Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 236: Taotie Divine Son Long Cangqian

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Taotie Divine Son Long Cangqian

When Long Cangqian appeared, he was escorted by a whole group of the Dragon Race’s Saint Sons and Saintesses, who cleared a path for him.

Waves of Dragon Souls and draconic breath billowed forth, their earth-shattering aura rocking the surroundings.

Dragon Qi permeated the void. The terrifying Dragon’s Might stirred the very clouds, leaving many of the Saint Sons and Saintesses visibly shaken.

Long Cangqian stood tall and proud at the center of the many Dragon Race Saint Sons and Saintesses.

His ancient and terrifying Taotie eyes seemed to pierce through the void, suffused with the Divinity of the Supreme Dao Law. His soul-stealing gaze made one’s heart tremble with cold fear.

"Taotie Divine Son, of heavenly might!"

"A Celestial Forbidden Talent, an Ancient Divine Wonder!"

"Unrivaled since ancient times, supreme in this age!"

The Saint Son and Saintess candidates of the Cyan Dragon Race began to cheer, chanting his praises at the top of their lungs.

Meanwhile, the established Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Cyan Dragon Race were reduced to mere background characters, leading the way for him like attendants.

Such treatment left the Saint Sons and Saintesses from the dozens of Holy Land Sects utterly shocked.

"I never thought that the former Emperor Cangqian, upon his return, would immediately reach the Sword Tribulation Realm! His talent is astonishing, his power transcendent!"

After sensing Long Cangqian’s Realm, many people were shaken, gasping in endless amazement.

"The Dragon Emperor took him as an adopted son, and Jiutian Saint Master Duan Jiutian, the peerless Inheritor of the Vast Purple Qi Dao, accepted him as a disciple. With his Taotie Divine Blood and Desolate Ancient Celestial Forbidden Talent now fully awakened, he must have used a Secret Realm to refine his body and soul, aided by the Dragon Race’s many supreme tripod cauldrons for him to perform Absorption."

"With all that, it’s no wonder he could reach the Sword Tribulation Realm in a single leap, catching up to the cultivation pace of the other Saint Sons and Saintesses."

"For Long Cangqian to rise like this, his Qi Fortune must be truly peerless. There were rumors he was half-crippled. Clearly, that was just nonsense."

"That’s not necessarily the case. I just wonder what that mixed-blood, Ye Tianling, is thinking now."

"Is Ye Tianling here? Why haven’t I seen any sign of him? Back in the Nine Swords Sect’s Cloud Mist Mountain Range, a Saint Child and a True Disciple from a major sect said he’d entered the Celestial Travel Transmission Array to come here, but he hasn’t appeared. Is he hiding?"

"Heh, a country bumpkin like him... after seeing a spectacle like this, would he still dare to be so arrogant? He probably still thinks the Cangqian Divine Son is merely at the Sword Spirit Realm."

The cultivators around Ye Tianling were buzzing with discussion.

His own expression, however, was quite calm, betraying neither joy nor sorrow.

’How are Tianyu and Tianmo? Are they safe?’

Ye Tianling asked the Little Dragon Girl in his mind.

He suppressed the intense killing intent in his heart—if Long Cangqian had already harmed Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo, then this visit would involve far more than a simple massacre!

In his madness, he would stop at nothing to make every single person here regret it for the rest of their lives!

Ye Tianling’s heart was trembling. He was afraid—afraid that Long Cangqian’s rise was the result of performing Absorption on Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo!

"Relax. There have been some changes within the Ancestral Dragon Abyss, but Long Tianyu and Long Tianmo’s conditions are stable; they haven’t been subjected to Absorption—however, I’m afraid that this time, Long Fengyang truly intends to keep you here permanently. If you fall into extreme danger, I will help you break into the Ninth Layer Space-Time Soul-locking Tower ahead of schedule, allowing you to directly access the twentieth layer!"

"This is the trump card you gained from the Refinement of the Secret Realm. I’m telling you this ahead of time!"

"Furthermore, you’ve brought the Devouring of your Demon Heart Sword Body to the level of Perfection. If you begin the process of Entering Demon, you’ll descend into complete madness. Do not use the Demon Heart Sword Body unless it’s a matter of life and death. The moment you manifest your Demonic Nature, the entire world will become your enemy. With so many Saint Sons and Saintesses present, you must exercise restraint."

the Little Dragon Girl earnestly advised.

