Su Ye stared at Yu Qingning with his peach blossom eyes, unable to react for a moment.

His eyes were first filled with disbelief and shock, then replaced by an indescribable joy.

The eyes that had been slightly reddened with suppressed emotions now seemed to be lit up, sparkling with brilliance. The deep voice was filled with unconcealable excitement: "Are you...are you serious?"

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, and the joy in his heart flowed like a flood that broke through a dam.

I kept telling myself in my heart: She is not joking, so she likes me, otherwise she would not give me the chance to be her Taoist partner.

Suye tried hard to calm his inner excitement. A gentle yet alluring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were firm and blazing: "I will definitely ascend to the upper realm. It won't be long."

Yu Qingning looked at Su Ye. She believed that he could do what he said, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

……

As the night deepened, Yu Qingning stood up and prepared to leave.

The figure paused for a moment when he reached the door. He was about to ask Su Ye whether he would go to Penglai on the day of her ascension, but the next second his hand was held by Su Ye and his back was pressed against the door.

This time it was not a kiss on the back of the hand. Su Ye leaned closer and his lips touched hers gently and carefully.

It was just a light kiss, but it was like a spring breeze, gently blowing across her heart and leaving ripples.

Su Ye looked at Yu Qingning affectionately, his heartbeat had never been so fast, and there seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere lingering in the air. He gently stroked her hair with his fingers, calmed his mind, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"I will go back to Penglai with you tomorrow. You will ascend to heaven soon, so I will accompany you for the next few days."

Yu Qingning looked at Shang Suye's overly handsome face, with warmth still lingering on his lips, and nodded in agreement, because she knew that even if she didn't agree, he would sneak away to Penglai tomorrow.

"Then I'll wait for you to find me tomorrow, and then we'll go back to Penglai together."

Three days later, on Penglai Island, the morning mist was lingering, the sea breeze was blowing gently, and everything between heaven and earth seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze.

Pei Yin, Yu Jun and others gathered on Qingying Peak. Even Master Kongwang, Master Kongming, and Ancestor Lingguang came to Penglai yesterday.

Jiang Wan, Qian Mo and the others were more excited than each other, only Shen Xuanli on the side still had a cold look, but his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Yu Qingning slowly raised her hands, and the divine seal in her palms emitted a dazzling golden light.

Yu Qingning took a deep breath and placed the divine seal between his eyebrows.

At the moment when the divine seal touched the center of his eyebrows, a dazzling light burst out instantly, like the scorching sun breaking through the clouds, shining brightly and illuminating the entire world.

This ray of light seemed to contain endless power, as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world.

Yu Qingning's body was gradually enveloped by light, and his figure seemed to merge into one with the light.

As the golden light continued to spread, a powerful pressure surged out from Yu Qingning, spreading out in all directions.

This pressure was like a substance, making everyone present involuntarily want to submit.

Su Ye stared at Yu Qingning who was shrouded in light without blinking, with joy and reluctance in his eyes.

He could feel the tremendous power emanating from Yu Qingning, the strength of which was far beyond his imagination.

Not only Su Ye, but every strong man present, even the ancestor Lingguang, felt an unprecedented shock.

Everyone realized that Yu Qingning, who had obtained the power of the divine seal, now possessed terrifying strength that was enough to change the situation of heaven and earth.

Jiang Wan was so shocked that she couldn't help but tremble with excitement and said, "So, this is the power of becoming a god! It's far beyond my comprehension. You are indeed my Junior Sister!"

The light around Yu Qingning became more and more dazzling, as if she was transforming into a god. Her power continued to rise until it reached a certain limit.

Suddenly, above the sky, a ladder made of pure light slowly descended.

The ladder to heaven was wide and magnificent, and each step was shining with a mysterious silver light, as if it was made of the power of the stars, extending all the way down to Yu Qingning's feet.

The ladder to heaven descended, and this strange phenomenon instantly caused the entire world of immortal cultivation to boil.

The masters and disciples from all the major sects were all shocked and rushed to the top of the mountain to look up at the ladder connecting heaven and earth, their eyes full of shock, as were the Penglai disciples.

"Look! That's the ladder to heaven! Someone has triggered the ladder phenomenon! Someone is about to embark on the divine path and ascend to the upper realm!"

"Someone is actually about to ascend! Such a miraculous sight hasn't appeared in the world of immortal cultivation for many years. Which powerful being is about to enter the upper realm?!"

"Looking at that direction, it's definitely the Penglai Sect! Could it be that Sect Master Pei, or one of the elders from Tianjizi or Xuanyangzi, is about to ascend to become a god?"

The monks from various sects speculated and stared at the ladder connecting heaven and earth.

Yu Qingning slowly raised his head and looked at the ladder leading to the unknown. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination. He took a light step and stepped onto the ladder.

Today, Yu Qingning was dressed in a white dress with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. As she climbed up step by step, the silver light on the ladder became more dazzling, contrasting brilliantly with her white dress.

When Yu Qingning's figure appeared on the ladder and gradually became clearer, the discussions of the monks from various sects came to an abrupt end, replaced by silence.

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The person who ascended to heaven was not any of the powerful men from Penglai Sect as they had guessed, but Yu Qingning!

The strong men from various sects, including disciples, knew how strong Yu Qingning was among his peers. He had even broken through the fusion stage. But now, Yu Qingning had stepped onto the ladder to heaven!

And around Yu Qingning, there was an indescribable terrifying force.

This power seemed to be able to tear the void, making people feel awe. This power was even more terrifying than that of the Mahayana period. How did she do it?!

Could it be that he had received some incredible opportunity?! Otherwise, how could he have leaped from the Fusion Stage to the Ascension Stage in one fell swoop?

Everyone was talking, but their eyes never left Yu Qingning.

Every step Yu Qingning took seemed unusually steady, as if she had become one with the ladder to heaven. With every rise in height, her aura became more unfathomable.

The silver light on the ladder and her white clothes reflected each other, like the brightest stars in the night sky, leading everyone to look up.

Everyone held their breath and stared. Although Yu Qingning's figure was getting smaller and smaller on the ladder, her presence and the powerful aura she exuded were becoming stronger and stronger, making it increasingly impossible to ignore her.

Finally, Yu Qingning's figure reached the top of the ladder.

He turned and stopped, looking back at the people below.

At that moment, Yu Qingning's eyes revealed a look of reluctance, and he left a telepathic message to everyone.

He also said to all his fellow disciples: "My fellow disciples, although I have reached the summit and ascended today, the road to heaven is endless, and the same is true for the path of cultivation. I hope that you will not forget your original aspirations and forge ahead."

After saying that, Yu Qing's gaze lingered on Su Ye for a moment, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, as if he said something.

Afterwards, her figure began to gradually become transparent until it completely merged into the light at the top of the ladder.

It was not until Yu Qingning's figure disappeared that the Penglai disciples came back to their senses from the shock and shouted Yu Qingning's name loudly. There was no envy or jealousy in their hearts, only respect for his unremitting pursuit on the road to cultivation.

Shen Xuanli's eyes moved slightly, and his fingers stroked the mustard seed ring left to him by Yu Qingning.

The path of cultivation is endless, and as her senior brother, he cannot let her down.

Su Ye looked at the last staircase disappearing into the sky, and felt like something was missing in his heart.

Whispering softly: We will meet again soon, wait for me.
