809 -Blade_ 1

Although Ye Qingtang’s cultivation base was already at half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, it was far from sufficient.

Not mentioning the skills of the Peerless School, there was still a threat from the Central Mainland.

Currently, the Dimension Wall was already broken, and this mainland would probably face a calamity sometime soon.

The only thing Ye Qingtang could do now was to raise her martial skills rapidly.

On this mainland, there were no other destinies for her to advance to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord state rapidly apart from the Dragon Vein.

After a while, Ye Qingtang arrived at the Bliss Forging Workshop.

As in the past, there were still many visitors, including the Nine Nights Dynasty royals, at the Bliss Forging Workshop

Ye Qingtang passed through the crowd with the silver wolf and the little white tiger and entered the Bliss Forging Workshop rapidly.

“Young Sir Ye, you’re here!”

Du Sheng was stunned to see Ye Qingtang and hurriedly received her.

Ye Qingtang nodded and said, “I’m here to look for Master Du.”

Hearing that, Du Sheng immediately chased away everyone who came to visit the Bliss Forging Workshop and closed the door.

“Master has ordered that as long as Young Sir Ye comes, everyone is to be chased away, and he will only attend to Young Sir Ye.” Du Sheng smiled.

Then, Ye Qingtang was led into the inner hall by Du Sheng.

Master Du was forging a weapon in the hall at this moment.

“Master, Young Sir Ye is here!” Du Sheng announced.

Master Du hurriedly looked in Ye Qingtang’s direction and was brimming with smiles upon seeing that it was indeed Ye Qingtang. He stood up immediately and said, “Young Sir Ye, you really made me wait for a long time.”

He had been too impatient to wait for the Dragon Vein. However, it was impossible for him to enter the Dragon Vein without Ye Qingtang.

“Master Du, is the weapon that I asked you to forge complete?” Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

“Mhm. It’s already forged. Wait for me for a moment,” Master Du said and left.

After a while, Master Du returned with a long, black sword that seemed as though it was dyed with ink.

“Black-grade…”

Ye Qingtang was in thought as she stared at the long sword.

In this world, all Dharma treasures and weapons were divided into four grades, namely Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

A yellow-grade weapon could not be compared to a black-grade weapon in any aspect.

“This sword is forged according to the prototype of the ancient sword, Regicide Sky Blade. Although it’s an imitation, it is extremely powerful and is a leader amongst the black-grade weapons,” Master Du said rather proudly.

“Regicide Sky Blade…”

Ye Qingtang mumbled.

The Regicide Sky Blade was said to be a heaven-grade weapon from the ancient era, and there were no traces of it presently.

“Thank you for your effort, Master Du.” Ye Qingtang smiled as she looked at the black-grade weapon in satisfaction.

After all, it was made from the Millennium Meteoric Iron. With Master Du’s craft on top, it would definitely be good.

After keeping the long sword, Ye Qingtang retrieved a few kilograms of meteoric iron and said, “Master Du, this is your remuneration.”

However, Master Du waved his hand and said, “Brother Ye Chen, you’re treating me as a stranger like this. With our relation, there’s no need for any remuneration.”

Ye Qingtang was rather speechless. It seemed that Master Du was determined to make her go to the Dragon Vein with him.

“Brother Ye Chen, how are you considering the matter regarding the Dragon Vein?” Master Du asked with a grin.

“You will decide on the time.” Ye Qingtang replied.

Upon hearing that, Master Du was slightly stunned and had a look of surprise.

He originally thought that he still needed to convince her.

Unexpectedly…

Ye Qingtang agreed just like this.

“Great. Brother Ye Chen is indeed a straightforward person.” After gaining Ye Qingtang’s agreement, Master Du chuckled as his eyes twinkled with excitement.

The trip to the Dragon Vein which he had been planning for over ten years could finally be realized today…

“However, we still have to make a good plan.” Master Du sighed before saying with a serious expression.

Ye Qingtang was not in a hurry over that.

In these two days, Ye Qingtang remained in the Bliss Forging Workshop and discussed the details of the plan with Master Du.

However, Ye Qingtang realized that the little white tiger disappeared from the Bliss Forging Workshop unknowingly. She searched for a long time but still could not find it, and only a silver wolf with ferocious eyes remained.

What is wrong with Xiao Guai recently?!

The same time at the northern mainland.

Screams and roars of demonic beasts echoed in an ethereal valley.

“What the fudge. Get the hell away. I’ll pull out your skin if you make a noise again!” The little white tiger hollered angrily.

Along with the little white tiger’s roar, the valley fell into a dead silence.

“What the fudge. You’re only coming now…”

The little white tiger mumbled and sprinted towards the valley ahead.

Thousands of meters away in a thatched house by a stream.

A gray-haired elderly was holding onto a fishing rod and fishing by the stream.

“What the fudgw… Grandson, grandfather is here!” The little white tiger shouted at the white-bearded elderly who was fishing by the stream.

“Hush… Keep quiet.” The white-bearded elderly looked at the little white tiger and shook his head, instructing the little white tiger to not make so much noise.

