My Celestial Ascension



However, the guard ignored Layla's anger and quickly burst out, "Please forgive me for my sudden intrusion, Madam Layla! This is an emergency! There are thousands of monsters from Pine Mountain rushing toward our village as we speak!"

"What?!" Rose immediately stood up, her face filled with surprise. "The Wyvern is already attacking us? But the scouts we sent to scout the area informed us that the monsters wouldn't attack until tomorrow morning! This is too sudden!"

"How despicable! How can they give us the wrong information? Aren't they worried about the lives of the innocent villagers?" Layla's voice resonated with anger. She couldn't fathom that those they had provided for would betray them, not only to the Monroe family but to their own people as well. The shamelessness of it all infuriated her.

"Whatever, I will deal with whoever betrayed us by giving the wrong intel after we settle this situation," Rose said with a sigh, realizing that they couldn't afford to dwell on the betrayers at the moment. They had a greater problem to face.

Turning to Yuan and his wives, Rose apologized sincerely, "I deeply apologize for this, especially since you've just filled your stomachs with food, but it appears that the wyvern is growing impatient and has already started attacking our village."

She continued, her voice filled with urgency, "I know it's very inappropriate to ask, but please lend us your strength to deal with the monsters. I beg of you!"

Grace shook her head firmly and said, "Haven't we already said that we won't go back on our word? So why are you asking again? And since we're full, it means we have more energy to spare."

<A Mission has been assigned to the Host!>

<Mission: Defend the Pinebrook village.>

<Difficulty: Medium>

<Mission Description: Defend the Pinebrook village from the Wyvern and its army.>

<Mission Reward: A drop of Phoenix Blood>

<Mission Failure: Death of Rose Monroe>

[Will you accept this mission?][Yes/No]

"Yes..." Yuan said, his voice filled with determination.

"A drop of Phoenix Blood, huh? Not bad..." Yuan muttered as he read the content of the mission provided by the system. He knew the value of Phoenix blood, as it was one of the most precious items in the cultivation world. However, Phoenix tears held an even greater value, as they could awaken powerful bloodlines. The difficulty of obtaining Phoenix tears made them truly priceless, as the proud Phoenix rarely shed tears even in the face of great sorrow.

Nora's voice echoed in Yuan's mind. [Host, Phoenix blood has the ability to awaken one's bloodline. It is highly valuable, as it can help you awaken your hidden bloodline.]

"Really? I thought it only increased lifespan and cured illnesses. I had no idea it had the power to awaken one's bloodline," Yuan responded, surprised by the newfound knowledge.

A moment later, Yuan turned his attention to Rose and declared, "We will help you deal with those monsters, no matter the cost."

Rose immediately ordered the guard, "Gather all the hunters and mages and prepare to defend the village!"

Once the guard left, Rose turned to her younger brother and sisters and assigned them a crucial task. "I want the three of you to help evacuate the citizens and protect the children from any monsters that may have infiltrated the village secretly."

"Yes, Elder Sister!" they nodded in unison.

Soon after, Rose rushed outside to oversee the preparations and defense of the village. Layla, filled with gratitude and concern, approached Yuan with a bow.

"Please take care of us, Yuan," she said, looking at Yuan and his wives with hope.

"Don't worry, Miss Layla. We will utilize everything we have to save this peaceful village from the wyvern," Anna reassured with a warm smile, speaking on behalf of Yuan.

A moment later, Yuan quickly said to his wives, "Let's go!"

Yuan and his wives raced towards the village entrance, where a vast assembly of hunters and mages had gathered to defend against the approaching monster army. The warriors wore armor resembling that of the guards they had encountered earlier, while the mages stood in their distinctive, flowing robes.

"There are so many hunters and mages here..." Yuan remarked, surprised by the sheer numbers.

Shortly after, an excited voice erupted from the crowd. "The monsters are here!"

At that proclamation, the warriors swiftly drew their swords and the mages readied their magic wands, preparing to face the oncoming onslaught.

Within moments, a horde of thousands of monsters, ranging from B-Rank to D-Rank, could be seen hurtling towards the protective walls of the village.

