Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 509: Elder Zhenwu, Chu Nan!

Although the sound of the Great Dao was very faint and even somewhat chaotic, it still greatly aided in comprehending Martial Intent.

After Chu Nan’s Martial Vein reached the Saint level, he didn’t stop absorbing but continued to devour the Essence of Earth Mother.

It wasn’t until his cultivation broke through to the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm that he stopped, feeling the new cultivation and power.

Seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm, shaping the Triple Sky.

Chu Nan’s overall strength was thoroughly stabilized at the Triple Sky, and even the Quadruple Sky!

Slowly standing up, Chu Nan did not continue devouring the Earth Mother Essence. Although continuing to devour would greatly benefit his cultivation, rising too quickly might make his foundation unstable.

He plans to shape a new Sea of Clouds next, at least reaching the Quintuple Sky before considering a breakthrough.

Surveying the grand and splendid True Martial Holy Hall, Chu Nan felt a surge of excitement, for this was the greatest opportunity he had encountered since stepping into the Martial Dao!

It was itself a formidable weapon, possessing the power to tear space apart, able to kill an enemy in an instant, leaving no room for defense.

The Holy Hall was also extraordinarily sturdy; as long as Chu Nan hid inside, even a Martial Artist of the Ninth Sky wouldn’t be able to harm him quickly!

The True Martial Holy Hall also contained countless Supreme Treasures for cultivation, and the Essence of Earth Mother was just one of the more ordinary ones.

But if he wanted to obtain the subsequent treasures, Chu Nan would need to pass various trials.

This would be a long process, yet Chu Nan was not impatient; instead, he was filled with anticipation.

"With this celestial Spirit Martial True Martial Holy Hall, I can finally establish a foothold in the Celestial Crossing Realm!"

The True Martial Holy Hall was an unexpected joy for Chu Nan. After calming his emotions, he muttered, "It’s time to leave; the people of the Ancestor Sect are probably waiting anxiously."

With a thought, Chu Nan appeared outside the True Martial Holy Hall. In full view of everyone, he waved his hand and collected the entire Holy Hall into a Storage Bag.

From this point on, the Ancestor Sect would no longer have a True Martial Pavilion!

Everyone witnessing this scene showed complex expressions. They had personally witnessed the rise of a prodigy, a powerhouse.

Most didn’t even dare to look directly at him. From this moment on, Chu Nan’s status had surpassed most people in the Ancestor Sect, even some elders.

Even Mo Yi no longer dared to regard himself as a senior in front of Chu Nan at this moment.

Chu Nan’s gaze swept across the crowd, quickly settling on Lu Daochang. He felt a force that made him apprehensive and realized immediately that this person was no ordinary figure.

Seeing Lu Daochang standing in the highest position, Chu Nan also realized his identity.

The supreme leader of the Ancestor Sect!

This was a Martial Artist of the Ninth Sky. Even with Lu Yao by his side, Chu Nan had no confidence in dealing with such an existence.

"Disciple Chu Nan, pays respect to the Sect Leader." Chu Nan approached Lu Daochang, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lu Daochang scrutinized Chu Nan up close for the first time, seeing his dignified appearance, well-dressed, and possessing an indomitable spirit which he greatly admired.

"Chu Nan... not bad, not bad!"

The entire place fell silent, everyone watching Chu Nan and Lu Daochang.

Lu Daochang nodded repeatedly, then said loudly across the entire Ancestor Sect, "The thirty-six True Martial Pavilions have vanished. From this day forth, the existing succession sequences remain unchanged, but the promotion rules must be re-established."

"And as for Chu Nan..."

"He is no longer a disciple of the Ancestor Sect and can directly be promoted to elder. Having refined all the True Martial Pavilions, henceforth, he shall be called Elder Zhenwu, his status above the Honored Guests and ordinary elders, second only to the Patriarch and Sect Leader!"

Everyone was shocked at heart, Elder Zhenwu!

Lu Daochang not only bestowed the title of elder upon Chu Nan but also honored him with an esteemed title, unparalleled in the entire Ancestor Sect.

Countless gazes were fixed on Chu Nan, realizing that if nothing unforeseen happened, when Lu Daochang stepped down, the Sect Leader of the Ancestor Sect might very well be Chu Nan!

"Chu Nan, thank the Sect Leader!" Chu Nan quickly expressed his gratitude, knowing that being promoted to elder meant he no longer needed to refer to himself as a disciple.

Lu Daochang assessed Chu Nan with a satisfied look, then said, "With your promotion to Elder Zhenwu, in my name, I grant you the quota of three Primordial Demon Beasts to choose from."

Chu Nan rejoiced inwardly. He had gained thirty-six legacies, many of which he planned to cultivate to the fullest.

This quota for three Primordial Demon Beasts would provide him with immense assistance.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Following this, Lu Daochang added, "Elder Zhenwu, follow me. Everyone else may disperse."

At Lu Daochang’s command, the members of the Ancestor Sect dared not disobey. They cast complex glances at Chu Nan and gradually dissipated into the shadows.

A few months ago, Chu Nan had descended powerfully, immediately becoming a ranked disciple.

Now, in a complete transformation, he had become Elder Zhenwu, a status even in the entire Imperial Capital, making him a formidable power!

Chu Nan followed Lu Daochang to the main hall of the Ancestor Sect.

Both found their places to sit, with Lu Daochang getting straight to the point, "Chu Nan, I appointed you as Elder Zhenwu, granting you the highest status, do you know why?"

Chu Nan replied without hesitation, "Because I refined the True Martial Holy Hall."

Lu Daochang’s eyes flickered; he only just learned that the union of the True Martial Pavilions was called the True Martial Holy Hall, which further confirmed a certain idea in his mind.

"You are correct, but that is only the appearance of the matter." Lu Daochang nodded and asked, "Elder Zhenwu, would you be willing to tell me the grade of the True Martial Holy Hall?"

Chu Nan pondered for a moment, aware of how significant a celestial Spirit Martial is, sufficient to drive one to madness.

But considering Lu Daochang’s strength, if he had ill intentions, there would be no need for subterfuge, so he said, "It is a celestial Spirit Martial!"

Lu Daochang showed an expression of ’as expected,’ then suddenly asked sternly, "Do you know where else in the Celestial Crossing Realm there is a celestial Spirit Martial?"

Chu Nan was momentarily stumped. Imperial-grade Spirit Martial in the Celestial Crossing Realm was already scarce, let alone celestial-grade. Besides the True Martial Holy Hall, there shouldn’t be another, right?

Seeing Chu Nan’s expression, Lu Daochang wasn’t surprised. He gazed into the distance and said, "There is another celestial Spirit Martial in the Celestial Crossing Realm, and its name is one that not only I, but many people, including you, have heard."

Chu Nan appeared contemplative. Being astute, Lu Daochang’s words and the nature of the True Martial Holy Hall prompted his realization, his eyes widening suddenly, "Could it be... the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

"Precisely, it’s the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!" Lu Daochang nodded approvingly.

Chu Nan’s mind was racing—True Martial Holy Hall, Desolate Ancient Holy Hall...

The two similar names led him to make associations, so he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is related to our Ancestor Sect?"

Lu Daochang looked at him with a mentor’s gaze, "You guessed correctly. The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is indeed related to our Ancestor Sect."

"It’s often said that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is the oldest power in the Celestial Crossing Realm, but how could they know that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is merely a branch that splintered from our Ancestor Sect!"
