My Celestial Ascension

The following day, Fang Ling prepared a special breakfast for everyone, as Yuan had informed her of their departure early that morning.

"Yuan, can't you stay a bit longer? After all, it's only been a week since you all arrived in the Secret Realm, and you still need to impregnate our granddaughter," Grandma Fang said with a gloomy expression. She didn't want them to leave without ensuring that Fang Xiaoyan would be pregnant with his child.

Grandpa Fang entered the dining room and took a seat opposite Grandma Fang, adding, "That's right. You owe us a grandchild before you leave the Secret Realm."

Despite their pleas, Yuan knew he couldn't stay. Though he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had a larger mission: to travel the world in search of a way back to Earth.

Moreover, he needed to find a way to reach the Nine Heavens. Unfortunately, he didn't know where the teleportation formation to either destination was, and finding it could take a very long time.

Staying in the Secret Realm would only slow down their progress. Yuan was also concerned about how much time had passed on Earth since his death and reincarnation into this world.

"We really do need to return to the outside world. We have a lot of important things to accomplish. But since I'll be taking the Secret Realm with me, we can come back inside anytime we want," Yuan explained after a moment.

"I see… Well, since you have important things to do, I won't stop you. But I want you to take Fang Xiaoyan with you. Show her the outside world," Grandpa Fang said, glancing at his granddaughter.

At his words, Fang Xiaoyan stopped eating and looked at Yuan with an expectant expression, wondering how he would respond.

"Well, even if you hadn't asked, I would have invited her to come with us. I'd love to show her the outside world," Yuan replied with a smile, glancing at Fang Xiaoyan.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoyan's face flushed, and her heart raced with joy. She was thrilled to know that Yuan was eager to take her out of the Secret Realm.

"Is that so…" Grandma Fang said, turning to her granddaughter with a mischievous smile. "Xiaoyan, did you hear that? Yuan wants to take you with him. What do you think? Do you want to go with him?"

Fang Xiaoyan nodded quickly, her face shy. Seeing this, the old couple couldn't help but smile.

Fang Ling and Fang Ming were also happy to see their daughter agree to go with Yuan and explore the outside world as his wife. They were hopeful that soon, they would finally have a grandchild from Fang Xiaoyan.

A few minutes later, everyone finished breakfast. Afterward, Yuan and his wives decided to take one last bath in the hot spring before leaving the Secret Realm, knowing how relaxing and soothing the waters were.

"Xiaoyan, won't you join us in the pool?" Anna asked, suddenly grabbing her hand and pulling her along.

"Well, I need to pack some things, so I'll pass this time," Fang Xiaoyan said, declining before heading to her room to pack her belongings.

Once she was gone, Anna and Grace hugged Yuan's arms from both sides, pressing their bodies against him.

"Darling, let's have one last bath in the hot spring before we go. It's been a while since we've had any fun, and I'm feeling quite… eager," Grace whispered in a seductive tone, squeezing his arm tighter between her chest.

"Well, we can do 'that' once we're out of the Secret Realm. I don't think it's a good idea to do anything naughty in the hot spring," Yuan replied, looking a little awkward as his two mothers dragged him toward the spring.

"But we can at least share a few kisses, right?" Anna asked, giving him a pitiful look.

Seeing her expression, Yuan sighed. "Alright, yes. We can do that."

"Hehe…" Anna and Grace exchanged knowing glances, giggling with a mischievous look on their faces.

'At this point, I don't even want to guess what they're planning. I just hope it's not anything dangerous…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Moments later, they arrived at the hot spring and began undressing, their clothes falling to the ground as they prepared to enter the warm water.

Valeria, having shed her garments, approached Yuan from behind with a seductive grin. Wrapping her arms around him, she pressed her breasts against his back, catching him off guard.

"Yuan, let's get in. I'll wash your back," Valeria whispered in his ear, her voice soft and teasing.

Without a word, Yuan turned and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, surprising Valeria. Though startled, she eagerly responded, deepening the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The two shared several minutes of intimacy, their bodies pressed together as Yuan's hands wandered, exploring her soft curves.

After their brief moment, they slipped into the hot spring, the warmth of the water instantly relaxing their muscles. Yuan and Valeria let out a sigh of contentment as they soaked in the soothing embrace of the spring, their fatigue melting away.

