Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 503

“Seeing things makes you think of people.”

As soon as the Eternal Ancestor spotted that hairstyle, it reminded him of the strongest opponent he faced that day in the Supreme Secret Realm.

That’s why he rejected such outrageous hairstyles within the sect—seeing one would… make him break down!

The reason is that simple!

However, for the sake of face, the Eternal Ancestor definitely couldn’t say it outright, so he just used the excuse of the hairstyle being ugly.

And Ye Junlin felt miserable, wanting to refute but having no place to start, eventually boiling it down to one thought in his heart:

“Truly, a wild boar can’t appreciate fine grain!”

Arriving at the Great Hall.

A group of people enjoyed the highest treatment.

After some polite exchanges, the Eternal Ancestor turned to Luo Qingwu and asked, “Little Luo, why did you kill Lu Tianming from the Void Truth View?”

His tone appeared critical, but was actually filled with concern.

Among the entire Eternal Immortal Sect, the Eternal Ancestor had the highest hopes for Luo Qingwu, believing her talent was extraordinary and she was individualistic, destined for heights he couldn’t imagine.

So, no matter what happened, as long as he could suppress it, it wasn’t a hassle in his eyes—just a matter of spending some time.

“Because he deserved it!”

Luo Qingwu replied in a deep voice.

“Nonsense! No matter what, he was the disciple of the Void Truth View. You can’t just decide to kill him without discussing it with us. If it weren’t for the Ancestor being all-powerful, our Eternal Immortal Sect would have been reduced to ruins before you got back!” Wei Sect Master snapped angrily.

The elders nodded, feeling that Luo Qingwu’s actions were too reckless, and the entire sect nearly faced disaster because of her.

“Hey, who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”

Luo Qingwu said, clearly displeased. She suddenly grabbed the table and swung it towards Wei Sect Master’s head, ringing his bell and leaving him dizzy, eyes filled with stars.

“You… you you you…” Wei Sect Master was dumbfounded. Was he really getting humiliated like this as a sect master?

The most terrifying part was that all his cultivation seemed to be suppressed, leaving him helpless as she repeatedly smashed the table onto his head.

Though the damage wasn’t great, the humiliation was incredibly strong!

“Stop! I’m the sect master!”

Wei Qingsheng’s face turned red, yelling with all his might, trying to use his title to get Luo Qingwu to cease this terrible behavior.

But Luo Qingwu was only getting more excited, smashing the table left and right, giving Wei Qingsheng bumps all over his head, cursing, “Hey, Wei, who do you think you are? I never liked you before, and you still dare to teach me a lesson—do you think you have what it takes to talk here?”

Wei Qingsheng was left with a splitting headache, trembling as he reached out, “Ancestor, save me, help me!”

“This…” Looking at Luo Qingwu beating the sect master, the elders were dumbstruck.

What was going on?

The sect master was a top-tier Immortal Emperor—why was he unable to fight back against Elder Luo?

Only the Eternal Ancestor seemed to pick up on the clues, his gaze filled with surprise, “Little Luo, have you ascended to Immortal Sovereign?!”

“Uh? How did you know I just ascended to Immortal Sovereign recently?”

Luo Qingwu smirked proudly, releasing an overwhelming aura that screamed Immortal Sovereign level.

“Hiss, Immortal Sovereign!”

The elders gasped, finally understanding why she had such capability.

Wei Qingsheng was left speechless.

Cultivators in the Immortal Realm all knew that the divide between Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors was a massive chasm; once someone became an Immortal Sovereign, regardless of their previous status, they could look down on Immortal Emperors, who would appear like ants in their eyes!

So, scolding Luo Qingwu earlier was effectively a death wish.

That’s why Wei Qingsheng now regretted it.

He even began to feel grateful to Luo Qingwu for not killing him outright, as any other Immortal Sovereign would have wiped him off the map!

“Haha, Little Luo ascending to Immortal Sovereign is a huge blessing for our Eternal Immortal Sect!” The Eternal Ancestor genuinely felt joy.

To him, Luo Qingwu was born to be an Immortal Sovereign; it was just a matter of time.

But clearly, it had come quickly—a rarity throughout the history of the Immortal Realm.

“Yes, yes,” the elders said, though inwardly, they worried about the sect’s future atmosphere.

“What do you think, Wei?” Luo Qingwu lifted the table, looking down at him, as if half a wrong word from him would see her continue the onslaught.

Wei Qingsheng, with a head full of bumps, tried to smile through the pain, “I admit, I was a bit loud just now. As an elder, you can let this little sect master off the hook, right…?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin inwardly screamed, “What a turn of events!”

