Xiao Ruoli, Xia Xiyue, and Pei Yuhan exchanged a glance, all seeing the reluctance in each other's eyes.

In truth, given Chu Tianyao's cultivation level, ascending to the upper realm was only a matter of time...

But when that day actually arrived, the three beautiful fairies were still somewhat saddened.

Chu Tianyao observed everything carefully and noticed it all.

He didn't want the three women to be sad because of parting, so he took the initiative to speak and break the slightly melancholy atmosphere.

Chu Tianyao asked first, "Xi Yue, how long do you feel it will take you to ascend?"

Xia Xiyue pondered for a moment, "Given my current state, I am confident that I can transcend the tribulation and ascend to immortality within a hundred years."

He then looked at Pei Yuhan, "Yuhan... what about you?"

Pei Yuhan said softly, "I should be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm within three hundred years!"

Chu Tianyao nodded. "It's about the same as my estimate... Yuhan will probably need three hundred years, while Ruoli should need about seven hundred years."

He said with a smile, "Don't worry, my three wives... I'll go to the Immortal Realm to establish myself first, and then welcome you all to ascend."

Xia Xiyue held Chu Tianyao's hand, her eyes filled with worry. "Tianyao... the Immortal Realm is not like the Upper Realm. You must be careful when you go there and not act impulsively."

Chu Tianyao said softly, "Xi Yue, don't worry. I came all the way from the Lower Realm... I've been through many dangers, so I know what I'm doing."

Xia Xiyue thought for a moment and continued, "Tianyao, my master is called Gu Changsheng... If you meet him in the Immortal Realm, you can reveal your identity as Zifenglin, and he may be able to protect you."

Chu Tianyao nodded. "I understand, Master Xiyue. If I meet Grandmaster, I will give him my regards."

A moment later, he pulled Xiao Ruoli to his side.

"Ruoli... after I ascend, you must not slack off in your cultivation. After all, I will no longer be able to help you improve your cultivation level through special techniques..."

Xiao Ruoli's cheeks flushed slightly as she nestled gently in Chu Tianyao's arms.

This empress had already shed her pride before Chu Tianyao...

She murmured softly, "My husband, Ruoli knows... You must take good care of yourself after you arrive in the Immortal Realm."

“That day, Shao Lingyun once said... The Immortal Realm is extremely dangerous. Every immortal is a peerless genius who has emerged from trillions of cultivators... We must not be careless.”

Chu Tianyao chuckled, "If Ruoli hadn't mentioned Shao Lingyun, I would have completely forgotten about this fairy!"

"Who says I have no connections in the Immortal Realm?! Shao Lingyun is a True Immortal after all~ I'll go and seek refuge with her after I ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Xiao Ruoli suddenly remembered what Shao Lingyun had said that day.

She bit her red lips and pinched Chu Tianyao's arm angrily. "Do you want to go and seek refuge with her... or do you want to sleep with her?!"

"Well..." Chu Tianyao said with a smile, "It naturally depends on Shao Lingyun's attitude. Ruoli, are you jealous?"

"Hmph! I'm not jealous at all..." Xiao Ruoli said fiercely, "Anyway, she and I were one body with two souls back then, so she experienced everything that was supposed to happen."

Chu Tianyao said with a hint of helplessness, "What is all this nonsense..."

"By the way, how have Su Yumin and Tang Nairou fared in the past two hundred years?"

Xiao Ruoli said, "I recently went to the 'realm' that connects to the True Realm and asked Uncle Nangong about the current situation of the True Realm."

"Uncle Nangong has already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and he should be ascending to the Upper Realm soon."

"Su Yumin's current cultivation level is the third level of the Golden Core Realm, while Tang Nairou's cultivation level is the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm..."

Xiao Ruoli paused for a moment, then continued, "Without special fortuitous events, it's unlikely that the two older sisters would have reached the Nascent Soul Realm."

Chu Tianyao pondered for a long time, "I have been in the Upper Realm for almost three hundred years... If Yu Mian and Nai Rou stop at the Golden Core Realm, their lifespan will only be five hundred years!"

"If you calculate the time, there are only two hundred years left..."

A strange light appeared in Chu Tianyao's eyes.

Tang Nairou was rescued by the patrol team in Kuhai Town!

Su Yumin, on the other hand, was a woman he took the initiative to get close to.

Later, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the two women stayed at the Rainbow Pavilion in Zuiyue County.

To be honest, the feelings weren't that deep.

These two women now hold a prestigious position in the Lower Realm, a stark contrast to their previous lives in Bitter Sea Town!

When Chu Tianyao ascended to the Upper Realm, he specifically entrusted the two women to Xiao Ruoli's care!

Strictly speaking, Chu Tianyao didn't really let them down.

However, at this moment, Chu Tianyao did not think that way.

He thought to himself, "No matter what, Yu Mian and Nai Rou are my women! I can't let them turn into nothing but bones."

"Two hundred years, is that enough time for me to find the elixir in the Immortal Realm that can help them break through their cultivation levels?"

"We have to give it a try, no matter what."

Chu Tianyao and Xiao Ruoli discussed some matters...

Finally, he found Pei Yuhan.

“Yuhan... your cultivation level has now surpassed Xiyue's! After I ascend to the Immortal Realm, you will be the number one person in the Upper Realm.”

"I entrust the Purple Maple Forest to you... Protect Xiyue's ascension a hundred years from now, and protect Ruoli's path for the next three hundred years!"

Chu Tianyao said solemnly, "Yuhan, I'm counting on you!"

Pei Yuhan nodded. "My husband need not say more. Purple Maple Forest is my home. Fairy Xiyue and Sister Ruoli are both my family. It is my duty to protect them!"

Chu Tianyao thought for a moment and then said, "Yuhan... after I ascend to the Immortal Realm, you cannot let Ye Linyuan live in the Purple Maple Forest."

Pei Yuhan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Why are you always so wary of Ye Linyuan? We've lived together for hundreds of years!"

She looked at Chu Tianyao thoughtfully, "You always seem worried about being cheated on... Could it be because there's someone with the same name as me in some novel you're reading?"

"In that case... I'll have to go and search it up to see what kind of plot could make you so paranoid all the time."

Chu Tianyao's expression changed, and he said in a panic, "Yuhan, you can't look at those messy things!"

"Your reaction is so intense, it's suspicious..."

"No, you shouldn't watch those kinds of scripts with cows in them, they'll corrupt you..."

......

After some discussion, the two finally ended their argument.

From then on, Chu Tianyao bid farewell to the three fairies of Purple Maple Forest.

He set foot on the summit of Tiandu Peak all by himself!

"I have made all the necessary arrangements regarding the cultivation world..."

"It's time to undergo the tribulation and ascend to immortality!"

Chu Tianyao took a step forward, and his entire demeanor changed completely.

At this moment, he was like an unparalleled sword blade, its sharpness fully revealed!
