Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 722 722: Communication Across Time

Upon awakening, he had already absorbed a vast amount of precious natural treasures, so there was no need for him to slaughter others to replenish his vitality.

Furthermore, from his demeanor and actions, this person didn't seem like the type who would resort to the soul-searching technique over trivial matters.

Of course, perhaps it was because the difference in power levels was too vast, or maybe the other party was simply too well-disguised, that Chu Nan couldn't sense any hostility from him.

Thus, Chu Nan decided to set an example first, and he spoke, "Before questioning others, shouldn't one introduce themselves first?"

"Is addressing a question directly a custom among you so-called ancient martial artists?"

His tone was far from polite, clearly a probing attempt.

If this mysterious Unity Realm expert complied and answered, that would be ideal, but if he got angry over such a small matter...

Chu Nan would not hesitate to leave with his people.

This person was a Unity Realm expert, and even if suppressed to a Ninth-Level Martial Artist now, his strength was likely still above Lu Daochang and Emperor Qin!

This was the terrifying power and rich combat experience possessed by Unity Realm martial artists.

The mysterious Unity Realm martial artist chuckled softly, secretly finding Chu Nan's demeanor rather intriguing.

Although he was just a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist practicing a Ninth-Level Secret Technique, facing a Unity Realm expert, he showed no fear at all, instead maintaining a poised and composed manner.

Especially upon noticing that the other party was not yet twenty years old, which surprised this Unity Realm martial artist even more.

Such youth, able to achieve perfect harmony between soul and body.

This indicated that the young man before him was genuinely a young genius, not a vessel for some ancient monster.

"So young to reach such a level, if it were before the realms split, he would have been taken in as a disciple by a supreme power."

"Taught the best secret techniques for strengthening the Sea of Clouds."

"But now, such a genius can only, like me, resort to practicing this lowest-grade Ninth-Level Secret Technique."

With a hint of mockery in the admiration, the mysterious Unity Realm martial artist inwardly scoffed, then said, "Indeed, I've been rash."

"Then allow me to introduce myself." Though his voice was not loud, it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I am an inner sect disciple of the Ninth Level Mystery Sect, called Tianxuan." After these words were spoken, the atmosphere around grew instantly heavy.

"A Unity Realm martial artist can be addressed as 'Real Person', you may refer to me as Tianxuan Real Person."

Tianxuan Real Person's tone was calm, yet the majesty within left no room for any slights.

"I've introduced myself, you should answer my question about your identities."

The mysterious Unity Realm martial artist, Tianxuan Real Person, spoke slowly.

His gaze swept over the crowd as if he could see through their inner thoughts.

At the moment his words fell, the entire secret realm seemed to resonate, as if welcoming its master.

However, Chu Nan's brows furrowed slightly.

He realized that the martial artist identifying himself as Tianxuan came from the Ninth Level Mystery Sect, a sect with high status and formidable power in the cultivation realm.

Chu Nan contemplated quietly, unsure of Tianxuan Real Person's true intentions for being here.

Yet from the other party's demeanor, he didn't seem benevolent.

He decided to wait and see how events would unfold.

Meanwhile, he pondered how he should respond to any potential crises.

After all, in this world filled with danger and opportunity, a moment's carelessness could lead to total ruin.

Though he had never heard of this sect before, merely from its name, one could infer that the sect likely specialized in the mysterious Ninth Level Cultivation Method.

"From this, it's deduced that the Celestial Crossing Realm's current state has countless ties to the Ninth Level Mystery Sect."

With this thought, Chu Nan replied to Tianxuan Real Person's inquiry:

"Since the split of the two realms, the Qin Kingdom has dominated the Celestial Crossing Realm, and I am a martial artist of Qin Kingdom."

"Currently, I serve as True Martial Elder of the Ancestor Sect, Chu Nan."

"These two are my fellow sisters."

"To this day, nearly ten thousand years have passed since the two realms' division."

"I've answered your question, now please tell me, why have you awoken now?"

The information Chu Nan revealed was the kind of thing external parties would be aware of, and Tianxuan Real Person could easily obtain these details.

However, regarding Tianxuan Real Person's situation, Chu Nan was entirely in the dark.

Therefore, he could use these trivial details to exchange for truly valuable information.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tianxuan Real Person had similar thoughts.

The information he could disclose to Chu Nan was practically insignificant, so he could reveal it effortlessly.

"I was commanded by my sect elders to develop this secret realm, seal myself within, and await destined individuals to retrieve the Ninth Level Cultivation Method heritage."

"Without unforeseen events, someone will indeed claim my heritage when this secret realm opens, and I would have awakened in a more distant future."

"However, your rash actions disturbed my slumber, forcing me to awaken prematurely."

"The power of suppression in the world still exists, making it difficult for me to restore my previous cultivation."

"If I can't wait out the dissipating of the suppression, wouldn't I die of old age in the Celestial Crossing Realm, thanks to your deeds!"

Tianxuan Real Person's tone carried a trace of resentment; clearly, in his expectations, he shouldn't have awakened at this moment.

Yet Chu Nan gleaned much from Tianxuan Real Person's few words.

Firstly, the secret realm is the slumbering ground of ancient martial artists, and each secret realm, opened or unopened, could house an old monster like Tianxuan Real Person!

Secondly, Tianxuan Real Person had full awareness of the power of suppression and seemed to know why he couldn't return to the Unity Realm.

Lastly, this power of suppression might be intricately connected to Tianxuan Real Person or the Ninth Level Mystery Sect behind him.

From Tianxuan Real Person's tone, it seemed as though this power of suppression might eventually dissipate.

"If that's the case, each secret realm most likely harbors strong individuals, hibernating like great beasts, using the secret realm's power for slumber to enhance their cultivation."

"The Ninth Level Mystery Sect, having passed down the Ninth Level Cultivation Method post-split in the Celestial Crossing Realm, evidently views the realm as a nurturing bed for its cultivation techniques!!"

Thoughts raced through Chu Nan's mind, and since the realms' separation, Celestial Crossing Realm was enshrouded in a veil of mystery.

And with this Tianxuan Real Person's awakening, the mysterious veil of ten thousand years was lifted.

Chu Nan faintly sensed that Celestial Crossing Realm was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Perhaps lurking in the shadows, there was an unimaginably formidable force closely watching everything.
