Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 723

Hong Qianye never expected that Long Ao Tian not only didn’t take a hit and back down, but actually became more courageous after this incident…

Northern Domain.

After the Tengu Tribe migrated collectively to a fertile land, they settled down to recuperate.

A graceful young woman with bright eyes and white teeth sighed, “Bro, this place is better than what we used to have!”

“Ha ha, this is called surviving a great disaster, and there will definitely be blessings ahead!” A strong young man with disheveled hair and a wild aura grinned, showing off his white teeth.

His name was Gou Ziqing, and he was the one who brought Ye Junlin and others to the Tengu Tribe, changing the fate of the tribe from annihilation.

Years have passed, and he has grown into a young man with a cultivation level of Immortal Emperor, the strongest combat force in the Tengu Tribe, and the new tribe leader.

The young woman who just spoke was his sister, Gou Qianyi, who is regarded as the most dazzling gem of the Tengu Tribe, admired by countless talented young men.

Gou Ziqing pondered, “But I heard from the old clan leader that our Tengu Tribe originally came from the Kunlun Realm, so now we’re considered to be returning to our ancestral star.”

“Bro, look! There’s a strange old grandpa over there watching us,” Gou Qianyi said, her face showing surprise as she pointed.

“Hmm?”

Gou Ziqing’s gaze sharpened, and following her direction, he saw an old man dressed in a dark yellow robe, holding a whisk, looking at them with a complex expression.

“I can sense a familiar bloodline aura from this old grandpa. Could he be one of our Tengu Tribe’s ancestors!?”

As Gou Ziqing thought of a possibility, he breathed a bit quicker and cautiously said, “Excuse me, senior, could you be our Tengu Tribe’s ancestor?”

That old grandpa was none other than Senior Gou.

Upon learning that the Tengu Tribe had settled here, he couldn’t contain his longing and hurried over to visit.

Now recognized by the youngsters, Senior Gou pretended to be calm, stepping forward with his robes flowing, exuding an ethereal and carefree aura,

“It is indeed me!”

“Indeed…” Gou Ziqing’s heart trembled.

His sister Gou Qianyi covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes showing disbelief.

Ever since they were young, they had grown up listening to the legendary stories in the tribe and knew that the Tengu Tribe’s glory was established by an ancestor; how could they not be shocked when that ancestor appeared right in front of them?

Seeing the siblings’ reactions, Senior Gou felt elated inside and thought, “You little rascals, from now on, I’ll protect you, and everything will be safe. Hurry up and bring me inside to sit down!”

With Empress Fuyao reappearing in the world, he could once again rely on his connections, and the Tengu Tribe would shine again!

“Ancestor, please come in!” Gou Ziqing said excitedly.

Then.

Upon hearing about the ancestor’s return, the Tengu Tribe was in an uproar.

Central Region.

Yin-Yang Sacred Ground.

“Big Brother! I miss you so much!” Ji Baxiao said with tears in his eyes.

After many years, he had become the master of the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground.

However, under his leadership, the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground underwent a complete transformation; the serious Yin-Yang Divine Techniques directly morphed into various raunchy content with both men and women.

After countless instances of shameless bombardment, even the most steadfast cultivators would lose their composure on the spot.

This led the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground to dominate the Central Region, with no willing opponents for battle; everyone avoided them like the plague.

Ji Baxiao single-handedly brought down the lower limits of the Yin-Yang Sacred Ground, yet simultaneously raised its status.

Now.

Seeing his former big brother come to visit, Ji Baxiao was ecstatic.

“Second Brother, I’m here to see how you’ve been doing,” Li Wujie said with a smile.

“I’m doing just fine! No one dares to bully me!”

Ji Baxiao pulled Li Wujie inside, excitedly recounting the interesting things that happened over the years.

Laughter rang out occasionally, filling the air with joy.

…

Over the course of more than a year, the Holy Realm’s beings spread across the Kunlun Realm’s five major domains, taking root and surviving.

Thanks to the prior promotional efforts, the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm were generally more accepting, and with more resources born in the Kunlun Realm than before, the relationship between both sides remained at a relatively peaceful point.

It is believed that over time, the beings of the Holy Realm will fully integrate into the Kunlun Realm family, and no longer will there be talk of outsiders.

