Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 299

Although he could use the Order Ring to strip Ye Junlin of his cultivation, once the Order Ring was activated, he would have to wait ten thousand years to use it again.

Wasting such a precious opportunity just to deal with Ye Junlin, Situ Yan felt it was utterly unworthy!

Even though Ye Junlin seemed incredibly powerful and posed a huge threat to him, Situ Yan had to suppress his impulses for the greater good.

Because now was not the time to use the Order Ring!

As for the Sea Whale Ancestor, he had no choice but to give him up due to the circumstances!

After all, the world was vast; finding a new collaborator was easy!

So, amidst the desperate cries for help from the Sea Whale Ancestor, Situ Yan hurriedly led his subordinates to flee…

“Who is Friend Situ?” Ye Junlin’s eyes flashed as he halted the momentum of the Cangyuan Sword, with his flying sword circling around, as if searching for a target.

Seeing no response for a long time, the Sea Whale Ancestor realized he was abandoned and, in despair, shouted at Ye Junlin:

“Why? A powerful being like you, I should have heard of you before!”

“Who on earth are you?!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor was certain that this youth was an Immortal Emperor from ancient times, or even a being beyond that level.

But the problem was, he had never heard of Ye Junlin’s name, which left him feeling extremely frustrated and thinking Ye Junlin was pulling a fast one on him.

At this point, the Sea Whale Ancestor just wanted some clarity!

Before Ye Junlin could speak, Li Wujie interjected angrily:

“Have your eyes gone blind? My Master was once the strongest Immortal Emperor, the Ye Tian Emperor who suppressed the dark turmoil!”

Li Wujie could no longer tolerate the Sea Whale Ancestor’s ignorance; he wished the whole world knew just how impressive his Master was.

Sea Whale Ancestor: “???”

The strongest Immortal Emperor, Ye Tian Emperor!

And he suppressed the dark turmoil?

What the hell is this even about?

The Sea Whale Ancestor looked confused since, during his time, he had never heard of a figure called Ye Tian Emperor, let alone anything about suppressing dark turmoil.

“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible! Don’t try to fool me!” The Sea Whale Ancestor was extremely agitated.

“Old man, it’s just your own ignorance!” Li Wujie responded disdainfully.

Those words struck the Sea Whale Ancestor like a sharp blade straight to the heart.

Seeing Li Wujie so sure of himself, the Sea Whale Ancestor fell into deep self-doubt, muttering to himself:

“Could it be that I really am ignorant?”

Was there really a figure like Ye Tian Emperor in the ancient Kunlun Realm?

Feeling his will shaken, the Sea Whale Ancestor even considered a possibility: maybe he had slept for too long and missed crucial information.

At the same time, he felt a wave of anger!

It was clear that if Situ Yan had used that ultimate treasure, he could have turned the tide, but instead, he chose to avoid confrontation and leave him to be slaughtered by such a powerful being.

If only he had known, he wouldn’t have stuck his neck out like this!

After sleeping for so many years, before he even started living it up outside, he ended up in such a dire situation.

“Damn it, everyone can just die!”

The Sea Whale Ancestor, his mentality exploding, planned to self-detonate his immortal essence, taking all beings in the sea down with him.

Swish!

As soon as the words left his mouth.

A golden streak pierced through his body, endless Sword Qi erupted, and with a look of terror, the Sea Whale Ancestor’s entire form turned to dust, disappearing into thin air.

The Cangyuan Sword trailed behind with golden arcs, like a fish swimming back, its golden blade shimmering, releasing a clear melodic sword sound.

A single, deadly move!

Fast, fierce, and precise!

Ye Junlin unleashed his Divine Sense, scanning wildly; upon realizing that the “Friend Situ” the Sea Whale Ancestor mentioned was gone, he knew the other side had bolted.

“Heh, pretty quick on your feet, huh?”

Ye Junlin waved to retract his flying sword, a cold smirk curling on his lips.

He knew that guy was definitely a notable figure from the Bright Clan, and he had intended to meet, only to scare him off because he had showcased too much strength!

“Old Ancestor, you died so miserable~,” the Sea Clan cried in despair.

“Don’t worry, Master Li will send you to meet him soon!” Li Wujie chuckled, swiftly wielding his black sword in a flash.

The Electric Eel King, eyes wide with rage, crackling with terrifying lightning, roared, “I’ll fight you!”

As a noble Giant Electric Eel, how could he just submit?

Pshh!

After two moves, his head was severed, and his form transformed into his true shape—a massive silver electric eel over a hundred feet long.

The other commanders, frightened, fled one after another, but were methodically suppressed by Li Wujie and Hong Qianye.

Among them, the Tiger Shark Commander looked at Ye Junlin, tears streaming, saying, “Senior, I’ve got no fins left. What more do you want from me?”

