Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 449

Next, Li Ruotong’s hand produced an ancient communication ring, a treasure only the family masters through the generations were qualified to use to convey messages to her.

“Let me see if there’s any new news from the outside world during this time.” Li Ruotong infused a bit of immortal power and began checking the information reported by the current family master.

“Shocking! The number one powerhouse in the Ancient Luo Domain, Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign, was killed by a mysterious person while seeking revenge in the Jade Prosperity Domain, and the entire process was done with just one punch?!”

Upon seeing this, Li Ruotong clearly froze, her stunning face flashing a hint of doubt.

Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign was somewhat familiar to her; he was rumored to be the strongest fire-based practitioner among the Immortal Sovereigns, known as the Fire God.

Moreover, he was one of the few who could break through the million threshold in the Laws.

A guy like that was actually killed not long ago?

What surprised Li Ruotong the most was that the mysterious person only used one punch?!

Is this for real?

“If it were me now, without relying on any magical treasures, I could also do that with just my fists, but the problem is, I’ve perfected my Immortal Sovereign-level Laws. What about that mysterious person?”

Li Ruotong found it hard to believe.

She knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate to the level of thirty million Laws, especially the last step—it was as hard as a mortal reaching the heavens!

The comprehension, willpower, and faith needed were all indispensable; without any one of them, one would fall short halfway.

Thus, Li Ruotong confidently believed that currently, she was the only one in the entire North Cold Immortal Domain who had reached that level.

Even looking throughout the Immortal Realm, she was among the rarest!

Yet now, someone who allegedly achieved the same accomplishment appeared, which made Li Ruotong feel something she couldn’t accept.

Am I not unique?

Li Ruotong fell into doubt.

But soon, this thought was overturned.

“Heh, this is definitely exaggerated gossip. A place like the Jade Prosperity Domain, ranked at the bottom, could never produce that kind of existence!”

“It must be those local cultivators embellishing the truth, trying to hype up that guy,” she said with a cold sneer.

She firmly believed that to reach this level, she was the only one in the entire North Cold Immortal Domain!

…

While the outside world buzzed with commotion, far away in the Vast and Noble Domain, separated by countless miles from the Jade Prosperity Domain, stood an old man and a young man on a flat boat, admiring the unique beauty around them.

This was the Purple Cloud Sea, a renowned area in the Vast and Noble Domain.

The sea shimmered in purple, fantastically beautiful, with waves occasionally rising and crashing like floating purple clouds.

Due to the peculiar position of the Purple Cloud Sea, a severe disturbance from the thunderstorm magnetic field made it impossible for many practitioners to fly in such an environment, so they had to rely on boats to cross.

At the bow stood a Grey-clad Old Man, rowing with a long oar.

“Sir, you must be from out of town!”

The boatman asked with a smile.

“Oh? How did you know?” Ye Junlin became curious.

“Because my prices are the highest! The locals know to avoid the thunder, only outsiders would choose me, hahaha!”

As he spoke, the Grey-clad Old Man laughed happily, his wrinkled face blooming like a chrysanthemum.

Ye Junlin: “……”

What else could he say?

Speechless!

Canglang Jun snorted coldly, “Old man, do you think we’re short on money?”

“Of course not, of course not! This young master you’re accompanying, just look at his aura and appearance; he’s clearly from a big family, so he certainly won’t mind my small fee!”

The Grey-clad Old Man hurriedly flattered.

“Money isn’t the issue; it’s about the experience. If I wanted to cross the Purple Cloud Sea, I could have just flown over myself instead of sitting in this little broken boat, right?” Ye Junlin waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the Grey-clad Old Man struggled to hold back a laugh,

“Sir, you’re too funny! Crossing the Purple Cloud Sea isn’t that easy!”

“Even strong practitioners at the Immortal Emperor level can only manage it with immense difficulty, and there’s the risk of being struck by Heavenly Thunder. Considering the Purple Cloud Sea spans at least several million miles, it’s just not worth it.”

“That’s also why practitioners coming here can only choose to cross by boat.”

“And don’t let my little boat fool you; it’s crafted from special materials! It glides swiftly across the sea and can cover millions of miles in a single day; it’s definitely an envy among peers!”

The Grey-clad Old Man confidently introduced his boat, then chuckled, “Unless it’s an Immortal Sovereign-level character, no one can just ignore the thunderstorm magnetic field and cross this area quickly.”

“But such important figures would never ride my boat, right? Don’t you agree, master?”

His words hinted at teasing Ye Junlin.

“Hey, you…” Canglang Jun rolled up his sleeves, about to teach the boatman a lesson.

Ye Junlin waved his hand to stop him, signaling that it wasn’t necessary.

He could cross the Purple Cloud Sea in no time using his own strength.

But why bother?

Aren’t they here for sightseeing?

