Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Long Qingzhuo’s explanation completely broadened Ye Tianling’s horizons.

Only then did Ye Tianling realize just how short-sighted and narrow his understanding of the world truly was.

Clearly, the True Void Divine Realm was far from the only place for Cultivation.

The fact that some of the true Upper Ranks were using entire Star Domains for ’experiments’ was particularly chilling. Their motives were simply horrifying.

"Mother, I understand. I will be sure to make a name for myself at the War Dragon Academy."

Ye Tianling nodded deeply, ready to face this new reality.

"Your identity as Tianshu... does it stem from the Soul Burial Starry Sky? No one else knows, do they?"

Long Qingzhuo was still a little worried.

"No. Tianshu and Ye Tianling have been seen in the same place at the same time on several occasions."

Ye Tianling said confidently.

Long Qingzhuo said, "That’s good. For now, you must increase your strength as quickly as possible and do everything you can to step into the Sword Tribulation Realm. Once the Buried Soul Star Domain fully connects with the outside world, your identity as ’Tianshu’ will surely be recognized by the Cultivators from the Soul Burial Starry Sky. After all, your reputation in that World is just too great.

"Therefore, you must seize every opportunity available to you now. Otherwise, once things in the Soul Burial Starry Sky stabilize, the day of reckoning will come. Also, your father, Ye Fengyang, is still alive, but he is being held captive by the Netherworld Hall. The Netherworld Hall... you just need to know that it exists. If you ever encounter them, you must steer clear of them at all costs..."

Long Qingzhuo cautioned him.

"I understand. Don’t worry, Mother."

Ye Tianling promised earnestly.

"Good. You should go. There’s no time to lose, so head to Qianyang Prefecture now. I’ll send a message to Elder Qian Ye of the Instructor Hall there shortly. When he takes you to test your Talent, remember to perform as well as you can. This is a battle for resources and a contest of Talent. The better your Talent, the more ’privileges’ you will receive."

Long Qingzhuo added after a moment of thought.

Ye Tianling thought for a moment and said, "Don’t worry, Mother. I will show them as much of my Talent as I can. A storm is brewing, and since that’s the case, I won’t hide my true abilities. I will make you and Father proud of me."

A look of relief appeared in Long Qingzhuo’s beautiful eyes. "Your father’s and my greatest regret is that we couldn’t give you a good environment for your Cultivation. We even let you get dragged into this enormous conflict..."

Ye Tianling moved closer to Long Qingzhuo, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Mother, you don’t have to feel that way. No matter the circumstances, haven’t I grown up just fine?"

Long Qingzhuo was gratified, her eyes full of motherly love. "If possible, once you’ve secured a high position at the War Dragon Academy, help Yun’Er out."

Ye Tianling said, "I will."

A hint of satisfaction finally appeared on Long Qingzhuo’s face, but then her expression turned a bit strange. "I’ve always heard that you like to mess around, but whether in your original World or this one, how come I haven’t heard any... ’news’?"

An embarrassed expression appeared on Ye Tianling’s face. ’Mother, she’s asking why I don’t have any children.’

Ye Tianling wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead. "Mother, that... that will definitely happen eventually."

Long Qingzhuo didn’t press the matter, adding, "That girl Xu’Er isn’t bad either. If you don’t want to be with her, then stop leading her on. If you do, then treat her well. She’s had a hard life."

Ye Tianling grew even more embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

...

Every mother was a nag.

Even one who had once been an Ice Mountain Snow Woman, a woman of few words.

By the time Ye Tianling had listened to all of his mother Long Qingzhuo’s instructions, nearly half an hour had passed.

After leaving, he saw a woman in a purple gauze dress with a rather plain appearance standing quietly in the distance, as if she stood apart from the rest of the world.

She was a stranger. Ye Tianling was unfamiliar with her temperament, figure, and face.

But from the first moment he saw her, Ye Tianling knew she had to be Yuan Haoning.

"You’re here? That was quick."

Ye Tianling said with a smile.

