Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

---

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained the Supreme Bone. Would you like to bind it now?】

【Supreme Bone】: A mysterious bone inscribed with runes that grants its owner top-tier talent and physique, destined to become an unmatched supreme being in the future!

Ye Junlin’s face lit up with joy as he silently recited, “Bind!”

In an instant, a blazing light erupted from his chest, releasing a terrifying aura.

The light intertwined, blazing like the sun.

Inside Ye Junlin’s chest, a translucent bone filled with countless mysterious patterns appeared, containing extremely profound energy.

Supreme Bone!

With this in hand, one’s combat power would skyrocket.

Ye Junlin was very satisfied.

After all, he had seen the strength of Shi Tianjue’s Undying Blood Body in their fight against the Blood Demon.

Just so you know, that was an incomplete treasure body, which shows how important physique enhancements can be!

And in this world, there are certainly other freaks with physiques even more terrifying than Shi Tianjue.

Ye Junlin believed that with the Supreme Bone, he would have a better chance of crushing them in the future!

“What the hell?!”

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from Ye Junlin, Hong Qianye couldn’t help but feel a chill.

What a powerful aura; what has this guy done now?

After witnessing his invincible stance just moments ago, Hong Qianye’s threat assessment of Ye Junlin skyrocketed.

The more she thought about it, the more she believed that Ye Junlin possessed an enormous opportunity; after all, how could such an extraordinarily gifted freak emerge from this desolate wilderness?

“Damn it, my strength still isn’t enough! I need to work even harder on my cultivation. Once I break through to the Unity Stage, I’ll be able to counterbalance him!”

Hong Qianye gritted her teeth.

Swish.

Ye Junlin’s figure slowly descended, his silver hair swirling wildly, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The Wei Emperor, seeing Ye Junlin, bowed as if a deity had descended, exclaiming, “Thank you, Celestial Being, for saving the citizens of Wei! We, the Wei Kingdom, shall record this in history for future generations to remember your kindness!”

He was completely awed by the scene of divine beings battling, feeling a profound reverence for Ye Junlin.

Ye Junlin waved his hand, “Don’t say useless things; being a good emperor is what really matters. Treat your people well.”

The Wei Emperor was shaken and said earnestly, “I will remember your teachings, Celestial Being.”

“Celestial Being, can I join the Xuantian Sect?” The little princess timidly asked, her voice sweet and clear, like a fledgling’s first chirp.

“Ling’er, that’s rude!” The Wei Emperor shot her an angry glare.

Does she really think entry into a celestial sect is that simple? One needs the right fate for that!

The little princess hurriedly lowered her head, panic filling her eyes.

Ye Junlin smiled and secretly activated his Insight Eye.

【Name】: Zhao Ling’er

【Gender】: Female

【Cultivation Level】: None

【Talent】: Premium Water Spirit Root

【Identity】: Princess of Wei

…

“Hmm? She has good celestial affinity.” When Ye Junlin saw Zhao Ling’er possessed a Premium Water Spirit Root, his eyes flashed with surprise.

“Does this mean my Ling’er has the qualifications to join the celestial sect?” The Wei Emperor asked tentatively.

“Yes, if she desires it, I can take her away with me,” Ye Junlin said seriously.

He thought for a moment, and it seemed fitting to pass her to the leader of Tianxiang Peak.

“Ling’er? Why aren’t you thanking the Celestial Being?” The Wei Emperor’s face was excited, nearly bursting into tears.

Two cultivators emerging from the Zhao royal family could very well be a gift from the heavens!

“Thank you, Celestial Being!”

Zhao Ling’er was overjoyed, her cheeks flushed.

“Mm.”

Ye Junlin nodded.

“Celestial Being, you saved the Wei Kingdom. Please let us show our gratitude by hosting a banquet for you.”

“Whatever.”

Then, Ye Junlin chose not to rush off, deciding to stay in the imperial palace for a while to enjoy the finest royal treatment.

On the misty mountain.

Hong Qianye exhaled a sigh of relief, her eyes gleaming with fiery light, her body surrounded by fiery patterns, making her look extremely extraordinary.

“Finally, my injuries are healed.”

