Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 702

There’s no doubt about it, the Holy Realm really knocked it out of the park this time. It made countless cultivators across the starry skies think twice before underestimating it.

But rumors are swirling that the Holy Realm managed to pull through thanks to some secret help from divine forces sent by the Divine Court, though that’s never been confirmed. Right now, it’s just wild speculation.

Regardless, the influence of the Holy Realm has skyrocketed. Many outsiders now see it not as a little developing world of sanctity but as a contender that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the bigger realms!

Some even suggested integrating the Holy Realm into the top hundred worlds of the Divine Court, but that idea didn’t get a nod from the higher-ups.

Now, while the Holy Realm hasn’t officially joined the top hundred yet, many cultivators already consider it to be part of that elite group.

In the Black and White Realm.

Cao Family.

“Peach Blossom Fairy, Peach Blossom Fairy, look what I’ve brought for you!”

Cao Zhi burst into the room, excitement radiating from him, holding a huge bouquet of carefully arranged pink flowers. Each petal sparkled like crystal, and the buds were so lush they looked ready to burst, giving off an enchanting fragrance.

These weren’t just any flowers; they were saturated with a strong holy vibe, and each one was a treasure! They’d cost a fortune on the market!

Cao Zhi splurged big bucks to buy all these flowers for the Peach Blossom Fairy, the one he cherished dearly.

But taking a closer look, he didn’t quite look like himself. His complexion was much worse, and he seemed rather skinny, like he’d just been through the wringer.

At that moment, he waltzed in with the giant bouquet, only to freeze in shock as the scene unfolded before him—his bouquet fell to the floor.

What he saw was scandalously eye-watering!

Several of his brothers were lined up, their greedy and obsessed gazes fixed on the alluring woman on the bed, who could easily pass for a vixen.

On the bed were a man and a woman.

Cao Zhi’s entrance caught Bao Chengli’s attention, rolling her eyes in annoyance, she said, “You fool, you have no manners at all. You’ve ruined the mood between me and your brother.”

Cao Zhi stood frozen, a wave of humiliation crashing over him, his whole body trembling as he pointed at the woman on the bed, nearly exploding, “You—you shameless hussy! How could you flirt with my brothers! Getting all cozy like this!”

Cao Zhi couldn’t believe it—this woman he brought home turned out to be outrageous, not only flirting with his brothers but bringing them all into a bedroom together…

What a waste of his heartfelt intentions, thrown right to the dogs!

Bao Chengli only chuckled, “Look at your dear little brother complaining about me~”

The next second, all of Cao Zhi’s brothers turned their fierce gazes toward him.

This sight sent chills down Cao Zhi’s spine.

“Eighth Brother, you shouldn’t be so rude to the Peach Blossom Fairy! Kneel down and apologize!” said the imposing figure on the bed, Cao Wu, the eldest brother.

Cao Wu had one arm wrapped around the woman beside him, his cold glare directed at Cao Zhi’s behavior.

Boom!

Cao Zhi felt an immense wave of holy pressure wash over him, forcing his knees to buckle as his bones cracked under the strain.

“Brother, you…”

Cao Zhi couldn’t believe his eyes. He was the youngest and had always been the favored one, cherished and looked after by his eldest brother.

Now, the very brother he respected most was cozying up to his woman, turning the tables to force him to kneel and apologize.

It felt like the sky was falling!

“Oh, big brother, you’re so nice to me~” Bao Chengli nestled into Cao Wu’s embrace, adding fuel to the fire with a sly grin.

Among them, Cao Wu had the highest cultivation level, a Celestial Saint, and was least influenced by her charm, needing a gentle touch. As for the others, they were all under her thumb.

Ever since Bao Chengli was brought to the Cao family in the Black and White Realm, she helped Cao Zhi break through to Half-Saint level ten, then went on to flirt with his other brothers—first the seventh, then the sixth, fifth, fourth, and so on, all the way up to breaking through to True Saint level.

But Bao Chengli wasn’t about to stop there; she kept climbing higher using her martial arts techniques to subtly influence Cao Wu, stepping up her game all the way to now.

According to her preliminary plan, once she’d fully snared Cao Wu, her sights would shift to the family master and finally to that Saint King level ancestor!

She aimed to use the Cao family as a springboard to leap into a higher echelon!

To speed things up, she specifically gathered all of Cao Zhi’s brothers in the room today, hoping to make a quick leap to Celestial Saint level.

Little did she know, this scene would be stumbled upon by Cao Zhi.

But now that the cat was out of the bag, there was no point hiding it any longer; after all, Cao Zhi had completely lost his usefulness and was now a mere trivial figure!

“You shameless woman…” Cao Zhi’s eyes burned with rage, veins bulging on his neck.

Smack!

Out of nowhere, a heavy slap sent him flying into the wall, half his face swelling up, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, and his head spinning.

“Ugh…”

Cao Zhi clutched his face, groaning in pain.

The slap came from his eldest brother, Cao Wu!

Cao Wu shot back coldly, “You thick-headed fool! Did you think my words were just for show? Apologize to the Peach Blossom Fairy!”

“Exactly, apologize quickly!” his other brothers growled fiercely, looking ready to rip Cao Zhi apart.

“Respected Fairy, I realize my mistakes…” Under pressure from his brothers, Cao Zhi had no choice but to submit.

“Don’t mind him, let’s continue!” Bao Chengli giggled.

“Okay!”

Cao Wu looked at the enchanting woman in his arms, eager flames brewing within him.

His other brothers watched eagerly, practically counting down.

Seeing this unfold,

Cao Zhi stood there like a statue.

He never imagined such a ridiculous thing would turn out to happen to him one day.

If only he’d known, he wouldn’t have brought that shameless woman here!

“Brother, hurry it up, we’re all waiting!”

“Back off, how could I make this quick? We’re going by family rank here!”

With those words,

Cao Zhi’s previously dim eyes lit up.

Could it be that he’d get a share too?

With all the humiliation he’d endured earlier, Cao Zhi felt an overwhelming urge to ravage that Peach Blossom Fairy.

However, a voice dripping with disdain shattered that thought, leaving him feeling hopeless and at rock bottom.

“You’re all set, but the last one can take a hike and just kneel there watching!” Bao Chengli sneered.

What she needed now were Saints, not a Half-Saint like Cao Zhi, especially since she had already drained him dry—he had no more value to exploit.

For someone so useless, a swift kick was all he deserved!

“Since the Peach Blossom Fairy said so, Eight Brother, you just kneel there and watch. And don’t disturb us, or you’ll regret it!” Cao Wu commanded, his tone leaving no room for dissent.

“Understood…”

Listening to the sounds of joy around him, Cao Zhi silently picked up the flowers from the ground, a single tear rolling down his cheek.

He cried!
