Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 529

Certainly, here’s the translation in the desired style:

Sure, she and Ye Junlin only had a casual special relationship, not a fixed partner duo, but when she saw a woman much stronger than her seemingly taking her place, Luo Qingwu felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

She knew Ye Junlin didn’t belong to her, but she didn’t expect the other person to have such a high status, able to converse on equal terms with someone at the Immortal Emperor level.

And what about her?

She didn’t even have the qualifications to get involved!

In a daze, Luo Qingwu felt like she was being left far behind, with a strong sense of crisis welling up inside her.

“So, I’m just an inconspicuous passerby, huh?”

Luo Qingwu tightened her grip on the wine gourd, her hand trembling slightly, a hint of disappointment flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Suddenly.

After they finished skewering some meat, Li Ruotong cast an expectant glance at the other person, her heart racing with tension.

Without personally obtaining the Immortal Emperor Artifact, she still had a tiny bit of disbelief in her heart.

Noticing what this woman was thinking, Ye Junlin smiled and snapped his fingers.

Swish~

Five miniature versions of the Emperor Artifacts, radiating intense light, appeared before Li Ruotong.

Though not fully revealed, the pressure hit her like a ton of bricks the moment they manifested.

Boom!

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, and the air seemed to solidify, sending chills down countless spines as people wondered what was going on.

“So this is the Immortal Emperor Artifact.”

Staring at the blades, swords, and spears before her, Li Ruotong’s heart jolted, and her breath quickened.

Five Immortal Emperor Artifacts were right in front of her!

Just one would unleash her full potential, making her stronger than before.

If she could get all five…

As that thought flashed through her mind, she quickly dismissed it.

The temptation of five Immortal Emperor Artifacts was huge, but she could still rein herself in, partly out of integrity and partly because she questioned Ye Junlin’s true level of cultivation.

What if he was hiding his realm?

She didn’t want to take that risk!

“Choose one; once you make your choice, you can’t go back,” Ye Junlin reminded her.

“I’ll take that one.”

After a moment of thought, Li Ruotong chose the tower-shaped artifact.

As she took the small tower in hand, she began to imprint her spirit into it, infusing it with her powerful Immortal Power to activate it.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The ancient pagoda trembled violently, surrounded by dazzling rainbow lights, exuding an extremely mysterious aura.

“So this is called the Seven-Treasure Tower; it has many marvelous uses,” Li Ruotong displayed a gleeful expression as she received the information from the pagoda.

This trip was definitely worth it!

[Ding, congratulations on completing the selection task; reward Magical Treasure: Blade of Soul Destruction!] The system notification rang in her mind.

“Got it.”

The corners of Ye Junlin’s mouth curled into a subtle smile; this task was also quite beneficial for him.

He now had another killing move!

As he tucked away the other four Immortal Emperor Artifacts, Ye Junlin chuckled, “Hehe, I really didn’t lie to you, did I?”

“Ye Dao friend really keeps his word!”

Li Ruotong felt completely convinced, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a different light.

She had never encountered a man like this before, handing over an Immortal Emperor Artifact without a second thought, completely unbothered.

Even with her vast experience and calm disposition, she was still moved by his unique charisma at this moment.

“If Ye Dao friend ever needs help in the future, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I will surely give it my all,” Li Ruotong said earnestly.

This was a promise from one of the Immortal Emperors!

“Is that so?”

Ye Junlin rubbed his chin, then casually said, “Then I need you to help me cultivate!”

Li Ruotong froze for a moment, then immediately conjured up some unsightly images, her beautiful face flushing red as she shot Ye Junlin an annoyed glare. “Ye Dao friend, what nonsense are you talking about?”

What do you mean by helping you cultivate?

How am I supposed to help you with that?!

“Ahem, just kidding,” Ye Junlin scratched his nose, thinking to himself he was really impulsive just now. His intention was simple; he just wanted her to give him a hand to break through to Immortal Emperor as well.

But now, it seemed he chose the wrong words at the wrong time; it led to misunderstandings…

“That’s not funny at all.”

Li Ruotong replied, annoyed.

Strangely enough, if anyone else joked like that with her, she would definitely be furious and would’ve acted immediately. Yet this young man, she couldn’t bring herself to feel a hint of disgust towards him.

What’s going on here?

Could it be that she felt gratitude for the help she received?

“Everyone, I’ll take my leave now.”

Quickly suppressing her unusual feelings, Li Ruotong decided it was time to head home.

Before leaving, she took out an ancient token and handed it to her grandfather, explaining that if he ever wanted to return to the Li family, this token would grant him unimpeded access; upon seeing it, any member of the Li family would treat him as if they were seeing her!

Having said that, she turned and left.

“Tongtong, I’ll come visit you soon,” Canglang Jun held the token Li Ruotong gave him, feeling mixed emotions.

He came to the Immortal Realm primarily to find his little granddaughter, and now not only was she doing well, she had become an Immortal Emperor, a top figure in the Immortal Realm. As her grandfather, he felt immensely proud and honored!

“Farewell, Celestial Moon Emperor!”

Eternal Ancestor promptly bowed deeply.

“We wish to send off the Celestial Moon Emperor!!!”

All the members of the sect clasped their hands as they bowed, their farewell cries echoing like a tidal wave in the sky.

After a long while.

Eternal Ancestor finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, thinking to himself that he had finally sent off this formidable figure.

He was genuinely afraid they would clash, so thankfully things were handled in a good direction.

“Zhao Dezi, instead of going to enjoy your retirement with your granddaughter, you come to my place to suffer. Is that really necessary?” Ye Junlin leaned back in his chair, glancing at the refined old man with interest.

“Hehe, this time spent following Senior Ye has made my life truly exciting. It’s you who opened my eyes; being able to work beside you is a blessing I’ve earned in eight lifetimes!”

Canglang Jun beamed with a flattering smile, completely unconcerned about what others thought of him because he knew just how sturdy this “big leg” he was holding onto was!

Great Mushroom King looked on with a quirky expression.

But at least the other party was willing to stay; otherwise, the burden of serving the Master would fall entirely on him.

“Not bad, promising,” Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly.

He seemed to sense something, his expression changing dramatically, he abruptly rose and shouted toward a specific direction,

“Who’s there? Show yourself!!”

Boom~

In a moment.

A terrifying aura surged nearby, an overwhelming oppressive force enveloping countless disciples and elders, freezing the very blood in their veins, their eyes revealing deep fear.

“Whose aura is this? Who sneaked in?!”

Feeling this powerful presence that felt like an Immortal Emperor, Eternal Ancestor felt his head spin, blood rushing to his brain, shocked.

After all, it was only a short time after Li Ruotong had just left, and now another potential Immortal Emperor powerhouse had slipped in; to say he wasn’t scared would be a lie. If Ye Junlin hadn’t noticed in time, that person would still be lurking around.

Just thinking about it made him shudder!

Meanwhile.

A bizarre figure in a black robe emerged from the void, stepping forward, with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes as he gazed at Ye Junlin.

“You actually know about my existence?”
