Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 111: Do You Acknowledge Me as Your Brother?
Long Tianyu’s voice was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.
Just hearing it gave Ye Tianling a heart-refreshing sensation.
This was a truly peerless young woman. Though she looked to be only thirteen or fourteen, she was immensely powerful, defying the very heavens.
’If this is what a true peerless genius of this Sword Dao World is like...’
The thought crossed Ye Tianling’s mind.
His mood grew heavier, and his arrogance subsided slightly.
"Tianyu Saintess, you know about ’Ye Tianling’?"
Ye Tianling asked after a moment of silence.
Long Tianyu replied, "I’ve been paying attention to you ever since your Dragon Soul Aura manifested last time. I then gathered some information on you, and now I’m almost certain that your father, Ye Fengyang, is the same Long Fengyang from our Dragon Race whose Dragon Soul was annihilated and Dragon Sinews were ripped out."
Hearing this, Ye Tianling’s heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Do you have the Soul Talent?"
Long Tianyu replied, "No, that’s a Talent unique to the Hell Demon Dragon clan—of course, ordinary Cultivators also have a chance of possessing it."
A sudden realization dawned on Ye Tianling. He nodded slightly and said, "Then... doesn’t that make me your older brother, Long Tianling? Little Sister Tianyu?"
Long Tianyu sighed softly. "I originally planned to find you and bring you back to the Cyan Dragon Holy Land to become the next successor to the Saint Master—the new Cyan Dragon Saint Son, or even a Divine Child. But after seeing your condition, I can no longer do that. I had my suspicions before, but to protect you from unnecessary danger, I chose not to be direct about certain matters."
Ye Tianling said pensively, "Is it related to the ’Soul Talent’?"
Long Tianyu nodded slightly, tacitly confirming it.
Ye Tianling asked, "So, do you acknowledge me as your brother? Are you sure I’m your brother? Are we full-blooded siblings?"
Long Tianyu shook her head. "I acknowledge you, and yet I cannot. And what does it matter if we are full-blooded siblings or not?"
Ye Tianling said, "You’re so beautiful. If we’re not full-blooded siblings, I could marry you as my Dao companion in the future."
A peculiar expression flickered across Long Tianyu’s pretty face. Despite her calm disposition, Ye Tianling’s words seemed to leave her at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother, you really are..."
Long Tianyu dropped her icy facade. It was as if Ye Tianling’s single sentence had made her a bit more lively, giving her the youthful air befitting a girl of thirteen or fourteen.
"You finally called me ’Brother’."
Ye Tianling couldn’t help but smile.
But the smile tugged at his injuries, and he began to cough uncontrollably as a stream of blood poured from the corner of his mouth.
Long Tianyu walked over to Ye Tianling and gently pushed her hand forward.
A surge of Cyan Dragon Power, rippling like green water, flowed into Ye Tianling’s body.
The depleted Energy within Ye Tianling’s body was immediately replenished.
His dormant Dragon Soul, the lost connection to his Dragon Blood Celestial Ladder Treasure Tower, and everything else began to stir to life.
Long Tianyu’s face paled slightly. Above her head, a cyan Dragon Soul Illusion flowed for a moment before dissipating.
She withdrew her hand, and the look she gave Ye Tianling held a greater sense of intimacy.
"Brother, can you release your Dragon Soul for me to see? What color is it? Blood-red, cyan, black, or another color?"
Glistening beads of sweat had appeared on Long Tianyu’s forehead, but her voice was still gentle.
Despite her terrifyingly immense power, she put on no airs and felt an instinctive closeness to Ye Tianling.
"Mm, it should be gold... golden-red."
Ye Tianling said after a moment’s thought.
Healed by Long Tianyu’s Cyan Dragon Soul Energy, Ye Tianling instantly recovered from more than fifty percent of his Dragon Soul depletion, and his whole being immediately began to glow with vitality.
Even his skin, which had been parched from the exhaustion of his Origin, and his hair, which had been like withered grass, became Spiritual and jade-like once more.
Ye Tianling gathered his Dragon Blood, focused on his Sword Soul, and released it.
Currently, Ye Tianling’s Sword Soul was the Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul, which was normally gold in color.
But after its Fusion with the Samadhi True Fire and the enhancement from his Dragon Soul Divine Blood, it had turned golden-red.