“And my realm…”

The red-robed man stood up, his black hair cascading like a waterfall to his waist, his skin as white as crystal and glowing, a fiery red mark between his brows captivating.

After the earlier battle, along with some personal insights, Hong Qianye’s cultivation had broken through again and was now at the peak of the Transformation Stage.

At this speed, in ancient sacred lands of cultivation, it would definitely cause quite a commotion.

But alas.

After witnessing Ye Junlin’s unfathomable methods, Hong Qianye’s earlier lighthearted mood instantly vanished.

He still had a long way to go before overtaking that guy!

“Just endure a bit longer; once I break through to the Unity Stage, I will double the humiliation I suffered earlier!”

Hong Qianye secretly vowed.

In his mind, the scene of that silver-haired youth looking terrified and begging for mercy appeared, causing a smirk to involuntarily creep onto his face.

Hehe, just the thought of it is exciting!

“Xiaohong, come see your master!”

At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.

Hong Qianye snorted coldly, “Did I give you face?”

Then, he vanished from his spot and reappeared at the palace door.

He forced a smile, clasping his hands in salute, “Master!”

Inside the Great Hall, Ye Junlin lounged casually in a chair, one hand prop up his head while the other held a book written by Wei scholars, casually savoring it:

“This martial arts novel is quite interesting; it seems the common folks here enjoy face-slapping and pretentious plots. If I were to traverse into this country, I could probably make money writing novels. Hmm, let’s start with ‘Horse Breaks the Sky,’ that would definitely be a hit from north to south, and I’ll pen it under the name ‘Crazy Potato!'”

Upon hearing this.

Hong Qianye’s expression grew strange; what nonsense is this guy spouting now?

“Oh, you’re here.”

Ye Junlin straightened up, waved his hand, and a wooden basin appeared in front of him, steam rising from the hot water within. He dipped his feet into the basin and commanded Hong Qianye in a demanding tone:

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up!”

“You!”

Hong Qianye clenched his teeth, annoyance surging within.

He wanted to tear his face but couldn’t due to his lack of strength.

Even the Blood Demon was killed by this guy—just shows how ruthless he is.

After thinking it through.

Hong Qianye ultimately chose to compromise, slowly moving forward with reluctance.

“Kneel down and wash.”

Ye Junlin’s tone was not open to discussion.

Hong Qianye’s heart trembled; the combination of anger and helpless shame crawled all over him like insects.

“I am the sect leader of the Blood Demon, a true Immortal, and countless cultivators have died at my hands! Now, you want me to kneel and wash your feet?!”

Hong Qianye’s teeth were clenched tightly, his defiant pride rising inside him, but as he met Ye Junlin’s indifferent gaze, it shattered.

Boom!

Hong Qianye felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

In a daze, he realized he was facing a supreme being that could dominate all lives!

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up!”

Ye Junlin impatiently urged.

“I… I’ll wash,” Hong Qianye’s mental defenses crumbled, slowly kneeling down, his trembling hands reaching into the basin to wash the feet of the youth before him.

“Good disciple.” Ye Junlin nodded.

What’s that? You think you can tussle with me?

Even in front of a noble transcendent, even a dragon must behave!

“Wait, this water is…”

Hong Qianye sensed something was off, his breathing gradually becoming rapid, his mind swirling with turmoil.

Damn it!!!

This is Infinite Taoist Water! Mortals who drink it can retain their youthful appearance and live for 200 years; for cultivators, it can cleanse impurities within, making their bodies pristine and enabling rapid cultivation advancement!

Even a tiny bottle of this in the Central Region would be fiercely scrambled over, an item sought after by countless cultivators!

And now, it’s being used for foot soaking?!!

Hong Qianye became more convinced that Ye Junlin must have received a great fortune, acquiring a massive stash of heavenly materials and treasures; otherwise, how could he be so extravagant?

Looking at the large basin filled with Infinite Taoist Water, he felt lightheaded.

Hong Qianye’s throat involuntarily swallowed.

If he drank it all, it would greatly benefit him!

Wait a minute!

This is foot soaking water!

Realizing this, Hong Qianye jolted awake, feeling nauseous at his previous thoughts.

“Urgh~”
