My Celestial Ascension

Yuan, Lily, and their mother Anna were all present in a fairly big room, cuddling each other in a big bed. For more than 30 minutes, they have been embracing one another. Having lost track of time due to Anna's recovery from her illness today, they were emotionally overwhelmed. The three of them are still pleased with it, despite the fact it was merely a short-term fix.

"Let's stop here; it's almost lunchtime... In the meantime, you help Mom get used to walking again! ... We'll be eating in the dining room together today for the first time in a long time, so I'll go ask the maid to make something special for the occasion." Stating that Lily hastily exited the room, leaving Yuan and his mother alone themselves.

ραпdα n?νa| сom Yuan assisted his mother in getting accustomed to walking again after his sister left the room. She struggled to stand properly at first, like a baby, but after a few attempts, she was able to stand on her own without the need for Yuan's assistance.

"Now that you can stand properly, Mom, why don't you try walking by yourself?" Yuan stated that after witnessing his mother's ability to stand properly without losing control of her legs, it is also important for him to begin his cultivation after witnessing the pill's miracle.

"Alright! Let me try it then," Anna said, moving her leg carefully and taking her first step in a very long time. She immediately attempted to take a second stride but found herself on the verge of falling due to a loss of balance.

"Mom! Careful!" She is about to hit the ground when Yuan takes her by the waist and stops her. "You shouldn't rush things right now; instead, take your time and accustomed to it thoroughly first."

"..."

"..."

The words he was about to speak to her again became stuck in his tongue and he was unable to get them out as he pressed his face against his mother's. When their lips were ready to make contact and they each felt the heat of the other's breath, they both momentarily stopped.

'This is my son and nothing else, calm down, why my heart is beating so quickly, yet I must admit, he is indeed very handsome!' She thought. His brown eyes, now slightly golden, caught Anna's attention as she mused to herself. As each second passed, her heartbeat became faster.

Yuan, meanwhile, just keeps staring into her eyes. The two of them remain stationary, unconcerned about their surroundings as they continue to stare into one another's eyes.

Tap! Tap!

"Mom! Someone is coming! Yuan said this as he heard footsteps outside the room, jolting his mother back to reality.

"huh? Ah, yes..." she exclaimed with her face flushed red, and she took a step away from him.

"From now on, you should be more cautious, Mom!" Yuan explained with a slightly blushing face, that he had never had a close relationship with a woman in his previous life and died a virgin.

"Umm," He received simply a head nod from Anna, who then turned her head aside.

They couldn't look into one other's eyes directly, which made the situation uncomfortable for both of them.

Click!

A gorgeous woman with a graceful and elegant body in her late 20s who was dressed as a maid soon entered the room after the door opened. This was Emma, and he knew her right away from the memories he had. She has been working for their family for more than 20 years, long before Lily and Yuan were born. She is devoted to Anna, his mother because it was she who brought her out of the slum at the age of nine and raised her as her own.

Emma froze when she saw Yuan and Anna standing by herself and appearing to be in excellent health; tears began to flow from Anna's eyes.

"Mistress? You've truly recovered! I believed Young Miss was playing a joke on me. But it's the truth! Mistress, I'm very delighted for you." She had prayed to the gods every day to cure Anna's illness, but it was all in vain because no one could cure her. As she watched Anna stand by herself, she was overcome with emotion, causing her to cry.

"I appreciate it, Emma. Yet, my healing is only temporary, so there is little reason to rejoice. Anyway, is the lunch ready yet? It's been a long time now, I haven't had a satisfying meal." Anna was anticipating her lunch because she was feeling better and could eat whatever she wanted. She eventually became tired of the flavor of oatmeal and was only eating it because she was unable to eat anything else.

"Well, I almost forgot why I came here in the first place... Young master and mistress, the meal has been prepared; please come down as soon as possible before it gets cold." Emma responded with a weird smile on her face.

Anna nodded, "Well, you go first; we'll be there in a minute." Emma then made a small bow in Anna's direction and walked out.

When Emma spoke with his mother, one thing Yuan noticed was that Emma's tongue was very long and separated into two sections like a snake's; also, her eyes are snake-like yellow, and her ears are somewhat more pointed than those of a human. It proves that she is a member of the snake tribe of the beastman race; otherwise, how would you explain her having a snake-like tongue and yellow eyes?

"Let's eat lunch together while it's still hot so we don't make them wait too long!" Yuan commented while supporting his mother's proper gait by holding her hand.

Anna's face flushed and her heartbeat quickened as Yuan suddenly took her hand, but she showed no signs of rejection.

'Calm down me, there is nothing between us; he's only assisting me in walking appropriately!' They were leaving the room slowly, and she was attempting to calm down while she thought to herself.

As they made their way to the dining room, Anna carefully inspected every inch of the house. After taking a few steps, she began to understand how to walk by herself, albeit slowly, and Yuan closely followed her while keeping an eye on her.

"It's still the same as it was in the past!" When she spoke, she grinned and turned to face the living room. She can still clearly recall Yuan and Lily's previous playtime in this space.

