Heavenly Court Envoy, Ascension Jade Talisman!

"Yuan Ruoyu, ascend immediately!"

Hua Hongyi read the words aloud softly, her eyes brightening with a look of surprise on her face.

This immediately transformed into a look of deep envy!

What did this Immortal Court Decree mean? Was Yuan Ruoyu granted special permission to ascend to the Immortal Realm immediately?

How could such a good thing happen?

She was obsessed with ascension, yearning every moment to ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a carefree, eternal fairy!

After pondering for a moment, Hua Hongyi regained her composure and said:

"However, Yuan Ruoyu's current cultivation is only at the late stage of the Mahayana Realm. Wouldn't it be a bit of a farce to ascend directly?"

"If she really ascends, can she skip the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and become a True Immortal?"

Hua Hongyi was not a fool; after a second thought, she sensed that something was not quite right.

But what Jiang Youlong held in his hand was a genuine Immortal Court Decree!

How could this be?

She could not figure it out for a moment...

Jiang Youlong put away the scroll, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "No need to be surprised!"

"What is the Immortal Court, anyway? It is merely composed of those ascended immortals and Great Emperors!"

Jiang Youlong continued: "Although there is a distinction between immortals and mortals, and the Immortal Court cannot interfere in mortal affairs at will, the Jade Pool Holy Land is, after all, a power with a long heritage, and there are quite a few ancestors who have ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

He spoke eloquently, sharing his speculation:

"Having Yuan Ruoyu ascend immediately at this time is clearly to protect her. Of course, if she doesn't appreciate the favor and insists on seeking death, that would be another outcome entirely."

After hearing this, Hua Hongyi's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "True, once you put it that way, it makes sense."

Zuo Qingtian, who had been silent, suddenly said: "In that case, is the Immortal Court preparing to take action?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air grew a bit quieter.

If the Immortal Court took action, it meant that the Immortal Court was interfering in the affairs of the mortal world.

However, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with this.

Who were they working for right now, if not the Immortal Court?

It was just that the decree Jiang Youlong received did not instruct them to handle it, which meant the Heavenly Court would arrange for others to take action.

They did not need to worry about it for the time being.

Jiang Youlong nodded and smiled: "Just as we expected, we can finally have some peace and quiet for a while."

"Let's go, let's go listen to some music at the brothel!"

"Giggle..."

"I don't have the heart for that right now. I really hope our ancestors of the Hua Clan can work harder and get me a special permit from the Heavenly Court too!"

Hua Hongyi said with immense envy: "To be able to ascend at the Mahayana Realm—this backdoor is opened a bit too wide."

The massive airship sailed above the nine heavens, moving forward slowly.

The beautiful mountains and rivers below flew rapidly backward, and soon, a majestic city appeared in view.

Jiang Youlong laughed heartily: "Let's go, let's go down and take a look!"

"I have to say, ever since the Great Emperor's Diary was exposed, the atmosphere in our Cultivation World has changed significantly!"

"It's no longer fashionable to go into seclusion..."

Hua Hongyi said with a smile: "Indeed. Before, it was one person supporting an entire sect; now, it's one person making a brothel famous!"

"I must say, the Immortal Great Emperor is truly a fascinating person!"

Speaking of this, as if remembering something, Hua Hongyi chuckled a few times and added:

"A few days ago, I heard a very interesting joke."

It was about a brothel.

A disciple from a cultivation family and an old man almost came to blows over a courtesan.

Only afterward did they realize it was a case of family members failing to recognize their own kin!

The old man turned out to be the young man's own ancestor!

"Hahahaha!"

"No way! Wait, you demoness, when did you secretly go to a brothel?"

Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian both smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

Having been running around for these past few days, they really hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.

Hua Hongyi shot them a sidelong glance and continued:

"According to that young man..."

"The ancestors of their family are often in seclusion, to the point that many of the younger generation have never even seen them."

"He never expected that the first time he would meet his own ancestor would be in a brothel, and they nearly came to blows!"

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, the young man revealed his family background; otherwise, I fear he would have been slapped to death!"

This time, after listening, both Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian fell silent.

They exchanged glances, both able to guess what the other was thinking.

"What's wrong? Is it not funny?"

Hua Hongyi frowned, feeling puzzled by their reaction.

"Ahem—"

Jiang Youlong gave a bitter smile and said lightly, "To be honest, don't some of the ancestors in our own families also spend years in seclusion? There are some I haven't even met yet!"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"If I were to run into them outside by accident, I really wouldn't recognize them!"

