Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 223

Li Wujie raised his hand and casually fetched the tablet, tossing it in front of him. Then he undid his belt, grinning, “Heh heh, I’ll give you a little surprise, don’t worry, I’ve been feeling hot-headed lately, you won’t get to taste any sweetness.”

No kidding, Li Wujie was planning to take a piss on the ancestor’s tablet of the Yuhua Sect.

You should know that such heinous behavior, back in the day, would have definitely resulted in a relentless pursuit by the Yuhua Sect. But now, with the tree fallen and monkeys scattering, the Yuhua Sect no longer had any strong figures to protect it; how could they safeguard their ancestor’s tablet?

Speaking of the founding ancestor of the Yuhua Sect, he was absolutely a legendary figure from ancient times.

With outstanding cultivation talent and strong comprehension, he created the Yuhua Ascension Technique, founded his sect, and gathered disciples widely. Later, he attained the path of immortality and ascended to the Immortal Realm, leaving behind endless legends.

Every cultivator who joined the Yuhua Sect deeply admired him, holding him in utmost esteem.

After all, he single-handedly established the strongest immortal sect in the Eastern Domain; what a remarkable genius that took!

And the tablet worshipped in this ancient temple symbolized the spirit of the entire Yuhua Sect. Only true inheritance disciples and core elders were qualified to pay respects to it.

Rumor has it that if one hits a stroke of good luck, they might even receive pointers from the founding ancestor, transforming their fate and advancing by leaps and bounds!

Of course, no matter how miraculous it may seem, at this moment, this tablet was about to undergo a very special “baptism.”

Li Wujie, having undone his belt, began to relieve himself right in front of the tablet.

No wonder he’s known as the Blade Demon, effortlessly carrying out this spine-chilling act; there’s been no one like him throughout history.

This was not just disrespecting the Yuhua Sect’s ancestor; it was a desecration of the Yuhua Sect’s spirit!

Drip drip.

A yellow stream landed on the tablet, and a pungent urine odor filled the air.

Immortal Realm.

In a luxurious pavilion soaring thousands of feet high.

A young man dressed in a loose feathered robe had his hands behind his back. His skin was smooth, and his gaze was profound. If you didn’t look closely, you might think he was an exquisite jade statue. But when he moved, his eyes sparkled like a galaxy.

“Damn it, that old fox Liu actually set up ten supreme killing formations in secret and successfully wiped out a crucial force of the Extraterrestrial Allied Forces, causing heavy losses for multiple great worlds, forcing the plan to conquer the Immortal Realm to be abruptly halted!”

The young man’s fists clenched tight; his handsome face contorted as visions of annihilating stars reflected in his eyes, and a terrifying aura surrounded him as he growled, “Why? Why now?!”

In these years, the extraterrestrial races had frequently attacked the Immortal Realm. He knew that with the Immortal Realm’s foundation, it would inevitably crumble. Being clever, he had secretly found a backing for cooperation, exchanging information for benefits.

As long as the Immortal Realm was taken over, he could obtain immense returns, opening up greater avenues and bright prospects than he had now.

Who would have thought that the formation master stationed in the Immortal Realm would purposely conceal vital strategic information, quietly activating ten supreme killing formations, and delivering a perfect ambush to the invading alien forces?

It was said that several Immortal Emperor-level experts from the enemy had fallen, causing significant losses. The remaining alien forces were too scared to push forward, forced to camp outside the starry line, just staring at the Immortal Realm helplessly.

This is the true might of the formation master.

As a formation master, his strategic value was unattainable by even the most powerful Immortal Emperor. At the right moment, he could unleash terrible lethality!

Thanks to him, the Immortal Realm had continued to endure until now!

Otherwise, it would have long been divided by the watchful eyes of various great worlds!

“Ah, after all my planning, I never expected things to take a great turn. My life is like walking on thin ice; I truly don’t know if I can reach the other side.”

The young man worked hard to suppress his anger, revealing a sense of weariness in his eyes as he sighed.

His name was Yuhua Sheng, and he had another identity: the founding ancestor of the Yuhua Sect!

Back in the ancient times, Yuhua Sheng had ascended to the Immortal Realm, full of ambition, ready to make his mark.

But upon arriving, he was immediately captured and forced into labor, working tirelessly like livestock.

At that time, Yuhua Sheng questioned his life, having expected the Immortal Realm to be cruel, and while he didn’t think True Immortal-level experts were anything special, he never imagined it would be so demeaning.

Later, after completing five hundred years of servitude, he started to venture out, crawling and scrambling his way through, leveraging his exceptional abilities and luck to rapidly grow!

He even created a highly sinister technique named the Magic Embryo Transformation Technique, capable of devouring everything to strengthen oneself, resulting in explosive increases in cultivation level.

From then on, it was as if he had divine assistance, climbing through realms with no limits, drenched in the blood of countless beings and devouring endless resources, turning vast territories into lifeless wastelands.

Due to Yuhua Sheng’s elusive nature, acting with extreme caution, and consistently using false identities for disguise, many forces wanting to pursue him found it nearly impossible to trace.

However, considering future security, Yuhua Sheng painstakingly joined the top force in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Court!

