The Women Ascend

The day Nan Feng returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, three layers of clouds of different colors floated above Heaven Dou City.

The east side is gold, the west side is cyan, and a strip of crimson runs through the middle.

Shifang craned his neck to look at the fish grill at the city gate, forgetting to flip the fish on the grill.

"Brother Nan, what kind of celestial phenomenon is this? Who's Tribulation Transcendence?"

Nan Feng walked over from the direction of Dragon God Lake, glanced up, and stopped. His Treasure-Appraising Spirit Light flashed upwards, and he stopped.

"Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Huo Wu."

Three?

"Three. The Nine Heart Begonia and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, plus the Heaven-Burning Blazing Sun. All three auras are stuck at the threshold of the God Level, just one step away."

Shifang's hand trembled, and a fish fell into the charcoal fire, splattering oil everywhere.

Nan Feng quickened his pace and walked into the city, taking things out of the Tower Spirit Space as he went.

Three Lights Divine Water, Nine Heart Begonia Petals, and a Branch from the Ancient Tree of Life.

"Go and tell Bibi Dong to keep a close eye on the Ancient Tree of Life in the Tower Spirit Space. We might need it later."

Shifang took off running.

Behind the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Lingling sat in the middle of a sea of Nine Heart Begonia flowers, with a pharmacopoeia open on her lap.

The Nine Heart Immortal Begonia beside her had grown to three zhang tall. Its pink and white petals fell in the wind, and before they hit the ground, they turned into a pale pink mist of light that seeped into her body.

Ye Lingling's expression remained calm as she continued to turn the pages of the pharmacopoeia in her hand. With each page turned, a wisp of immortal essence seeped from between the pages and into her meridians.

Dugu Yan was in the poisonous mist forest north of the academy. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's true form was coiled up around her, with layers of golden poisonous mist surging outwards from its scales.

Dugu Bo stood outside the forest, clutching a medicine bottle in his hand, muttering to himself.

"Yan'er, take it easy. Your grandpa almost exploded when he became Quasi-God, and you're going straight for God Level..."

"Grandpa, please stop making noise!"

Dugu Yan shouted through the poisonous fog, her voice full of energy.

Nan Feng immediately sensed something was wrong with her Treasure-Appraising Spirit Light. Her meridians were on the verge of bursting from the poison, and she was only being held back by the essence of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Huo Wu is the most decisive.

She stood on the temporary training ground of the Blazing Fire Academy in Heaven Dou City, her Blazing Sun Martial Soul burning half the sky red. She was enveloped in golden flames, the flames in her hands condensing into a long spear, which she thrust upwards again and again, causing the clouds above her head to crumble.

The dean of the Blazing Fire Academy next to him was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Huo Wu, slow down! That's not how you become a god!"

"I want it to be this way!"

Huo Wu pierced through the clouds with her spear. The power of the Blazing Sun exploded, and the crimson sky directly overwhelmed the gold and blue hues.

The Nan Feng reached Ye Lingling's side first.

The person in the middle of the sea of flowers remained seated steadily. Nan Feng squatted down and saw that her hands were starting to tremble as she turned the pages of the book. The speed at which the Immortal Tang Essence seeped in was much slower than before.

He pressed his hand onto the soil at the edge of the flower field, channeling his Immortal Power into it.

The Nine Heart Immortal Begonia swayed slightly, and the light and mist on its petals intensified threefold.

"Ye Lingling."

"Um."

"After you become a god, will the Nine Heart Begonia be able to heal itself?"

Ye Lingling turned a page of her book, a slight smile curving her lips.

"It's incurable."

"Then don't force yourself. Tell me if you can't hold on any longer."

Ye Lingling raised her eyes. There was something new in those clear eyes. She looked at him for three breaths before speaking.

"Nan Feng, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. The Nine Heart Begonia has healed so many people; today, I want to heal myself."

She closed the pharmacopoeia, placed it on her lap, and folded her hands over the cover.

The Nine Heart Immortal Begonia rose from the ground. Thousands of petals burst open at the same time, and a pinkish-white mist enveloped the entire back mountain. In the center of the mist Ye Lingling stood up, her Bai Li tinged with pale pink by the mist.

The Soul Ring rose from her feet, stacking upwards in concentric circles. When the ninth ring was stacked, the entire Soul Ring shattered into points of light and merged into her body.

