The Ye Race was in ruins.

The horrific scene was still vivid in their minds.

Ye Tianxi sighed. As she recounted the events of that day, she searched through the broken Qiankun Rings that hadn’t been completely incinerated, found several Projection Stones, and activated one to display the scene it held.

The moment Ye Cangqian, Ye Wuhen, and Ye Cangkun descended and annihilated the Ye Race was displayed once more.

Although they already knew the truth was exactly as Ye Tianxi had described, after seeing the scene recorded on the Projection Stone, it wasn’t just Ye Yuemei—even Yun Zhiruo was seething with rage.

"They’re animals! Complete demons! No, they’re more venomous and sinister than any demon! Those three—Ye Cangqian, Ye Wuhen, and Ye Cangkun—deserve the worst kind of death!"

she cursed, utterly enraged.

Ye Tianxi suppressed her frenzied killing intent, using extreme anguish to restrain the hatred that threatened to erupt. She gave a bitter sigh. "So, that’s why my inheritance process was suddenly interrupted, and I fell into a berserk state.

"Brother Tianling placed the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden on me precisely to protect me. I’m grateful to him, and I could never blame him for it.

"Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If I can’t even distinguish right from wrong in this, how could I face my grandfather, my parents, and my little sister who all died?"

Ye Tianxi’s emotional appeal directly stirred deep pity in the hearts of Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo.

"Tianxi, you’ve suffered so much. When Brother Tianling recovers and comes back, he’ll definitely help you remove it."

Ye Yuemei said, her voice choked with emotion.

She was devastated by her own father’s tragic death, but she was equally grief-stricken for the people of the Ye Race and for what Ye Tianxi had ’endured’.

Yun Zhiruo felt much the same.

After paying their respects to the fallen members of the Ye Race, erecting gravestones for them, and holding another sorrowful vigil, the three of them finally made their way to the Forbidden Land in the mountains behind the Ye estate.

"Let’s go to the Cold Pool beneath Forbidden Moon Cliff; it wasn’t destroyed. There, I will pass the Nirvana Nine Transformations technique on to you.

"You must cooperate with me, and please don’t refuse. I’m afraid that if my hatred triggers my rage again, I’ll go berserk. I might do something unimaginable, and you definitely wouldn’t be able to stop me.

"If you understand the nature of my cultivation technique, you’ll know its characteristics, and it will be much easier for you to help me then.

"The Nirvana Nine Transformations is a type of Nirvana Technique. It makes one practically undying and immortal, fearless of injury. In fact, as long as you aren’t annihilated outright, you can die once and your power will double!"

Ye Tianxi first spoke of her need for help before mentioning the benefits of the technique.

Just as she’d planned, this successfully captured the interest of Yun Zhiruo and Ye Yuemei.

Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo already saw Ye Tianxi as a true sister. The three of them were as close as could be, so naturally, they had no reservations.

So, Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo began to cooperate as Ye Tianxi instructed.

At first, Ye Tianxi didn’t employ any special methods, merely infusing her awakened Immortal Phoenix Bloodline into Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo’s bodies.

Gradually, their strength increased significantly, and their innate talents seemed to be stimulated as well.

But then, as Ye Tianxi’s power invaded their souls, the feeling of being shackled gradually emerged.

In the beginning, although they felt something was off, neither Ye Yuemei nor Yun Zhiruo grew suspicious.

But by the time they realized something was terribly wrong, it was already too late.

"VMMM—"

"Now, be my puppets! The Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden? I’ll drive my soul into your bodies, and you’ll be afflicted by it too! You will suffer with me, you will share my torment!"

Ye Tianxi suddenly let out a crazed, vicious laugh.

"You—you—"

Ye Yuemei cried out in alarm, but in the next instant, her soul was violently shaken, and she nearly fainted on the spot.

Yun Zhiruo’s situation was almost identical.

"Excellent. Now, using my Nirvana Technique, I will strip away your emotions and brainwash you. From this day forward, Ye Tianling is your enemy! He killed your father, your mother, annihilated your race, and murdered your Master! He is a peerless Great Demon. When you see him, you must kill him by any means necessary!"

Ye Tianxi’s eyes were exceptionally vicious.

However, as she did this, the power of the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden’s shackles erupted. The force of the shackles—a power of order resembling a thunderous purple flame—made her body twist in agony.

She roared and struggled, Nirvana Flames bursting continuously from her body, but it was all to no avail. It had no effect on the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden whatsoever!

After a long time, as her venomous heart gradually calmed, the horrifying torment of the Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden also began to fade.

"AGHHH—"

she shrieked, her entire being seemingly transformed into that of a peerless demon.

Ye Yuemei and Yun Zhiruo had already fallen prey to her scheme. They stood frozen in place as if stupefied, like two true puppets, utterly devoid of emotion.

The two of them stood silently, their bodies stiff and rigid, their eyes exceptionally vacant.

’No, this Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden must be removed... It’s too painful. At this rate, I can’t cultivate or make any progress!’

Ye Tianxi’s eyes turned cold. After calming down, she made several attempts but found it impossible to break the terrifying Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden.

Finally, she thought of Long Fengyang.

’Long Fengyang’s situation must be terrible right now... If I rescue him and help him deal with the Hidden Dragon Shackles... perhaps we can work together.’

An unnatural, blood-red flame flickered in Ye Tianxi’s eyes. Her realm had undergone another powerful transformation, and the aura of a Celestial Tribulation was already beginning to gather above her head.

...

The domain of the Cyan Dragon Clan had grown desolate and bleak. The place resembled an ancient, somber battlefield, stripped of its former glory.

Ye Tianxi drew upon the legacy of the Immortal Phoenix Peacock, using the Five-Colored Divine Light Talent Skill to traverse the void and arrive at the Nine Swords Sect.

From there, she used a Teleportation Array in the Nine Swords Sect’s Cloud Mist Mountain Range to transport herself to the Cyan Dragon Race’s territory, where she witnessed the desolate scene before her.

That Teleportation Array had been shut down, but for Ye Tianxi, who possessed an ancient legacy and even held an Immortal Phoenix Peacock’s Secret Realm within her body, it was not a major issue.

With a flicker, Ye Tianxi transformed, taking on the appearance and aura of Long Qianying. She then flew directly toward the core of the Cyan Dragon Race’s domain.

The Transformation Technique of the Nirvana Nine Transformations was incredibly profound; for a short period, it was unlikely to reveal any flaws.

"Qianying Saint Master."

As Ye Tianxi flew over in the guise of Long Qianying, members of the Dragon Race would occasionally bow in salute, their attitude proper and deeply respectful.

"Mm."

Ye Tianxi responded softly, her tone haughty.

At the same time, she released her spiritual senses and began to investigate her surroundings carefully.

Her powerful Five-Colored Divine Light talent spread out like shadows of light, sinking into the void.

Soon, she sensed the aura of the Ancestral Dragon Abyss.

’In the Ancestral Dragon Abyss? That makes things easier.’

Her inherited memories had granted Ye Tianxi a great deal of knowledge.

Thus, Ye Tianxi entered the Ancestral Dragon Abyss with great ease.
