Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 502

After countless years of hiding my strength, the Eternal Ancestor firmly believed that he had already reached the pinnacle of the Qing Tian Great Region, ranking amongst the top five even in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

However, now, an unknown young man had just shown him what true power really looked like!

“Friend Ye, thank you for helping me eliminate this great enemy. I am truly grateful,” the Eternal Ancestor said, cupping his hands earnestly.

With an expert of this caliber, he dared not show the slightest negligence.

Still, to Ye Junlin, this sounded a bit ironic.

After all, he had just attacked the guy without fully understanding the situation—awkward, right?

Fortunately, this Eternal Ancestor was strong enough. If it had been someone like the Burning Heaven Immortal Sovereign, he would have been punched straight into oblivion!

If that had happened, there would’ve been no room for redemption.

“Cough, cough. I apologize for misunderstanding the situation and directly attacking you.” Ye Junlin pretended to cough a few times, wearing an awkward expression.

“You are too modest, Friend Ye! I didn’t take this to heart at all! There’s no need for you to feel guilty!” the Eternal Ancestor said seriously.

As a loyal reader of “Emotional Intelligence,” he was well-versed in not letting the other party feel embarrassed in such situations.

“Then I shall follow what the Eternal Ancestor has said.” Suddenly, Ye Junlin’s expression softened, and he started to see the man more favorably.

“I wonder which force Friend Ye comes from?” the Eternal Ancestor tentatively asked, voicing the question he was most curious about.

In his view, a powerhouse of Ye Junlin’s caliber could never be an unknown nobody.

“He’s the ascender I told you about earlier,” Luo Qingwu quietly transmitted at that moment.

“What?!”

The Eternal Ancestor’s body shook, and his gaze towards Ye Junlin instantly changed.

A mysterious powerhouse from the Kunlun Realm, the famed Ye Tian Emperor, who had been making waves in the North Cold Immortal Domain just a while ago!

This explained the unbelievable strength!

“Ah, so you are that Ye Tian Emperor—my apologies!” the Eternal Ancestor again cupped his hands solemnly.

At his words, the entire scene shifted from dead silence to uproar!

“Ye Tian Emperor? He is the one from not long ago?!”

“That’s right! Silver-white hair, a handsome young man—those features match perfectly!”

“Whoa! He’s my idol! Known for taking out Immortal Sovereigns with a single punch, the biggest boss in the North Cold Immortal Domain!”

“Ye Tian Emperor! I love you! I want to be swept away by you, aahhh~”

…

The crowd was in a frenzy, cheers echoing endlessly.

Among them were bold statements that made people gasp in amazement.

“Friend Longsheng, you needn’t call me by my name; just address me as ‘friend’,” Ye Junlin said with a苦笑.

He hadn’t expected that revealing his identity would cause such a massive commotion.

Picking up on the implication, the Eternal Ancestor hurriedly complimented, “You’re being too humble! Since you say that, I’ll dare to address you as ‘friend’.”

“Friend Ye, please come to our Eternal Immortal Sect for a visit!”

“Sure!”

Ye Junlin nodded at the invitation.

Soon, the group entered the sect’s gates.

Inside the Eternal Immortal Sect, countless disciples and elders lined up to welcome them, a sea of heads with cheers rising and falling like waves.

Though they were amazed at their ancestor’s real strength, they were even more thrilled at the arrival of the legendary Ye Tian Emperor.

How could they not be excited seeing the real deal in person?

“This is the power of Senior Ye; wherever he goes, he’s the brightest star—so envy-inducing,” Canglang Jun remarked.

From the Kunlun Realm to the Immortal Realm, he had been illuminated by Ye Junlin’s brilliance, deeply affected.

Luo Qingwu took a swig from her wine gourd and looked a bit gloomy, muttering, “Hey, is there no one here to welcome me? This is such a lack of respect!”

Tang Yaoyao beside her wore a strange expression.

Welcome you?

Honestly, they’d be lucky not to have been cursed at…

Tang Yaoyao knew all too well that her master was not just notorious outside but also viewed as a major disaster within the sect.

So many disciples and elders gritted their teeth in hatred; how could they possibly give her a warm welcome?

“Ye Tian Emperor! I’m your fan!”

A True Inheritance Disciple rushed from the crowd, his face filled with fervor: “Please, inscribe your name on my fist! I want to have the strength to punch out an Immortal Sovereign like you!”

“Hm? What’s up with your hair…” Ye Junlin’s expression turned curious as he noticed the guy’s colorful, stylish hair.

“Your Excellency Ye Tian Emperor, this is the hairstyle of my idol, Invincible Bro! It’s all the rage! He’s been rampaging in the Supreme Secret Realm, totally unbeatable! If I have his hairstyle and your inscription, I, Wang Chong, will be invincible too! Hahaha…”

Wang Chong laughed excitedly.

“Uh,” Ye Junlin’s mouth twitched a few times.

Having such absurd thoughts was honestly hard to evaluate!

When the Eternal Ancestor saw that familiar hairstyle, memories he wished to forget came rushing back, and a vein bulged on his forehead. He shouted:

“You annoying brat! You’re a True Inheritance Disciple of our sect! How could you show up with a hairstyle like that? And you dare to make such an over-the-top request from a distinguished guest? That’s just asking for punishment!”

“Now, you’re officially stripped of your True Inheritance Disciple status! Go to the Wall of Reflection for five hundred thousand years and then think about coming back!”

“Huh?”

Wang Chong, who had just been full of excitement, was instantly dumbfounded, unable to believe he’d face such a harsh punishment.

“Old, Ancestor, I was wrong! I really was wrong!” Wang Chong felt incredibly wronged but didn’t dare rebut the Eternal Ancestor, so he had to grovel.

After all, he had just tried a new hairstyle and asked his idol for an autograph, yet he was facing such a severe punishment. Anyone would feel wronged!

“Ancestor, Wang Chong has shown good performance over the years; this punishment is too…”

Wei Sect Master and the elders braved the situation to speak up.

To others, the Eternal Ancestor’s reaction seemed overly dramatic; was he making a mountain out of a molehill?

Seeing this, Ye Junlin couldn’t stand by anymore.

Come on, this Wang Chong is my number one fan. What’s the meaning of treating him like this?

What’s wrong with the hairstyle? Is it that serious to you?

Honestly speechless!

“Longsheng, why do you react so strongly to that hairstyle? Care to share your reasoning?” After a moment, Ye Junlin couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

The Eternal Ancestor remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he squeezed out through clenched teeth, “Nothing, just think that hairstyle… is totally hideous!”

Ye Junlin: “？？？”

Alright, alright, you have taste. You have taste, I get it!
