Chapter 484: 480: Ling Yue_1

Yingbao has reached the Body Integration Realm in her cultivation base, and even though she is only using ordinary stealth magic artifacts, those below the state of Body Integration are still unable to detect her.

Fairy Bilian, on the other hand, is at Emergence Stage, and with Yingbao’s level now a whole realm higher, it means she could kill Fairy Bilian as easily as flipping over her hand.

Chen Shuang quickly arrived at the opulent Cultivation Building and stepped inside.

Although this was an inn, it was of high standing, catering only to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or higher, and its daily accommodations were also quite expensive.

Chen Shuang approached one of the suites and told everyone else to wait at the entrance while she knocked on the door.

With the barriers released, Chen Shuang entered the room and saw Fairy Bilian leaning on a soft pillow, chatting with someone else on a Jade Brand.

This Jade Brand was quite miraculous; once one inputs the breath into the Jade Brand, imagery can be projected when the two users are communicating with each other.

Chen Shuang also wanted a Jade Brand like this, but it was quite expensive, and as a direct descendant of the fifth elder, she also couldn’t afford it.

“Fourth Elder, I saw Chen Shuyuan in the city,” informed Chen Shuang cautiously.

Chen Tiantian looked at her dismissively, put the Jade Brand away, and asked, “Where is she? Did you bring her?”

“I didn’t bring her.” Chen Shuang said shamefully. “Chen Shuyuan’s cultivation base suddenly rose dramatically, now looks like she is in the Late Jiedan Stage, she must have encountered some grand opportunity.”

“Oh?” Chen Tiantian seems interested when she heard about the opportunity, “What kind of opportunity could allow a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to rise up to Jiedan Stage in just a month?”

Chen Shuang blinked and mysteriously said, “Fourth Elder, I suspect it has something to do with the disappearance of our family’s Spirit Vein.”

Chen Tiantian squints her eyes, “In that case, the one who stole the Spirit Vein might also be in Qinglong City.”

“Indeed!” Chen Shuang nodded heavily, “The way Chen Shuyuan is behaving so fearlessly, she might be having an affair with that thief!”

Chen Tiantian frowned and glanced at Chen Shuang. “You go out first, I need to find some help.”

“Yes!” Chen Shuang left the room.

Chen Tiantian picked up the Jade Brand, and just as she was about to touch it, her head suddenly flew off.

Her eyes wide with astonishment, she saw a dark shadow standing in front of her, holding a long sword.

Yingbao grabbed the fleeing spirit and sealed it in a transparent bottle, throwing it into her storage bag.

With a wave of her hand, a golden fragment flew out from the headless body and fell into her palm.

A cleaning spell hit the golden fragment, turning it into a streak of flowing light that flew into Yingbao’s eyes.

Immediately, her cultivation base soared again, breaking through the barrier of the Body Integration Realm and advancing directly into the Mahayana Realm.

With only one step left to becoming an Immortal, an ascendant of the Mahayana Realm stood before her now.

Yingbao then looked over the entire Cultivation Building with her divine sense.

With a sweep of her sleeve, Yingbao sent Chen Tiantian’s corpse and belongings into her storage bag, and then disappeared instantly.

A moment later, Yingbao appeared at a cliff.

With a pointed finger, a cave appeared in the cliff face.

She flew into the cave and set up a barrier at the entrance, taking out the Mirror of Samsara and instructed, “Take me to the top-grade Spirit Vein of Wuji Sect.”

Half a moment later, Yingbao and Xuanwu appeared in a spacious cave filled with Spirit Stones.

These diamond-shaped Spirit Stones, big and small, seemed to grow on the cave walls, emitting a radiant glow.

Suddenly, a very familiar aura reached her, making Yingbao’s heart jolt.

This was… the aura of the Mother Goddess!

Xuanwu also felt it and hurriedly rushed towards the depths of the cave.

At the deepest part of the cave was an expansive area filled with all kinds of Spiritual Crystal Stones. In the middle of the cave was a gigantic Crystal Stone Pool. The radiant Crystal Stones resembled immortal flowers, filling up the entire pool.

However, in the middle of the pool was an enormous pillar that pierced the roof of the cave, and an elegant transparent dragon was coiled around it.

Yingbao watched as the dragon’s tail was nailed under the pillar.

