Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 46: Don’t Be Too Arrogant Before You Have Strength

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Don’t Be Too Arrogant Before You Have Strength

Qingyang Town, Ye Race.

The figures of Ye Cangqian and Ouyang Ruoxue descended one after the other.

Ouyang Ruoxue looked over with her beautiful eyes. Seeing this, Ye Cangqian shook his head.

Ouyang Ruoxue’s expression immediately turned colder. "This Yun Zhiruo is going too far! She’s interfering in this matter too?!"

Ye Cangqian said nothing. Instead, his gaze fell directly on Ye Yuemei, who stood beside Ye Fenghan not far away. "Your Talent is not bad, and you are one of the Ye Clan People. I will take good care of you in the Cyan Moon Sword Sect in the future."

Hearing this, Ye Fenghan was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

His mind instantly started racing, but he didn’t let it show. He glanced at his daughter, Ye Yuemei, and thought, ’Girl, your opportunity has come. This Emperor Cangqian is countless times stronger than that Ye Tianling.’

"My Talent is not bad? Who do you think you are? Do I need you to judge my Talent?"

Ye Yuemei said coldly.

Ye Cangqian’s expression grew a little colder. "Little girl, in a World where the strong are respected, don’t be so arrogant before you have the strength to back it up. Otherwise, plenty of experts will teach you a lesson in the future!"

Ye Fenghan was startled and quickly explained, "Emperor Cangqian, my young daughter is ignorant and spoke carelessly. I hope you won’t hold her offense against her."

Ye Cangqian didn’t even spare Ye Fenghan’s subservient, bowing figure a single glance, ignoring him completely.

Ye Yuemei, however, sneered. "Teach me a lesson? I’ve only just begun my formal Cultivation. Say that to me again in three years, and I’ll be the one teaching you a lesson!"

Ye Cangqian scoffed. "Teach you a lesson in three years? Little girl, of all the people to emulate, you choose that piece of trash! Making such wild boasts, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue? The path of the Sword Dao is divided into the realms of Swordsman, Sword Beginning, and Sword Qi; Sword Essence, Sword Intent, and Sword Heart; and Sword Spirit, Sword Soul, and Sword Spirit. You’re still at the very bottom right now, no different from trash or an ant. To think you can reach my current Sword Soul Third Heaven Realm in three years is nothing but a fool’s dream!"

Ye Yuemei huffed. "So what? Brother Tianling could cultivate to the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm in four days. In three years, I can definitely cultivate to the Sword Spirit Realm or higher!"

Ye Cangqian suddenly laughed. "It seems you care a lot about that ant. A pity he was too arrogant, and I crushed his Soul to pieces. Yun Zhiruo arrived long ago but didn’t make a move to protect him. Do you know why?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuemei’s beautiful face grew even colder.

She said nothing, but she firmly committed this matter to memory.

Ye Cangqian was very satisfied with this blow to Ye Yuemei. He added arrogantly, "I know your Talent is not bad; after all, you were a Disciple personally chosen by Elder Xiao Qingxuan. If not for that, you wouldn’t have lived past today! However, now that you’ve entered the Cyan Moon Sword Sect, a mere ant like him exists in a different World from you. Don’t lower yourself by getting close to such an ant and shaming the Cyan Moon Sword Sect."

Ye Yuemei retorted coldly, "Who I get close to is none of your business! You keep calling Brother Tianling an ant, yet you’ve been coveting his Talent all along! So what does that make you? In the end, you’re just insecure about your own Talent—a piece of trash! You’re just relying on the fact that you’ve cultivated for a few more days! In the future, whether it’s Brother Tianling or me, we will both show you what a true genius is!"

These words from Ye Yuemei instantly struck a raw nerve in Ye Cangqian’s heart.

The accusation of ’coveting Ye Tianling’s Talent’ was indeed his greatest taboo and inviolable weakness.

Ye Yuemei’s words caused Ye Cangqian’s killing intent to surge.

