Five days after Chen Jiaxing's death, the Chen family still had not reported it to the authorities.
I visited the Chen family and discovered that there were more individuals with a Demonic Aura than just Chen Jiaxing.
Clearly, Chen Jiaxing's departure was anticipated by them.
I seized the opportunity to eliminate a lone Demonic Cultivator from the Chen family.
Meanwhile, my father and brother uncovered evidence of the Chen family's illegal activities, which helped dismantle the Chen Group, making my mission to eradicate evil much smoother.
Unfortunately, due to the constraints of heavenly law, I could only confront these demons head-on during my exorcisms.
While exorcising demons was troublesome, it did have its advantages.
For instance, I was unable to absorb Spiritual Energy, which hindered my cultivation progress.
However, with each demon I eliminated, my cultivation would increase slightly.
That day, I returned home feeling utterly exhausted.
I initially thought about performing a cleansing technique but decided instead to take a shower in the bathroom.
Afterward, I prepared to go to sleep.
At that moment, Shen Mengyi arrived.
I stood by my bed for a long time, struggling to say a word.
Not wanting to waste any more time with her, I coldly said, "Just say what you need to say."
As soon as my words fell, there was a loud sound, and Shen Mengyi let out a big fart.
Her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
"Shen Chun Ning, I will never apologize to you. You don't deserve it!"
She stormed off in anger.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Alright, I know you came to apologize. I forgive you."
In response, I was met with the sound of a door slamming shut.
My demon-slaying activities gradually expanded beyond the city.
The time I spent at home grew shorter while my time outside increased.
Until the last demon in this world was eliminated by me.
And the Spiritual Energy within me was already overflowing, on the verge of ascension.
I forcefully suppressed my Spiritual Energy, avoiding the Ascension Thunder Tribulation.
At this moment, it had been three years since I returned to the Shen Family.
My brother had long since entered the company, managing it with great efficiency.
Under his leadership, the company was subtly trending upwards.
Shen Mengyi was attending Hai City Film Academy, and during her time there, she participated in a Youth Idol Drama that made her an overnight sensation.
Our parents had already begun their retirement life, spending their days gardening and casually chatting with me.
Right now, I was sitting down to rest, using my Spiritual Energy to mend the wounds caused by battling demons.
Then, I received another message from my mother.
Aside from the usual questions about how powerful the demons were and whether I had been injured, she also asked, "When are you coming back? It's been half a year since we last saw you; we miss you so much."
I could feel her sense of grievance even through the screen.
I smiled and replied, "In half an hour."
Then I got up, changed into clean clothes, and used a spatial technique to return to the Shen Family right on time.
At that moment, my parents, brother, and Shen Mengyi were all at home.
Unlike our parents' calm demeanor.
My brother and Shen Mengyi were still catching their breath, clearly having rushed back upon receiving the news.
"Brother, if I remember correctly, you were in a high-level meeting."
"Ah, what’s a meeting compared to you?"
I turned to Shen Mengyi.
"It seems like you were filming a movie? That role was hard-won for you; aren’t you afraid of offending the director?"
"Don’t flatter yourself. I didn’t come back for you; it’s just... I got tired of filming."
She had a proud look on her face.
I chuckled, not wanting to burst her bubble.
After that, my brother, Shen Mengyi, and I settled on the sofa to watch television.
Our parents went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ever since Dad retired, they both preferred to handle many things themselves.
After dinner, we all sat together chatting casually.
My brother and Dad exchanged playful banter over some company decisions.
Shen Mengyi shared some juicy gossip from the entertainment industry.
I will share my experience of going out.
The atmosphere was warm and joyful.
Laughter filled the living room, and suddenly I understood why Tribulation had failed before.
It was because I had never felt the warmth of family.
Now that I had experienced it, I found myself longing for Qin Qing.
Ascension had always been my pursuit, but now, I surprisingly felt… reluctant to leave.
As I pondered this, the spiritual energy within me suddenly began to stir again.
I quickly closed my eyes, trying to suppress the Spiritual Energy.
When I opened my eyes again, I met four pairs of concerned gazes.
"I'm fine," I smiled at them.
As long as I didn't wish to ascend, the Heavenly Dao could do nothing to me.
But Mother held my hand and said to me, "Ning Ning, you should go!"
"I know, you should have left long ago. It's because of us that you've stayed so long; it's enough."
"We have never been a stumbling block for you; we are your support on this journey. So, go!"
They did not realize when their tears had begun to flow freely.
Shen Mengyi cried out, "Once you leave, don't come back. I don't want to see you again."
This time, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief in my heart.
My eyes grew warm.
As the tears fell, I nodded.
I faced the Ascension Thunder Tribulation once more.
During the final lightning strike, I glanced down at my parents, brother, and sister, who were looking up at me.
Even though I couldn't see their expressions, I knew their faces were filled with deep concern and expectation.
My inner resolve grew stronger.
When the Immortal Gate opened, I stepped forward and walked in.
I had successfully ascended.
