Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 51: Gestation of a True Dragon, Celestial Spirit Sword Body

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Gestation of a True Dragon, Celestial Spirit Sword Body

Cyan Moon Sword Sect, Moon Language Sword Mountain.

Solitary peaks rose like a forest, wreathed in a swirling purple mist. Towering cliffs fanned out like a great screen.

Waves of Cold Moon Sword Intent reflected the light of the Blood Moon.

Beneath the Blood Moon, Ye Yueling sat quietly in a cross-legged position, engrossed in her Hard Cultivation as she absorbed the Moonlight Power and the Blood-Colored Power.

It was as if a True Dragon Soul lay dormant within her Dantian. Her abdomen trembled from time to time, echoing with what sounded like the roar of a Dragon Soul.

"Pfft—"

She involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face instantly turned pale and wan, a weary expression settling upon her features.

"Is this how you cultivate?"

Lin Yuchan’s figure suddenly appeared, her voice cold as she rebuked her.

Ye Yueling’s body trembled, and panic flashed across her face. She hastily tried to refocus her mind and immediately resume her cultivation.

But the more anxious and tense she became, the harder it was to find her focus.

"Your bloodline contains Ancient True Dragon Qi, which means you can comprehend the Ancient Daoist Lineage within the Blood Moon! This is an unparalleled Talent, enough to rival Yun Zhiruo’s Extreme Cold Sword Body! In just the last month, your Qi Sea has developed two Qi Pillars, and both have reached the Nine Qi Festival. A Talent of two Qi Pillars, each at the Nine Qi Festival—that alone surpasses even Yun Zhiruo!

Your progress was excellent before, but in the last few days, after just half a day away from the mountain, you’ve completely forgotten your conviction, forgotten your original purpose!

If this continues, even with your extraordinary Talent, you’ll end up as nothing but trash. You won’t even be able to form a Sword Soul!"

Lin Yuchan scolded her coldly, but her voice was also laced with deep worry.

’This disciple is astonishingly brilliant. The fact that her Talent can grow is the most formidable part.’

’And this kind of Talent, along with the ancient bloodline aura within her body, could very well be enough to activate the ancient, unparalleled Sword Dao Physique—the Celestial Spirit Sword Body!’

’Unfortunately, this potential had only just begun to manifest when Ye Yueling suddenly lost her fighting spirit. She spent her days in a daze, absent-minded during her Cultivation. Her Cultivation level wasn’t just stagnating, it was actually regressing!’

’Now she’s even driven herself to vomit blood repeatedly through her Cultivation, and her Soul is turbulent and unstable!’

This turn of events made Lin Yuchan’s hopeful heart feel as though a basin of ice water had been dumped on it.

"Master, I was wrong."

Ye Yueling lowered her head and immediately moved to kneel, but Lin Yuchan stopped her.

"There’s no need to kneel. From now on, you are not to kneel to me, or to anyone else! Remember that—*anyone*! This is the nobility that stems from your bloodline!"

Lin Yuchan instructed her earnestly.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Yueling replied seriously.

Seeing Ye Yueling’s haggard face and bloodshot eyes, Lin Yuchan’s heart ached. When she recalled the ’humiliating’ experience her disciple had suffered over a month ago, her heart couldn’t help but soften.

"Yueling, what’s on your mind? Tell me what’s troubling you. I will help you resolve it."

Lin Yuchan said in a gentle voice.

Ye Yueling opened her mouth, but she seemed unable to speak. Her hand, however, inexplicably drifted to her abdomen. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Seeing this, Lin Yuchan was stunned for a moment. Then, her expression suddenly became priceless.

After a long moment, she said with a sigh, "You aren’t pregnant, so don’t let your mind run wild. Your bloodline is simply nurturing the aura of the ancient Celestial Spirit bloodline. This is an ancient Spiritual inheritance known as ’a True Dragon gestating in the Soul Sea,’ and it’s a sign that you are developing the Celestial Spirit Sword Body.

