Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 52: I’m Very Happy to See Him So Wretched

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: I’m Very Happy to See Him So Wretched

’It’s unlikely we’ll ever meet again. Even if we did, we’d just be strangers. Seeing him fall so low, the anger in my heart has vanished, and so has the hate. If I’m not pregnant, then this inner turmoil is gone. I can finally open my heart completely, throw myself into my Cultivation, and compete with Ye Yuemei. As for him... we can simply forget each other and move on.’

Ye Yueling’s gaze gradually grew resolute.

Having resolved this final inner conflict and severed this last tie, her Martial Arts Heart grew even more resolute and powerful.

"Forgetting each other and moving on is a fine choice, and a very wise one. Don’t worry, it’s not just you. In the end, even Ye Yuemei will walk this path and give up on him. He can’t step into the Sword Soul Realm, so he won’t live past two hundred years. But you and Ye Yuemei can condense a Sword Soul with ease. After you turn two hundred, you’ll both still be as you are now—as beautiful as fairies, youthful and vibrant.

But he will be old and decrepit, reduced to a pile of dry bones.

You will continue to live on, advancing in your Cultivation.

But his very bones will weather and decay with time.

Eventually, he will be forgotten, relegated to a tiny corner of your memory. In the end, nothing of him will remain." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lin Yuchan seemed to be recalling many things. She sighed softly and spoke of a cruel aspect of Cultivation—the mercilessness of Time.

As Ye Yueling considered this, her heart felt more at peace, more relieved.

Her mental state also grew more ethereal, attaining a quality of Void Spirit.

"Senior Sister Yuchan, congratulations to you."

At this moment, a pleasant and melodious voice manifested.

Then, a sword shadow gathered in the Void, quickly coalescing into the figure of a stunningly beautiful Fairy in a purple gauze dress.

"Yueling pays her respects to Elder Xiao."

Ye Yueling bowed in salute.

Xiao Qingxuan nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes landing directly on Lin Yuchan.

Lin Yuchan smiled. "It is I who should be congratulating you, Junior Sister Qingxuan. You’ve taken on a fine Disciple, indeed."

Xiao Qingxuan said, "Unfortunately, she has a bond in her heart. With such a bond, one cannot go far on their path. That’s why I’ve come to find you."

Lin Yuchan gave a bitter smile. "There’s nothing I can do about that. I was even at my wit’s end over Yueling’s situation before, worried to death."

Xiao Qingxuan said, "It’s not about that. I came to ask you for that Celestial Tier Top Grade Creation Pill of yours—I know you still have it."

Lin Yuchan was taken aback. "Are you insane!"

Xiao Qingxuan said, "I greatly underestimated Ye Yuemei’s obsession. She says nothing, cultivates desperately, and is beyond reproach. But the more she’s like this, the more uneasy I feel. To be honest, back then... Ye Fengyang just lacked a bit of Qi Fortune. Otherwise, he might have become even stronger than us!

Back then, he even taught the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer. Look how powerful the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer is now."

Lin Yuchan was silent for a long moment, then said, "The Myriad Swords Sect can’t possibly lack a Top Grade Celestial Tier Creation Pill. Are they unwilling to part with one? Wan Jianyun is an upright man, after all. Since he announced to the world that he’s taking Ye Tianling as a True Disciple, he has openly made an enemy of the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer. With the Myriad Swords Sect’s resources, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. He shouldn’t need to worry about trouble from the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer. But it shouldn’t have reached the point where they need our help, right? Die Xiyue is the number one Alchemy genius. Would she be short on Elixirs?"

Xiao Qingxuan shook her head. "They aren’t short, but... they’ve traded almost all their Celestial Tier Creation Pills for resources or given them as rewards to Disciples. They have a few Top Grade Celestial Tier Creation Pills, but none are as effective as that ’Ancient Pill’ you’re holding."

Lin Yuchan said, "They sent you a message to come and persuade me?"

