Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 135

“Magical Artifact?

This is serious!

Having a magical artifact without even becoming an Immortal? Later, taking down Tribulation Stage folks will be as easy as killing a chicken?!

“Cool, cool,” Ye Junlin rubbed his chin with a playful smile.

“Get ready, we’re heading to Wendaozong.”

Li Wujie was taken aback, admiration flickering in his eyes, “Master, as expected of you! Knowing there’s a tiger on the mountain, you’re going straight toward it? This is to personally rescue more of our kin in Gongzhou!”

You see, Gongzhou is currently facing an invasion from the dark races, with top assassins targeting powerful Tribulation Stage warriors, leaving every major faction exhausted and on edge. Even the Number One Immortal Sect in Gongzhou, Wendaozong, has been deeply affected.

In such a dire situation, Master is actually willing to step up and bravely head to Gongzhou to assist—what a noble act!

As the saying goes,

It’s human nature to admire the strong.

But compared to merely worshipping might, virtuous strong individuals earn even more respect!

So seeing his Master take immediate action upon hearing of Wendaozong’s crisis, Li Wujie felt deeply moved—this proves his Master is precisely that kind of virtuous strong being!

“I’m Li Wujie, I sure picked the right person to follow.”

Li Wujie took a deep breath, thinking to himself.

Hong Qianye shot a surprised look over.

She didn’t expect this normally scatterbrained guy to have such noble intentions!

Could it be she had misjudged him before?

Ye Junlin had no idea that his one action caused these two disciples to overthink so much.

After all, for someone from another world, whether saving the masses or just watching from the sidelines, what’s important is to act on impulse and enjoy oneself.

Going to Wendaozong to sign in could earn him a legendary magical artifact, and if conditions allow or he’s in the mood, he might as well help others out, gaining a good reputation—why not do things in the way that feels best?

“Ah Kun!”

At the sound of the call.

Ripples appeared on the lake in the back mountain as a giant creature that looked like a blue whale leaped out of the water, wings flapping and soaring into the sky, instantly changing size, radiating a terrifying royal aura.

Recently, Kunpeng has improved in strength thanks to the beast feed, boasting cultivation already at the mid-Tribulation Stage, and with its rare divine beast bloodline, its battle power is off the charts.

Even peak Tribulation Stage cultivators would hesitate to suppress it, perhaps thinking twice before engaging.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Junlin and the others climbed onto Kunpeng, which let out a loud cry, setting off for their destination.

Rumble, rumble~

The sky darkened as a massive creature swept by, stirring up tremendous gusts, causing countless trees to rustle wildly.

This huge commotion drew the attention of the cultivators from Xuantian Sect, who looked up, pointing and exclaiming in surprise.

“Damn, that’s the special mount of Master Ye!”

“Where’s he off to in such a hurry?”

“Hiss, I can feel that mount’s aura seems to have become even stronger!”

“Goodness, how many cultivators spend their whole lives trying to match up to its cultivation? And it’s just a mount of Master Ye—such is the aura of the big shots!”

Whispers erupted all around.

For Xuantian Sect, Ye Junlin is the superstar in everyone’s eyes, every move he makes draws attention.

So when this sudden commotion occurred, it naturally became the hottest topic in the sect.

In the main hall.

Sect Master Xu Yonian’s gaze was fearsome and charged with electric power, as if he could summon divine retribution with a mere movement.

His cultivation was already at the early Tribulation Stage.

“The tea from Young Master Ye is truly remarkable~” Xu Yonian picked up the fragrant tea cup, savoring a sip, revealing an intoxicated expression on his authoritative face.

The other Peak Masters sat cross-legged on their cushions, each showing significant improvement, all thanks to this premium enlightenment tea.

“Young Master Ye is indeed a miraculous individual, always bringing forth unimaginable things for us,” the Cangjian Peak Master remarked after sipping the enlightenment tea.

Just as he put down his tea cup, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply, hair standing on end, chills shooting up his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily. He quickly clarified, “Everyone, I didn’t mean anything by it! I was just curious!”

