Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 405

He came here mainly because something unexpected happened in the Eastern Domain, and he couldn’t handle the pressure any longer, so he decided to seek help in the Central Region.

“By the way, when I was on my way here, I kept hearing the cultivators talking about some Ye Alliance Leader, bragging about how amazing he is. It really seems like the Central Region is truly filled with talents,” he said.

“It’s hard to imagine just how powerful that Ye Alliance Leader must be to earn the admiration of cultivators here in the Central Region.”

Cangjian Peak Master thought back over the past few days, hearing about all sorts of exploits of the Immortal Dao Alliance Leader, and felt genuine admiration arise within him.

Suddenly, he thought of something and sighed, “Even though Junior Brother Ye has performed impressively in the Eastern Domain, he really needs to tone it down here in the Central Region. After all, there’s always someone better, and there are heavens beyond the heavens!”

Cangjian Peak Master didn’t doubt Ye Alliance Leader’s identity; after all, the Central Region was vast and had countless people with the same name, so he wasn’t going to assume every Ye was the Junior Brother he knew.

With a heart full of trepidation, he made his way to the entrance of Xuantian Holy Land.

“Who goes there?” A disciple guarding the gate glared and shouted.

Cangjian Peak Master didn’t dare to be negligent. He hurriedly took out his sect token and handed it over, speaking respectfully, “I come from Xuantian Sect in the Eastern Domain. I would like to see your sect’s Holy Master.”

“Xuantian Sect?” The disciple took the token with a frown.

“Exactly! My Xuantian Sect and your Xuantian Holy Land come from the same lineage. We have something minor to discuss, so I kindly ask you to relay the message,” Cangjian Peak Master smiled awkwardly, his confidence shaky.

These days, the last thing one wanted was a broke relative showing up, so he was a bit scared that Xuantian Holy Land would slam the door in his face.

“By the way, I remember that our Supreme Holy Master seems to have come from Xuantian Sect too.”

Another disciple at the gate suddenly recalled something and quickly reminded him.

“Whoa!”

That disciple instantly gasped, looking at Cangjian Peak Master with a newfound respect, quickly bowing and extending his hand, his attitude immensely enthusiastic, “Esteemed Senior, please come in!”

“Hmm?”

Cangjian Peak Master was dumbfounded, feeling very surprised.

Wait, what’s this Supreme Holy Master?

“Could it be that the Supreme Holy Master is referring to Junior Brother Ye?” Cangjian Peak Master pondered uneasily along the way.

He wondered about the title, and since it included ‘Holy Master’, was it related to the Holy Master of the Xuantian Holy Land?

“Excuse me, young friend, but may I ask, between your Supreme Holy Master and your Holy Master, which one holds a higher status…”

Cangjian Peak Master cautiously inquired.

That disciple replied solemnly, “Naturally, the status of the Supreme Holy Master is higher!”

Upon hearing this,

Cangjian Peak Master’s eyelids twitched madly.

Holy smokes, Junior Brother Ye is actually doing that well here?

It was one thing for him to be a Supreme Elder in Xuantian Sect, but to come to Xuantian Holy Land and still be above the Holy Master?

Impressive!

Just as expected of him!

Realizing he had this background, Cangjian Peak Master immediately straightened his back and puffed out his chest, walking with confidence.

“The Supreme Holy Master is usually inside; just go in and find him, esteemed Senior.”

Arriving near an elegant courtyard, the disciple respectfully greeted and left, not daring to stay longer.

Cangjian Peak Master couldn’t contain his inner excitement and strode toward the courtyard.

Suddenly, he saw an old daoist sitting in front of the courtyard, cradling a half-meter-long bone club and licking it like a maniac, completely lost in the moment.

“Whoa!”

“Junior Brother Ye even specially raised a dog!”

Cangjian Peak Master scrutinized the old daoist’s appearance, speaking with a hint of disdain, “What a pity, this dog is old and ugly, and it’s such a glutton; having it around just lowers your status.”

As soon as he said that,

Gou Buli, who was focused on licking the bone, suddenly froze, perked up his ears, and was nearly in disbelief at what he heard.

With narrowed eyes, he glared at Cangjian Peak Master, speaking ominously, “Kid, you want to say that again?”

No kidding.

I used to be the watchdog for Empress Fuyao herself, and she never minded me being old and ugly; who the hell are you to judge?

Feeling the aura of an Immortal Emperor emanating from the old man in front of him, Cangjian Peak Master broke into a cold sweat and stammered, “U-uh, esteemed Dog Master, I’m the one with bad eyesight; please don’t take it to heart…”

He seriously didn’t expect that Junior Brother Ye’s residence would have a watchdog who was an Immortal Emperor!

Even though he had just advanced to the Immortal Sovereign stage, compared to an Immortal Emperor, he was nothing!

“Hmph, old man sees you’re unfamiliar; are you from outside? Spill the beans, or I’ll eat you in one bite!”

While speaking, Gou Buli bared his teeth, exhibiting a fierce demeanor.

“Please calm down, esteemed Dog Master! I’m from Xuantian Sect, and your Supreme Holy Master is my mentor. I came specifically to seek his help,”

Cangjian Peak Master said with a mournful face.

Upon hearing this, Gou Buli paused, scrutinizing Cangjian Peak Master closely, suspicion in his eyes, “Really?”

“Absolutely true, esteemed Dog Master!”

“Then follow me.”

Gou Buli stood up and grabbed him, leading him inside.

Clatter.

The sound of mahjong grew louder.

When they entered the courtyard, seeing a familiar figure, Cangjian Peak Master was so moved he nearly cried out, “Junior Brother Ye!”

Ye Junlin instinctively turned his head, surprised, “Senior Brother Jian, what are you doing here?”

“This is?” Jiang Tianming and the others looked on in astonishment.

“Oh, let me introduce, this is a senior brother from my former sect,” Ye Junlin said.

“Senior Ye, you have such a refined taste; obviously, you could cultivate solo at this era but chose to join a sect to experience life,” Canglang Jun sighed.

Everyone nodded.

After all, some mighty beings, after being reborn, would choose to join a sect for a taste of their youthful days or marry and start a family, building a cultivation clan.

To them, everything was starting fresh, so why not play around a bit and add some fun?

“Junior Brother Ye, you’re doing so well! Quickly tell me how you pulled one over on the Holy Master of Xuantian Holy Land? I heard your status is the highest here!”

Cangjian Peak Master said excitedly, “And this ‘Supreme Holy Master’ title? It sounds ludicrously made-up, haha…”

“Little Jiang, go explain to him,” Ye Junlin said, looking strangely, and pointed at Jiang Tianming.

Jiang Tianming stepped forward with a dark face,

“This friend, I am the Holy Master of Xuantian Holy Land. Senior Ye didn’t pull a fast one on me; it’s entirely of my own volition!”

“And this title was given by me, but I, Jiang, am not silly!”

The whole place went silent.

Cangjian Peak Master stood frozen, then recoiled,

How embarrassing~
