Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 791 791: Shockwaves in the Imperial Capital

After the battle in the Endless Sea of Suffering, the Royal Family and the Strong Race became utterly debilitated.

They shut their palace gates tightly, and few dared to venture outside. The formidable power demonstrated by Chu Nan and the Tianxuan True Person left them shocked and fearful.

Especially Chu Nan's astonishing growth rate, which plunged them into deep panic.

The Strong Race would shiver upon seeing Chu Nan, even though they were one of the top forces in the Imperial Capital, their foundation was still too shallow compared to the Royal Family, and no powerful figure within the family could awaken.

Thus, they had no choice but to tightly bind themselves with the Royal Family, seeking some comfort.

Within the Imperial Palace, Ji Qinghuo returned immediately to the site of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi to heal his injuries after sustaining severe wounds.

Under the palace, Ji Qinghuo devoured the Dragon Qi, his whole body glowing with golden light.

With the help of some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Ji Qinghuo's severed limbs had mostly recovered, and his body was complete, though internal injuries remained.

However, with the power of the Dragon Qi, his internal injuries were healing at a rate ten times faster than before, which amazed Ji Qinghuo, who was absorbing the Earth Vein Dragon Qi for the first time.

"Is this the Earth Vein Dragon Qi? I thought it existed only in legends, but I didn't expect it to be even more miraculous than the rumors."

Ji Qinghuo, astonished, looked at his own body. Although his face was somewhat pale, it was much better than when he had fled from the Endless Sea of Suffering.

"The Earth Vein Dragon Qi is one of the most mysterious forces in the world. It contains endless vitality and Spiritual Energy, nourishing all things and allowing life to ascend." Ji Shen Technique explained slowly.

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Ji Qinghuo's eyes.

Although he knew something about the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, he had never imagined it to be so magical.

"The reason the Ji family could become the strongest force in the lower realm after the split of the two regions is because they possess the Earth Vein Dragon Qi."

Ji Shen Technique slowly explained to Ji Qinghuo.

Ji Qinghuo nodded in agreement.

With the two regions split and the world changing, in the absence of martial artists from the Uniting One Realm, the Ji family, mastering the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, indeed far surpassed all other forces.

"I see, no wonder we chose to move the family's sleeping Secret Realm here after we went into slumber." Ji Qinghuo sighed.

Ji Qinghuo took a deep breath, feeling the rich Spiritual Energy and Earth Vein Dragon Qi around him.

He could feel his body continuously absorbing this energy, as if trying to integrate them into every cell.

Compared to Ji Qinghuo, Ji Shen Technique's injuries were noticeably lighter, thus his recovery speed was faster, and in no time, he returned to his peak state.

Moreover, he even made some breakthroughs, and his strength became more refined than before.

Although Ji Qinghuo had not fully recovered, his cultivation was originally stronger than Ji Shen Technique's.

So, during the process of absorbing the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, his perception was much more profound than Ji Shen Technique's.

The power of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi is manifested not only in cultivation and combat strength.

It also carried an ethereal blessing of fortune.

Relying on the protection of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, the Ji family could quickly rise after the split of the two regions, unify the Celestial Crossing Realm, and become the undisputed strongest family.

As long as the Earth Vein Dragon Qi was utilized well, even if the Ji family was defeated countless times, they could find a lifeline and ultimately achieve the greatest victory!

After realizing the benefits brought by the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, Ji Qinghuo even considered switching to cultivate the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, but he was different from Ji Shen Technique.

His Sea of Clouds had already united, making conversion extremely difficult, not something that could be achieved overnight.

For now, all Ji Qinghuo could do was to supplementally cultivate the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, slowly transitioning the power.

"Given the turbulent times, all the sleeping Uniting One Realm martial artists need to awaken. Our Ji family alone is not enough; we need more Uniting One Realm martial artists to safeguard this Dragon Vein."

Ji Qinghuo looked at the scene before him and sighed inwardly.

He knew the world was no longer peaceful, and various factions were constantly in conflict. As guardians of the Dragon Vein, the Ji family bore a significant responsibility.

Time was pressing, and he had to act quickly to cultivate more Uniting One Realm martial artists to face the imminent storm.

Only by doing so could the Ji family stand undefeated in this era of great upheaval.

"However, compared to those sleeping Uniting One, I'm more concerned about that Chu Nan…" Ji Qinghuo said, frowning deeply.

"Chu Nan is young, yet with profound opportunities. After the split of the two regions, he occupied almost all the major benefits left in the Celestial Crossing Realm." Ji Qinghuo continued, his tone filled with worry and unease.

"Those are three treasures of heavenly Spirit Martial! Before the regions split, not even a Heavenless Realm martial artist could hold all three." Ji Qinghuo continued analyzing, his eyes flashing with anxiety.

"Should he advance to the ninth level of the Uniting One Realm, along with those three heavenly Spirit Martial treasures, no one in the Celestial Crossing Realm could defeat him..."

Ji Qinghuo was extremely apprehensive about Chu Nan.

He was even secretly calculating within, considering that if Chu Nan really became a ninth level Uniting One Realm powerhouse, the Ji family would face a massive threat.

Despite the Ji family's deep foundation, confronting such a powerful opponent warranted caution.

Moreover, Chu Nan held three heavenly Spirit Martial treasures, which undoubtedly enhanced his strength immensely.

The reason Ji Qinghuo was so wary of Chu Nan was because of the battle in the Endless Sea of Suffering.

In fact, his apprehension toward Chu Nan even surpassed that toward the ninth level Uniting One Tianxuan True Person!

Note that the Tianxuan True Person was at the ninth level of the Uniting One Realm!

And Chu Nan?

He had only just entered the Uniting One Realm.

This apprehension did not diminish in the slightest with time, but instead grew by the day.

In Chu Nan, Ji Qinghuo saw the shadow of those unparalleled prodigies from before the regions split, those who had the potential to ascend to the middle realm.

These unparalleled prodigies were all individuals of extraordinary talent.

They could challenge beyond their level, overcome the strong with the weak, and create countless miracles.

Now, Chu Nan, much like those exceptional prodigies of the past, was beginning to reveal his own brilliance.

Although his current strength was not sufficiently powerful, Ji Qinghuo believed that given enough time to grow, Chu Nan might replace the Ji family as the new master of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Ji Shen Technique also frowned deeply, his face as somber as water, filled with worry and unease.

Compared to Ji Qinghuo, Ji Shen Technique was more familiar with Chu Nan. They had experienced several intense confrontations.

He was deeply aware of Chu Nan's rapid growth rate; if not countered in time, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, faced with such a powerful enemy, Ji Shen Technique felt helpless.

He knew that defeating Chu Nan was no easy task and would require an unimaginably high cost!

His rate of growth was astonishing.

Ji Shen Technique said gravely to Ji Qinghuo, "Dealing with Chu Nan may involve more than just us."