She knew Ye Tianling all too well; he was not one to keep a low profile.

’Hmph. Coming to the Dragon Race this time, I’ve already accepted the possibility of death. I won’t leave until I’ve shattered the Cyan Dragon Race, leaving them with a pain that will last for eternity, and made Long Fengyang regret the day he was born! So don’t talk to me about retreating or keeping a low profile, Little Dragon Girl! I’ll be grateful enough if you just warn me of any critical dangers.’

’The worst that can happen is death. As long as my will is indestructible, I am immortal. Killing me won’t be that easy!’

Ye Tianling’s expression was grim as he replied in his heart.

"You’re right. Very well, I’ll stop trying to influence you. This time, I’ll support you with everything I have—from this day forward, I’ll do my best not to interfere with your decisions!"

The Little Dragon Girl fell silent for a moment before suddenly sending him that mental message.

Ye Tianling was somewhat taken aback.

"My previous masters were too shrewd, too focused on scheming and laying out plans, but they lacked the courage for a desperate, all-or-nothing battle. Perhaps that was the real reason they failed. But looking at your journey so far... Ye Tianling, go for it. Make a huge scene!"

The Little Dragon Girl transmitted a bit more information.

Instantly, Ye Tianling understood some of the reasoning behind her words.

The Little Dragon Girl’s core policy had always been centered on ’stability’ and ’safety’—no risks, no reckless pursuit of glory, just slow and steady progress.

But such a method was completely at odds with Ye Tianling’s Dao.

After careful inference and calculation, influenced by Ye Tianling’s fierce and overbearing will, the Little Dragon Girl had voluntarily yielded for the first time.

The stronger Ye Tianling became, the more she began to fulfill her duties.

"Esteemed Saint Masters, Senior Sword Ancestor, my fellow Saint Sons and Saintesses, and fellow Daoists."

Just then, Long Cangqian descended from the distant void and landed in the core of the Ancient Battlefield. He stood atop a battle-stage cloud platform, cupped his fists in all directions, and began to speak.

"For all of you to come and witness this ceremony—to see the historic moment of my, Ye Cangqian’s, transformation into Long Cangqian of the Supreme Dao, the First Saint Son of the Dragon God bloodline—is a kindness I, Long Cangqian, will commit to memory. Thank you, everyone."

Long Cangqian spoke calmly. Although his tone was arrogant, his words were magnanimous and proper.

His words even carried a primordial aura, and a vast Dao Sound manifested with his speech.

After he landed, Saint Master Long Fengyang of the Jade Water Cyan Dragon Race, part of the Ice Sword Dragon lineage, descended.

He was followed by Saint Master Long Wentian of the Bloodthirsty Black Dragon Clan, part of the Hell Demon Dragon lineage.

Next, Saint Master Long Xuanji of the Tribulation Fire Golden Dragon clan, part of the Golden Battle Dragon lineage, manifested his form, appearing directly after crossing through the void.

Finally, Qingwan Saint Master of the Silent Extinction Purple Dragon clan, part of the Elemental Magnetic Celestial Dragon lineage, also manifested her transcendent, fairy-like form and descended from above.

With the Saint Masters of the Four Great Dragon Clans gathered, their combined presence was staggering, and the atmosphere grew thick with tension.

At this, Long Cangqian bowed slightly, saluting the Four Great Saint Masters, then quietly stepped to the side to wait patiently.

"Fellow Daoists. Although this occasion is for me, Long Fengyang, to take an adopted son, you all know that with the chaotic mutations in the Celestial Demon Blood Domain, a centennial calamity is fast approaching."

"A Child of Celestial Mandate has appeared in the world, with talent that moves the Nine Heavens and ability that astounds the ages."

"The Taotie is an Ancient Divine Beast known for Devouring. The Devouring Divine Body bloodline derived from it will be the greatest nemesis to the chaos of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain."

"Therefore, Cangqian is not merely my adopted son, Long Fengyang—he is the adopted son of all of you Saint Masters as well!"

Long Fengyang cupped his fists. A crimson light poured from his eyes, yet they were incomparably clear and demonic, both resolute and terrifying.

"Indeed. If that weren’t the case, there would have been no need for such a grand assembly today."

Long Wentian immediately affirmed this.

Long Xuanji and Long Qingwan also nodded lightly, indicating that the matter had their approval.
