Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Feng Caiyi was extremely hesitant.

This hesitation wasn’t born from any concern for Ye Tianling. Instead, she feared that if this ever came to light, she wouldn’t be able to face Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo.

Worry was written all over her beautiful face.

"Sister, how can you be so indecisive? How will we ever accomplish anything this way? I know you’re worried about facing Tianyu and Tianmo, but have you considered what all this is for?"

Feng Cailuo’s voice deepened slightly, and a hint of disappointment was clear in her eyes.

"I just... *Sigh*... After all, he was so good to Tianyu and Tianmo. If they ever found out, I’m afraid they would never forgive me."

Feng Caiyi sighed.

"Then we won’t let them know."

Feng Cailuo’s tone grew even colder.

"What if he makes it out alive? I can’t shake the feeling that he’s far too calm."

"He has seen everything clearly, so it’s natural for him to be disillusioned. His calmness is to be expected. After all, he had a very close relationship with the Goddess. To him, she was a teacher, a friend, and a close companion. As for him making it out alive? Impossible."

"But what if?"

"There are no ’what ifs.’ Once he’s been harvested, how could he possibly withstand the Law Killing Intent of the Ancestor Dao? We’ve come this far, Sister. You should accept it. And even if you can’t, what can you do? The Goddess has to awaken, and someone has to pay the price. Ye Tianling is nothing but an ant. It’s his great fortune and honor to have even made it this far."

"Alright..."

In the end, Feng Caiyi said no more. She simply waited in silence for the final changes to manifest in the Thousand Shadows Pool.

...

The crane’s shadow crosses the cold pool; the blood moon chills the autumn air.

Ye Tianling stood quietly before the Thousand Shadows Pool, focusing his bloodline as it transformed, undergoing one Nirvana after another.

VMMM—

Just then, the Dragon Race Decree he carried with him suddenly began to vibrate.

"Hm?"

Something stirred inexplicably in Ye Tianling’s heart.

A faint message suddenly emerged from within the decree.

"Ling’Er, if this message from the Dragon Race Decree has appeared, it means you’ve reached a dead end. Do not despair, and do not worry. Inside the Dragon Soul Decree is a Space Mirror. This Space Mirror was once the host for your father, Ye Fengyang’s, Battle Soul Parasite.

You can now use this Space Mirror to perform the Parasite process yourself. I trust you’ve already mastered the Parasite Ability, haven’t you?

It is true that we should repay our debts. But after repaying them, we cannot simply resign ourselves to death.

The Space Mirror contains the core inheritances from your father and me.

We are little more than cripples now; our inheritances have been stripped from us through a special method. We wronged you by allowing you to become a seed for others, but now, your father and I are willing to become *your* seeds. We will pass our greatest Talents on to you so that you may rise once more.

With these two ’seeds,’ you can step directly into the Sword Tribulation Realm. With the Space Mirror in your possession, you will be nearly invincible...

When that time comes, if Long Qingwan... that is, Feng Cailuo... still tries to cause you trouble, you tell her this: ’The Ye Race will one day return to its true glory. Fengyang has been forgiven by the Divine Beings of the Ye Race and has returned to the Divine Descendant Ye Clan. And you, Ye Tianling, have inherited the Fiery Sun Divine Blood Talent of the Divine Descendants. You will become the direct bloodline Inheritor of the Divine Descendant Ye Clan, a third-generation core member! Tell them to think very carefully about their actions!’

Once you are free of your status as a seed, Ling’Er, you will be able to have children! You can pursue any girl you like without any more hesitation...

Also, Ling’Er, if all goes well, you must not only continue with the War Dragon Academy’s assessment, but you must also take first place and earn the right to enter the Taiyin Ancient Tomb! After you leave the Taiyin Ancient Tomb, leave the War Dragon Academy immediately. By then, you should be somewhere between the Sword Tribulation Third Refining and the Five Refinement Realm. Your father will come to bring you back to the Divine Descendant Ye Clan. We’ll truly be going home...

Ling’Er, the main reason we finally agreed to this plan was to strip away your Sword Venerate Dominating Body. When it comes to facing a Tribulation, that physique is a dead end. This was a desperate measure, and we didn’t take your own feelings into account. For that, we are truly sorry..."

As Ye Tianling sensed the changes in the Dragon Race Decree and processed the information within, he couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.

He already had his own way of dealing with all this; he wasn’t dejected, much less desperate.

He was just saddened that Tianyu and Tianmo’s mother, Feng Caiyi, and her sister, Feng Cailuo—also known as Long Qingyue and Long Qingwan—could be so utterly heartless.

’If Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo knew, what would they think?’

’Such ruthlessness... it’s truly going too far.’

’In truth, if they had just explained everything openly, given my relationship with Ji Yueqi, how could I have refused to help?’

’All that scheming... and for what? Did you think you would succeed? Not only did your schemes against me fail, but my parents even turned your plots back against you... How laughable. He who plots against others will himself be plotted against. Don’t you understand yet? In this world, no amount of conspiracy can stand against absolute Battle Power.’

’In the face of true Battle Power, everything else shatters with a single touch!’

Ye Tianling felt a sense of melancholy. But along with acceptance, he also felt a stir of gratitude.

He sighed, then activated his Power of Demon God and channeled it into his Celestial Secret Dao.

Subsequently, his Path of Time Origin manifested a mysterious curtain of light.

The figures of Feng Cailuo and Feng Caiyi appeared on the light screen. Their conversation outside the Thousand Shadows Pool was displayed in its near-perfect entirety.

By combining the Ability of his Mechanical Heart, the Power of Demon God, the Celestial Secret Dao, and his own understanding and application of Time Law and Space Law, Ye Tianling was able to perfectly reconstruct the scene of Feng Cailuo and Feng Caiyi’s conversation, leaving nothing out.

Although the scene was silent, Ye Tianling used his Eye of Celestial Secret to read their lips, easily deciphering the content of their conversation.

After taking it all in, a cold, sarcastic sneer appeared on Ye Tianling’s face.

’Slaughtering the donkey the moment the grinding is done... what a slick move.’

’But did they really think they could kill me, Ye Tianling, just like that? Weren’t they being a little too naive?’

’Did they really think I’d be a dead man just because my foundations were stripped away?’

Ye Tianling took a deep breath. Following the method Long Qingzhuo had taught him, he used a drop of his Dragon Soul Divine Blood to activate the Space Mirror.

VMMM—

Instantly, an ancient, palm-sized Bronze Mirror flew out from the Dragon Race Decree and sank deep into the space between Ye Tianling’s eyebrows.

The Bronze Mirror appeared within the domain of the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower. It flew directly to the great doors of the tower and affixed itself there, fitting as perfectly as a protective Eight Trigrams Mirror on a gate.

At that moment, Ye Tianling sensed waves of a profound aura and realized the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower was undergoing an unimaginable transformation.

’Hm? The two of them... they’re a perfect match? It seems the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower is evolving in an even more mysterious direction?’

Ye Tianling was inwardly stunned.

But soon, the world around him began to show signs of instability.
