Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 182: Battle Soul Ancestral Land, Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Battle Soul Ancestral Land, Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss

"Er, after we severed our master-disciple relationship, we lost touch. I can’t contact her. But don’t worry, Master. I’ve already modified the Mark connecting us. If you encounter her within a certain area, you’ll get a Sensing. You’ll know it’s her then."

Wan Xuegui immediately replied.

"Oh, and when the Little Fox transforms into her true form, is she this cute?"

Ye Tianling asked again.

Wan Xuegui’s expression became rather colorful. He said awkwardly, "That... I wouldn’t know. You’ll have to experience that for yourself, Master."

"You’re such an idiot. A woman from the Jade Fox Race will only transform into her ’true form’ in front of her partner. You’re even having lewd thoughts about your disciple’s disciple. You really ’live up to your reputation’!"

Just then, Long Tianmo, having calmed down the Snow Mink, started targeting Ye Tianling again.

"I’m your older brother. Is that any way to talk to your older brother? Come on, be good. Let me hear you say ’big brother’ first."

Ye Tianling completely ignored what Long Tianmo had said.

"Keep dreaming. Maybe in your next life."

Long Tianmo pouted, her face a mask of haughty pride.

"So, Tianmo, you’re willing to wait for your big brother until the next life? You love me that much? Big brother is so touched."

"...A thick-skinned dragon is truly invincible."

"Thank you for the compliment, little sister. Not only is your big brother thick-skinned, but I’m also handsome. Haven’t you noticed?"

"...What kind of person have I run into? I can’t believe Sister Tianyu can put up with a shameless scoundrel like you."

「Thousand Tribulations Sword Peak.」

PFFT—

After Duan Qianji returned, his face was quite pale. He couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood and finally spat it out.

Then, a ray of bloody light shot out from between his eyebrows.

The bloody light gradually expanded, and soon, Ye Cangqian’s figure manifested within it, becoming fully visible.

However, Ye Cangqian was still in a deep slumber, his face stained with blood.

But this blood wasn’t scattered randomly. Instead, it formed into lines and strands, combining into a web-like pattern that resembled meridians. It looked as if his face were crawling with blood-red earthworms, giving him an extremely ferocious appearance.

’A Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Talent? A Fierce Soul of the Ancient Divine Beast Taotie? This origin... could it be a mutated bloodline from the Ye Family’s Taotie ancestor’s lineage? If so, that would be truly heaven-defying.’

Duan Qianji muttered to himself.

Immediately after, he looked at Ye Cangqian, his gaze extremely complicated.

It held traces of greed, of murderous intent, and also of reluctance.

In the end, Duan Qianji did not act against Ye Cangqian. He did not kill him to seize his Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Talent and Taotie Divine Blood.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to. Rather, after considering how Ye Cangqian had escaped death several times, he worried that Ye Cangqian’s Life Chart was too unyielding. He feared something would go wrong at the critical moment of seizure, leading to failure and trapping him instead.

’Since I’ve already invested so much in him, I might as well invest a little more. After all, he has been very loyal to me, which is quite good.’

Duan Qianji pondered for a long time. In the end, his greedy heart wavered, and he actually took out his treasured top-grade Spirit Medicine and began to feed it to Ye Cangqian.

’This Ye Tianling... Ye Fengyang... and the manifestation of his Blood Killing Heaven...’

’Ye Fengyang is clearly Long Fengyang of the Dragon Race.’

’As for Ye Tianling, I’m afraid he has Divine Blood in his body. Long Tianmo nonchalantly saved him—she’s most likely after his Divine Blood, isn’t she?’

’But I really can’t get involved in this matter anymore. I also can’t let Long Fengyang know this secret. Otherwise, I most likely won’t survive.’

’Who would have thought that the so-called ’Ye Fengyang’ we were plotting against was actually a Clone of the Supreme Dragon Emperor Saint Master of the Cyan Dragon Lineage?’

’Once word of this gets out, the Dragon Emperor will surely kill me just to save face.’

’This has already happened. How to handle the aftermath is beyond my capabilities... Since it involves Divine Blood, I have no choice but to ask ’Master’ for instructions.’

Duan Qianji thought to himself while helping Ye Cangqian with the Refinement of the Elixirs to restore his depleted Talent and Abilities.

However, after feeding Ye Cangqian a full five Celestial Tier Top Grade Creation Pills without seeing any improvement, Duan Qianji finally snapped back to reality.

’Why isn’t he getting better?’

Duan Qianji couldn’t help but be horrified.

When he looked at Ye Cangqian again, his face was still ferocious, but the ’earthworms’ on his face had grown even thicker!

Streams of a desolate, ancient aura lay in Hibernation within Ye Cangqian’s body, occasionally leaking out a wisp.

Even this single wisp of leaked aura was enough to fill Duan Qianji’s heart with dread.

However, Ye Cangqian’s own aura remained quite weak. The Talents in his body were badly damaged, and many of the meridians in his physical body had been shattered.

Although his Dantian wasn’t destroyed, it was already covered in cracks.

The Creation Pills provided a massive amount of Energy, but it was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water—completely ineffective.

’He was beaten this badly? Just how ferocious is that Ye Tianling?!’

After carefully examining Ye Cangqian’s condition again, Duan Qianji couldn’t help but gasp.

Ye Cangqian’s condition was even worse than he had imagined. After consuming five Top Grade Celestial Tier Creation Pills, which Duan Qianji had even helped him refine and absorb, there was still no effect whatsoever!

This was the result of his body being completely drained dry!

’This won’t do. If this continues, Ye Cangqian’s foundation will be depleted and he will die. His Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Talent, being too powerful, will instead actively separate from him and shatter. I can’t handle this. I have to get my Master involved.’

Duan Qianji had already been thinking of finding his Master, but he hadn’t dared to disturb him casually.

Now, seeing Ye Cangqian’s condition, he no longer hesitated. He immediately set off for his Master’s Cultivation Ancestral Land—the Battle Soul Ancestral Land.

...

「Battle Soul Ancestral Land.」

Beneath the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Peak, at the bottom of a ten-thousand-zhang cliff, deep within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

The silent Blood River lay motionless.

Deep within the Blood River, an ancient and emaciated old man sat quietly in a meditative posture.

Streams of bloody light, like Flames, emanated from his entire body.

Rays of orderly Energy, like Yuan Magnetic forces, circled around his body, making him appear as terrifying as a peerless Divine Spirit.

Although he was short and stooped, with an emaciated frame, his aura and majesty were so immense that they naturally made one’s heart tremble.

"Master, your Disciple, Duan Qianji, has an important matter to report."

Duan Qianji kowtowed in worship toward the terrifying abyss where his Master, Duan Jiutian, resided.

He stood at the foot of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Peak, nearly a hundred li away from the terrifying abyss.

He kowtowed lightly and spoke his plea while kneeling, his voice not loud at all.

BZZZZ—

After he kowtowed three times and spoke with sincere intent, the earth began to hum and vibrate.

The entire Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Peak began to tremble violently.

"Speak."

An incomparably ancient voice, as if it had pierced through heaven and earth, penetrated the starry sky, and descended from a primordial era.

It was like the unending roar of thunder, yet it only vibrated and resounded within Duan Qianji’s mind.