But then he thought, this was just a change in status brought on by strength, nothing to get hung up on.

Luo Qingwu sneered, “Hmph, you’re smart!”

After saying that, she tossed the table away, returned to her seat, and grabbed a wine gourd, taking a swig.

Seeing this, the Eternal Ancestor didn’t reprimand Luo Qingwu, clearly showing how favored she was.

He quietly asked, “Little Luo, you say Lu Tianming deserved to die, but I want to hear your reasons.”

Luo Qingwu set the wine gourd down, wiped her mouth, “Ancestor, you may not know, but that Lu Tianming is the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign’s disciple! Killing him eliminates a great threat for the common people!”

“The Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign?”

Hearing that familiar name, the Eternal Ancestor’s eyes widened in shock, his expression hard to believe.

“Could it be that this disciple of the Void Truth View has ties to the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign?” Wei Qingsheng and the others exchanged doubtful glances.

“This is absolute fact!” Luo Qingwu asserted. “My disciple can bear witness—she was there for the whole ordeal.”

“Yaoyao, you tell them!”

“Yes…”

Tang Yaoyao blushed as she recounted how Lu Tianming had dismantled the Heart-Eating Twin Ghosts and the ridiculous things he did with Xu Chunlian.

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

“Ahem, yes indeed, that’s the most commonly used tactic of the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign! It can make any woman fall in love with him unconditionally, willing to do anything!”

The Eternal Ancestor cleared his throat to ease the awkward atmosphere, speaking with absolute seriousness.

“So envious…” muttered one elder.

As soon as those words were spoken, countless gazes, filled with significance, turned towards him, making him hurriedly backtrack, indignantly claiming, “Shameless! This is utterly unacceptable!”

“Since he inherited the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign’s Legacy, then Lu Tianming indeed deserved to die, and the Void Truth View shouldn’t have the right to pursue this matter.”

The Eternal Ancestor declared solemnly, “Issue an order to announce this to the public!”

“Understood, Ancestor!”

…

Gradually.

The news of this high-profile battle result started being transmitted by numerous cultivators who witnessed it through various means.

Soon, the word spread like a storm across the entire Azure Sky Region!

People were buzzing, rumors flared.

“What? The ancestor of the Void Truth View was killed in one punch by the legendary Ye Tian Emperor?!”

“What the hell! Ye Tian Emperor is so powerful? He can knock an Immortal Sovereign out with one punch?!”

“That’s impossible! I heard Ye Tian Emperor showed up at the Eternal Immortal Sect, and the Void Truth Sovereign scared himself to death out of sheer terror!”

“Heh, that’s even less believable. Clearly, Ye Tian Emperor just farted, and the Void Truth Sovereign exploded!”

…

As the event blew up, various versions of the story emerged, becoming increasingly ridiculous.

In short, cultivators in the Azure Sky Region all knew that the ancestor of the Void Truth View had sought trouble at the Eternal Immortal Sect and ended up being killed by Ye Tian Emperor!

Soon, more and more cultivators began to sympathize with the plight of the Void Truth View.

After all, from an observer’s perspective, it seemed as if the Void Truth View were the biggest victims.

Losing their disciple was bad enough, but now their ancestor was dead—how could such horror be described?

Consequently, the Eternal Immortal Sect publicly declared that Lu Tianming was a disciple of the Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign.

As soon as this news broke, it instantly turned public opinion in favor of the Eternal Immortal Sect.

Countless cultivators applauded, feeling that Luo Qingwu had done well, condemning the Void Truth View for being shameless and still daring to cause trouble.

Now that their ancestor was dead, they deserved it!

On the Void Truth View’s side, upon hearing this terrible news, it felt as if the sky had fallen!

“Ancestor…” The View Master and the elders knelt, weeping, facing the direction the Void Truth Immortal Sovereign had departed.

They hadn’t expected that their first meeting would turn out to be a final farewell!

“View Master, what do we do now?” An elder asked, grief-stricken.

“At this point, we can only surrender. After all, the Eternal Immortal Sect didn’t immediately send forces to retaliate—we can’t be ungrateful.” The View Master felt a deep sadness as he weighed his options and reluctantly made the choice.

This meant that the Void Truth View would fall from grace in the Azure Sky Region, with no chance of rising again.

On a certain Peach Blossom Mountain.

Hearing the report, Bo Chengli suddenly pushed away the woman in her arms, her face a mask of shock:

“What did you say? The Void Truth Sovereign is dead, and was killed by someone’s fart?!”
