Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 248

Liu Qingming never expected that the cultivators of the Eastern Domain could be this outrageous—off-the-charts crazy!

Who dares to mess with tribulations?

What audacity!

There’s gotta be a limit to bragging, right?

Liu Qingming started to seriously suspect that this whole thing was actually a scheme by Red Demon Hong Qianye.

That so-called Senior Ye was just someone he propped up, hiring a bunch of water army to create hype, giving off the illusion that he had a great backing.

He wanted the powers of the Central Region to be wary of him, too scared to make a move!

“Of course, it has to be like this! Such a despicable scheme perfectly fits my understanding of the Red Demon.”

Liu Qingming thought he had it all figured out, his eyes shining with a wise glint.

At the same time, he felt a twinge of disdain.

Even if you’re going to create a buzz, can’t you at least do it with some finesse?

What’s with claiming ten swords killed a billion outer-world immortals? Even worse, you chased off the tribulation? If you’re gonna spin a tale, at least put some effort into it!

Those poor cultivators from the Eastern Domain, with their low IQs, were completely manipulated by him.

Watching a bunch of patrons in the tea house cheer and get hyped, Liu Qingming’s gaze turned sympathetic.

Sigh, they’re really hopelessly stupid.

“This friend, come in and sit! The storyteller is about to begin the Immortal Emperor chapter of ‘Legend of Senior Ye.’”

The attendant said enthusiastically.

“What?!”

Liu Qingming nearly doubted his ears, his face filled with disbelief: “Immortal, Immortal Emperor chapter?”

“Yeah! It’s about Senior Ye back in the day as the Immortal Emperor, suppressing the dark chaos during ancient times!” the attendant said seriously.

Liu Qingming: “！！！”

Right now, Liu Qingming felt his head buzzing, his throat swallowing hard, and after a long pause, he barely managed to blurt: “That’s enough, right? You’re pulling the Immortal Emperor into this? Are you trying to fool a ghost?”

Immortal Emperor!

Do you even know what an Immortal Emperor is?

“This friend, please mind your words. You’ve just been secluded for years and are clueless. Now everyone in the Eastern Domain knows Senior Ye is an Immortal Emperor, the strongest one at that, famously known as Ye Tian Emperor!”

“Looking back to those ancient times, seven dark forbidden zones were eyeing us humans. They later launched a dark chaos, wanting to slaughter millions of beings in the Kunlun Realm. Senior Ye fought against the lords of the seven forbidden zones all by himself for the sake of the world.”

“Eventually, the lords were defeated by Senior Ye, and only then did peace return to the Kunlun Realm.”

“Due to the depletion of his powers, he had to fall into a deep sleep, only waking up a few years ago to roam the Eastern Domain. That’s why he’s so strong!”

“Because he’s an Immortal Emperor! Moreover, back then, he was the top Immortal Emperor, Ye Tian Emperor!”

After the attendant finished with undeniable conviction, he proudly raised his chin, looking down at Liu Qingming with a condescending glance.

The meaning was clear: You’re out of the loop, buddy!

This is the brand-new version!

Liu Qingming’s expression was just blank as if he was completely stunned, standing there in a daze.

Ye Tian Emperor, suppressing dark chaos, quelling the seven forbidden zones—what even is this?

No, you guys are really something else at weaving tales!

Liu Qingming was speechless, utterly speechless.

“Friend, I’ve said so much, aren’t you coming in for a drink? I guarantee the storyteller’s tale is a thousand times more exciting than mine!” the attendant said excitedly.

Liu Qingming turned his head to see the storyteller sipping tea to clear his throat, picking up the wooden clapper and slamming it on the table to begin the Immortal Emperor chapter of ‘Legend of Senior Ye.’

“Once upon a time, in the ancient era of the Kunlun Realm, there was an undying family with the surname Ye. Their ancestors produced many Immortal Sovereign-level figures, their names carried great prestige. However, they encountered a great calamity, and the clan fell into decline. Until one day, the clan leader’s wife gave birth to a baby with a special physique—this is where the story of Senior Ye begins…”

Somehow, even though he knew it was all made up, Liu Qingming felt an intense itch in his heart.

There was an undeniable desire to keep listening.

“Hey, waiter! Bring me your best tea and reserve the best spot!”

“Sure thing! Right this way, sir!”

For several hours, Liu Qingming sat in the tea house, entranced, feeling every emotion tied to the storyline.

As for the task assigned by his superior, he had long forgotten it, completely immersed in the world painted by the storyteller, following the protagonist through an epic journey of cultivation.

Especially when he heard about Senior Ye later in the story, facing off alone against the lords of the seven forbidden zones, about to be overwhelmed but suddenly achieving a peak transformation, confidently shouting back at the source of darkness, his resolute voice echoing through the Kunlun Realm,

“I am the Emperor of Heaven, here to suppress all enemies in this world!”

In that moment.

Liu Qingming felt the blood in his body boil with excitement, he was so stirred up he nearly wanted to explode with enthusiasm!

Holy crap! Holy crap!!

This is so intense! So damn thrilling!!!

At that moment, Liu Qingming felt as if he had personally witnessed that magnificent figure standing against the heavens, battling the lords of the seven forbidden zones alone, that brave and tragic scene.

Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine, goosebumps bursting all over.

The patrons in the tea house were teary-eyed, each one getting so into it that they cried out, some even hugging their heads and sobbing, plunging the scene into chaos.

Seeing this, the storyteller had to bang the wooden clapper on the table to remind the audience to be mindful of their reactions.

There was no denying it, the Immortal Emperor chapter of ‘Legend of Senior Ye’ was simply breathtaking.

So it went.

After listening to the tale all day, Liu Qingming reluctantly left the tea house, replaying the story in his mind all the way.

“Senior Ye really is a model for us all, admirable.”

“No wonder he’s the strongest Immortal Emperor, Ye Tian Emperor!”

“Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Liu Qingming snapped back to reality, a deep suspicion flashing in his eyes, “What just happened to me?”

In a moment of clarity, haunted by a terrifying thought,


Brainwashing, totally brainwashing!

In a world where everyone followed the crowd, combined with endless glorifying stories, slowly but surely, he could easily be led around.

Now Liu Qingming finally understood why the cultivators of the Eastern Domain would believe in Senior Ye so unconditionally.

“I knew it! This must be the trick of Red Demon Hong Qianye!”

“What a sinister plan! I nearly fell into the trap myself!”

Snapping back to his senses, Liu Qingming felt a chill run down his spine.

“Hmph, next, I’ll go to the Xuantian Sect and expose his ridiculous deception.”

“No, no, I need to stay calm. What if he gets angry and kills me?”

“I’ll have to approach it as a friendly visit. If that doesn’t work, I’ll regroup with the Eight Great Dao Sects to deal with him!”

With a determined mindset, Liu Qingming transformed into a dazzling beam of celestial light, heading straight for the location of the Xuantian Sect.
