Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 56: Imparting the Life and Death Talisman

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Imparting the Life and Death Talisman

Cyan Moon Sword Sect, Thousand Tribulations Sword Peak.

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer paced back and forth for a moment with his hands clasped behind his back.

Beside him, Ye Cangqian stood quietly. His handsome, somewhat sinister face held a cold expression.

"Master, Wan Jianyun’s actions are truly despicable!"

Ye Cangqian’s expression turned grim, his effeminate voice laced with killing intent.

"The Myriad Swords Sect’s foundation is powerful, after all. For now, it wouldn’t be wise for us to move against them directly. We were already on opposing sides with them, so it’s no surprise that he’s using this ’Ye Tianling’ matter to openly defy us.

However, this is a blatant provocation, an act that tramples on our dignity. How could I, the Thousand Tribulations Wanderer, let this go? Publicly, we’ll rescind the bounty for Ye Tianling’s head and grant the Myriad Swords Sect this bit of face. But, heheh, now that we know Ye Tianling is in the Myriad Swords Sect, things have become much simpler."

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer’s voice was frigid, containing a vicious aura.

Ye Cangqian seemed somewhat relieved and said, "Master, back when I fought Ye Tianling, he was crushed by the power of the Fiery Flame Sword Soul, yet he displayed an incredible ’resilience.’ This ’resilience’ formed a kind of resistance, allowing him to survive being overwhelmed by someone of such a terrifyingly higher Realm.

Moreover, every bone in his body was shattered and his Soul was crushed to pieces, yet he didn’t die. It’s truly bizarre.

If your disciple’s judgment is correct, then Ye Tianling has definitely awakened the Fiery Flame Sword Body Talent. It’s even possible that this Talent has mutated!"

Upon hearing this, Thousand Tribulations Wanderer’s eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you saying he’s an even more suitable research subject for the ’Fiery Sun Sword Body’ than the ’Ye Fengyang’ of the past?"

Ye Cangqian said, "I do indeed believe so."

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer said, "If that’s what you believe, then we absolutely must capture this Ye Tianling. Your Master now possesses four of the inherited Ancient Scrolls from the *Bloodthirsty Soul Refining Technique*. While these four scrolls are incomplete, when put together they form an incredibly profound and Mysterious Skill Method for comprehending Bloodline Talents.

For now, let’s allow Ye Tianling to grow for a while. Once he lets his guard down, we will find an opportunity to strike."

Ye Cangqian said, "Since Master has already decided, your disciple will naturally obey."

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer nodded slightly. "Rest assured. Since I, your master, was able to grant you an Acquired Fiery Sun Sword Body, I will definitely capture both Ye Fengyang and Ye Tianling in the future. I will help you exchange your blood, allowing you to possess the true Fiery Sun Blood of the Fiery Sun Sword Body and advance even further."

Ye Cangqian bowed deeply. "Your disciple thanks you, Master."

"There’s no need. Our bond is like that of a father and son. The greater your achievements, the more pleased and proud I become. By the way, I told you to get close to Ouyang Ruoxue. How is that progressing?"

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer inquired about the other matter.

Ye Cangqian’s expression became slightly unnatural. "After that damn rat escaped, Yun Zhiruo interfered and provoked her, which agitated her into going directly into Seclusion.

I’m afraid she won’t be coming out any time soon. They’ve scheduled a life-and-death duel at the Sword Dao Major Sect gathering three years from now..."

Hearing this, Thousand Tribulations Wanderer’s expression turned gloomy and ugly.

’How strange,’ Ye Cangqian thought. ’My Master rarely looks so grim over anything!’

’Could it be that this Ouyang Ruoxue is hiding some monumental secret?’

As Ye Cangqian pondered, he heard Thousand Tribulations Wanderer snort coldly. "Three years from now? She’ll have to be alive in three years for that to matter. Since Ouyang Ruoxue is in Seclusion, we’ll set this matter aside for now. Also, with all the recent developments, the affair with Ye Tianling has caused quite a stir. Keep an eye out for any information on Ye Fengyang. If you find anything, don’t alert him. Notify me immediately."

Ye Cangqian immediately replied respectfully, "Your disciple has been paying close attention to this matter. The moment there’s any news, I will report it to you, Master, without delay."

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer nodded in satisfaction. "Mm. And how are your insights into the Sword Spirit Realm coming along?"

A hint of confidence appeared on Ye Cangqian’s face. "I’m almost there. Just one step away."

