Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 47: Dragon Soul Enlightenment Dao, North Nether Divine Skill

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Dragon Soul Enlightenment Dao, North Nether Divine Skill

Ye Yuemei nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Yun Zhiruo said, "The Sword Dao has three great realms. The foundational Qi Realm encompasses ’Swordsman,’ ’Sword Beginning,’ and ’Sword Qi.’ The advanced Element Realm encompasses ’Sword Essence,’ ’Sword Intent,’ and ’Sword Heart.’ Finally, the core Spirit Realm includes ’Sword Spirit,’ ’Sword Soul,’ and the ’Sword Spirit Realm.’ After transforming through these three great Sword Dao Realms, you can roam the heavens and traverse the void."

Ye Yuemei had already heard Ye Cangqian mention this division of realms.

She knew she still had a long way to go and that she no longer had much time to get distracted by other things.

Right now, her realm was merely the Sword Beginning Realm; she had not even reached the Sword Qi Realm.

"I understand."

Ye Yuemei exhaled a turbid breath and spoke seriously.

Yun Zhiruo said, "Let’s go."

Ye Yuemei nodded, then glanced at Ye Fenghan and said, "Father, Brother Tianling’s bones were all shattered, yet he never knelt. Senior Sister, let’s go."

After she finished speaking, Ye Yuemei said no more.

Yun Zhiruo gave Ye Fenghan an inexplicable look, her eyes equally devoid of emotion.

Then, she rose up on her sword and flew away, taking Ye Yuemei with her.

Ouyang Ruoxue was unwilling to let them go, but after a long hesitation, she ultimately did not try to stop them. Instead, she moved aside to clear the path before Yun Zhiruo.

"Ye Yuemei, in three years, we fight to the death!"

At that moment, Ye Cangqian suddenly shouted.

Yun Zhiruo’s figure paused. Her expression turned incomparably cold, and a killing intent began to spread from her.

"Three years from this day, I will fight for Brother Tianling, and for myself! Ye Cangqian, I accept this agreement!"

Ye Yuemei replied with immense coldness.

Her voice, beneath the vast heavens, seemed exceptionally loud and exceptionally firm.

...

The setting sun vanished.

A Blood Moon rose.

Within the Blood Moon, that old, crooked-neck tree appeared once again.

A blood-colored figure was continuously chopping at it. Each swing of the axe seemed to contain an unparalleled conception.

Ye Tianling’s Dragon Soul hovered in a five-meter area above his body, silently watching the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon in the night sky. His understanding deepened.

’I can actually cultivate in Dragon Soul form, but I’ve almost completely lost the connection to my physical body. What’s going on?’

Many doubts also arose in Ye Tianling’s mind.

’It was also a Sword Soul Attack. When Jin Xietian’s Sword Soul Attack struck my body, a Blood Pearl in the third region of the Dragon Blood at my brow exploded and instantly defended against it. Even though I was severely injured, it was easy to recover, and I felt a sense of crisis at the time. But when Ye Cangqian attacked me, I didn’t feel any sense of crisis at all, and the Dragon Blood at my brow didn’t resist in the slightest. What is the reason for this?

’Could it be that Ye Cangqian’s attack was meant to help my soul completely fuse with the Huaxia Dragon Soul? Or was it that if his Alchemy Furnace had absorbed and refined me, it would have instead helped me refine my Samadhi True Fire and let me undergo a baptism of fire?’

’That’s probably it!’

After pondering for a long time, Ye Tianling finally came to this conclusion.

As he pondered, his Dragon Soul form instinctively imitated the tree-chopping motion of the blood-colored figure and swung down.

With that one chop, the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique within Ye Tianling’s body immediately surged forth, manifesting directly inside his Dragon Soul.

In that instant, Ye Tianling had the strange illusion that he had condensed a Xuanyuan Dragon Soul Sword Soul. It was as if he had stepped into the Supreme Sword Soul Realm in a single stride!

Ye Tianling’s stray thoughts instantly shattered, and his focus sharpened.

He tried to imitate the chopping motions of the figure in the Blood Moon, using them to circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique for cultivation within his Dragon Soul.

Sure enough, the process was extremely smooth, and cultivating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique became easier than ever before.