Tianxiang Peak Master’s colorful face revealed a hint of a charming smile, her rosy lips parting as she said meaningfully, “Senior Brother Jian, it’s not my fault for not warning you—curiosity killed the cat, you know~”

Xu Yonian’s eyes burned fiercely, laced with crackling bolts of lightning, like two radiant suns in the sky, holding a frightening aura as he stared at the Cangjian Peak Master and warned sternly, “Senior Brother Jian, some things are best kept to yourself. No need to spill, and if you dare let something slip and cause trouble for Young Master Ye, you wouldn’t want to see what happens next from your older brother!”

“Okay, okay,” the Cangjian Peak Master was so scared his forehead dripped with cold sweat, wishing he could slap himself.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the murderous intent that had enveloped him dissipated, and everyone resumed smiling, sipping tea and discussing the Tao.

As if everything that had just occurred was merely an illusion!

Only the Cangjian Peak Master knew the weight Young Master Ye held in everyone’s hearts, and if he didn’t heed the advice and kept prying, their brotherhood would be in jeopardy!

“Actually, Young Master Ye has revealed a lot of information from the outside world during this visit, but I can tell he’s still holding back some things, perhaps not wanting us to worry too much.”

Xu Yonian seemed to think of something, placing down his tea cup with a sigh.

“Young Master Ye is immensely powerful, so strong that I sometimes feel small in front of him; all I can do is not make things worse. If he ever needs me, I’m willing to stake my life.”

“With his extraordinary talent, he’s destined to walk a path like no other, while us mundane fellows can only consider ourselves fortunate to stand by and witness.”

“So, know what you should say and what you shouldn’t, keep your wits about you, and don’t act foolishly!”

When Xu Yonian said this, he intentionally shot a glance at the Cangjian Peak Master, who was looking down, afraid to meet his gaze.

“My life has already been fulfilling just to see our Xuantian Sect flourish; at least it hasn’t collapsed in my hands. With the current foundation of Xuantian Sect, even if we meet the figure from the Central Region, we should have the right to stand tall, right…” Xu Yonian mumbled.

The others exchanged glances, unsure why he suddenly mentioned the Central Region, and they didn’t even know what the ‘dao legacy’ was.

But since the Sect Master didn’t elaborate, everyone remained silent.

“Hmm? Is Young Master Ye really heading to Wendaozong?” Sensing his communication ring vibrating, Xu Yonian suddenly came back to his senses, frowning but quickly relaxing—it’s not like there’s anything to worry about with such strength.

Gongzhou.

Wendaozong.

In the sky, massive warships cruised everywhere, with patrol teams of cultivators ready for action.

White mist filled the air over the majestic immortal peaks, complete with pavilions, towers, and stunning architecture—all grand and spectacular.

At this moment stood a middle-aged man with graying temples, dapper attire, and a purple robe, arms crossed behind him, exuding the authority of someone who has long held power. But on closer inspection, one might notice his face was rather pale, lips darkening, looking somewhat poisoned, but enduring it with deep cultivation.

This is the Sect Master of Wendaozong, An Zizai!

In front of him stood a woman dressed in yellow, her skin smooth and white, features exquisite; she was hugging her arms, pouting with wide, sparkling eyes like a defiant little tiger.

An Zizai’s countenance darkened, “Hmph, have your wings grown so strong that you don’t even listen to your father anymore?!”

An Miaoyi remained silent, just glaring fiercely, with an attitude that was extremely tough.

After staring at each other for several seconds.

An Zizai finally surrendered, giving a wry smile, “Miaoyi, don’t be like this. This time, just listen to me and get to know Commander Chen better; it’ll be a huge help for you in the future. Do you really think I’d lead you astray?”

Who would have thought, An Miaoyi would just cover her ears, “I don’t wanna hear it! I have no feelings for him, so I’m not going to make any effort, and I definitely don’t want to pander to him! Since you value Commander Chen so much, why don’t you just go and be with him!”

As she spoke, An Miaoyi cheekily blinked and made a heart shape with her hands, “Dad, I bless you!”

Upon hearing this.

An Zizai’s muscles twitched, “What kind of talk is that?”

“How outrageous!”
