Chapter 329: Chapter 329: The Secret of the Sword Ancestor Star
The Celestial Secret God Master shook his head. "This is no longer something you must bear alone. The circumstances are very complex."
Ye Tianling’s gaze hardened. "Please, Celestial Secret God Master, tell me everything. Even if I must pay the price, I want to go into this with my eyes open!"
A wondrous Dao light flickered in the Celestial Secret God Master’s eyes. He hesitated for a long while.
The blood-colored clouds descended even further, blanketing the sky.
At that moment, Ouyang Ruoxue, supported by Ancient Fairy, approached Ye Tianling.
"My love... I’m so sorry..."
She apologized in a quavering voice.
"I already know. You don’t have to apologize. It’s alright. I’ve mastered the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden. Once I figure out how to break it, I’ll definitely free you from these shackles. Ruoxue, you have to be strong and wait for me."
Ye Tianling reached out, gently caressing Ouyang Ruoxue’s face.
By now, his emotions had grown quite faint.
His expression was somewhat stiff as he spoke, and his movements seemed awkward and unpracticed.
He couldn’t grasp the significance of cherishing Ouyang Ruoxue.
Yet he still made himself go through the motions.
"My love, I will. Don’t worry about me. I will rely on my own ability and willpower to break these shackles. I will never be a burden to you again."
Ouyang Ruoxue choked back a sob, biting her lip. She hugged Ye Tianling tightly, completely unwilling to let go.
Ye Tianling didn’t want to let go either, but he was truly out of time.
Even with the effects of the Celestial Secret Soul Stone still active, he was at his absolute limit.
The feeling was terrifying.
"Ruoxue..."
Ye Tianling’s hands were trembling. He gently took Ouyang Ruoxue by the shoulders, then kissed her.
Ouyang Ruoxue responded with passion.
The kiss was brief. Ye Tianling pulled away and gave Ancient Fairy a look.
Ancient Fairy obediently helped Ouyang Ruoxue pull back.
The Celestial Secret God Master sighed. "Tianling, all of you, come with me."
As he spoke, he waved his palm. A wondrous Celestial Secret Power emanated forth, forming a Void Road that led directly to Celestial Secret Valley on Celestial Secret Mountain.
Celestial Secret Valley was another place that could obscure the heavens’ secrets, a sanctuary isolated from the rest of the world.
After Ye Tianling and the others arrived, the crushing pressure from the terrifying blood-red clouds immediately lessened.
It was as if a great mountain weighing down on their hearts had been lifted away.
But for that very reason, everyone’s mood grew even heavier.
The Celestial Secret God Master looked up at the transparent sky above them.
The blood-red clouds outside were still present, and the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon above them was now even more distinct.
...
RUMBLE—
Deep within the Ancestral Dragon Abyss, in the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave.
Long Fengyang was drenched in blood, his eyes exceptionally savage.
His entire body trembled, his eyes blazing with intense hatred.
"Damn it! Damn that old bastard! I will seize control of the Dragon Race again and take back everything that belongs to me!"
Long Fengyang’s words were venomous. He was just about to use the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden to drag Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo to him.
But just as he was about to act, a hand of blood and flame gripped his own.
It was Ye Tianxi’s hand.
"What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re going to stop me, too? Betray me?"
Long Fengyang’s tone was exceptionally vicious.
"No. Taking revenge on them is meaningless. That old hag woke up from a long-lost era; she already knows everything she needs to. At this point, a trick like the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden is useless."
Ye Tianxi coughed, and the mouthful of blood she spat out transformed into Nirvana Flame.
Her expression grew even colder as she spoke. "In that case, I’ll just use the Nirvana Technique as a sacrifice to the heavens and unleash this world’s true foundations. The Celestial Demon Blood Domain wants to emerge? Then let it emerge.
The slumbering Ten Thousand Races want to awaken and be revived? This world is destined to evolve back into the Domain of the Gods? So be it!
A legendary era... let me, Ye Tianxi, be the one to begin it."
With that, Ye Tianxi sat down cross-legged on the spot.
"Foster Father, stand guard for me."
Ye Tianxi said coolly.
Her words, however, carried an irresistible authority, as if they were in harmony with the Celestial Dao Will itself. Even Long Fengyang found he could not bring himself to refuse.
"You... what are you planning to do?"
Fear bloomed in Long Fengyang’s heart. Even in his near-frenzied state, he was still incredibly wary of Ye Tianxi.
"What am I doing? I’m simply liberating this world ahead of schedule. I’m letting it reveal its true face. This world has hidden its filth for too long, deceived the heavens for too long! I will expose everything and let them all know that from the very beginning, they have been nothing but sacrificial pawns, nothing but worthless ants!"
Ye Tianxi’s eyes were utterly glacial.
That look sent a chilling dread through Long Fengyang’s heart.
"But... if you do that, wouldn’t it... wouldn’t it mean..."
Long Fengyang was now incredibly hesitant.
Ye Tianxi said coldly, "Even if I don’t do this, the world is already awakening. The truth can no longer be hidden. Rather than let someone else do it and reap the enormous rewards, why don’t you and I just take them for ourselves ahead of time? When that happens, we will stand above all others and become true Venerables!"
Ye Tianxi’s words immediately captured Long Fengyang’s heart.
A fiery fervor lit up his eyes, and he began to stand guard for Ye Tianxi without another moment’s hesitation.
...
In Celestial Secret Valley, the Celestial Secret God Master was lost in thought for a long time.
He took a deep breath, his expression grave, and finally began to reveal the world’s secrets.
"Tianling, this is a pla that serves as the tomb for countless Divine Spirits and Venerables. In the past, the Sword Ancestor Star wasn’t just a pla, but a Divine Land, a Domain, an entire era—an era where Venerables roamed freely and Divine Spirits were a dime a dozen.
In that age, the various great Ancient Physiques were developed to their absolute peak. The Eight Great Ancient Venerable Dominator Body is a legend passed down from that time.
"Back then, everything from Talent Divine Techniques to the myriad of special bloodline inheritances was unbelievably heaven-defying.
"In that era, someone with your Talent would have been considered merely average."
"But prosperity is always followed by decline. That era became too powerful—so powerful that its resources began to dwindle and eventually run dry. In the end, they embarked on a path of Devouring. The gods died, and the demons were annihilated.
The Divine Land was reduced to ruins. Countless peerless geniuses could only lament the tragedy of their era, left to rot away with the passage of time.
"To ensure their bloodlines would continue, the more powerful Sects and Hidden Lands sealed themselves away again and again, weakening themselves time after time, undergoing Transformation Dao after Transformation Dao. They vainly attempted to preserve their legacies in their entirety, but were helplessly forced to settle for niy percent, then eighty, then seventy... constantly reducing them.
"The stronger the legacy, the more resources it consumed. Every measure they took to weaken it greatly reduced the cost and lowered the difficulty for future generations to awaken their inheritance.
"And so, as the ages passed and time marched on, those powerful bloodlines, the ancient Divine Bodies, and other such physiques fell completely into decline.
"The once-endless Divine Land began to shrink and fall dormant, accumulating its reserves and waiting for a chance to thrive once more."
