Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 112: Are You Pitying Me?

Ye Tianling didn’t quite agree with Long Tianyu’s judgment of his Talent.

His Battle Power was Breaking Three? ’It’s obviously much more than that...’

However, his bloodline was currently depleted, which had likely affected Long Tianyu’s assessment.

Ye Tianling didn’t bother to explain in detail.

"So, Brother, if you encounter such beings in the future, you should avoid them. Also, try your best not to manifest your Dragon Soul Aura. It will attract fatal danger to you."

Long Tianyu warned him earnestly.

Ye Tianling suddenly understood. ’So that was Long Tianyu’s goal.’

Ye Tianling nodded. "Don’t worry, little sister. I’ll be careful."

Long Tianyu said, "This time, I can’t take you back to the Cyan Dragon Holy Land. Your bloodline... isn’t pure. If you go back, you’ll be... doomed beyond recovery. The Holy Land isn’t stable right now, either. But don’t worry, Brother. Things will get better soon. Once I complete my transformation from the Sword Tribulation Ninth Refining and secure my position among the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Cyan Dragon Holy Land, I will come back and bring you to our clan."

Ye Tianling replied, "It’s the thought that counts, little sister. I’m not in a hurry."

Long Tianyu said, "Brother, although your bloodline is mixed—aside from the Jade Water Cyan Dragon bloodline, you also possess the Bloodline Talents of the Hell Demon Dragon and the Golden Battle Dragon... This will make your Cultivation path much more difficult. It’s already extremely hard to cultivate a single one of these bloodlines, and now you have three... Brother, you must learn to let go of the Dragon Race’s arrogance and patiently focus your efforts. You also need to choose a single Talent line to specialize in."

Ye Tianling fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

’Specialize?’

’That’s absolutely impossible. He knew the origin of his Dragon Soul better than anyone—it was the Huaxia Dragon Soul. What did that have to do with the Dragon Race of this World?’

But he wouldn’t say any of this out loud.

It was precisely because he held the heritage of the entire Huaxia Civilization that he was so confident, so brazenly arrogant in his youth.

His arrogance wasn’t necessarily true arrogance; at its core, it was simply confidence in his Huaxia Dragon Soul.

Yet in Long Tianyu’s eyes, all of this was just the ’arrogance’ of the Dragon Race.

Long Tianyu found this behavior completely natural and expected.

Long Tianyu spoke again, "The Four Great Ancient Dragon Clans are: the Ice Sword Dragon—Jade Water Cyan Dragon; the Hell Demon Dragon—Bloodthirsty Black Dragon; the Golden Battle Dragon—Tribulation Fire Golden Dragon; and the Elemental Magnetic Celestial Dragon—Silent Extinction Purple Dragon."

Ye Tianling said, "I see. So, what’s the reason I possess the bloodlines of three great Dragon Clans? My father... what exactly is his story? Tell me."

Long Tianyu nodded lightly. "Since I can’t take you back to the Cyan Dragon Holy Land, I will naturally tell you everything. But... you must not resent Father."

Ye Tianling said, "I won’t."

Long Tianyu said, "Your father... My father, Long Fengyang, was a peerless genius of the Dragon Race and the first ’Divine Child’ whose Battle Power broke the Nine Forbidden. So, after he stepped into the Sword Ancestor Realm at the age of twenty, he inherited the position of Cyan Dragon Saint Master.

"He refined a Void Body—a being of the Sword Void Realm. Actually, any Cultivator can create a Void Body, but the cost is so immense that ninety-nine percent of Cultivators won’t do it. Some geniuses, however, will. Father created one and used it to research Bloodline Power, intending to combine some of the abilities of the Four Great Dragon Clans.

"He exhausted his efforts to strip the Talent Bloodline from a Golden Battle Dragon genius and fused it with half of a Jade Water Cyan Dragon bloodline to create a Void Body.

"This Void Body was created perfectly, but it developed an independent will.

"He is ’Ye Fengyang’—the Void Body clone of ’Long Fengyang’.

"As part of the plan, he used his own charm to seduce the foremost genius and Saintess of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, ’Long Qingzhuo’, intending to father a Son of God who possessed three great bloodlines.

"However, this plan was discovered and ruined by the Elemental Magnetic Celestial Dragon Clan.

"Father’s Void Body had its Talent stripped, its Dragon Soul and Dragon Sinew torn out, and was suppressed in the Ten Thousand Dragons Demon Cave.

"Father himself fell into a deep slumber.

"Long Qingzhuo was also grievously injured and disappeared.

