Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 194

Ye Junlin: “?”

Cute my foot! For a man, bigger is always better!

Cough, cough, got off track there.

Ye Junlin withdrew his gaze and looked around. The surrounding vegetation was lush, the mountains beautiful, just like what he saw during the Trials.

He immersed himself in his thoughts, sensing an unbreakable connection with everything here.

It felt as if he was… a god of this place!

Ye Junlin let out a gentle breath and waved his hand outside, “No problem, you all can come in.”

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with excitement, eager to spring into action.

Swish, swish, swish~

Figures descended onto Fallen Immortal Island, their sizes seemingly tiny.

“Uh,” looking at the empty space around him, Ye Junlin felt a bit speechless.

Looks like they still can’t pinpoint where to land accurately.

Oh well, never mind them. I’ll just explore myself.

After all, Ye Junlin had absolute control over this Fallen Immortal Island, not worried in the slightest that anything could go wrong.

Out of sheer boredom and a desire to sightsee, Ye Junlin began wandering around Fallen Immortal Island.

Meanwhile,

In a certain grove, Cangjian Peak Master scratched his head and muttered, “Could it be that I entered at the wrong angle, and ended up so far from Ye Shidi?”

“Mm?”

Cangjian Peak Master suddenly noticed something and tentatively picked up a dark, muddy object at his feet. Feeling the wisps of immortal energy within, he became so excited he stuttered,

“This… this is immortal soil!!”

“What a fortune! This is a huge opportunity!” Cangjian Peak Master was overjoyed, stuffing the dirt into his mouth.

Even if it was hard to swallow, nothing could quell his desire to strengthen himself. If he could eat this immortal soil, it would help refine the immortal energy within, greatly benefiting his cultivation.

Though the taste was bitter, to Cangjian Peak Master, it was the sweetest thing he’d ever tasted!

Cultivating immortality is about enduring hardships before tasting sweetness!

Suddenly, a series of thumping sounds approached nearby, sounding like someone was hopping along.

Cangjian Peak Master instinctively turned his head, his mouth agape in shock, as he was met with a sight covered in dark mud.

He saw a two-meter tall kangaroo, its muscles bulging like a solid brick wall, its belly boasting eighteen standard abs.

This muscular kangaroo eyed the young man in green clothes eating dirt with a strange look.

Then, it bounced over, turning its back as if getting ready to unleash something.

A few seconds later, a dark lump shot out of its rear end, steaming hot.

After finishing its business, the muscular kangaroo nonchalantly bounced away.

Watching the dark lump on the ground and the “dirt” still clutched in his hand, Cangjian Peak Master’s expression froze. His nostrils flared, and his lips trembled.

So all this time, he was… eating…

“Bleh~”

Thinking this, Cangjian Peak Master felt his stomach churning violently, a wave of nausea rising. He doubled over and began to vomit, even worried he hadn’t cleared it properly, so he stuck his fingers down his throat, gagging uncontrollably.

This immortal opportunity? Not worth it at all!

“Damn it! Who does this to the ground? Is there no sense of public decency? Show yourself; I swear I won’t let you off!”

Cangjian Peak Master drew his sword, nearly losing control of his emotions.

But his cultivation level, at best, only reached the Qi Refining Stage here.

After all, everything on Fallen Immortal Island was under the influence of the [Rules], ensuring that the beings here wouldn’t wreak havoc and destroy the environment during conflicts, something Liu Huangshu painstakingly established for stability.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew past.

The muscular kangaroo reappeared, glaring with wide eyes, nostrils flaring, as if questioning why it was being blamed.

“You, you, you,” Cangjian Peak Master realized he had just invited trouble with his previous outburst, scaring himself so much that he nearly dropped his sword.

Only a fool would think that something with immortal energy could result from a mere animal!

Thus, this muscular kangaroo was definitely a demon immortal!

“Wait a minute, why should I be afraid of you?”

“We’re all the same here!”

Cangjian Peak Master quickly regained his confidence and aimed his sword at the muscular kangaroo, shouting:

“Hey! You beast! Daring to pollute the ground, let me teach you a lesson!?”

With that, he slashed down, and the sword wind howled past.

The muscular kangaroo was completely furious.

I was doing you a favor, and you blame me?

You must not like things that are too fresh, huh?

In a rage, the muscular kangaroo swung its fist like a sandbag, ready to teach this ungrateful human a lesson.

Bang bang bang~ Crash, bang, bang~!

After a few seconds.

A young man in green, beaten to a pulp and looking like a swollen pig’s head, curled up on the ground, bleeding from his nose, crying out in agony: “Stop! Stop! It’s my fault! I was wrong!”

The muscular kangaroo halted, flexing its brawny right arm, showcasing its bulging biceps.

Its eyes were filled with a human-like disdain.

Hmph!

