Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 225 No Respect for the Elders

Pei Jianjia took a moment to digest the memories of this body and realized that she had been sleeping for thousands of years and the outside world had already changed.

She also realized the "despicableness" of the man in front of her, but the look she gave Yun Yi was even more admiring.

As a member of the Demon Sect, being mean is always a compliment.

Little do they know that those who practice cultivation and are greedy for immortality and try to seize opportunities from heaven and earth are also despicable acts?
Pei Jianjia exhaled with a sweet breath: "Please speak."

Yun Yi asked, "Why did you give up ascending to the heavens back then?"

"That day, I survived the heavenly tribulation and should have severed all ties with the world. But for some reason, I suddenly felt that entering the heavens without my lover would be too boring, so I gave up the opportunity to ascend."

Zhuque was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that a woman like Pei Jianjia was truly rare, and not everyone could give up on ascending to heaven.

If my young lady and she were born in the same era, it would be hard to say who would be better.

Yun Yi also exclaimed in admiration: "If my guess is correct, Senior forced himself to face the heavenly tribulation in order to vent his anger on your husband. Although you have no intention of ascending, you want to experience the heavenly tribulation that severely injured Yu Wuxia."

Pei Jianjia said happily, "You actually understand me?"

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Senior, you spent so much effort to create Paradise, but why didn't you bring your husband's remains here? Instead, you left the Acacia Scent that opened this place in the underground palace of Broken Jade Mountain."

"With your intelligence, you should be able to come up with the answer."

"Then I'll make a bold guess. I think Senior Yu Wuxia still had a chance of being resurrected. The Red Lotus of Love and the Ice Marrow Jade Bed were both meant to nourish his body, mind, and spirit. However, the chances of resurrection are slim, and it's unknown how many years it would take. You're also unsure whether this will succeed."

Pei Jianjia took over the conversation and said, "Furthermore, Wuxia has been severely damaged by the heavenly tribulation. Just maintaining his physical body consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy. The essence of Jiletian and Yongluotian is a spiritual gathering formation, which can transmit an endless supply of spiritual energy to him through Xiangsi Yin."

Yun Yi: "It's a pity that this move is useless. Senior Yu Wuxia has already turned into dry bones."

After saying that, he took out the wooden box containing Yu Wuxia's body and handed it to Pei Jianjia respectfully.

"Husband..." Pei Jianjia took the corpse and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Although she was using Qianji's appearance at this time, it still revealed a heart-shaking beauty.

Yun Yi added, "So what the senior was thinking back then was that if Yu Wuxia was resurrected successfully, she could find this place through the Acacia Guidance and meet you again."

"Yes."

"Since you wished to reunite with your husband, why did you transform into a jade figurine here?"

Pei Jianjia smiled bitterly and said, "Refusing to ascend is not without cost. Even if I gave up on ascending, I would still become an ascending realm after experiencing the heavenly tribulation. From then on, I would be unable to absorb human spiritual energy and would become increasingly weak.

"So I could only seal the Dao for myself and hide it in the jade figurine, thinking that if my husband comes one day, I will teach him the Dao and allow him to ascend."

Yun Yi: "But if the person who arrived here is not Yu Wuxia, then Senior can just take over her body and revive her soul."

"exactly."

In Yun Yi's opinion, Pei Jianjia's words were half true and half false, and he could not but believe them, nor could he believe them completely.

Combined with the memories of her previous life, Pei Jianjia's reincarnation was the result of a thousand-year-long plan. Perhaps there was a hidden story behind their ascension, and the fact that one of the couple failed to ascend, while the other gave up, was also quite strange.

However, Yun Yi knew that Pei Jianjia would never be open and honest with him, so he stopped asking questions.

Anyway, I have my reservations, and both of them know it very well, so it’s better to be ignorant.

Pei Jianjia changed the subject, "It seems Master Yun knows something about me, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the Acacia Note after I took over this body." Yun Yi said modestly, "Since the Acacia Note can guide its holder to find you, Senior, I would venture to guess that after you took over my body and were reborn, before your cultivation level returned to the Ascension Realm, this Acacia Note was a vital treasure that depended on your life."

This was purely Yun Yi's own speculation, because in the previous life, Pei Jianjia disappeared after she took over another body and was reborn, and Xiangsiyin disappeared with her.

After he said this, he saw that Pei Jianjia's expression only changed slightly, and he felt more determined.

It should be that only the person holding the Acacia Yin can awaken the avenue in the jade figurine. In Pei Jianjia's design, she will immediately take over the body of the person holding the Acacia Yin, so there is no need to worry about the jade pendant falling into the hands of others.

Who would have thought that Yun Yi would suddenly appear and make unconventional moves.

Yun Yi put Xiang Siyin into the jade box prepared in advance in public. The box was filled with array talismans. Even if there was a secret hidden in the jade pendant, it could not be used at this moment.

Pei Jianjia's eyes were filled with helplessness, and she asked again, "What do you want?"

"I should be the one asking this question, Senior." Yun Yi said, "If Senior set up this trap just to see my husband again, I do have a solution."

Pei Jianjia's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and she said excitedly: "Yu Wuxia is already dead, don't lie to me!"

"Senior, have you ever heard of the Wuxiang Divine Art?"

This is Pei Jianjia's blind spot in knowledge. When she was roaming the world, there was no such person as Zhao Wuxiang, so naturally she had never heard of the "Wuxiang Dao".

Yun Yi explained, "The Wuxiang Divine Art allows one to transform into anyone in the world, and no matter the appearance, cultivation level, or personality, every aspect is exactly the same. However, there is a requirement for using this technique, and that is that the person being transformed must be dead, and a corpse must be left behind."

Pei Jianjia looked down at the wooden box in her hand. The skeleton of Yu Wuxia in it was obviously the key prop to perform the Wuxiang magic.

"So if Senior only wants to meet 'Yu Wuxia' to fulfill his wish, the Wuxiang Divine Art can be a way to quench his thirst."

"Do you know this technique?"

"I can't, but I know someone who can."

Pei Jianjia pondered for a moment and handed the wooden box containing the bones to Yun Yi. "As long as you help me do this, I promise to do something for you."

"Just one?"

"If you really have a way to revive my husband for me, I will be at your disposal."

The two looked at each other and made their own calculations.

Yun Yi asked, "Senior, can you tell me the truth? How much of your current cultivation level can you really utilize?"

Pei Jianjia answered openly, "I'm not yet capable of displaying the cultivation of the Ascension Realm, but I can certainly fake the aura of the Ascension Realm to scare people."

"In this case, I only hope that at this critical moment of life and death, I still hope that the senior will help me."

"If you want me to recover my strength to the Ascension Realm and work for you, I'm afraid you'll need to find me a new body first... For example, that little girl is a good choice. She's just entered the Return to Void Realm and hasn't yet comprehended her own path. She's just the right person to absorb and accommodate my 'Browling Dao'."

Yun Yi heard some hidden meaning from the words. Pei Jianjia was unable to take over the Hedao realm because the Hedao realm was integrated with her own Dao and could not accommodate her Huamei Dao.

Of course, he couldn't betray Zhuque, so he asked tentatively, "Then how can I help you take over this girl's body?"

Pei Jianjia suddenly laughed and said, "You have no intention of helping me at all, yet you try to deceive me."
