Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 117: Creation Ice Blood Lotus

As the Little Dragon Girl’s voice faded, Ye Tianling noticed that the shape of the Ninety-nine-story Celestial Ladder Treasure Tower between his eyebrows had changed somewhat.

It had transformed into a blood-colored Treasure Tower, solemn and majestic, standing tall and imposing in the space between his eyebrows.

That was the region of his soul.

Yet the Treasure Tower now occupied this space.

Ye Tianling sensed that ever since the Treasure Tower’s ’true name’ had manifested, it had truly begun to reveal its profound heritage, becoming mysterious, ancient, and immense.

’Space-Time Soul-locking Tower... What a domineering name. It contains Dragon Blood from ninety-nine different layers. It holds an Unparalleled Divine Artifact like the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword. And it even has Unparalleled Techniques that surpass the Divine Level, like the True Void Celestial Forbidden Technique, the Soul-Slaying Dao, and the Nirvana Rebirth Skill. This is so exciting!

In comparison, the Sword Dao inheritance from the Dugu Sword Demon, and the memories of Huaxia Civilization that came with it, are just extras. They must be a bonus gift.

In this Sword Dao World, comprehending the Sword Dao is extremely important... The memory inheritance from Dugu Qiubai should shorten my comprehension time, giving me a high starting point and deep attainment in the Sword Dao right from the get-go.

If... even Divine Level Techniques are considered trash, then what level are the techniques I’m cultivating?

This... I’ve really hit the jackpot!’

Ye Tianling’s heart was surging with excitement.

He had long felt that this inherited opportunity was incredibly heaven-defying, but now that he truly understood a mere one-hundred-millionth of it, he knew it was more than just heaven-defying—it was absolutely peerless and invincible!

Based on the Little Dragon Girl’s tone, casually mentioning things beyond the divine or Holy Spirits, Ye Tianling truly felt that her attitude, her sheer class, was on another level.

Ye Tianling calmed himself and seriously reflected on the Little Dragon Girl’s circumstances, and a wave of emotion washed over him.

In that instant, he sensed the ’Little Dragon Girl’s’ familial affection for the previous ’Opportunity Seekers’—an intense feeling, like the love for one’s own kin.

That warm emotion struck him to the core.

At the same time, Ye Tianling also realized that the Little Dragon Girl was truly ’indulgent’ and ’lenient’ with him. It could almost be said that she would grant him anything he asked for.

Even if the most ’evil’ thoughts arose in his heart, the Little Dragon Girl wouldn’t get angry. Instead, she constantly encouraged, protected, and guarded him.

In truth, Ye Tianling was deeply moved. At the same time, because of the ’Little Dragon Girl’s’ condition, Ye Tianling knew that she was indeed in a severely ’damaged’ state.

She probably needed a massive amount of energy to recover, and where would that energy come from? Obviously, it would require him, Ye Tianling, to grow stronger and stronger.

’Without you, there would be no me of today, nor of the future. You completed me, you made me who I am. Even if I am just your Puppet, I swear that I will bring you glory for choosing me, Ye Tianling, as your successor!’

Ye Tianling made a firm and solemn vow in his heart.

...

Ye Tianling’s gaze remained fixed on the area of the Blood-Colored Ice Lake.

In the Ice Lake area, the flower of the Creation Ice Blood Lotus gradually withered, and then a lotus seed pod emerged.

The lotus seed pod grew rapidly. From an initially finger-sized, completely transparent state, it grew to the size of an egg in the blink of an eye.

Then, its growth paused.

The magma in the Ice Lake area began to boil again, and a large number of bubbles appeared out of thin air.

After these bubbles floated up, they rose into the air and were gradually absorbed by the egg-sized lotus seed pod.

The lotus seed pod’s absorption speed became faster and faster, and its aura grew increasingly fiery.

After absorbing a million bubbles, the lotus seed pod began to grow again.

In an instant, the lotus seed pod grew to the size of a fist.

This process stopped once more.

A large amount of magma began to flow, forming clusters of liquid flame that were absorbed by the lotus seed pod.