“By the way, have you heard? Something big has happened in the Vast and Noble Domain recently.”

The Grey-clad Old Man was a chatterbox, clearly wanting to talk to the guests; before Ye Junlin could respond, he continued.

“According to rumors, a Supreme Immortal Medicine appeared, possessing a certain unprecedented martial arts technique inheritance, leading many major powers to scramble for it! Eventually, that Supreme Immortal Medicine was forced into hiding in the Land of the Immortal Burial. Several powerful beings formed teams to search for it but returned empty-handed.”

“Now this is becoming a bigger deal; I’ve even heard that a few Immortal Sovereigns can’t help but want to venture to the Land of the Immortal Burial to compete for that special Supreme Immortal Medicine!”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Junlin furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of familiarity with the Supreme Immortal Medicine mentioned by the old man…

Supreme Immortal Medicine, with unparalleled inheritance.

Wait, isn’t that Little Black?

The image of the timid, introverted, bowl-cut boy immediately surfaced in Ye Junlin’s mind.

He remembered his fourth disciple, the Great Mushroom King, had originally transformed into the Supreme Immortal Medicine; plus, the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique he taught did fit the description of an unparalleled inheritance.

Who would’ve thought that after Little Mushroom ascended to the Immortal Realm and got lost, he ended up in such dire straits? Not only was he hunted by countless forces, but even Immortal Sovereign-level figures were interested in him.

What a mess!

“Boatman, what exactly is this Land of the Immortal Burial you speak of? Where is it?” Ye Junlin asked seriously.

“Hey, it seems you’re interested too, young master.”

The Grey-clad Old Man leaned on his oar, elaborating, “The Land of the Immortal Burial is an extremely dangerous forbidden zone!”

“It’s said that millions of years ago, two top Immortal Sovereigns erupted into battle. In the end, one of the Immortal Sovereigns, unable to win, chose self-detonation, resulting in at least dozens of major regions being affected, leading to great suffering for countless beings, turning it into a dead zone devoid of any vitality.”

“As time passed, the souls of the dead practitioners accumulated due to overwhelming obsession and resentment, forming countless malevolent spirits that attack and devour any living practitioners they encounter.”

“The Immortal Court had to send people to contain them so they could only operate in a limited area, eventually evolving into what is known today as the Land of the Immortal Burial!”

“Legends say that even Immortal Sovereign-level malevolent spirits are born there, but that’s just talk; it’s better to just listen. Even so, the Land of the Immortal Burial has become a place where many practitioners dare not step foot.”

“However, because of that Supreme Immortal Medicine, many practitioners dare to take risks and venture into the Land of the Immortal Burial; I can only say they are blinded by profit!”

“Master, if you want to join in the excitement, just cross the Purple Cloud Sea and head northeast for about four hundred thousand miles, and you should be able to see the area of the Land of the Immortal Burial.”

“But I still advise you to just observe from the outside; going in would be extremely dangerous!”

“After all, that Supreme Immortal Medicine has already attracted too many eyes, and I’ve heard that a few Immortal Sovereigns have their eyes on it; you don’t stand a chance!”

The Grey-clad Old Man warned.

“Thanks for the directions; here’s an extra tip for you.” Ye Junlin nodded, taking out a Supreme Immortal Crystal and tossing it over.

“Holy moly!”

The Grey-clad Old Man’s eyes sparkled, quickly reaching out to catch it, his excitement evident as his hands trembled.

This was the most generous customer he had seen during his time as a boatman!

A tip of a Supreme Immortal Crystal?!

Goodness!

That’s the money he’d never make even after thousands of trips!

“Sir, don’t worry! I will definitely exert all my effort to make this treasure work, ensuring you get ashore as quickly as possible!” the Grey-clad Old Man promised earnestly.

“No need, I’m leaving now.”

Ye Junlin grabbed Canglang Jun beside him, smiling.

With that, he swiftly soared into the air like a divine dragon, rushing forward over the Purple Cloud Sea.

Boom!

Sensing a living being flying at high altitude, the vast sky instantly turned dark, and many terrifying white lightning bolts descended, carrying immense power.

As an Immortal King, Canglang Jun’s scalp tingled in fear, but remembering he was beside an unparalleled Immortal Sovereign, he quickly calmed down.

Boom boom boom~

Ye Junlin’s body erupted with dazzling light, enveloping them in a giant golden light mass and blocking all the thunder.

Then, Ye Junlin ignored any resistance and shot straight across the Purple Cloud Sea towards the opposite shore.

Watching the vanishing figure, the Grey-clad Old Man at the bow stood dumbfounded.

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his legs turned weak, and he plopped down on the boat.

“Wow, crossing the Purple Cloud Sea, this is an Immortal Sovereign!!”

The Grey-clad Old Man never expected he would actually row a boat for an Immortal Sovereign in his lifetime.

What an unbelievable honor!
