Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 54: Peerless Uncanny Genius

"Alright, I’ll feed him the Elixir. The rest of you, help release some Energy to stabilize his body. We can’t let him explode. Otherwise, it’s all over."

As Die Xiyue spoke, she took out the ancient Celestial Tier Top Grade Ancient Creation Pill from Lin Yuchan and prepared to put it in Ye Tianling’s mouth.

But at that moment, Ye Tianling’s eyes suddenly flew open.

At the same time, the injuries on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His shattered meridians and everything else began to rapidly recover under the medicinal effects of the Creation Pills he had taken earlier.

Die Xiyue was stunned.

Wan Jianyun was stunned.

Even Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling were dumbfounded.

"Surprised? Didn’t expect that, did you?"

Ye Tianling wiped the blood from his face. It had already dried into a scab that flaked off.

This revealed his pale yet handsome, roguish, and charismatic face.

Ye Tianling looked at Ye Yueling with a roguish smile and asked his question.

"You... you—"

Ye Yueling shivered and took a step back.

"Well, you do have some conscience after all, coming to see your man. But don’t you worry. Your man’s glory isn’t that he once ’battled’ you, but that he’ll be battling you every day from now on, letting you experience the ecstasy of ’life’ and ’death’!"

Ye Tianling’s words were arrogant and domineering.

"Erk—"

Que Xinyan froze for a moment, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his ugly, rat-like face.

Even Wan Jianyun’s face darkened. ’I’m his Master, and I’m standing right here, yet he’s already this shameless?’

’Battle? Ecstasy?’

’Could you possibly be any more fucking shameless?’

"Go on. Let’s see you make her experience ’ecstasy’."

Lin Yuchan’s pretty face turned several shades colder, her eyes glittering with a cold and savage light.

A warning bell went off in Ye Tianling’s mind, and only then did he notice the savage, icy gaze of Ye Yueling’s Master, Lin Yuchan.

A chill ran down his spine, but he immediately gave a sly laugh. "Yuchan Fairy, thank you for the gift of the Pill. I will remember your kindness toward me, Ye Tianling. On behalf of my father, Ye Fengyang, allow me to greet you with a hug."

A smile that wasn’t quite a smile touched Lin Yuchan’s lips as she said lightly, "Yes, come. Greet me with a hug."

The hairs on Ye Tianling’s body stood on end. The chill in his heart almost exploded, and his sense of danger instantly hit its peak.

Ye Tianling immediately gave an awkward laugh. "Just kidding, just kidding."

Lin Yuchan said, "From the looks of it, you’ve recovered completely. That saves me a precious Elixir, which isn’t bad. I’ve also earned a huge favor from Brother Jianyun out of thin air."

Ye Tianling said, "Yuchan Fairy has also earned a huge favor from me, Ye Tianling." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lin Yuchan sneered. "A favor from you? Forget it. I’m afraid that after you become some peerless genius, you’ll want to ’battle’ me until I experience the ecstasy of life and death!"

Hearing this, the muscles on Ye Tianling’s face twitched, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Die Xiyue was also dumbfounded.

Wan Jianyun was even more stupefied!

’Is this something the pure and noble Ice Mountain Fairy, Lin Yuchan, would actually say?’

Only Que Xinyan, who seemed to know something, didn’t find it strange at all.

Lin Yuchan’s expression was as cold and indifferent as ever as she said lightly, "You’ve learned your father’s arrogance and his talent for making empty boasts, but there’s one of his Abilities you haven’t learned."

Ye Tianling asked blankly, "What Ability?"

Lin Yuchan said, "Heartless arrogance, and arrogant heartlessness."

Ye Tianling asked, "Fairy, are you saying my father was heartless and forsook love, or that I’m too emotional?"

Lin Yuchan didn’t answer. Instead, she said, "Yueling, now you can finally rest easy. Let’s go."

Ye Yueling immediately bowed. "Yes, Master."

...

After Lin Yuchan left, Wan Jianyun said with a half-smile, "Kid, you’ve got some serious nerve, daring to flirt with Yuchan Fairy like that. You must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gallbladder of a leopard!"

Ye Tianling shrugged. "I have, in fact, eaten a Clouded Leopard’s gallbladder and drunk its blood."