The moment he finished speaking, the white-bearded elderly flicked his wrist and lifted the fishing rod immediately, pulling a patterned fish out from the stream.

With a face full of smiles, the white-bearded elderly removed the fish from the fishing rod and handed it to the little white tiger. “It’s been a long time. Meeting gift.”

“What the fudge… Meeting gift?” The little white tiger stared at the patterned fish which was still alive and flopping about at its feet. “Are… are you serious?”

“Why? You don’t like it?” The white-bearded elderly chuckled. “This fish is called Jue Li. It’s materialized by the condensation of the Heavenly Cycle and is a condensation of a certain energy body.”

The little white tiger was stunned after hearing the white-bearded elderly and immediately swallowed the patterned fish without uttering a word further.

“What the fudge. Why are you so polite… We are so familiar already. Why did you give me such an expensive present…” After consuming the patterned fish, it evidently felt the energy in its body increase extensively, giving it the capital to save its life.

The white-bearded elderly did not respond and stood up to store his fishing rod away.

“What the fudge… This is strange. Are you human or not?” The little white tiger sized up the white-bearded elderly curiously.

“Why did you say that?” The white-bearded elderly sat down once again and asked with a smile.

“I’ve never seen anyone who can live for as long as you…” The little white tiger muttered.

Not long after it was born, it was acquainted with this white-bearded elderly. It had lived for thousands of years, yet this white-bearded elderly was still not dead.

“It does not matter how long one lives… Rather, has what I once told you about come true?” The white-bearded elderly looked at the little white tiger meaningfully.

Immediately, the little white tiger’s expression turned slightly solemn as it replied. “Your words indeed came true… That lady…”

“To save your father, your mother… your clan, you can only rely on her. However, she cannot do without your help in death tribulations after death tribulations,” the white-bearded elderly said with a smile.

811 - Blade _ 3

The little white tiger seemed to be in thought after listening to the white-bearded elderly’s words.

“My parents…”

A cold glint twinkled in the little white tiger’s eyes before a sense of loss filled his eyes right after. Subsequently, it turned into reverence and fear.

A presence which suppressed its entire clan was overly huge and scary, and the little white tiger was enveloped in terror every time it thought of it.

If not for the fact that its parents risked their lives to let it escape, its ending…

That presence was at a height that even Fiendcelestial Beasts could not reach.

Very quickly, the little white tiger restrained its emotions and looked at the white-bearded elderly, whose expression was calm. “Is what you said true?”

“What do you think?” The white-bearded elderly chuckled.

“What the heck. You’re really magical… I claim that there’s nothing I am unaware of, but you can tell the future. Have you heard that in this world, everything has its own destiny?” the little white tiger said.

“Destiny?” The elderly ran his fingers through his white beard and laughed lightly. “The so-called destiny is just empty talk. There’s nothing that cannot be changed.”

The little white tiger shook its head.

When it first met the white-bearded elderly thousands of years ago, he had already predicted what would happen to this day.

The little white tiger did not believe him originally, but looking at it now, he was truly magical.

“The current situation is a little complicated… That lady and the Demon God keep repeating the Heavenly Emperor’s route… There’s also a guide … I’m afraid I cannot prevent anything.” The little white tiger sighed after a long while.

The white-bearded elderly smiled. “You just need to do your best in blocking these death tribulations.”

Afterward, the white-bearded elderly looked up in the air and said, “Remember, nothing is destined. Anything that is destined is only so because the party involved has no ability to change it.”

“How I wish to reveal the truth entirely.” The little white tiger yawned.

The white-bearded elderly shook his head. “Some things still require the parties involved to explore and understand. If others explain entirely, it will definitely backfire and be self-defeating. Perhaps, it is impossible for death tribulations to be avoided, and even I have no means of changing it.”

“Damn. So troublesome.” The little white tiger sighed. Swinging its tail, it stood up and headed out of the valley. “I’m leaving. I’m afraid that she will be sad and cry when she can’t find me.”

The white-bearded elderly chuckled. Subsequently, his entire body became increasingly transparent until it turned into nothingness.

The night before Ye Qingtang and Master Du planned to head to the Dragon Vein, the little white tiger finally returned to the workshop.

The silver wolf glared at the little white tiger fiercely and bared its fangs.

“What the fudge. I’ll dig your eyeballs out if you look at me again!” The little white tiger barked.

As the little white tiger spoke, the silver wolf immediately turned its neck away and looked at another direction.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger and snickered. “Tell me. Where did you run off to?”

“I went to meet a great figure.” The little white tiger replied.

“Great figure? Which great figure?” Ye Qingtang went blank.

“I don’t know his name,” the little white tiger said after thinking.

No matter what, it was good that the little white tiger could return. Ye Qingtang was not bothered with it running away from home once in a while. Anyway, the silver wolf ran away from home frequently…

Before long, Ye Qingtang returned to her room to rest after finalizing the plan and deciding the time to head to the Dragon Vein with Master Du.

The little white tiger yawned and walked to the silver wolf’s side casually.

“Get lost.” Seeing that the silver wolf was so tactless, the little white tiger slapped the silver wolf several meters away and seized the silver wolf’s nest completely.
