Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

As far as Ye Tianling was concerned, was there any difference between Yuan Haoning liking Tianshu and liking him?

There was no difference at all.

Ye Tianling led Yuan Haoning out of the Blood-Colored Ancient City.

After crossing through a few desolate mountain ranges, the two entered the Great Cang Mountains.

In the Cang Mountains were Battle Beasts like War Wolves and Grizzly Bears.

These were the native lifeforms of the Blood-Colored Wilderness World. They belonged to the Demon Race but were incapable of Transformation.

With Ye Tianling’s power, killing these Battle Beasts was naturally a simple task.

With Yuan Haoning’s current strength, it was also no great effort for her to kill them.

However, after she killed them, she couldn’t form any Battle Power Dao Patterns. Although she could absorb the Essence, Qi, and Soul of the dead Battle Beasts, her strength didn’t increase.

It seemed to be working, and she could even feel her power seemingly increase, but in reality, there was clearly no effect.

"See? This is the situation right now."

Yuan Haoning sighed, her beautiful eyes resting on Ye Tianling’s face as if hoping he could offer a solution.

"Try again. I think I know the reason now," Ye Tianling said softly.

"Okay."

Yuan Haoning said nothing more and immediately began hunting War Wolves again.

The War Wolf was a giant, blood-furred wolf that stood two meters tall. Its strength was considerable; an ordinary Cultivator at the Sword Void Seven Transformation Realm would definitely be unable to hunt one.

But this was not a concern for either Ye Tianling or Yuan Haoning.

"AWOOO—"

The blood-furred giant wolf roared repeatedly, tilting its head back to howl at the sky.

At the same time, its eyes began to turn blood-red, as if it were undergoing some kind of mutation.

"SHINK—"

Yuan Haoning manifested her Slaughter Battle Soul, condensing it into a dark red longsword. With a single strike, she killed the War Wolf, pinning it to the ground.

"HUMMM—"

The War Wolf’s Essence, Qi, and Soul began to gather. A portion flowed into Yuan Haoning’s body, while the rest actually condensed into a blood-red Battle Soul.

"It actually dropped a Battle Soul? My luck’s not bad. Huh, and it’s even a Battle Armor-type Battle Soul."

Finding it a bit strange, Yuan Haoning gathered the Battle Soul, which formed a suit of blood-red, cloak-like Battle Armor.

"Its Defense Power is poor. It’s useless," Ye Tianling said after a single glance.

"Mhm, I’ll put it away and exchange it for Spirit Crystals then."

Yuan Haoning put away the Battle Soul, then turned her beautiful eyes back to Ye Tianling, a trace of hope within them.

"I’ve seen enough," Ye Tianling said after a moment of thought. "I’ll set up an Array, and then I’ll help you unlock the crucial shackles. After that, you’ll be able to form Dao Patterns again."

"R-Really?"

In that moment, Yuan Haoning was incredibly excited.

Ye Tianling nodded, then began to gather Soul Qi and manifest Primordial Runes to create a Guardian Array.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianling’s Dao Body Tianshu was hunting numerous powerful lifeforms.

These were almost all various types of Demon Beasts, and they possessed great intelligence, making them difficult opponents.

Ye Tianling’s Dao Body directly activated the peerless Defense Power of the Sword Venerate Dominating Body. Paired with the defensive effects of the Tianshu Myriad Paths Imperial Qilin Armor, killing them was still not difficult.

Through this slaughter, Ye Tianling’s Seven Spirits also began to form Battle Power Dao Patterns once more.

Soon, each of Ye Tianling’s Seven Spirits had formed a full one hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns.

Then, after all Seven Spirits reached Perfection, Ye Tianling wanted to form his Three Souls, but his Realm suddenly broke through into the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm!

Back with his main body, Ye Tianling’s Realm also rose naturally, breaking through at the same time.

However, Ye Tianling activated the Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique to conceal his Realm’s aura, so Yuan Haoning didn’t notice anything unusual.

Ye Tianling voiced the doubt in his heart, "Yuan Haoning, let me ask you something. After the Seven Spirits all reach one hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns, why can’t the Three Souls form them?"

"The Three Souls? You don’t need to form Battle Power Dao Patterns for the Three Souls. Only after reaching the Sword Void Nine Transformations and bringing the Seven Spirits to complete Perfection can you break a certain barrier and continue forming Battle Power Dao Patterns.

Transforming the Seven Spirits is the key. For most people, it’s already incredibly difficult to achieve Perfection with ninety-nine Battle Power Dao Patterns for each of the Seven Spirits.

Once you reach the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm, you’ve essentially reached the limit of that Realm and can attract the Thunder Tribulation at any time to step into the Sword Tribulation Realm."

Yuan Haoning was a little surprised, but considering Ye Tianling’s situation, it was quite normal for him not to know some of this basic information.

"Oh," Ye Tianling mused, "so those geniuses at the Divine Son and Divine Daughter Level must have broken the Imprisonment in the Seven Spirits Realm? They can transform their Three Souls?"

"Transforming ninety-nine Battle Power Dao Patterns is called ’Minor Perfection,’ while forming one hundred is ’Great Perfection.’ To go beyond that, transform the Three Souls, and then step into the Sword Tribulation Realm... that’s the stuff of legends.

Currently, no one is known to have transformed their Three Souls. However... there were once rumors that some of the Upper Ranks were devising a special plan. The goal was to create a World specifically to directly transform the Three Souls.

Then, they would fuse the two Worlds, allowing everyone to cultivate both their Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

Of course, this is just a rumor."

Yuan Haoning didn’t hide anything and told him everything she knew.

She had no idea that her words immediately made Ye Tianling think of the world of the Buried Soul Star Domain.

In that world, cultivation started from the very basics, transforming the Sword Soul... Dual Sword Souls, even Triple Sword Souls...

’In the Soul Burial Starry Sky, you cultivate Soul Power! Everything is related to the Soul—Soul projections, Soul Battles, and so on! I think I’ve discovered the true purpose of the Soul Burial Starry Sky. Does this mean that those geniuses who picked the ’seeds,’ only after they fully return and achieve the Fusion of their Three Souls and Seven Spirits, will they truly rise?’

Ye Tianling’s heart shook, and his expression instantly became extremely grave.

"What’s wrong, Ye Tianling?"

Yuan Haoning was both curious and suspicious; Ye Tianling rarely showed such a grave expression.

’Could it be that helping me form one hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns is too difficult? Is there no hope?’ Yuan Haoning’s mind instinctively went in that direction.

"It’s nothing..." Ye Tianling said, avoiding the topic and revealing a small secret instead. "I just have a vague feeling that my Three Souls have also reached Perfection. It’s a bit strange."

"You... you can sense your Three Souls? And you think they’ve already reached Perfection? Are you sure it’s not just a feeling?" Yuan Haoning exclaimed, completely stunned.

"It’s not just a feeling," Ye Tianling said seriously. "I’m certain my Three Souls have reached Perfection. Once I form one hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns, I’ll probably step into the Sword Tribulation Realm immediately. Half a month is enough time! But before that, I’ll help you enter the Sword Tribulation Realm first and complete your transformation."

All the worry in Yuan Haoning’s heart vanished, replaced by extreme excitement in her eyes. "R-Really?"
