On Wuzhi Peak, the moment of ascension was about to come again.
But this time, the candidate was not Hong Luan or Li Ruowang, who had already reached the peak of the ascension realm.
Instead, it was Huangfu Baizhi from the Northern Wilderness continent’s Great Yong Dynasty.
This female general, who had once personally helped Ye Yu conquer a kingdom, was finally about to ascend.
The spiritual energy on Wuzhi Peak grew abundant once more.
Huangfu Baizhi strongly felt that within at most five days, she would ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
It was ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a kind of destined summons, growing ever stronger.
If this had been before, Huangfu Baizhi would have been overjoyed—because ascending meant she could be with her husband Ye Yu again, living together without the pain of longing.
But now, Ye Yu was in the mortal world. So what meaning did ascension hold at this moment?
They had finally reunited, only to part again so soon.
That bitterness made Huangfu Baizhi’s heart ache deeply.
The other wives understood the reason but didn’t know how to comfort her.
After all, ascension was no trivial matter; it should not be resisted!
Hong Luan was a clear example.
She used secret arts to forcibly suppress her realm. This allowed her to remain in the mortal world longer, but it had a glaring drawback.
That was—too long!
So long that even after the secret arts were lifted, she could no longer ascend.
This was not good.
As time passed, Huangfu Baizhi grew increasingly restless.
Su Yao, Lan Lianyan, and others stayed by her side, trying to cheer her up.
At that moment, Ye Yu slowly approached.
Not because he was slow, but because he dared not make any sudden moves.
The longer he stayed in the mortal world, the harder it became to suppress the surging immortal power in his body.
Ye Yu really felt he couldn’t hold on much longer, so this plan had to succeed!
He came before Huangfu Baizhi.
Everyone present assumed he was going to say something comforting.
Even Huangfu Baizhi forced a smile, ready to tell him she was fine.
Yet at that moment, Ye Yu said something no one expected.
“Huangfu, help me ascend! When you ascend, bring me with you. I should be able to reach the Heavenly Realm smoothly.”
Hearing this, all the wives froze.
What? He’s leaving now?
Li Ruowang and Hong Luan furrowed their brows deeply.
No way, no way.
They had come to comfort Huangfu Baizhi, but now it suddenly felt like the situation had flipped.
The mermaid Su Yao timidly raised her hand and asked, “Husband, do you think this plan will work?”
Ye Yu nodded heavily.
This plan had been carefully considered and was finally formulated.
In theory, it was absolutely feasible!
When Huangfu Baizhi ascended, the Heavenly Gate would open, and an invisible force would bring her into the Heavenly Realm.
At that time, if Ye Yu held her hand and ascended together, it should be no problem.
Once in the Heavenly Realm, he could freely wield immortal power without fear of rejection or other issues.
It should work!
After Ye Yu explained his thoughts, the wives fell into deep thought.
To be honest, it made some sense! Maybe it really could work!
But this news was not good for them.
Li Ruowang suddenly stood up and walked straight to her bamboo hut, with Hong Luan closely following.
Then the third and fourth wives left in turn.
Watching them leave one by one, Ye Yu felt very strange.
“Hey, why is everyone leaving? No one’s going to comment?”
Originally very worried, Huangfu Baizhi was now in a great mood and said, “No need to comment. I also think this plan is perfect! I’ll try hard to ascend as soon as possible.”
After saying that, she left.
Only Su Yao, Lan Lianyan, and Liang Yu remained.
Ye Yu asked curiously, “Do you understand what’s going on?”
Lan Lianyan nodded.
“Li Ruowang and Hong Luan left because they were originally here to comfort and encourage Sister Huangfu. But now you’re going to ascend with her.
And the plan is very feasible.
That means the comforters have become the ones needing comfort.
And Sister Huangfu is leaving because she no longer has to suppress her realm and can freely release spiritual energy.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu suddenly understood.
Then he curiously asked, “Then why didn’t the three of you leave?”
Su Yao and Lan Lianyan answered in unison, “We want to tell you, husband, we wish you success ascending to the Heavenly Realm. We will also keep striving to attain the Dao and ascend soon.”
Ye Yu’s eyes softened instantly.
Indeed, gentle people were the most likable.
Su Yao and Lan Lianyan were always very gentle, not competitive, and easily persuaded.
When the incubus imprint inside her heart showed a white-cold profile of Bai Miao, Ye Yu casually lied that it was due to the cultivation method.
They believed it without question.
Having you all is truly my fortune!
Soon after, Su Yao and Lan Lianyan left as well.
Only Liang Yu remained.
Ye Yu asked again, “Then why didn’t you leave?”
Liang Yu timidly tapped her fingers and said, “According to the calendar, today is my turn! So I’m not leaving!”
...
Three days later.
Huangfu Baizhi finally reached the moment of ascension.
Once again, anomalies appeared in the heavens and earth above Wuzhi Peak, followed by a sudden beam of light descending.
Huangfu Baizhi held Ye Yu’s hand as they ascended directly into the light.
For safety, Huangfu Baizhi wrapped him entirely in spiritual energy, trying to prevent any abnormalities.
Soon, a summoning force appeared.
Huangfu Baizhi slowly rose into the sky with Ye Yu.
Everything started smoothly, and the two soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
It seemed everything would continue smoothly.
But unexpectedly, just before entering the Heavenly Realm,
an anomaly occurred.
Perhaps sensing the immortal power on Ye Yu rather than just spiritual energy,
an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, completely blocking him below.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Baizhi, caught off guard, instantly entered the Heavenly Realm alone, separating them.
Without her spiritual energy protection,
Ye Yu clearly felt the invisible barrier above was filled with repulsion.
Immediately, heavenly thunder roared, crashing down wildly.
It seemed intent on annihilating Ye Yu, the intruder.
In this situation, he dared not be careless.
As the heavenly thunder grew stronger and stronger,
Ye Yu understood that if he didn’t find a way to break through soon,
he might be worn down and killed here.
So he stopped hiding, condensed all his immortal power,
wrapped himself in the Primordial Profound Skill,
and surged forward at full speed, intending to break through the barrier in one go.
