Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 566

Seeing that no one had any objections, Liu Huangshu nodded.

“Since that’s the case, I will officially send an envoy from the Immortal Court to hand over the official seal belonging to the North Cold Immortal Lord to that Leaf friend, and by the way, announce this news to the world.”

Having spoken, he personally arranged for it to be done.

It’s worth mentioning that Liu Huangshu did not associate the recently renowned Ye Tian Emperor with Ye Junlin, who had inherited Fallen Immortal Island in the Kunlun Realm.

The reason being, he didn’t believe the other party could make such a rapid breakthrough in cultivation.

After all, how much time had passed since then?

Not only had he ascended to the Immortal Realm and broken through to Immortal Emperor, but he had also become one of the top-tier experts among Immortal Emperors.

Looking at the timeline, was that really possible?

Thus, Liu Huangshu figured that this Ye Tian Emperor must be a local cultivator from the North Cold Immortal Domain, who had been diligently training and quietly developing over the long years, eventually emerging with impressive achievements!

The reason for his arrogance in calling himself an Emperor was actually a reflection of the style of someone who, after enduring much, swelled with pride upon gaining power.

To put it simply, he was like a nouveau riche or a local tyrant.

Initially, Liu Huangshu held biases, thinking such a person didn’t understand the vastness of the world, but after experiencing the upheaval in the Demon Cave, his impression of the Ye Tian Emperor changed drastically.

After all, he had single-handedly defeated numerous alien race Immortal Emperors, turning the tide and saving countless beings. This achievement was so great it silenced all voices of dissent.

Liu Huangshu could vaguely guess that if the North Cold Immortal Domain were successfully conquered, the other Immortal Domains’ Demon Caves would surely respond, leading to widespread chaos in the Immortal Realm.

Anyone with a modicum of sense could see the implications.

Thus, holding the position of North Cold Immortal Lord was indeed well-deserved!

When the Immortal Court announced this important statement, it immediately caused a stir in the Middle Earth Immortal Domain.

“What? The candidate for North Cold Immortal Lord has been confirmed? It’s actually that Ye Tian Emperor?!”

“No way, does the Immortal Court really think so highly of him? I would prefer that so-called Celestial Moon Emperor take the role!”

“Heh, you guys don’t get it, do you? Do you know that the recent Demon Cave upheaval was suppressed by Ye Tian Emperor? It’s said he single-handedly killed over a dozen alien race Immortal Emperors to protect the North Cold Immortal Domain!”

“Then that means he indeed has the ability and is worthy of the position of North Cold Immortal Lord!”

…

The Middle Earth Immortal Domain was buzzing with discussions centered around this topic.

You see, the status of an Immortal Lord is quite high; most Immortal Emperors would bow and salute respectfully upon meeting one.

Because that status symbolizes identity and strength!

As for the position of North Cold Immortal Lord, many cultivators had previously supported Li Ruotong for the role and looked down on Ye Junlin.

After all, the title of Ye Tian Emperor easily provoked dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Ye Junlin who secured the position. People initially expressed doubts, but after delving into the situation, their perspectives changed significantly.

Killing over a dozen alien race Immortal Emperors and suppressing a Demon Cave to save countless beings—what a glorious feat!

It was enough to be recorded in the annals of the Immortal Realm!

Calling him the guardian deity of the North Cold Immortal Domain was no exaggeration!

Thus, more and more people felt it made sense and came to recognize the Immortal Court’s actions.

In the Yuhua Dao Palace.

Yuhua Sheng received the notice sent by the Immortal Court, so angry his nose was crooked, smashing the table in front of him into powder with a slap.

“Damn it, still couldn’t stop him from becoming the North Cold Immortal Lord?!”

His voice echoed with deep reluctance and anger in the elegant loft.

Earlier, when Li Ruotong recommended Ye Junlin to the Immortal Court numerous times for the North Cold Immortal Lord position, he had secretly blocked it each time.

Because he didn’t want to see that man become the North Cold Immortal Lord; if that really happened, the other’s status would surpass his!

If he wanted to deal with him in secret later, the resistance he would face would surely be greater, a reality Yuhua Sheng did not want to see.

Unfortunately, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The highest decision-maker of the Immortal Court decided to have the other party take the North Cold Immortal Lord position.

“What are those alien races doing? Can’t even take down a North Cold Immortal Domain?!”

Yuhua Sheng’s face darkened to the point it seemed ready to drip water, filled with rage.

Ever since the incident with the Soul Heaven Immortal Emperor, he had become increasingly terrified of being discovered.

Thus, he was eager to eliminate any potential threats.

And Ye Junlin was like a thorn in his side!

But now, the threat he most wanted to eliminate had suddenly skyrocketed to a high position, causing him not only discomfort but also a measure of fear and unease.

Suddenly.

Yuhua Sheng’s eyelids twitched, pulling out a special communication ring from his pocket, which was completely different from those available on the market.

This communication ring resembled a star in the abyss, its entire surface covered in pitch black, emanating an indescribable aura of darkness.

On the ring’s base, a demonic eye silently gazed at the world, its pupils deep and mysterious, emitting a dim light like a strange ghost fire.

