205: Chapter 204 Taiqing Holy Land
Ten days later, the flying ship had pierced through the clouds, and Taiqing Holy Land was suddenly in sight.
The continuous mountain range lay like a coiled Dragon; amidst the swirling mists, pavilions and towers were faintly visible.
Waterfalls cascaded down from thousand-foot cliffs, filling the air with mist that formed rainbows under the refraction of the sunlight.
Flocks of spirit cranes flew across the horizon, celestial music lingered, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost condensed into a physical substance.
"It's so beautiful here!" Palace Master Mosha stood before the flying ship's window, her eyes sparkling.
She was now a mother of two, with another one in her belly, yet her figure remained alluring, exuding the charm of a mature woman from head to toe.
As time passed and things changed, looking back, she felt quite sentimental.
Back then, she was the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, who shook the East Sea; now, she had become a member of Xiao Ye's harem, not only a mother to several children but also, with Xiao Ye's help, had achieved a Breakthrough to Earth Immortal.
Xiao Ye was never stingy with his consorts.
spirit ascension pills were provided in abundance, as were Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques.
Under his diligent cultivation, the cultivation base of each of his concubines advanced by leaps and bounds.
Zhang Waner was already at the third level of Soul Transformation, Liu Qianqian at the fifth level of Soul Transformation, Bai Susu at the fourth level of Soul Transformation, and even Li Linglong, who least liked to Cultivate, had stumbled her way to the first level of Soul Transformation.
"Husband, did you bring us here to let us experience the atmosphere of Ascension in advance and learn from it, so it will be easier to Ascend in the future?" Bunny Baby asked with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.
She was now a Cultivator at the Perfection of Void Refinement; although Ascension was still far off, she had already begun to look forward to it.
Xiao Ye leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: "Of course not, I just brought you here to broaden your horizons."
The women were puzzled and looked at him one after another.
"With me here, your Ascension will be effortless." Xiao Ye picked up his teacup and took a sip, his tone casual, as if he were talking about the weather today.
"Really??" Palace Master Mosha raised an eyebrow.
"Of course. I've inquired about it; as long as we occupy an Ascension Gate in the Immortal Realm, once your cultivation base is sufficient, Ascension will be effortless." Xiao Ye put down his teacup and said with a smile, "I have the System, Medicinal Pills, Divine Artifacts, and the demon refining pot; I have plenty of ways to help you Breakthrough to Earth Immortal. I support you not to let you suffer, but to let you enjoy life."
The women looked at each other, and Bunny Baby couldn't help but ask: "Then how will you occupy an Ascension Gate?"
Xiao Ye smiled mysteriously: "I have my own ways. Just wait for my good news in the Lower Realm!"
Although the women were curious, they knew Xiao Ye's temperament; if he didn't want to say something, asking wouldn't get it out of him.
Palace Master Mosha rolled her eyes: "So mysterious, you must have gotten some strange thing from somewhere again."
Xiao Ye laughed aloud and did not deny it.
The flying ship slowly descended, and the Disciples of Taiqing Holy Land lined up to welcome them, with a grand display.
Xiao Ye led dozens of consorts off the flying ship. A-Diao squatted on his shoulder, let out a "chirp," and spat out a string of sparks, as if greeting those Taiqing Disciples.
The Disciples looked at the dark, dense crowd of Xiao Ye's harem, their mouths twitching, silently sighing in their hearts: Is this Emperor Xiao here to attend the ceremony, or to show off?
An Elder of Taiqing Holy Land came up to greet them, his face full of smiles: "Emperor Xiao, your presence brings light to our humble abode. Please forgive us for not welcoming you sooner; it is a great honor."
Xiao Ye cupped his hands in return: "You are too kind. I am just here to watch the excitement and learn a thing or two, so I can be mentally prepared for my own Ascension later."
The Elder hurriedly led the way, bringing Xiao Ye and his party to the viewing platform.
The viewing platform was set on the highest peak of Taiqing Holy Land, overlooking everything with a wide view. The platform was already filled with Cultivators from the Five Regions, and representatives from major forces were gathered together, making it incredibly lively.
Xiao Ye's appearance caused a commotion.
"Is that Emperor Xiao? Is that the Emperor Xiao who fought one against two and beat the Black Dragon King and the Blood Demon until they had no power to fight back?"
"I heard he is only just over a hundred years old and is already an Earth Immortal! What kind of Prodigy talent is this?"
"That's not all; he has over a hundred consorts and has already fathered several hundred children."
"Now that is a winner in life!"
The discussions rose and fell, but Xiao Ye turned a deaf ear to them, taking his consorts to sit in the very front row of the viewing platform.
He scanned his surroundings and discovered that the six great Holy Lands of the Central Region had all sent representatives, and even the Lei Family had come—though the people from the Lei Family didn't look very good when they saw him, lowering their heads and pretending not to see him.
Xiao Ye didn't care, picking up his teacup and waiting for the Ascension ceremony to begin.
Not long after, the Old Ancestor of Taiqing Holy Land appeared on the high platform.
He wore a white Daoist robe, had crane-like hair and a youthful face, possessed a celestial aura, and his whole body exuded the thick aura of the Early Stage of Earth Immortal.
His gaze swept over the crowd below, finally landing on Xiao Ye, nodding slightly with a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Ye also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
The old Daoist took a deep breath, stepped out, and his figure rose from the ground, shooting straight into the clouds.
High above, he stopped his figure, formed seals with his hands, unleashed all his spiritual power, and purple clouds came from the east, with dazzling celestial light.
The sky above cracked open a huge fissure, and golden celestial light poured down, enveloping his entire person within it.
"Everyone, I shall take my leave first!" The old Daoist laughed heartily and stepped into the Immortal Gate.
The Immortal Gate slowly closed, the golden light dissipated, and the sky returned to calm.
The crowd below cheered in unison, and thunderous applause erupted. Xiao Ye also clapped his hands, but in his heart, he was thinking: This old Daoist's posture for Ascension was quite cool; when he Ascends in the future, it must be even cooler. At the very least, let the whole world see that when Emperor Xiao Ascends, the display must be the grandest.
"Husband, are you thinking about your future Ascension?" Palace Master Mosha leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Ye put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "I am thinking that after I Ascend, I must take you all up with me. I can't leave you in the Lower Realm; what if you get carried off by other men?"
Palace Master Mosha rolled her eyes: "Who could carry us off? We've all been spoiled by you, and our standards are very high."
Xiao Ye laughed aloud and kissed her on the cheek: "That's good."
In the distance, the people from the Lei Family watched this scene, their faces turning even darker.
Their Lei Family still had an unsettled grudge with Xiao Ye.
The sun set in the west, and the Ascension ceremony ended.
