Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 234

“Oh?”

Ye Junlin was momentarily taken aback.

Was this cunning apprentice really pledging loyalty to him?

Looks like human hearts are indeed tender.

But honestly, it felt a bit odd.

“Little Hong, I preferred the rebellious you from before. It makes training you feel more rewarding,” Ye Junlin said with a serious expression.

“Uh,”

Red Qianye, who had been touched and had a changed impression, immediately felt a few lines of black tension on his forehead after hearing this, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

As expected.

Still this kind of nonsense!

But unfortunately, how terrifying the other party’s strength was, you could only go along with the conversation.

Red Qianye forced a smile, “Master, please don’t belittle your disciple. How could I dare to show off in front of you?”

Ye Junlin waved his hand, “You’re not the same as before. Your cultivation level is already above mine; haven’t you always wanted to surpass me and spar with me? Come on, today is your chance.”

Ye Junlin could see that Red Qianye was very strong now; he was in the realm of Celestial Immortal, level three, with second-grade immortal power, while the latter was at level nine, first-grade immortal power.

Since he dared to propose such a challenge, he was certainly not afraid of making a fool of himself, especially since he could use this chance to leech off his major disciple’s experience.

This was surely a guaranteed win, no loss!

“What, what?”

As a result.

This statement was like a bolt from the blue to Red Qianye, causing him to tremble all over, his pupils flickering, filled with panic and unease.

Ye Junlin’s suggestion meant something entirely different to him.

Red Qianye’s expression kept changing, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He had a dark past and had once thought of betraying his sect; now, having luckily obtained great opportunity, he might seem glorious, but compared to Ye Junlin, he felt like an ant.

“He’s deliberately intimidating me!

“In this situation, whoever takes action will be the fool!”

Red Qianye would not make the same mistake again; besides, having just witnessed Ye Junlin’s unbelievable feat of defeating the tribulation, proving his identity as an Immortal Emperor, how could he be foolish enough to act out?

In a moment,

Red Qianye thought he had figured out the implied meaning, and with a heavy bow, he displayed an attitude of deep remorse, “Master, I deserve to die a thousand deaths! From now on, I will definitely obey your orders without any second thoughts!”

Ye Junlin: “……”

Look at how blown out of proportion this misunderstanding is!

“No worries, you can go ahead and take your shot; I’m just testing your progress,” Ye Junlin urged.

“Master! Just now, I swore a solemn oath that if I dare to offend you again, let me suffer a terrible fate!”

“Please, don’t put me in a tough position! I swear I’ll be obedient!”

The more Ye Junlin insisted, the more fearful Red Qianye became, further confirming his suspicions.

Testing progress?

He’d never seen him do this before!

Timing like this could only mean he was trying to take advantage of the situation.

You can hit or scold me, but I absolutely won’t fall for it this time!

Red Qianye thought to himself.

He could already imagine that if he truly believed this nonsense, he would surely be forcibly beaten up.

And he would be the one embarrassed in the end!

“You damn…”

Ye Junlin felt a bit vexed, brushed his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Forget it, this experience package can wait for the right moment; no need to rush to fleece his disciple.

“That was close, almost got beaten up.”

Seeing Ye Junlin leaving, Red Qianye couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a wave of relaxation wash over him.

It had been too terrifying just now.

Fortunately, he had been smart enough not to give Ye Junlin a chance to take advantage.

Next,

Cheers of congratulations rang out from all around.

Everyone was celebrating Red Qianye’s ascension to immortality.

Faced with familiar faces, Red Qianye didn’t maintain his usual sulky expression but, unusually, showed a smile, returning greetings with grace.

Because he sensed the concern and regret everyone expressed when he was almost killed by the tribulation.

Adding to his good fortune in misfortune, his mood was greatly enhanced, and he became much friendlier.

Seeing this, Xu Yonian and the others were both surprised and delighted.

Ye Junlin’s disciple finally felt a sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect.

This was indeed a tremendous piece of good news.

Double joy!

“Brother Hong, see, I told you I was right!” Li Wujie excitedly nudged his friend.

Red Qianye nodded, exclaiming, “Now I truly believe it!”

As the saying goes, seeing is believing; the doubts he had before were now completely resolved.

“Brother Hong, Master said to celebrate your ascension; he specially asked you to prepare a barbecue feast!” Bai Xiaoxi cheerfully came over.

“I knew it…” Now it was Red Qianye’s turn to feel annoyed; this logic was just too touching.

But this time, he was actually willing!

“Everyone, don’t rush off; try my skewers,” Red Qianye said earnestly to the guests congratulating him.

Xu Yonian and the others exchanged looks, their eyes filled with shock.

It seemed Ye Junlin’s major disciple had genuinely changed!

“Red Nephew, then we’ll shamelessly stay and taste your cooking!” Xu Yonian said with a smile.

Then, everyone joyfully shared a delicious barbecue feast together at Mysterious Peak.

At Fallen Immortal Island, watching this scene from start to finish, all the Beings were speechless, their feelings were quite complex.

A little donkey cautiously asked, “Um, do you think the island master still needs our help?”

This was someone who could scare off the tribulation!

If it were them, even at their peak, they would be utterly wiped out against the tribulation.

“Maybe our biggest purpose in existing is really just to keep the island master entertained,” Old Carp slowly surfaced, uncharacteristically sharing his thoughts.

“I really want to refute you, but I can’t find any grounds to do so,” the hen said, feeling utterly ashamed.

“Miss Liu, what do you think?” Other Beings turned to her for help, seeking her opinion.

Having witnessed Ye Junlin’s stunning defeat of the tribulation, all they felt was shock and confusion. Since their new island master had become this powerful, did they still have any purpose?

It seemed like there weren’t any threats left?

The willow tree was in disarray in the wind.

If you ask me, who should I ask?

Should I ask that guy at the bottom of the well?

After barely calming down, the willow tree said solemnly, “Everyone, don’t belittle yourselves. I believe the reason the island master was able to defeat the tribulation comes down to one thing, which is also the biggest reason Liu Taishang chose him.”

All the Beings listened intently, holding their breath.

The willow tree’s tone turned serious, “If I’m not mistaken, he is the fabled Blessing of the Dao!”

Blessing of the Dao?!

The little friends in the yard were filled with uncertainty.

“Miss Liu, do you mean that Island Master Ye carries the will of the Kunlun Realm’s Dao, which is why the tribulation couldn’t defeat him?” the hen exclaimed in shock.

The Blessing of the Dao is akin to the Son of Heaven, and in terms of status, the tribulation would have no choice but to concede.

After all, both represent the will of the Dao; it’s understandable for the weaker to be unable to contend with the stronger!

“Yup, that’s the only explanation I can think of because under normal circumstances, no being in the Kunlun Realm can overcome the tribulation; even Immortal Emperors must bow down, and since the island master’s luck is extraordinary and his blessings extend endlessly, he can ignore the judgment of the tribulation—he must be blessed by the Dao,” the willow tree explained with a stiff tone.

In reality, it had one more thing to say: the existence above Immortal Emperor could defeat the tribulation, but that was clearly impossible; aside from the Four Absolutes of the Kunlun Realm back in the day, no one had broken through that realm.

So, the theory of the Blessing of the Dao is much more fitting!

“So that’s how it is; Miss Liu really has a wealth of knowledge!” the Beings said, nodding in understanding.

At this moment.

While feasting on skewers, Ye Junlin could never have imagined that his identity would evolve from being an Immortal Emperor to a Blessing of the Dao……

You could only say, the weak were still struggling to elevate their status, while the true strong had others crafting a new one for them……

Now that’s a gap!
