Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 53: Something to Brag About for a Lifetime

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Something to Brag About for a Lifetime

Ye Tianling desperately wanted to show off his unparalleled talent and make their jaws drop, but all he could do was stare helplessly.

Moreover, his Dragon Soul was a Mutated Dragon Soul—a mutated Sword Soul!

It was as if they were from two different worlds, rendering it completely useless for now.

’I must have overlooked something important!’

’What did I overlook? My Soul... I feel stronger than ever before. It’s definitely not weak, so how can it be unable to return to my body?’

’What... is wrong?’

Ye Tianling sank deep into thought.

While he was thinking, Wan Jianyun’s figure disappeared for a moment before returning.

Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling had arrived.

Soon, the figures of Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling appeared in the forbidden land’s secret chamber.

Lin Yuchan’s gaze fell upon Ye Tianling.

The first time Ye Tianling saw Lin Yuchan, he was stunned by her breathtaking beauty.

He was equally stunned by Ye Yueling’s beauty.

’Not only has Ye Yueling become exceptionally beautiful, but there’s even a trace of Dragon Blood aura in her veins? And her Talent has become this good?’

’Although that trace of Dragon Blood aura was less than a ten-thousandth of his own, it was still a genuine Dragon Blood aura.’

"Brother Jianyun, I’ve brought the Elixir. As for the information Jin Zhifu passed on, it was all true. However, Yueling has already stepped out of the shadows. She has now awakened her ancient Celestial Spirit bloodline, unlocked the Celestial Spirit Sword Body, and can even comprehend some of the fortunes within the Blood Moon! As long as she continues to meditate on the Blood Moon’s changes, she will one day possess the Ability to face the Celestial Tribulation!"

"When you face your Tribulation in the future, she can be of assistance."

As Lin Yuchan spoke, she gave Ye Tianling a complicated look.

Wan Jianyun was taken aback for a moment, then said, "As for the Tribulation, forget it. I will rely on my own strength to overcome it. Regarding the feud between Ye Tianling and Ye Yueling, let them handle it themselves. It’s not our place to interfere."

Lin Yuchan nodded lightly. "Very well."

At this moment, Ye Yueling’s beautiful eyes turned to Ye Tianling.

Her complicated gaze fell upon Ye Tianling.

She was calmer and more composed than she had expected to be.

There was even an indescribable sense of satisfaction welling up inside her—she didn’t know why she felt such schadenfreude.

"Ye Tianling, you were so arrogant. Look at you now, getting your just deserts, right? You have Talent. If you had just explained things to me, and if I had believed you, how could we have had those conflicts back then? If there were no conflicts, how could all those later things have happened?"

Ye Yueling muttered to herself, as if speaking to Ye Tianling.

Que Xinyan wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks but was stopped by Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue.

Ye Yueling sneered and said, "You’d definitely say, ’You bitch, if I explained it to you, would you even believe me?’ But if you had sincerely explained, would I really not have believed you? I knew the clansmen treated you badly, but you could have told me secretly, discussed it with me in private, and we could have escaped the family together. With your great Talent, you surely could have found a Major Sect to take you in."

"And me? Wasn’t I good to you at first? Why did I change? It was because you were worthless and incompetent, yet you turned around and blamed me for being unkind? I admit my heart changed, but I was young. What’s wrong with liking a handsome and talented man? Can’t you even tell the difference between a crush and real feelings? Don’t you know how insecure it feels to be born into the Ye Race? But did you have any desire to become strong? You didn’t!"

"But Ye Tianyun did! In many ways, he was arrogant, domineering, and overbearing, but he could protect me! And you? What were you doing back then?"

"That time, you disappeared for a whole night, and I went looking for you first thing in the morning. If I wasn’t worried about you, would I have gone looking for you?"

"But how did you treat me? You straight up called me a slut and tore my clothes to humiliate me!"