"I think Junior Sister is absolutely right. That’s also why I look down on you! Furthermore, if you try to sow discord between me and Junior Sister behind our backs again, I will cripple you with my own hands!"

Suddenly, a frigid voice drifted over.

An icy Sword Intent enveloped the area, locking down the surrounding space.

Then, a figure that seemed to be formed from a coalescence of immense icy Sword Intent materialized into a beautiful woman in a white gauze dress.

This person was none other than the returning Yun Zhiruo.

With these words, Yun Zhiruo showed Ye Cangqian absolutely no respect.

Ye Cangqian’s face was extremely dark. He snorted and said, "Good. Very good!"

"Yun Zhiruo, you’ve gone too far!"

Ouyang Ruoxue couldn’t stand to watch any longer and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Celestial Profound Sword Sect has no friendship with my Cyan Moon Sword Sect. You have no right to interfere. If you’re not convinced, we can fight to the death right now."

Ouyang Ruoxue’s face also turned frosty. "Yun Zhiruo, we’ll meet again during the next great war between the Major Sects. At that time, I will fight you to the death!"

Yun Zhiruo said, "Fine. I accept your challenge. Now you can get lost!"

Ouyang Ruoxue was utterly humiliated and enraged. "You stopped me from hunting down that damned rat and even deliberately let him go! Aren’t you going to give me an explanation for this?"

Yun Zhiruo said, "An explanation? Make your move. I’ll give you a hundred-move handicap."

Ouyang Ruoxue’s body trembled slightly, and she bit her lip. "You—"

"If you’re not going to fight, then get out of the way. I’m taking my junior sister back to the Cyan Moon Sword Sect."

As she spoke, Yun Zhiruo walked over to Ye Yuemei and said softly, "With a Strong Heart and such conviction, reaching the Sword Spirit Realm in three years might not be impossible. Nothing in this world is truly difficult; the only difficulty lies in setting your mind to it."

Ye Yuemei nodded lightly. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

Yun Zhiruo said, "I sent Ye Tianling to Forbidden Moon Mountain. He was taken away by the Gold-devouring Rat, Que Xinyan. With Que Xinyan’s Ability and his Master’s resources, Ye Tianling should be able to survive."

Hearing this, Ye Yuemei finally felt a little relieved. She bowed deeply to Yun Zhiruo and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Zhiruo."

Yun Zhiruo shook her head. "There’s no need. To be honest, I did have a chance to act earlier and save Ye Tianling. But as Ye Cangqian said, your Talent is astonishingly brilliant, so you and Ye Tianling were originally beings on completely different levels. And for the Extreme Cold Sword Body to unleash its greatest Innate Ability, you must maintain a ’Heart of Extreme Cold’ and avoid emotions and worldly desires as much as possible. That is the only way for your Realm to advance more quickly.

"Therefore, I was prepared to watch Ye Cangqian kill him. That way, you would have a heart bent on revenge, which would sever your worldly attachment, naturally making it easier for you to grow stronger."

Ye Yuemei wasn’t surprised; she had already considered these possibilities.

As for Yun Zhiruo’s frankness, she also understood that the other woman was speaking plainly to prevent Ye Cangqian from using this matter to sow discord between them.

Ye Yuemei sighed. "Brother Tianling’s Talent is truly exceptional. He didn’t just burn his bloodline; it mutated. Senior Sister, you underestimated him."

Yun Zhiruo pondered for a moment. "I did indeed underestimate him. He not only withstood that fatal blow from Ye Cangqian’s peerless Sword Soul but also managed to escape. That Ability in itself is extraordinary, which is why I intervened to save him later. But it’s a pity. Now he has no Dantian, no Qi Sea, and no Qi Pillar, and his Soul has been crushed to pieces. In this state, he’s no different from a cripple.

"So, you must work hard. After you step into the third Great Realm of the Sword Dao, you can help him."
