A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 83

“Is this matter for real?”

At this moment in the Green Lotus Holy Land, Li Taibai had gathered the Elders of the Green Lotus Holy Land.

Upon hearing Li Taibai’s words, one Elder stepped forward with utmost respect and performed a bow, saying, “Holy Lord, after multiple verifications, it has been confirmed that this matter is indeed true.”

Hearing this, Li Taibai sighed and muttered to himself, “This makes things difficult.”

After the Four Great Holy Lords returned to their respective Holy Lands, they tacitly chose not to discuss the fact that they had been defeated by Wu Hao with just a single strike, despite their combined efforts. After all, if word got out that the Four Great Holy Lords together couldn’t withstand a single strike from Wu Hao, how could they continue to operate in the Xuantian Realm?

However, they didn’t expect that Lin Shuirou would silently send her daughter to the Wu Family. They were well aware of Lin Zixin’s potential, and without a doubt, she was a Great Emperor Seed.

Yet, it was also the case that without taking risks, one couldn’t reap rewards. Although Lin Zixin was a Great Emperor Seed, Wu Hao was a genuine Great Emperor. If they could get Wu Hao to become the support for their Roushui Holy Land, it would be a significant advantage for them.

“This is troublesome. Perhaps we should also have the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of our Green Lotus Holy Land try to get acquainted with someone from the Wu Family?”

Li Taibai sighed, then turned to the Elders present and said, “The marriage of the Holy Maiden of Roushui Holy Land is extremely important to them, and since we have a good relationship with Roushui Holy Land, we naturally should send congratulatory gifts. At that time, I will personally bring gifts to their Holy Land.”

“Yes, Holy Lord!”

Meanwhile, in the Thunderclap Holy Land, Lei Wanyun also sighed and made a similar decision. They were all aware of the Wu Family’s strength, and aside from fostering good relations with Roushui Holy Land, it seemed they had no other option.

Just as Lei Wanyun left the Holy Temple, a figure hurriedly approached him, looking incredulous.

“Dad, please tell me this isn’t true. This matter is false, right?”

Seeing his son Lei Jingzhan in front of him, Lei Wanyun helplessly sighed before speaking in a gentle yet brutally honest tone.

“Son, accept it; this matter is true.”

“No, I refuse to accept it! Zixin and I are in love, why should we be separated?”

Hearing his son’s words, Lei Wanyun let out a helpless sigh.

“Earlier, I had urged you to take the initiative, yet you were incredibly reserved and seemed unwilling to pursue Lin Zixin. Now, she is getting married; you should give up hope.”

“No, I absolutely refuse to accept this! I will confront that guy and duel him; Zixin should also like me.”

After saying this, Lei Jingzhan turned to head south to find Wu Yifan for a one-on-one battle. However, just as he turned around, Lei Wanyun suddenly intervened, capturing Lei Jingzhan.

Seeing his father’s actions, Lei Jingzhan’s expression was one of disbelief; he clearly had not expected that his father, who typically treated him with affection, would act against him.

Lei Wanyun’s expression was filled with helplessness as he spoke earnestly.

“Son, stop! You aren’t a match for Wu Yifan, and we Thunderclap Holy Land cannot go against the Wu Family. What you can do now is to wish Lin Zixin well.”

“No, I won’t accept this outcome. I like Lin Zixin so much; she must be forced into marrying him! I will not allow this to happen. Father, I beg you to let me go!”

Lei Jingzhan’s face was full of pleading, but it was clear that Lei Wanyun would not risk the entire Thunderclap Holy Land just to offend the Wu Family.

With a resolute expression, Lei Jingzhan turned to the Elder nearby and said,

“Take the Holy Son away; don’t let him leave Thunderclap Holy Land.”

“Yes, Holy Lord!”

Soon, an Elder came to take Lei Jingzhan away. Watching his son struggle, Lei Wanyun silently thought,

I’m sorry, son; please forgive me.

On the other side, after receiving the Thunderstruck Willow Wood that was over a hundred thousand years old, Wu Yifan began his closed-door cultivation, adeptly refining the treasure liquid and quickly merging everything he needed.

Looking at the treasure liquid emanating terrifying energy, Wu Yifan took a deep breath and resolutely jumped in.

The moment he entered the treasure liquid, Wu Yifan felt an incredibly terrifying power circulating within his body, ruthlessly damaging him and then reorganizing him.

The pain caused Wu Yifan to grit his teeth, continuously motivating himself in his heart.

“Keep it up, Wu Yifan! You are destined to become the strongest in the Wu Family and the man who will lead the entire family to the top. How can you fall here?”

With this belief in mind, the ninth layer of the Ancient Sacred Body’s restriction within Wu Yifan slowly began to unravel, while on the other hand, Wu Hao’s physical body was rapidly becoming stronger.

“At this rate, it seems my physical cultivation might break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal before my realm does,” Wu Hao thought to himself. With the System’s concealment, he didn’t worry about his presence being detected. Meanwhile, as Wu Yifan began to break through the ninth layer of the Ancient Sacred Body, Wu Hao also set up restrictions to prevent Wu Yifan’s aura from leaking out.

After all, the Blood Soul Sect still lurked nearby, and he naturally needed to keep a few trump cards up his sleeve for Wu Yifan.

At the same time, Wu Yidao in Sky Martial Mountain learned about his cousin’s upcoming marriage and hesitated whether or not to return to see it. But he quickly shook his head; after all, the path of immortality is long, and he would have other opportunities to meet.

What was most important for him now was to break through to Saint King and participate in the Four Saints Competition five years later.

Wu Li was in a similar situation. With the help of the Saint Master Bottle, Wu Li’s rate of breakthroughs recently surged. After joining Free and Unfettered Peak, he advanced from Golden Core stage to Divine Transformation stage in just over a decade. Although his speed didn’t compare with some prodigies, it was already quite impressive among ordinary cultivators.

Wu Li: “Mom and Dad, I won’t be going back for my cousin’s wedding; please count my gift as well.”

Wu Yidao: “Same here.”

And just like that, time quietly passed, swiftly arriving six days later, as Wu Yifan’s push against the ninth layer of the Ancient Sacred Body’s restriction reached a crucial moment.
