My Celestial Ascension Chapter 986: An Unexpected Discovery

After many rounds of lovemaking, Nerith and Isolde spent the rest of the time refining the Yang Essence Yuan had injected into them.

Having just learned the dual cultivation technique, their refining pace was quite slow compared to Yuan, who had refined their Yin Essence in a heartbeat.

Since their cultivation was quite low, Yuan did not receive much benefit from their Yin Essence, but he still managed to take a step closer to his breakthrough.

For him to break through to the next realm, he needed a large amount of Yin Essence, and the purer it was, the greater the benefit. If he were to receive the pure Yin Essence of Long Yuyan, he could easily step into the next realm and even break through a few minor levels.

"I should go and clean myself before the two open their eyes," Yuan sighed softly and went to the bathroom.

While Yuan was in the bathroom, a profound aura enveloped both Nerith and Isolde as they began to show signs of a breakthrough.

Whoosh! The air around them scattered and the atmosphere became heavy as both of them successfully made a breakthrough in their cultivation, reaching the sixth realm of the Spirit Master realm.

However, it didn’t stop there; as time passed, they continued to refine the Yang Essence and made breakthroughs.

The seventh level, the eighth level, and finally they reached the ninth level of the Spirit Master Realm constantly.

Unfortunately, they didn’t manage to reach the peak of the Spirit Master realm, as the requirement for them to reach the peak had increased severalfold.

They had refined all the Yang Essence in their bodies and their cultivation had stopped progressing.

Opening their eyes, they noticed that Yuan wasn’t in the room anymore and heard noises coming from the bathroom.

"He is in the bathroom... Just how long have we spent refining the Yang Essence?" Isolde muttered softly after opening her eyes.

"I’ve managed to reach the Ninth Level of the Spirit Master... Dual Cultivation is really amazing!" Nerith muttered, sensing her cultivation base.

"Indeed. It eliminates the effort and time, and at the same time it feels incredibly good." Isolde nodded with a smile.

Shortly, Yuan emerged from the bathroom and was surprised to discover they had reached the Ninth Level of the Spirit Master realm.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough," he said with a smile before kissing both of them.

"Wait for us, we will quickly clean ourselves and be with you," Nerith said after parting with him.

She grabbed Isolde and pulled her inside the bathroom, shutting the door behind them.

Yuan cleaned the room and changed the bedsheet with a new one as he waited for them to return.

"Sorry for the wait... Oh, you’ve changed the bedsheet." Isolde said to him as she sat on the bed after emerging from the bathroom.

"Yes. We can’t sleep on a wet bedsheet, can we?" Yuan smiled at her and pulled her into his embrace, placing his hand on her thigh.

"Of course, we can’t." She smiled and kissed him on the lips.

Yuan noticed Nerith was changing into a nightgown and immediately stopped her.

"Nerith, why wear a nightgown? Let’s sleep naked... it will be fun." He said as he removed it from her body and pulled her into his embrace.

"Don’t tell me you want to have more sex... I’m sore down there and can’t take it anymore." She replied, a nervous look on her face.

"Don’t worry. I’ll restrain myself. I just want to feel your body when we sleep." Yuan replied with a smile and kissed her passionately for a couple of seconds.

Soon, they got on the bed and fell asleep, hugging each other naked, their bodies sticking to one another, feeling the warmth of each other’s company.

The following morning, after breakfast, Nerith packed everything she wanted to take with her and stored it inside her spatial ring.

She then spent the next few moments alone in her room, becoming emotional as the reality of her departure finally sank in.

"I’ll miss this place..." she muttered softly.

Before meeting Yuan, she had never imagined leaving the palace and living somewhere else. But everything had changed after meeting him, and now the time had finally come for her to leave.

"I shouldn’t get too emotional about it. It’s not like I’ll never see this place again."

After taking one last look around her room, she headed to the living area, where Yuan and the others were chatting.

"Are you done packing, Nerith?" Empress Varia asked with a gentle smile, hiding the sadness and concern in her heart.

"Yes. I’ve packed everything I need," Nerith replied with a smile as she sat on the sofa.

"Yuan, I want your word that you’ll take good care of my sister," Emperor Rhex said in a serious tone. "It’s a request from her brother."

"Naturally," Yuan replied with a smile. "Nerith is now part of my family—my wife. I’ll protect her no matter what and make sure she lives happily."

Emperor Rhex nodded with satisfaction before turning to his sister.

"And Nerith, don’t cause trouble for Yuan. I know you have a short temper, so try to control yourself a little."

"I know. You don’t need to tell me that," Nerith replied with a cold snort.

"I’m only reminding you. There’s no need to get angry."

Then he looked back at Yuan.

"So, are you heading directly to the Human Continent, or will you stop by the Beast Continent first?"

"We don’t have time to take a detour anymore," Yuan replied. "We’ll be heading directly to the Human Continent."

"But knowing those arrogant bastards, I doubt it will be that simple," Emperor Rhex said with a serious expression. "They’ve been hunting you relentlessly."

"No matter what they’re planning, their so-called divine power means nothing to me," Yuan replied confidently.

Emperor Rhex let out a soft sigh.

"Since you’ve already made up your mind and are confident in facing them, I have nothing more to say."

"I hope you have a safe journey... and take revenge against those bastards on our behalf."

"Naturally," Yuan replied, a dangerous smile appearing on his face. "Their tyranny ended the moment they made me their enemy."

A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that look, Emperor Rhex couldn’t help but pity the so-called gods.

Making an enemy out of Yuan might very well be the greatest mistake they had ever made.
