Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 213

“Now that the Underworld Abyss is gone, we can ensure peace in the Eastern Domain for countless generations, without the danger of being eyed by dark beings anymore. Senior Ye, your merits are boundless!” Xue Wuhen exclaimed.

“Yeah, yeah,” everyone chimed in.

This victory will surely stun the Eastern Domain, and future generations will document and praise the glorious deeds of the Eastern Domain’s allied forces, led by Ye Junlin, for extinguishing the Underworld Abyss.

“It was just a small effort,” Ye Junlin replied.

“Wait a minute, I almost forgot about that scourge, the Yuhua Sect. They’re a festering wound in our Eastern Domain!” someone slapped their forehead, fuming.

“Right, right! Turns out the Yuhua Sect has been secretly colluding with the Underworld Abyss all along. I can’t believe I was so moved before, thinking they were the true light of our Eastern Domain!”

“With their sect leader leading the betrayal of the human race, it’s a classic case of a crooked beam leading to a crooked roof. They’re worse than dogs and pigs!”

“Damn it, they almost caused our entire army to be wiped out. Thankfully, we had Senior Ye stepping in, or we would’ve been done for!”

Mentioning the Yuhua Sect, all the cultivators were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes ablaze with fury, gritting their teeth in hatred.

There was a humiliating feeling of being betrayed!

It’s hard to imagine that this sect, which had reigned supreme in the Eastern Domain for countless years, once the object of admiration and respect from countless cultivators, would one day betray their own kind.

Engaging in such a filthy act that would leave a stench for ages!

What kind of conscience do these sect members have, letting their integrity be devoured by dogs?

“If you ask me, we should take this opportunity to head straight to Qingzhou, bloodily wash out the Yuhua Sect, and put an end to future troubles!” Li Wujie said, filled with emotion, raising his sword and shouting vigorously.

This suggestion was quickly embraced by many cultivators.

“Agreed! It’s time to settle this score!”

Regarding the backstabbing acts of the Yuhua Sect, everyone expressed their deep disdain and vowed to take revenge.

The calls for the extermination of the Yuhua Sect grew louder in the ranks.

After all, even a clay figurine has its temper, let alone these prominent strong figures present, who had almost fallen victim to their schemes. They couldn’t swallow this anger.

They swore they would not rest until they avenged this grudge!

Even if it is the number one sect in the Eastern Domain, so what? They’ve performed such an infamous act of betraying the human race. Can they still find a place to hide in the entire Eastern Domain?

They must attack! To uphold justice!

“Everyone, the Yuhua Sect, as the oldest immortal orthodoxy, must have several immortals stationed there throughout the ages. We need to proceed with caution,” Xue Wuhen, who had heard rumors about the depth of the Yuhua Sect during his early days in the Xuanji Sword Sect, warned.

You see, ancient sects like this don’t just rely on the Tribulation Stage cultivators visible on the surface; the true heavyweights are often hidden behind the scenes.

Now that the high-level combat powers represented by the sect leader were destroyed, those behind the scenes who are immortals would surely not stay idle upon realizing the situation was exposed.

This battle was now unavoidable!

When they heard that several immortals might be stationed there, the previously agitated cultivators suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if a bucket of ice-cold water had just been poured over them.

In battles at such levels, immortal-level combat power is a necessity; otherwise, no matter how many people there are, they would just be walking to their deaths.

Soon, they remembered the various experiences they’d gone through in the Underworld Abyss, and they couldn’t help but look toward that silver-haired youth, their eyes filled with hope.

If they wanted to take down the Yuhua Sect, who else could do it besides him?

This was someone who could crush even the world’s will with a single punch!

“Senior Ye, what do you mean…” Xue Wuhen asked cautiously.

Just as Ye Junlin was about to say something, a system notification suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering a new sign-in location. Successfully signing in at the Yuhua Sect will grant you the sign-in reward: Three True Immortal Level Magical Artifacts will simultaneously be upgraded to Lower Immortal Sovereign Level!]

Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin was taken aback, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Magical artifacts also have level classifications, which include True Immortal Level, Celestial Immortal Level, Profound Immortal Level, Immortal Sovereign Level, Immortal King Level, Immortal Emperor Level, Immortal Sovereign Level, and Immortal Emperor Level.

Each stage is further split into lower, middle, upper, and supreme grades.

If he signed in at the Yuhua Sect, his three signature magical artifacts—the Cangyuan Sword, Burial Heaven Coffin, and Longevity Flute—would evolve from True Immortal Level to the exceedingly rare Immortal Sovereign Level!

That’s an enormous benefit!

While many immortals in the Kunlun Realm were still using True Immortal Level magical artifacts, some even too poor to possess any, he would already have three Immortal Sovereign Level magical artifacts.

Once the fighting begins, he would be able to show off and crush everyone in the scene!

Why wouldn’t he go?

“Senior Ye?” Xue Wuhen noticed Ye Junlin’s lack of response and thought he was hesitating about the Yuhua Sect, feeling a bit let down.

But the next second, Ye Junlin pretended to cough a couple of times and said seriously, “It doesn’t matter, I will make my move anyway!”

When these words left his mouth, everyone felt a jolt, excitement flushing their faces red, their breaths quickening. They revisited those words repeatedly and found them to be even more imposing.

“Here, let me express my gratitude on behalf of the Eastern Domain human race for Senior Ye’s righteous act!” Xue Wuhen joyfully exclaimed, bowing deeply.

“We thank you, Senior Ye!!!” All the cultivators spoke reverently, bowing in unison.

With his promise to take action, they felt reassured; otherwise, the variables in the encirclement of the Yuhua Sect would be too many, making it hard to claim victory.

“You all don’t need to be so courteous. The Yuhua Sect has also provoked me before. Now that we’re settling accounts for both old and new, it’s high time we put an end to it,” Ye Junlin said, hands behind his back, his indifferent tone laced with murderous intent.

Even without the sign-in task, he would go out of his way for this, because whether before or after his reincarnation, his greatest hatred was for those who collude with alien races and betray their own kind!

Then, Ye Junlin glanced at the map, meticulously pinpointing the location, and began setting up the teleportation formation to prepare for long-distance transport to Qingzhou.

“Let’s go!”

With a flash, accompanied by a dazzling light, countless mysterious runes swirled like tadpoles, and a massive teleportation formation suddenly activated, disappearing amidst the astonished cries of the crowd.

Qingzhou.

Yuhua Sect.

In the small world.

Old Ancestor Tianhong’s figure appeared. He looked like a very old man with snow-white hair and beard, full of vigor, draped in a half-black, half-white holy robe, exuding boiling immortal energy.

“Tianhong, what’s wrong?” Around the surrounding void, pairs of narrow, gigantic eyes opened, gazing at the old man with puzzlement.

“Everyone, we might be in big trouble,” Old Ancestor Tianhong said with a deeply worried expression.

How could this be possible?

The other four ancestors were skeptical.

You see, the ongoing plan had been progressing very smoothly, and after some motivational speeches, the Yuhua Sect managed to lead the Eastern Domain coalition straight into the Underworld Abyss. They just needed to wait for the divine messenger on the other side to fetch them, and everything would be a resounding success.

Considering the time, they were probably already successful, right?

How could there be big trouble?

“We’d like to hear your reasoning,” the second-ranked Purple Dawn Ancestor said contemplatively.

Old Ancestor Tianhong’s voice was low, “When Wan Changwei set off, I specifically cast a secret method on him. After he encountered an accident, I absorbed all of his memories from the Underworld Abyss.”

At this point, Old Ancestor Tianhong’s eyes were filled with fear, and deep inside, he felt a pang of dread as if he had personally experienced it.

“What did you see?” Purple Dawn Ancestor inquired, astonished.

He had never seen Old Ancestor Tianhong display such an expression. After all, he was the strongest True Immortal among the five!

What in the world did he see to look so terrified?

After calming his emotions with great difficulty, Old Ancestor Tianhong used an extremely serious tone to address his companions, “What I saw was…”

“A peerless strongman!!”
