Before this, Gu Xiaoyue's appearance in the Heavenly Realm had already made Ye Yun feel quite astonished.
But now, it wasn't just her; these two people had also arrived in the Heavenly Realm.
The former Palace Mistress of Featherfall Immortal Palace, Yu Wenya, and the Palace Mistress of Exquisite Immortal Palace, Lan Zhaoyue, were also here!
And judging by their cultivation, both Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue had just reached the Saint realm, while Gu Xiaoyue had reached the Profound Immortal realm.
Ye Yun said with great surprise, "The three of you have actually come to the Heavenly Realm?!"
This was a rare instance where he was genuinely shocked by others.
Logically, one could not traverse the Ascension Channel to reach the Heavenly Realm before the Saint realm.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall would never allow them to pass through the Ascension Channel, and it was impossible for them to have reached the Saint realm in such a short time on the Profound Sky Continent.
"Yes, Senior Ye, are you very surprised?!"
Gu Xiaoyue, as usual, smiled and leaned in, or rather, hugged him.
Completely unfazed by the gazes like sharp blades from the others present, she hugged Ye Yun's arm and said coquettishly.
"It's been so many years since we last met, Senior Ye, and you've become even more handsome!"
Ye Yun found her flattery amusing and a bit speechless, but it was true.
"Yes, thinking about it, it has been over three years since we last met."
Ye Yun also showed a look of nostalgia, smiling as he gently stroked her head and said with approval.
"Mmm, you seem to have matured quite a bit."
Both in terms of spirit and physique, she had changed a lot from before.
From a flat chest to a "hillock," it was a significant improvement.
Gu Xiaoyue clearly relished his praise.
She proudly puffed out her chest, as if showcasing something, and said with an air of confidence.
"Of course! I've been diligently exercising all these years, so naturally, I've grown!"
This tone and personality brought Ye Yun a sense of nostalgia.
Indeed, even though her appearance had changed, her inner self was still the same Gu Xiaoyue.
At this moment, Yu Wenya spoke with a smile, her tone as mature and steady as ever.
"Senior Ye, it's been a long time. You've truly become more powerful."
Now that she had reached the Saint realm, she found herself unable to see through Ye Yun at all, lamenting the vast difference between them.
Ye Yun replied with a faint smile, "Miss Yu, you are also doing well. Reaching the Saint realm at your age is unheard of on the Profound Sky Continent."
However, Yu Wenya could only offer a wry smile to this compliment.
"What's the point of being powerful on the Profound Sky Continent? In this Heavenly Realm, the Saint realm is merely the lowest rung."
Since coming to the Heavenly Realm and experiencing its cultivation system, her views on cultivation and even her worldview had been somewhat shattered.
The realm she once yearned for was nothing here.
This immense gap had caused Yu Wenya to fall into a state of melancholy for a long time.
Ye Yun said with a gentle smile, "The path of cultivation is walked step by step. As long as you work hard, I believe that with your talent, you will eventually stand at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm."
Although saying "step by step" coming from his mouth was a little shameless.
But when comforting someone, one should be as realistic as possible.
Fortunately, Yu Wenya was not overly sensitive. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said.
"This junior understands. I will cultivate diligently."
"You, you think too much."
Lan Zhaoyue suddenly interjected, mocking her. It was evident that even after all this time, there was still a subtle tension between them.
After teasing Yu Wenya, Lan Zhaoyue turned her gaze to Ye Yun and asked with interest.
"Senior Ye, I heard that you are now an elder of Mount Chaofeng?"
"That's right. Is there a problem?"
"Just a remark. As expected of you, you've quickly climbed the ranks in the Heavenly Realm."
"It's alright, just alright."
Ye Yun was quite humble about Lan Zhaoyue's exclamation.
Clearly, in her eyes, Ye Yun had undoubtedly risen to become an elder at Mount Chaofeng through his own excellence. As for the truth...
Ye Yun coughed lightly and looked at the sword-wielding woman in a grey dress beside him.
Her waterfall-like red hair cascaded down to her slender waist, her strands swaying in the night breeze. Coupled with her demeanor, she truly possessed a heroic aura.
"This must be the rumored Empress Yaoye, Miss Yu Xian'er?"
Although she was likely tens of times older than him, since they were both Emperor-tier cultivators, he didn't address her as "Senior."
Yu Xian'er nodded slightly and replied.
"Indeed. Are you, sir, the Senior Ye, Ye Yun, that Xiao Yue spoke of?"
Ye Yun also nodded and said with a smile.
"That's right. Xiao Yue has been under your care during this time, Miss Yu."
Although he didn't know how Gu Xiaoyue and the others had appeared in the Void Abyss.
Given how dangerous that place was, if she hadn't taken them in as disciples, they would have likely been killed by someone long ago with their strength.
Yu Xian'er smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to thank me. She is my disciple, and it is my duty to look after her."
At this moment, Yu Xian'er's gaze swept over the other people at the banquet, and her surprise grew with each glance.
Among those present, there were four Emperor-tier cultivators. The girls who looked to be around Xiao Yue's age had also reached the astonishing Heavenly Immortal realm.
And even more incredibly, there was one person whose Xuan Qi realm she couldn't fathom, which was truly unbelievable...
Finally, however, her gaze fell upon Xing Wu, and her beautiful eyes narrowed.
"This... are you Senior Xing Wu?"
This address made Ye Yun, standing beside her, pause. Yu Xian'er was calling his wife Xing Wu "Senior"?
Just as he was wondering, Xing Wu glanced at her and smiled.
"It's you, little Yaoye from back then. You haven't changed at all, but your cultivation has improved quite a bit."
"You flatter me, Senior. No matter how I've progressed, I can't compare to you."
Yu Xian'er replied with great respect.
This made Ye Yun even more astonished, and he couldn't help but ask.
"You two, could it be that you knew each other before?"
Xing Wu nodded and said with a faint smile.
"Not exactly know each other. It's just that when she first entered the Emperor tier, I gave her some pointers. We haven't seen each other since."
"Is that so..."
Ye Yun mused thoughtfully, feeling a bit emotional. His wife Xing Wu's life was quite extraordinary.
It felt like her story alone could fill a novel.
Then, Ye Yun asked again.
"By the way, Miss Yu, do you have any important matters for coming here this time?"
"Ah, that's because of my new disciple."
Yu Xian'er looked at Gu Xiaoyue, then at Ye Yun, and said with some helplessness.
"I don't know why she likes you so much. After hearing about you, and learning that you were being ambushed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall here, she threatened to stake her life to force me to come and help you."
"Uh, is that true?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xiaoyue with a hint of helplessness.
Gu Xiaoyue put on a serious expression and nodded.
"Of course, it's true! I intend to be your immortal consort, so when you're in danger, I naturally have to help you with all my might!"
She said this with complete sincerity, completely oblivious to the glint in the eyes of the others at the banquet...
And when Ye Yun heard her words, he anticipated something and his expression towards Gu Xiaoyue became particularly interesting.
"Damn it, so this little girl isn't here to save me, but to light a powder keg?"