Some time later, Yuan and his wives returned to the house, refreshed from their bath. Upon entering, they saw Fang Xiaoyan dressed in a striking red outfit, reminiscent of Xi Meili's style but with a unique design that highlighted her elegance.

"Did you enjoy the hot spring?" Grandma Fang asked with a mischievous smile, her eyes twinkling as if she knew exactly what had happened there.

"It was very relaxing. I'm sure I'll miss it after we leave the Secret Realm," Anna replied, smiling softly.

"You don't have to miss it," Grandpa Fang chimed in, his tone straightforward. "Yuan's taking the Secret Realm with him. You can come back whenever you like." Then, turning to Fang Xiaoyan, his expression grew serious. "Now, it's time for you all to go. Xiaoyan, next time you visit, you'd better be pregnant."

"Grandpa! What are you saying?!" Fang Xiaoyan exclaimed, her face turning bright red from embarrassment.

Anna and the others giggled at her reaction, clearly entertained by her flustered state.

Fang Ling approached Yuan with a warm smile. "Yuan, Xiaoyan's still inexperienced with the world outside, so take good care of her. And make sure you visit us often."

"Don't worry, Aunt Ling. I'll take care of Xiaoyan and show her the wonders of the outside world," Yuan replied with a reassuring smile.

"I know you will…" Fang Ling leaned in close, whispering in his ear, "And don't forget to make her your woman soon. We'll be expecting a grandchild the next time you visit."

"Well… I can't make any promises about that…" Yuan said, smiling awkwardly. Though he understood the Fang family's expectations, the idea of having a child so soon still felt strange to him. On Earth, it was uncommon for someone his age to think about fatherhood.

However, considering that Fang Xiaoyan was a Divine Beast—a Phoenix—the notion of having a child with her seemed less daunting, given that it could take thousands of years for her to give birth.

A few minutes later, Yuan commanded the Secret Realm to open a portal to the outside world. As the master of the realm, Yuan wielded near-divine control, able to shape the landscape or expel anyone with a mere thought. Shortly, a swirling portal appeared in the air, revealing the outside world through a slightly blurry image.

"Xiaoyan, don't disappoint us once you're outside. And remember what we've said—you need to be pregnant before you return," Fang Ling said, her voice firm but affectionate.

"Mom! Stop saying things like that—it's so embarrassing!" Fang Xiaoyan shouted, turning her flushed face away from her mother in exasperation.

"Well, everyone, it's time for us to leave. Take care of yourselves," Yuan said to the Fang family before entering the portal.

Anna and the others thanked the Fang family for their hospitality before following Yuan. Fang Xiaoyan glanced one last time at her parents and grandparents before entering the portal herself.

Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm, King Richard stood staring at the massive stone gate, which began to tremble after a few minutes.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves! Something is about to happen!" he shouted loudly, alerting everyone in the vicinity.

"Father! What's happening? Why is the ground shaking all of a sudden?" Prince Tristan came running with a panicked expression.

Concubine Aurelia followed closely behind, her face full of concern. She quickly cast a protective spell, preparing in case a monster suddenly appeared.

"I-Is this about the strange crack in the sky?" Aurelia mumbled, her voice trembling as she scanned the area for any sign of the crack.

"It seems so... but we don't know when or how it will appear," King Richard replied grimly. The tension in the air was palpable as the wind began to pick up, growing stronger by the second.

"Your Majesty, please step back. It's dangerous to be this close to the Stone Gate!" Captain Claus warned, his instincts telling him something was off.

"Captain Claus is right, Your Majesty. I can sense danger from the gate," Mr. Walton added as he arrived at the scene.

Moments later, Robert arrived just as the space inside the Stone Gate began to fluctuate, as if the very fabric of reality was twisting.

"Everyone, get ready! The crack is about to open!" Robert shouted as soon as he noticed the changes.

At his words, everyone readied their weapons, taking positions to defend against whatever might emerge.

"Wait! Don't attack right away! Lady Valeria and the others might come through as well," Prince Tristan quickly cautioned, considering the possibility.

A few seconds later, a massive crack appeared, revealing a black void. A figure stepped out from the darkness.

"Finally, we're back! It's good to be home!" Yuan laughed as he emerged, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
