【This was the first time Ye Yu had cultivated to such a realm in the dream.】

【Naturally, he was quite excited.】

【However, the one he was most reluctant to part with was Empress Huangfu Baizhi.】

【In fact, Huangfu Baizhi had long anticipated that such a day would come.】

【So after their marriage, she had been continuously working hard to cultivate, hoping that one day she could ascend to the Heavenly Realm with Ye Yu.】

【To be a pair of celestial lovers that others would envy.】

【But Huangfu Baizhi never expected that this day would come so quickly.】

【She was still in the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, while Ye Yu had already reached the peak of the Ascension Realm.】

【This meant that Ye Yu would leave before her.】

【Huangfu Baizhi could also sense Ye Yu’s reluctance, and she felt the same way.】

【But she did not want to be a hindrance to Ye Yu’s advancement.】

【So she proactively reassured him, telling him not to suppress his cultivation and to go ahead and see the Heavenly Realm first.】

【It wouldn’t be long before she would also ascend and they could be together again.】

【With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?】

【Ye Yu was deeply moved.】

【Three days later.】

【As Ye Yu spent the last bit of spirit stones, the path to ascension officially opened.】

【At that moment, a celestial phenomenon occurred, with cranes flying and heavenly sounds resounding.】

【A golden light enveloped him.】

【Ye Yu looked at Huangfu Baizhi with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.】

【The same is true for the latter. Her tightly clasped hands clearly showed her excitement and reluctance.】

【Soon, Ye Yu felt his body rapidly ascending.】

【The surrounding scenery turned into a vast white blur.】

【Nothing could be seen.】

【Ascending to the Heavenly Realm had always been the long-cherished wish of all cultivators.】

【Ye Yu was no exception.】

【Now, this wish was fulfilled.】

【It also proved that not all wives were Ye Yu’s nemeses. They did not obstruct one’s path to ascension.】

【It seemed that next time in a dream, there was no need to become a monk.】

【Ye Yu was very excited.】

【Not knowing how much time had passed, the ascending speed suddenly stopped.】

【Ye Yu immediately stabilized himself and looked around.】

【He discovered that the scenery here was extremely beautiful.】

【Countless heavenly islands floated in mid-air, with colorful auspicious clouds drifting.】

【Before Ye Yu could take in much of the view, he suddenly felt a bright light ahead.】

【Then it abruptly grew larger.】

【Damn it! It’s a damn sword Qi!】

In an instant.

The dreamscape shattered.

And Ye Yu abruptly awoke from the dream.

Breathing heavily, he gasped for fresh air.

This was really infuriating.

He had just ascended to the Heavenly Realm, and hadn’t even had a chance to see anything.

And then he was struck down by a sword Qi!

What kind of nonsense was this!

【This dream experience concludes.】

【Age at time of death: 273 years.】

【Dream evaluation: Excellent+.】

【Randomly gained two dream life abilities.】

【1. Cultivation at the Peak Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty-three.】

【2. 8385 high-grade spirit stones!】

【For achieving Excellent+ and above in dream evaluation, one thing will be materialized as a reward.】

【Materialized item: Storage ring of the Great Liao Empress.】

Upon hearing the system’s voice, Ye Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.

Eight thousand three hundred eighty-five high-grade spirit stones.

This number was extremely familiar to him.

During the most prosperous period of the Great Yong Dynasty, aside from the sacred lands, all sects on the Northern Desolate Continent had to pay tribute to Ye Yu in spirit stones.

And the annual amount was exactly eight thousand three hundred eighty-five high-grade spirit stones.

The key point was that these were high-grade spirit stones.

Converted to low-grade spirit stones, that was over eight hundred thousand.

With such a massive amount of spirit stones, Ye Yu could definitely be called the richest person on the Central Continent.

No, he could be said to be the richest person across all five continents.

As for the storage ring of the Great Liao Empress?

What could be inside?

Huh, over the years, Ye Yu had received so many storage rings from emperors of various countries. He had long forgotten what was inside them.

Subsequently, he searched around for a while, but did not find any storage rings.

So he immediately speculated.

It must have appeared with Huangfu Baizhi.

That was fine.

It could be a keepsake for the Empress.

He hoped that when she ascended to the Heavenly Realm in the future, she wouldn’t be too sad upon hearing of his death.

Ye Yu shook his head slightly.

Then he began to introspect his own body.

After reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, he found that the anime-version Ye Yu inside him had grown much larger.

His body had also become much more solid.

Moreover, this time, two items had appeared behind the anime-version Ye Yu.

One was a miniature of a Soul Summoning Banner.

The other was an ancient-looking magic sword.

They were positioned one on each side behind Ye Yu, looking incredibly powerful.

As if sensing Ye Yu’s gaze, the anime-version Ye Yu also looked up.

It was quite magical.

Just as Ye Yu was preparing to study them further, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside.

“Junior Brother, are you in there?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly moved to the outer edge of the spirit boat.

When he saw the white figure standing in mid-air not far away, Ye Yu was speechless to the extreme.

He immediately began to carefully observe his surroundings.

……

On the other side.

Northern Desolate Continent.

Huangfu Baizhi’s dream had not yet ended.

【Ever since Ye Yu ascended to the Heavenly Realm, Huangfu Baizhi felt an immense sense of loneliness.】

【So, she decisively left the Great Yong Imperial Palace.】

【She began to devote herself to cultivation, hoping to ascend to the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible to find Ye Yu.】

【However, progress in cultivation is often slow.】

【From the mid-stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm to the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, it took Huangfu Baizhi over three hundred years.】

【During this time, her impatience nearly led her to go mad.】

【If it hadn’t been for the wedding dress reminding Huangfu Baizhi that someone was waiting for her in the Heavenly Realm, she might not have regained her senses.】

【But just at this moment, the Heavenly Tribulation arrived.】

【Originally, Huangfu Baizhi had already expended a massive amount of spiritual power to overcome her inner demons.】

【The arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation was like adding insult to injury.】

【In the end, Huangfu Baizhi was unable to successfully endure the Heavenly Tribulation.】

【At the moment before her death, tears streamed down her face.】

【Huangfu Baizhi was not afraid of death, but she feared Ye Yu waiting alone in the Heavenly Realm.】

【Your Majesty, I hope you do not wait any longer.】

【I may not be able to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.】

【If there is a next life, I hope to be blessed enough to bear you a child.】

In an instant, the scene shattered.

Huangfu Baizhi opened her eyes, unable to stop the tears from flowing.

It was only after a long time that she slowly calmed down.

Looking at the familiar surroundings in the tent, Huangfu Baizhi realized, everything that happened just now, could it be a dream?

But this dream was unusually real.

How could it be so vivid?

The Sixteenth Prince, Ye Yu?

No, among all the princes, none were named Ye Yu.

Moreover, unlike the dream, the Emperor had only seventeen princes, one less than in the dream.

It was as if this prince named Ye Yu had vanished into thin air.

What was going on?

Huangfu Baizhi clasped her hands together, deep in thought.

But when she suddenly looked at the storage ring on her hand, her whole body trembled.

Her eyes reddened once again.
