My Celestial Ascension

I felt compelled to explain the cause of the month-long break before starting this chapter. To be completely honest, I recently experienced a terrible accident that nearly killed me and required me to spend around 20 days in the hospital. Although my recovery has been sufficient for me to begin writing, it is still ongoing, therefore I will try to release one chapter every day for the upcoming weeks. My attention is unfortunately being disrupted by a plastered hand that has developed into an intolerable source of itching, and I hope you guys understand my circumstances.

Furthermore, I have secured a royalty contract and intend to transition to premium content starting from the next chapter.

When their blood dropped onto the storage rings, it was absorbed by the rings, causing the rings to tremble briefly. They are surprised to see their blood fading from the rings and the rings slightly trembling.

“What just happened?” asked Lily, curiously staring at the rings.

“I’m not sure,” replied Emma, with a confused expression. “But it looks like the rings absorbed our blood.”

“Emma, you’re correct. These rings took your blood and registered you as their owners; as a result, they are now connected to you and are inaccessible to anybody but the person to whom they were bound. It functions similarly to a seal that only the owner can access.”Looking at their slightly bewildered faces, Yuan replied with a tiny chuckle.

Lily was simply shocked by how complex these rings were. “Whoa, I had no idea that these tiny rings would have such a sophisticated security mechanism to protect our belongings.”

“Hehe, and dear, not to mention how convenient they are, I can simply store anything I want in this ring aside from the living things of course,” Anna said, giggling slightly as she looked at Lily.

“You guys are absolutely right; these rings will come in very handy for us when we start moving around more in the future. With these rings, we won’t have to worry about carrying around cumbersome luggage on our backs or having our belongings stolen.” Grace responded in her typical chilly manner.

Then, with a gentle smile on his face, Yuan looked at the martial arts techniques he had earlier set on the ground, picked them up, and turned to face his two mothers, Anna and Grace, as well as Emma and Lily.

“It’s time to wrap up this useless chat because it will get dark soon. The martial arts techniques I promised you are right here. You guys still have time to learn them before it gets dark, so get to reading them right away.”

Yuan then handed the techniques to them. He gave his big sister Lily the “Frozen Moon Blade” technique, which is an Ice attribute sword technique that can harness the power of the moon—a technique well-suited to Lily’s Heavenly Yin Physique.

He gave the “Iron Palm Technique” to Emma and the “Lotus Blossom Dance” sword technique to his two mothers.

Lily looked at the “Frozen Moon blade” sword technique with excitement and awe, her heart beating fast with anticipation, and she couldn’t wait to try it out.

“Little Yuan, this is simply great! It also makes me feel more comfortable…” After reading the technique’s name, Lily answered in an enthusiastic tone. She experienced a really cozy and familiar feeling from the technique as she held it in her palm.

“Oh, it’s because it’s a Yin-attributed sword technique, which is the same attribute as your unique physique, and can employ the power of the moon at the user’s will.”

Hearing this, her eyes wide with admiration. Lily couldn’t believe how thoughtful her little brother was. “Little Yuan, I’m so grateful for you. I can’t express to you how thankful I am right now. You always consider what’s best for me.” she said, pulling him in for a hug.

Yuan blushed and looked away, but Lily could see the pride in his eyes. She leaned in and kissed his cheek. “I love you, little Yuan. You’re the best,” she said with a smile.

Yuan smiled back at her, his heart full of joy. “I love you too, Lily. I’m delighted you find the technique appealing.”

He then turned to face Emma, gave her a soft smile, and said: “You are a best suited for the “Iron Palm Technique” because you are physically stronger than a human, thus I gave it to you. Don’t worry; I will teach you some weapon skills that are ideal for you once you enter the Spirit Master Realm.”

It’s alright, I get it, and I have faith in you, Yuan, to make the right choice for me. Emma looked down at the ground and spoke softly while flashing a warm smile.

Because Yuan is both her lover and future husband, she has complete faith in him and understands that he won’t make the wrong choice for her. .𝘯𝘵

He then turned to look at his two mothers, who were both confusedly gazing at the technique he had just given them and wondering why Yuan had only given them one technique.

Noticing their son’s gazing at them, Grace asked. “Daring, why did you give us only one technique?”

