Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 738

Before long, Empress Fuyao officially ascended to the throne in the Celestial Court, sitting atop the seat of the master of the Celestial Court.

“We pay our respects to the Empress!”

The gathered cultivators of the Celestial Court all clasped their hands in salute.

The respectful voices echoed through the heavens and earth like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

“I am Empress Fuyao, now the master of the Celestial Court, governing the Celestial Court and overseeing the greater affairs.”

Her cold and melodious voice rang out with an air of authority.

So there she sat, high above, her sharp phoenix eyes calmly surveying the masses below.

It unconsciously instilled a pressure in everyone!

Tong Wudi and the others felt a shiver run down their spines, not daring to entertain even the slightest thought of rebellion in her presence.

Liu Huangshu, standing at the front of the line, suddenly felt dazed at this scene, as if he was transported back to that distant era, looking up at Empress Fuyao just as he did back then.

At that time, he was still the supreme grandmaster of formations, recognized as the number one formation master across all realms.

Years have rolled on, and as he reminisced, a flood of emotions surged through him.

When everyone heard her words, a strange gleam flashed in their eyes, enough for them to understand one another without words.

Especially the Yin Emperor, who secretly thought: “It’s just a fig leaf, anyway, with that Ye guy out of the picture, she can sit on this throne for as long as she likes.”

Claiming to be the acting master of the Celestial Court was no different from really being it!

“What matters do you have to report?”

Empress Fuyao said casually.

Upon her words, one after another, the officials stepped forward to report, addressing various recent matters that had accumulated.

Notably, although they were once collectively referred to as celestial officials, the increasing number of Half-Saints led to all officials now termed as Heavenly Officials, with distinctions among them.

Empress Fuyao, being the ancient ruler of the Kunlun Realm, handled matters with rich experience and clear thinking, managing problems in an orderly fashion.

Every issue put forth by the Heavenly Officials was effortlessly resolved by her, showcasing professionalism far exceeding that of some incompetent person!

During the proceedings, occasionally someone nodded, captivated by Empress Fuyao’s words.

Now that’s what I call professionalism!

A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Huangshu’s face, feeling relieved, as thoughts of that unreliable fellow flickered through his mind, suddenly giving rise to a bit of disdain.

When Ye Junlin was in charge, he handled nearly all affairs himself, leaving Liu Huangshu overwhelmed, but now with Empress Fuyao in power, the gap in capability was crystal clear!

With so many accumulated issues, Empress Fuyao spent half a day addressing them.

After the court session ended, people quietly discussed among themselves, feeling that this new master of the Celestial Court was far more professional than the last one…

Who says this Empress is a bad deal? She’s simply amazing!

In the days that followed, Ye Junlin continued to laze about, living a carefree and happy life.

As he often did not appear in the public eye, the name Ye Tian Emperor gradually became a thing of the past, with discussions predominantly revolving around Empress Fuyao.

Meanwhile, the secret behind the change of leadership in the Celestial Court was also learned by some external cultivators visiting the Kunlun Realm, for it was no longer a secret there.

Everyone knew that Ye Tian Emperor had been ambushed by experts from the Nine Nether, suffering a massive decline in cultivation, leaving him in a state of decline.

This was precisely why a change in the master of the Celestial Court was necessary!

Upon hearing this news, external cultivators hurriedly spread the word.

Boom!

Countless beings were shocked, unable to believe it was true.

After all, since Ye Tian Emperor had burst onto the scene, he had achieved remarkable feats, effectively invincible, hailed as a super genius worthy of being in the top ten of the supreme rankings.

It was because of him that the Celestial Court attracted attention and earned widespread fame.

And now?

It was said that the once-rising Ye Tian Emperor had fallen to the Immortal King Realm?

The critical part—this was confirmed to be the doing of a Nine Nether expert!

“Which Nine Nether expert pulled this off? Who could accomplish such a thing?”

“The Divine Court hasn’t received any news. Did a Saint Ancestor Realm expert intervene?”

“No way! If it was a Saint Ancestor Realm powerhouse, that Ye guy’s situation wouldn’t just be about cultivation loss!”

As for this matter, it stirred up an uproar in the starry skies.

Everyone was surprised that the Nine Nether could accomplish this without the Divine Court noticing.

Opinions were divided on the fate of Ye Junlin—some beings scoffed and mocked, while others felt sorrow or expressed sympathy.

Over in the Nine Nether, there was a sensation!

Many cultivators rejoiced, feeling a sense of schadenfreude.

“Serves him right! Offending our Nine Nether comes with a price!” a being from the Undying Blood Clan exclaimed with delight.

“It’s a pity that the Human Race guy didn’t die; if this kid isn’t dealt with, he will become a major threat!”

“What’s there to fear? His cultivation has dropped to the Immortal King Realm, and he even lost the position of master of the Celestial Court; he’s bound to be suffering worse than death right now!”

“Hahahahaha…”

Countless mocking voices echoed.

Many Nine Nether cultivators maliciously speculated that after this setback, Ye Junlin would surely be devastated.

The high-ranking members of the ten clans were bewildered, and the various clan leaders were completely puzzled.

What’s going on?

Do we Nine Nether do things like this?

Luo Wuliang, the leader of the Asura Clan, wore a puzzled expression.

As the highest decision-maker of the ten clans, such a matter was news to him!

But now, the Kunlun Realm claimed it was the work of the Nine Nether—is this true or false?

Luo Wuliang even suspected this was a deliberate leak of false information from the Celestial Court, meant to confuse the Nine Nether clans.

Thus, he dared not act recklessly, choosing to watch the situation unfold.

In the Black and White Realm.

In the Cao Family.

In a forbidden area, a frail and weak old man with white hair looked dispirited, lacking any of his former authority.

Looking at the alluring woman seated cross-legged, his murky eyes revealed a hint of ingratiation, “Peach Blossom Fairy, how have you been…”

The woman opened her fox-like eyes, glimmering brilliantly, emanating the terrifying aura of a Saint King!

This person was Bo Chengli!

After tirelessly extracting energy over that period, she first successfully solidified her King Grade Sacred Intent and then successfully broke through from an Ancient Saint to a Saint King!

Gazing at this old relic who had lost his utility, a trace of disgust flickered in Bo Chengli’s eyes.

“You tell me what major events have occurred lately.”

She ordered.

Cao Family Ancestor had completely capitulated, reporting everything in detail.

“What? Ye Tian Emperor was ambushed and fell to the Immortal King Realm?” Upon learning this, Bo Chengli looked astonished.

Immediately after, she burst into unrestrained laughter, a silver-bell-like sound filled with schadenfreude.

Before the stunned eyes of the Cao Family Ancestor, this provocatively dressed alluring woman laughed so hard that she seemed to blossom, as if she had heard the best news ever.

“Ye Tian Emperor, you finally have your day!”