Wan Jianyun glared at Ye Tianling. "I can’t be bothered to trade barbs with you. You’ve recovered better than I thought, but your Cultivation is... Huh? You... you actually managed to preserve your Cultivation? Not bad, kid!"

As Wan Jianyun spoke, he carefully sensed Ye Tianling’s aura. He discovered that as Ye Tianling’s body healed, his Realm was actually starting to recover, returning to the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm!

Ye Tianling said nonchalantly, "Even if my Realm was gone, it was only the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm. I’d cultivate it back in two or three days."

Hearing this, the expression on Wan Jianyun’s handsome face became quite a sight to behold.

However, when he recalled the speed at which Ye Tianling had reached the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm in just four days, he was at a loss for words.

"I’m not trying to discourage you, but you have no Dantian, no Qi Sea, and no Qi Pillar. How are you going to continue your Cultivation?"

"And who says you can’t cultivate without a Dantian, a Qi Sea, and a Qi Pillar? Who made that rule? I’ll just create a Cultivation Technique that doesn’t need them, and that’s that."

Ye Tianling’s retort left Wan Jianyun completely stunned.

Even Die Xiyue, who had been about to say something, found her beautiful eyes lighting up, and the way she looked at Ye Tianling was suddenly different.

Que Xinyan, meanwhile, was filled with admiration. ’Now *this* is my Master! So powerful, his mere presence is like the roar of an overlord!’

’The Master is truly the Master! As arrogant as ever! As domineering as ever!’

Die Xiyue said, "But your Soul is shattered. You can’t form a Sword Soul anymore."

Ye Tianling retorted, "My Soul is shattered? So I can’t form a Sword Soul? If my Soul shatters into four pieces, I’ll form four Sword Souls. If it shatters into nine, I’ll form nine Sword Souls."

Die Xiyue clearly didn’t see it that way. "Forming a Sword Soul is extremely difficult! Besides, your Soul wasn’t just shattered; it was crushed to bits, far more than nine pieces. It’s a miracle you’re even alive. How could you possibly form countless Sword Souls?"

Unconcerned, Ye Tianling presented a set of cultivation theories from Earth. "It’s not like I absolutely have to form a Sword Soul. For example, what if I created a cultivation system like ’Refining Essence and Transforming Qi,’ ’Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation,’ ’Refining Spirit and Returning to the Void,’ and ’Refining Void Harmonization’? I could just skip the Sword Soul part. Or, I could establish Cultivation Realms like ’Qi Refining,’ ’Foundation Establishment,’ ’Core Formation,’ ’Nascent Soul,’ ’Soul Emergence,’ ’Integration,’ ’Tribulation,’ and ’Mahayana.’ Wouldn’t that work?

"All three thousand Daos lead to the same destination; you all are too focused on form."

After Ye Tianling said all this, Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue were speechless for a long time.

The main reason was that the very names of the Realms Ye Tianling proposed sounded incredibly profound and mysterious. Furthermore, they contained hints of extremely abstruse Daoist Techniques and Dao Marks. Upon deeper reflection, one could see how each stage linked to the next, making the entire system seem completely feasible!

Moreover, both the system based on ’Refining Essence and Transforming Qi’ and ’Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation,’ and the one involving ’Qi Refining,’ ’Foundation Establishment,’ ’Core Formation,’ and ’Nascent Soul,’ were very similar to this World’s own cultivation system, yet they clearly sidestepped certain key ’areas’.

This proved that Ye Tianling wasn’t just spouting nonsense but had actually given the matter a great deal of thought—and his ideas were remarkably well-developed!

Wan Jianyun and Die Xiyue pondered for the space of a hundred breaths before snapping out of it. Both couldn’t help but gasp, their gazes toward Ye Tianling filled with utter shock.

"You—are these all your own ideas? How far have you gotten with them?" Wan Jianyun asked in shock.

At that moment, he felt a surge of excitement. If Ye Tianling could truly pioneer an entirely new cultivation system, he would become a peerless prodigy, shaking the entire Sword Dao World!

The so-called Celestial Emperors and Fairies, even the Saint Sons and Saintesses or the Divine Sons and Divine Ladies, would likely pale in comparison to Ye Tianling’s achievements.

However, Wan Jianyun wasn’t some hot-blooded teenager. He wasn’t about to be completely taken in by a few of Ye Tianling’s words; his mind was still very level-headed.