"One day, Father’s Void Body suddenly vanished. Around that time, in Qingyang Town of Canglan City, a baby appeared—a baby named ’Ye Fengyang’.

"It’s just that no one could connect this matter to the ’Dragon Race’. No one ever imagined that an adult Void Body would transform into a ’baby’.

"Twenty years later, Father awakened from his slumber, his strength greatly diminished. He had also completely lost the connection with his Void Body.

"His Void Body, ’Ye Fengyang’, had grown for twenty years and become a completely independent person.

"To recover from his injuries, stabilize the internal turmoil in the Cyan Dragon Holy Land caused by his slumber, and to leave behind the bloodline legacy of a ’Son of God’, Father married the foremost Saintess of the Jade Water Dragon Clan, Long Qingyue.

"Long Qingyue is my mother... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Unfortunately, I do not possess the Talent of a ’Goddess’. At my peak, my Battle Power can only reach Breaking Eight.

"Therefore, Father suspected that his independent Void Body must have left behind an heir, and that this heir had inherited the ’Divinity’. Through Inference using Bloodline Power, he calculated that the child’s name was ’Tianling’. Other than that, he found nothing.

"Now, I have been searching everywhere, sensing for a Dragon Soul Aura, and I finally found you. After learning about your past, I’m certain that ’Ye Fengyang’ must be Father’s Void Body. And you are my older brother, Long Tianling. But... you don’t have the Talent of a ’Divine Child’. Your Innate Deficiency and your three-part Dragon Soul talent have become your greatest hindrances."

Long Tianyu finished explaining the cause and effect of the whole affair.

Since she was able to say all this, it was clear she had already investigated the matter thoroughly.

If ’Ye Tianling’ had been a peerless genius, bringing him back to the Cyan Dragon Holy Land would have been a simple matter.

But in his current state, with his mixed ’bloodline’ and lacking the Talent of a ’Divine Child’, bringing him back would likely mean he wouldn’t be accepted by the clan.

Understanding dawned on Ye Tianling. He finally knew the truth of the matter.

"So, you’re *that* kind of little sister to me."

Ye Tianling gave a wry smile.

Speaking of which, he was an ’illegitimate son’, the child of a crippled Void Body.

And Long Tianyu was the one with the orthodox bloodline, a descendant of the Direct Lineage.

Still, the fact that Long Tianyu ’acknowledged’ him as her older brother brought Ye Tianling a measure of comfort.

"Yes, I’m *that* kind of little sister to you."

Long Tianyu smiled sweetly. Her smile was sincere and cute, bright and beautiful.

"Then my Void Body father... is he all right now?"

Ye Tianling asked, taking a deep breath.

"I don’t know. There’s no doubt your mother is Long Qingzhuo, and there has been no news of her either. The Four Great Dragon Clans are still searching for related information, but they’ve found nothing. Also, the only reason I could find out about this was because you released your Dragon Soul Aura. If you hadn’t, even if I knew about Ye Fengyang, I would never have thought he had any connection to my father’s Void Body.

"Although, in terms of appearance, you are indeed very similar. But after a Cultivator undergoes transformations and reaches a state of Perfection in various aspects, their looks will become outstandingly handsome and otherworldly. Generally, the differences aren’t that great—so appearance isn’t a reliable reference."

Long Tianyu explained.

Ye Tianling understood. "I see," he said.

Long Tianyu continued, "Right now, if your identity is exposed, you’ll become a hot commodity. Countless people will try to seize your Dragon Soul and strip your Dragon Sinew, because you aren’t protected by any of the Four Great Dragon Clans. The Ancient Dragon Clan may be powerful, but a clan member who is isolated will meet a very tragic end."

Ye Tianling chuckled, mocking himself. "I know. With a bloodline like mine, if I went back, I’d be considered a ’half-breed’ and a disgrace to the Four Great Dragon Clans, right? Besides, for Father, the Cyan Dragon Saint Master, to have something like his ’Void Body becoming independent’ happen... he must have lost all face.

"And since the Divine Child bloodline wasn’t passed down, he probably hates his Void Body to the extreme... If I had the Divine Child’s Talent, it would bring him glory, and he wouldn’t hold anything against me. He would grant me sufficient status and protection.

"But since I don’t, he will surely do everything in his power to capture me, extract my ’Divine Blood Foundation’, and then find a way to transplant it into you, so you can become a Goddess."

Long Tianyu’s eyes dimmed slightly. "Brother, no matter how the world treats you, you are my own brother. I will do everything I can to help you and protect you."

Ye Tianling asked, "Are you pitying me?"
