Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 218: Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden

Ye Tianling nodded silently. He immediately activated his Soul Talent, using it to examine Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling.

’Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden: A Holy Dao comprehended by Long Fengyang from the Hidden Dragon Shackles. He used it to ascend to the Half-step Sword Saint Realm, shattering the limits of the Sword Ancestor Nine Paths Perfection Realm. Those afflicted by this Forbidden Technique will gradually become his Puppets and lose their will. To remove it, one must use the Ten Thousand Souls Bone and Soul Devouring Sand in a Refinement process lasting eighty-one days.’ 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Since he already knew they were under some kind of curse, Ye Tianling was able to target his Soul Talent, instantly learning the full details of Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling’s condition.

After learning this, Ye Tianling’s expression immediately turned cold and grim.

"Young Master, I didn’t deceive you. It’s not that I truly wanted to leave you."

Seeing his expression turn colder, Lin Yuchan’s heart skipped a beat. She grew anxious and insecure, terrified that Ye Tianling would misunderstand her.

Ye Yueling’s heart also trembled. A look of desperation appeared in her eyes, just as afraid that Ye Tianling would wrongly blame them again.

A pang of pain shot through Ye Tianling’s heart as he watched them. ’This is all my fault. My past actions must have hurt them deeply. Why else would they be so anxious and insecure?’

His expression immediately softened. "I know about the restriction on you," he said gently. "It’s the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden, derived from the Hidden Dragon Shackles. It can be removed by gathering the Ten Thousand Souls Bone and Soul Devouring Sand and performing a Refinement.

For now, if Long Fengyang claims he can remove the restriction, you can pretend to believe him, but don’t actually trust him. He can’t break it! And even if he could, he wouldn’t!"

Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little better.

Lin Yuchan nodded lightly. "I never believed him for a second. I originally just wanted Yueling to return to the Dragon Race to be nurtured. I never thought it would lead to all this, and that she’d be harmed because of it."

"Master, I’ve never blamed you. I’m grateful for your teachings. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you."

Ye Yueling immediately added.

Lin Yuchan shook her head. "I know you don’t blame me. It’s just... I’m deeply disappointed in the Cyan Dragon Race."

As she spoke, her incredibly gentle gaze fell upon Ye Tianling’s face. "Young Master, you must understand, both the Ten Thousand Souls Bone and the Soul Devouring Sand are thought to be impossible to find in this world. They are items even more mysterious than a Divine Child’s Divine Blood, or even Emperor’s Blood.

"These two resources can resolve any injury, whether it’s a corrupted bloodline or a shattered Talent. With them, even Long Fengyang could rise again. The Tianyu Saintess and Tianmo Saintess could also make a complete recovery."

"So, when you say these two items can break the restriction, Young Master, I believe you completely. But finding them will be next to impossible."

"And as for refining them together... even an Artifact Refining Master would need hundreds of years to succeed."

"Long Fengyang’s lifespan was nearly at its end. But then he suddenly grasped some of the Profound Meaning within the Hidden Dragon Shackles and comprehended a Holy Dao Ability through this bizarre method. It’s the only reason he’s still alive, shining with renewed brilliance."

"That’s why this restrictive curse is practically incurable."

"So, Young Master... before, when I wanted to give my all to you, I was trying to use the last of my strength to empower you. Then, when you couldn’t handle my power anymore, I would have had Yueling join you in Yin Yang Harmony. That way, you could have achieved Harmonization Dao together, transformed together, and perhaps even broken through to the Void Realm Five Transformations in a single leap."

"With your Ability, once you enter the Void Realm, you would truly shatter the greatest taboo... That was our best chance of victory."

"But you were too resolute, Young Master. And you’re so much stronger than I ever imagined. You repeatedly broke the Cultivation Technique I used to let you absorb my power, and you even reversed it to gift me power instead... Yuchan... I am nothing more than a handmaiden to the Qingzhuo Saintess, someone chosen to be your personal attendant, your Guardian!"

"And I failed to even do my duty. I tried to kill you several times... Even though I didn’t know who you were, it was still an act of gross insubordination. A crime punishable by death..."

Lin Yuchan sighed softly, finally voicing all the thoughts she had kept in her heart.

In truth, Ye Tianling already knew all of this.

But hearing it again from her own lips still moved him deeply.

Ye Yueling, however, hadn’t known any of this. Learning it now, she was so moved that she immediately burst into tears.

"Master, I’m so sorry. I suspected you were using me... I was wrong. I’m so sorry."

Ye Yueling choked on her words, her voice filled with immense guilt as she apologized.

"Don’t apologize. We’re not master and disciple anymore; we’re sisters now. I’ll presume to be the elder one, if that’s alright."

Lin Yuchan smiled gently, her gaze turning back to Ye Tianling. "Young Master, regardless of everything, thank you for your affection and tenderness."

"Sister."

Ye Yueling’s voice was choked with emotion, but her calling Lin Yuchan ’sister’ was utterly sincere.

She could see the longing in Lin Yuchan’s eyes—the desire to be her sister, not her master.

This was because Lin Yuchan had always seen herself as Ye Tianling’s servant and Guardian. Since Ye Yueling was Ye Tianling’s woman, Lin Yuchan felt she had no right to be her Master.

Ye Yueling saw this conviction and this longing. So, though her heart ached, she agreed.

Ye Tianling nodded, his gaze growing more confident. "I know where to find the Ten Thousand Souls Bone and Soul Devouring Sand, and getting them won’t be too difficult. I’ll discuss it with my brother, Que De."

"In addition, while I can’t remove the curse right now, the fact that you can both absorb the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon Dao Trace Energy proves you can cultivate a certain Killing Dao."

"I will pass this Killing Dao on to you now. Memorize it well."

"This Killing Dao also originates from the mysterious legacy of the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon. The Little Fox learned it as well, which is why her cultivation has progressed so quickly and her strength has grown so terrifyingly."

The look in Ye Tianling’s eyes was resolute.

But neither Ye Yueling nor Lin Yuchan showed any enthusiasm.

"There’s no need, Young Master. This curse will turn us into his Puppets. If that happens, your powerful Cultivation Technique will fall right into Long Fengyang’s hands. He was confident in letting us come here. I’m certain his plan was to use this curse—and us—to trick you into revealing your Cultivation Technique!

The man is cunning and a master of schemes. You must be careful."

"That’s right, Tianling. Regarding your battle with Long Fengyang, my... my sister and I heard the analysis from Lord Que De and Elder Wan Jimie. They both agree that you’ve mastered the Blood Moon Technique, and that’s why this Blood-Colored Crescent Secret Realm manifested. If Lord Que De could deduce that, there’s no way Long Fengyang couldn’t. We don’t want to be used as his tools to harm you for his own benefit."

"Don’t worry about it. There are some legacies that he couldn’t learn even if you explained them to him in perfect detail. Now be good and learn. We don’t have much time."

Ye Tianling said seriously after a moment of consideration.

"There’s really no need, Young Master. We’re moved that you trust us so much, but we... we don’t trust ourselves."

Lin Yuchan grew even more worried.

Having had Long Fengyang personally use the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden on her, she had felt its power attack her Soul directly. She knew better than anyone just how terrifying it was.

Besides, if they weren’t in a unique, isolated place like this Secret Realm, Lin Yuchan would never have dared to have Ye Yueling engage in such a wild Yin Yang Harmony with Ye Tianling.
