102: Return to Wu Clan

Prince Jun Mu left in a huff.

The atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat cold.

Murong Chen waved his hand and said, "Let him go, don't mind him. Let the immortal music play, and everyone continue drinking."

The melodious sound of the zither rang out again.

Many people looked at the calm Wu Tianyun with surprise and uncertainty, thinking to themselves: The Wu Clan has probably produced a Prodigy!

To have such Cultivation at over ten thousand years old was simply unheard of.

This Young Lord of the Wu Clan usually kept a low profile, but unexpectedly, his strength was so formidable.

In the side hall next to them.

Murong Haoyu widened his eyes in disbelief, "Cousin, your father is already an Immortal King?"

"Yes."

Wu Ning nodded slightly, "He just Breakthrough not long ago. Due to some special opportunities, his strength might be a little stronger than an ordinary Immortal King."

"…"

Murong Haoyu was speechless with sorrow.

He had recently found an opportunity to Breakthrough to Immortal King and was confident of Breakthrough within a hundred years, at which point he would be an Immortal King over fifty thousand years old.

Such a young Immortal King was extremely rare among all super forces.

This inevitably made him feel a hint of arrogance.

But now, he had actually seen an Immortal King who was only over ten thousand years old!

The arrogance in his heart instantly vanished.

"How did my little uncle Cultivate? His talent didn't seem higher than mine before?"

Murong Haoyu mumbled, then suddenly stood up abruptly, "No, I need to go into seclusion right now!"

"I swear not to come out until I Breakthrough to Immortal King!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even have time to greet Wu Ning before his figure disappeared.

Wu Ning shook his head with a smile and drank alone.

His uncle's birthday celebration was almost coming to an end.

Two days later.

People from various major forces who came to celebrate the birthday had already left one after another. Many things happened at this birthday banquet, and they had no desire to stay longer in the Murong Emperor Clan.

However, Wu Ning's family did not leave.

The old couple, eager to see their daughter, had not seen her for decades and wanted Wu Ning's family to stay in Murong for a year or half before leaving.

A year or half was not long for them, so there was no reason to refuse.

Xianyang Palace.

In a study hall.

Murong Chen looked at a crystalline jade box and fell into contemplation, "This thing… does it look like the legendary bodhi seed?"

The bodhi seed was a legendary Emperor-grade immortal medicine, capable of removing Heart Demons, enhancing Comprehension Ability, and helping people comprehend the Great Dao. He had only seen it in ancient texts of his clan.

It was said that bodhi trees existed in other Great Worlds of the myriad heavens, and the Taichu Ancient Realm only had a sapling of a bodhi tree once owned by the Tianyan Dao Sect, but it was destroyed before it could grow.

He gazed at the crystalline, jade-green bodhi seed in the jade box, which contained extremely vast energy and emanated a profound Dao charm. Just looking at it brought peace to one's mind, making it extraordinarily mystical.

A moment later, he called Wu Tianyun over.

"Brother-in-law, where did you get this bodhi seed?"

Murong Chen placed the jade box in front of him, his eyes filled with some doubt.

How could this young man be so generous with something as precious as a bodhi seed?

Wu Tianyun glanced at it and said with a smile, "Big brother, this is Wu Ning's birthday gift for you. He asked me to give it to you."

"Wu Ning's gift?"

Murong Chen became even more puzzled. Wu Ning had only just returned to the Wu Clan, where would he get such a precious item?

He frowned, "Take this back. How can I, a senior, accept something from a junior? Ordinary gifts are fine, but how can I accept such a precious bodhi seed!"

Wu Tianyun smiled and said, "Big brother, this is Wu Ning's intention. Please accept it. Wu Ning probably doesn't lack these."

"No!"

Murong Chen said resolutely, "The bodhi seed is different from ordinary Emperor medicines; it can improve Comprehension Ability and make Wu Ning's future path much smoother. I cannot accept it."

Wu Tianyun thought for a moment and said, "Then how about this: I'll call Wu Ning over, and you can tell him yourself."

Soon.

Wu Ning arrived at the study hall.

"Uncle, please accept this bodhi seed. I have quite a few more here. If you don't believe me, look…"

Wu Ning directly pulled out a handful of bodhi seeds, emitting a crystalline green light, about seven or eight of them.

He had an Immortal-grade Bodhi Dao Tree with three thousand bodhi seeds on it, all of which were mature.

Giving one to his uncle didn't hurt him at all.

Of course, Wu Ning didn't intend to give too many. The first bodhi seed consumed had the best effect, which should be enough to help his uncle Breakthrough to the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm.

When the second one was consumed, the effect would be greatly reduced.

He had personally tested all of these.

Therefore, he did not give Murong Haoyu a bodhi seed to help him Breakthrough to Immortal King, intending to give it to him later when he advanced to Quasi Immortal Emperor.

Murong Chen stared at the handful of bodhi seeds in Wu Ning's hand, momentarily stunned.

When did bodhi seeds become something taken out by the handful?

"Wu Ning, you…"

He wanted to ask Wu Ning where he got so many bodhi seeds, but he swallowed his words before they came out.

The preciousness of the bodhi seed was self-evident, and it likely involved some secret that he shouldn't inquire about.

Wu Ning smiled and said, "Uncle, this bodhi seed should allow you to break through the extreme realm and advance further. If it weren't enough, Wu Ning has more here."

"Enough, enough!"

Murong Chen quickly waved his hand, a hint of fervor rising in his heart.

He had reached the Immortal King's extreme realm many years ago, and was still extremely far from attaining the Immortal Emperor Dao, but he still had some confidence in taking another step to Breakthrough to the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm.

With the help of this bodhi seed, he had at least ninety percent confidence in Breakthrough!

Murong Chen no longer refused, looking at Wu Ning with gentle eyes, and said, "Wu Ning, then uncle won't be polite with you. This bodhi seed is indeed of great use to me."

Wu Ning smiled, "Uncle, Wu Ning congratulates you in advance on entering the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm."

Murong Chen laughed heartily, "If uncle can Breakthrough, Wu Ning, you will be the greatest contributor!"

He stepped forward and patted Wu Ning's shoulder, "Uncle will remember this kindness in my heart. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. Uncle will back you up!"

"Uncle, we are family, there's no need to say such formal words."

"Haha, well said!"

Soon after, Murong Chen also eagerly went into seclusion.

Wu Ning spent his days with his parents, chatting and drinking tea with his grandparents.

Or occasionally accompanying his little Cousin to wander around the Murong Emperor Clan, getting to know the younger generation of the Murong Emperor Clan, and signing in at some special places.

His remaining annual sign-in attempts were quickly used up, and at the same time, he accumulated another twenty million years of sign-in Cultivation.

Time flew by, and soon more than half a year passed.

Murong Chen and Murong Haoyu, father and son, were still in seclusion.

On this day, Wu Ning's family prepared to return to the Wu Clan.

Murong Bo was worried that the Thousand Leaves Emperor Clan would send people to intercept and kill them. For safety's sake, he directly used the clan's ancient teleportation array to send them to the center of the Wu Ji Immortal Domain, into the Star Domain near the Wu Clan Secret Realm.