“Mother God!” She recognized that the transparent Dragon Spirit was actually the Dragon God, who was her birth mother.

The giant dragon slowly turned its head. When it saw Yingbao, it began to struggle violently.

But whenever it moved, the pillar would emit runes, tightly adhering the dragon’s body to the stone pillar.

Tears streamed down Yingbao’s face. She wanted to come to the rescue but was blocked by Xuanwu. “There’s a powerful magic-taboo there. If you go, you’ll surely share the Dragon God’s fate.”

The Dragon God seemed to realize something and gradually calmed down.

It looked at Yingbao with a worried expression, wanting to say something, but can’t.

After some thought, Yingbao took out the Reincarnation Mirror and forcefully threw it towards the Dragon God.

The Dragon God’s eyes brightened, and it swallowed the mirror.

This mirror was an ancient divine artifact, capable of travelling through the Ten Thousand Worlds, twisting time and space. It could solve any magic formation.

After the Dragon God swallowed the mirror, the magic formation sealing her started to distort. It wouldn’t be long until she could escape.

Yingbao looked hopefully at the Mother God, when she suddenly felt something slowly approaching from behind.

Spinning around, the God Scythe in her hand came slashing down.

However, a spell came flying, not only dispelling her God Scythe attack but also blasting Yingbao away, throwing her into the Crystal Stone Pool.

The hidden dragon formation inside the Crystal Stone Pool slowly activated, and countless runes tightly entwined Yingbao.

Xuanwu grew angry. Suddenly, his body grew exponentially, like a small mountain, and slapped at the person with one claw.

The assailant dodged, her silver-white skirt fluttering, and her pure white hair flowed around her like silk.

A smile appeared on her stunning face as she waved her sleeve, and an exquisite pagoda appeared.

“Collect!” The woman yelled sweetly, and the exquisite pagoda emitted a dazzling light. Xuanwu was sucked in instantly.

Then she looked at Yingbao with a smile and said softly, “You are my sister’s daughter?”

Yingbao looked back at her coldly, “And who are you?”

The woman covered her mouth and laughed, “I am your aunt. Didn’t your mother tell you? Oh, my mistake, you were still in the egg when your mother died.”

Yingbao frowned at the woman, but she detected her own blood scent from her.

She suddenly remembered Xuanwu’s words. Xiao Mo used to bleed herself every once in a while to save a mortal woman—that woman must be the person standing before her.

“I remember now, you must be Ling Yue.” Yingbao said coldly, “The traitor who betrayed the dragon clan.”

Ling Yue was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “Right, the world needs only one of me. What use are so many dragons? If they can’t serve me, they’re better off dead. In death, they can bless the Fairy World and provide mystic fate for cultivators.”

Yingbao suppressed her anger and asked, “Ling Yue, my mother personally trained you to be the future Dragon God. Why did you harm her?”

She recalled what Xuanwu told her. After hatching Yingbao, the Mother God planned to take her on a tour of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and had already chosen a successor. She planned to train her to be the next Dragon God. But then, something unexpected happened. The Mother God had no choice but to extract Yingbao’s soul from the egg and send it to the mortal world for reincarnation using the Reincarnation Mirror.

Looking back, Ling Yue must have been the one the Mother God was grooming, and she was the family member the Mother God least guarded against. That’s why she was caught off guard, accidentally falling into the God Slaying Formation. Otherwise, the Mother God, being so powerful, couldn’t possibly have lost to those scumbags.

Ling Yue’s face grew cold, and her beautiful eyes narrowed. “The position of Dragon God is originally mine. Who does your mother think she is, to need her to cultivate me?”

She looked up at the Dragon Spirit on the pillar, her smile dazzling. “Once I absorb your mother’s Dragon Spirit, I will be able to smoothly ascend as the Dragon God. This is what your mother should do for me.”

Ling Yue’s beautiful eyes turned, her hands forming seals, and covering the Dragon Spirit.

The vital energy from the Dragon Spirit was slowly drawn out and entered Ling Yue’s mouth.

Yingbao’s eyes widened in anger. Her powerful spirit suddenly sprang out from Chen Shuyuan’s body. As her hand extended, the God Scythe appeared in her palm.

At this point, a brilliant light flashed by. The Dragon God’s spirit was freed from the pillar and rushed towards her daughter.