After about ten more minutes of absorption, all the magma in the Blood-Colored Ice Lake area vanished, leaving behind a lake of blood-colored water.

The water was perfectly clear, showing a transparent blood-red hue, and it seemed possible to see deep shadows within it.

Once the water became clear, the lotus seed pod began to grow again.

HSSS—

HSSS—

HSSS—

This time as it grew, a large amount of black smoke spewed out.

Each time the black smoke spewed out, the entire world would grow a few shades darker.

At the same time, a Lotus Seed would grow inside the pod.

The black smoke spewed out nine times.

After the ninth time, the lotus seed pod was still only the size of a fist, but it had turned from transparent to blood-red.

The Lotus Seeds had also turned blood-red and began to emit an extremely alluring fragrance.

Just one breath of this fragrance felt as if it could induce a Soul Emergence and make one’s Sword Soul leave the body—an extremely pleasurable sensation!

The moment this fragrance appeared, all abnormalities affecting his body vanished completely.

All the restraints on his body were completely nullified!

Ye Tianling was instantly knocked out of his state of Concealment as the fragrance cleansed all the various ’effects’ from his body, causing him to become visible.

He was startled and immediately concealed himself again.

Wan Xuegui still hadn’t noticed. His eyes were locked dead onto the lotus seed pod, showing extreme excitement mixed with a hint of wariness.

Fang Qingxue, however, saw Ye Tianling almost instantly. The pupils in her beautiful eyes contracted slightly, and they held a deep sense of shock.

Apparently, the moment Ye Tianling’s true appearance was revealed, she had recognized him—after all, there were probably few Cultivators in the entire Azure Flame Mansion region who didn’t recognize Ye Tianling’s famous face.

’I’ve been discovered. I need to come up with a plan... I’ve got it... That’s what I’ll do.’

As Ye Tianling was pondering, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, and a brilliant idea formed in his mind.

Ye Tianling remained in Concealment. Since Fang Qingxue made no move, he also decided not to interfere for the time being—however, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to just sit back and reap the fisherman’s profit now.

After manifesting, the fragrance of the Lotus Seeds immediately retracted on its own. The seeds solidified, and not another wisp of their aroma escaped.

At this point, the Lotus Seeds were fully mature.

Suddenly, huge ripples appeared in the clear Blood-Colored Ice Lake.

At that moment, Fang Qingxue was closest to the Blood-Colored Ice Lake. Her figure shot out almost instantly, rushing toward the Creation Ice Blood Lotus.

"You dare!"

Wan Xuegui shouted and immediately gave chase.

However, there was not a trace of urgency on his face. Instead, his eyes revealed the cold smile of someone whose scheme was succeeding.

A cold smile also appeared on Fang Qingxue’s pretty face. Clearly, she was also plotting against Wan Xuegui.

SWOOSH—

After getting close to the Creation Ice Blood Lotus, Fang Qingxue slashed her sword directly at it.

This sword strike, containing Sword Spirit Power, was exceptionally tyrannical.

The very air seemed to twist, and the cold glint of the blade was terrifying.

ROAR—

Suddenly, a giant snake, a full hundred meters long, shot out of the Blood-Colored Ice Lake. It opened its cavernous, bloody maw and sprayed a foul, stinking breath toward Fang Qingxue.

At the same time, after spraying out the foul breath, a blood-colored Beast Pill shot from its mouth like a blazing sun, ruthlessly flying toward Fang Qingxue.

SWOOSH—

At this moment, Wan Xuegui finally let out a loud laugh and rushed toward the Creation Ice Blood Lotus. "Fang Qingxue," he said, "did you think I didn’t know you were only pretending to be trapped by me, planning to turn my own scheme against me and seize my treasure, the Creation Ice Blood Lotus?

To achieve Refinement of the Creation Ice Blood Lotus, I need a young woman with an ice-attribute physique for Yin Yang Balance, so you deliberately let me capture you.

That way, you could not only seize the Creation Ice Blood Lotus for yourself, but you could also turn around and kill me."

Wan Xuegui said with a laugh as he fiercely slashed his sword toward the Creation Ice Blood Lotus.
