My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1006: Tian Yi

Two figures came out of the bathroom, covered with only towels. They were Yuan and Angela, who had just finished cleaning up.

Angela changed the bedsheet, got onto the bed after removing her towel, and signaled Yuan to sleep beside her.

Once he lay down on the bed beside her, she smiled at him and said, "I heard from Lily that we will be going to the Windfall Kingdom to visit Rose, Julie, and Ava’s parents. Is that true, honey?"

"Indeed. We’ve decided to let them meet their parents before leaving this world." Yuan nodded with a smile, feeling her hug him from behind.

Rose, Julie, and Ava had been away from home for a very long time. Furthermore, they didn’t know how things were back home or how the village was doing nowadays.

Moreover, they were missing their parents, so it would be worthwhile for them to meet after so long. After all, there were still five more days before the teleportation device became fully operational.

"I see... It’s a good thing to meet your in-laws before our departure to the world you previously lived in." Angela nodded with a smile.

"Now I’m really curious about what kind of world my beloved grandson was reincarnated from." She chuckled, looking at him with eyes full of excitement.

He turned around and gently hugged her, saying, "It’s a world completely different from this one. Far more advanced, both technologically and economically. You’ll definitely be shocked once you see it."

"You’re making me all excited, honey." She said to him with a gentle smile before kissing him on the cheek.

She then said, "But for now, let’s get some sleep. We need to get up early tomorrow."

"Good night, Grandma," Yuan said with a sweet smile on his face.

"Good night, honey," Angela replied with a smile before closing her eyes while hugging him.

—

Yuan suddenly found himself in a pitch-black space. He wasn’t shocked this time, as he had grown accustomed to it since he had arrived here multiple times.

However, what surprised him was that this time, he was alone in the darkness with no one in sight.

"Strange... By now, someone should appear before me... What is happening this time?" He wondered to himself, finding it very awkward and unexpected.

Ting! Ting!

Suddenly, Yuan heard the sound of a zither playing, and his vision blurred for a split second before it began to clear.

Yuan then examined his surroundings. He was sitting in a tavern with a cup of wine on the table, and there were many people drinking wine while enjoying the beautiful zither music.

At the beautiful pond, a woman with pitch-black hair and a flawless face was playing the zither.

Her fingers moved elegantly over the strings, creating beautiful notes from her zither that enchanted the guests.

"Fairy Ling’er’s zither skills seem to have improved several times since the last time I watched her performance." A handsome young man raised his cup as he praised the woman playing the zither.

"What a beautiful song! It touched my heart and calmed my mind."

"As expected of Fairy Ling’er, her zither skills are truly on another level."

"Thank you for your praise, dear guests. It truly means a lot to me, and thank you for joining my performance at the Fragrance Pavilion." Fairy Ling’er spoke with a delicate smile on her face.

Her voice was so sweet that it immediately enchanted all the male guests, making them shower her with praise like rainwater.

"Fairy Ling’er, please play another song for us!" Someone shouted from a corner.

"Indeed. It was too short! Please play another song!"

Many guests began requesting another song from Fairy Ling’er, making her smile helplessly at them.

"Okay, okay, please calm down. To satisfy you all, I’ll play another song." Fairy Ling’er said as she placed her hands on the zither.

Shortly afterward, beautiful notes of melody began to fill the Fragrance Pavilion. Even the passersby stopped in front of the pavilion to listen to the song Fairy Ling’er was playing.

’So, this is Song Ling’er—the Zither Goddess. She is as beautiful as the painting,’ Yuan thought as he watched Fairy Ling’er’s performance.

Suddenly, the waiter came to him and asked, "Esteemed Guest, was the wine to your liking?"

"It’s good. I’d like to order another serving." A mature voice came out of Yuan’s mouth without him speaking.

’So, it’s another one of my reincarnations. No wonder I felt the Whispering Moon Zither was so familiar and knew its name without Long Yuyan telling me about it.’ Yuan thought, realizing the situation he was in.

From Yuan’s perspective, this scene was from the memory of his past life. He was watching it like a movie, witnessing a moment from his past life.

’Now I wonder which reincarnation this is... Could it be the Evil God?’ He wondered.

"Naturally, Esteemed Guest. But Fairy Ling’er won’t be performing anymore. Are you fine with that?" The waiter informed him.

"It’s fine. Her music is quite average; it doesn’t change anything." Yuan replied.