At that moment, the communication ring was violently vibrating, seemingly conveying extremely important news to Yuhua Sheng.

“Damn it, at such a critical moment, they dare to contact me from the outside!”

Yuhua Sheng’s face turned ashen, a surge of resistance welling up in his heart.

Indeed, this communication ring was secretly given to him by the extraterrestrial envoy for future contact.

Now.

The communication ring vibrated, clearly indicating that someone from that side had entered the Immortal Realm, trying to contact him.

Yuhua Sheng forced himself to suppress his displeasure and focused on the content of the communication ring.

【Hey, there are new instructions from above, and you, as our internal agent, need to cooperate with the action. We now have to meet and discuss in detail!】

Upon reading this message, Yuhua Sheng adjusted his breathing a few times, trying to suppress his resistance, and responded:

【Send me a coordinate. Don’t act recklessly until I find you!】

After a while, the other party replied,

【Are you teaching me how to do things?】

Upon seeing this.

Yuhua Sheng was stunned initially, veins popping on his forehead, his expression resembling that of a predator about to devour its prey.

Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?

Yuhua Sheng was extremely disgruntled, wanting to fire back a harsh remark to assert his authority.

However, the last shred of rationality in his mind restrained him from lashing out.

Yuhua Sheng knew he couldn’t behave that way.

Because this was someone sent by an external force to cooperate with him; in terms of identity, they were more distinguished than him, and he had to comply unconditionally, or he, as a pawn, would be discarded!

There was nothing he could do; he had boarded someone else’s ship.

If he didn’t obey, he’d be kicked off and drowned!

“Phew…”

Yuhua Sheng took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, desperately suppressing his inner fury, and patiently said:

【You misunderstood. I didn’t mean to teach you how to do things; I’m just considering safety. After all, you wouldn’t want to be discovered by the strong in the Immortal Realm, right?】

Soon, the other party sent the coordinates and replied,

【Heh, you make a good point, native. Now hurry up and get over here. My companions and I don’t want to waste time here!】

Their words were filled with arrogance, clearly not viewing Yuhua Sheng as an equal, taking a condescending tone.

Yuhua Sheng was so furious he nearly choked, smashing the communication ring hard on the ground, cursing loudly:

“Damn it, who the hell do you think you are to treat me this way?!”

After spewing profanities for a while, Yuhua Sheng reluctantly picked up the communication ring, seething with dissatisfaction as he tucked it back into his pocket.

As the saying goes, “Patience in small matters leads to greater schemes!”

Wait until I break through to that level one day; you all won’t dare to look down on me!

Amidst these thoughts.

Yuhua Sheng transformed into a wisp of blue smoke, silently making his way to the destination.

At the same time.

Not just in the Middle Earth Immortal Domain, this news also spread throughout the Immortal Realm, as countless cultivators learned about the candidate for North Cold Immortal Lord.

They felt both shocked and yet it seemed justified, as the achievements of Ye Tian Emperor spoke for themselves, allowing no room for doubts or slander.

In the North Cold Immortal Domain.

The whole place was in celebration, firecrackers erupted, and everywhere was awash in festive colors.

Bright red banners were hung, with words congratulating Ye Tian Emperor on his succession as North Cold Immortal Lord written on them.

These were all spontaneous actions by the locals; no one forced anyone, it was genuine heartfelt sentiment.

One can imagine how immense Ye Junlin’s influence was in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

In the Eternal Immortal Sect.

Today, coincidentally, Li Ruotong came for a visit, partly to see her grandfather, partly to get closer to that man.

On a mountain with a beautiful environment, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air.

The smoke from a barbecue stall wafted in the air, the rich aroma of meat drifting for miles, causing passing disciples to swallow hard and cast longing glances.

Canglang Jun skillfully flipped a large batch of skewers, his hands efficiently applying seasoning, occasionally glancing at a man and a woman not far away with a knowing smile that was quite lecherous.

Beside him, the Great Mushroom King, with a strange expression, asked: “Canglang, has your brain gone haywire?”

Canglang Jun twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, “Go away, old man. I’m in great mental shape!”

“Then why do you keep smiling like that?” The Great Mushroom King tilted his head in confusion.

“I was thinking, if my granddaughter and Senior Ye really ended up together, wouldn’t I be holding my grandson soon?”

“Then in terms of seniority, I’d be Senior Ye’s father-in-law, and privately, he’d have to call me dad!”

Canglang Jun chuckled and conveyed this secretly.

“Uh, this—”

The Great Mushroom King’s expression froze, shocked by the old man’s wild imaginations.

Hold on, do you really dare to think like that?

Their secret conversation was naturally not hidden from Ye Junlin and Li Ruotong.

At this moment.

Li Ruotong’s pretty face was blushing bright red, feeling both embarrassed and infuriated inside.

Grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting?!

Do you really think we can’t hear you?

Beside her, Ye Junlin’s mouth twitched, a stream of black lines appearing on his forehead.

You, Li Youde, act all respectful to me on the surface, but you actually want to be my dad behind my back?
