Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

"Brat, Lord Cat is back! Aren’t you going to give me a warm welcome?" A familiar shout suddenly rang out just as Ye Wushuang was about to enter his cave residence.

Hearing the voice, Ye Wushuang didn’t even have to think. He knew exactly who it was. ’Only that creature, the Dragon Cat, could be so incredibly narcissistic!’

The group turned to look. The Dragon Cat was swaggering over. Qiu Mo and the others were stunned for a moment. ’This cat is so fat!’

But soon, Jian Bufan’s and Qiu Mo’s gazes shifted from the Dragon Cat to the person behind it. They saw a graceful figure slowly approaching.

Ye Wushuang sensed it too and fixed his gaze in that direction.

He saw a woman with skin as white as snow and a slender waist that looked as if it could be encircled by a single hand. Her beautiful legs were straight and long, almost rivaling Ye Rou’s!

What was even more peculiar was her silver hair and blue eyes. Her ears were slightly longer than an average person’s. From a distance, she looked like an Elf Fairy in the wind, captivating the hearts of all who saw her.

It was the first time Ye Wushuang had ever seen such a peculiar woman, and he was struck by her stunning beauty.

Jian Bufan, who perhaps knew her, smiled faintly.

The woman nodded at Jian Bufan as well, then turned to Ye Wushuang’s group.

"Senior Sister Qianling!" Yang Qing’er jogged over to her.

"Qianling, what are you doing here?" Ye Rou smiled faintly and walked toward the peculiar woman, clearly acquainted with her as well.

"The Dragon Cat said he missed Junior Brother Ye and wanted to come find him but couldn’t find the way. I happened to have some free time, so I brought him over," Qianling said with a light laugh, glancing at the Dragon Cat.

The Dragon Cat chuckled and walked over to Ye Wushuang’s side.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s mouth twitched. ’This creature, missing him? Yeah, right!’

Ye Wushuang didn’t know that from the moment the Dragon Cat had set foot on Purple Bamboo Peak, it had completely captured the hearts of all the young women there. It spent its days being cuddled in fragrant arms, surrounded by beauties, truly living a life of bliss.

Of course, what was truly exasperating was that this creature wasn’t there to enjoy the female company, but was single-mindedly eyeing the Spirit Medicine in the young women’s pockets.

In the few days it had been away from Ye Wushuang, this creature had used every trick in the book—scamming, cheating, and playing pitiful—to swindle all of their Spirit Medicine into its stomach.

And after it was done, it had planned to sneak away.

However, it had underestimated how fond the young women were of it. They refused to let it leave, trying everything they could think of to make it stay.

Left with no choice, the creature thought fast, pretending that it hadn’t seen Ye Wushuang in days and missed him dearly. It even put on a pitiful, heartbroken act to win the young women’s trust.

And so, Qianling had brought it to Broken Sword Peak.

"Hehe, brat, Lord Cat went through hell and high water to bring a beauty over for you. I’m pretty good to you, huh? Shouldn’t you be thanking Lord Cat?" the Dragon Cat said smugly, striking a pose as if demanding thanks from Ye Wushuang, completely oblivious to the concept of shame.

Ye Wushuang’s face darkened. ’I really want to send this creature flying with a kick!’

"Xiaoshuang, this is the First Senior Sister of our Purple Bamboo Peak, Qianling!" Ye Rou introduced with a gentle smile, holding Qianling’s hand as they walked over, appearing quite familiar with her.

Ye Wushuang snapped out of his thoughts and immediately called out, "Greetings, Senior Sister Qianling!"

Qianling sized up Ye Wushuang and said with a smile, "I’ve often heard people talk about Junior Brother Ye, which made me curious. Now that I’ve seen you today, you truly are extraordinary!"

"Senior Sister Qianling, you flatter me!"

Ye Wushuang offered a polite pleasantry before adding, "Let’s talk inside the cave residence!"

Hearing this, the group nodded and followed Ye Wushuang into the cave residence.

Although Ye Wushuang’s cave residence was simple and plain, it was tidy and clean, giving it a unique charm of its own.

After entering the cave residence and exchanging some pleasantries, the three women seemed to find a common topic and started chatting off to one side. This left Ye Wushuang, Jian Bufan, and Qiu Mo stunned, unable to get a word in. They could only smile wryly, inwardly sighing, ’Three women together is a show in itself!’

Jian Bufan averted his gaze and asked Ye Wushuang, "By the way, the Barbarian God Battle Platform is about to start. Are you going to participate?"

