My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 944: Wives Emerged



Chapter 944: Wives Emerged

The Royal Palace of the Demon Empire was now shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and the entire city had fallen into an eerie silence after the allied forces departed for the border.

People appeared less lively, as the tension from the frontlines weighed heavily even on the ordinary citizens of the empire.

Empress Varia stood on the palace balcony, a troubled and somber expression on her face as she gazed toward the distant horizon.

The pot of tea on the table had long gone cold, and the servants standing nearby remained silent, not daring to disturb her.

’I hope everything is going well at the border… I only wish for my husband to return home safely…’ She thought to herself as a gentle breeze brushed against her face, causing her hair to sway softly.

“Your Majesty, Lord Yuan is here to see you.” A maid approached and informed her in a polite, measured tone.

“Bring him here… I have something important to discuss with him.” Empress Varia replied.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.” The maid bowed respectfully.

Shortly after, she returned with Yuan by her side. After giving a deep bow, she quietly withdrew, leaving the two alone.

“You don’t look well, Your Majesty,” Yuan spoke calmly as he took a seat.

Empress Varia turned her head and let out a soft sigh before speaking, “With my husband away, fighting for the people—for every living being on this continent, how can I remain calm knowing he is risking his life?”

“I don’t know if he will return alive… his safety is uncertain. The undead are not to be underestimated—especially the Undead King. He is a being of unparalleled power.”

“Furthermore, I don’t even know where Nerith has gone. There has been no news of her for two whole days… I’m worried.”

Empress Varia’s voice softened, filled with pain and concern—for her husband, and for Nerith, whom she regarded as her own sister.

Yuan sighed quietly as he looked at her expression, feeling a trace of guilt over Nerith’s sudden disappearance.

He had told them she was training somewhere within the empire, in a dangerous forest. But in truth, she was cultivating inside the Secret Realm.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan said, “You don’t need to worry about Nerith or the situation at the border… I know where she is and what she’s doing. I can assure you that the undead will be completely annihilated in this war.”

“Besides, didn’t I promise your husband that I would fight on your side?” Yuan chuckled softly. “I am someone who values his word above all else. I do not break my promises.”

After saying this, Yuan left Empress Varia alone on the balcony and returned to his assigned room.

“It’s time to check whether they’ve come out of their rooms or not…” Yuan waved his hand and opened the passage to the Secret Realm.

Once inside, he saw that Anna Grace had already come out and was practicing her sword technique—Lotus Blossom Sword Dance.

Her movements were swift, precise, and fluid like a flowing river, without a single flaw. Her execution was flawless, reflecting her deep comprehension of the technique.

’It seems Mother has mastered the Lotus Blossom Sword Dance to perfection… even elevating its grade by one level.’ Yuan thought, a hint of surprise on his face.

He then observed her cultivation, which had reached the second level of the Spirit Lord realm. In just three days, she had broken through from the seventh level of the Spirit Grandmaster realm to the second level of Spirit Lord.

’This is good… no one in this world could match her strength. She could crush anyone she wishes, and no one would be able to stop her.’ Yuan thought with a smile as he looked at his mother.

Suddenly, Anna Grace stopped practicing her sword technique and turned her head toward Yuan, and a radiant smile blossomed on her beautiful face.

“Darling~” She immediately put down her sword and leaped toward him like an excited child.

With a smile, Yuan caught her in his arms, feeling her body pressed against his—the warmth and the familiar scent of her presence comforting him.

“It seems you’ve completely mastered your sword technique, Mom. Congratulations!” Yuan said with a proud smile.

“Oh, that… I just gained enlightenment when I decided to temper my body after breaking through in my cultivation. And surprisingly, I ended up mastering the technique to perfection.” Anna Grace replied cheerfully, hugging him tightly.

Anna Grace then cupped his face and placed a gentle kiss on his lips, and Yuan returned it without hesitation.

Just then, Lily stepped out from the building with a bright smile—only for her expression to immediately stiffen when she saw Yuan kissing Anna Grace.

Her face darkened at the sight as she quickly approached them with an annoyed look.

“Move aside and let me have a kiss!” Lily exclaimed, pushing Anna Grace away before wrapping her arms around Yuan’s neck.

“Now, little brother, give your big sister a kiss for being away for so long.” She said with a mischievous, almost perverted smile before immediately kissing him.

Anna Grace was clearly annoyed by this, but she didn’t voice her complaint, as she was well aware of her daughter’s antics whenever she became jealous.

’How infuriating… my perfect moment with my darling got ruined… hmph!’ She snorted inwardly, stomping her foot lightly.

While returning Lily’s kiss, Yuan noticed her cultivation—First Level Spirit Lord realm. She had also made a significant breakthrough after a few days of secluded cultivation.

Soon after, Emma and the others emerged from the building as well. One by one, all his wives gathered outside, including Miss Zara and Little Zoe.

Emma had also reached the Spirit Lord realm, her current cultivation at the second level—matching Anna Grace’s level.

Most of his wives had advanced into the Spirit Lord realm, except for Vrasha, Kitsura, Aisha, and Angela, despite their time in closed-door cultivation.

Vrasha was currently at the peak of the Spirit Master realm. Although her cultivation lagged behind the others, her overall strength had improved significantly.

As for Kitsura, she had also made notable progress during her seclusion, reaching the eighth level of the Spirit Master realm—just one level behind Vrasha.

Aisha had reached the fifth level of the Spirit Grandmaster realm, having used this opportunity to focus seriously on her cultivation.

Meanwhile, her mother, Angela, had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Grandmaster realm, surpassing her daughter in cultivation.

After all, she refused to fall behind her own daughter, so she made full use of every moment to improve herself.

This also brought a noticeable change in her appearance, making her look much younger than before. The faint wrinkles on her arms and waist had completely disappeared, and her skin had become soft and smooth.

Yuan couldn’t help but smile as he looked at them. Not only had their strength increased, but they had also become even more beautiful.
