Under Xu Nian's persuasion, Meng Dongnan also gave up the immediate opportunity to ascend. For them, ascension could happen anytime, but the risks were indeed real. However, they were very clear that with the help of the Profound Yellow Sect, their ascension would certainly be effortless. Yet, with the situation in the Upper Realm unclear, even Xu Nian believed it was best not to rush. So, they reluctantly relinquished this chance.
Not just the Great Dream Immortal Sect, but the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect had also decided against it. After waiting so many years, they were not in a hurry.
Zhao Ritian left the Great Dream Immortal Sect with Xu Nian. They were both preparing to ascend and saw no need to waste any more time.
