Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling looked at Ye Tianyun with some surprise, and his expression inexplicably made a sliver of guilt sprout in her heart.

A simple "Brother" had caused such a change in his mood, which made Ye Tianyun feel awful.

"What did you say? I didn’t quite hear you."

Ye Tianling said, blinking at Ye Tianyun.

Ye Tianyun froze for a moment, then instinctively shot Ye Tianling a look. "Brother, Brother! I called you ’Brother,’ didn’t you hear me? If you didn’t, then you don’t have to hear it ever again!"

Ye Tianling rubbed his nose and chuckled. "I heard you, I heard you. Hehe, I just wanted to hear it a few more times, that’s all."

A strange pang of sorrow struck Ye Tianyun’s heart, but she didn’t say anything else.

"Let’s go."

Ye Tianling’s Dao Body spoke, his tone cold.

The moment he spoke, the somewhat harmonious atmosphere instantly turned frigid.

It was only then that Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er remembered that they were still in the hands of this Young Master Tianshu, their lives hanging in the balance.

"Young Master Tianshu—"

Ye Tianyun bit her lip and was about to speak, but ’Tianshu’ cut her off directly.

"Don’t bother. Don’t even think about it."

Ye Tianling’s Dao Body refused coolly.

Ye Tianyun lowered her head, glancing at Ye Tianling guiltily.

Clearly, she blamed herself for being unable to protect her brother, Ye Tianling.

"Tianyun, let’s focus on killing Yin Spirits for our Cultivation first. As for the rest, we’ll just have to take it one step at a time."

Liu Xu’Er was helpless as well. Escape was impossible, but at least Tianshu wasn’t actively making things difficult for them yet.

Ye Tianyun sighed softly and could only agree with Liu Xu’Er.

The cave was dark and frigid. As they walked deeper, gusts of sinister wind washed over them. Even Ye Tianling’s Dao Body could feel the bone-piercing chill.

WHOOSH—

After they had been walking for about a thousand breaths, a cold killing intent materialized within the chilling winds of the void and abruptly shot toward them.

"Brother, watch out!"

The moment Ye Tianyun sensed it, she reacted instinctively, bursting into action. She instantly gathered a strand of Slaughter Sword Intent and viciously slashed it into the empty air.

CHH-CHH—

Her sword strike tore through the cold killing intent in the void, but it accomplished nothing.

The sinister presence continued its relentless charge toward Ye Tianling.

Dao Body Tianshu, however, remained unmoved.

CHH-CHH—

Ye Tianling, meanwhile, seemed completely oblivious, showing no reaction whatsoever.

At that very instant, Ye Tianyun summoned her Flame Battle Soul, which manifested as a beautiful Yunque.

The Yunque expanded to five meters in size, enveloping Ye Tianling completely as it charged to meet the cold, murderous aura.

THWUMP—

With this impact, the void suddenly trembled, and a destructive ripple surged outward in all directions.

WHOOSH—

Liu Xu’Er made her move, striking out with a palm full of Void Realm Battle Soul Power to shatter the destructive ripples.

At the same time, she launched her own attack in another direction.

In an instant, the aura of her Battle Soul transformed into Flame Power.

Other types of Battle Soul Energy were ineffective against these Yin Spirits, but Flame Attribute Battle Soul Energy was clearly much more potent.

PFFT—

Liu Xu’Er struck, almost instantly crushing another Yin Spirit to death.

Afterward, Liu Xu’Er’s body trembled slightly as she instantly absorbed several strands of incredibly complex Dao Patterns.

Once the Dao Patterns had condensed, a fetching blush clearly appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianyun had also dispatched the Yin Spirit that had been attacking Ye Tianling.

The Yin Spirit dissolved into a cold mist, which quickly condensed into profound Dao Patterns and converged upon Ye Tianyun’s Fourth Spirit.

Her previously incomplete Fourth Spirit, the Thief-Devouring Spirit, now condensed an incredibly clear and pure Dao Pattern.

"I’m really making progress! I can finally transform again!"

Ye Tianyun was so excited her voice trembled.

"Mm, it’s good that you can transform."

Liu Xu’Er was also excited, because her own Realm was beginning to transform as well.

Accumulating Battle Power Dao Patterns within one’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits was an incredibly difficult task. Every living being had a finite number of Dao Patterns they could condense. Once that limit was reached, killing more enemies would have no effect.

If one could no longer condense Battle Power Dao Patterns, their power would stagnate.

"Brother, you should try killing them too. These Yin Spirits are strange, but not particularly strong. The transformative effect on you would be excellent."

Ye Tianyun no longer hesitated to call Ye Tianling ’Brother’, and she hoped he could also advance further.

"Alright."

Ye Tianling replied obediently.

He showed no special flair, merely circulating the Cultivation Technique this body had originally practiced: the Jade Water Sky Connecting Swordsmanship.

Ye Tianling only executed the Jade Water Sky Connecting Swordsmanship at this body’s baseline level, without infusing it with any real Battle Power.

But even so, his sword strike was as swift as a flash of lightning, carrying an overwhelming momentum.

With a single strike, he hit a Yin Spirit, and in that same instant, it disappeared.

"You need to convert your Sword Intent to the Yang Attribute to counter the Yin Spirits. It’s far more effective. The way you’re doing it is completely useless!"

Liu Xu’Er said, giving Ye Tianling a cursory glance as she offered her advice.

"That’s right, Brother. Xu’Er is right. You can’t kill Yin Spirits that way!"

Ye Tianyun added.

But no sooner had the words left her mouth than she was struck dumb.

And it wasn’t just Ye Tianyun; Liu Xu’Er was just as stunned.

Because after Ye Tianling’s sword had pierced the Yin Spirit, it had dissolved into a burst of cold Energy that exploded outward into the void.

POP! POP! POP!

A moment later, three more Yin Spirits that touched the resulting ripple exploded simultaneously.

One sword strike, four Yin Spirits dead.

A total of forty Battle Power Dao Patterns clearly converged upon Ye Tianling’s body!

These Dao Patterns then settled into Ye Tianling’s Seventh Spirit, the Foul Lung Spirit.

The number of Battle Power Dao Patterns on it, originally in the single digits, had now suddenly reached nearly half its capacity.

The phantom image of the spirit manifested and then vanished, but the state of Ye Tianling’s condensing Battle Power Dao Patterns was clearly visible for a moment—long enough for both Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er to see it.

The two young women were completely stupefied, staring blankly at Ye Tianling, having completely forgotten to attack.

"How is that possible?"

Liu Xu’Er was in a complete daze as she muttered the words.

"It is possible. This Ye Tianling’s Sword Intent contains a power of extreme cold. Extreme Yin Births Yang. He seems to have a decent understanding of this kind of Sword Dao."

Dao Body ’Tianshu’ commented coolly.

Then, he added with a laugh, "Not bad, kid. I didn’t expect you to have some Talent. Guess you’re not a complete waste after all."

Ye Tianling said calmly, "Let my sister and Xu’Er go, and I’ll teach you Swordsmanship."

Tianshu roared with laughter. "You? Forget it. Cultivate hard. In a hundred years, you might just about be able to catch up to me!"

Tianshu’s words were filled with utter contempt for Ye Tianling.

Of course, Ye Tianling wasn’t angry. After all, they were both him.

But upon hearing this, Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er were clearly extremely displeased.