This is actually a transformation of the Talent within your Qi Sea. Once you complete it, your physique will change, and you will possess the ancient, unparalleled Sword Dao Physique known as the Celestial Spirit Sword Body.

I saw the signs long ago, but you... you had no idea, and you actually thought you were... pregnant?"

Ye Yueling was stunned. An exceptionally complex mix of emotions played across her face. She was both overjoyed and, for some strange reason, disappointed.

This reaction, in turn, confused Lin Yuchan.

Stunned, Lin Yuchan said, "Yueling, you—"

But Ye Yueling suddenly dropped to her knees. "Master, I beg you... please save... Ye Tianling."

Lin Yuchan’s heart sank. "So it really was that little bastard who ruined your innocence!"

Ye Yueling’s pretty face paled. She lowered her head without a word, but immediately kowtowed three times.

Lin Yuchan asked, "Have you fallen in love with him? Or is this just an emotional hurdle you can’t overcome?"

Ye Yueling’s voice was choked with emotion. "I... I don’t know. I hate him. I want to eat his flesh and sleep on his hide. But... I also don’t want him to die just like that. I don’t know... I..."

Lin Yuchan said, "Don’t trouble yourself over it. That Ye Tianling is perfectly safe. News just came from the Myriad Swords Sect; Ye Tianling has been accepted by them, taken in as a True Disciple by the Sect Master, Wan Jianyun. So, with this news out, the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer, Ye Cangqian, Jin Xietian, and the others will all withdraw their bounties. They’ll give the Myriad Swords Sect face and stop making trouble for Ye Tianling.

Therefore, that Ye Tianling is out of danger."

Upon hearing this, the complex emotions on Ye Yueling’s face vanished completely, replaced by an expression of pure relief.

Lin Yuchan said worriedly, "The Myriad Swords Sect is the rival of our Cyan Moon Sword Sect. Our Sect now has two new geniuses: you, Ye Yueling, and the disciple my junior sister Qingxuan just recruited, Ye Yuemei. But given the current situation... are we just doing the Myriad Swords Sect’s work for them?"

Ye Yueling froze, then said in a firm voice, "Master, I will never betray the Cyan Moon Sword Sect! I... I just didn’t want him to have such an easy death! I want revenge. I want him to kneel before me, apologize, and admit he was wrong!"

Lin Yuchan smiled. "Even though the Myriad Swords Sect took him in, he’ll never amount to anything. His Soul was crushed to pieces, and his Dantian and Qi Sea Pillar are gone. He’s truly and utterly crippled. Even if the Myriad Swords Sect has a terrifyingly deep foundation and manages to restore his shattered Soul, he will never be able to form a Sword Soul again.

I’ve already learned all about his previous exploits. I truly can’t imagine how such a lecher, such an arrogant, defiant, condescending idiot, could make Ye Yuemei so besotted with him, and also leave you so utterly distraught."

Ye Yueling fell silent. After a moment, her eyes cleared considerably. "Master, my earlier turmoil was for two reasons. First, I thought I was pregnant with his child. Combined with the fact that his father adopted me and he himself used to treat me very well... because of all that, I was agonizing over whether to keep the child and whether I should tell him about it.

Second, after learning that he was being targeted with a bounty by the Sect, I was debating whether to ask you to intervene.

These two issues left me restless, unable to eat or sleep.

But in truth, since I’m not pregnant, I have no deeper entanglement with him. The first issue resolves itself.

The second issue arose from the first, so without the pregnancy, that concern is gone as well.

Besides, I was ultimately just feeling indignant and resentful. Now that I know he won’t be dying anytime soon, and that he’ll never achieve anything great again—that he’s doomed to a life of mediocrity—I have no regrets."

Hearing this, Lin Yuchan seemed to have an epiphany, a look of sudden understanding dawning on her.

Lin Yuchan reached out, helped Ye Yueling to her feet, and said with satisfaction, "It’s good that this knot in your heart has been untied. So, in the future, if you meet him again, what will you do?"
