Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 488

“Brother Tianming, back in the day, the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign was hated by everyone. As the disciple of the Void Truth View, inheriting his legacy is risky. If it gets out, the consequences could be unimaginable,” Bao Nishuang said, forcing herself to speak.

Lu Tianming sneered, “You don’t need to worry about that. I know what I’m doing. The main issue is that I had a major setback in my cultivation, and my condition has declined sharply. The Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign’s unique techniques can help me absorb women’s essence to strengthen myself. Once I regain my peak, dealing with Luo Qingwu will be a piece of cake.”

“So, during this time, I need your assistance in training. After all, your cultivation level is that of an Immortal Emperor, making you one of the top female cultivators in the Void Truth View!”

Hearing this, Bao Nishuang’s heart raced. She certainly didn’t want to be treated as a furnace for someone’s cultivation because those kinds of female cultivators often ended up in a miserable state.

She admired Lu Tianming but that didn’t mean she would give herself unconditionally. Now that she had seen his true face, she felt an intense sense of resistance.

“Um, I need to think about this for a few days before I give you an answer,” Bao Nishuang quickly said and rushed to leave, making it obvious that she was rejecting him.

“Hmm, are you sure?”

Noticing the Pink Skirt Girl’s reluctance to cooperate, a strange glint flickered in Lu Tianming’s eyes.

Secretly activating the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique!

“Ah…”

In an instant, Bao Nishuang shuddered, her body tingling as if electrified, her heart racing and a strange feeling stirred within her.

Her face turned as rosy as peach blossoms as she turned to Lu Tianming, her gaze full of deep affection, “Brother Tianming, I was just joking earlier. I’m willing to do anything for you~”

Lu Tianming was taken aback. It was the first time he had used this technique, and he didn’t expect it to be so effective.

It was evident just how skilled the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign had been—no wonder so many male cultivators viewed her as an enemy.

Who wouldn’t be envious of such abilities?

“During this time, I want to take full advantage of you. Any objections?” Lu Tianming pushed his luck.

“Absolutely none! As long as Brother Tianming is satisfied, I can become any form you desire!”

Bao Nishuang blushed, willingly kneeling at his feet, her sweet voice captivating.

At this moment, she had completely lost her rationality, becoming the ultimate lovestruck fool, determined to devote herself to Lu Tianming.

This was the terrifying power of the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique!

“Very good.”

Watching the obedient Bao Nishuang, Lu Tianming’s smile grew more twisted.

He began to fantasize about what it would be like to use this technique on Luo Qingwu.

Just the thought of that assertive woman in white being under his control excited him.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the kneeling Bao Nishuang and smirked,

“You, turn around!”

Bao Nishuang obediently complied.

An idea flashed through his mind.

So tiny!

…….

Time passed.

In Mo Yun City, inside a luxurious large inn, the early-rising Ye Junlin stretched lazily, instinctively saying,

“Xiaoxi, I want some breakfast.”

The guest room was empty, with no response.

Realizing, Ye Junlin slapped his forehead and chuckled, “I forgot again, Xiaoxi isn’t here.”

His second disciple, Bai Xiaoxi, usually took care of his meals. When she was around, she would always find inventive ways to make delicious dishes and prepared various snacks every morning, spoiling Ye Junlin’s appetite.

So during this time without Bai Xiaoxi, he inevitably felt a bit out of sorts, instinctively calling out for her.

“Ugh, such bad luck, splitting up right before ascending to the Immortal Realm. I hope they’re doing well wherever they are.”

After all, the Immortal Realm is vast, and finding someone there would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But thankfully, before flying up, Hong Qianye and the others were all at the level of Immortal Emperors, so theoretically, they could fare well even there.

Ye Junlin had strong confidence in that.

As for the Great Mushroom King’s earlier dangerous encounters, they were special cases; after all, his true form was supreme immortal medicine!

Suddenly, a gentle knock came at the door.

Outside, Luo Qingwu’s voice rang, “Ye Daoyou, may I come in?”

Ye Junlin sensed a hint of nervousness in her voice, as if she had thought this through deeply before deciding to speak.

“Come in.”

The door opened.

A beauty clad in white walked in gracefully, her figure perfectly accentuated, her long legs encased in sheer white stockings, exuding an alluring charm.

In her hands, she carried a delicate tray with two wine cups and a wine pot.

“What’s going on this early?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

“Um…”

Luo Qingwu paused, surprise flashing across her features, then quickly realized her mind had wandered. She smiled to hide her embarrassment,

“Nothing much, just wanted to share some wine with you. This is my prized collection!”

Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered, “At this hour, you came looking for me to drink?”

He thought her behavior was quite odd because this girl was usually a heavy drinker, hoarding good wine for herself and never sharing. Why was she seeking him out today?

Something felt off.

“Time doesn’t matter when it comes to drinking! Plus, this wine has some invigorating effects,” Luo Qingwu chuckled.

Ye Junlin: “……”

Who do you think you’re talking to?

Do I really need that?

“Just kidding, this wine is called Immortal Sovereign Brew, made by a peculiar Immortal Sovereign who doesn’t flaunt his title and simply calls himself the brewing immortal. He dedicated his life to making wine and making friends through it.”

Luo Qingwu set the tray on the table, plopping down into a chair and began telling tales about the brewing immortal.

“His wine is often irreplaceable, and even some formidable Immortal Sovereigns had tried to trade for it, but he welcomed no favors.”

“Later, people realized that the brewing immortal only offered his wine for free to those he liked. Regardless of your status, if he found you to his liking, you could taste it. But even if you offered high prices, he’d look down on you!”

“Oh, what a character,” Ye Junlin said, intrigued, sitting down as well. “So, getting his wine means you hit it off with him?”

Luo Qingwu’s expression turned strange, “He was gone before I was born. As for this wine, I obtained it as a reward for breaking the Immortal Wheel limit. The Eternal Ancestor sent it to me specifically.”

That’s right, this wine was given to Luo Qingwu by the Eternal Ancestor. When she had a taste, she found it so exquisite that she couldn’t bear to drink it all at once, saving it until now.

Ye Junlin stared in shock, “He’s dead? Did he fail the imperial tribulation…?”

“No, he was killed by the extraterrestrial demons,” Luo Qingwu’s eyes hardened, her voice grave.
