For cultivators, talent is more important than effort.
This is a universally recognized fact.
But above talent, there is also fate!
A good opportunity can help someone grow to an incredible level.
Such people are often envied and called the children of destiny.
Wei Aoshu was one such person.
At first, her talent was only considered above average; otherwise, Zhu Diezhen wouldn’t have assigned her as a spy within Qingyun Sect,
Nor would she have been noticed by the Law Enforcement Hall elders and taken as a direct disciple.
But above-average talent was just that — above average.
Long ago, Zhu Diezhen had once predicted that with hard work, Wei Aoshu might become a Great Dao cultivator,
But that was her ceiling; beyond that, it would depend on fate.
Wei Aoshu was content with this.
So she quietly performed her duties as a spy within Qingyun Sect.
Then, she met Ye Yu.
A series of events unfolded.
All the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall believed that she and Ye Yu were childhood sweethearts.
As for Saintess Yun Roumu, she was merely a latecomer.
Wei Aoshu always insisted it was a misunderstanding.
She and Ye Yu were only senior and junior disciples.
But people cared more about what they saw than what they heard.
Even Zhang Lai and Li Nian’an from the Law Enforcement Hall hinted to Wei Aoshu many times that some happiness must be fought for.
Saintesses were human too, and could fail.
Honestly, whenever this happened, Wei Aoshu felt helpless.
Why would no one listen to her explanation?
She really had nothing with her junior brother, nor would she compete with the Saintess.
And the real enemy wasn’t Yun Roumu, but her direct superior, Zhu Diezhen.
Truth be told, Wei Aoshu did like Ye Yu, but she hid that deeply and never showed it.
Because she clearly knew
This junior brother, once falsely accused in the outer sect, was destined to be no ordinary person.
Later, just as she guessed,
In only a few years, Ye Yu soared up from Foundation Establishment to Ascension Realm.
And the number of wives around Ye Yu grew until, at last, reaching peak Great Dao Realm was just the beginning.
In this situation, Wei Aoshu felt increasingly distant from Ye Yu.
But even so,
She did not feel too sad.
She even thought just watching Ye Yu from afar was enough.
Later, Ye Yu ascended openly within Qingyun Sect, breaking the precedent that no one ascended in the mortal realm.
That day, Wei Aoshu was also at Five Fingers Peak,
Though at the foot of the mountain, still watching from afar as always and blessing Ye Yu.
From that moment,
Wei Aoshu understood she and Ye Yu would be forever separated as mortal and immortal.
Because she clearly knew, even after a thousand or ten thousand years,
She could never ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
This was reality—cruel and helpless.
After Ye Yu’s ascension, Wei Aoshu felt emptiness in her heart.
She thought to travel and clear her mind, forcing herself to accept Ye Yu’s absence.
But unexpectedly, when she reached the border between Central Continent and Southern Barbarian Continent,
She accidentally entered a secret realm.
This realm was the burial site of an ancient peak Ascension Realm formation master.
Within this secret realm, Wei Aoshu obtained a legacy.
But she did not leave; instead, she chose to cultivate there.
The reason was simple: the realm’s formation altered time rules—
One year inside equaled one day outside.
It was by this that Wei Aoshu managed to surpass the other wives at Five Fingers Peak,
Successfully ascending openly to the Heavenly Realm.
It had to be said, those fated with destiny progressed along a completely different path than ordinary people.
As the saying goes, “Born with immortality, no need to read the books.”
Upon arriving at this cultivator’s dreamland,
Wei Aoshu was very happy.
She never dreamed she could really ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
This meant she could see Ye Yu again.
Filled with joy, Wei Aoshu did not linger but immediately began searching.
However, the title “child of destiny” was not given lightly.
Only two hours passed
Before Wei Aoshu encountered Zhu Diezhen, and subsequently came to the Wu Wei Tower.
Everything went smoothly.
So smoothly, Wei Aoshu even began imagining
That perhaps in the future she could °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° take a step forward with Ye Yu,
No longer only watching from afar as in the mortal world.
But imagination is beautiful; reality is always cruel.
Ye Yu’s behavior made sensitive Wei Aoshu very sad.
Perhaps this junior brother did not want her presence in the Heavenly Realm.
Inside the room,
Wei Aoshu felt saddened thinking this.
Confusion and helplessness welled up.
At that moment, Ye Yu’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Senior Sister Wei, have you rested?”
Hearing this,
Wei Aoshu trembled and looked up at the door in disbelief.
How could junior brother come here?
This question didn’t trouble Wei Aoshu.
She hurried forward, opened the door, and looking at Ye Yu outside, quickly said, “No, I haven’t rested.”
Nervous, Wei Aoshu was somewhat incoherent.
In fact, if other immortals heard their conversation,
They would surely think these two were pure lunatics.
What joke was this? Already immortals, how could they still talk about resting?
Did they think “a thousand years pass in a snap” was a joke?
Ye Yu, as a Blue Star native, couldn’t yet shake off the habit of resting, which was understandable.
But Senior Sister Wei really shouldn’t be like that.
Ye Yu didn’t think too much, cupping his hands and saying, “I was tangled in trivial matters just now, thinking over some things. I haven’t yet congratulated Senior Sister Wei on ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Please don’t mind this belated greeting.”
“To be frank, gaining an ancient legacy, Senior Sister Wei truly is blessed.”
Obviously, Ye Yu had heard of Wei Aoshu’s extraordinary experience from Zhu Diezhen, so it was no surprise he mentioned it.
“Mm, thank you.”
A smile appeared on Wei Aoshu’s face, clearing the shadows from her heart.
So junior brother was thinking, not displeased by her arrival—good, good.
However, after speaking, both were stuck awkwardly.
One stood outside the door, one inside.
Neither spoke, just staring at each other.
Honestly, this wasn’t Ye Yu’s fault.
He was trying hard to offer congratulations, but Senior Sister Wei only replied with thanks, then stopped.
She blocked the door and wouldn’t let him in.
This was really difficult.
In this situation, Ye Yu thought maybe Senior Sister Wei was tired and didn’t want to talk more.
So he said, “Alright then, nothing else. Senior Sister, you go ahead, and when you’re free in a few days, I’ll come visit.”
“No!”
Seeing Ye Yu about to leave, Wei Aoshu quickly called out to stop him, then felt awkward.
She slightly turned aside and whispered, “I’m not busy now. It’s very convenient.”
Neither noticed that not far away, someone was silently watching everything.
