Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 529: Broken Sword Valley

The old man would never understand even in death just how terrifying Chu Nan truly was.

Not only did his physical body perish, but even his soul eternally disappeared, becoming a part of Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the old man's soul was completely absorbed by Chu Nan, revealing information about Huo Nianfang.

"Huo Nianfang is merely being watched over and is not in mortal danger."

Chu Nan muttered, his gaze landing not far away.

Based on the old man's memories, he learned that Huo Nianfang was not far ahead in a place called Broken Sword Valley.

There, several ninth-level celestial cultivators lay in ambush, and even a sixth-level expert was present!

A sixth-level figure in the Imperial Capital was already legendary; Huo Mingxian had certainly made ample preparations to kill Chu Nan.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, I'll see how far the Huo family can go!"

With this thought, Chu Nan immediately transformed into a stream of light, heading towards the Broken Sword Valley from the old man's memory.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Pavilion.

Witnessing Chu Nan kill the old man, the suppressed Zhi Tianping sneered, "Huo Mingxian, Chu Nan is a peerless prodigy, carrying boundless fate."

"No matter how many tricks you have, you're destined to fail!"

Huo Mingxian heard Zhi Tianping's words but showed a disdainful expression.

She slowly said, "If it were Chu Nan's father, calling him a peerless prodigy would be acceptable, but Chu Nan... is unworthy!"

Immediately, Huo Mingxian's gaze fell on the image of the Secret Realm, with a proud tone, saying, "My Huo family also has prodigies not weaker than Chu Nan."

"He is my brother's eldest son, the Huo family's patriarch. I provided him the orthodox Sword Dao inheritance from the Heavenly Balance Realm, endowed with the countless wisdom of my Huo family's ancestors."

"Without deploying our last resort, he's enough to kill Chu Nan!"

Zhi Tianping equally scoffed, "Prodigy, just a carefully sculpted porcelain."

"Chu Nan emerged from piles of corpses and sea of blood; your Huo family prodigy is destined to be just a stepping stone!"

...

Chu Nan moved swiftly and soon found himself at the Broken Sword Valley from the old man's memory.

Clank, clank!

Suddenly, the clear sound of swords rang out from afar; Chu Nan saw thick Sword Qi like dragons streaking across the sky akin to Celestial Thunder.

The light emitted by that Sword Qi instilled a sense of fear even from dozens of miles away.

Below, a gigantic gorge stood between heaven and earth, exuding quite the majesty and terror under the shine of Sword Qi.

Witnessing this scene, Chu Nan's look was filled with surprise, muttering, "Could this be the Broken Sword Valley from the old man's memory?"

Two massive mountain ranges appeared like a longsword split in half, with a pitch-black gorge left at the frigged part, seemingly unfathomable, leaving one awestruck.

Since stepping into Martial Dao, Chu Nan had never seen such formidable Sword Qi, unable to help stopping for a long while.

The Sword Qi here was terrifying, comparable to a full strike from a ninth-level cultivator. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Some were so fearsome that Chu Nan himself felt a sense of dread, as if touching them would result in being split in two.

"This site was originally devastated by the Sword Demon, belonging to the Four Elephants Sword Sect, once mighty in the Heavenly Balance Realm!" Chu Nan muttered, feeling deep shock at the Heavenly Balance Realm's might.

Lu Yao emerged from Chu Nan's Storage Bag at this time and remarked, "Judging by the scale of this Broken Sword Valley, the Four Elephants Sword Sect at its peak likely had several Heavenless Realm experts."

"With such profound foundations, this level of power already merits a seat in the Endless Sky Sword Sect."

Chu Nan eyed Lu Yao, secretly astonished.

Such a terrifying Four Elephants Sword Sect could only have one seat in the Endless Sky Sword Sect.

Just how fearsome must the Endless Sky Sword Sect be at its peak?

For a moment, Chu Nan's eyes revealed a trace of yearning; he truly wished to settle all matters in the Celestial Crossing Realm and venture to the Heavenly Balance Realm to witness a broader sky!

As Chu Nan envisioned, Lu Yao suddenly spoke, "This place is a fortuitous opportunity for you as well."

"Fortuitous? Shouldn't it be a crisis?" Chu Nan looked at the distant, menacing Sword Qi, and said with trepidation.

Lu Yao shook her head, then added, "Do you remember how disciples of the Endless Sky Sword Sect quickly formed their Sword Dao Cloud Sea?"

Chu Nan paused but soon reacted, recalling a method recorded in the Cloud Sea Record given by Lu Yao for shaping the Sword Dao Cloud Sea.

"Sword Intent must reach at least level two, while absorbing a great amount of Sword Qi..."

Halfway through the sentence, Chu Nan froze, then looked at the Broken Sword Valley, "Senior, are you suggesting I use the Sword Qi from this Broken Sword Valley to form the Sword Dao Cloud Sea?"

Lu Yao nodded, adding, "The Four Elephants Sword Sect carries the shadow of my Endless Sky Sword Sect, possessing the purest Sword Dao heritage, the remaining Sword Qi is exceptionally orthodox."

"Absorbing this Sword Qi will make your Sword Dao Cloud Sea exceedingly solid."

"Moreover, the Sword Qi here is virtually endless for you, more than sufficient to form the Sword Dao Cloud Sea!"

Crunch!

A thick dragon-like Sword Qi streaked through the sky once again, lighting up Chu Nan's face in a silver sheen.

He gulped, and finally nodded, "Alright, then I'll form the Sword Dao Cloud Sea here!"

Though fraught with danger, once he made a decision, Chu Nan became exceedingly resolute.

He cultivated the Nine Secret Morningstar Technique, coupled with accumulated measures and resources, forming the Sword Dao Cloud Sea here posed virtually no issue.

Most importantly, Chu Nan primarily trained in Sword Dao, yet since entering the Sea of Clouds, his Sword Dao had somewhat fallen into neglect.

If he could form a pure Sword Dao Cloud Sea, his various Sword Dao Martial Skills, including the Mi Yuan Sword Technique, would become even more fearsome and powerful!

Along his journey, Chu Nan consumed Dragon Blood, and Dragon Qi, why couldn't he consume Sword Qi too!

With a resolute mind, Chu Nan operated the Nine Secret Morningstar Technique while approaching the Broken Sword Valley.

The closer he got, the denser the Sword Qi felt.

Yet Chu Nan was unafraid, resolutely stepping into the Broken Sword Valley.

Then soon after entering about ten yards, a Sword Qi slashed toward him.

Chu Nan immediately activated the Nine Secret Morningstar Technique intending to absorb the Sword Qi, but his arm got torn open with a bloody wound, almost severed.

"Such potent Sword Qi!" Though injured, Chu Nan absorbed large amounts of Sword Qi into his Dantian instantly.

Then suppressed it with cultivation, fusing and absorbing.

A few breaths later, the Sword Qi was tamed, becoming Chu Nan's power.

During the entire process, sweat poured down Chu Nan's brow, yet his injury also healed back to its original state.

"My robust recovery ability allows me to transform Sword Qi into my strength, as long as I'm not struck to death in one move, I can keep absorbing!"

Chu Nan wiped the sweat off his forehead, his figure gradually disappearing into the Broken Sword Valley...