Xiao Qingxuan said, "Wan Jianyun sent me a message, hoping I would help them for the sake of Daoist Que De’s past assistance, and my old friendship with Ye Fengyang. It’s not that they don’t have Elixirs; they just don’t dare take the risk. Ye Tianling’s life is hanging by a thread. They can’t retrieve his Soul fragments, so they can’t wake him up. If that Creation Pill doesn’t work, it will trigger a backlash, his physical body will completely explode, and his Soul will surely perish.

So now they don’t dare to act rashly."

Lin Yuchan said, "Daoist Que De had so many treasures back then. He plundered the entire Hidden Dragon Ruins; his resources must have been countless, right? How can Que Xinyan have no resources? Not even a single ancient Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pill? What about the Wanlun Ancient Land and the Cang Mountain Sword Pavilion, those sects that swore fealty to Daoist Que De?"

A cold sneer appeared on Xiao Qingxuan’s beautiful face. "Heh, not every Sect dares to make an enemy of the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer. In the end, it’s just that the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer has grasped some of the Blood Moon’s secrets and can help people pass their Tribulations. They aren’t confident about surviving the nine Celestial Tribulations of the Sword Tribulation Ninth Refining Realm, so naturally, they have to go begging the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer. At this point, it’s a blessing they haven’t turned on us."

Hearing this, a complicated look also appeared on Lin Yuchan’s equally stunning face. She sighed. "Ye Fengyang was so proud. Now, grass grows on his grave, and his son has ended up in such a state. It’s tragic, truly lamentable. Let’s deliver this Elixir."

Xiao Qingxuan sighed. "I’ll pass. I don’t particularly like that little brat who looks so much like Ye Fengyang and is just as arrogant."

Lin Yuchan said, "Yueling, come with me. Let’s go see this Ye Tianling."

Ye Yueling was startled for a moment, but then her gaze became very calm. "Alright. Being able to see him so wretched actually puts this Disciple in a very good mood."

Hearing this, Lin Yuchan couldn’t help but smile. "Very good. With that attitude, I can finally be at ease."

...

「Myriad Swords Sect, in a secret chamber in the Forbidden Land beneath the Ten Thousand Swords Main Hall.」

Die Xiyue said with a sigh, her gaze complicated as she looked at Ye Tianling, "Yuchan Fairy has agreed. She’ll be here shortly. With the ancient Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pill, there’s a sixty percent chance of waking Ye Tianling."

Wan Jianyun said, "It’s good that she agreed. Though we’re from rival Sects, their character is quite decent."

Que Xinyan said, "Hmph, maybe they had a soft spot for Ye Fengyang. Now that Ye Fengyang is dead, they want to be cougars and hit on my master."

Although Die Xiyue knew Que Xinyan was just trying to lighten the mood, she still frowned and said, "Dead mouse, can you have some shame? With their pride and arrogance, don’t even think about it. Besides, Lin Yuchan is not coming with good intentions. She’s bringing Ye Yueling with her. What Ye Tianling did has been dug up by everyone now—the fact that he insulted Ye Yueling has been spread far and wide by Jin Zhifu."

Que Xinyan’s face darkened, and his expression suddenly became quite a spectacle.

At this moment, even Ye Tianling’s Dragon Soul couldn’t help but tremble.

’With my pride, I would never accept an Elixir from some ’Lin Yuchan’.’

’I don’t want to see that arrogant, gloating look on Ye Yueling’s face.’

’I’m so powerful, why can’t I wake up? For fuck’s sake! Wake up!’

Ye Tianling was also getting anxious, but he was still completely clueless.

No matter how he tried to enter his physical body, it was as if a strong barrier was preventing his Soul from entering.

If he used force, his physical body would immediately explode!

As for Wan Jianyun and the others’ judgment that he couldn’t condense a Sword Soul, Ye Tianling didn’t believe it for a second.

’Can’t condense a Sword Soul?’

’Isn’t my Dragon Soul right now a Sword Soul?’

’Not only did I condense a Sword Soul ahead of schedule, I also have the complete Ancient Dragon Blood Inheritance and the peerless Emperor’s Qi Sword Body. How could I possibly be a waste of space?’

’It’s just like with Talent. Just because they can’t appraise a Ninety-Ninth Level Talent, it means I have no Talent?’
