Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 26: Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent

’This Lin Xueqin is only fifteen, right? She’s really something else!’

It was a real eye-opener for Ye Tianling.

With his intelligence, and having already tasted the pleasures of Yin Yang Harmony, how could he not know what these items were for?

Ye Tianling found these things filthy, and his interest in investigating them instantly waned.

However, as his Sensing Power continued to probe, he finally discovered something good—the very same Black Feather Escape Talismans he had plundered from Ye Tianyun, and there were five of them.

In addition, there were seven Small Peiyuan Pills, fourteen Profound Crystal Stones, and ninety-three Yellow Crystal Stones.

Ye Tianling took these items out and placed them in his Qiankun Ring.

Afterward, Ye Tianling instinctively gathered his Soul Power and directed his Sensing toward the black iron rod.

Suddenly, a strange stream of information appeared in his mind.

"Profound Ice Cold Iron Rod: Can be used to refine Profound Ice Cold Iron. Profound Ice Cold Iron is a Profound Tier Middle Grade Refining Material. This rod can release an icy aura every three seconds, enhancing the effects of ’Yin Yang Harmony’."

Ye Tianling was stunned when this information appeared.

’This... this is my Innate Ability? A Soul Talent? A soul-appraising ability? This must be the Bloodline Talent inherited from my mother, right?’

’As for my Fiery Sun Sword Body Talent... it was completely devoured by the Dragon Blood. That Fiery Sun Sword Body Talent has long since transformed into the Sword Venerate Dominating Body—and the Sword Venerate Dominating Body is the legendary Emperor’s Qi Sword Body!’

Ye Tianling muttered to himself, only snapping out of his daze after a long moment.

This Soul Talent was related to the strength of one’s Soul.

The stronger the Soul, the more thoroughly it could inspect the information of an unknown item.

The Soul Talent was a hidden Talent, and also the most mysterious of legendary Talents.

If it were to be graded, its Level would far exceed the ’Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow’ or the nine-level Talent rating system.

With this Talent alone, even if he had no other abilities, he could make a living as an ’Appraiser’!

And a high-level Appraiser could attain an extremely high social status.

Not to mention, Ye Tianling didn’t just have the Soul Talent; he also possessed the Sword Venerate Dominating Body, an unparalleled constitution in the Sword Dao World—the Emperor’s Qi Sword Body Bloodline Talent!

Ye Tianling continuously sensed his own body. While using the Turtle Breath Technique to conceal his aura, he also circulated the entry-level Cultivation Technique of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique, using the Blood Qi flowing within him to condense the Samadhi True Fire and once again temper his body and Soul.

During this Cultivation, the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Immortal Sword Technique gradually stabilized and began to operate on its own. Ye Tianling’s body and mind entered a state of Harmonization Dao, placing him in a profound state of enlightenment.

He then began to focus on receiving the series of Martial Dao inheritances from the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai’s ascension when he Shattered the Void.

This was the memory of a supreme expert, containing Dugu Qiubai’s understanding and insights into all his cultivation techniques.

It started with the Nine Swords of Dugu, followed by the Nine Yin Scripture, Turtle Breath Technique, Disguise Technique, Six Meridian Divine Sword, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Finger Snap Divine Technique, Nine Yang Divine Skill, Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, as well as Wave-Riding Light Step, Divine Hundred Transformations, Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm, Little Faceless Technique, and other cultivation techniques.

From this, Ye Tianling gradually witnessed Dugu Qiubai’s invincible life.

He comprehended the heavens above and the earth below; he was a master of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting—he was proficient in almost everything.

And now, all of his masterful abilities had formed an inheritance, transforming into streams of information that gradually awakened within Ye Tianling’s memory.

Ye Tianling was completely immersed, unable to pull himself away.

...

Above the Ye Race of Qingyang Town.

Two streaks of cyan sword light descended, solidifying into two figures.

These two were none other than Ye Tianyun’s older brother, Ye Tianfan, and Ye Tianfan’s senior sister, Jin Zhifu.

"Tianfan, your strength has improved yet again. You’ve reached the Half-step Sword Realm, haven’t you?"

After landing, Jin Zhifu’s beautiful eyes fell upon Ye Tianfan’s handsome face, which held a slightly demonic charm.

