Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 184: Now You Know Big Brother Is Amazing, Right?
"Speaking of which, for Qimen Dunjia, Astrology and Divination, we have to start with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the Celestial Phenomena and Constellations..."
After a moment of thought, Ye Tianling didn’t hold back, beginning to explain his understanding of the subject in detail.
Ye Tianling had actually already considered that this system of knowledge would be of immense benefit to Long Tianmo.
Long Tianmo loved studying Arrays, so learning this would certainly do her no harm.
Furthermore, his two apprentices, Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan, had already grasped some of it, but their knowledge wasn’t comprehensive. This time, Ye Tianling would take the opportunity to help them consolidate and expand their understanding.
This system of knowledge offered tremendous auxiliary effects for this World’s Arrays.
And whether it was Long Tianmo, Que Xinyan, or Wan Xuegui, Ye Tianling had a mysterious confidence that they would never harm him.
The Space-Time Soul-locking Tower between Ye Tianling’s brows had already unlocked ten levels. The inheritances and other aspects he had obtained were far more powerful and comprehensive, and thus the knowledge he commanded was naturally broader and more profound.
Thus, at the start of this lecture, even Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan were apprehensive, a mix of love and hate, awe and fear swirling within them. But after listening for just a few moments, all three were profoundly shaken. Their expressions grew solemn, and they began to listen with intense focus.
A full hour later, Ye Tianling had finally finished explaining most of the fundamental knowledge.
As for Long Tianmo and the other two, they were completely engrossed, unable to pull themselves away.
The knowledge system of Qimen Dunjia and celestial astrology was vast and profound, deep and unfathomable.
After being introduced to it, Long Tianmo was truly awestruck, completely and utterly stunned.
"Brother, what... what kind of inheritance is this? It’s so deep, so profound!"
Nearly half an hour more passed before Long Tianmo finally emerged from her contemplation, the shock in her heart still difficult to quell.
This time, her cry of "Brother" was exceptionally sincere and heartfelt.
Her watery, Spiritual eyes were exceptionally innocent and adorable, clear and bright.
Her large eyes, as if capable of speech, were filled with utter longing and hope as she looked at Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling was defeated by those beautiful and Spiritual eyes. It was as if he would be an incredibly cruel Great Demon if he didn’t answer.
Though, he was, in fact, a Great Demon.
"Ahem, well, it’s not really an inheritance. When I was a kid, wasn’t I a good-for-nothing... I just messed around, let my mind wander, and ended up creating a pretty useful set of theories."
"Heh heh, as long as it’s helpful to you all."
Ye Tianling clasped his hands behind his back and began to put on an act.
’The inheritance of Huaxia is with me anyway, heh heh. It’s not a big deal to say I created it. My apologies to all the Elders of Huaxia.’
Ye Tianling grumbled internally, but his expression was one of utmost righteousness.
"This... Is that true? That’s utterly incredible."
Long Tianmo found it hard to believe. Ye Tianling’s words had truly stunned her.
"Alas, a Divine Child is a Divine Child. My actions are naturally hard for ordinary people to comprehend. In truth, beneath my crude and vulgar exterior, I have the heart of a genius—a great and refined, profound and magnanimous heart. You all just never noticed it before. Now you know how amazing I am, right?"
Ye Tianling began to show off in front of his little sister, putting on an impressive act.
It had to be said, being looked at by his little sister Long Tianmo with such an adoring gaze was making him feel a bit giddy.
His sense of accomplishment was through the roof.
"Is that so? Why do I feel like you’ve just obtained some kind of ancient memory inheritance, Brother? How about this: try to make up some more profound knowledge, tailored just for me. If it can contain the resonance and effects of Dao Sound, then I’ll really believe you."
Long Tianmo pursed her lips, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Ye Tianling.
Her clear eyes exuded a Spiritual and adorable aura that was impossible to refuse.
"That? What’s so hard about that!"
Ye Tianling said defiantly.
He began to think.
’The Dao that can be told?’
’I already told Wan Xuegui about that one. It’s not as effective anymore, and it doesn’t fit the occasion.’
Ye Tianling clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, striking a pose of profound composure.
Then, he occasionally turned to study Long Tianmo.
A moment later, Ye Tianling’s heart leaped with joy. He had recalled a famous piece from Dugu Qiubai’s memories, "Luoshen Fu." A confident light appeared on his face.
Ye Tianling was very handsome. Sunny and good-looking, tall and slender, with an air of Transcendence mixed with a defiant, untamed spirit, he truly had the bearing of a peerless genius.
At this moment, his eyes were sharp and deep as a starry sky, filled with a wise light that truly made Long Tianmo’s heart flutter, and her affection for him grew immensely.
