Chapter 253 - Wu Tianfu's Arrangements (Part One)
Modu. Four Seasons Villa.
The moment Wu Tianfu stepped through the gates, a sumptuously dressed middle-aged woman hurried to his side, her face creased with worry.
"Darling, where did you go? Nothing happened, did it?"
Looking at the woman, Wu Tianfu felt a complex swirl of emotions. After a long moment, he sighed and met her eyes with an earnest gaze.
"Meijuan, I'm leaving."
The woman's name was Lin Meijuan — his first love.
The two had been together since graduating university, and it was Lin Meijuan who had stood by Wu Tianfu's side as he built his empire from nothing, all the way to the present.
If there was anyone Wu Tianfu would miss most upon leaving, it was her.
Hearing that Wu Tianfu was going away, Lin Meijuan felt a wave of inexplicable panic.
"Darling, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the Dao Realm."
Wu Tianfu saw no reason to hide it from her. After so many years as husband and wife, they had long since become irreplaceable parts of each other's lives.
When she learned that Lu Xuanxian had returned and made Wu Tianfu tremendously powerful, and that he was now heading to the Dao Realm, Lin Meijuan's expression relaxed with relief.
"It's fine. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters. Besides, this is a chance to grow stronger. It's not like you're never coming back."
Lin Meijuan gently stroked Wu Tianfu's head, her voice incomparably tender.
But Wu Tianfu shook his head. He took her hand and said with deep affection.
"No, what I'm really asking is — would you be willing to come with me?"
This was Wu Tianfu's true intent all along.
No matter the circumstances, he would never leave Lin Meijuan behind.
Hearing his words, Lin Meijuan paused for just a moment before asking.
"What about the children?"
Wu Tianfu and Lin Meijuan had five children together — three sons and two daughters. All of them were grown adults by now, and Wu Tianfu had already been gradually handing the reins of his commercial empire over to the five of them.
So upon hearing that Wu Tianfu wanted to bring her to the Dao Realm, Lin Meijuan's first thought was naturally of the children.
But Wu Tianfu shook his head.
"I plan to leave the children here on Blue Star. As my children, I want them to reach the Dao Realm on their own merits, one step at a time."
"Of course, I won't leave them empty-handed. I'll call them back shortly and provide them with enough resources to cultivate all the way to Ascension."
Lu Xuanxian had been more than generous with his three godsons, bestowing upon them resources sufficient to cultivate all the way to the Dao Venerable Realm.
And so, when it came to his own sons and daughters, Wu Tianfu would be no less generous.
Lin Meijuan raised no further objections.
The only person she truly cared about was Wu Tianfu. As for the children — so long as they didn't die, she was content.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Wu Corporation in Modu.
A middle-aged man in a tailored suit sat in an opulently decorated office, buried under a mountain of documents.
Were he not a Transcendent himself, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
He was the current president of the Wu Corporation, and Wu Tianfu's eldest son — Wu Changfeng.
Staring at the towering stack of papers, Wu Changfeng felt a headache coming on. He wished he had never agreed to take over this position from his father.
But just then, a voice entered his mind.
"Come home immediately. Your father has matters to discuss with all of you."
The sudden voice left Wu Changfeng frozen in place. It took a long moment before he snapped back to reality.
"Was that... Father's voice? What's going on?"
Wu Changfeng furrowed his brow, but didn't overthink it.
He didn't know how his father had managed to transmit a voice across such a distance, but since his father had called, there was no harm in going home.
Besides, he was getting rather tired of working. A break would be welcome.
And who knew — maybe it was about company business.
On the other side, his second sister, third brother, fourth brother, and youngest sister had all received Wu Tianfu's voice transmission as well.
As for their occupations: the second child was an award-winning actress, the third was a renowned scientist, the fourth served as a high-ranking frontier official, and the youngest was an internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers.
Upon hearing their father's summons, each of them paused in momentary confusion, then set aside their work and headed for Four Seasons Villa.
Wu Tianfu didn't make them travel the whole way, though. The moment he sensed them on the move, he waved his hand and pulled them all straight to the villa from wherever they were across Blue Star.
At the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, accomplishing something like that was effortless.
All five of them stared in shock at finding themselves suddenly home, clearly having no idea what had just happened.
When they noticed their father and mother standing nearby, the eldest, Wu Changfeng, stepped forward, astonishment written across his face.
"Dad, was that your doing?"
"Who else do you think brought you back?"
Wu Tianfu regarded them with a meaningful look.
His matter-of-fact tone only deepened their shock.
They were all burning with curiosity. What had happened to their father? How had he suddenly acquired such incredible power?
Not even an SSS-rank Transcendent could do something like that.
But before they could press further, Wu Tianfu waved them quiet and spoke concisely.
"Your father intends to depart soon, along with your mother, for a higher world. I've called you back to make certain arrangements."
Hearing this, the third son, Wu Changnian, blurted out in disbelief.
"Father, you and Mother are leaving?"
Wu Tianfu's brow twitched. Why did that sound so ominous?
Wu Changfeng promptly delivered a smack to the back of the third son's head.
"Watch your mouth. If you can't say something right, don't say anything at all."
"Dad, please continue." ℯ
"Right. Well, today, your father reunited with a long-lost friend. With his help, I've obtained power far beyond this universe."
Wu Tianfu nodded, then continued.
"As such, your mother and I will soon be heading to the Dao Realm."
"A world that exists above and beyond this universe."
"Before we go, I'll leave you with ample resources — enough to cultivate to the point where you can transcend this world as well."
With that, Wu Tianfu extended his hand. Five orbs of light appeared in his palm.
Each one contained an Immortal Venerable Inheritance.
More than enough to see them through to transcendence. Combined with the fact that all five of them possessed reasonable talent, as long as they didn't court death, they would cultivate smoothly all the way to the Immortal Realm and then make their way to the Dao Realm.
