Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 280 Unwilling to Ascend
The purple-gold calamity clouds in the sky dissipated along with the lightning.

Wanhun Cave was in ruins. The turbulent airflow caused many pieces of debris to float in the air, and the flowers, plants and trees had lost their vitality.

Song Guanglin and Yi Tianxing had completely disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

Song Xinci came to the place where his father died, bent down and grabbed a handful of dust, then spread out his palm, staring blankly at the sand in his palm being blown everywhere by the wind.

Yun Yi was also in an extremely heavy mood. In his original plan, he only intended to use the Burial Sword Valley and Pei Jianjia to make the Demon Lord feel fearful.

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law chose to sacrifice himself and completely eliminate this hidden danger for his daughter.

With Yi Tianxing's cultivation level about to ascend, in this world, only someone in the Ascension Realm can truly kill Yi Tianxing, or else Song Guanglin can do what he did.

But the price is still too high.

Pei Jianjia intended to stay far away and not disturb the newlyweds.

She witnessed the heavenly tribulation killing two people, and for a moment she thought of Yu Wuxia who had failed to survive the tribulation, and felt very upset.

Yu Wuxia almost suffered the same fate. Although she was saved by Pei Jianjia, she was severely damaged by the heavenly tribulation and only survived for a few days before she died of her injuries.

After that, Pei Jianjia used the Golden Lotus of Love and the Ice Soul Jade Bed to try to nurture Yu Wuxia's body, leaving him a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, in the end, it all came to nothing.

Heaven is ruthless, and heavenly tribulations are the embodiment of Heaven's will. It will never be merciful to anyone.

Yun Yi gently stroked his wife's hair and comforted her, "New Porcelain..."

Song Xinci leaned in Yun Yi's arms and suddenly said, "Father's last words before he died were directed to you."

"Well, he asked me to take good care of you."

"That's weird, does he think I can't take care of myself?"

"No, he just wants someone to replace him and be willing to protect you with his life. It has nothing to do with whether you are strong or not."

Song Xinci pressed her chest hard and said, "I thought I wouldn't feel anything, but seeing him go with my own eyes still makes me sad."

Yun Yi said: "If you want to cry, just cry."

"I suffered a lot with my mother since I was little. Later, my grandfather took me to the Buried Sword Valley, and my life became a little better. In fact, during those years, I was always curious about who my father was and why he didn't come to take my mother and me away.

"Mom is waiting for him, and I'm waiting for him too. After waiting for so long, I feel sad whenever I think of him. Perhaps this is the beginning of hatred. I thought I would always hate him, but later I learned that the nameless town was actually created by him using his cultivation, and the hatred gradually faded.

"When my mother died, I was happy for her. Being possessed by evil is not pleasant, and death was a relief for her. I was also happy for my father when he died. He finally ended his bad karma in the world and no longer had to worry about it and be trapped in the past."

Song Xinci was extremely sad. She leaned her head on Yun Yi's shoulder and said softly, "I'm just sad for myself now. It's like after all I've experienced in the world, I've become an orphan in the world."

Yun Yi responded: "Actually, we are all the same."

As the two were talking, the dark clouds that had originally dispersed in the sky showed signs of gathering again.

Yun Yi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Are you...unstable?"

Song Xinci nodded and said, "The more you are free from worldly concerns, the closer you are to the supreme state of forgetfulness."

The third group of purple-gold calamity clouds is about to appear here!

"Not good!" Yun Yi immediately took Song Xinci's hand and flew her towards Pei Jianjia who came to support them.

This senior, with his vast experience, could tell at a glance that something was amiss and warned, "Empty your mind and don't get caught up in the calamity!"

As she spoke, she hurried back to the Sword Burial Valley with the two of them.

Song Xinci tried, but found she couldn't help but feel sad, and the dark clouds above her head followed her all the way. Yun Yi held her shoulders and said to her seriously: "Then think about me, think about our future children."

"child?"

"Yes, do you like boys or girls? If it's a boy, do you like someone like Dou Li?"

Song Xinci shook her head slightly: "Dou Li is not good-looking enough."

The little guy in the Sword Burial Valley sneezed, thinking that he caught a cold from being lazy and playing last night.

Yun Yi said: "Then give birth to a girl who looks like you."

These words seemed to have worked, and the clouds of disaster above Song Xinci's head gradually dissipated.

Pei Jianjia sighed upon seeing this, "Others are all vying for the chance to ascend, cultivating for years in anticipation of the calamity. But for you, it's the complete opposite."

Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "She's just not ready yet."

Song Xinci said, "I'm ready... I won't ascend."

Yun Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't be that easy."

Song Xinci looked at Pei Jianjia and said, "I'll have to ask Sister Pei for advice on this."

Pei Jianjia had successfully ascended to heaven back then, but was still able to stay in the human world. She was indeed very experienced in this matter.

She said, "The cost of staying in the human world after ascending is too high. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sealed myself in the jade figurine and could only rely on the method of possessing another body."

This is true. She is still using the body of Qianji of Tiancan Sect. It is a female soul and a male body. It is so awkward.

"But..." Pei Jianjia changed the subject: "As long as you haven't ascended yet, then as long as you are cut off from ascending, you can stay in the human world."

Song Xinci asked curiously, "What should I do?"

Pei Jianjia: "The Hehuan Sect has a set of formations that can isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and lock the Great Dao."

Yun Yi: "Will this hurt her?"

"Compared to letting Xinci destroy her own cultivation or severely damaging her Dao, this is already the best solution. And if I may be frank, at Xinci's current level, there are probably few people in the world who can harm her. A fierce battle will actually push her closer to the Dao and bring her closer to ascension."

Yun Yi and Song Xinci looked at each other. They both thought for a long time and felt that they could not find a better solution.

The most crucial thing is that both of them have now awakened their memories of their past lives, and they are well aware that a bloody storm will soon break out in the world.

Yun Yi asked, "Senior Pei, can you tell me the secret of that formation?"

Pei Jianjia didn't hold back and said directly, "That formation is called the 'Dragon and Phoenix Soul Locking Formation', and it requires the aid of 'Buxixianxian' to be used. The dragon ring seals the sky, and the phoenix ring locks the earth. Those trapped in the formation are isolated from heaven and earth, and naturally lose their spiritual power."

"But then wouldn't it be impossible to survive?"

"After all, I am a cultivator. I just need to untie the formation before my spiritual power is completely exhausted."

Yun Yi hesitated and said, "It sounds a bit dangerous..."

Pei Jianjia smiled and said, "Don't worry. Buxianxian has already recognized Zhuque as her master. She controls whether it's opened or closed. And I think you should be more worried about something else."

"What's the matter?"

"The deeper Xinci's understanding of the Supreme Forgetfulness Dao becomes, the day will come when the formation will no longer be able to contain her, and it will no longer be possible to prevent her from ascending to the heavens."