"DEFEND THE VILLAGE! DO NOT LET A SINGLE MONSTER PASS INSIDE!" 

The guard roared, his voice reverberating through the air. The atmosphere shifted, transforming the open field into a battlefield as mages and hunters engaged in fierce combat with the oncoming monsters.

Yuan, along with his two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister Lily, and his beloveds, Emma and Xi Meili, all joined the fray, unleashing their attacks on the encroaching creatures.

A moment later, Yuan swiftly beheaded five monsters with his sword, effortlessly displaying his strength without relying on any specific technique. He then advanced towards the front line, where numerous low-ranking hunters had been slain by the stronger monsters. 

Yuan continued to dispatch the creatures with ease, his newfound power surpassing his previous encounter with the Orc army.

Yuan's wives followed suit, dispatching the low-ranked monsters with ease. They didn't need to rely on techniques or special abilities to defeat the 'C' and 'D' ranked creatures. With each precise movement of their wrists, a monster fell lifeless to the ground.

The monsters slain by Yuan and his wives didn't even have the chance to scream before meeting their demise. As Rose observed the incredible display of their effortless kills, her eyes widened with admiration and awe.

Yuan and his wives were spirit masters, with Xi Meili being the strongest among them. Against monsters devoid of spiritual energy but relying on mana, they were at a significant advantage. The monsters proved no match for their cultivation prowess, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the park rather than engaging in a life-or-death battle.

The mages and hunters on the battlefield couldn't help but take notice of the dominating presence of Yuan and his wives. Their awe-inspiring power and skill captivated everyone around them. 

"Who are those people? They're slaughtering monsters like helpless chickens!"

"That young man must be a high-ranking knight from the kingdom!"

"Forget the young man! Look at those beauties beside him! They're effortlessly taking down the monsters, some even with their bare hands!"

"Where did Madam Monroe find such formidable individuals to deal with the monsters?"

The onlookers watched in awe as Emma and Xi Meili displayed their incredible strength. With each punch, they crushed monster heads, causing them to explode like watermelons. The sight left everyone astonished.

At this point, Yuan and his wives had already dispatched over a hundreds of monsters without breaking a sweat, all without utilizing their full techniques.

Meanwhile, the others struggled to defeat even a single monster, despite most of them being at the C-rank level. The mages found their spells growing less effective as their mana reserves dwindled, and the hunters grew exhausted swinging their heavy weapons.

'Just how many monsters are there?!' Yuan, after killing over 300 monsters, found himself surrounded and wondered how many more there were. It was a daunting situation.

"Yuan, the beasts that are coming here are growing stronger. At this rate, we won't survive until the Wyvern arrives!" Rose urgently informed him.

"I understand," Yuan replied.

A moment later, Yuan turned to his wives and said, "It's time to unleash our true power. Let's use our techniques and take this fight seriously, as the monsters grow stronger by the minute."

"We understand," they nodded in agreement.

'Getting serious? Have they been holding back until now? Goodness, how powerful are they?' Rose exclaimed inwardly, taken aback by Yuan's words.

Yuan raised his sword towards the heavens and focused his gaze on the monsters. He prepared to utilize a new technique he had acquired.

"Heavenly Sanctuary," Yuan whispered in a low voice.

Boom!

Yuan's spirit master cultivation base surged, and an ancient aura enveloped him. The dark night sky brightened, and a radiant golden light illuminated the area within a 50-meter radius, as if it were bathed in daylight.

"What is this golden light? What's happening?"

"Could it be a powerful spell?"

"No, there's no mana in this blinding light. But it feels profound and overwhelming. My body trembles in its presence!"

"Could it be a divine ability? Like that of a god?"

The mages, hunters, and guards stood in astonishment, perplexed by the phenomenon unfolding before their eyes.

'Just what kind of person are you, Yuan?' Rose pondered, her expression filled with surprise at the revelation.

The battlefield was now consumed by the extraordinary aura emanating from Yuan. The monsters hesitated, and even the most battle-hardened warriors couldn't help but feel a mix of awe, reverence, and fear in the presence of this overwhelming power.
