Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Devouring Law
"I’m not worthy—"
Ye Enjun immediately bowed, his bearing exceptionally dignified.
Of course, the profound respect and adoration in his eyes were clearly genuine.
"Celestial Secret Divine Son, I do have some very important information that I must deliver to you personally. However, this place... is not exactly convenient."
Ye Enjun glanced around, his tone utterly sincere.
"Then... how about a visit to my Celestial Secret Divine Land?"
Ye Tianling smiled.
"I couldn’t ask for more."
Ye Enjun agreed at once, not the least bit concerned for his own safety.
The Night Demon Lord initially wanted to stop him, but after some thought, he ultimately relented.
’Given Ye Tianling’s disposition, he wouldn’t slaughter the innocent wantonly... right?’
The Night Demon Lord could only think this.
"Ye Enjun, when you’re at the Celestial Secret Divine Land, you must be humble and courteous..."
The Night Demon Lord couldn’t help but instruct.
"Rest assured, Demon Lord. I understand."
Ye Enjun bowed reverently, his respect for the Night Demon Lord immense.
"Celestial Secret Divine Son, we would also like to visit the Celestial Secret Divine Land. We have long heard of its great name. Would you grant us the opportunity?"
Just then, Kong Daoxi immediately flew over.
She was truly captivated by Ye Tianling’s charisma. Where she had once feared catching his eye, she had now fallen for him completely, heedless of what others might think.
"If you want to come, just follow along."
Ye Tianling couldn’t help but smile.
...
「Celestial Secret Divine Land」
"Celestial Secret Divine Son, that is what happened in the City of Sin. I apologize. I shouldn’t have fallen for Yuemei, and from now on, I will no longer harbor any improper thoughts."
Ye Enjun was very forthcoming as he recounted the events.
Ye Tianling smiled coolly and clapped Ye Enjun on the shoulder. "Many people think I, Ye Tianling, am some Great Demon, and I don’t deny it. But I’m never so petty with my friends. The fact that you like Mei’Er only proves you have good taste and that Mei’Er is charming. What’s wrong with that?"
"Besides, you helped Mei’Er. For that, I truly ought to thank you."
Hearing this, Ye Enjun was deeply moved.
’Such talent, such magnanimity... this is the man Mei’Er is destined to be happy with.’
"No, I am the one who should be thanking you, Divine Son."
Ye Enjun insisted. Then, after a moment of contemplation, he spoke again.
This time, however, he spoke of a Law Inheritance.
"I lost my Demon Soul and was destined to become mediocre. Although I possess a Strong Heart, you know as well as I do, Divine Son, that relying on that alone to rise quickly is nothing but a pipe dream. Then one day, I suddenly had an epiphany and received your mother’s inheritance—the Dragon Blood and the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique."
"It is a technique that cannot be directly passed down... but based on my own comprehension, I have managed to extract its specific transformations to impart to you, Divine Son."
"This is also one of your mother’s wishes."
"Normally, we would not have come to the Human Race’s territory. But I persuaded the Demon Lord to make the trip because I heard that the Ancient Fairy was going to fight Divine Son Ye Cangkun."
"I was hoping I would be able to meet you here... Now, that wish can finally be fulfilled."
Ye Enjun sighed, filled with emotion.
Ye Tianling was visibly moved.
He had never imagined that Ye Enjun would pay such a heavy price and travel so far just to deliver this Law Inheritance to him.
This was a truly immense debt of gratitude.
"Brother Ye, my deepest thanks!"
Ye Tianling clasped his fist and gave a deep bow.
"You absolutely mustn’t—"
Ye Enjun rushed to stop him, but it was too late.
"If you don’t mind, Brother Ye, from now on, let us be sworn brothers."
Ye Tianling’s gaze was sincere.
"Brother Tianling."
Ye Enjun bowed, thrilled and deeply touched.
"Brother Enjun."
Ye Tianling smiled as well.
By not distinguishing between elder and younger, they demonstrated an even more sincere brotherly affection.
In Ye Tianling’s view, while Ye Enjun’s actions might have been sparked by Yuemei, they were more a testament to his personal charisma and his chivalrous, righteous spirit.
Ye Tianling was more than willing to befriend such a man.
"Brother Tianling, the core Law of the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique is Devouring. Devouring Energy is the lesser path. Devouring Law Origin is the ordinary path. To devour Space-Time, to devour the world, and even to reverse-devour, leading to Destruction and Creation—that is its true essence..."
Ye Enjun explained the Law Inheritance of Devouring he had received from the Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique, along with his own comprehensions.
As it was a technique that could not be directly passed down, Ye Enjun could only explain it through the lens of his own understanding.
Ye Tianling understood instantly.
The shock he felt was immense.
But beyond the shock, he also felt a profound sense of gratitude toward Mei’Er and his mother, Long Qingzhuo.
They were both making sacrifices for him—great sacrifices.
’Mother, Mei’Er, I will find you and rescue you soon!’
Ye Tianling’s gaze grew even more resolute.
Only then did he begin to seriously comprehend the Law Inheritance Ye Enjun had given him.
’The Emperor’s Qi Dragon Swallowing Heaven Divine Technique... to devour the Celestial Dao, devour Laws, Destruction and Creation...’
Through this comprehension, Ye Tianling even transcended the scope of Law, grasping something much deeper.
After a full half-day, Ye Tianling completed his comprehension, and his Realm surged into the Late Stage of the Sword Void Four Transformation.
Ye Enjun, for his part, had left the site of Ye Tianling’s Seclusion and was touring Celestial Secret Mountain with Kong Daoze, Que Zhishang, and the others.
When Ye Tianling emerged from the secret chamber in the Forbidden Land, he saw Fairy waiting for him outside, sitting cross-legged.
"Fairy, what are you doing here?"
Ye Tianling was surprised and felt a pang of tenderness. He immediately pulled Ancient Fairy to her feet.
"Master, I’ve created a very powerful Dao, and I was hoping you could critique it for me."
Ancient Fairy said affectionately.
As she spoke, she couldn’t resist throwing herself into Ye Tianling’s embrace and cuddling up to him like an adorable little fox, making one’s heart ache with affection.
"You, silly girl. You’re just trying to make your Master even stronger, aren’t you? This isn’t about me critiquing you at all. If you want to pass a Dao to me, you don’t have to be so careful about saving my pride."
Ye Tianling gently pinched Ancient Fairy’s cheek, his heart filled with warmth.
Ancient Fairy had a unique, intoxicating fragrance about her.
Given Ye Tianling’s disposition, with Fairy acting so coquettishly in his arms, he felt the urge to become a beast.
But he restrained himself.
Breathing in her sweet, soul-stirring fragrance, Ye Tianling truly felt a warmth he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
"Master, it’s actually a kind of bloodline Transformation Technique, but it isn’t perfect. Besides, my progress with the Panhuang Life and Death Killing Dao has hit a bottleneck, and I can’t increase my Battle Power any further."
Ancient Fairy sensed a certain part of Ye Tianling suddenly and proudly rise to attention. Her delicate body instantly went a little weak, but she suppressed her shyness and spoke in a soft voice.
"Then why don’t you tell me about it."
Ye Tianling wasn’t embarrassed. He actually quite enjoyed this slightly intimate yet incredibly warm atmosphere.
He also knew that Ancient Fairy, far from being repulsed, was even enjoying it.