As for the Celestial Court, it was established high above in the Eastern Domain.

And the Holy Alliance became an independent department within the Celestial Court, directly under the command of the supreme leader Ye Junlin.

Celestial Emperor’s Hall.

Listening to the reports from everyone, Ye Junlin, seated on the imperial throne, was quite pleased.

“Congratulations, Celestial Emperor, the grand migration plan has been successfully completed!”

“Joyous news!” Liu Huangshu and others said with smiles.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission; reward Invincible Sword Heart has been upgraded to Eternal Sword Heart!】

The system notification chimed.

Instantly, an enigmatic aura emanated from Ye Junlin, carrying a kind of eternal and unending sword charm.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Could it be that the Celestial Emperor has… achieved a breakthrough?

“Eternal Sword Heart, in hand.”

Ye Junlin silently thought.

With the Eternal Sword Heart, he could take on at least ten previous versions of himself—now that’s a gap!

At the same time.

The changes in the Holy Realm also astonished the external forces.

They sent spies to try and sneak in to investigate, only to be shocked to find that this world had long been desolate, with no sign of living beings—like a dead star!

When this news reached the wider cosmos, it shook the stars.

The once-renowned Holy Realm had quietly perished without a sound?

What on earth happened?

As public opinion stirred heatedly, a significant announcement came from the Kunlun Realm.

“Due to special circumstances, the Holy Realm will cease to exist from now on; all beings have been completely transferred to the Kunlun Realm!”

Many outside cultivators were surprised, knowing that this was issued by the Celestial Court.

In other words, all Holy Realm cultivators have fully integrated into the Kunlun Realm; the current Holy Realm was merely a hollow shell!

“With that, the Kunlun Realm’s power is even stronger!”

“Absolutely! With the Celestial Court constantly stationed in the Kunlun Realm, it won’t be an ordinary force that can penetrate it.”

“Keep in mind, back then, Kunlun Realm was the second-largest world ranked by the Divine Court. With the Celestial Court leading the Holy Realm cultivators’ inclusion, this is a huge boost; it’s likely to reach the top again!”

“Once the Kunlun Realm flourishes, the universe may be reshuffled!”

Across the cosmos, discussions sparked, all feeling that the Kunlun Realm had a rapid momentum and signs of regaining its former glory.

Holy Martial Realm.

On the peak of an ancient grand Holy Mountain.

Panlong Wusheng stood with his hands behind his back, an endless terrifying blood aura filling him, his deep-set eyes gazing at the stars, showing hints of nostalgia as he murmured:

“Kunlun Realm…”

His thoughts stretched back to ancient times, remembering when he came to the Kunlun Realm in awe, seeking guidance from Emperor Tian, one of the Four Absolutes.

Back then, he knelt outside the hall, unable to rise, just for the chance to receive a word of advice from Emperor Tian.

Eventually, Emperor Tian was willing to guide him, and the teachings back then opened his eyes, leading him down a new path of physical refinement!

For Emperor Tian, or rather, for the Kunlun Realm, Panlong Wusheng held special feelings.

He didn’t see his past black history as a disgrace; on the contrary, he was grateful to his former self for daring to humbly seek advice.

What dignity, face, or vanity; all thrown aside, just to become stronger wholeheartedly.

“Xiang Jiba.”

“Disciple at your service!”

Xiang Jiba stood respectfully behind him.

Due to his connection with the master of the Celestial Court, he received care and resources from Panlong Wusheng; combined with his decent talent, he successfully broke through from True Saint to Celestial Saint.

“You go to the Kunlun Realm and assess the situation, and report back to me honestly on what you find.”

“If the Kunlun Realm is indeed thriving, we Holy Martial Realm can establish cooperative relations!”

Panlong Wusheng was looking further ahead, thinking it necessary to place early bets.

“Understood, Master!”

Xiang Jiba said joyfully, eager to see his friend and reminisce.

After making all the preparations, Xiang Jiba set off on the ancient star road toward the Kunlun Realm.

Little did he know.

Because of his relationship with Ye Junlin, he had already caught the eye of a supremely terrifying existence.

Xiang Jiba was unaware that he was about to become the most crucial piece on this chessboard, a sacrifice in this great conspiracy…