Ye Junlin pondered for a few seconds and blurted out:

“Sweet and sour shark, stir-fried shark fin soup, shark skin soup, eggplant shark fillets, spicy fried shark intestines!”

These several dishes involving shark were easy for Ye Junlin to rattle off.

If you ask why he knew them so well, the answer is a recipe provided by the system!

That magical recipe, fully titled “Recipes of All Races,” recorded countless cooking methods of various races.

Of course, Ye Junlin was only in charge of eating, and his disciple Bai Xiaoxi was responsible for cooking.

Master and disciple had clear divisions of labor!

The Tiger Shark Commander grew increasingly terrified, trembling all over, eventually foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground, passed out.

He had never imagined his body had such a plethora of culinary uses.

The Human Race was truly brutal!

“Wrap it up!”

Ye Junlin waved his sleeve, loaded up with his disciples and returned victorious.

Heavenly Daughter Country.

Dongfang Jing and her mother waited in anticipation.

When they saw Ye Junlin and his crew return, their hearts couldn’t have been happier.

This meant the crisis in the North Sea Region was completely resolved!

“Master Ye, what’s all this…” Dongfang Mengyao’s beautiful eyes widened, staring at the sea clan revealing their true forms.

“As you can see, they’re all ingredients!” Ye Junlin stated.

“Can we have a delicious seafood feast again?” Dongfang Jing eagerly asked; she still remembered the last time’s shark fin delicacy.

“Leave it to Bai Xiaoxi!”

Bai Xiaoxi, wearing a chef’s hat, brandished a kitchen knife, her cute face radiating confidence.

Next,

One dish after another of delightful seafood was prepared, wafting steaming aromas that made mouths water.

“Ah Kun, it’s time to eat!” Ye Junlin called out.

Rumble~

Thunderous sounds echoed.

In the depths of the sky, a massive being rode the currents down to the imperial palace, causing panic among the citizens of the Imperial Capital.

“Ye, Senior Ye…” Dongfang Jing’s face changed dramatically; this giant beast looked just like the legendary divine beast Kunpeng!

“Don’t panic; this is my mount. It’s leaving after this meal, so I called it over for dinner,” Ye Junlin explained with a smile.

“A mount?”

Dongfang Jing’s brows furrowed, gaining a new understanding of Ye Junlin’s power.

After all, any Celestial Immortal level being in the Central Region was a significant powerhouse.

Yet, such a being could only be Ye Junlin’s mount?

Thinking about this,

Dongfang Jing bit her red lip, her gaze swirling, a bold thought emerging in her mind:

“If only I could be Master Ye’s mount, how wonderful that would be…”

Noticing Dongfang Jing’s expression, Ye Junlin’s eyelids twitched.

This girl, she doesn’t have any weird ideas again, does she?

Right after,

Kunpeng transformed into a youthful form, styled with a center part, eyes sparkling with excitement, exclaiming:

“Master! Ah Kun is here for dinner!”

Seeing the spread of delicious dishes, Ah Kun’s mouth watered, wishing he could devour it all.

But he knew if he did, he would end up at Ye Junlin’s mercy!

“Eat, and then we’ll be on our way,” Ye Junlin said with a chuckle.

It’s just that everyone found that sentence sounded a bit odd.

At the outdoor banquet, people were eating heartily, their faces filled with delight.

During the meal, due to the high quality of the ingredients, Bai Xiaoxi, being an immortal chef, prepared everything perfectly, and as the food entered their bellies, their bodies radiated glowing light, their skin shimmering magnificently with diverse extraordinary phenomena.

“This sea cucumber soup is amazing!”

“The grilled squid tastes phenomenal!”

“Fugu sashimi is lovely, smooth and delicious!”

“Wow, this snake meat skewer is ridiculously good!”

…

Boom!

Hong Qianye took the opportunity to cultivate; with his exceptional talent, he quickly broke through to the ninth layer of Profound Immortal.

Li Wujie and the others also gradually broke through to the third layer of Profound Immortal.

This was the difference brought about by surviving various levels of tribulation!

After all, for cultivators, good ingredients were a great tonic, beneficial for strengthening the body and cleansing the physical form.

Dongfang Jing practiced her Heavenly Daughter Technique and felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen; she was drenched in fragrant sweat, her cheeks flushed.

Half a tea time later, she ascended from the ninth layer of Celestial Immortal to the first layer of Profound Immortal!

Overjoyed at this breakthrough, Dongfang Jing felt this transformation came too suddenly.

Her daughter, Dongfang Mengyao, also sensed the change, her aura steadily rising, her eyes sparkling with brilliant light.

Rumble…

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, a strong sense of oppression enveloped the Imperial Capital.

The tribulation was coming!

Dongfang Mengyao was about to ascend to immortality!
