A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Lin Shuirou’s Keen Sixth Sense, the Great Emperor’s Aura

“Cough, Mother, I’m fine; you can come in.”

Lin Zixin heard Lin Shuirou’s voice and quickly suppressed the absurd thoughts in her mind, sitting at the edge of her bed.

The next moment, Lin Shuirou entered, sat down beside Lin Zixin, and looked at her with gentle eyes, saying,

“Daughter, has the last incident left you with a significant psychological shadow?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zixin was momentarily taken aback but quickly recalled that Lin Shuirou was referring to the time she was chased by the envoy of the Blood Soul Sect. She shook her head and replied in a calm tone,

“Mother, that incident didn’t leave a psychological shadow on me.”

“Then what’s going on with you? Don’t lie to me; your changes during this time have been noticeable throughout the Roushui Holy Land.”

Lin Shuirou looked at Lin Zixin, her eyes filled with concern. After all, her daughter was her precious gem, and she wouldn’t let any harm come to her.

Feeling her mother’s concern, Lin Zixin couldn’t help but smile softly, as if recalling something happy, but soon shook her head seriously and said,

“Mother, I really am fine; I just need some time to process what happened that day. As for any psychological shadow, there really isn’t one.”

Seeing her daughter insist that she was okay, Lin Shuirou decided to set the matter aside for now. Then, as if remembering something, she spoke with a hint of suggestion,

“By the way, daughter, do you remember Lei Jingzhan?”

Hearing Lei Jingzhan’s name, Lin Zixin recalled a little brat she had met when she was young, often brought by her mother to play at Uncle Lei’s house in the Thunderclap Holy Land.

“I remember; what about him?”

“It’s like this: what do you think of this child Jingzhan? If he’s suitable, perhaps you could try getting to know each other.”

Lin Shuirou smiled and then said this. But Lin Zixin suddenly froze in place, and after a long while, she finally opened her mouth to retort.

“Mother, you know that I’m not interested in romantic relationships; I just want to cultivate and lead the Roushui Holy Land to glory.”

However, after saying this, Lin Zixin’s mind inexplicably filled with the face of Wu Yifan, one that was both lovable and infuriating, causing her heart to be in turmoil.

Lin Shuirou, upon hearing this, didn’t press further. She merely mentioned it casually; if her daughter had no thoughts on the matter, she wouldn’t force it. It seemed that the infatuation of that Lei Jingzhan kid would have to end in failure.

“Alright, Mother, it’s time for me to cultivate. You should go out now. By the way, I have a feeling that I’ll likely break through to Quasi-Emperor in the next few days, so please don’t come to disturb me!”

After saying this, Lin Zixin stood up and gently pushed Lin Shuirou out. Lin Shuirou didn’t have time to react, but once she realized her daughter was about to break through to Quasi-Emperor, the excitement on her face was hard to suppress.

It should be noted that her daughter was just over five hundred years old. Breaking through to Quasi-Emperor at that age meant she had potential to reach Great Emperor! Even Lin Shuirou herself had already been ten thousand years old when she broke through to Quasi-Emperor, not to mention that she was now a three-hundred-thousand-year-old old woman, and becoming a Great Emperor still felt far away.

“Ah, I wonder if Zixin can break through to Great Emperor and break the curse of the Xuantian Realm’s inability to ascend to the Emperor level,” Lin Shuirou thought to herself, a hint of melancholy crossing her face; after all, she knew her own chances were gone.

But just as Lin Shuirou was about to leave, she suddenly recalled something, her expression changing dramatically.

“Wait, didn’t my daughter say that if she didn’t eliminate that kid, she wouldn’t be able to break through to Quasi-Emperor? Could it be that kid has already been dealt with? But logically, that shouldn’t be the case.”

“Or is there something happening that I don’t know about?”

Lin Shuirou was feeling extremely frustrated but didn’t dwell on it too much; being able to break through to Quasi-Emperor was ultimately a good thing.