The golden cloud in the sky sank down and fell into her body.

Nan Feng sensed that her Soul Power had broken through the threshold of the God Level. The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul underwent a qualitative change at the moment of breakthrough, and cyan-gold Immortal Mark emerged on the petals, following the same path as the Ancient Tree of Life.

It's done.

Ye Lingling opened her eyes and reached out her hand to him.

"I can heal you now."

Nan Feng smiled and pulled her out of the sea of flowers.

"I'm not hurt."

What about after that?

We'll talk about it later.

Ye Lingling's eyes crinkled into a smile as she turned to look north. The poisonous fog was about to burst the forest, and her expression changed.

"Something's not right with Dugu Yan. I'll go check it out."

She took a step and floated away amidst the floral mist. Her speed was so fast that even Nan Feng couldn't react.

Dugu Yan is indeed wrong.

Thirty percent of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's scales cracked, and the poisonous mist thickened to a liquefied state, dripping down. Dugu Bo's face turned pale.

When Nan Feng arrived, Ye Lingling had already placed her hand on Dugu Yan's back. The healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia was channeled into her meridians, but the accumulated poison in her meridians was too thick; as soon as one layer was cleared, another surged up.

"We need to get rid of the excess toxins," Nan Feng said.

Dugu Bo panicked.

"Where should we dump it? The poison is so concentrated, if we dump it on the ground, we could turn half of Heaven Dou City into a poisonous swamp!"

Dugu Yan opened one eye in the poisonous fog.

"Put it on my grandfather. His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor can withstand it."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth.

"I--"

"Can you handle it?" Dugu Yan glared at him.

Dugu Bo slammed the medicine bottle on the ground.

"I'll take it! I've taken drugs my whole life, what's one more?"

He rolled up his sleeves, and the essence of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor surged into the poisonous mist. The poison surged through his body in waves.

The old man's face turned from white to green, then from green to red, but he stubbornly stood still without backing down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Lingling cleaned the remaining poison from Dugu Yan's meridians. Dugu Yan's Soul Power crashed against the threshold of the God Level, and the entire Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor transformed into a golden light and merged into her body.

A field of green flowers with golden edges bloomed in the poisonous fog forest.

Dugu Yan emerged from the poisonous fog, her body radiating golden light, clutching a handful of green flowers, which she handed to Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa, here."

Dugu Bo took the flowers and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

You're better than your dad.

Huo Wu was the last to be completed, and it caused the most commotion.

Without waiting for help, she burned her Blazing Sun Martial Soul to its limit. The golden flames changed from crimson to golden yellow, then to platinum. In the end, only one color remained in the sky above Heaven Dou City.

White.

Huo Wu emerged from the white flames, her entire body engulfed in platinum flames, and the flaming spear in her hand materialized, with divine runes emanating from its shaft.

I've become a god!

She nearly smashed through the training ground when she landed. Nan Feng placed the phantom of the tower underneath her to catch her.

Huo Wu slammed her spear into the ground.

"Nan Feng! Can I fight you now?"

Nan Feng glanced at her.

"Yes, but first you need to put out the fire at the academy."

Huo Wu turned her head to look.

The temporary training ground of the Blazing Fire Academy had burned down, and the dean was squatting in the ashes, stroking his beard.

Huo Wu grinned, grabbed her gun, and ran over to put out the fire.

That very night, news spread from the Star Dou Great Forest: Bi Ji had become a god.

The Emerald Swan circled the lake deep in the forest, its turquoise feathers illuminating half the sky. When the Nan Feng arrived, Bi Ji was standing on the lake, transformed into human form, her entire body radiating turquoise light.

"I've repaid the favor I owed you for that leaf back then."

"No need to pay it back," Nan Feng said. "You're my friend."

Bi Ji smiled and shook her head, not replying.

Zi JI was created on the second day.

The giant dragon in the Dragon Clan Secret Realm roared to the sky. Zi JI transformed into human form and walked out of the Secret Realm. Her dragon scales changed from purple-gold to cyan-gold, and her aura of a Dragon Emperor was unstoppable.

"I am now the Azure-Gold Dragon King."

Nan Feng glanced at her.

"He's even stronger than when we last met."

Zi JI snorted.

"Of course."

He paused, then added another sentence.

"I'll treat you to drinks next time."

Ice Empress and Snow Empress were formed at the same time.