Ye Yueling continued speaking softly, "After you ruined my innocence, you should have known I was still pure, right? If I were truly a slut, I would have let that Ye Tianyun have his way with me long ago! Later, when you became so commanding, I thought, ’Now *that’s* a real man, that’s true charm.’ I wanted to make up with you, but you were too heartless towards me—so ruthless it made my heart turn cold. So I decided I didn’t care if you lived or died."

"What was I in the Ye Race? Just another ant! I lived in constant fear, with no backing, and anyone could bully me! Do you have any idea how humbly I had to live?"

As she spoke, Ye Yueling reached out and stroked Ye Tianling’s blood-soaked, mangled face. "What’s past is past. The fact that I can say all this means I’ve truly let it go. Now that you’ve survived this, don’t be so arrogant anymore, you understand? Arrogance isn’t the problem; the problem is you don’t have the capital to be arrogant."

"Look at you now. You can’t even get up? You’ve become this weak? Your physical body is too feeble; there’s really no hope for you. So, when you recover, just be a normal person, live a peaceful and honest life. When the time comes, I’ll even help you find a nice girl. You can settle down and live out your days."

"I don’t hate you either, because there’s no need. You had such great Talent, but you brought this upon yourself, ending up in this state, unable to ever form a Sword Soul again. As for me, I will unlock my Celestial Spirit Sword Body and possess the talent of a Double Pillar Nine Qi Festival. I know... some of this is because of you. But I will become a peerless expert! Then, I’ll make you regret it, make you look up to me! It’ll also give you something to brag about in your old age—’The Yueling Fairy? That broad is nothing, I, Ye Tianling, once humiliated her.’"

"That will probably be the glory of your lifetime, the one thing you can boast about forever!"

After saying all this with great composure, Ye Yueling took a few steps back and stood quietly beside Lin Yuchan.

At that moment, the moods of Wan Jianyun and the others were also exceptionally complicated.

To be able to state her true feelings so candidly, it was clear that Ye Yueling was ready to move on from Ye Tianling and forget they ever knew each other.

And at this moment, what were the thoughts of Ye Tianling, who was in his Dragon Soul state?

Ye Tianling was thrilled.

Why thrilled? Because he had just figured out the real root of his problem.

As for what Ye Yueling had said—Ye Tianling scoffed at it.

’Glory?’

’My glory will be ’battling’ you every few days until you’re begging to ’die’!’

’You’ve been blessed by the Supreme Yang Power of my Dragon Soul Divine Blood, and now you want to just forget all about me?’

’In your dreams!’

As Ye Tianling thought this, he began to release his Dragon Soul and split his Dragon Qi.

That’s right—release and split.

Why do this?

Because his physical body was too weak!

His physical body was only at the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm and had not yet stepped into the Sword Heart Realm.

But his Soul?

His Soul had already stepped into the Sword Soul Realm!

Moreover, it was at the Peak of Sword Soul First Heaven Realm at the very least!

Because right now, Ye Tianling’s Dragon Soul was incredibly complete, exceptionally powerful, and existed independently, able to roam around his body.

It was like the old saying, "Deities watch from three feet above." His Soul had completely transformed into a Dragon Soul.

This was a good thing!

This point alone completely shattered the ’verdict’ from Wan Jianyun and the others that he, Ye Tianling, would be unable to form a Sword Soul!

But it was also a bad thing.

Because his physical body was too weak—so weak that it couldn’t withstand such a powerful Unparalleled Dragon Soul Sword Spirit!

Furthermore, every time his Dragon Soul Sword Spirit tried to merge with his body, it would try to either charge in or completely permeate it, causing the physical body to immediately show signs of shattering.

It was like trying to forcibly compress an entire ocean and pour it into a single cup. Was that even possible?

So, what was the solution?

Actually, it was quite simple: just take a cup’s worth of water from the ocean and pour it into the cup.

And that was exactly what Ye Tianling was doing now.

He activated the "Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique," successfully gaining control of his own Soul. Then, he separated a sliver of Dragon Soul Aura, compressed it again and again, and gradually guided it toward the spot between his eyebrows.