’This brother of mine really does have some skill; he’s not bad at all. But no matter what he says, I have to knock him down a peg, take the wind out of his sails. I can’t let him keep being so arrogant! If he provokes a Sword Ancestor, he’ll be beyond saving. If I don’t suppress his arrogance a little, how am I supposed to ’train’ him?’
Long Tianmo had already made up her mind.
She had no idea that Ye Tianling had already provoked a Sword Ancestor—in fact, he had provoked two of them!
He had taken the chastity of one Sword Ancestor’s disciple, Ouyang Ruoxue, and even engaged in Yin Yang Harmony with her for more than ten days!
As for the other Sword Ancestor, his Direct Lineage descendant, Wan Xuegui, had been scammed out of everything he owned and was even suppressed in a latrine pit before.
If she knew, one could only wonder what she would think.
"Let’s talk about you, little sister Tianmo. The first time I saw you, my eyes lit up, and my heart... ahem, my heart was utterly captivated."
As Ye Tianling spoke, Long Tianmo’s beautiful eyes brightened. Her gaze seemed to say, ’Hmph, at least you’re not blind. You know that I, the Saintess and Princess, am beautiful and cute.’
Ye Tianling paced back and forth and, with a refined air, began to recite softly: "Her movement, like a startled swan in flight; her grace, a dragon gliding through the water. Radiant as the autumn chrysanthemum, lush as the pine in spring.
At times, she is like the moon veiled by light clouds; at others, like snow drifting in a returning wind. Viewed from afar, she shines like the sun rising from morning mists. Observed up close, she glows like a lotus breaking through green waves..."
"Her shoulders appear as if carved, her waist as if bound by pure silk. Her elegant neck and fine nape reveal her snowy skin. No fragrant oils are added, no leaden powder is worn. Her cloud-like coiffure is tall and majestic, her long brows gracefully curved. Her vermilion lips are bright without, her pearly teeth pristine within. Her clear eyes glance with skill, her sweet dimples accenting her cheeks. Her bearing is magnificent and her beauty peerless, her posture serene and her body at ease...
She is draped in brilliant silk gauze, and wears ear pendants of jade. She is adorned with golden and kingfisher-feather hairpins, and pearls that illuminate her body. On her feet are patterned slippers for distant roaming, and she trails a light skirt of misty silk. A subtle fragrance of secluded orchids surrounds her, as she paces hesitantly at the mountain’s corner."
As Ye Tianling recited, he felt a little awkward, because no Dao Sound or its resonant aura appeared.
’Isn’t this Luoshen Fu? Isn’t it meant to praise a goddess? Why isn’t there any Dao Sound? This makes no sense!’
Ye Tianling muttered to himself while shooting a glare at Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan.
The two of them froze for a second, then immediately understood.
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
"Truly wonderful!"
"Simply amazing!"
"The Dao Sound lingers, echoing for days!"
"It haunts my soul and lingers in my dreams! The Great Dao is as deep as the abyss!"
The two of them chimed in one after another, beginning to lavish him with praise.
’No reaction?’
Seeing no movement from Long Tianmo, Ye Tianling immediately looked over.
At this glance, Ye Tianling was also stunned.
Long Tianmo’s pretty face was slightly flushed, and her bright eyes and pearly teeth all held a hint of happiness.
It seemed this ’praise’ was blessed by some kind of divine Dao Sound, giving it an otherworldly resonance.
Apparently, it wasn’t that the Luoshen Fu failed to produce a Manifestation of Dao Marks. Rather, the Dao Marks had manifested upon Long Tianmo, bestowing upon her a blessing of Divinity.
She was bathed in faint rays of rosy light, a soft Dao Sound suffusing the air around her. It highlighted her petite yet graceful figure, making her seem like a hibiscus emerging from the water, or a Fairy transcending the mortal world.
’This girl... she’s already so captivating at such a young age. What will she be like when she’s grown?’
Ye Tianling’s gaze swept over Long Tianmo’s body, and he sighed with emotion.
But at the same time, a certain inexpressible feeling of fondness grew deep in his heart.
This was his little sister—his adorable, clever, and pride-and-joy Little Witch of a sister.
An inexplicable warmth, like a clear spring, flowed into the depths of Ye Tianling’s heart, as if smoothing out the twisted parts of his character that had formed from the many injustices he had suffered.
’I have such a cute little sister. Whether it’s for her, for myself, or for the other family members who truly care about me, I must work harder to become stronger. I can’t slack off for even a moment!’
Suddenly, a more powerful fighting spirit and resolve ignited in Ye Tianling’s heart.
It was as if his life, which he had previously found meaningless, had suddenly taken on a new sense of purpose.