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer said, "Very good. That Ye Yuemei wants to challenge you, and you’ve accepted. But if the opportunity arises, just kill her. That girl’s willpower is strong and her Talent is astonishing. Don’t give her the chance to mature."

Ye Cangqian was startled, finding it hard to understand.

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer continued, "If you’re going to act, don’t do it within the Sect. Wait for a training mission or some other opportunity, then have someone else do it secretly. Afterward, eliminate her completely, root and stem, to prevent any future trouble. That way, it won’t be traced back to you."

Ye Cangqian nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Master, what about Elder Lin Yuchan’s disciple, Ye Yueling? Should we kill her too?"

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer immediately replied, "Don’t touch that one. Furthermore, Lin Yuchan’s background is astounding. It would be best if you didn’t get any ideas about her. Of course, if you have the skill to successfully pursue and win over Ye Yueling, that would be even better."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangqian’s expression immediately became quite colorful.

Thousand Tribulations Wanderer said, "Is it because you despise her for being defiled by that Ye Tianling, for no longer being pure? She’s just a slut. It’s fine to just play with her; it doesn’t matter. The key is to use her as a stepping stone to get closer to Lin Yuchan. Lin Yuchan most likely comes from an ancient Sect Holy Land. Her presence here, much like yours in our Cyan Moon Sword Sect, is merely a form of training. Of course, this is just your Master’s speculation based on her behavior; it may not be the truth.

How you should proceed is for you to decide."

Ye Cangqian bowed. "Yes, Master."

...

「Myriad Swords Sect, on the summit of Celestial Language Sword Peak.」

Ye Tianling looked at Que Xinyan, a helpless expression on his face.

"Can you fucking be any more stupid? You still don’t get it?"

Que Xinyan shook his head in dismay, looking quite dejected.

"Listen closely. I’ll teach you one more time. If you still can’t learn it, you can just crawl as far away from me as possible!"

Ye Tianling frowned and scolded.

"Yes, yes, Master! You’re just so handsome! Even the way you frown when you’re angry is devastatingly cool!"

Que Xinyan immediately began bowing and scraping, fawning with the utmost reverence.

"The specific Cultivation Technique for the *Little Faceless Technique* and the *Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm* is...

Both of these Cultivation Techniques contain extremely mysterious Abilities. You must practice them diligently. Within the *Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm* lies an incredibly heaven-defying Ability called the ’Life and Death Talisman.’ It’s an outrageously powerful method for controlling others!"

Ye Tianling explained seriously, his expression grave.

Que Xinyan immediately listened with immense respect.

"These two are the core Cultivation Techniques I am passing on to you. Without my permission, you are not to teach them to anyone. Understand?"

Ye Tianling added with a stern warning.

Que Xinyan knelt down solemnly. "Master, rest assured! Your disciple will absolutely never pass this on without your permission!"

As he spoke, Que Xinyan even made a vow directly with his Soul.

Ye Tianling was very pleased by this.

Que Xinyan was clearly well-versed in the ways of the world. The moment he heard the core principles of the *Little Faceless Technique*, his beady eyes nearly popped out of his head. One could only imagine his excitement.

With his experience and knowledge, he naturally knew just how heaven-defying and miraculous a Cultivation Technique like this was!

Just as Ye Tianling had said, its Level was likely unimaginably high.

Que Xinyan didn’t find it strange that such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique would be difficult to successfully cultivate, but his stirred-up heart was, naturally, finding it very difficult to calm down.

A Divine Skill Manual was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t comprehend it and was unable to cultivate it. The torment of this was easy to imagine.

"How about this: I’ll use my Sword Intent and condense Sword Essence Power to guide your True Qi. You just need to memorize the route, and then you can cultivate like that from now on."

Ye Tianling pondered for a moment, figuring that getting this rat to understand concepts like the Twelve Main Meridians, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the Ren and Du Meridians would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

So, he decided to directly demonstrate the operational methods and energy pathways of the *Little Faceless Technique* and the *Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm* within Que Xinyan’s meridians several times, forcing him to memorize them.

He could then learn the techniques by rote first, without needing to understand them.

As for the core information of the *Disguise Technique* and *Nine Palace Mathematics*, although Que Xinyan couldn’t fully comprehend it, he had memorized it completely.

Ye Tianling teaching him everything he knew moved Que Xinyan so much that he wanted to pledge his life in return.

Of course, Ye Tianling had no idea about this thought of his.

If he had known, Ye Tianling wouldn’t have minded letting him get a taste of the Ice Profound Iron Rod.