There is no portrait of Yuan and Lily's father because their mother disliked him and was compelled to wed Jacob because he was the third child born to Count Blank by his concubine and hence could not be considered Noble. Because of this, after getting married to Anna, he left the Blank household and enlisted in the kingdom army as a high-ranking magic knight. However, two months after Yuan was born, he passed away defending a city from a beast tide. The old Yuan only heard what Anna had to say about his father and stopped asking further questions because he had never met him.

"Mom! You can look around the house at a later time; now just let's eat our meal first."

"Okay, sweetie, let's go!" Yuan's suggestion was accepted by Anna because she was also peckish at the time, and the two of them immediately went to the dining area to eat lunch.

As soon as they entered the dining room, Lily and Emma were already there, waiting for them.

"Mom! You can look around the house at a later time, now just let's have our lunch first."

"Alright Dear, let's go!" Anna agreed with Yuan as she was feeling hungry right now, the two of them directly head towards the dining room to have lunch.

Soon they reached the dining room and saw Lily and Emma waiting for them to arrive.

"Little brother, you two took your time getting here!" Lily stated as she had a slightly envious expression on her face for Yuan.

"Sigh! It wasn't his fault; instead, I am to blame because I was moving slowly due to my limitations!"

"I'm not at all blaming you, Mom! Sister Emma, would you kindly bring the food and join us? "Lily spoke with her mother before instructing Emma to bring them food.

Emma was serving food for them at the table as Yuan and others took their seats. Emma then set down an extra chair that was available.

When everyone had finished eating, Yuan was the first because he was eager to try cultivation and didn't want to spend any more time.

"I'm done! I'll be relaxing in my room if you need anything... Mom, you should rest today as you just recovered and your body is very weak at the moment." When he finished speaking, he walked out of the dining area and into his room.

"Young lady, I sense that the young master has changed; he now exudes a sense of maturity... In my personal view, it's a good thing for everyone. Don't you think so? " Emma said as she cut a piece of meat from her plate. She then cast a quick at glance Lily's way out of the corner of her eye. ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ

"I suppose you could say that, since it's his age of maturity, which is typical for him to get mature," Lily responded after hearing Emma's statements.

"Indeed! Children grow very quickly. Regrettably, I was unable to provide him with a proper childhood, but I will now support him in any way I can." Anna sighed, as she was unable to see him grow up as a child due to her illness. She has now promised herself that she will support him by remaining close to him.

"From now on, I'll also do everything I can to support him as much as I can!" "I am his big sister after all," Lily said, heaving up a little bit of her chest.

"You still behave like a child, my daughter, hahaha! Anna scoffed.

After returning to his bedroom, Yuan sat down on his bed in a relaxed manner. Even though he was eager to cultivate for the first time, he didn't want to rush things because he wanted to experience how it felt to cultivate peacefully in real life.

"Hey, Nora! ... How long will the pill's effect last?" He doesn't know how long the high-grade healing pill will last after he gave it to his mother because he doesn't know how long it will take for the effect to wear off. It will be difficult if his mother's condition deteriorates before he obtains a cultivation technique for her to cultivate.

[Normally, the pill's effect wears off in an hour, but because your mother is mortal, the effect will last a day. Don't overthink it; all you need to do is begin your cultivation, and then you can purchase a Divine-grade technique for your mother from the system shop.] Nora informed him of his mother's current situation.

Fine, I'll follow your instructions; please, Nora, bring out the cultivation method. Yuan said, A golden-colored book soon materialized in his right hand.

Yuan clutched the book in both of his hands, saying, "So this is how skill books look in real life; it's a very strange feeling to touch it in hand." The book's cover is inscribed with numerous symbols that he is unfamiliar with, and it exudes a profound aura. Yuan had the impression that he had something divine.

[Come out of your trance, host, cross your legs, open the book, and start learning the technique right away!] Nora said this as she watched him doze off instead of concentrating on learning the technique.

"Right, ohh!" He snapped out of his trance when he heard Nora's voice within his thoughts and cautiously opened the book. He observed the page was written in a bizarre, symbolic language that he couldn't understand as he opened the book.

He persisted in reading the book even though he was unable to comprehend a single word of what it was. He closed his eyes, unaware that he was doing so. After closing his eyes, he experienced a sense of renewal and relaxation similar to that of taking a cool shower during a hot day. It appeared as though something was hypnotizing him.

He gradually began comprehending the words in the book, and knowledge he had never known was being fed into his head as the book's enigmatic phrases looked to become less gibberish. This went on for almost an hour before he was awakened by a sharp female computerized voice.

[Ding! You have successfully learned Heaven's Secret Arts!]

"Heaven's Secret Arts... Sounds quite imposing!" Yuan remarked while beaming broadly.

(I know you guys will say the name of the technique is a copy from Cultivation Online by MLB, but let me tell you this: I will be using his technique's names and characters only in this novel and nothing else. And why am I using it? Because I like how it sounds.)
