao made it clear, and Wu Mengdie understood his intent, immediately turning to leave. Next, she would seek out ninety-nine suitable individuals to recruit for herself, and then return to Wu Hao’s side. With Wu Hao’s help, she would break through to become a Great Emperor and become the sword of the Wu Family.

“Wife, let’s go back. As for what comes next, let her handle it,” Wu Hao said. After he spoke, Su Qiaoran nodded, and the two set off in the direction of the Wu Family.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after a period of exploration, Wu Li finally understood the purpose of the Saint Master Bottle in his hand. “I didn’t expect this treasure could produce a certain amount of elixir to promote the growth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. With this, I won’t lack for resources needed for cultivation starting today.”

Wu Li watched as a ten-year-old spiritual herb in his hand surged in growth after just a drop of the elixir, transforming into a hundred-year-old herb in under a minute. It should be noted that ten years could be considered a Yellow-Rank Heavenly Material or Treasure, a hundred years a Profound-Rank, a thousand years an Earth-Rank, ten thousand years a Heaven-Rank, a hundred thousand years a Supreme, and five hundred thousand years an Emperor-level Heavenly Material or Treasure.

In the current Xuantian Realm, let alone Emperor-level Heavenly Materials and Treasures, even Supreme-level ones were extremely rare. Yet with the help of the treasure in his hand, Wu Li was confident that he could break through to the Saint Realm or even the Supreme Realm in a short time, and he might even catch a glimpse of the Great Emperor Realm.

Meanwhile, in the Roushui Holy Land, Lin Shuirou gathered all the Elders of the Holy Land and asked, “Everyone, what do you think is going on with the Holy Maiden?”

Hearing Lin Shuirou’s question, the Elders exchanged glances, and the Great Elder stepped forward, curious to inquire.

“Holy Lord, what has happened?”

“It’s nothing, I just feel that the Holy Maiden has been acting a bit strange lately.”

Lin Shuirou frowned slightly, as if she didn’t know what was going on, and spoke.

Only then did the Elders understand the reason Lin Shuirou had gathered them. One of them, who had some knowledge of Lin Zixin’s recent behavior, also formed a guess in his heart. However, that guess was somewhat absurd, so he didn’t voice it.

“Holy Lord, regarding the Holy Maiden’s situation? Perhaps she is still immersed in the fear of being chased by the Demonic Cultivator the other day. After all, she is still young, and it was her first time being so close to death; it’s perfectly normal for her to be afraid.”

The Second Elder stepped forward and said seriously.

Hearing this, Lin Shuirou nodded. Although she thought it wasn’t quite this way, at the moment there seemed to be no other explanation besides this one. After all, her daughter couldn’t possibly have developed feelings for someone, could she?

Speaking of her daughter’s potential love interest, Lin Shuirou’s heart suddenly had a suitable candidate in mind. It seemed she needed to talk to her daughter about it later.

Meanwhile, Lin Zixin was lying on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with hollow eyes. After a long while, she sighed.

For some reason, she had originally planned to forget Wu Yifan and what had happened that day. However, ever since returning to the Holy Land, she dreamt about Wu Yifan every night. The most embarrassing moments were when, in her dreams, they were together in intimate situations, and she was the one taking the initiative.

“Ah, Lin Zixin, what are you doing? You are the Holy Maiden of the Roushui Holy Land, destined to lead the entire Roushui Holy Land to greatness. Why must you sink into depravity?”

Lin Zixin muttered furiously to herself, covering her face with a pillow.

Just then, a gentle knock sounded at the door, followed by Lin Shuirou’s voice.

“Sweetheart, are you available? Mother has something to discuss with you.”