“I give this technique to both of you because it works well for you. It would be difficult for you two to learn different techniques because you are both connected as one person. At worst, this could hinder your future cultivation, and I can’t let that happen to my two lovely mothers, can I?”

Yuan’s words truly moved Anna and Grace, and despite the fact that they were aware of how much he loved them, they couldn’t help but smile sweetly at one another sharing the same thought.

For almost three seconds, Anna and Grace exchanged glances. Anna continued, nodding in accord, saying, “Um, we understand and we know very well that you will always pick the most effective techniques for us. Don’t you agree too, Grace?”

“He’s always this way, constantly thinking about what’s best for us, and why wouldn’t he be? After all, he’s our darling son, and…”

Grace didn’t complete her sentence; instead, she blushed and turned around, attempting not to make eye contact with Yuan only out of embracement.

‘And our husband, too!’ Anna mumbled to herself privately, anticipating what Grace would say. Truth be told, Anna was a little embarrassed as well when she realized what Grace was about to say in front of Lily and Emma.

Yuan merely stared at them both with a loving glance and a pleasant grin on his face; he also anticipated what Grace was about to say. However, even though he knows he didn’t express it to his face, he didn’t want to embarrass any of them in front of Lily and Emma.

Unbeknownst to Yuan and his two mothers, Lily and Emma begin studying the practice as soon as they set in the lotus position after receiving it from Yuan.

They paid no attention to their talk and concentrated on learning the technique as quickly as possible so they could brag about it in front of Anna and Grace.

Yuan chuckled as he observed Lily and Emma concentrating on learning the technique. He then smirked as he turned his attention back to his two mothers.

“…”

“What’s up with your smile? Has something amusing occurred?” Grace inquired while furrowing her brows in a perplexed manner, unsure of what Yuan was considering.

“Hahaha! I’m laughing because it seems like the two of you will soon lose to Lily and Emma, and you two are even unconscious of it; isn’t it quite funny?”

“…”

“…”

“Huh?” Lily and Emma’s cunning antics caught them off guard, and their shock was evident as they both exclaimed simultaneously, showing that they had not anticipated such behavior from the two girls.

They turn towards them, curious about their fixation. Lily and Emma were completely entranced, their eyes glued to the pages of the technique book gifted by Yuan. It was as though the world had faded away, leaving only the intricate movements and techniques detailed before them.

Anna and Grace furrowed their brows and pursed their lips, casting disapproving glances at Lily and Emma. Undeterred by the duo’s irritating expressions, the two girls locked eyes on the coveted technique, determined to learn it before Anna and Grace do.

Grace’s eyes glared at Lily and Emma with a mixture of frustration and envy. She opened her mouth to speak, her voice laced with irritation, “They’ve gone and done it this time, haven’t they? Not even bothering to wait for us to hear darling’s expert opinion on our technique,”

Anna, sensing the frustration in Grace’s voice, gently placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke up in a soft, comforting tone, “Oh, Grace, don’t be too hard on them. Remember, they are young and their curious spirits often get the best of them. We were all like that once.”

Anna’s comforting words washed over Grace like a warm summer breeze, prompting her to close her eyes and take a deep breath. As the air filled her lungs, she let out a contented sigh and spoke softly, “I suppose I have to agree with you, Anna. They’re young and competitive, but I can’t help feeling a twinge of disappointment.”

Anna nodded in understanding and replied, “I know how you feel, Grace. It’s only natural to expect the best from those we care about.”

“And it won’t change the fact that Yuan will love and pamper us regardless of the outcome of who’s the first one to successfully comprehend the technique!”

“Cough!” Yuan coughs as he observes his two mothers waste time talking to one another rather than studying the technique. And he said, “You two will definitely lose to Lily and Emma if you waste any more time talking with each other! Why don’t you two begin learning the technique before night falls?”

Yuan’s stern warning shook Anna and Grace out of their conversation. They exchanged a knowing glance before settling into the lotus position with determination. Opening the “Lotus Blossom Dance” technique book, they began studying intently.

With each passing minute, they felt their skills improving, and they knew that they could face Lily and Emma with newfound confidence.

As the sun began to set, they finished their training, ready for the challenge that lay ahead.