Meanwhile, Lin Zixin wasn’t just saying she was about to break through to Quasi-Emperor merely to appease Lin Shuirou—she truly was ready to break through.

She was already at the peak of Supreme, and after cultivating together with Wu Yifan, it had greatly benefitted her. After all, one was the Mysterious Yin Holy Body and the other was the Ancient Sacred Body—both powerful physiques that complemented each other significantly in dual cultivation.

Shaking her head and casting Wu Yifan out of her thoughts, Lin Zixin began her closed-door meditation to push for her Quasi-Emperor breakthrough.

On the other side, Wu Yifan took a moment to consolidate his strength, refining all of Lin Zixin’s lingering energy within him, thus breaking through to the peak of Supreme, now only half a step away from Quasi-Emperor.

“Next, it’s time to search for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can unlock the ninth layer of the Ancient Sacred Body’s restrictions. I remember I need nine types in total, which include the Quasi-Emperor level Blue Claw Venom Spider’s poison bag, the Thunderstruck Willow Wood that’s a hundred thousand years old, the Scorching Sun Fruit that’s also a hundred thousand years old, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass that’s a hundred thousand years old, the Quasi-Emperor level Moon Shadow Wolf fangs, Yellow Spring Water, and three other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Yang attribute that are at the Supreme level.”

Wu Yifan thought to himself that he already had the three Yang attribute Supreme level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: the Scorching Sun Fruit, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass, and Yellow Spring Water. Currently, he just needed to acquire the Quasi-Emperor level Blue Claw Venom Spider’s poison bag, the Moon Shadow Wolf fangs, and the Thunderstruck Willow Wood.

From Wu Yifan’s understanding, these three items were extremely rare even in the entire Xuantian Realm, as there were very few Quasi-Emperor level powerhouses in the realm, let alone capturing the Quasi-Emperor level Blue Claw Venom Spider and Moon Shadow Wolf.

As for the Thunderstruck Willow Wood, it referred to the wood left behind from a willow tree that survived being struck by lightning after growing for a hundred thousand years, which was also very rare. But if one was willing to pay the price, it could still be procured.

“Ah, forget it, let’s take it one step at a time,” Wu Yifan sighed and then set off to search through the vast Xuantian Realm.

After all, there was still the threat of the Blood Soul Sect, whose representatives had reached the Quasi-Emperor Peak. This indicated that the Blood Soul Sect likely had a true Great Emperor powerhouse stationed within it, and perhaps even more than one.

Although he didn’t know why the Blood Soul Sect hadn’t sent a Great Emperor to invade the Xuantian Realm, Wu Yifan could guess, to some extent, that perhaps the current Blood Soul Sect was restricted and unable to leave God Burial Valley.

Therefore, he needed to become as strong as possible before the Blood Soul Sect emerged to reach a level capable of resisting their powerhouses, especially since he bore the weight of the entire Wu Family on his shoulders.

“Master!”

Seeing Wu Yidao return before him, Wu Shengna stood up, his face filled with joy. Upon sensing Wu Yidao’s cultivation level, his excitement grew even more.

“Yidao, you’ve broken through to the peak of Great Saint?”

“Yeah, I was fortunate enough to gain some insights and break through to the peak of Great Saint,” Wu Yidao nodded, his expression very calm. After receiving guidance from Great Grandfather, Wu Yidao thoroughly understood the principle of keeping a low profile, so he wouldn’t be too ostentatious unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing this, Wu Shengna couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

“Hahaha, my disciple Yidao possesses the aura of a Great Emperor!”

Currently, Wu Yidao, who was still under a hundred years old, had broken through to the peak of Great Saint. At this rate, he would likely break through to Supreme within a thousand years, and within ten thousand years, he would definitely attain Quasi-Emperor. This seemed to indicate that glimpsing the Great Emperor realm was not out of reach.
