Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 433

“Dear fellows, the portal to the Immortal Realm has opened! If anyone wants to ascend, now’s your chance!”

“Immortal Realm? I used to have high hopes for it, but now I’ve realized, staying in the Kunlun Realm isn’t half bad!”

“Hey, I see we’re on the same page! I can become an Immortal right here in the Kunlun Realm, why take the risk of ascending to the Immortal Realm?”

“Exactly, I think the same!”

…

As the portal to the Immortal Realm reactivated, the Kunlun Realm erupted in chatter, filling all five domains.

You see, the Immortal Realm has always been a dream destination for cultivators from the Kunlun Realm.

Due to the decline of the training environment, the criteria for becoming a True Immortal in the Kunlun Realm had been extremely harsh, making ascension to the Immortal Realm the ultimate wish of countless cultivators throughout the ages.

But times have changed!

With the resurgence of the Kunlun Realm, becoming an Immortal is no longer an unreachable goal.

Besides, ascending to the Immortal Realm means heading to an unfamiliar place where you’re a complete stranger—it’s hard to navigate without connections.

That’s why many cultivators, upon sensing the portal had reopened, weren’t particularly thrilled and felt a bit resistance.

After all, the Immortal Realm is no longer the only way to achieve greatness in the path of immortality in their eyes!

The path to immortality lies right beneath their feet!

Why leave their homeland for a distant land?

This reflects the true feelings of many cultivators today.

Especially for those ancient resurgents, who, upon hearing about the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm, had no emotional reaction whatsoever.

The reason is simple: they intentionally missed that opportunity and chose to stay in the Kunlun Realm back then.

Thus, the presence of the Immortal Realm is hardly enticing for them!

Right now, all five domains are bustling on the surface, but few are willing to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Everyone’s clear-headed, fully aware of the current situation.

“Ah, the Immortal Realm is too competitive; I’m better off staying in the Kunlun Realm and not getting caught up in the chaos,” said the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, feigning lament while inwardly absolutely unwilling to go to the Immortal Realm.

As if!

The Immortal Realm is filled with big shots, a gathering place for the true strong of ancient Kunlun, and after so many years, its foundation must be even more formidable. Why would he want to run to the Immortal Realm to seek recognition?

Isn’t it great right here in the Kunlun Realm?

Honestly, it’s natural for the Green Lotus Sword Immortal to think this way.

Now, as the Vice Master of the Immortal Alliance, he stands just a notch below many, walking tall across the five domains, and ranks among the top in combat power of this age.

He’s definitely oozing prestige, shining no matter where he goes.

But if he went to the Immortal Realm, there’d be so many stronger than him!

He’d feel quite the drop in status!

Furthermore, compared to the Immortal Realm, the Kunlun Realm is currently limited to the Immortal Emperor stage.

When it comes to potential for future development, as a once-magnificent world, it far surpasses that man-made Immortal Realm!

Let whoever wants to go, go!

But Ye Junlin thinks differently; upon learning about the portal to the Immortal Realm reopening, his mind began to race.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve triggered a random task: successfully ascend to the Immortal Realm, reward: number of Immortal Sovereign-level laws increased by 30 million!】

In his mind, the system’s prompt chimed in.

Ye Junlin’s eyes sparkled.

If he had 30 million laws when he reached the Immortal Sovereign stage, then when he promotes to Immortal Emperor, he could obtain the Immortal Path Crown of great celestial stature!

That’d put him far ahead right from the start!

What a wonderful feeling!

Moreover, having spent some time in the Kunlun Realm was getting a bit dull.

There were no opponents to spar with and no one to leech cultivation experience from.

Unless he waited for successors to catch up to him, it was unbearably boring.

But now, with the portal to the Immortal Realm back in business, it undoubtedly offered him a fantastic opportunity for advancement.

In the Immortal Realm, there will not only be Immortal Sovereign-level experts like him but also high-ranking Immortal Emperors.

In light of this, he absolutely had to go!

As his thoughts raced,

Ye Junlin made up his mind and said seriously, “Old Qing, I’ll leave the Immortal Alliance in your hands; I plan to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the next couple of days.”

“Ah?”

At this, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal’s face was filled with shock.

