Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

The beautiful young woman beside Ye Tianyun had a frosty expression, her shapely eyebrows arched in fury.

She was none other than Liu Xu’Er, the one who had been stabbed by Ye Tianling.

"This... What’s going on?"

Hearing Ye Tianyun’s cold reprimand, Long Qingzhuo was stunned, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

"Mother, my brother is just awful—he’s completely lost his mind! Do you know what he did? He actually..."

Righteously indignant, Ye Tianyun tattled to Long Qingzhuo, recounting all of Ye Tianling’s "evil deeds."

As Long Qingzhuo listened, she couldn’t help but find it a little amusing, and her expression grew quite colorful.

"Ling’Er, what’s gotten into you? Are you looking for a dao companion? But you can’t just use a sword!"

Long Qingzhuo blushed faintly, feeling a touch of shame. Her child’s Innate Deficiency had led to this situation, and as his mother, it truly left a bad taste in her mouth.

Hearing this, Ye Tianling felt like bursting into tears.

’Can’t use a sword... As if I could use something else.’

Ye Tianling glanced at Liu Xu’Er. Sure enough, she looked both resentful and ashamed, yet also completely helpless, overcome by a deep sense of powerlessness.

Clearly, she was just as helpless when faced with someone like Long Qingzhuo.

"Ye Tianling, do you have nothing to say for yourself? Who put you up to this?"

Ye Tianyun demanded coldly, truly furious.

She could deeply empathize, as this had happened to her good friend, Xu’Er. After all, she was no stranger to being pestered by shady Cultivators, and she found it endlessly annoying.

Even though Ye Tianling hadn’t been impressive in the past, he had never stooped to something so disgraceful.

For him to do something so outrageous now was simply infuriating to her.

"Ahem, I’m telling you... Yun’Er, this... it’s really just a misunderstanding," Ye Tianling replied awkwardly.

An expression of clear disbelief crossed Ye Tianyun’s face, as if to say, ’Are you treating me like a child?’

"Fine... I did it on purpose. I like Xu’Er, and I wanted to deepen her impression of me. Is that good enough for you?"

Ye Tianling was out of options. Clearly, they weren’t buying the whole "misunderstanding" story.

’What else could I say?’

"Uh—"

Ye Tianyun was stunned, at a loss for a reply.

Liu Xu’Er was also speechless. She glared fiercely at Ye Tianling and said, "Are you sure no one put you up to this? Don’t be afraid, Ye Tianling. Tell me who it was, and I’ll drop the matter!"

Ye Tianling said flatly, "Who put me up to it? Who could possibly do that? If someone could, it would have happened long before now. Believe it or not, I truly didn’t mean to. Who knew that Thundercloud Beast was the War Body you manifested from your Battle Soul?"

Liu Xu’Er’s pretty face turned frosty again. "So you did do it on purpose?"

Ye Tianling threw caution to the wind. "If you’re not going to let it go, then just stab me back! Come on, I’ll let you!"

Liu Xu’Er’s eyes widened in disbelief. Then, she became even more furious. "Shameless!"

Ye Tianling was baffled. "How am I being shameless? If you’re not happy, just stab me, and our grudge will be settled! Or you tell me, how do you want to resolve this!"

Liu Xu’Er’s breathing grew ragged, and her body trembled slightly. It was hard to tell if it was from being provoked or from sheer anger.

"Hmph, we’ll see about this!"

Liu Xu’Er snorted coldly, shot Ye Tianling a harsh glare, and turned to leave.

Ye Tianyun didn’t try to stop her.

Long Qingzhuo, however, looked at Ye Tianling with a peculiar expression, a hint of excitement in her eyes. Clearly, she had noticed something more.

’Ye Tianling... he wasn’t so simple-minded anymore.’

"Ling’Er, your condition... are you feeling much better?"

Long Qingzhuo didn’t mention Liu Xu’Er. For something like this, she would definitely apologize to Liu Xu’Er privately later, but not now.

Right now, what she needed to understand was Ye Tianling’s physical condition.

"Yes, Mother, much better," Ye Tianling replied immediately. "I slayed some Exotic Beasts today, and it seems my mind has become much clearer. I’m not so muddled anymore."

Ye Tianyun sighed. "No wonder you caused such a huge commotion today! If you like Xu’Er, you should just crush her other suitors with your absolute strength. Did you really need to use such a despicable trick? Don’t you know that legends about you are now spreading throughout the entire Blood-Colored Wilderness? Look at the mess you’ve made! The next time you go to the blood-red wasteland to slay Demon Beasts and Exotic Beasts outside the city, you’re definitely going to be targeted!"

Ye Tianling glanced at Ye Tianyun. His feelings for this younger sister weren’t deep, but he couldn’t just treat her like a stranger, either.

Ye Tianyun’s feelings for him were a mix of concern, a trace of disdain, and a sense of looking down on him, but also of pitying his misfortune and being frustrated by his lack of ambition.

It was a very complex mix of emotions.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent wasn’t as effective in this World as it was in his previous one, but he could still easily deduce all this from Ye Tianyun’s words, actions, and expressions.

’She’s in the prime of her youth. Instead of being able to take pride in her older brother, she probably gets pointed at and gossiped about because of me. She must feel ashamed.’

Ye Tianling’s gaze shifted, his mind now perfectly clear. Suddenly, he lost much of his interest in the matter.

Ye Tianling said seriously, "I don’t like her. It was just an accident. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

Ye Tianyun sneered. "You believe it? Of course you would. I’ll apologize to Xu’Er for what happened. In the future... just be more careful. Are the Soul Armor and Soul Sword I gave you before still enough? If not, I’ll give you two more items when we head to the Blood-Colored Wilderness. For now, just stay inside the Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City. Don’t go outside the walls to cultivate."

Ye Tianling shook his head. "They’re enough."

After speaking, Ye Tianling turned to Long Qingzhuo and said, "Mother, I’m going into Seclusion to cultivate for a while."

Long Qingzhuo said gently, "Alright, go on."

Without another word, Ye Tianling walked directly into the house.

Back in his own room, Ye Tianling closed the door and sat down quietly in a cross-legged position.

PSSH—

A wisp of Samadhi Celestial Fire gathered and emerged from between his eyebrows, enveloping his physical body.

CRACK—

His frail physical body was almost instantly incinerated and melted.

Ye Tianling found the searing pain hard to bear.

But at that moment, all the Dragon Soul Divine Blood within the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower flowed out. Soon, Ye Tianling’s physical body stopped melting. Instead, it continuously emitted dark, impure gases.

The Samadhi Celestial Fire Aura continuously gathered within his physical body, and Ye Tianling also began to comprehend the Time Law and the Celestial Dao Rule Domain.

As expected, such universal rules were fully applicable even in this harsh Ziwei Star Domain.

With the boost from the Celestial Dao Rule Domain, Ye Tianling’s Cultivation immediately felt natural and perfectly in sync, like a fish in water.

After the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower was fully unlocked, it transformed into a Treasure Tower that he could wield at will, like a powerful Unparalleled Divine Soldier.

And his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword was equally extraordinary.
