Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 250

Liu Qingming from the Xuantian Sect stepped in and was instantly thrown for a loop.

You see, the Xuantian Holy Land is the strongest sect in the Central Region and had been busily sucking up Immortal Veins to bulk itself up recently.

He thought that with the sheer number of Immortal Veins, they were at the top among the Four Great Sacred Grounds, able to look down on all forces in the Kunlun Realm.

But today was like a slap in the face!

Boom~

Suddenly, the once clear sky turned overcast, dark black tribulation clouds gathering above the Xuantian Sect, with brilliant silver lightning flickering within the thick layers.

“Which fellow Daoist is crossing tribulation here?”

Liu Qingming exclaimed in shock.

He could clearly feel that this tribulation was way higher level than his own—absolutely a world of difference.

Could it be the Nine Nine Thunder Tribulation, or maybe even Six Nine Thunder Tribulation?

As someone from the Xuantian Holy Land, he knew all about thunder tribulations and their detailed grading.

Swish!

A powerful pressure enveloped the area for thousands of miles.

Liu Qingming felt his scalp tingle, gasping in disbelief, “This… this is the Eight Nine Thunder Tribulation!!”

The Eight Nine Thunder Tribulation is the highest level of thunder tribulation, requiring one to endure seventy-two heavenly thunders to achieve immortalization.

It’s ridiculously hard, but if you survive, it’s like jumping through the dragon gate.

“Look at that direction, it’s coming from Mysterious Peak. Must be one of Junior Brother Ye’s disciples crossing tribulation to become immortal, haha, that’s great news!” The sect master, Xu Yonian, clapped his hands and laughed, his joy palpable.

“You mean Ye Junlin?” Liu Qingming’s expression twisted in bemusement. Isn’t that Red Demon Hong Qianye’s puppet?

Ever since he heard those mind-blowing tales from storytellers, he subconsciously labeled him a puppet hyped up by public opinion.

“Oh Immortal, looks like you’ve heard of my Junior Brother Ye’s legendary achievements,” Xu Yonian said, stroking his goat beard with pride.

Liu Qingming’s mouth twitched a few times.

He didn’t just hear about it, it was mind-boggling!

Whatever, let’s just watch and see what happens.

With the power of this tribulation, that person is definitely not going to make it!

Just then.

Li Wujie gazed at the ominous clouds above him, the brewing terror of lightning, his tough face betraying a hint of seriousness.

Though it wasn’t the chaotic version of Eight Nine Thunder Tribulation, this version was already quite powerful.

“Li wants to become immortal and grow stronger!”

“Come on, throw whatever tricks you got my way!”

Li Wujie pulled out his sword and pointed it at the sky, shouting with fierce intensity.

Just then, as everyone held their breath in tense anticipation.

A handsome young man appeared within the range of the thunder tribulation.

He seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, his handsome face smiling as if meeting an old friend, casually waving to the tribulation, “Hello, Little Thunder, we meet again.”

Seeing this,

Liu Qingming instantly gasped, his eyes wide as if looking at a lunatic!

The entire cultivation world knows that when someone is crossing a thunder tribulation, no unrelated individuals should appear. Otherwise, the tribulation’s power would increase, annihilating that person too.

That’s common sense!

But what’s happening right now?

Is that white-haired guy asking for death?!

“Oh Immortal, that’s my Junior Brother Ye! The one crossing tribulation is his third disciple, Li Wujie,” Xu Yonian introduced with a smile.

“Huh?” Liu Qingming’s eyes widened. So this person is the Senior Ye the outside world talks about, and also the Master of the Red Demon Hong Qianye!

“Wait, your junior brother intruded into the tribulation area and you’re not worried he’ll be affected?”

Noticing Xu Yonian’s cheerful demeanor, Liu Qingming started feeling something was off.

Isn’t this the normal reaction?

“Why should I be worried?” Xu Yonian blinked in confusion, genuinely asking back.

Hearing this answer, Liu Qingming froze, turning to look at the others, only to see that whether they were elders or disciples, they all wore expressions of eager anticipation.

Now, Liu Qingming was even more baffled.

Could it be that these people don’t understand the common knowledge about thunder tribulations?

Or have they twisted their minds, looking forward to their fellow disciples’ demise?

