Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 746: Return to the Imperial Capital

During the journey in the Tianxuan Secret Realm, Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue underwent vast trials and challenges. However, Chu Nan was the one who benefited the most.

At first, Chu Nan did not have much expectation, believing it difficult to obtain opportunities in the Tianxuan Secret Realm.

Unexpectedly, he met Elder Tianxuan and learned from them the correct methods to wield Spirit Martial, as well as various techniques to control one's own power.

In a sense, Chu Nan had already stepped into the threshold of the Unity Realm, surpassing many Martial Artists.

With these techniques, even if he hadn't truly entered the Unity Realm, he already possessed the strength to slay a Peak Ninth Heaven Martial Artist.

Though there is still a long path to the Unity Realm, Chu Nan is confident that once the seal in the Celestial Crossing Realm is lifted, he will successfully cross this realm!

In this journey full of encounters and challenges, Chu Nan continually grew and broke through his own limits.

He knows well that the road ahead is rugged, but the conviction in his heart is like a bright lamp, illuminating the path forward.

As time goes by, Chu Nan will continue to diligently cultivate, exploring higher levels of martial arts, stepping towards the Unity Realm.

And in the days to come, what twists and turns will he experience? Let us wait and see…

Undoubtedly, Chu Nan's most treasured gain was Elder Tianxuan. You must know, Elder Tianxuan is a dignified Unity Realm Martial Artist!

Even though they cannot currently display the power expected of the Unity Realm, their status is not to be underestimated.

Once the cultivation restrictions on Martial Artists in the Celestial Crossing Realm are lifted, Elder Tianxuan will surely soar to great heights, becoming one of the top powerhouses.

With such a terrifying ally backing him, Chu Nan is full of confidence, convinced that he is enough to face any invading enemies.

Of course, if the Martial Artists from before the two realms split were to awaken and revive, this advantage might vanish instantly.

However, Chu Nan doesn't care, after all, only challenges bring him excitement and satisfaction.

Although the fierce battle outside the Tianxuan Secret Realm has come to an end, few knew about it.

The news that Emperor Qin personally took action was tightly sealed as soon as he stepped out of the Imperial Palace. As for his defeat, it is even more impossible for outsiders to know.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that Ji Shen Technique's defeat wasn't widely spread, he paid an extremely painful price for it.

The several Ninth Heaven Martial Artists he had been meticulously cultivating in secrecy were all slaughtered by Chu Nan and Elder Tianxuan!

Even the affluent and deeply rooted Royal Family felt tremendous heartache at such a significant loss of Ninth Heaven Martial Artists at once.

You must know, successfully cultivating a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist requires not just finding a person of exceptional talent but also consuming numerous precious resources.

These Ninth Heaven Martial Artists were the key pillars allowing the Ji family to firmly hold the Imperial Capital, also used to obliterate other powerful clans.

Now all of them were killed by Chu Nan, coupled with the defeat in the Dragon Slaying Tower contest, this made Ji Shen Technique loathe Chu Nan to the core.

However, Chu Nan at this moment felt immensely thrilled. He returned to the Ancestor Sect with Elder Tianxuan and introduced this new ally to Lu Daochang.

Yet he didn't disclose any information about Elder Tianxuan's background, not out of distrust towards Lu Daochang but mainly due to concerns about eavesdroppers around, which might leak this secret.

When Lu Daochang saw Elder Tianxuan, he couldn't help but feel a surge of intense shock.

Clearly, everyone is a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist, yet Lu Daochang could sense an exceptionally terrifying power from Elder Tianxuan.

He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, "Every time Chu Nan ventures out, he seems to bring me some unexpected surprises."

"Could it be that he's brought back another monster this time!" Lu Daochang didn't suspect Elder Tianxuan to be a Martial Artist existing before the two realms split, after all, such thoughts were too ridiculous and shocking.

He just regarded Elder Tianxuan as an adept hermit master, unrecognized and hidden from the world.

You must know, Lu Daochang's own cultivation is extremely profound, so naturally, he is aware of many secrets unknown to others.

He knows well that in the Celestial Crossing Realm, there is a group of exceedingly powerful Martial Artists, some of whom have even reached the pinnacle of Ninth Heaven.

These individuals are always elusive, devoting themselves day and night to finding a way across the Endless Sea of Suffering. Yet, to this day, they haven't found a satisfactory answer.

Lu Daochang pondered that Elder Tianxuan might very well come from the borderlands of the Endless Sea of Suffering. The reason he obtained the Suffering Crossing Ship might be because of this.

With the Suffering Crossing Ship, he can easily traverse the Endless Sea of Suffering and choose to leave at any time.

However, the reason Lu Daochang hasn't left yet is not merely reluctance towards the Ancestor Sect and family Martial Artists.

More importantly, he must constantly be wary of those seeking methods to cross the sea, stationed in the Endless Sea of Suffering.

Although these Martial Artists don't meddle in the disputes among the major powers in the Celestial Crossing Realm, once they discover someone has mastered a Supreme Treasure capable of crossing the sea, they will surely go into a frenzy, becoming the biggest obstacle to Lu Daochang realizing his goals.

To prevent his grand plan from failing, Lu Daochang knows he must initiate reconnaissance actions in advance.

Only by finding an uninhabited sea coast, sneaking across, and waiting until the Suffering Crossing Ship lands in the sea, can he escape their entanglement.

As Elder Tianxuan appeared, besides bringing shock to Lu Daochang, a surge of vigilance arose in his heart.

He felt uneasy, fearing that Chu Nan might reveal the secret of the Suffering Crossing Ship to Elder Tianxuan, which would have unimaginable consequences!

Lu Daochang's concern was not unfounded; for him at this moment, escaping the Celestial Crossing Realm is of utmost importance.

He will not tolerate anyone or anything obstructing his plan.

Chu Nan keenly sensed Lu Daochang's cautious mood, so he smiled slightly and said softly, "Sect Leader, there is no need to worry, Elder Tianxuan is indeed our most solid and reliable ally."

Upon hearing this, Lu Daochang's expression changed slightly, a hint of curiosity surfacing in his heart.

You must know, Elder Tianxuan is merely at the pinnacle of Ninth Heaven, even if exceptionally strong, still on the same level as Chu Nan.

Now even if Chu Nan faces Elder Tianxuan directly, he no longer needs to present himself as a junior, even directly changing to calling himself Sect Leader.

And Lu Daochang never considered Chu Nan as a junior, only respectfully addressing him as Elder True Martial, mostly a relation of equals.
