Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling used his Celestial Dao Rule Domain to empower himself, refining his physical body with the Samadhi Celestial Fire.

Soon, he began cultivating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique with his full reserve of Dragon Soul Divine Blood.

In his previous world, he had cultivated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique to Sixth Layer Perfection. At that time, however, the power of his Dragon Soul Divine Blood and the level to which the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower was unlocked only reached the Thirty-Sixth Layer, not the Ninety-Ninth.

Now, the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower was fully unlocked, and all his Dragon Soul Divine Blood had returned. As such, the cultivation of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique had to be started anew to suit his current body.

However, this was not difficult. Empowered by his Celestial Dao Rule Domain, Ye Tianling cultivated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique to the Second Layer in less than an hour.

This new level was perfectly attuned to the current world. Although it was only the Second Layer, its power already far surpassed that of his previous Sixth Layer Perfection.

Afterward, Ye Tianling went on to cultivate the Chaos Destiny Scripture, the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique, the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao, the Nirvana Rebirth Skill, the Reincarnation Life and Death Fist, the Asura Soul-Slaying Killing Dao, the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill, and the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique.

Normally, cultivating these techniques with his current body would have been extremely difficult.

But with his incomparably pure Dragon Soul Divine Blood, coupled with the refinement from the Samadhi Celestial Fire, Ye Tianling quickly cultivated all these techniques to the Second Layer.

He was now on par with his previous cultivation state, if not slightly more advanced.

If he returned to the New World now, Ye Tianling was confident he could bring out over forty-five percent of his battle power, easily breaking through the Nine Forbidden.

This deep foundation further bolstered Ye Tianling’s confidence.

This process of cultivation, of completely harmonizing with his physical body, still took Ye Tianling a full seven days.

By not going to the Blood-Colored Wilderness for seven days, his cultivation progress should have fallen far behind.

But in reality, Ye Tianling knew that in these seven days, he had completed the most fundamental transformation.

Now, he was no longer that idiot with an "Innate Defect."

During these seven days, aside from achieving unity of body and mind, Unity of Spirit and Body, and Unity of Celestial Dao, he had also revived all of his former Ancient Martial Arts techniques and cultivated them all to the pinnacle of mastery.

Techniques such as the Nine Swords of Dugu, Nine Yin Scripture, Muscle Strengthening Scripture, Turtle Breath Technique, Disguise Technique, Six Meridian Divine Sword, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Finger Snap Divine Technique, Nine Yang Divine Skill, Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, Wave-Riding Light Step, Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm, Little Faceless Technique, Purple Mist Divine Skill, Innate Technique, and the Star Absorption Technique, had all reached a state of supreme mastery.

...

"HAAAAH—"

Exhaling a turbid breath, Ye Tianling stood up.

He had transformed from the mundane to the transcendent, and then from the transcendent, he was Returning to the True Self, appearing mundane once more.

It seemed as though he hadn’t changed much. But in reality, his transformation was a qualitative leap.

"CREAK—"

Ye Tianling opened the door to his room.

A dusty scent wafted out, and the long-unseen sunlight gave him the illusion that a lifetime had passed.

"Ling’Er, you’re out of seclusion? How are you?"

Long Qingzhuo asked at once.

Obviously, she had been keeping a constant watch on him.

"Very well, Mother. Once I go to the Blood-Colored Wilderness again, I’ll be able to accumulate battle power quickly and break through to the next Realm. You don’t need to worry."

Ye Tianling’s tone was filled with confidence.

At this moment, he seemed to possess a special kind of radiance, an indescribable aura.

"Good, that’s truly good. Ling’Er, some enemies might try to harm you and Yun’Er. When you go out, be extra careful."

Long Qingzhuo urged.

Ye Tianling nodded. "I understand, Mother."

Long Qingzhuo walked over and took out a palm-sized, emerald-green jade carving from her Qiankun Ring.

When Ye Tianling saw this jade carving, his pupils contracted slightly—it was a carving of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The lifelike Five-Clawed Golden Dragon seemed poised for Ascension, exuding a divine and mysterious aura.

"This is?"

Ye Tianling’s expression was full of doubt.

"This is something your father left behind. If you perform a Blood Sacrifice on it with your Soul Qi and Essence Blood, it will transform into a mark and brand itself onto your chest. When the time comes, it will have some unexpected effects."

As she spoke, Long Qingzhuo took Ye Tianling’s hand and placed the jade carving in his palm.

At that moment, Ye Tianling could even sense that the Divine Dragon jade carving in his palm seemed to have come to life.

A truly magical sensation welled up within him.

Ye Tianling did not refuse.

He gathered the power of his bloodline and his Soul Power and performed the Blood Sacrifice on the jade carving.

"SWOOSH—"

As he completed the Blood Sacrifice, just as expected, the jade carving transformed into a streak of green light, flew toward his chest, and formed a mark there.

It was a mark like an Ancestral Dao Mark, possessing a very profound Guardian Power.

"Don’t tell anyone about this! And don’t let anyone see the mark—not even your future partner. You don’t have to worry. As long as you don’t intentionally cause it to manifest, others won’t be able to see it."

Long Qingzhuo stressed again.

Ye Tianling nodded and gave her his promise.

"I have always believed that you would be just as outstanding and exceptional as your father. Now, you’ve gotten off to a good start, so I will give you your father’s inheritance now!"

Long Qingzhuo said softly.

Ye Tianling asked in confusion, "Why not pass it to Tianyun?"

Long Qingzhuo shook her head and said with a hint of regret, "Her Talent is great, but she is not our own flesh and blood. The inheritance is tied to our bloodline, so she wouldn’t be able to truly receive it. Therefore, this inheritance can only be given to you. Fortunately, you’ve finally started to change for the better."

Realization dawned on Ye Tianling. He didn’t ask any more questions.

He knew that this inheritance must hide something deeper, but it was not a matter for him to resolve at this moment.

...

Arriving at the Heaven-Reaching Tower in Wulei Ancient City, Ye Tianling could still feel many gazes on him, full of judgment. Among them, many were filled with malice.

He had already grown accustomed to it.

After entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Ye Tianling used his Soul Power to activate the Teleportation Ancient Array, instantly entering the Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City.

Around him, numerous rays of white light descended one after another, materializing into a crowd of Cultivators.

It didn’t take long for someone to recognize Ye Tianling.

"You little bastard! After hiding for so many days, you still dare to show your face?"

Just as Ye Tianling was about to move, an incredibly cold voice lashed out.

Then, a burly young man, his eyes filled with a sinister aura, walked straight toward Ye Tianling.

Wherever he passed, the other Cultivators scrambled to get out of his way.

The area immediately fell silent.

’Yun Xingyi?’

When Ye Tianling saw the young man, a familiar name immediately surfaced from his jumbled memories.

"What? You want to fight?"

Recognizing the newcomer, Ye Tianling’s voice was indifferent, devoid of the fear he used to feel whenever he encountered this person.

"Hm? It’s only been a few days, and I’m already forced to see you in a new light. You even dare to talk back now? How interesting!"

A cruel smile spread across Yun Xingyi’s face. He balled his hands into fists, his knuckles cracking from the pressure.

He looked at Ye Tianling as if he were prey.

"You’re the first. You should feel honored."

Ye Tianling gave Yun Xingyi an indifferent glance, his eyes looking at him as if he were already a dead man.

Yun Xingyi was at the Realm of Sword Void Eight Transformations and possessed a powerful Battle Soul.

But in Ye Tianling’s eyes, he was nothing more than an ant.

Having recovered his full strength, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Now, he had no reason to fear anything!