On the other side,

At the base of the cliff, Li Wujie wandered around, feeling some déjà vu from the scene here.

“Mm?”

Li Wujie, relying on his memory, walked to a familiar spot and looked up at a spacious cave.

“Could it be…”

A thought crossed Li Wujie’s mind, making his breath quicken. He leaped up, entering the dark cave with a mix of anxiety and anticipation.

Reaching the very end, Li Wujie froze in place.

His nostrils flared, eyes filled with tears, trembling as he said, “My… my eagle…”

Before him stood a large eagle, its feathers like sharp blades and grand in stature, originally resting with its eyes closed. Upon hearing the heartfelt call, it opened its golden eyes in alarm.

Faced with Li Wujie, the eagle’s expression was bewildered.

Who is this guy?

As time passed, others began to trigger their own serendipities on the island, each gaining plenty. For instance, Xu Yonian watched a one-legged thunder cow absorbing thunderous energy, gaining profound insights into the Thunder Path, while Tianxiang Peak Master sat in a colorful flower sea, creating his own techniques amidst dancing butterflies, surrounded by immortal energy…

“This splendid place, yet I have no connection to it. Thinking about it, what a pity.”

On a forest path, Hong Qianye walked with mixed feelings. With his keen eye, he could see the enormous potential of Fallen Immortal Island.

Every being here was enveloped by the [Rules]; even a passing animal was bound to be impressive!

And this group of powerful beings that could summon wind and rain in the Kunlun Realm was now limited by the island; only the island master had the right to command them.

“Is there a yard over there?” Hong Qianye squinted at the 丹凤眼, a thought emerging in his mind.

Could this possibly be the dwelling of that ancient immortal from back then?

Thinking this, Hong Qianye felt anxious yet expectant; this yard must be something special. If he could gain something from it, it would significantly help his path to becoming an immortal.

With a nervous heart, Hong Qianye tentatively approached the yard gate and pushed open the creaky wooden door.

Cautiously stepping inside, he anxiously scanned his surroundings.

This yard appeared quite ordinary.

However, after the door swung open, Hong Qianye suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if a long-sealed space was being released, and the gears of time began moving normally…

Before his eyes lay a pond, a mud jar covered in grass, a willow tree, a well, a chicken coop, and a little donkey tied next to the stable.

“Cluck, cluck, cluck~!”

A loud chicken call rang out from the coop, brimming with excitement.

In the pond, dozens of golden koi swam, surfacing to blow bubbles, their wide eyes eager to see who had entered the yard.

“Hey! Hey! Hey!” The little donkey lifted its head and called out to Hong Qianye.

“Shut up, you stupid donkey!” Hong Qianye felt a vein pop on his forehead; the donkey’s braying was driving him nearly insane.

Next, Hong Qianye examined the area closely, feeling notably disappointed.

This yard was very ordinary; it had none of the opportunities he sought!

“Damn it, I was just looking forward to nothing!”

Looking at the worn mud jar on the stone table with frustration, Hong Qianye knocked it over.

Bang.

The mud jar fell heavily to the ground, scattering loose soil, along with the green grass.

Instantly, the air became eerily quiet.

The chicken ceased its clucking, the donkey stopped braying, and the fish stopped blowing bubbles.

An unexplainable atmosphere settled in.

Hong Qianye sneered, “Hmph, finally quiet.”

Just as he dusted off his hands and turned to leave, the mud jar erupted with a terrible aura; to be precise, it was the clusters of tender grass planted within.

In Hong Qianye’s view, the ordinary pot of grass suddenly began to dance wildly, releasing a terrifying flame capable of incinerating the very stars, turning even immortals to ashes, trapping them in eternal damnation!

“This, this is the legendary…”

“The Burning Immortal Grass!?”

Hong Qianye’s heart raced, and he cried out in shock.

He had read in ancient texts that there was a type of immortal grass that was incredibly fearsome, producing flames potent enough to burn a powerful immortal alive. Initially, Hong Qianye thought it was nonsense—what grass could be so fierce that even immortals would perish—but now it seemed that the text’s descriptions were indeed conservative.

One Burning Immortal Grass could kill an immortal, and now this pot was filled with it!!

“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”

Inside the coop, the chicken’s calls turned sharp and aggressive.

Dozens of roosters and hens fluttered their wings, flying out, glaring at Hong Qianye as if questioning him.

Boom!

Hong Qianye nearly exploded, for what flew out of the coop were not mere chickens, but magnificent phoenixes, releasing streams of brilliant rainbow light, exuding an auspicious, divine aura.

“Phoenixes, they’re all phoenixes!” Hong Qianye’s face drained of color, sweat beads trickling down his beautiful cheeks.

At that moment, he noticed something and looked toward the pond.

On the water’s surface, countless golden koi surfaced, transforming into dazzling golden deities…
