Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 545: Chu Nan’s Decision

It has been seven days since returning from the Huo family.

During these days, Chu Nan has been fully assisting Gu Nianxue, Chu Nianfang, and Zhi Tianping in enhancing their cultivation and increasing their strength.

The enemies he now encounters are getting stronger, and he may have to face Nine Heavens experts when he goes to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The people around him must also quickly enhance their strength, not so much hoping they can help, but primarily to ensure they have the power to protect themselves.

A bit more strength increases the possibility of survival, and Chu Nan has gained much; he does not wish to lose it.

At the same time, Chu Nan is also preparing to go to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range.

He doesn't entirely trust Huo Mingxian's words, but he cannot disbelieve them either. The Cyan Demon Mountain Range is where his father fell. Even without this event, he must explore it.

Moreover, there's one very important thing that Chu Nan cares deeply about, and that is finding a way to leave the Celestial Crossing Realm.

It's widely known that the Endless Sea of Suffering lies between the Celestial Crossing Realm and the Heavenly Balance Realm.

The Endless Sea of Suffering is insurmountable by birds, and even feathers find it hard to drift across. Even Nine Heavens martial artists cannot fly over it; they must use their strength to cross it,

but crossing between the two realms is challenging. Without cultivation and the inability to board a ship, talking of crossing the Sea of Suffering is purely fanciful.

Chu Nan has never heard of anyone being able to travel back and forth between the Heavenly Balance Realm and the Celestial Crossing Realm via the Sea of Suffering.

Aside from the Sea of Suffering, there is actually another place that leads to the Heavenly Balance Realm, but for some reason, Chu Nan feels that everyone seems to have overlooked this point.

For those with low cultivation it's understandable, but even those at the Cloud Sea Realm have never mentioned going there to reach the Heavenly Balance Realm.

That place is the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, the border of the Celestial Crossing Realm, the mysterious land beyond Qing Mountain County.

The battlefield where the Sword Demon descended upon the Celestial Crossing Realm, the place where Chu Fang fell!

Over ten years ago, the Sword Demon launched his attack on the Celestial Crossing Realm from the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, and with the clues Chu Nan himself discovered, he can be certain that the Cyan Demon Mountain Range holds a route to the Heavenly Balance Realm.

But for so many years, with not even a mention of it, Chu Nan suspects it might conceal threats even more formidable than the Endless Sea of Suffering.

Those threats are so terrifying that people don't dare to mention them lightly...

"Huo Mingxian said to find the terrifying entity residing deep within the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, so it seems there's definitely something hidden there."

"Perhaps what Huo Mingxian wants me to find is the reason why martial artists from the Celestial Crossing Realm can't reach the Heavenly Balance Realm."

Chu Nan's mind was constantly pondering, and with the growth of his cultivation, he unknowingly started contemplating how to reach the Heavenly Balance Realm.

There, not only is there an environment to break through to the Unity Realm, and a more vast Martial Dao, but most importantly, his mother Ye Jiao'e is somewhere in the Heavenly Balance Realm.

Only by reaching the Heavenly Balance Realm, can Chu Nan meet his biological mother...

To prepare for the potential dangers in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, Chu Nan and the others secluded themselves to enhance their strength.

But this tranquility was swiftly interrupted.

"Requesting to see Elder Zhenwu, I have important matters to report." Suddenly, the voice of a martial artist came from outside the True Martial Holy Hall.

Chu Nan's heart stirred, and the gates of the True Martial Holy Hall slowly opened. A disciple of the Ancestor Sect at the Cloud Sea Realm slowly stepped into the hall, looking around curiously and in awe.

For a moment, he was actually lost in thought, until Chu Nan spoke and broke the silence.

"What brings you to seek me?" Chu Nan said calmly.

The disciple retracted his gaze, his eyes unabashedly filled with envy and longing, but in the end, he still respectfully addressed Lin Mu, "Reporting to Elder Zhenwu, someone from the Imperial Palace has just arrived, saying the Emperor Qin has summoned you!"

"Emperor Qin?" Chu Nan was slightly taken aback; this is a major figure in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

A pinnacle existence of the Nine Heavens, not much different from Lu Daochang.

If he exerted all his strength, even Chu Nan, with his current cultivation, would be unable to resist, and might even be slapped to death within a few hits.

Alongside his confusion, vigilance also arose in Chu Nan's heart.

Emperor Qin's summons couldn't possibly be a good thing; after all, Chu Nan had killed many of Emperor Qin's descendants, even almost killing the Eldest Prince Ji Wudao. In the place of others, accepting this invitation would be like entering the tiger's den, fraught with danger.

Thus, Chu Nan, without hesitation, chose to refuse: "I am currently in seclusion, at a critical stage of breakthrough."

"Please convey to Emperor Qin that I cannot come to meet him."

He dared not go alone to meet this monstrous figure Emperor Qin, even with Lu Yao's protection; he couldn't risk going alone.

After all, the imperial palace is unlike the Huo family; it is truly a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, with danger lurking everywhere.

Once inside, it would be difficult to escape.

The disciple, seeing Chu Nan's refusal, hurriedly said, "Elder Zhenwu, it would be best if you go. Emperor Qin has sent people to wait outside."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan's expression turned cold, suspecting that this disciple might have connections with the royal family, and thus he said, "Are you threatening me? What happens if I choose not to go?"

Seeing Chu Nan's icy gaze, the disciple's body trembled; he was just a minor figure and dared not provoke Chu Nan.

"I wouldn't dare... wouldn't dare..."

"However, Emperor Qin's people told me to tell you that if you aren't willing to come, Emperor Qin wants to reveal the secret of the Treasure Tower in your hand."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan's eyes widened slightly.

The Dragon Slaughter Tower was a massive weapon he had used since his Yang Wheel Realm.

This Spirit Martial seemed to have no grade, and even now, Chu Nan hadn't fully unleashed its true power.

Thus, he speculated that the Dragon Slaughter Tower is at least a heaven-grade Spirit Martial, not inferior to this True Martial Holy Hall.

Additionally, it controls the Dragon Qi, which only the royal family can wield, adding several layers of mystique to the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

Chu Nan knew that this Supreme Treasure, left to him by Chu Fang, must harbor important secrets.

"Emperor Qin and the Dragon Slaughter Tower's secret?" Chu Nan sank into thought. The Dragon Slaughter Tower contained Dragon Qi, and Emperor Qin might be the most proficient martial artist in this era at cultivating Dragon Qi.

Perhaps he really knows the secret of the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

With this in mind, Chu Nan felt a growing urge to enter the imperial palace and see Emperor Qin, but given the opponent's strength, he still had some reservations.

"There's no harm in going; this might be an opportunity for you to become stronger."

"Knowing the secrets of the Dragon Slaughter Tower can teach you how to truly wield it."

Lu Yao suddenly sent a message to Chu Nan using spiritual sense: "Moreover, with me here, even if Emperor Qin makes a move against you, I can ensure your escape."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Chu Nan felt reassured. Since she made this guarantee, he saw no need to hesitate.

Furthermore, Kui Guang lay dormant within Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness. If he encountered a threat that even Lu Yao couldn't handle, Kui Guang would undoubtedly act.

Although Kui Guang was merely a remnant soul, at his peak, he could divide the two realms with a single sword, and surely has a means to counter Emperor Qin.

"Very well, if that's the case, I shall graciously accept the invitation then." Chu Nan slowly agreed, ultimately deciding to go see Emperor Qin!
