【At 180 years old, Ye Yu successfully reached the peak of the Ascension realm.】
【During these years, he had been at the Bai family, enjoying a blissful time with Bai Miaoling.】
【Since slaying Situ Shuping, Bai Miaoling had never mentioned the matter of devouring the mortal realm again.】
【She devoted herself wholeheartedly to serving Ye Yu.】
【She perfectly fulfilled her promise, obediently playing the role of a canary.】
【One must admit, Bai Miaoling truly emphasized the principle of keeping one’s word. What she said, she did.】
【As for the demonic treasure, the Nirvana Glazed Robe, it was still worn by Ye Yu.】
【It wasn’t that he didn’t want to return it to Bai Miaoling, but the latter simply didn’t want it back.】
【In Bai Miaoling’s own words, What does a captive canary need with treasures?】
【Moreover, if there is real danger, I’d rather have you come to rescue me than face it alone.】
【This statement left Ye Yu speechless.】
【Bai Miaoling had been so wild back then, and now she was so gentle…As long as he didn’t look for other women, she would most likely remain this way.】
【This left Ye Yu with quite a headache.】
【Sometimes he often pondered how things would be after returning to reality.】
【From the current situation, Li Ruowang had already begun to accept Ye Yu’s other wives.】
【So, what about Bai Miaoling?】
【This issue didn’t trouble Ye Yu for too long. It was quickly cast aside.】
【Worrying about things that hadn’t happened yet, suffering from mental fatigue, and being disturbed by trivial matters were simply not his style.】
【Since he could soften Li Ruowang’s temperament, Bai Miaoling could naturally be handled as well. It just required some methods.】
【They would discuss it when they met again in reality. For now, there was no rush.】
【Over the years, Ye Yu also frequently returned to the Yellow Springs Temple to take a look.】
【He even considered conquering the Chaos Valley and gifting it to his master, Xiao Yinzhang. After all, it was one of the sacred lands of the Northern Desolate Continent.】
【As long as Xiao Yinzhang was willing, he could change the name to Yellow Springs Temple tomorrow. This would also fulfill the ideals he shared with the previous sect master.】
【But unexpectedly, Xiao Yin directly refused.】
【He told Ye Yu that since his good brother, Ma Jintian, had died, he had lost all ambition. He really wasn’t interested in making a name for himself across the continent.】
【At present, he just wanted to manage the Yellow Springs Temple peacefully on the continent’s edge, seeing old friends every day, which was already enough for him. As for anything else, he didn’t want to think about it.】
【Xiao Yinzhang’s reaction surprised Ye Yu a bit, but it wasn’t difficult to understand.】
【With no hope for greatness and heroes in their twilight years, one’s mindset truly grows old.】
【In that case, Ye Yu didn’t push too hard.】
【He could only regularly send some rare herbs, treasures, and elixirs to the Yellow Springs Temple for Xiao Yinzhang and his parents to consume.】
【It must be mentioned here that the parents in this dream were in quite a good state of mind. They clocked in for work every day.】
【With the addition of elixirs and rare herbs, observing their physical condition, living another hundred years would not be a problem.】
【This brought Ye Yu much comfort.】
【As time passed, Ye Yu could clearly feel the sensation of ascension growing stronger. So, he approached Bai Miaoling to discuss this matter.】
【Bai Miaoling’s expression revealed a hint of bitterness. She only held Ye Yu tightly, without saying a word.】
【Noticing something was amiss, Ye Yu felt puzzled.】
【Bai Miaoling was in the late stage of the Ascension realm.】
【If he tried his best to suppress his cultivation, and if she put in a bit more effort, perhaps they could ascend to the Heavenly Realm together.】
【Why was she suddenly feeling so melancholic?】
【After Ye Yu asked, Bai Miaoling slowly said, I cannot ascend to the Heavenly Realm.】
【I am of the demon race. Once I break through to the peak of the Ascension realm, the Heavenly Dao will see me as surpassing the limits of the mortal realm, and I will also ascend.】
【However, the place of ascension will not be the Heavenly Realm, but the Demon Realm.】
【Upon hearing these words, Ye Yu finally understood.】
【It turned out that the place they ascended to was completely different. Race determined the path of ascension.】
【What could they do about this?】
【Ye Yu slightly furrowed his brows. The sudden prospect of separation made him feel extremely uneasy.】
【Bai Miaoling raised her hand to gently smooth Ye Yu’s furrowed brow.】
【She slowly spoke, I’ve thought about this problem long ago. So, during this time, I’ve been searching for a way to enter the Heavenly Realm.】
【Now I already have some leads. I believe that in a little while… we might find a solution.】
【Ye Yu nodded slightly, pulling Bai Miaoling into his embrace.】
【The issue of the demon race entering the Heavenly Realm wasn’t limited to just the dream. Even after returning to reality, they would still need to find a way to resolve it.】
【After all, in reality, Ye Yu was already a great cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.】
【It wouldn’t be long before he stepped into the Ascension realm, and at that time, he would still ascend to the Heavenly Realm.】
【What would happen to Bai Miaoling then?】
【Wouldn’t they end up with one being in the Demon Realm and the other in the Heavenly Realm?】
【That would be a clear case of living worlds apart.】
【Ye Yu had already accepted Bai Miaoling in his heart. Naturally, he didn’t want to separate like that.】
【In the following decades, Ye Yu made every effort to suppress his cultivation. He accompanied Bai Miaoling in search of a way to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.】
【But unfortunately, there were still no results.】
【At 233 years old, Ye Yu finally reached the point of ascension.】
【Though he felt quite reluctant, there was nothing they could do about it.】
【Bai Miaoling watched Ye Yu’s body gradually ascend to the heavens, suppressing the sorrow in her heart, and waved goodbye.】
【Husband, wait for me in the Heavenly Realm. I will definitely think of a way to find you!】
【I promise!】
【Ye Yu took out a delicate wooden box and tossed it to Bai Miaoling below.】
【He softly said, This is something I made with my own hands. I originally wanted to create a pair to give to you, but now there’s no time left.】
【My craftsmanship isn’t great, so don’t think poorly of it. It may be ugly, but it’s ultimately a token of my thoughts.】
【Once you ascend to the Heavenly Realm, I’ll make you another one!】
【Bai Miaoling raised her hand to catch the wooden box, just about to ask what it was.】
【But she saw Ye Yu’s figure suddenly disappear, clearly having completely ascended to the Heavenly Realm.】
【Bai Miaoling felt as if a piece was missing from her heart.】
【Then, she slowly opened the wooden box in her hand.】
【Looking down, she saw a light yellow Bu Yao (hairpin) quietly lying inside the box. Beside it was an empty spot.】
【The craftsmanship really wasn’t refined; it could even be called somewhat crude.】
【Yet, it caused Bai Miaoling’s tears to fall uncontrollably.】
【After a moment, she composed herself and placed the hairpin on her head.】
【Bai Miaoling looked up at the sky. She silently vowed that she would ascend as quickly as possible.】
【As long as she could be with Ye Yu forever, she would not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of all the people in the mortal realm!】