After a period of cultivation, Ye Tianling felt that his Dragon Soul had grown much stronger.

From within his physical body, all the Dragon Blood Pearls from the first, second, and even the third layer of the Celestial Ladder Treasure Tower flowed out and merged into his Dragon Soul.

Ye Tianling felt as if he had transformed into a true Dragon Soul and gained a life of its own.

But when he tried to call out to Que Xinyan, tried to make some noise in the real world, and even tried to strike Que Xinyan with his Dragon Soul Power, there was no effect whatsoever.

Que Xinyan didn’t sense anything either.

Having failed, Ye Tianling focused on his Dragon Soul form and cultivated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, practicing the tree-chopping move again and again.

At first, Ye Tianling didn’t understand much, but gradually, he discovered that these tree-chopping moves seemed applicable to numerous martial arts manuals, like some kind of evolved version.

Ye Tianling began to take this extremely seriously. He finally let go of his worries about his physical injuries and that obsession, wholeheartedly immersing himself in his Dragon Soul state.

Gradually, it was as if Ye Tianling had unlocked another layer of his Dragon Blood Inheritance, as well as another layer of memories belonging to Dugu Qiubai.

As he gradually fused with this inherited information, Ye Tianling came to comprehend an even more profound Sword Dao Realm.

He even began to comprehend more memories—memories concerning the private life of Dugu Qiubai, which slowly started to surface.

Ye Tianling was completely immersed, becoming one with his Dragon Soul and entering an unprecedented state of enlightenment.

"In the North Nether there is a fish named Kun. So great is the Kun, its size is unknown for how many thousands of li it stretches. It transforms into a bird named Peng. So great is the Peng’s back, its size is unknown for how many thousands of li it stretches. When it soars in fury, its wings are like clouds that curtain the sky. This is the bird that, when the ocean currents shift, migrates to the South Nether—and the South Nether is the Celestial Pool."

"When the Peng migrates to the South Nether, it beats the water for three thousand li. It climbs on the whirlwind, soaring ninety thousand li high, and travels on the wind of the sixth month."

"In the desolate north is a dark sea, the Celestial Pool. In it is a fish, several thousand li wide, and no one knows how long. Its name is Kun. There is a bird named Peng, its back is like Mount Taishan and its wings are like clouds that curtain the sky. It rides the spiraling whirlwind up ninety thousand li, piercing through the clouds and mist, shouldering the blue sky, and then it heads for the south, making its way to the South Nether."

"He who rides upon the truth of Heaven and Earth, who navigates the changes of the six energies to wander in the infinite, what does he have to rely on? Therefore it is said: The perfect man has no self, the spiritual man has no merit, the Saint has no name." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

...

In the midst of his Enlightenment Dao within the Dragon Soul, Ye Tianling comprehended a brand new divine technique inheritance. It was Dugu Qiubai’s core cultivation technique for achieving the Shattered Void, a peerless divine skill that could devour the Inner Strength of others for one’s own use—the North Nether Divine Skill!

At the same time, Dugu Qiubai had also combined the Divine Hundred Transformations body technique and the Wave-Riding Light Step. Powered by the North Nether Divine Skill, he transformed them into the Kunpeng Carefree Travel body technique.

The North Nether Divine Skill gathered the core inheritances of many Internal Cultivation Methods, such as the Star Absorption Technique, the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, the Little Faceless Technique, the Innate Technique, and other orthodox Internal Cultivation Methods like the Purple Mist Divine Skill. Its tyrannical power was in no way inferior to the Nine Yin Scripture or the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

At the same time, Ye Tianling gradually realized that the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique was actually a supreme sword technique formed by combining the Nine Swords of Dugu, the Nine Yin Scripture, the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the Finger Snap Divine Technique, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and the Nine Swords of Dugu, all powered by the Dragon Soul Bloodline!

Upon comprehending all of this, the many doubts in Ye Tianling’s heart were instantly cleared away.

Because he had already cultivated every one of these cultivation techniques to the state of ’Great Success’, now that he had this new enlightenment and the foundation of the North Nether Divine Skill, his understanding of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique immediately deepened by a great deal.

But at the same time, he also had his own perspective.

Any one of those martial arts manuals was incomparably powerful. The might they could unleash in this world was beyond imagination!
