Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 687

At the same time.

In the vast universe, a costly celestial ship was traversing through the starry sky, its interior engraved with multiple offensive formations capable of posing a considerable threat to Celestial Saints.

At the guest room door stood a young noble dressed in a brocade long robe, with a jade belt around his waist, gently knocking on the door, his face full of anticipation, “Peach Blossom Fairy, is it convenient for me to come in?”

This young noble had quite the background, hailing from the Black and White Realm, ranked ninety on the Divine Court’s list, born into a dominant sect of Saints. His father was the family master of the Cao clan, an Ancient Saint, and his family had a Saint King-level ancestor overseeing them, making their foundation incredibly deep.

Though Cao Zhi was a direct descendant of the Cao clan, he was the youngest and often overlooked. He had good connections and ample resources, and even this celestial ship was his private property, protected by two Celestial Saints.

Originally, he intended to take advantage of the chaos in the Holy Realm to make some quick gains, but the intimidation from the Celestial Court proved too strong. With his two guardians urging him to hurry and bail, Cao Zhi reluctantly had to retrace his steps.

However, while leaving the Holy Realm, he had an unexpected encounter with a stunning beauty, one that completely captivated him to the point of losing his mind!

Even Cao Zhi himself didn’t understand why he was so infatuated!

You should know, he was a proud member of the dominant Cao clan, and had been with all types of women before, so much so that he had long since entered a phase of indifference.

Who would have thought that in that rickety Holy Realm, he would meet a particularly special woman?

Though her figure and looks weren’t particularly stunning—merely resembling a charming fairy—every smile and frown from her sparked his interest and desires.

Cao Zhi knew her name was Peach Blossom Fairy, initially thinking it was just a casual fling, but after days of interaction, he unknowingly fell head over heels for her.

When the Peach Blossom Fairy proposed to leave the Holy Realm with him, Cao Zhi agreed without hesitation.

Thus, he embarked on the journey to the Black and White Realm with her!

During their time on the ship, Cao Zhi became a doting servant to the Peach Blossom Fairy’s requests.

He didn’t even realize that subconsciously, he had begun to treat her like a goddess, someone whose commands he had to obey without question!

Perhaps it was the desires lurking deep within him, but at that moment, Cao Zhi inexplicably found himself standing outside the Peach Blossom Fairy’s room, yearning for her affection, to embrace the beauty.

Noticing their young master’s behavior resembling that of a love-struck fool, the two Celestial Saints guarding him exchanged glances, perplexed.

“Strange, when did the Ninth Young Master become so careful with women? Besides, she’s just a low-level native!”

“Yeah, the girl isn’t even that stunning, she’s got a bit of allure, sure, but it’s not like she’s worth this level of obsession. I mean, guys like Ninth Young Master should be tired of this type considering all the options at the Pleasure House!”

“Could it be that Ninth Young Master is trying a new approach? Maybe it could be more fun that way?”

“Hey, now that you mention it, that could actually make sense!”

The two guardians whispered to each other.

They didn’t realize, being at the peak of Celestial Saint level, their influence was minimal, while Cao Zhi, only a Half-Saint at the tenth stage, was far more susceptible!

“Peach Blossom Fairy, Peach Blossom Fairy!” Cao Zhi stubbornly called out from outside the door.

Suddenly, a sweet, delicate female voice came from inside, sending shivers down his spine.

“Cao Zhi, so impatient? Come on in~”

Hearing this, Cao Zhi felt immense joy, suppressing his excitement with trembling hands as he gently pushed open the door.

What greeted him was a beautifully decorated guest room, the furniture complete, and sheer curtains swaying gently, outlining a curvaceous silhouette that sparked the imagination.

Cao Zhi closed the door tightly, swallowing hard, eager to step forward and lift the curtain.

There lay a woman in a pink gauze dress, languidly reclining on the bed, her skin fair and delicate, her waist slender like a water snake, exuding an enticing allure akin to the destructive beauty of Daji.

Especially her beautiful fox-like eyes, they seemed to capture souls, as if imbued with a certain kind of magic!

Cao Zhi stood frozen, drooling slightly.

“Cao Zhi, do you think I’m beautiful?” the woman asked playfully with a smile.

Cao Zhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, repeatedly saying, “Beautiful, incredibly beautiful!”

Seeing him so entranced, a glimmer of disdain flashed through her eyes.

She called herself the Peach Blossom Fairy, but the world was unaware that she was actually the infamous Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign, Bo Chengli!

Ever since being imprisoned by Hong Qianye in Longyang Pavilion, Bo Chengli had been suffering, ultimately discovering a way to save herself through the reversal of the Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, turning her fortunes around!

After changing her gender, the target audience of her techniques shifted from women to men; she could not only absorb their Yang energy but also manipulate their minds, making them fall hopelessly in love with her and willing to give everything for her!

Later, thanks to the essence of many male cultists, Bo Chengli quickly regained her Immortal Sovereign level of cultivation, breaking free from the shackles imposed by Hong Qianye, beginning to gather strength to overturn the Fire Cult and aiming directly at Hong Qianye.

At first, Bo Chengli thought it was foolproof; after all, under her influence, the male backbone of the cult headquarters was firmly on her side, and they could definitely take down the opponent together.

However, just when she thought victory was within grasp, that guy somehow awakened a unique physique, breaking through to the realm of Immortal Emperor, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Sensing trouble, Bo Chengli had no choice but to flee quickly.

After all, the gap in cultivation was too vast, and her techniques would lose effectiveness.

In the following period, Bo Chengli kept hiding and running, afraid to be discovered by the Fire Cult, which would bring about the Sect Leader’s revenge.

Of course, she was also developing in secret, and let’s just say, those who understood knew.

Until batches of external cultivators descended upon the Holy Realm, giving Bo Chengli a great opportunity for her cultivation to soar. Using the nature of her techniques, she mingled with many male experts, quickly breaking through to the Half-Saint realm.

From these men, she learned of a looming disaster in the Holy Realm, prompting Bo Chengli to realize she couldn’t go down with the ship; she needed to escape this world immediately.

By a twist of fate, she encountered a prime target like Cao Zhi, who was also at the Half-Saint level. The key was his significant background, ranking ninety in the greater world, with a powerful family and a Saint King-level ancestor.

Bo Chengli quickly seized the opportunity, using her techniques to bewitch him.

How could Cao Zhi, with his limited cultivation, possibly resist?

He fell head over heels!

Becoming the most devoted love-struck fool!

Poor Cao Zhi was played like a puppet without even realizing that the goddess he adored was actually a man before…
