Wen Yu kept his word and indeed raised Yan Li's cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years, even ten years faster than he had planned.
Thunderclaps struck again.
However, this was the last heavenly lightning strike that Yan Li would receive in the mortal realm.
The others in the sect had guessed over a hundred years that the person the sect leader had brought back to the main peak, but occasionally one or two people would still sigh at Yan Li's good fortune.
For mortals, being able to form a golden core is already a blessing from heaven; if one can go even higher, it's as if their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.
It would be impossible for Yan Li to have reached the Nascent Soul stage in just over a hundred years without anyone being jealous.
Layer upon layer of thunderclouds pressed down on the main peak, plunging the surrounding sky into darkness and eclipse. Gale-force winds rose, whipping up dust and sand.
Yan Li stood alone beneath the thunderclouds.
She had endured so much, and now, her mission was finally drawing near.
Thunder is approaching.
Wen Yu's angry voice also rang out, "A Li?"
Yesterday was no different from countless other days.
But Wen Yu fell for Yan Li's trick, becoming intoxicated by her beauty and letting her manipulate him at will.
Originally, he thought she wanted to use him one last time to coax him and shield her from the tribulation of ascension, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Even if she does nothing or says nothing, he will still help her.
Wen Yu had no idea that Yan Li was trying to deceive him.
After the room returned to calm, she pinched his chin and kissed him, but without hesitation, she knocked him unconscious and then used the Binding Immortal Rope, which was originally meant to add a bit of fun, to bind him.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already outside, but the thunder outside made Wen Yu's heart tremble a little.
Yan Li did not respond upon hearing Wen Yu's voice.
There was no emotion in those eyes; he simply raised his hand calmly, made a hand seal, and took out countless magical treasures from his storage ring.
I've already decided to shoulder this alone.
"Wen Yu, this is the end for us." After an unknown amount of time, Yan Li's weak voice reached Wen Yu's ears.
The tribulation of ascension was not over. After the heavenly lightning shattered Yan Li's magical treasures one by one, it struck her directly. In no time, blood began to flow from the corner of her lips.
His clothes had turned dusty and gray, and his exposed skin had lost its former smoothness and delicacy. His eyes also looked dull and lifeless.
Wen Yu, who had broken free of the Immortal Binding Rope, appeared almost instantly and caught Yan Li, who was about to fall, in her arms. "Ah Li, I said I would help you."
Yan Li braced herself against Wen Yu's arm, using the leverage to straighten herself. After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she pushed him away, stopping him from continuing to channel spiritual energy into her to repair her spiritual meridians.
She said calmly, "But I don't need you right now."
"Wen Yu, you are no longer of any use to me."
The final bolt of lightning struck as Wen Yu stared in astonishment. In an instant, the dark clouds dispersed, and golden light shone down, enveloping Yan Li completely.
...
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission.]
[System 002 will arrive in the dimension in three days. The host may choose to leave the dimension or stay. Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed. Please choose carefully.]
The long-lost voice rang in Yan Li's ears.
...
Wen Yu never imagined that Yan Li would leave so decisively, even ascending to the Upper Realm without hesitation. He couldn't help but hear her tender words and affection from the past hundred years, as if they were all just a dream.
Didn't you say you wanted revenge? You wanted everyone in this world to pay the price?
It took Wen Yu three whole days to realize that she was no longer present in the mortal realm. He had been deceived; from the very beginning, she had only wanted to use him.
The scene from that day and night involuntarily reappeared before my eyes.
She knelt at his feet, pitifully begging for his guidance, and later said she would not become his Daoist partner.
Yes, without becoming Daoist partners, there is no way to establish a covenant. In this vast world, there is naturally no way to find her trace, just like releasing a fish back into the sea.
Wen Yu couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
However, since it was agreed to last for a hundred years, not a single day or hour less would be acceptable; otherwise, he would demand it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