Tong! A sharp note suddenly resounded, shocking all the guests, as Fairy Ling’er had never made a mistake before.

Suddenly, she got up and approached Yuan with a furious look on her face, staring at him dangerously.

"I-I’ll go and immediately bring your wine, Esteemed Guest...!" The waiter was so frightened that he immediately left the scene and ran away.

This caught the attention of every guest in the pavilion, making them stare at Yuan angrily.

"Who is this bastard?! How dare he say Fairy Ling’er’s skills are average?!"

"He deserves to die for showing such disrespect to Fairy Ling’er!"

"Agreed. I say we cripple his cultivation and cut off one arm to atone for his sin!"

The guests immediately began cursing Yuan for what he had said. They were so furious that Yuan could immediately feel their killing intent directed at him.

"You said that my skills are average. Are you sure about that claim?" Fairy Ling’er spoke, her eyes fixed steadily on his, a cold expression on her face.

"Definitely. I found several flaws in your songs. Anyone with even a little understanding of music could notice them." Yuan’s mature version replied, his voice calm despite the furious glares of so many people.

"Not to mention, you delayed many notes. You should focus more on improving your skills rather than entertaining guests."

"You—!" Fairy Ling’er was shocked by how shameless the man before her was. He was openly saying all those absurd things to her.

However, she managed to control her emotions and didn’t shout at the man before her. Instead, she found a clever way to embarrass him in front of everyone.

"Since you sound so confident, why don’t you play us a song? After all, you managed to find my ’flaws’ so easily. You must be a master." Fairy Ling’er said with a coquettish smile, clearly trying to humiliate him in front of everyone.

"I don’t have time to entertain you, girl. Find someone else to play the zither for you." The mature version of Yuan said to Fairy Ling’er.

"You have no right to refuse after saying that. You have to play, or else you have to apologize to me for such disrespect." Fairy Ling’er said, her face icy as she looked at him with a dangerous smile.

"Fine. I’ll play it for you. Just one song." He replied, sighing deeply.

"That’s perfectly fine. I just want to see how skilled you are." She smiled, thinking that she had already won.

Fairy Ling’er immediately retrieved her zither and placed it in front of Yuan for him to play and display his zither skills.

"Beautiful Zither..." The mature version of Yuan said, admiring the beauty of the zither in front of him.

He placed his hands on the zither and took a deep breath as he closed his eyes for a moment.

Ting! Ting!

Shortly afterward, a soul-soothing heavenly note filled the entire pavilion, silencing everyone in the building.

Ting! Ting!

Yuan’s fingers moved rapidly as he began to play the zither. The song he played was the same one Fairy Ling’er had played a moment ago.

However, there was a huge difference in their skills. Yuan’s song sounded perfect, with each note played precisely on time, crisp and clear.

Fairy Ling’er’s eyes widened in disbelief as she heard the heavenly sound emanating from the zither, seemingly unable to believe what she was hearing.

Suddenly, the guests became confused as they began to see illusions of flowers all around them, to the point that they could even smell the sweet scent of flowers in the air.

"Am I too drunk that I’m seeing flowers all around us?" One of the guests muttered, appearing puzzled.

"Me too... How come we’re seeing a sea of flowers around us? Is this an illusion?"

"Heavens! Did someone cast an illusion formation?!"

The guests began to panic after seeing flowers all around them, as the pavilion had seemingly vanished. They could even feel the soft breeze against their cheeks.

Meanwhile, Fairy Ling’er’s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe her own eyes at what she was witnessing.

"Heavens! This is a heavenly phenomenon! And he created it by playing the zither?! Just who is this person?!" She exclaimed in disbelief, a shocked expression on her face.

"What?!" The guests were even more shocked by this, and they all stared at the person playing the zither in disbelief.

’He has reached such a high level of zither mastery that he could create lifelike illusions with his songs...’ Fairy Ling’er thought, feeling deep respect for Yuan from the bottom of her heart.

A few seconds later, Yuan stopped playing the zither, and the illusion disappeared, returning everything back to normal.

"There, I played a song. Are you happy now?" The mature version of Yuan said with a smile as he returned the zither to her.

"I’m very happy." Fairy Ling’er replied, a deep blush appearing on her face.

"In that case, I’ll take my leave now. I’ve already wasted too much of my precious time."

"Before you go, can you please tell me your name?" Fairy Ling’er asked.

"Tian Yi. Remember my name well." Tian Yi gave her a confident smile and left the pavilion.