’Of course,’ Ye Tianling thought, ’I can actually control this color and change it as I see fit. I can make it gold, red, blood-red, orange, purple, violet-gold, or even black. I can control it freely.’
But he didn’t say any of this for the time being.
When the Samadhi True Fire Celestial Dragon Sword Soul appeared, Long Tianyu couldn’t help but stare, dumbfounded.
She just stared with her large, incredibly Spiritual eyes, looking utterly adorable in her daze.
This cute and extremely beautiful little sister once again stirred some improper thoughts in Ye Tianling.
’I’m such a beast,’ Ye Tianling cursed himself internally, ’constantly having such inappropriate fantasies. I’m simply inhuman.’
"Gold... blood-red, purple, and red... four colors. Is this a Dragon Soul mutation that gathers the strengths of all the major Dragon Races?"
Long Tianyu murmured, only coming back to her senses after a long moment.
"Brother."
Long Tianyu called out softly.
"Mm... Little Sister Tianyu, what is it?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Ye Tianling asked.
"Brother, your Dragon Soul is very strong. At the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm, your Battle Power can already ’Break Three.’ You can be considered a ’Master Level’ genius."
Long Tianyu said.
"Master Level genius? Breaking Three in Battle Power?"
Ye Tianling looked confused.
Long Tianyu nodded and explained, "Master Level is for Battle Power within the third layer. The benchmark is a Sword Dao Cultivator who has transformed at the Great Perfection Level. Generally, someone at Lin Qingyu’s level of strength is considered a standard expert. True Profound Level covers Battle Power from the fourth to the sixth layer, and True Spirit Level is for the seventh to eighth layer."
Understanding dawned on Ye Tianling. So this was how true geniuses were classified.
’In that case, people like Ye Cangqian aren’t necessarily true peerless geniuses.’
’Or rather, they are still far from even setting foot on the path of a true peerless genius.’
Ye Tianling then asked, "What about Battle Power that approaches the Ninth Layer, or even breaks through it?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Long Tianyu’s face. "That is the Nine Forbidden. Breaking the Nine Forbidden makes one a ’God’—a ’True Divine Level’ genius, earning the title and honorific of ’Divine Child’ or ’Goddess.’ Any Divine Child or Goddess possesses Qi Fortune and the Power of Destiny blessed by the heavens themselves. They cannot be killed or destroyed. They can rise from desperation and experience a Baptism of Fire."
Ye Tianling was moved and began to take these geniuses who could earn the title of ’God’ seriously.
Long Tianyu continued, "Below the Divine Son and Divine Lady are the Saint Son and Saintess. The criteria for them is much simpler: a Battle Power between six and eight is the Ability of a Saint Son or Saintess. They are also very difficult to kill. At critical moments, a worldly opportunity will often descend, and they will almost always turn the tables from a desperate situation.
"That’s why Granny Qinglian, despite being much stronger than me, doesn’t dare to move against me. Even if I just stood there and let her try to kill me, some opportunity would descend and cause her efforts to fail at the last moment."
Ye Tianling couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.
’Saint Sons and Saintesses are that heaven-defying?’
’But... what about the people he knew, like Ye Cangqian, Ouyang Ruoxue, and Yun Zhiruo? What did that make them?’
Ye Tianling’s confusion didn’t last long.
Long Tianyu added, "Your enemy, ’Ye Cangqian,’ is called ’Emperor Cangqian.’ In reality, his Battle Power is within three. That’s just a one-sided ’honorific’ from a minor place. It’s a laughable, low-class, and crude title.
"In truth, only after stepping into the Sword Void Realm does one have the right to even discuss ’Breaking X Battle Power.’ After the Sword Spirit undergoes Void Transformation, one reaches the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm. Only at the Realm of Nine Transformations does one qualify for the ’Ninth Layer Battle Power’ classifications...
"Speaking of Battle Power, let me continue. Battle Power from four to six qualifies one as a ’Half-Saint Son and Saintess.’ These Half-Saint Sons and Saintesses mostly exist within the major Ancient Lands and Holy Land Sects, and most of them possess powerful bloodline inheritances..."
Ye Tianling nodded, carefully committing everything Long Tianyu said to memory.
Ye Tianling knew Long Tianyu wouldn’t be saying all this for no reason.
And this information was truly important.
