Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity

Chapter 786




The Kunlun Realm was still buzzing with joy and celebration after a recent major victory.

The Celestial Court even held a grand feast to celebrate this great battle’s success, complete with delicious food and fine wine.

Everyone raised their glasses, laughter and smiles all around.

Joyous sounds filled the air, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

“After ten thousand years, I finally get to taste Xiaoxi’s cooking again, just like I remember!” Ye Junlin said, savoring the exquisite dishes in front of him, clearly satisfied.

“From now on, I’ll make food for Master every day! I’ll make up for all the past!” a silver-haired girl with animal ears, dressed in a cook’s apron, stated earnestly.

Bai Xiaoxi looked just the same, still adorable and petite.

“Haha, great!”

Ye Junlin affectionately ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with warmth.

“Hehe~” Bai Xiaoxi enjoyed the head patting immensely, her eyes curving like crescent moons, so endearing that you just wanted to scoop her up and shower her with affection.

Meanwhile, Elder Changsheng looked at the young man in green clothes before him with astonishment, his tone incredulous, “This young friend’s skills truly open my eyes!”

He had been seriously injured, barely touching the roots of his power, and it would take at least fifty years for a full recovery.

However, this graceful young man in green had healed him in no time, just the length of incense burning, leaving Elder Changsheng utterly astounded and with a fresh perspective!

“No big deal, just a small effort,” the young man in green said shyly, his smile as bright as the boy-next-door.

He was Ye Junlin’s fourth disciple, the Great Mushroom King!

Perhaps due to the breakthroughs in the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique, his appearance had changed as well; he was no longer the dark-skinned boy with a mushroom haircut.

Now, he had long, lustrous black hair, smooth fair skin, and a face like a jade crown, exuding a natural, humble, and gentle charisma.

In the beginning, even Ye Junlin didn’t recognize him until the Great Mushroom King displayed the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique, then he barely accepted the change in his fourth disciple.

“The Azure Emperor is a disciple of Ye, best at healing others, and he is recognized as the healing saint in our Celestial Court; it was he who healed my injuries,” Empress Fuyao said with a smile.

Everyone in the Kunlun Realm knew that the Lord of the Celestial Court had four disciples, each extraordinary and exceptional.

The eldest disciple, the Red Emperor, was the ruler of the fire domain, feared for his ability to scorch the heavens!

The second disciple, the White Emperor, had unbeatable culinary skills; anyone who tasted his food would become a captive of his cooking!

The third disciple, the Sword Emperor, was the master of swordsmanship, unmatched in combat!

The fourth disciple, the Azure Emperor, possessed unparalleled healing skills—no matter how severe the injury, if there was still a breath left, he could bring them back!

“Now I’ve really seen it all,” Elder Changsheng remarked.

The Great Mushroom King scratched his head, feeling shy, “Ah, without Master, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”

He always remembered when he was just a piece of immortal medicine in Medicine King Valley, wandering aimlessly, unaware of the true essence of life, until Ye Junlin appeared and completely transformed his fate.

Just then, with the banquet buzzing and the atmosphere lively…

A sharp, high-pitched voice like a eunuch’s echoed through the Kunlun Realm, instantly heard by all living beings.

“The Lord of the Divine Court has decreed, recognizing Ye Junlin’s immortal achievements, effective immediately, he is to be appointed as the Young Master of the Divine Court!”

From the outer starry sky, a brilliant light descended, revealing a group of ethereal white figures.

The elder at the front wore a white robe with a red dot on his forehead, his eyebrows and beard white, holding the divine edict and speaking seriously.

Boom!

The heavens shook, and countless beings were left in shock.

The title of Young Master of the Divine Court actually fell to that Ye Tian Emperor?

But upon closer thought, it seemed reasonable.

After all, it was said that the Nine Nether suffered great losses this time, prompting the Lord of the Divine Court to value and favor Ye Tian Emperor.

“How dramatic! At first, we all thought that Ye Junlin would come to a horrible end for using the title of the Celestial Emperor, but here he is not only alive but also has caught the attention of the Lord of the Divine Court!” a creature at the Saint King Level said with a bitter smile.

“Exactly! Who would dare question him now? He will be the ruler of the Divine Court, and the title of Celestial Emperor is legit!”

“And the Kunlun Realm will become the top super realm of the Divine Court, its status unshakeable!”

“Damn, I’m really jealous!”

Instantly, a chorus of discussions filled the starry sky.

Previously, the leaders of the Ten Great Worlds of the Divine Court were so furious they were about to spit blood; they could hardly accept this reality.

“Then what does the death of our Daozi amount to?” the Dao Lord of the Primordial Realm’s face turned ashen, regret washing over him like a tide.

Even now, he was still haunted by the death of Dao Wuhen.

Poor Dao Wuhen, a once-brilliant talent with a rare Saint Body, who would have achieved even greater heights than him had he entered the Saint Ancestor Realm, yet he was cut down mid-road by an even more monstrous prodigy!

The other lords were filled with mixed emotions, regretting they couldn’t prevent this from happening.

Of course, those were mere thoughts; they couldn’t act on them, because these were the divine edicts issued by the Lord of the Divine Court!

One wrong move, and they’d be at odds with the Lord of the Divine Court, and no one could bear that consequence.

Moreover, the messenger responsible for delivering the divine edict was someone they recognized – the Old Celestial Servant, the most trusted aide of the Lord of the Divine Court, equally standing among the powerful!

The Kunlun Realm exploded in chaos.

The Celestial Court was greatly shaken, and the cultivators looked at each other in disbelief.

Their Lord of the Celestial Court was actually going to become the Young Master of the Divine Court?

Over the years, thanks to the transparent flow of information from the outside world, they knew just how formidable the Divine Court’s influence was, covering all the realms.

If he became the Young Master of the Divine Court, he would practically be the master of the Divine Court moving forward, with the qualifications to command all realms, a true ruler of the world.

“This…”

Liu Huangshu and the others were stunned, unsure of what to do.

They had always held some grievances against the Lord of the Divine Court, but unexpectedly, this attitude had flipped dramatically, repeatedly helping the Kunlun Realm, and now even bestowing the title of Young Master.

So, should they accept or not?

If they accepted, the benefits would undoubtedly be plentiful; if not, wouldn’t that offend a Creation Saint?

Empress Fuyao and Elder Changsheng frowned, finding it hard to make a decision.

In the crowd, the Yin Emperor’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he muttered, “If it were me, I would accept this divine edict. Just take the title of Young Master first; it’s all upside, plus it sounds impressive!”

As soon as this was said, everyone else had strange looks on their faces but couldn’t refute him.

Because no matter how one looked at it, becoming the Young Master of the Divine Court had no downsides; on the contrary, holding this title in the Divine Court would absolutely mean immense power, second only to the Lord of the Divine Court!

From now on, with one word, who would dare to defy him?

“Cough, cough,”

In the starry sky, the Old Celestial Servant’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, his voice tightening, “Ye Junlin, why aren’t you hurrying over to accept the decree?”

In his view, usually, when people heard such good news, they would be itching to rush over and accept it—why was there no movement at all? Did he expect him to go personally to invite him?

Swish, swish, swish~

In the Celestial Court, countless gazes converged on the silver-haired young man, all eager to see how he would choose.

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, stroking his chin, silently thinking, “I was just worried about not knowing the way; now it’s all come knocking at my door!”

It was said that the Divine Court was established in a Chaotic Space, where the Lord of the Divine Court resided, and Ye Junlin had been hoping to visit and have a good chat with him.

Now, the arrival of the Old Celestial Servant had given him a superb opportunity!
