Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 618

North Cold Immortal Domain.

A long-unused Immortal Domain teleportation formation suddenly erupted with blazing light, accompanied by rumbling noises, as countless runes filled the sky, dazzling the eyes of onlookers.

Boom!

A massive, dull explosion sounded.

A blood-soaked middle-aged figure was blasted out, clutching the Immortal Lord’s official seal, which was already shattered, its essence leaking out in wisps, completely losing its power.

Recalling his recent experience in the formation, Bu Qianfan felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

If he hadn’t exerted all his strength to activate the Immortal Lord’s official seal as a talisman, he would have been dead on the spot.

However, the seal that had withstood the fatal blow was now nothing but scrap metal, offering no more protection.

A man with wild red hair followed closely behind, his eyes fiercely menacing as he growled, “Human race, you can’t escape!”

The Luantian Blood Emperor was furious; he hadn’t expected Bu Qianfan to be so troublesome.

It seemed he had underestimated the natives of the Immortal Realm!

“Cough, cough,” Bu Qianfan spat out blood, striving to steady himself as he continued to wield the Hantian Knife and fly off into the distance.

The Hantian Knife beneath his feet sensed its master was on the brink of death. With a spark of consciousness, it unleashed a torrent of blade energy, thrusting him forward madly.

“Old buddy, you’re really trying your best; we’ll definitely get through this,” Bu Qianfan’s eyes sparkled as he spoke firmly.

He was confident that upon arriving in the Middle Earth Immortal Domain, the various strong experts of the Immortal Court would surely deal with that Undying Blood Clan creature.

However, after flying for a while, Bu Qianfan began to feel something was off.

Why did the terrain look so different from when he came before?

He originally remembered this route leading directly to the Immortal Court!

But now, it was blocked by a gigantic mountain over a hundred thousand feet tall! Note that this was a major road!

To verify his suspicion, Bu Qianfan released his vast Divine Sense, spreading it in all directions.

He was shocked to discover that this place wasn’t the Middle Earth Immortal Domain at all, but the North Cold Immortal Domain!

“How is this possible? The heaven and earth environment of North Cold Immortal Domain is actually comparable to Middle Earth Immortal Domain?!”

Bu Qianfan’s face was filled with disbelief, his heart sinking like a stone.

When he first descended here, he hadn’t immediately noticed anything unusual; the reason was that the density of Immortal Essence in this space felt no different from what he’d experienced in Middle Earth Immortal Domain.

Given this premise, he hadn’t made an immediate judgment!

It was only after he went deeper and saw that the terrain was completely different from his impression that he realized he had mistakenly wandered into the wrong place in a panic.

He had inadvertently stumbled into the North Cold Immortal Domain!

“I’m finished; this time, I’m really finished. Who in the North Cold Immortal Domain can fight against that monster?”

In an instant, Bu Qianfan’s face turned ashen, his heart sinking to the bottom.

Having clashed with the Luantian Blood Emperor, he didn’t believe there was anyone in the North Cold Immortal Domain who could stand up to him.

Thinking of the new Immortal Lord, Ye Junlin, rumored to have recently taken office, Bu Qianfan couldn’t help but shake his head.

After all, this figure had only recently appeared, and although he had some impressive battle achievements, his strength was probably only at the borderline of a top-tier Immortal, likely not even as good as his old friend Tu Lie.

Dealing with a top-tier super level expert like the Luantian Blood Emperor was like an ant shaking a tree; it was a futile endeavor!

Even activating the Immortal Lord’s official seal to activate this area’s Great Formation wouldn’t do anything to him!

As thoughts raced, Bu Qianfan felt increasingly hopeless…

Meanwhile.

Far away at the Eternal Immortal Sect.

Ye Junlin and the others were happily enjoying hotpot, a variety of meat and vegetables bubbling and floating in the pot.

“The little mouse wants to eat that meatball!” Bai Xiaoxi called out, using long chopsticks to point to a shimmering fish ball, her cute face full of eagerness.

“Come on, Master will serve you,” Ye Junlin said with a smile, picking up the fish ball and placing it in Bai Xiaoxi’s bowl. Ever since he brought his second disciple back to the North Cold Immortal Domain, these past few months had been quite comfortable.

Every day they had plenty to eat, and their appetites had improved.

“I want to eat that piece of meat over there~” Luo Qingwu said, feigning a charming tone as she looked on, her beautiful autumn-like eyes sparkling with affection toward Ye Junlin, as if she was hinting at something.

I have to say, if Luo Qingwu set aside her usual “girl-next-door” demeanor and acted coy like this, she definitely had her own captivating charm!

