Chapter 1110: Chapter 609: The Meaning of Ascension (Double Chapter)

"I now understand why the teacher was so tense before." Xu Chang’an sighed, his fingers gently rubbing the Glazed Jade at his waist. "This Senior can achieve such feats, perhaps... they’re not far from Ascension."

Xu Chang’an had no idea that Ascension was no longer possible. He had previously witnessed Celestial Tribulation and thought that overcoming Tribulation Thunder would lead to Ascension.

But this idea wasn’t certain.

Otherwise, if he firmly believed that people today could ascend, perhaps they truly could.

Yun Qian: "...?"

Her husband was thinking about Ascension, while she was thinking about the brazier.

It seemed something was off.

Regarding the same matter, when Ah Qing influenced the flow of time from the outside, Yun Qian’s first reaction was that Xu Chang’an repeatedly told her to light the brazier when it got cold.

However, Xu Chang’an’s thoughts were related to Ascension...

Ascension?

What did that have to do with this?

For a moment, Yun Qian’s eyelashes trembled lightly.

As a wife, if she couldn’t keep up with her husband’s thoughts, she was undoubtedly inadequate.

Moreover, she could never grasp everything related to her husband. Whether it was a big event or a minor matter, she could only rely on her not-so-sharp mind to understand his meaning with her limited strength.

Miss Yun wanted to be a competent, qualified wife.

She couldn’t fall behind in his train of thought.

What is Ascension?

Below the stage, Ah Qing was dancing, but this time Yun Qian didn’t watch her much because this dance was for Shi Qingjun.

"Ascension... what is that?" Yun Qian asked.

"Ascension..." Xu Chang’an paused, surprised, glancing at Yun Qian, "Miss, surely you know what Ascension means; why do you ask me?"

When Yun Qian was still in Beisang City, he had explained the meaning of Cultivation to her more than once, and when it came to Cultivation, Celestial Tribulation and Ascension were inevitable topics.

Besides, he remembered every word Yun Qian had said. On the night they were boating, Yun Qian had asked him if there would be danger during the tribulation if they ascended to the Immortal Realm.

So how could Yun Qian possibly not know what Ascension was?

"Do I know?" Yun Qian tilted her head, thought carefully for a while, then naturally said, pressing her fingers against her temple, "Because it was not important, I forgot."

The girl’s memory was always bad. Even though she could recall every detail of the various snacks Xu Chang’an made with his own hands, she would soon forget about things like Ascension.

It was impossible to expect the girl to always remember matters unrelated to him.

"..." Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly, then said, "In other words, the ultimate goal of Cultivation..."

Afterward, Xu Chang’an briefly explained the significance of Ascension to Yun Qian.

Even though Miss Yun seemed to remember that the ultimate goal of Cultivation was supposedly immortality, she still listened intently, nodding slowly after a long while.

She roughly understood.

Ascension is the road of sublimation, approaching the Frosty Heaven.

"Immortals..." Xu Chang’an grasped the Glazed Jade at his waist, expressing his emotions: "I never thought... the Senior who gave me the Jade Pendant was such an immortal-like person."

In fact, he had no idea what it meant for Shi Qingjun to be able to accomplish such a thing, but Xu Chang’an, after working at the Steward Hall for so long, was somewhat aware of Zhu Tongjun’s prowess. Among the top tier in Chaoyun Sect, Li Zhibai, his teacher, was undoubtedly superior to Zhu Pingniang.

Now, these two women were completely overpowered without any resistance, at least proving the previous tension of his teacher was justified.

The Senior who gave him the Jade Pendant must be an Elder-level woman in the sect?

If so, her age... must be unfathomable. Thinking of Shi Qingjun’s appearance, Xu Chang’an glanced at Miss Yun again.

Cultivation... can maintain one’s appearance.

Just this one point makes Cultivation quite necessary.

Cough.

Xu Chang’an coughed lightly.

How rude.

That is a Senior, so how could he silently criticize her regarding age? It was somewhat disrespectful and ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Xu Chang’an’s gratitude toward Shi Qingjun increased even more, considering a woman with such abilities would instead warn him not to reveal his secrets after seeing him use Spiritual Qi to block the rain, rather than satisfy her curiosity.

Such thoughtfulness for younger generations made it difficult for him not to have a favorable impression of Shi Qingjun.

"Miss, what do you think... If even someone like this Senior couldn’t become an Immortal, then... what would an Immortal in this world look like?" Xu Chang’an’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation: "It must be... an unimaginable power."

The books say.

When I ascend, mountains and rivers obey.

When I ascend, all beings bow their heads.

When I ascend, heaven and earth celebrate together.

Xu Chang’an murmured, "I wonder what it would feel like to be born in the same era as an Immortal, the scene where the heavens and earth cheer... what would it look like."

It turns out that even the vast heavens and earth would celebrate for one person.

It turns out that humans need not be humble.

Yun Qian: "..."

Ah.

The Immortals and Immortal Realm imagined by her husband, both had long been completely shattered; there was no longer any Ascension.

The girl slowly lowered her eyelids, her gaze rare and drifting with a few traces.

It has nothing to do with Miss Guan Yun, oh.

Moreover...

Yun Qian was well aware of Xu Chang’an’s duties. If it hadn’t been for her being dragged over by the system this time... in her husband’s eyes, Ascenders were just like fish leaping up, only to be slapped back into the water by the paddle.
