Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 183: Master Is Still the Same Master
’Master has gotten even stronger!’
Duan Qianji was utterly shocked, but also extremely happy.
This level of strength completely exceeded Duan Qianji’s understanding.
He could no longer determine what terrifying Realm his Master, Duan Jiutian, had reached. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was that the current problem could be solved.
"Master, this is what happened..."
Duan Qianji held nothing back, recounting every last detail of how he had captured Ye Fengyang to seize his Talent Bloodline, as well as the life-and-death battle between Ye Tianling and Ye Cangqian.
Duan Jiutian did not respond immediately.
Duan Qianji waited patiently.
After a full half hour, Duan Jiutian’s thunderous voice, just as before, finally sounded.
The voice seemed to be muttering to itself, yet also seemed to be explaining something to Duan Qianji.
"Taotie Divine Blood, the Celestial Forbidden Talent... has it appeared in the world again? This will be an age of chaos, but also a brand new golden age."
’Master, Disciple... how should I face the threat of the Cyan Dragon Emperor? And how can my disciple, Ye Cangqian, make a full recovery?’
Duan Jiutian said, "As for the Dragon Emperor’s threat, I will help you resolve it. He won’t bother you again. The matter with Ye Fengyang ends here. As for Ye Cangqian, the blood of the Taotie lives for slaughter and thrives by Devouring creation. It is indeed terrifying. Unfortunately, he was half-crippled in this fight, losing a significant opportunity."
Hearing this, Duan Qianji felt a surge of doubt and uncertainty. ’Ye Cangqian’s Life Chart is practically blessed by Celestial Mandate, yet he was nearly crippled? Then what kind of Life Chart does this Ye Tianling have?’
Duan Jiutian said indifferently, "This was merely a one-sided tribulation and tempering for Ye Cangqian; it has nothing to do with that Ye Tianling. In the half hour just now, I performed an Inference on the Life Charts of Ye Tianling and his father. His father, Ye Fengyang, is merely an independent Clone of Long Fengyang. He will eventually face Silent Extinction. Although he might stir up some trouble, it will amount to nothing. There’s no need to worry about him.
"As for Ye Tianling, his Life Chart is dim and obscure, and his Qi Fortune is hazy and indistinct. This is a sign of someone with no future prospects. He will most likely perish on his path of Cultivation. There is no need to pay him any mind.
"The one you truly need to pay attention to is Ye Cangqian.
"Though he is nearly half-crippled, his Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Taotie Bloodline has been activated. Next, I will send him to the Land of Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss to cultivate the path of ’Elemental Magnetic Soul Cutting’. This way, his half-crippled Talent can instead be the first step in rising from the ashes. This should also be considered a ’reversal’ in his Life Chart and a part of his destiny.
"A Life Chart like this... you’d be hard-pressed to find another in this world."
Duan Jiutian’s voice grew a little softer.
After he finished speaking those last few sentences, Duan Qianji noticed that the figure of Ye Cangqian, lying beside him, had turned into a bloody light and was gradually dissipating.
Duan Jiutian had taken Ye Cangqian away.
Duan Qianji let out a sigh of relief. He actually wanted to say that Ye Tianling was definitely not as simple as his Master thought, but he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Saying it would mean he was questioning his Master’s judgment, doubting his Master’s Ability.
’Since Master has judged it so, he must be right! That Ye Tianling is so arrogant, he’ll definitely come to a bad end. He’s bound to die a miserable death!’
Duan Qianji could only force himself to think this way.
He waited for a good while longer, but heard no further Soul transmission from his Master, Duan Jiutian. He could only kowtow in respect and reverently depart.
...
"Great Demon, was it my sister who taught you the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique? How can a low-grade, mixed-blood Dragon Soul like yours use such a pure Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique? Tell me, okay?"
Long Tianmo shook Ye Tianling’s arm, her tone almost a coquettish plea.