Hua Hongyi was stunned for a moment; she hadn't considered this issue, but then she laughed again:

"What?"

"Are you afraid you'll run into your ancestors in a brothel too? Don't worry, this is Qing Province; there's no way that would happen!"

Jiang Youlong shook his head slightly; that was certainly not what he was worried about.

He then said, "If I were to spend my old age in constant seclusion, how unbearable would that be?"

Zuo Qingtian replied, "Seclusion is mostly for the sake of breaking through to the next realm; otherwise, as one's lifespan slips away, there will eventually come a day of demise."

Without becoming an immortal, one's lifespan will eventually reach its end!

The lifespan of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm is only about ten thousand years.

A cultivator in the Mahayana realm has about seventy or eighty thousand years.

And a Great Emperor, without ascending, cannot exceed the limit of one hundred thousand years at most!

Therefore, the Gate of the Immortal Realm opens every few thousand years.

It allows those cultivators who have reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm to ascend and head to the Immortal Realm, becoming free and long-lived immortals.

According to ancient records, cultivators in the past had to reach the late stage of Tribulation Transcendence to undergo the heavenly tribulation and become immortals.

However, as time passed, the conditions for becoming an immortal seemed to have relaxed significantly.

The last time the Gate of the Heavenly Realm opened, Great Emperors at the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence were also able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Some speculate that this is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth today is not as dense as it was in ancient times.

Cultivators who can reach the late stage of Tribulation Transcendence are simply too few.

That is why the Heavenly Court allows this practice of ascending first and becoming an immortal later!

How vast is the grace of heaven!

At this moment, Hua Hongyi added, "So, I only hope that those above will see our contributions and open a back door for us as well!"

Jiang Youlong nodded, "Rest assured, they certainly will! As long as we handle the tasks assigned by those above well."

"Otherwise, who would be willing to run errands in the future?"

"Hehe, that makes sense!"

Time flew by, and another few days passed.

During these days, a major event occurred in Qing Province that caused quite a stir.

That was the formation of an alliance between the Xuanqing Sect, the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Primordial Holy Land, several ancient cultivation clans, and the Liyue Immortal Dynasty in Qing Province!

Although everyone knows that such alliances are often just a formality.

Allies are frequently useless when it truly matters.

But this showed that, at the very least, the Xuanqing Sect was currently seen as a party worth winning over in the eyes of the major powers.

With two Great Emperors as their backing, besides having a limitless future, what else could one use to describe them?

This alliance was considered a grand event in Qing Province.

Many sects in Qing Province were invited to the Xuanqing Sect to serve as witnesses.

At the same time, it also carried the intention of establishing prestige!

Yan Changkong wanted to use these events to build up the majesty of the Xuanqing Sect bit by bit!

Jade Pool Holy Land!

Yuan Ruoyu, who was in a secret realm, suddenly felt something and her eyes snapped open.

Immediately, her pupils constricted!

Because at this moment, inside the secret realm, just a few dozen feet away from her, there was actually another person.

That person stood in the void, her skirt fluttering.

Wearing a blank mask, a terrifying aura erupted from within the figure, exuding an extraordinary presence.

Yuan Ruoyu felt a chill in her heart, as if facing a formidable enemy!

She stared fixedly at the person opposite her, her expression incomparably grave.

This was the secret realm of the Jade Pool Holy Land, a place only the Holy Venerable could enter.

Yet now, another person had managed to enter silently without alerting the Holy Land.

This matter truly left her feeling deeply alarmed.

Moreover, the profound and powerful aura radiating from the other party made her afraid to show even the slightest carelessness.

Yuan Ruoyu stood up slightly, a clear radiance rising behind her, within which the manifestation of a lotus flower emerged.

Her aura also climbed steadily, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Yuan Ruoyu said solemnly, "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

However, the only response she received was a deathly silence.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Above the void, from beneath the mask, a faint and ethereal voice finally drifted down:

"By special decree of the Heavenly Court, Yuan Ruoyu is to ascend immediately!"

The masked figure waved a hand casually, and a streak of light flew toward Yuan Ruoyu.

Yuan Ruoyu caught it and took a look; it was a piece of jade slip.

The masked person spoke again, "This is the jade talisman for ascending to the Immortal Realm. With this talisman, you may ascend at once!"
