89: Quasi-Immortal Emperor

Wu Shaoyu's eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness.

As the son of an Immortal Emperor, his status in the clan was naturally extremely high, and even many Immortal Kings treated him with utmost respect.

Wu Shaoyu knew that all of this was due to the title of “Emperor Son”!

It wasn't him that others revered, but his father.

Being the son of an Immortal Emperor was both an honor and a pressure unimaginable to outsiders; since birth, he had lived under his father's halo.

The heavy pressure made him feel suffocated.

Wu Shaoyu was unwilling to live his entire life in his father's “shadow,” so he cultivated desperately, using all his strength to prove himself.

He, Wu Shaoyu, was not just the son of an Immortal Emperor!

He wanted to become a Dao Child, gain everyone's recognition, and also receive support from the clan.

In this way, he believed that one day he would be able to surpass his father!

“You, ah, you just have too strong a desire to win.”

Wu Yu shook his head helplessly, not trying to dissuade him.

The position of Dao Child was not so easy to contend for.

The so-called participation open to all clan members under three thousand years old was merely a formality, to demonstrate fairness and give every clan member a chance.

The real key lay in the trial of the Asked Heart Forest!

Only by passing the trial of the Asked Heart Forest could one truly be a Dao Child!

Otherwise, even if one defeated other competitors, one would not be able to ascend to the position of Dao Child.

And passing the trial of the Asked Heart Forest was not so easy; the clan had an endless stream of Prodigies, yet the position of Dao Child often remained vacant for hundreds or thousands of years.

The difficulty involved was self-evident.

And now, that Little One in the clan had been internally designated as the Dao Child.

Clearly.

Those old fellows in the clan thought highly of him, believing he had the potential to pass the Asked Heart Forest trial.

“There are still two hundred years until the Dao Child competition begins, and I can break through to the True Immortal Realm Middle Stage in at most another hundred years!”

“Brother Yu, even if I can't become the Dao Child in the end, I still want to go see the Asked Heart Forest, otherwise I might regret it for a lifetime!”

A hint of determination appeared in Wu Shaoyu's eyes.

“Sigh, as you wish.”

Wu Yu sighed helplessly.

…

Chaoyun Immortal Palace, Morning Cloud Heart Hall.

Looking at the table full of delicacies and Immortal banquets, Wu Ning couldn't help but feel his appetite stirred.

Although there were no Dragon Liver or Phoenix Marrow.

There were Immortal fish and Immortal birds, rare mountain and wild treasures, served on sparkling white jade Immortal plates, looking mouth-watering.

Immortals were also people, not just subsisting on wind and dew; they simply ate very little.

Moreover, in super- power like the Wu Clan.

Eating was not merely to satisfy one's appetite, but also a form of Cultivation.

Because all the food was made from Immortal medicine, Immortal Rank Heaven And Earth Treasure, and various top-grade ingredients; simply enjoying one Immortal banquet could be worth at least ten years of Cultivation!

“Wu Ning, come sit down.”

Murong Yin beckoned to him, “Xue Yuan, you sit too.”

“Chicken soup is here.”

Wu Tianyun walked out carrying a huge white jade bowl, filled with pale golden Golden Feather Chicken Soup, emitting an enticing aroma.

Golden Feather Immortal Chicken, an Immortal bird with Phoenix Bloodline.

Within the Wu Clan, there were people specifically responsible for raising these Immortal birds, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

However, very few Golden Feather Immortal Chickens reached the Immortal Rank level.

The one Wu Tianyun was carrying was a True Immortal Realm Golden Feather Immortal Chicken; he had gone to great lengths to welcome his son.

“Wu Ning, eat more.”

“Come, try this Green Scaled Fish; your mother made it for you herself.”

Murong Yin continuously piled dishes into Wu Ning's bowl, which quickly overflowed.

Wu Ning smiled; he hadn't felt such an atmosphere in a long time.

Wu Tianyun took out a jar of treasured Immortal brew and drank with him, also casually bringing up the matter of the Dao Child competition.

“…Son, you must not be careless about this matter.”

“Going to the Asked Heart Forest to undergo the trial is also a great Opportunity.”

“This Asked Heart Forest was set up by an ancient ancestor of our clan, and its trial can only be passed by those with the potential to Breakthrough beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm.”

“At the same time, there are many great Opportunities during the trial process,”

“There were several would-be Dao Children who failed the trial but eventually cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm by virtue of the Opportunities they gained in the Asked Heart Forest!”

Wu Ning's eyes lit up.

Asked Heart Forest!

It sounded like an excellent place to sign in!

“Father, is the Asked Heart Forest trial very difficult?”

Wu Tianyun nodded slightly, “That's exactly what I wanted to tell you.”

“I'm not worried about your strength, talent, or Comprehension Ability.”

“But the Asked Heart Forest trial also involves ethereal things like Luck, destiny, and Karma.”

“So you absolutely cannot be careless!”

Wu Ning nodded slightly, not taking it too seriously.

If even he, a cheater, couldn't pass the trial, then who else in this world could?

With the System by his side, his Luck certainly wouldn't be bad.

However, he still had to wait more than two hundred years.

The time was a bit long…

By then, he might have already Broken Through beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm.

…

“Wu Ning, you just returned to the clan today, so rest well for two days first, then I will take you to visit your grandfather.”

“Also, there are some other clan elders.”

“Then, after some time, your uncle's birthday will be coming up, and we'll visit your mother's side of the family at the Murong Emperor Clan.”

Wu Ning nodded, “Your son will follow Father's arrangements.”

After the Immortal banquet, Wu Ning returned to the Violet Palace.

He rested for a short while, then set up several Restrictions to prevent his Qi from leaking out or being disturbed.

Afterward, he took out a drop of Immortal Grade Chaos Source Liquid.

He swallowed it without hesitation.

A single drop of Immortal Grade Chaos Source Liquid could directly increase an Immortal Emperor expert's Cultivation by ten thousand years; the Immortal power contained within it seemed boundless, truly terrifying.

Wu Ning's aura began to surge rapidly.

In less than a hundred breaths, he broke through a minor barrier, reaching the Immortal King Peak.

After another half an hour, he had advanced to the Immortal King Perfection Realm!

But a large portion of the energy from that drop of Immortal Grade Chaos Source Liquid still remained unabsorbed.

Wu Ning's aura continued to rise, but the rate of increase slowed considerably, as if encountering an invisible barrier.

Time quickly passed for a day.

Wu Ning's aura had grown to its limit.

It could be called the Perfection Extreme Realm!

Just then, that invisible barrier shattered with a bang.

His aura then surged significantly, seemingly entering a new world.

After a long while.

Wu Ning slowly opened his eyes, his gaze incredibly deep, as if containing a boundless starry sky.

“I've Broken Through, but it seems I haven't completely Broken Through…”

Wu Ning carefully assessed his current Cultivation Realm.

His Cultivation had surpassed the Immortal King Realm, entering a new world.

However, his life level was still considered that of an Immortal King; only in terms of Immortal power Cultivation had he forcefully Broken Through the Extreme Realm.

This Realm could be called Quasi Immortal Emperor!
