Chapter 739: Establishing the Ancestor Dragon Holy Land

"Tianyun, I... I’m not worthy of him. Please, don’t do this. You’re putting him in an awkward position."

Liu Xu’Er sent this message to Ye Tianyun via voice transmission, making sure Ye Tianling wouldn’t hear it.

However, even without deliberately extending his senses, nothing could escape the innate perception of Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent.

Ye Tianling was speechless and gave a wry smile. "I never said I was abandoning you. You’re overthinking things. What I meant is, you can choose to forfeit the assessment now and return to the outside world."

"As for me, I have to enter the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, and this Teleportation Array is unstable. I can’t take you with me."

"As for you, Xu’Er, it’s not that I don’t like you. I just don’t want you to be my Maid. Is that what you really want? Or are you saying you want to engage in Yin Yang Harmony with me right now? Because if that’s the case, I certainly wouldn’t object."

Ye Tianling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he now generally understood the anxiety and insecurity behind Liu Xu’Er’s state of mind.

Ye Tianling’s explanation left Liu Xu’Er deeply embarrassed. It was only then that she realized she had completely misunderstood him.

"Then... then we’ll go back right away. Tianling, you... you have to take care of yourself."

Liu Xu’Er’s pretty face flushed crimson, and she became utterly flustered. Her heart hammered against her ribs like a frightened deer.

Ye Tianyun was also a little dazed. After a moment, she huffed inaudibly, then grabbed Liu Xu’Er and chose to forfeit the assessment.

In the next instant, an invisible light enveloped the two of them, and they were teleported away.

After the two had gone, Ye Tianling let out a soft sigh, his expression growing somewhat complicated.

’I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing.’

Ye Tianling murmured to himself.

"There’s no good or bad to it. If she wants to follow you, just let her. One more or one less makes no real difference. Besides, you’ve trained her quite well. With her Innate Ability, she has a bright future. While her Battle Power might not compare to Qianyu and the others, the gap isn’t that large."

"Recruiting someone like her for our faction should be a good thing."

Ye Tianxi said after some thought.

’Our faction?’ That’s right. After the Taiyin Ancient Tomb emerges and the Dao Rhyme Fragments complete their Fusion with the Time Axis, the Buried Soul Star Domain will return, and the entire Cosmos will achieve Perfection. At that point, creating our own faction will be the ultimate path forward."

Ye Tianling mused for a moment, then agreed with Ye Tianxi’s perspective.

"With our abilities, combined with the power of your Independent Secret Realm, we can train people on the move. Or, in the future, we could open up our own independent Space-Time Secret Realm. We can establish our faction inside, create our own Heaven-Reaching Tower, and cultivate more prodigies. Then, we’ll no longer have to live at the mercy of others."

Ye Tianxi added via voice transmission.

"That makes sense. You should put some thought into the planning. As for a location, I’ll provide one when the time comes. It would be best if we could seize a special Secret Realm like the Celestial Sacrifice Ancient City. If not, I’ll open up my own Inheritance Secret Realm to serve as our faction’s headquarters."

Ye Tianling said after a moment of thought.

"That’s feasible. When the time comes, as long as our old friends are still with us, everything will fall into place. People like Wan Jimie, Wan Xuegui, Que De, and Que Xinyan; or Ancient Fairy, Ouyang Ruoxue, Yun Zhiruo, and Ye Yuemei. Every single one of them is incredibly powerful!"

"The changes happening in the Soul Burial Starry Sky are also astonishing. There are many old acquaintances there who are your completely loyal followers, Brother Tianling. With a single command from you, they would ride from the corners of the earth to pledge their allegiance."

Ye Tianxi had grown calmer and more mature.

Ever since she completed her new transformation, she had begun to consider everything from Ye Tianling’s perspective, as if she had turned herself into his ’Puppet’.

She had perfected the role of a ’Confidant’.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent clearly sensed Ye Tianxi’s unwavering loyalty, and he felt immensely gratified.

"Alright, I won’t meddle in the details. Just tell me what needs to be done and what you need me to provide."

Ye Tianling said.

"Okay. But for now, I still need to consolidate the foundations of my Cultivation Technique. If possible, I’ll later consider passing down the Nirvana Nine Transformations technique. Combined with some of my Essence Blood, it would allow every prodigy in our faction to learn it."

"The results of their Cultivation may not be as good as for those of us with the Immortal Phoenix Divine Blood, but they will still possess an ’undying’ characteristic. They could withstand being severely wounded three to five times without falling into a life-threatening crisis."

Ye Tianxi had clearly given this some thought.

Ye Tianling nodded slightly, in complete agreement with all of Ye Tianxi’s decisions.

After discussing with Ye Tianxi for a while, a plan began to take shape in Ye Tianling’s mind.

His discussion with Ye Tianxi also led Ye Tianling to decide on a name for his faction.

’Ancestor Dragon Holy Land!’

Ancestor Dragon Holy Land, taken from the meaning of ’Dragon Ancestor’.

Ye Tianling had always believed that only the dragons of Huaxia were the true Dragon Ancestors.

The ’Holy Land’ part was because the inheritance of the Immortal Buddha Divine Clan emphasized the true meaning of ’Entering the Saint Realm’.

The moment Ye Tianling settled on this name, the Dragon Soul Divine Blood throughout his body seemed to enter the state of All Transformations Return to One. Suddenly, he had the distinct sensation that his bloodline had reached Minor Perfection.

It was as if every Dragon Soul within his blood cells had grown silent, immensely gratified and contentedly sinking into tranquility.

This wondrous experience seemed to imbue Ye Tianling’s body and mind with a trace of Divinity.

’This is Harmonization Dao, and it is also a great vow. In the future, the Ancestor Dragon Holy Land will surely radiate the glory of the Immortal Buddha Divine Clan and manifest the peerless might of the Huaxia Dragon Soul Divine Blood.’

Ye Tianling’s conviction grew stronger, his confidence more abundant.

As this change took place, he finally completed the condensation of the Primordial Rune.

The altar activated. A beam of teleportation light enveloped Ye Tianling, and in an instant, his figure vanished from the altar.

At the same time, the altar began to tremble violently. The very instant the Teleportation Array activated, the altar exploded, utterly annihilated.

With the altar’s Destruction, the Transmission Power was abruptly severed, shattering the sky itself.

This entire region of the Void collapsed. It was as if the Hell Celestial Tribulation had descended once more; the destructive power of the Killing Dao ravaged the world, and the entire Earth Palace disintegrated.

...

This massive disturbance caused the expressions of the War Dragon Academy’s leadership to turn grim.

The Earth Palace had been the best place to gather Dao Rhyme Fragments, and it could even regenerate.

Without Dao Rhyme Fragments, how were they supposed to improve their strength any further?

After all, even Master Qian Ye, by condensing and absorbing Dao Rhyme Fragments over the past few days, had already undergone two transformations from the Great Perfection level and stepped into the Three Paths Sword Ancestor Realm!

But now, the Earth Palace had collapsed, the Array had shattered, and the flow of Space-Time was severed. All of these opportunities would come to an end.