The strongest being of this age, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, the backbone of countless cultivators, was actually choosing to leave Kunlun and ascend to the Immortal Realm?

This, this, this…

“Look at that face of yours. Is there a problem with my decision?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal, looking reluctant, urged, “Master Ye, there isn’t much good about the Immortal Realm. Why go all the way there?”

“Old Qing, I’ve got to criticize you for this,”

Ye Junlin said sternly, “Since the Immortal Realm is more challenging, why wouldn’t I go? We cultivators should forge ahead without hesitation!”

His tone was resolute and powerful.

Upon hearing this,

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal felt a flush rising to his cheeks, utterly ashamed.

Compared to this young man, his perspective was worlds apart.

This guy has no fear of challenges, and even in the competitive Immortal Realm, he seems undeterred!

“–>

What Master Ye said makes perfect sense.”

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal bowed deeply, respectful, “I’ve learned from this!”

“Hmm.”

Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

What he had just said was so convincing that it even made him believe it.

“While I’m away, make sure to manage the Immortal Alliance well. There must be no slip-ups; otherwise, when I return, I’ll have a talk with you!”

“Understood!”

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal’s expression turned serious, feeling the weight of his responsibility, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Soon,

When Ye Junlin shared his ascension news with those around him, everyone was in disbelief.

In this day and age, is there still a need to ascend to the Immortal Realm?

They thought no one would be willing to ascend, yet the first to do so was none other than the strongest being of this era!

“Junior Brother Ye! Please don’t go, don’t go ahhhh~” The Cangjian Peak Master lunged forward, clutching Ye Junlin’s leg tightly, wailing emotionally.

He looked pitiful, but not a single tear fell.

Seeing this, Ye Junlin had a hefty vein popping on his forehead, disdainfully saying, “Get up, the act’s gone a bit overboard.”

The wailing stopped abruptly.

After being called out, the Cangjian Peak Master sheepishly got up, scratching his head, “Yeah, I guess my acting skills need a lot of work.”

Smack!

Just then, the Tianxiang Peak Master slapped him on the back of the head, glaring, “Hey, Jian, what’s got into you? You think it’s funny?”

“Exactly, exactly,” the other peak masters sneered.

The Cangjian Peak Master knew he’d become the clown, lowering his head to retreat into the crowd, sulking.

Was it really necessary to react so dramatically?

This crowd seriously has no sense of humor…

“Everyone, Master Ye is no ordinary person; it’s completely understandable for him to make this decision. We shouldn’t worry about him; who knows, next time he returns, he might even be an Immortal Emperor!” The Xuantian Sect Master Xu Yonian joked.

“Well said,” Ye Junlin flashed a smile of appreciation.

Becoming a sect master is no joke.

“Since Master wants to go to the Immortal Realm, why don’t we follow along?” Li Wujie proposed.

“I agree.” Hong Qianye nodded.

After all, they had gotten used to him; if they were to stay without this young man, they’d find it quite meaningless.

“Master Ye, I heard you’re heading to the Immortal Realm?” Senior Gou hurried over after learning the news from the Green Lotus Sword Immortal.

“What’s up? Do you want to come along?” Ye Junlin asked with interest.

This old dog used to be the gatekeeper for Empress Fuyao, interacting with many Immortal Emperors. If he ascended with him, his connections would surely be valuable.

Who would’ve thought, Senior Gou shook his head vigorously, “The Immortal Realm? Not even a dog would go there!”

“Huh?!”

With those words, Ye Junlin’s eyes sharpened.

The atmosphere suddenly grew cold, dropping to a freezing point.

Everyone stared at the old man with disheveled hair, incredulous, as if saying:

“How dare you?”

In an instant,

Senior Gou was sweating bullets, anxiously explaining,

“Wait, wait, don’t misunderstand! I meant I’m like a dog, thus I won’t be going!”

Hearing this, Ye Junlin furrowed his brow, contemplating the previous remark carefully.

His true form is a dog; seemingly, that wasn’t wrong!

Looks like he overthought it.

“Be more mindful with your words next time,” Ye Junlin spoke sternly, his tone laden with warning.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

As the oppressive atmosphere disappeared, Senior Gou felt much lighter.

He was still trembling with fear, feeling lucky!

That was a close call…
