Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 504

When Bo Chengli heard the news of the Void Truth Immortal’s death, he was undoubtedly taken aback.

What’s even crazier is the way the Void Truth Immortal died—it was so bizarre that it almost felt unreal.

“Master Bo, this is the most popular rumor I’ve received from the outside world. They say the Void Truth Immortal was killed by a strong guy named Ye Tian Emperor’s fart. Though I think it’s ridiculous…” the purple-clad woman said, her face showing discomfort.

“You idiot! This kind of stuff is just obviously exaggerated!”

Bo Chengli snapped, though truth be told, he had almost been fooled by it himself. But he definitely couldn’t let that show.

The purple-clad woman quickly lowered her head in servitude, nodding obediently.

“Ye Tian Emperor, where did this strong one pop up from? Just hearing the name sounds really powerful…”

Bo Chengli clenched his teeth, a strong sense of wariness flashing in his eyes.

After all, even he wouldn’t dare confront the Void Truth Immortal directly, opting instead to avoid any direct clashes. But now, to think that an old-school Immortal Sovereign could be taken down by some mysterious powerhouse!

How terrifying must this Ye Tian Emperor be?

Bo Chengli couldn’t help but feel a chilling sense of dread!

He could easily deal with women, but when it came to men, his Yin-Yang Absorption Technique would be ineffective.

Without that significant support, his own abilities would be severely diminished.

“Sigh, if this Ye Tian Emperor were a woman, that would be great. Then I could…”

As the thought crossed his mind, Bo Chengli couldn’t help but sigh in longing.

If Ye Junlin heard this, he would undoubtedly get goosebumps and would want to punch this deranged guy into oblivion!

“I wonder how this so-called Ye Tian Emperor compares to that vile woman from the Creation Domain…”

Suddenly, something clicked in Bo Chengli’s mind, and a sharp gleam burst forth from his eyes.

He was referring to the Li family ancestor, Li Ruotong!

In the past, Li Ruotong had wiped out his avatar with just one finger, leaving him scared and coiled up in this small Peach Blossom Mountain, too afraid to even step foot into the Creation Domain. He had never forgotten that grudge.

Over the years, he had frantically advanced his Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, aiming to break through to control such a powerful female cultivator.

If he managed to get his hands on her, dominating the North Cold Immortal Domain would be just a matter of time!

After all, Li Ruotong was widely recognized as the strongest in the North Cold Immortal Domain and was the most likely to ascend to the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Being able to control someone so powerful for his own use would definitely be a lucrative deal!

“I’m just one step away from perfecting my Yin-Yang Absorption Technique. At that time, even if that vile woman really breaks through to Immortal Emperor, I’d still have a way to make her devoted to me!”

“Hehehe…”

As he thought about this, strange light flickered in Bo Chengli’s eyes, revealing a sinister smile as his heart began to race with anticipation.

Soon, news of everything Ye Tian Emperor did in the Azure Sky Domain spread throughout the North Cold Immortal Domain.

As the most prominent figure in the North Cold Immortal Domain at the moment, any news about him was bound to cause a huge stir.

Thus, countless cultivators from various great domains became aware of Ye Tian Emperor’s latest accomplishments.

“From my calculations, Ye Tian Emperor’s strength is enough to rank in the top five of the North Cold Immortal Domain, and he could even place in the top three!”

In the Desert Sand Domain, an esteemed old-school Immortal Sovereign confidently declared.

Upon hearing this, an instant uproar ensued.

You have to understand, any Immortal-level powerhouse that could rank in the top five of the North Cold Immortal Domain had already gained considerable fame and respect over time?

Now, an Immortal Sovereign was outright claiming that Ye Tian Emperor could rank in the top five, even the top three. While there could be some exaggeration involved, it certainly showed how much influence he had.

“In the North Cold Immortal Domain, the top rank goes to the Li family ancestor from the Creation Domain, the second to the Chi Xiao Immortal Sovereign from the Sky Domain, and the third to the Maitreya Immortal Sovereign from the Extreme Joy Great Domain. These three are ancient powerhouses, and they could probably squash the likes of the Void Truth Immortal with one hand!”

“Yeah, while I think Ye Tian Emperor is strong, it won’t be so simple to squeeze into that trio!”

“Y’all are nuts; I’m a hardcore fan of Ye Tian Emperor. To me, he’s number one! Come at me if you disagree!”

“Buddy, don’t be blackening Ye Tian Emperor’s name…”

“Right? You’re probably just a hater trying to ruin his reputation!”

The heated discussions became overwhelming, continuing to be a popular topic among many cultivators during their downtime.

Some strong cultivators even got so riled up that they argued until their faces turned red, leading to brawls just to defend their opinions.

Meanwhile…

The shifts in public opinion outside were lost on Ye Junlin and others far away at the Eternal Immortal Sect.

On that day, after concluding matters in the Great Hall…

Not long after, the Eternal Ancestor privately invited Ye Junlin to drink tea and discuss principles in the Bamboo Grove.

Ye Junlin didn’t know anything about principles. After all, his cultivation level was just obtained by chance; he originally wanted to make up an excuse to decline but couldn’t refuse such hospitality and reluctantly went to the Bamboo Grove.

After a few sips of tea and some polite exchanges, the Eternal Ancestor began to elaborate on his insights into the Dao, leaving Ye Junlin utterly confused, nearly dozing off.

When it was Ye Junlin’s turn, he simply waved his hand dismissively and said, “I have basically the same viewpoint as you,” silencing the once hopeful Eternal Ancestor…

The Eternal Ancestor couldn’t have felt more frustrated.

After saying so much, you just brush me off like that?

In the meantime, both were at a loss for words.

The air was thick with awkwardness.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in. Reward: Cangyuan Sword upgraded to an Inferior Immortal Emperor Artifact!】

The system notification sounded in his mind.

Ye Junlin rolled his eyes, sneering, “System, you really know how to pick your timing.”

【Ding! Rewards are never late! Please rest assured, host!】 the system replied shamelessly.

“Geez, it’s because of you that I’ve had to stay here for a few more days!” Ye Junlin replied irritably.

After claiming his task reward, he stood up to say goodbye to the Eternal Ancestor.

“Ye, are you really leaving?” the Eternal Ancestor said, surprised.

Ye Junlin replied seriously, “Since everything is settled, there’s no further need to stay. Farewell!”

“Wait!”

Seeing the young man about to leave, the Eternal Ancestor hurriedly called him back.

“Is there something else?” Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

“I have a small favor to ask. I hope Ye can grant it!” The Eternal Ancestor’s face turned solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Go ahead,”

Ye Junlin was curious about what this was all about.

Who would have thought that the Eternal Ancestor’s eyes changed continuously, and after struggling internally, he forced out two words through gritted teeth:

“Hit me!!”

Ye Junlin: “???”