On the day the two suns shone brightly in the Far North, Nan Feng was building a new medicinal herb garden for Ye Lingling in Heaven Dou City. Upon receiving the news, he rushed over overnight.

The Ice Empress's Ice Jade Immortal Scorpion transformed into the Ice Jade Immortal Scorpion Emperor, and the Snow Empress's Ice Heaven Immortal Snow transformed into the Ice Heaven Immortal Snow Empress. The two stood side by side at the summit of the Far North.

Ice Empress snorted when they saw him arrive.

"You're so slow."

Nan Feng walked up to them.

"Congratulations."

Ice Empress turned their head away.

"Who needs your congratulations?"

Her hand, however, grasped Snow Empress's sleeve.

Snow Empress looked at Nan Feng and said, "Thank you."

On the day Liu Erlong became a god, the roar of the Scarlet Dragon resounded throughout Heaven Dou City.

She transformed into a crimson-gold dragon at the tavern entrance and Yunxiao into the sky, then reverted to human form and stood at the entrance. The golden dragon scales shimmered in the sunlight, blinding everyone on the street.

"I've become a goddess!"

Nan Feng walked over from the street corner and handed over a jar of wine.

Liu Erlong took it, broke the mud seal, and took a sip.

"This toast is to myself. Finally, I wasn't let Yu Xiaogang ruin my life."

"A toast to you." Nan Feng raised the wine bowl in his hand.

Hu Liena secretly became pregnant in a small tavern.

There were no extraordinary phenomena. It was just that one morning she pushed open the tavern door, her whole body bathed in soft golden light.

When Nan Feng arrived, she was already wiping glasses behind the bar. Seeing him come in, she poured him a glass of wine and pushed it towards him.

"The Boss Lady's Special Brew - God Level Edition"

Nan Feng took a sip.

"Good."

Hu Liena smiled.

From now on, this tavern will only be open to you.

When Zhu Zhuqing became a god, even Nan Feng didn't sense it.

She appeared behind Nan Feng without revealing her presence. Her Netherworld Immortal Shadow flickered nine times between reality and illusion before finally settling on a fixed point.

Nan Feng turned to look at her.

"You've become a god."

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"If you ever want to find me, just call out to me."

Ah Yin is a god who was resurrected and cultivated anew.

On the day the entire Blue Silver Grass turned golden, Tang San and Xiao Wu stood on the edge of the grassland. Ah Yin emerged from the golden light and looked at them.

"Little San, you've grown up."

Tang San's eyes reddened. Xiao Wu stood beside him, holding his hand.

The day Xiao Wu became a god, Tang San stood beside her.

The Asura Jade Rabbit transformed into the Asura Immortal Rabbit and emerged from the golden light. Xiao Wu looked into Tang San's eyes.

"Third Brother, I've become a god."

"I know."

Do you regret not becoming a god?

Tang San shook his head.

"No regrets. I'm happier than anything else that you've become a god."

Xiao Wu threw herself into his arms. As Tang San held her, the old burn mark on the back of his hand faded in the golden light.

His Soul Power was leaking out even faster than before. Nan Feng, who was standing nearby, saw this clearly but remained silent.

Bibi Dong was the last to be formed.

After cultivating in the Tower Spirit Space for several years, the Space-Time Spider Emperor and the Mountain Suppressing Spider Emperor simultaneously shone brightly. Silver-white and cyan-gold halos intertwined around her.

She stepped out of the Tower Spirit Space, stood in front of Nan Feng, and looked at her own hands.

"I've become a god."

"Congratulations."

Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, then extended her hand.

This time, she didn't grab the hem of her clothes, but directly took Nan Feng's hand.

"Thank you."

Nan Feng grasped her hand in return.

"You're welcome."

That night, Nan Feng stood at the window on the ninth floor of the Pagoda God Temple.

Outside the window, the starlight was mixed with various divine lights. On her left wrist, the old hair ribbon woven by Xiao Wu and the fairy vine hair ribbon woven by Bibi Dong swayed side by side.

The Old Huai peeked its head out from the sacred wood.

"You've become more than a dozen gods. Your role as a celestial master is even more exciting than that of God King."

Nan Feng chuckled.

"A lively atmosphere is good. It means people are all there."

He turned and walked into the hall. Shifang called out from the doorway.

"Brother Nan, the fish are grilled! I grilled sixteen today, one for each of you ladies!"
