With bursts of thunder, a voice of surprise came.
"Ascended..."
"Ancestor succeeded!"
At this moment, the thunder tribulation above Patriarch Chong Hua slowly dissipated, golden light blazed in the sky, and a golden passage appeared in the sky.
Patriarch Chong Hua stood upright in the sky, looked back at the Xiu Ling Academy below, and walked up the passage step by step.
After ten thousand years, on the Xuanyuan Continent, there was finally a Dominator realm mighty being who successfully passed the tribulation and ascended to the upper realm.
This also indicated that the passage to the upper realm was truly opened, and they were no longer bound by ascension.
Since Patriarch Chong Hua had already ascended to the upper realm, the Xiu Ling Academy still held a grand ceremony for him. All sects on the Xuanyuan Continent sent their congratulations to the Xiu Ling Academy.
Seeing Patriarch Chong Hua ascend, Chu Lingwei was enlightened and entered seclusion for a hundred years.
Upon emerging from seclusion again, she had already become a Supremacy realm cultivator.
As soon as she came out of seclusion, Chu Lingwei received a message from the Phoenix Clan.
It turned out that three years ago, her maternal uncle led the now prosperous Phoenix Clan to charge into the Leng family, killing the direct descendants of the Leng family and avenging the destruction of their Phoenix Clan in those years.
When Chu Lingwei heard this news, her heart remained unmoved.
The Leng family's downfall was deserved for their act of encircling and annihilating the Phoenix Clan back then.
Now, there was no longer the Leng family on the Xuanyuan Continent, only the Phoenix Clan.
Her maternal uncle and second maternal uncle had already handed over all their powers, and Feng Ziqian, the youngest descendant of the Phoenix Clan, was appointed as the clan leader.
Chu Lingwei sent countless spirit herbs and immortal medicines to the Phoenix Clan through Feng Ming, to help their clan become stronger and stronger in the future.
Her parents seemed to want to make up for all the time they had missed. After visiting the Xiu Ling Academy only once ten years ago, they continued to travel together.
Chu Lingwei couldn't help but find it amusing. They had only been apart for twenty years, and now they had been together for a hundred years, and still hadn't made up for those twenty years of separation.
She was truly fed a mouthful of dog food.
Her master was no longer the dean of Xiu Ling Academy. Since entering the Dominator realm, he had dedicated all his time to cultivation. Chu Lingwei believed that in the future, their Xiu Ling Academy would produce another ascending cultivator.
"Weiwei, shall we go see Senior Brother?"
Having not left her cave dwelling for a hundred years, they naturally had no time to visit Leng Xingzhi in the secret realm.
"No," Chu Lingwei replied indifferently. She was currently having an epiphany, and no one could disturb her cultivation.
"Junior Sister, why not?"
Nangong Luo, still in his red robe, came before Chu Lingwei. Upon hearing his junior sister's reply, he burst into laughter.
Senior Brother had been in the secret realm for a hundred years, yet Junior Sister showed no intention of seeing him.
"Greetings, Dean." Chu Lingwei bowed to Nangong Luo. Now, he was not only her second senior brother but also the dean of Xiu Ling Academy, and the youngest dean.
"Junior Sister, Senior Brother has waited for you for a hundred years." Nangong Luo pursed his lips and smiled. Senior Brother had made Weiwei wait for four years, and Junior Sister had made Senior Brother wait for a hundred years. It seemed that women were indeed not to be trifled with.
"Second Senior Brother, please don't tease me."
Chu Lingwei's face turned slightly red. Senior Brother was not always in the secret realm; he might be in the upper realm at this time.
"Weiwei."
Leng Xingzhi arrived on his sword and stood before the dazed Chu Lingwei. "Weiwei, do you miss Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother, why are you here?" Wasn't it said that those from the upper realm could not appear on the Xuanyuan Continent, otherwise their cultivation would be suppressed?
"Since Weiwei wouldn't come to find me, I had to come find Junior Sister."
Leng Xingzhi was filled with helplessness. After a hundred years of separation, he could wait no longer. He reached out and held Junior Sister's hand. "Weiwei, are you willing to be my Dao companion?"
"Senior Brother, I haven't ascended yet." One was a god from the upper realm, and the other a Supremacy realm cultivator. Chu Lingwei was unsure if they could become Dao companions.
"It doesn't matter, I will accompany Weiwei."
A hundred years of waiting had made Leng Xingzhi deeply understand the pain of separation.
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei looked into Senior Brother's eyes and nodded forcefully. In her heart, she wanted to marry Senior Brother.
Due to Leng Xingzhi's identity, Chu Lingwei and Leng Xingzhi's Dao companion ceremony was held very low-key.
Chu Lingwei wished she could be like an ordinary mortal, wearing a bright red wedding dress, holding her lover's hand, and becoming husband and wife witnessed by family and friends.
Leng Xingzhi also changed into a bright red outfit and stood in the distance, watching the woman he loved walk towards him step by step.
A thought stirred in his heart, and he flew forward, taking Chu Lingwei's hand. "Wife, I'll hold your hand."
Beneath the red veil, Chu Lingwei suppressed a smile and glared at him playfully. They hadn't even paid respects to her parents or master yet, and calling her "wife" now was too early.
"Weiwei, may you be happy in the future." Lan Yuexi's eyes were red as she watched her daughter find her Dao companion.
"Mother, don't worry, your daughter will definitely be happy."
Chu Lingwei's hand was tightly clasped in Leng Xingzhi's. She suddenly remembered the first time she met Senior Brother and felt that being with him would bring her much peace.
"Good, good, good." Lan Yuexi nodded vigorously. She solemnly handed Chu Lingwei over to Leng Xingzhi. "Xuan Yuan, I hope you will not let Weiwei down."
"Mother-in-law, rest assured. In this life and this world, I will always be by Weiwei's side."
They were gods, and time would pass without emotion. No matter how time changed, he would never let go of Chu Lingwei's hand, never.
Witnessed by her parents, maternal uncle, second maternal uncle, Phoenix Clan members, master, second senior brother, and third senior brother, Chu Lingwei and Leng Xingzhi became companions.
Sitting on the large red bed, Chu Lingwei's mind was somewhat hazy. She had finally become Senior Brother's Dao companion.
"Weiwei, you are my wife from now on." Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei's hand tightly in his. At this moment, Chu Lingwei could once again feel the changes in the spiritual power within Leng Xingzhi. "I am willing to share my divine power and my life with you."
"Senior Brother!" Chu Lingwei threw herself into Leng Xingzhi's arms. "I am willing too."
"Weiwei, I have waited for this moment for a long time." Leng Xingzhi looked at Chu Lingwei's charming and shy appearance, his eyes burning with passion.
"Wait, Senior Brother, I can't go to the upper realm with you yet. I still have many things to do?"
Chu Lingwei covered Leng Xingzhi's mouth with her hand. Thinking of the promise she made with that wisp of remnant soul from Linglong Jian and the promise to that bird by Xiushui Bank, she couldn't help but say.
"It doesn't matter, Senior Brother will accompany Junior Sister."
Weiwei was his Dao companion. They would be together for a lifetime. Whatever she wanted to do in the future, he would accompany her.
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei blushed, raised her head, and accepted Leng Xingzhi's love.
For a moment, the room was filled with spring.
Spring went and spring came, and time flowed.
Chu Lingwei looked up, gazing at the great path leading to the ascension realm before her. She smiled and turned, grasping her Dao companion's hand, and together they flew towards the golden light.
The upper realm was a larger cultivation space. Chu Lingwei believed that her family and friends would reunite here, embarking on a new path of cultivation.