Ye Wushuang nodded!

He had already learned about the Barbarian God Battle Platform from Xiong Jiu. It was a grand event in the Endless Wilderness, and even the strongest disciples, like Mo Wentian, would participate. He wanted to go and see it for himself.

"I heard the Barbarian God’s Blessing might appear this time. I wonder if it’s true?" Qiu Mo said from the side. He too was very eager to see the Barbarian God Battle Platform.

The Barbarian God’s Blessing?

Ye Wushuang murmured to himself. The Barbarian God’s Blessing was a boost of Destiny from the Barbarian God Race, offering heaven-defying benefits!

However, such a gift was reserved for the Strongest Warrior.

And only the strongest disciples had a chance to contend for the title of Strongest Warrior. As for him, he hadn’t even reached the True Essence Realm yet. The gap between him and the strongest disciples was too vast. How could he possibly compete?

Even with bitter cultivation, it would be difficult to reach that level, because he didn’t have much time—only one year! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Brat, what Barbarian God’s Blessing? Don’t worry about it. Just follow Lord Cat. I’ll take you on a sweep through all the Secret Realms and ancient ruins in the Endless Wilderness. We’ll find all the peerless Divine Soldiers and Heaven-Defying Opportunities you could ever want," the Dragon Cat said lazily, a dismissive look on its face.

The others were left speechless. ’If peerless Divine Soldiers and Heaven-Defying Opportunities were that easy to find, would they still be called ’peerless’ and ’heaven-defying’?’

However, the Dragon Cat’s mention of the Endless Wilderness gave Ye Wushuang an idea. ’Bitter cultivation might not be enough, but training in the Endless Wilderness could speed up my progress.’

’Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to the Endless Wilderness,’ Ye Wushuang’s eyes flickered. ’First, I’ll raise my Cultivation to the True Essence Realm and get qualified to enter the Barbarian God Battle Platform.’

"I was just thinking the same thing!" Qiu Mo also said with a smile.

"By the way, is there anywhere in the Sect to forge weapons?" Ye Wushuang suddenly asked. His Fierce Lion Battle Saber had been blunted, and many of its Inscriptions were damaged, making it unusable. He urgently needed a new Battle Saber to channel his Saber Intent!

Before Jian Bufan or Qiu Mo could answer, Qianling turned her head from the side and suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Ye wants to forge a weapon?"

Ye Wushuang immediately replied, "I want to forge a Battle Saber. Does Senior Sister Qianling know a place?"

Qianling smiled. "I do know a place. I can take you there."

"Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Sister Qianling!" Ye Wushuang’s eyes lit up. With a new Battle Saber, his strength would increase significantly.

"Since everyone wants to go to the Endless Wilderness, let’s all go back and prepare," Jian Bufan said, getting up. The others nodded in agreement.

They then went their separate ways to prepare. Ye Wushuang also left his cave residence and followed Qianling to the base of Fengtian Peak.

Following Qianling, Ye Wushuang arrived at a valley.

This valley was called Juwang Valley!

From Qianling, Ye Wushuang also learned that the Sect’s Artifact Refining Master, the Craftsman Emperor, lived here.

Upon entering Juwang Valley, a scorching aura washed over them, mixed with the faint smell of rust.

Qianling explained, "There’s a vein of earthfire hidden beneath the valley, so the temperature here is higher than in most places."

"I see!"

Ye Wushuang had a sudden realization, his confusion dispelled.

Qianling smiled faintly and continued to lead Ye Wushuang to a house.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from inside the house: "Here to forge a weapon or to pick one up?"

"To forge a weapon!" Qianling called out with a smile, then led Ye Wushuang inside.

Inside the house was a short figure, perhaps only half of Ye Wushuang’s height, but his arms were muscular and looked extremely powerful.

A leather cloth was tied around his waist, and he was dressed like a blacksmith. He was examining an Iron Sword, but upon hearing Qianling’s voice, he put down the sword in his hand and turned around.

Only then did Ye Wushuang see that it was an old man.

The old man glanced at the smiling Qianling, then turned to Ye Wushuang and inquired, "You want to forge a weapon?"

Ye Wushuang had a faint guess as to the old man’s identity. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "This junior, Ye Wushuang, would like to ask Senior Craftsman Emperor to help me forge a Battle Saber."

"Forging a weapon is possible!" the old man said bluntly. "However, I have my conditions!"
