The phrase "the pen reaches the heavens" is not just a metaphor.

With just two lines of poetry, a celestial phenomenon could descend.

This was enough to prove Ye Yu’s literary talent.

In the next moment,

the spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles surged like a tide, gathering into Ye Yu’s body.

Ye Yu actually stepped across a major realm in one leap,

directly entering the Integration Stage.

However, what Ye Yu needed to do at this moment was to painstakingly suppress his cultivation level,

to prevent Fu Wangdai from noticing any flaws.

Soon,

the phenomenon vanished, but the rich smell of blood in the air lingered for a while.

Ye Yu’s mind raced.

He slightly relaxed the concealment technique, suppressing his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm!

Then he pretended to be delighted, saying, “Madam, look! With just a little effort, I can break through!”

Fu Wangdai quickly congratulated him.

But in her heart, she felt quite puzzled.

She couldn’t help but think: The celestial phenomenon that just occurred, along with the gathering of spiritual energy, was so powerful that it could elevate someone to the Integration Stage.

Why did my husband’s cultivation only increase from the Foundation Stage to the Golden Core?

That seems a bit unusual!

Noticing that Fu Wangdai was starting to doubt,

Ye Yu’s heart sank.

No, he couldn’t let her think too much about it.

So he quickly said, “Madam, you’re not a cultivator, are you frightened by the phenomenon just now?”

“It’s alright! I’ve seen those Nascent Soul seniors at the Jixia Academy cause even greater celestial phenomena.

Wait until I step into the Nascent Soul one day; I’ll let you experience it!”

Fu Wangdai revealed a smile.

Perhaps she was just being overly suspicious.

Maybe the scholars at the Jixia Academy required more spiritual energy to break through than ordinary cultivators.

Upon hearing this inner voice,

Ye Yu felt a wave of relief.

Had he managed to defuse the situation?

Fu Wangdai softly asked, “Husband, do you really want to step into the Nascent Soul?”

Ye Yu laughed and said, “Of course! A cultivator spends their life pursuing higher realms, hoping to transform and ascend to the heavens one day.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Wangdai slightly lowered her head and fell silent.

The next day,

Fu Wangdai said she was going to the mountain to gather herbs.

Ye Yu didn’t think much of it.

But who would have thought that she would still be out when night fell?

Just as Ye Yu was about to head out to look for her,

Fu Wangdai returned with a bamboo basket on her back.

She laughed softly, “Husband, you must have been worried! I gathered quite a few mushrooms this time. I’ll make mushroom soup; you must eat more!”

Ye Yu instinctively glanced at the basket.

Just one look made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

Goodness, is that the Crystal Flame Gray Ancient Mushroom?

And there’s the Big Green Mysterious Mushroom, the Lihe Black Treasure Mushroom, etc.

Huh? You even got the Multi-Treasure Seven Precious Ginseng?

And you deliberately hid it under the others to keep it from being seen?

Each of these items was worth a fortune; if it weren’t for Ye Yu’s other memories from the dream realm,

he probably wouldn’t recognize them at all.

This is what you call gathering herbs on the mountain?

Which mountain could possibly have such heavenly materials and earthly treasures?

Seeing Ye Yu’s unwavering gaze on the basket,

Fu Wangdai suddenly stopped, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

She thought to herself: Oh no, could it be that my husband recognized these heavenly materials and treasures?

That’s impossible!

These items are of such high quality.

Many of them have never been seen even by the sons and daughters of major sects.

How could my husband, a mere Golden Core cultivator, possibly recognize them?

Upon sensing her inner thoughts,

Ye Yu quickly reacted and smiled, saying, “Wife, you’re amazing! Look at how big these mushrooms are; they must be delicious. Thank you!”

Fu Wangdai’s face also returned to a smile.

“I’ll go make them right away! As long as my husband enjoys them, I’ll go gather more tomorrow!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s eyelids twitched.

He nodded in agreement.

The two held hands and walked into the thatched cottage.

In the following days,

Fu Wangdai would bring Ye Yu various heavenly materials and treasures every day to supplement him.

With such nourishment and the benefits of his golden talent,

Ye Yu’s cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

In just a few short years, he had already entered the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

With the previous experience of successfully crossing tribulation,

Ye Yu was not afraid of heavenly tribulations.

At the same time, he began to feel Fu Wangdai’s strength, which was perhaps in the late stage or even peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

She definitely hadn’t reached the Ascendant Realm.

It seemed that the so-called foremost figure of the demonic path in the Western Border Continent

was just that.

In any continent, Ascendant cultivators were a rare find.

It was understandable; if one successfully crossed the heavenly tribulation and ascended,

the final barrier would be to attain enlightenment and ascend.

Who would have the leisure to meddle in the conflicts between righteousness and evil?

Over the years,

Ye Yu and Fu Wangdai’s relationship was excellent.

But as time went by,

Fu Wangdai began to develop a sense of insecurity.

She feared that if one day Ye Yu found out her true identity, he would no longer want her!

So Fu Wangdai once tentatively asked Ye Yu about his views on the paths of righteousness and evil.

Hearing Fu Wangdai’s inner voice, Ye Yu immediately provided a perfect response.

“Judging by actions, not by hearts; in the world, few are truly perfect!”

“Whether righteous or evil, they are all cultivators.

They all have their own stances, and in Ye Yu’s view, they are the same.”

This was not Ye Yu trying to comfort Fu Wangdai.

It was simply how he genuinely felt.

After all, he had once been a leader of the demonic path in the dream realm.

How could Ye Yu have any aversion to the demonic path?

But as the saying goes, the more one cares, the more anxious one becomes.

Even with Ye Yu’s comforting words,

Fu Wangdai still couldn’t completely dispel her fears.

Sometimes, she would often have nightmares.

Dreaming that Ye Yu would abandon her once he learned her true identity.

That feeling was quite distressing.

Fu Wangdai didn’t want to keep deceiving him like this.

Rather than fear that Ye Yu would discover the truth,

she would be better off finding an opportunity to confess, hoping for a lenient outcome.

At the same time,

Ye Yu was making the same plans.

He thought it would be better to reveal his identity.

That way, Fu Wangdai wouldn’t be so suspicious.

And he could also ask her why she, as the leader of the demonic path, suddenly chose to live in seclusion?

Indeed, while Ye Yu could hear inner voices,

he couldn’t penetrate secrets.

Fu Wangdai had once thought of the Five Flower Prison, but that seemed to be a place she didn’t want to mention.

Whenever she thought of it, her mood would darken.

He tried to suppress those thoughts.

This only made Ye Yu even more curious about what had happened.

Then, one spring day,

just as Ye Yu was preparing to reveal his true identity to Fu Wangdai,

he suddenly saw a strange middle-aged woman in his home.

She had an ordinary appearance, but there was a scar on her face from a sword, making her look somewhat fierce.

Seeing this woman sitting in the master’s seat, exuding the demeanor of the lady of the house,

Ye Yu was quite puzzled and asked, “Who are you?”