Liu Qingming couldn’t make sense of it, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He could only chalk up this bizarre phenomenon to the tricks of Red Demon Hong Qianye.

That’s right, it’s all his fault!

Boom!!!

The sound of thunder was jarring, the heavenly thunder roaring in all directions.

When it sensed a second target had appeared, the tribulation instinctively increased its power.

But then, it caught sight of an all too familiar figure that it never wanted to see again—a silver-haired youth who filled it with dread!

“Master, what brings you here?” Li Wujie asked.

Ye Junlin strolled over casually, speaking lightly, “I thought it over, and I figured Little Thunder should just let you become immortal directly. That way, we can skip the tedious process of crossing tribulation in between.”

Such simple words carried an unfathomable request.

“What the heck!”

Li Wujie was dumbstruck, almost dropping his sword.

Can it be done like this?

I’d already prepared to get zapped by thunder.

To casually become immortal like this—is that really okay?

In the midst of his swirling thoughts, Li Wujie glanced at the ominous clouds above, a fiery glint flashing in his eyes,

“Why not! As long as I can become immortal!”

Let’s be honest, some suffering is just unnecessary!

If there’s a shortcut, why not take it?

That’s called adapting!

“I’m pretty close with Little Thunder, so just a greeting should do.”

Ye Junlin said, looking at the thunder above, adding meaningfully, “Right, Little Thunder?”

Boom!

The lightning within the clouds flickered erratically, revealing the tribulation’s intense emotional turmoil.

At this moment, it felt anger and frustration. Previously, it had already bent the rules for its big disciple, allowing him to ascend smoothly.

Now this kid wants even more?!

Thinking it could beat me and act recklessly?

As the tribulation glared at the grinning Ye Junlin, it recalled the last time it was brutally beaten and started to tremble all over.

That sensation of being utterly thrashed—never again!

Caught in an internal struggle, the tribulation reluctantly chose to compromise, directly deeming Li Wujie successful in crossing tribulation and bestowing him a beam of light for becoming an immortal.

Swish!

Amidst countless shocked gazes, a radiant, auspicious light descended upon Li Wujie’s figure.

“Ah~”

Li Wujie’s voice was filled with sheer delight as every pore on his body radiated immortal light, and his entire being underwent a tremendous transformation.

His cultivation level skyrocketed from successful tribulation all the way to the Fifth Heavenly Immortal!

That’s right! Just by completing the Eight Nine Thunder Tribulation, you’re starting at the Fifth Heavenly Immortal level, with Immortal Power at the top tier!

“Haha, I’ve become immortal! I am an Immortal now!” Li Wujie laughed out loud, ecstatic.

“Keep it up.” Ye Junlin smiled.

Li Wujie immediately bowed down and knelt, face full of respect, “Thank you, Master!”

“Hey, you should thank Little Thunder, not me. I’m not the one who made you immortal,” Ye Junlin waved his hand dismissively.

“Oh, right, right, right!”

Li Wujie snapped back to reality, cupping his hands toward the massive tribulation cloud above, “Uh, Senior Thunder, your kindness is unforgettable!”

At that moment, the tribulation’s mood was beyond description.

It wanted to explode with anger, but seeing the young man present, it had to stifle its dissatisfaction into frustration.

After so many years, skipping all the middle steps and lowering the light for someone to become an immortal—it was a first!

“Wow, it really is Master Ye!”

“Connections like this are powerful!”

“Hey, this connection was earned through sheer strength!”

“Looks like if your power is strong enough, even the rules can change for you!”

“Today really blew my mind!”

…

The Xuantian Sect was in an uproar, discussions swirling as countless disciples and elders hailed the scene in awe.

Meanwhile,

Liu Qingming stood there like a wooden mannequin.

This scene completely shattered his understanding, leaving him shocked beyond belief.

The very tribulation that dictates the fates of countless cultivators actually listened to Ye Junlin’s words?

Openly giving his disciple a favor?

I can’t be hallucinating, right?!

What in the world is going on here?

Suddenly, Liu Qingming remembered the stories he heard in the teahouse, perfectly corresponding to the current situation.

Sweat poured down his forehead, soaking him from head to toe, his eyes trembling violently, teeth chattering.

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind, like a thunderclap.

“Could it be that the plots in ‘The Legend of Senior Ye’ are all true?!!”