"Yes. What do you plan on doing?"

Yuan Haoning wasn’t surprised that Ye Tianling had recognized her. She just asked calmly.

"Qianyang Prefecture. I’m preparing to go to the War Dragon Academy. For now, you can stay by my side and act as my Maid. Don’t worry, I will definitely figure out a Gathering Technique for the Hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns so you can resume your Cultivation!"

Ye Tianling promised.

No trace of excitement appeared in Yuan Haoning’s beautiful eyes.

She just watched Ye Tianling quietly.

Her clear and serene eyes seemed to be trying to see right through him.

"I always do what I say I will."

Ye Tianling added.

Yuan Haoning met his gaze without flinching. She watched him for a long moment before looking away. "Fine," she said coolly. "I believe you."

"Then... let’s go."

Ye Tianling said, satisfied.

"We can take a Space-Time Flying Ship. I have enough Spirit Crystals for the fare," Yuan Haoning said.

"That’s great. Let’s go... Hmm, I’m not familiar with the way. You lead."

Ye Tianling said with a laugh.

"Don’t imitate Tianshu’s gaze or tone of voice. If you do, I won’t be able to stop myself from killing you!"

Yuan Haoning suddenly said something completely baffling.

Her words made Ye Tianling freeze, as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him.

In that moment, Ye Tianling realized that he had to start paying attention to the smaller details.

...

Wulei Ancient City, city center.

An ancient torrent of energy cascaded down from the void like a waterfall.

The vast and ancient aura deeply moved even Ye Tianling.

A colossal Flying Ship, stretching for several thousand meters, radiated a terrifying Divinity that was suffocating.

"The Space-Time Flying Ship contains Divine Law and is empowered by the Great Dao, allowing it to traverse the void between major cities. I know a little about your past. You don’t understand many basic things, so don’t speak carelessly. I will explain anything you don’t understand..."

Yuan Haoning’s voice was detached.

She conveyed this to Ye Tianling via voice transmission, hoping he would keep a low profile and avoid trouble.

The real world wasn’t the True Void Divine Realm. In reality, powerful experts of the Tribulation Realm and Ancestral Realm existed.

There were no segregated Battle Power zones in reality, either. An encounter with a true expert would mean certain death.

"Understood."

Ye Tianling understood her meaning and had no objections.

Two powerful Cultivators in azure armor stood guard beneath the Space-Time Flying Ship.

Their auras sent a bone-chilling cold through Ye Tianling.

As Ye Tianling and Yuan Haoning approached, the two Cultivators fixed them with their cold, sharp gazes.

"Three hundred Upper Grade Spirit Crystals per person,"

one of the armored Cultivators said coldly.

Yuan Haoning nodded and produced six Top Grade Spirit Crystals.

After collecting the Spirit Crystals, the armored Cultivator waved his hand, sending out a ray of Spirit Light that enveloped Ye Tianling and Yuan Haoning.

"BZZZT—"

Instantly, a radiant glow shot out from the Space-Time Flying Ship, enveloping Ye Tianling and Yuan Haoning.

The space around them warped, and in the next moment, they appeared on the Flying Ship as if by Instant Teleportation.

The deck of the Flying Ship resembled a massive plaza filled with rows of seats.

Nearly every seat was already occupied by a seated Cultivator.

Ye Tianling found two empty seats and walked over to them.

"Ye Tianling? Are you going to Qianyang Prefecture too? You’ve recovered?"

Just then, a young woman in a cyan gauze dress, sitting in a seat not far from Ye Tianling, looked over in surprise.

She wasn’t a peerless beauty, but she was exceptionally cute. Her aura was something of a mix between that of Ancient Fairy and Xu Hanyan.

"You’re... Lin Yuyan? The little girl from the Lin Family? You... you’re back from the War Dragon Academy?"

Ye Tianling asked in surprise.

"You really have recovered!"

Upon hearing his words, a flicker of astonishment crossed Lin Yuyan’s beautiful eyes.
