"Yuan Ruoyu, Ascend immediately!"

Hua Hongyi softly recited, her eyes brightening and a look of surprise appearing on her face.

Immediately, it turned into a strong expression of envy!

What does this decree from the Immortal Court mean? Yuan Ruoyu has been granted permission to Ascend to the Immortal Realm immediately?

Is this really happening?

She is a fan of Ascension, always yearning to enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal fairy who lives carefree forever!

After a moment of contemplation, Hua Hongyi regained her senses and said,

"But, Yuan Ruoyu's cultivation level is only at the late stage of the Mahayana realm. Ascending directly would be a bit of a joke, wouldn't it?"

"If she really Ascends, can she surpass the Transcending Tribulation stage and become a True Immortal?"

Hua Hongyi is not a foolish person. Upon further thought, she realized that something seemed off.

But the decree in Jiang Youlong's hands is indeed a genuine decree from the Immortal Court!

How could this be?

She couldn't figure it out for a moment...

Jiang Youlong rolled up the scroll, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, saying,

"No need to be surprised!"

"What is the Immortal Court? It's just a group of Ascended immortals and Great Emperors!"

Jiang Youlong continued, "Although there is a distinction between immortals and mortals, the Immortal Court cannot interfere in mortal affairs at will. However, the Jade Pool Holy Land is an ancient and influential force. There are also many ancestors of the Ascension Immortal Realm!"

He confidently spoke out his speculation:

"At this moment, allowing Yuan Ruoyu to Ascend immediately is obviously to protect her. Of course, if she doesn't appreciate it and insists on seeking death, then it will be a different outcome."

After hearing this, Hua Hongyi's eyes lit up and she smiled, saying, "Yes, listening to your explanation, it makes sense."

Suddenly, the usually silent Zuo Qingtian spoke, "So, the Immortal Court is preparing to take action?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air immediately quieted down.

If the Immortal Court takes action, it means that they are intervening in mortal affairs.

But they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

They are currently working for whom? Isn't it for the Immortal Court?

However, the decree Jiang Youlong received did not require them to take action, which means that the Heavenly Court will arrange for others to intervene.

They don't need to worry about it for now.

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 to the pavilion and listen to music!

"Hahaha..."

"I don't have the mood for that now. I really hope that our family's ancestor can work harder and give me a special permission from the Heavenly Court!"

Hua Hongyi said with great envy, "To be able to Ascend at the Mahayana stage, this backdoor is quite big."

A huge ship sailed in the sky, slowly moving forward.

The beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers below quickly flew backwards, and soon a magnificent city appeared.

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

"I have to say, ever since the Immortal Emperor's diary was exposed, there has been a great change in the atmosphere of our cultivation world!"

"Now it's not popular to seclude oneself..."

Hua Hongyi smiled and said, "Yes, before, one person supported a sect, and now one person is igniting a brothel!"

"I have to say, the Immortal Great Emperor is truly a clever person!"

Speaking of this, Hua Hongyi thought of something and chuckled a few times, saying,

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

It happened in a brothel.

A disciple of a cultivation family almost fought with an old man over a courtesan.

Only later did they realize that the old man was the ancestor of the young man's family!

"Hahaha!"

"No way, wait, Flower Demoness, when did you secretly go to a brothel?"

Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian both smiled knowingly.

These days, they have been running around, and it has been a long time since they have been so relaxed.

Hua Hongyi glanced at them and continued,

"According to that young man..."

"Their family's ancestor often secludes himself, to the point that many younger generations in the clan have never seen him."

"He didn't expect that the first time he would see his own ancestor would be in a brothel, and they almost fought!"

"Fortunately, at a critical moment, the young man revealed his family background, otherwise he might have been slapped to death!"

This time, after hearing Jiang Youlong and Zuo Qingtian, they fell silent.

They looked at each other and could guess each other's thoughts.

"What's wrong? Isn't it funny?"

Frowning, Hua Hongyi voiced her doubts upon seeing their reactions.

"Cough..."

Jiang Youlong forced a smile and said lightly, "To be honest, some of the ancestors in our family also seclude themselves for long periods of time. There are some I haven't even seen!"