Her eyes held a clear look of admiration.

"Yes, I’ve already comprehended a bit of the ’Geng Metal Sword Intent’. It won’t be long now. Once I deal with that little bastard, my thoughts will be clear, and I can take that final step to transform and enter the Sword Intent Realm."

Ye Tianfan said with a hint of arrogance.

At the same time, his gaze toward Jin Zhifu softened with a trace of tenderness.

Jin Zhifu nodded slightly and said, "I’ve heard about that Ye Tianling business. Such a lowly bastard. Instead of appreciating the grace your family showed by adopting and raising him, he turned rebellious and killed several clan disciples. He’s absolutely despicable and deserves to die!"

Ye Tianfan’s expression turned grim as he said coldly, "Now that I’m back, that little bastard can’t escape even if he grows wings! I’ll make him regret ever laying a hand on my brother!"

As Ye Tianfan spoke, Ye Wannian and the others had already sensed the commotion and immediately came out to greet them.

"Tianfan, you’re back."

"Tianfan, your brother’s condition has stabilized. Don’t worry."

"Tianfan, we’ve already prepared the resources to trade for a Profound Tier Top Grade Creation Pill to help your brother recover."

Several Elders immediately began speaking in an obsequious tone.

This was because Jin Zhifu, standing beside Ye Tianfan, was already manifesting a powerful Sword Intent aura!

She was a genius girl who was at least at the Sword Intent Second Heaven, or perhaps even the Third Heaven. Paired with her ’intimate’ relationship with Ye Tianfan, it was clear their connection was extraordinary.

With this, one could only imagine how high Ye Tianfan’s status in the Celestial Sword Sect was, and how great his future achievements would be.

Ye Tianfan completely ignored the fawning attitude of these Elders, whose Realms were already beneath his own, and looked directly at Ye Wannian.

"Clan Leader, what is the situation? Is there any news of that little bastard?"

Ye Tianfan asked in a low voice.

Even when facing Ye Wannian, a Clan Leader at the Sword Intent Realm, he was still extremely disrespectful.

Yet, Ye Wannian wasn’t angry. Instead, he bowed slightly and said in a gentle voice, "There is no news, but we still have the blood-stained ’Heaven-Testing Stone.’ We haven’t been able to track his aura with it; the little bastard has learned some kind of miraculous technique to hide his presence."

Ye Tianfan clasped his hands behind his back and asked, "The Fiery Sun Sword also fell into his hands?"

Ye Wannian replied, "Yes."

Ye Tianfan said, "Give me the Heaven-Testing Stone."

Ye Wannian immediately took out the Heaven-Testing Stone.

The Heaven-Testing Stone was still snow-white, but within that whiteness was a streak of crimson that was very eye-catching.

The Blood Qi spread out, but within the Heaven-Testing Stone, it was like a hazy, flickering mass of Flame.

"Average Talent. The fiery sun blazes, so he indeed burned his Bloodline Talent. His blood has even manifested into a flame-like form. That little bastard is crippled. He probably wanted to take a few more people down with him before he died."

Ye Tianfan came to this conclusion with just a single glance.

Beside Ye Tianfan, Jin Zhifu’s delicate nose twitched inexplicably.

"SNIFF SNIFF—"

Wisps of cold Sword Intent suddenly manifested above her head, followed by a faint wave of Soul Power that spread out.

The scene suddenly became exceptionally strange.

Then, she moved closer to the Heaven-Testing Stone and, like a hound, took a hard sniff of it.

Afterward, she glanced around before her gaze settled in a particular direction.

"The aura is very strong here. Let’s go have a look."

Jin Zhifu completely ignored Ye Wannian, speaking directly to Ye Tianfan.

If not for giving Ye Tianfan face, a high-and-mighty person like her wouldn’t even have bothered to set foot in an ant-like family such as the Ye Race of Qingyang Town.

"Hmph. It looks like the little bastard is still hiding within our Ye Race, waiting for a chance to strike! Heh, this little bastard is somewhat interesting."

With that, Ye Tianfan followed after Jin Zhifu.

Jin Zhifu sniffed the air from time to time.

Finally, the large group made their way directly to the edge of Forbidden Moon Cliff.
