Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Who was she?

She was the Little Dragon Girl, Ji Yueqi.

Ye Tianling had entertained many, many thoughts, but in the end, he had never once considered doubting the Little Dragon Girl.

Because the Little Dragon Girl was *his* Little Dragon Girl, and she had sacrificed so much for him.

Now, seeing the woman with the white wings, Ye Tianling realized that the Little Dragon Girl’s origins were far grander than he had ever imagined.

The Little Dragon Girl belonged to a Domain Realm. Perhaps she had only come to this World to amuse herself, to experience the mortal plane and a few cycles of Reincarnation.

Ultimately, she would still return home.

It was just like the white-winged woman’s punishment of Feng Chaoge.

The meaning behind the white-winged woman’s words was clear—he, Ye Tianling, was a mere ant, a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.

Beyond that, what was even more terrifying was this: the Demon Heart Sword Body was unimaginably strong, and yet it was merely a Clone, a Dao Body of Ji Yueqi’s father, Ji Tianxie.

In the past, Ji Tianxie had been able to scatter the Demon Heart Sword Body across various Great Worlds. That alone was enough to imagine just how powerful he truly was.

In the past, the rules of the Forgotten Dust World had been able to nearly Control all other Laws, even to the point of erasing an existence. What kind of power would be required to achieve that?

From this perspective, what was this so-called Divine Hall of Life? What did it represent? It probably represented one side of that cosmic game—a truly supreme existence.

And what about Ye Yuemei? What about Ji Yuemei, the one known as the ’Life Goddess’?

Ye Tianling sighed softly. He didn’t like schemes and conspiracies, yet he was always getting swept up in them.

He was not a fool. By piecing together the various bits of information, he could even use Inference to deduce a part of the truth.

’Are two sides playing a game, exploring the creation and alteration of Laws, and then creating a Soul Burial Starry Sky Divine Domain for it? Are all the lives within just pawns? Are they using the changes in the Life Charts of the "seeded" contestants to perform Inference on a series of possibilities for the Celestial Dao’s evolution?’

It was all truly laughable.

But how could it not also be infuriating?

"All you beings who treat me, Ye Tianling, as a pawn and an ant—you will pay a heavy price!"

Ye Tianling exhaled a long breath, his resolve hardening.

His trump card had been destroyed. The Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had shattered into countless pale-gold fragments.

However, his injuries had been healed by Feng Chaoge, leaving him with no lasting damage.

Ye Tianling activated his Dragon Soul Divine Blood and summoned back all the fragments of the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.

The pale-gold fragments, like so many pale-gold leaves, gradually reassembled. As they did, Ye Tianling discovered that the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword seemed to have undergone some kind of brand-new transformation.

Without much thought, Ye Tianling gathered his Samadhi Celestial Fire and began to re-forge the sword, managing to piece the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword back together.

At this moment, Kong Lindao had also begun to recover from his dazed state.

He stared blankly into the surrounding void, his eyes completely hollow.

"Daoxi, Daoze... they were killed. Tianxi is dead too."

Kong Lindao murmured.

His words sent a sharp pang of pain through Ye Tianling’s heart.

PTUI—

Kong Lindao vomited blood.

As the blood flowed out, it burst into Nirvana Flame.

But the Flame was not intense, nor was the aura of life within it rich.

Kong Lindao’s aura was very faint.

He had lost his Origin. He had been killed in a single blow. Although he entered a state of Nirvana and received some Healing from Feng Chaoge, he had still been directly shattered by Ji Kun’s ultimate strike.

It was a miracle he had survived such Destruction.

In contrast, Ye Tianling had not suffered a fatal blow, which was why the same treatment had allowed him to recover completely.

"Brother Lindao, Tianxi is still here. She left behind her Origin Essence Blood. In the future, I will revive her."

Ye Tianling walked over, took the five drops of Lifebound Essence Blood that Kong Lindao had once given him from the Blood-Colored Crystal Coffin, and pressed them directly into Kong Lindao’s brow.

Kong Lindao made no move to stop him.

When the five drops of his own Essence Blood returned to his body, his Life Origin immediately began to swell.

The dazed look in Kong Lindao’s eyes gradually gave way to clarity.

"Brother Tianling, words are not enough to express my gratitude. I must return to the Immortal Phoenix Ancestral Land and prepare to enter the Ancestral Land’s Land of Silent Extinction Annihilation. I forfeit the opportunities here."

Kong Lindao’s tone was exceptionally serious.

Ye Tianling’s expression was complicated. "The Land of Silent Extinction Annihilation... I’ve heard... it’s a place of death. You either die, or you achieve a complete Nirvana Rebirth. Brother Lindao, why must you do this? The path must be walked one step at a time."

Kong Lindao shook his head. "There’s no Time left. I can’t shake the feeling that with every change in the New World, our Realms are regressing time and again. It’s clearly a way to constantly increase the difficulty of our Cultivation.

Once we adapt, the difficulty will just increase again. If this goes on, we’ll never escape this vicious cycle.

Celestial Harmony Dao?

All of us are thinking about achieving Celestial Harmony Dao, about synchronizing our Battle Power with the New World, but we fail to realize that this is all just a cage, a prison. We’re being fed and raised little by little, just to become pigs for the slaughter...

So, I want to walk a different path. Why can this world lower our Realms again and again? A Realm represents the world’s acknowledgment of a Law and the manifestation of that Law, yet it can be changed at will. If that’s the case, what’s the point of Cultivation?

The ’Lindao’ I want to achieve means that no matter how many endless Worlds or Domains I traverse, my Realm will remain my Realm.

I want it so that no Law in this world can Imprison my Law.

I want it so that no Forbidden Land in this world can Imprison or even interfere with my power!

So, I’ve figured it out. If the fates of Daoxi, Daoze, and Tianxi weren’t enough to awaken me, then weren’t the white-winged Patroller’s actions against that Ji Xing clear enough?

Only when you’re strong enough do you earn the right to speak of being a Guardian! We... we are just pawns in the eyes of these beings, as laughable as clowns, as humble as ants!"

Kong Lindao’s voice was not loud.

But his words were clear enough for everyone to hear.

The scene had been silent.

After he spoke, it grew even quieter.

Even Ye Tianling was at a loss for words.

As far as Ye Tianling knew, Kong Lindao was the only peerless genius who could still face him in a head-on battle.

It would not be an exaggeration to call him a ’Young Venerable’.

For such an existence to be treated like a living ant, the impact was undeniably immense.

To say nothing of the fact that the relatives he cared for so much had been cut down one after another, right before his eyes.

Ye Tianling could deeply understand this kind of shock, a blow that could nearly destroy a person’s Dao Heart.

Kong Lindao did not sink into despair. Instead, he completely solidified his Strong Heart, preparing to establish his own Dao and truly achieve ’Lindao’.

’I saw it before. His Life Chart was exceptionally brilliant. This must be the karmic event that caused it.’

Ye Tianling murmured to himself.

He said nothing, only patting Kong Lindao on the shoulder. Everything was understood without words.

"Brother Tianling, work hard. In the future, capture that white-winged woman and make her your Maid! The Primordial Runes... I can hear them. I know what their attitude toward us is. I think anyone can be arrogant; it’s easy to do. We can be too!"

Kong Lindao buried his sorrow, sealed away the pain in his heart, and acted as if nothing was wrong.

Ye Tianling knew that a true Slaughterer had been born.

"A Maid? I’m not sure I’d even want her."

Ye Tianling smiled. His tone might have sounded like a joke, but it wasn’t.
