Ye Tian slowly circulated the Dragon Spiritual Power within his body, letting it course through his meridians. His battle with Qin Lin had greatly improved his practical combat experience and given him a much deeper understanding of the power of the One Vein Seventh Layer.
The effects of the Spirit Revitalizing Pill that Ye Weitian had given him had long been absorbed. The pill's effects hadn't actually healed Ye Tian's injuries; instead, they had transformed into Energy and merged with his Dragon Spiritual Power.
Ye Tian now felt that he might break through the One Vein Seventh Layer in just a short while. The speed of his progress was truly too fast—so fast it scared him a little. If one's Mental Realm was insufficient, such a rapid increase in power could easily lead to cultivation deviation.
After casting aside his distracting thoughts, Ye Tian circulated his Dragon Spiritual Power for three full Circulations before stopping. By now, his injuries had completely healed, and he felt full of life and energy once more.
Opening his eyes, he glanced out the window. There was still some time before nightfall, so Ye Tian unsheathed the Black Glaze Sword for a closer look.
The Black Glaze Sword showed no changes, although it did seem much lighter than before. He recalled the dazzling white light it had emitted during his fight with Qin Lin and how it had moved beyond his control, a phenomenon that left him deeply puzzled.
'This Black Glaze Sword seems to have a life of its own. What's going on? And what was that Dragon-shaped Mark that appeared on my palm? Don't tell me the Black Glaze Sword is connected to the Dragon Race?' Ye Tian wondered.
"Kid, you've guessed right! I never expected you'd get a chance to obtain this sword. It just goes to show how incredibly lucky you are! I really didn't choose the wrong person!" The voice of the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul suddenly echoed in his mind.
Ye Tian was instantly overjoyed. He desperately needed answers to so many questions, and for the soul to appear now was more than he could have hoped for.
"Senior, what's the deal with the Black Glaze Sword? And what was that Dragon-shaped Mark on my palm?" Ye Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Want to know the answers? I don't feel like telling you right now. I'd hate to frighten you!" the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul laughed.
Ye Tian's expression immediately soured. This guy was actually trying to keep him in suspense! From its tone, however, he could tell that the Black Glaze Sword was no simple item. Anything that an ancient War Dragon expert would praise was certain to be extraordinary.
'Perhaps this sword's grade has already surpassed that of a Spiritual Artifact and reached the level of a Treasure Artifact, or maybe even higher. I don't even dare to imagine how much higher.'
"Senior, I'm brave enough, just tell me! If I don't get the answers, I'll be thinking about it all day. It will seriously affect my Cultivation, and I might even suffer a cultivation deviation! You don't want to see that happen to me, do you?" Ye Tian said hurriedly.
"Kid, I know exactly what you're thinking. Don't you have an appointment tonight? They will give you the answers. Of course, they don't know everything either. After they've told you what they know, I'll explain the rest in detail," said the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul.
"You know about them? Does that mean you've been awake all along?" Ye Tian asked at once, surprised that it was aware of everything he was doing.
"I was just resting with my eyes closed. Of course I'm aware of your affairs. I just don't want to meddle, unless you're in true mortal danger.
"However, there is one thing I need to tell you. You aren't the only one in Lisha City with a Dragon Pearl in your body. That little girl from the Qin Family should have one too. But it's not a War Dragon Pearl; it's likely a Silver Dragon or a Cyan Dragon Pearl," said the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul.
Ye Tian was shocked to hear this. 'The little girl from the Qin Family? That must be the Qin Xiaowan that Ye Feifei mentioned.' He just hadn't noticed her while he was fighting Qin Lin.
'Ye Feifei said that this Qin Xiaowan is also one of Lisha City's beauties. If she has a Dragon Pearl in her body, why hasn't she become the number one expert among the younger generation in Lisha City?'
"Stop guessing. The Dragon Pearl in her body is most likely sealed. The seal won't break unless her Power Level is high enough. If I weren't inside you, it would take you a very, very long time to be able to use the Energy from your Dragon Pearl as well," said the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul.
Ye Tian wasn't a fool; he understood the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul's words perfectly. 'I really am incredibly lucky. Without the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul, my power would have only reached the Fourth Layer at most.'
Night slowly fell. Ye Tian quietly left the Ye Mansion and sped toward the back mountain. As he raced along, he checked to see if anyone was following him. After all, he was now a prominent figure in Lisha City; it would be troublesome if he were targeted by someone with ill intentions.
After arriving at the back mountain, Ye Tian walked slowly through the woods. He didn't know the exact meeting spot, so he could only search for it bit by bit.
Before long, the middle-aged man's voice reached his ears. "You're an hour later than I expected. It seems you're quite cautious!"
Ye Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw two middle-aged men in a clearing not far from the woods. For a moment, he felt very confused.
He walked over anyway. "Ye Tian greets you, Seniors!" He knew that anyone accompanying the middle-aged man must also be an incredibly powerful expert; he just wondered where the little snake had gone.
The two men glanced at Ye Tian, then did something that Ye Tian found hard to accept. They both knelt before him at the same time and said in unison, "Your subordinates greet the Young Master!"
"Young Master? What's going on?" Ye Tian was completely stunned. 'Why are these two calling me Young Master? I really don't get it.'
Seeing the confused look on Ye Tian's face, the middle-aged man who had been the slovenly old man said, "We know this is hard for you to accept, but it is the truth. You must have many questions in your heart, but there are some things we must tell you."
"Who are you people? Why are you calling me Young Master? And what's the deal with the Black Glaze Sword? What's this Dragon-shaped Mark on my hand?" Ye Tian asked.
"Young Master, the Cyan Snake and I are from the Shen Li Palace. My name is Zhang Fengyu, and everyone usually calls the Cyan Snake Elder Qing! We have been searching for you for many years," the middle-aged man said.
"Shen Li Palace? I've never even heard of Shen Li Palace. Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person? And you said he's the Cyan Snake? He can transform into a human?" Ye Tian said in astonishment, taking an involuntary step back.
"That's right. He is the Cyan Snake you met. He just hadn't transformed at the time, for fear of scaring you! We do not have the wrong person! Because you are the only one who has ever been able to draw the Black Glaze Sword!" the middle-aged man, Zhang Fengyu, said.
"So you're saying that whoever draws the Black Glaze Sword is your Young Master, is that right?" Ye Tian seemed to understand a little.
"Correct. But under normal circumstances, there is only one person who can draw the Black Glaze Sword, and only one person who can truly wield it!" Zhang Fengyu said with great solemnity…
