Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 236

“Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains belong to our Cangming Dao Sect! Those unrelated, get out of here quickly, or there will be no mercy!”

The authoritative voice was cold and ruthless.

A middle-aged man dressed in deep purple attire descended slowly, his eyes filled with disdain, and his tone left no room for doubt.

“What kind of nonsense sect is that? I’ve never even heard of it! They dare to monopolize my Eastern Domain’s Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains?”

Fan Dezhen, the Grand Elder of the Wendaozong, led his sect’s group to the scene, visibly displeased by the arrogance of the man in purple.

After all, Wendaozong held a top position in the Eastern Domain and didn’t even dare to declare an intention to monopolize the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains for fear of causing outrage.

What was this Cangming Dao Sect? Coming in here demanding to take it all?!

“Exactly!”

The Eastern Domain cultivators nodded in agreement, as they too had never heard of this sect and were quite unhappy with the purple-clad man’s actions, uniting in their shared resentment.

“Humph, how dare you insult my Cangming Dao Sect?” The man in purple narrowed his eyes, raising his hand to form a hand seal.

Countless solidified purple gases gathered into an enormous purple mountain of fingers, flowing with a brilliant and mysterious purple glow, emanating overwhelming energy fluctuations.

“Go!”

The massive purple mountain flew swiftly, surrounded by intricate mysterious symbols, crashing down on Fan Dezhen’s head.

“Ugh!”

Now at mid-Tribulation Stage, Fan Dezhen was unable to withstand this attack, spitting blood as his entire body crumbled under the weight of the purple mountain, looking utterly tragic.

The Grand Elder of Wendaozong was being suppressed by an unknown powerhouse, leaving all the cultivators shocked, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

“You, you…” Fan Dezhen was questioning his life, the other party was actually at the full Tribulation Stage!

With such cultivation level and strength, he should have known this person, after all, such powerful beings usually have a close-knit circle.

But Fan Dezhen had no impression of the man in purple, it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.

And what about his so-called Cangming Dao Sect? Could it be a newly risen power in the Eastern Domain?

He’d never heard of it before!

“I, Cangming Dao Sect, am one of the eight major sects of the Central Region, and you, a lowly person, have no right to blaspheme us,” Chen Jizi sneered.

“What?!!”

The crowd erupted in instant uproar.

Turns out, this guy came from the Central Region!

Moreover, his sect was one of the eight major sects of the Central Region!

No wonder he had such audacity!

“One of the Eight Major Sects of the Central Region?!?” Fan Dezhen’s face changed drastically, nearly forgetting the pain all over his body.

The Central Region was the heart of the Kunlun Realm, known for its outstanding talents and myriad powerful beings.

There were countless immortal cultivation sects there.

But the topmost would still be the Four Great Sacred Grounds, standing tall and unyielding through endless ages.

And beneath the Four Great Sacred Grounds were the Eight Major Sects.

These eight sects had foundation only second to the Four Great Sacred Grounds and held considerable weight in the Central Region.

Fan Dezhen never expected this person to represent one of the Eight Major Sects, seizing the Immortal Mountains at such a critical moment—this underlying implication need not be elaborated upon.

Suddenly, he felt disheartened.

To put it in perspective, the Central Region has one hundred and eight states, while the fourteen states of the Eastern Domain are barely noteworthy.

Most importantly, the Kunlun Realm has always considered the Central Region as the main focus; local cultivators from there habitually looked down upon the outer regions, as all four outer domains combined cannot rival the Central Region.

The saying goes, “The Central Region is Kunlun, and Kunlun is the Central Region,” emphasizing the esteem of the Central Region.

But now, one of the Eight Major Sects from the Central Region was personally entering the Eastern Domain to vie for resources.

What kind of situation is this?!

Do they even care about their reputation?

Seeing the shock on these people’s faces at his identity, Chen Jizi’s expression grew even more arrogant, satisfaction swelling within him.

He hadn’t expected that having just been dispatched to the Eastern Domain, he would coincidentally stumble upon such a tremendous opportunity.

If he reports back to the sect, this would definitely be a major accomplishment!

In the past, Central Region cultivators didn’t bother to step into the outer world, unless they were chased to the ends of the earth by enemies or completely unable to survive, then they might wander into the other four domains.

After all, in their traditional view, the four outer domains were backwards compared to the Central Region.

But now, the situation was different from before.

Competition in the Central Region was fierce, having entered a stage of high internal strife.

Major old forces scrambled to maintain their positions, plundering resources, while many new immortal cultivation forces formed alliances and played intrigue, making the situation treacherous and brutal.

Cangming Dao Sect, on the one hand, while it could be said to be one of the Eight Major Sects, actually stood last among them, and facing the rise of new contenders, they felt a serious crisis.

If they slacken even a bit and don’t secure their footing, they would undoubtedly fall out of the ranks of the Eight Major Sects!

Thus, the sect’s higher-ups were frantic and sent several powerful Tribulation Stage cultivators, claiming they would journey across the land on behalf of Cangming Dao Sect to scout the situation.

The goal was simple—to see if there were any opportunities to seize.

And Chen Jizi was one of those who traveled across the land!

He had just arrived in the Eastern Domain not long ago when he fortuitously witnessed the spectacle of the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains appearing.

This thrilled him to no end!

He immediately took action to kill and establish authority, planning to use the name of Cangming Dao Sect to coerce the Eastern Domain cultivators into relinquishing the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains.

Being from one of the Eight Major Sects, he naturally felt a sense of superiority, confident that nobody would dare to provoke him in this place.

“Now you know the terrible consequences of insulting my Cangming Dao Sect, right?”

Chen Jizi looked smugly at Fan Dezhen, who was pinned beneath the mountain of fingers.

“Ah…” Feeling the pressure on him increasing, Fan Dezhen’s eyes went bloodshot, blood flowing from his seven orifices, looking quite ghastly.

“Grand Elder!” His disciples behind him were filled with grief and anger, rushing to attack the purple mountain, but every spell cast was utterly ineffective.

“Lord, will avenge me…” Blood flowed from the corners of Fan Dezhen’s mouth, his aura growing weaker, filled with deep unwillingness.

Was he really going to depart this glorious era in such a manner?

Just then, an angry female voice rang out, “Let go of Uncle Fan!!”

Swish.

A fist, enveloped in the power of the stars and as white as jade, rocketed in like a shooting star, crashing terrifyingly into the purple mountain.

Boom!

The purple mountain shattered into countless pieces, vanishing without a trace.

“Who dares?!” Chen Jizi was both alarmed and angry; anyone capable of breaking his attack was no small fry.

But most importantly, who the hell dared to disrupt Cangming Dao Sect’s business?

That’s a death sentence!