The Immortal Court was recognized as the official organization governing all vital affairs across the Immortal Realm.

Any sect had to report to the Immortal Court to establish itself; otherwise, it would be viewed as a clandestine entity and faced severe suppression and eradication!

The selection of talents in the Immortal Court was very strict, and promotion also tested abilities.

You must grasp that even secular monarchy officials have ranks; how much more so for officials in the Immortal Court?

The Immortal Court’s celestial officials were divided into ten ranks, from top to bottom: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui!

As they say, cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing, but also about social connections.

Due to his exceptional talent and swift increases in power, coupled with his meticulous conduct and tactful maneuvering, Yuhua Sheng rapidly ascended in the bureaucratic sphere, gaining much recognition.

In this way, while secretly using the Magic Embryo Transformation Technique to devour the vitality of countless territories, he presented himself as a high-ranking official of the Immortal Court, wielding significant power and glory.

During this time, the Immortal Court had indeed noticed some anomalies, specially sending envoys to investigate the truth. Yuhua Sheng either bribed them to mislead, or he trained scapegoats to take the fall for him.

After all, the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, encompassing countless great territories. What’s the big deal about slaughtering millions of them?

As long as his identity remained concealed, he could do it anywhere at random. Plus, he was no longer the same as before; having successfully cleared his name, it was now much easier to handle the Immortal Court’s investigations.

Time flies, and white steeds pass like a blink.

Yuhua Sheng was now a Level B celestial official, a high-ranking member of the Immortal Court, wielding great power and known as Yuhua Immortal Sovereign, adored by billions of beings.

He should have been enjoying this spring breeze, but he encountered the calamity of the Immortal Realm: the invasion of the extraterrestrial races.

Anyone familiar with the connection between the Immortal Realm and the Kunlun Realm, as well as the grievances between the Nine Nether and the Divine Court, knew well what position the Immortal Realm held in the universe.

On the surface, the Immortal Realm appeared thriving, but before true great powers, all brilliance would vanish; even the once-mighty Kunlun Realm was brought to its knees. Yuhua Sheng didn’t believe that the seemingly glamorous Immortal Realm could last till the end!

Thus, Yuhua Sheng harbored ulterior motives, seeking a way out for himself by secretly selling vital information to the enemy armies.

Not only to protect himself and pave the way for the future, but the most crucial factor was that the power he attained from the Magic Embryo Transformation Technique grew insatiable as he reached the level of Immortal Sovereign, making further progress increasingly difficult.

Desiring to break through the Immortal Emperor level, Yuhua Sheng intended to use the blade held by the extraterrestrial forces to continuously weaken the Immortal Realm’s strength. When that time came, with no strong figures to contain him, he could freely unleash the Magic Embryo Transformation Technique, greedily devouring the Immortal Realm’s resources, perhaps even devouring…

The entire Immortal Realm!

If that could really happen, breaking through the Immortal Emperor level wouldn’t even be a dream; would he not surpass even that?

With this ambition in mind, Yuhua Sheng lurked within the Immortal Court, plotting his grand plans.

Little did he expect, the formation master Liu Huangshu would once again play a shocking trick, forcing the extraterrestrial allied forces’ invasion to a halt.

That wasn’t even the most perilous part; the enemy had deliberately activated the killing formations quietly, meant to prevent any information leakage, clearly sensing that there were spies among the Immortal Court’s high ranks.

Thinking about this, Yuhua Sheng felt a chill run down his spine; his identity might truly be exposed.

“That damn old fox!”

Realizing this, Yuhua Sheng cursed again, his previously calmed mood shifting back to agitation.

“I wonder how things are progressing in my Yuhua Sect down below?”

“If everything goes smoothly, that’ll at least leave me a way out.”

Yuhua Sheng’s eyes flickered as he frowned.

For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy just now. At first, he thought it was because of the war, but then after calculating, he realized the source was his Yuhua Sect.

Could it be that his lineage in the lower realm also faced disaster?

That shouldn’t be the case!

By all accounts, as long as the Star Gate was opened, letting the army of the Nether race invade should easily dominate the Eastern Domain. Not to mention the petty Eastern Domain, they could even conquer the Kunlun Realm, right?

With the cultivators from the Kunlun Realm, how could they resist the Nether army that started with Immortal beings?

But why did he feel so anxious now?

Yuhua Sheng pondered back and forth, ultimately deciding to use the spiritual imprint left on the tablet to remotely check on the Yuhua Sect’s situation.

“Let me see what’s going on here!”

Yuhua Sheng began to form a decision, establishing a mental connection with the tablet far away, simply put, enabling a visual sharing function.

Swish!

The world spun around him.

He was in the familiar environment of the ancient temple.

“Huh? Why am I on the ground?”

“Wait, who is this guy? I don’t remember him at all!”

“Hey, hey, hey, why are you taking off your pants? Put them back on! You beast, what are you doing to my tablet?!”

“Ah! My eyes! My eyes aahhh!!”

Yuhua Sheng instantly broke down, letting out a sharp scream, watching the middle-aged man in a straw hat and a rogue’s getup, who looked all too pleased as he undid his belt and aimed right at his face…