This little girl would truly stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
As Ye Tianling gradually came to understand Long Tianmo’s personality, he actually found himself quite fond of her. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Although Long Tianmo never said it, her actions and her gaze betrayed hints of concern, which moved Ye Tianling quite a bit.
Since Long Tianyu was willing to send Long Tianmo over, Ye Tianling naturally trusted her completely.
"How about you call me ’good brother’ and let me hear it? Or do you look down on my mixed bloodline and refuse to acknowledge me as your brother?"
Ye Tianling said, feigning heartbreak.
"Uh—it’s just a title, why take it so seriously? You should be focusing on your Cultivation, setting a grand goal for yourself, and then working tirelessly towards it."
Long Tianmo said, trying to deflect.
"I do have a grand goal, but first I need a small goal. And one of my small goals is to earn the approval of my dear little sister, Princess Tianmo, and hear her call me ’good brother’ in a soft and sweet voice."
Ye Tianling said with a grin.
Long Tianmo fidgeted, looking rather embarrassed.
"What’s in it for me?"
After hesitating for a long moment, Long Tianmo blinked her eyes and looked at Ye Tianling with anticipation.
"Hm, as your brother, how about I teach you the ’Miraculous Hundred Sons Diagram’, a skill of Astrology and Divination and Qimen Dunjia?"
Ye Tianling grit his teeth and said, pretending it was a painful sacrifice.
"What’s that?"
Long Tianmo was extremely curious. Her big, innocent eyes sparkled, glistening with utter anticipation.
"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Qimen Dunjia techniques, astrology and constellations, Nine Palace Mathematics... For example: the principle of the Nine Palaces is based on the divine tortoise. Two and four are the shoulders, six and eight are the feet, three is on the left and seven on the right, nine is on the head and one is under the tail, with five in the center. Think about it, isn’t that fascinating?"
Ye Tianling clasped his hands behind his back, adopting the air of a grandmaster.
Beside Ye Tianling, Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan both staggered at the same time, nearly falling to the ground.
"AHEM—"
The two of them coughed, choking on their own breath.
Que Xinyan’s fat, dark face flushed beet red.
And Wan Xuegui’s rather handsome face was also crimson as blood, his expression a picture of disbelief.
’He’s running a scam again.’
’Poor Saintess Tianmo is about to board a pirate ship.’
’That damn Hundred Sons Diagram last time... even now, this Lord Gui shudders just thinking about it. My Talent nearly exploded from trying to figure it out.’
’It’s such a rip-off. Master is still the same old Master, but I’m afraid Saintess Tianmo won’t be that pure and adorable Little Fairy Saintess Tianmo for much longer.’
’Let’s just look away. We can’t afford to offend Saintess Tianmo, and as for Master... if we offend him, he’ll probably scam us out of our pants and maybe even seal us in a latrine pit...’
Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan exchanged a look, their eyes filled with alarm and uncertainty. The two of them clearly had a tacit understanding.
"Wow—it’s real! That’s so interesting! Why is it like that? What’s the reason?"
Long Tianmo was instantly captivated, completely engrossed.
’The knowledge systems from Huaxia, like Qimen Dunjia and Astrology and Divination, are truly magnificent, magical, and incredibly useful. I’ve captured another young maiden’s heart. Awesome.’
Ye Tianling sighed in his heart, and at the same time, chuckled and said, "Why? Go on, say it. Once you say it, you’ll know why."
"Okay, okay, Brother! Good Brother! Brother Qing—uh, no, I mean dear brother! Brother Tian, Brother Ling, quickly tell your adorable little sister Tianmo!"
Long Tianmo’s ’shamelessness’ was clearly a skill she had learned from Ye Tianling’s own True Inheritor, as she instantly abandoned her previous ’resolve’ and called out in an incredibly sweet voice.
The two words "Brother Qing" had barely left her lips when Ye Tianling nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood and froze in shock. Thankfully, Long Tianmo immediately corrected herself.