After all, she was already extraordinarily beautiful and had a figure to match, completely comparable to the Qingqiu Empress, Su Yinghuo.

But her private behavior was way too cheeky; she was the type of girl who could easily bond with guys like brothers, and when she opened her mouth, she’d completely ruin her image, vastly diminishing appeal.

At this moment.

Luo Qingwu purposely struck a tempting pose, hinting feverishly at Ye Junlin to get her a piece of meat.

However, Ye Junlin merely glanced at her coldly before returning to his meal, completely ignoring her!

He had no intention of indulging someone who enjoyed self-dramatization!

Seeing that he was completely disregarding her, Luo Qingwu’s expression froze, her mouth twitching a few times, feeling deeply awkward.

What does this mean?

Ignoring me like that?

At least I gave you a chance, and you treat me like this?

Hmph, scumbag!

Tang Yaoyao couldn’t bear to watch and, out of consideration for her Master’s face, she kindly picked up that piece of meat and gently placed it in Ye Junlin’s bowl, saying, “Master, you eat.”

Luo Qingwu remained silent for a moment before breaking into a smile, “You understand me, my disciple.”

With a little help, Luo Qingwu was also quite perceptive.

But while eating, she couldn’t help but cast a yearning glance at Ye Junlin, chewing vigorously, as if she were gnawing on someone’s vital parts…

Ye Junlin couldn’t tolerate the look in her eyes any longer and changed the subject, “Yaoyao, I heard your romance novel is selling like hotcakes in the market!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Yaoyao puffed out her chest proudly, “Yes, it’s quite popular in the market!”

Previously, Tang Yaoyao had whimsically written a novel in secret, which Luo Qingwu later showed to Ye Junlin. Ye Junlin suggested publishing it to see how it fared.

Following his advice, the master and disciple started working on it.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yaoyao’s masterpiece “The Overbearing Heavenly Emperor Loves Me” took the North Cold Immortal Domain by storm upon release, gaining immense popularity among the cultivation community.

Not only did it rake in fortune, it also earned her an astronomical figure in royalties!

An overwhelming sense of happiness struck Tang Yaoyao, making her feel a bit dizzy.

With abundant Immortal Crystals backing her and a boost to her mindset, she progressed smoothly in her cultivation, reaching the level of a top Immortal Emperor recently.

It could be said that she had achieved success in both her career and cultivation!

“Hehe, what did I tell you? This book is bound to sweep the North Cold Immortal Domain! Now I have so much money I can’t spend it all, and I can buy any drink I want!”

Talking about this, Luo Qingwu gleefully remarked.

Since she had pocketed the expenses to help market Tang Yaoyao’s novel and promoted it, she also got half the royalties from its success, reaping huge rewards!

Watching this pleased woman, a black line appeared on Ye Junlin’s forehead.

Weren’t you just mocking it at the beginning?

What a classic case of hindsight!

Honestly, Ye Junlin had also underestimated the popularity of “The Overbearing Heavenly Emperor Loves Me” in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

On one hand, Tang Yaoyao’s writing was impressive, with many plotlines making countless lovesick girls blush and dream about the male protagonist. On the other hand, a big part was also due to his own influence in the North Cold Immortal Domain.

After all, this novel was practically riding on the coattails of Ye Tian Emperor’s popularity. Who could resist it in the North Cold Immortal Domain today?

Suddenly.

Ye Junlin sensed something unusual and pulled out a communication ring that was vibrating uncontrollably. He pondered for a moment:

“Oh? Is there news from Li? Didn’t I hear she was in seclusion with the Li family?”

Luo Qingwu slurped up a piece of dried tofu seriously, “Why don’t we call her to join us? I wouldn’t mind.”

Hearing this, Ye Junlin shot her a sideways glance, as if to say, what good is that going to do?

You really know how to make a scene, don’t you!

“Senior Ye, what did my granddaughter send you? How come you didn’t tell me right away?” Canglang Jun asked, feeling annoyed.

“Wait, let me check.”

Ye Junlin maintained a calm expression as he began to look at the messages on the communication ring.

The next second.

His eyebrows raised in surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment, “There’s actually this happening?”

Just a moment ago, Li Ruotong had sent him a message, claiming that an Undying Blood Clan creature had invaded the North Cold Immortal Domain and was being hunted by a peerless powerhouse, causing quite an uproar along the way. She even sent him the exact coordinates.

In response, Ye Junlin thought carefully; since he was currently the North Cold Immortal Lord, in such a situation, he had to check it out.

“Everyone, there’s something urgent; you continue eating, I need to step out for a bit.”

With that, Ye Junlin vanished from his seat.

Leaving everyone staring at each other in confusion.