"If we were to meet unexpectedly outside, I wouldn't recognize you at all!"

Hua Hongyi was momentarily stunned. She hadn't thought about this question before, but then she smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Are you afraid of running into our ancestors in the brothel? Don't worry, we're in Qingzhou, so it's unlikely to happen!"

Jiang Youlong shook his head lightly. That wasn't what he was worried about.

He continued, "If I were to grow old and spend my days in seclusion, it would be very difficult to endure."

Zuo Qingtian replied, "Seclusion is mostly for breaking through to the next realm. Otherwise, as our lifespan diminishes, we will eventually perish."

Not becoming an immortal means that one's lifespan will eventually come to an end!

The lifespan of a cultivator in the Soul Formation stage is only about ten thousand years.

For a cultivator in the Mahayana realm, it is around seventy to eighty thousand years.

And for a Great Emperor, without Ascension, their lifespan would not exceed a maximum of one hundred thousand years!

Therefore, the gate to the immortal realm opens every few thousand years.

It allows those cultivators who have reached the Transcending Tribulation stage to ascend to the immortal realm and become immortal beings.

According to ancient records, cultivators had to reach the later stage of the Transcending Tribulation to transcend the heavenly tribulation and become immortals.

But as time passed, it seems that the conditions for becoming an immortal have relaxed.

During the last opening of the heavenly gate, even a Great Emperor in the early stage of the Transcending Tribulation could ascend to the immortal realm.

Some speculate that this is because the spiritual energy of the world is not as abundant as it was in ancient times.

There are very few cultivators who have reached the later stage of the Transcending Tribulation.

That's why the Heavenly Court allows this behavior of ascending first and becoming an immortal later!

Such heavenly grace!

At this moment, Hua Hongyi said again, "So, I just hope that they can see our contributions and give us a backdoor entrance!"

Jiang Youlong nodded, "Don't worry, they definitely will! As long as we do well in the tasks assigned to us."

"Otherwise, who would still be a runner in the future?"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

------

Time flew by, and a few more days passed.

During these days, a major event occurred in Qingzhou, causing quite a stir.

The Xuanqing Sect, the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning, and several ancient cultivation clans formed an alliance!

Although everyone knows that alliances are often just a formality.

Allies often prove useless in critical moments.

But this indicates that at least the Xuanqing Sect is worth wooing in the eyes of major forces.

With two Great Emperors as their backing, their future is limitless. How else can they describe it?

This alliance is a major event in Qingzhou.

Many sects in Qingzhou were invited to the Xuanqing Sect to witness it.

At the same time, it also had a certain meaning of establishing authority!

Yan Changkong wanted to gradually establish the prestige of the Xuanqing Sect through these events!

------

Jade Pool Holy Land!

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

Immediately, her gaze contracted!

Because at this moment, in the secret realm, just dozens of yards away from her, there was actually another person.

That person stood in the void, with their dress fluttering.

Wearing a blank mask on their face, a terrifying aura erupted from their body, extraordinary in demeanor.

Yuan Ruoyu felt a sense of danger, as if facing a formidable enemy!

She stared fixedly at the person in front of her, her face extremely serious.

This is the secret realm of the Jade Pool Holy Land, a place only the Saint Sovereign can enter.

But now there is another person who can silently enter here without alerting the holy land.

This fact truly shocked her.

Moreover, the profound and powerful aura emanating from the person also made her not dare to be careless.

Yuan Ruoyu stood up slightly, and a clear radiance rose behind her, with a lotus flower appearing in the radiance.

Her aura also soared, shaking the heavens and earth!

Yuan Ruoyu said solemnly, "I've been waiting for you!"

However, the response she received was a dead silence.

She didn't know how long had passed.

Above the void, under the mask, a faint voice came:

"By the special permission of the Heavenly Court, Yuan Ruoyu, Ascend immediately!"

The person with the mask waved their hand, and a stream of light flew towards Yuan Ruoyu.

Yuan Ruoyu caught it and looked at it. It was a piece of jade slip.

The person with the mask said again, "This is the jade token for Ascension to the immortal realm. With this token, you can Ascend immediately!"
