Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 547: Earth Vein Dragon Qi

Seeing that his Dragon Qi oppression had no effect on Chu Nan, Ji Shen Technique decided not to humiliate himself and withdrew all his divine power.

After all, continuing like this would only be self-humiliation.

"As expected of a young hero, to have grown to such heights in less than two years is truly extraordinary."

"With you here, my Qin Kingdom can rest easy."

Ji Shen Technique was unstinting in his praise of Chu Nan, seemingly indifferent to his recent disrespect.

After all, as a ruler, he naturally possessed such poise.

"Your Majesty overpraises me." Chu Nan modestly replied, though his inner vigilance did not diminish.

He had publicly defeated the Eldest Prince, tarnished the Royal Family's prestige, and even killed several princes, a deep-seated enmity against Ji Shen Technique.

Chu Nan believed that no matter how magnanimous or ruthless Ji Shen Technique was, he couldn't entirely overlook all this.

After all, he was a centenarian monster, not someone whose depths could be gauged by mere appearances.

"Chu Nan, you're exceptionally gifted. Honestly, even my princes are far inferior to you."

"In the future, the peak of the Imperial Capital must include you; you might even establish a strong race of your own."

Ji Shen Technique slowly said, "If you are willing to leave the Ancestor Sect and join the Royal Family, I will use the resources of the entire kingdom to cultivate you, allowing you to establish a strong race no weaker than the Huo family within a century, how about that?"

"Leave the Ancestor Sect?" Chu Nan couldn't help but smirk. Not to mention his enmity with the Royal Family, the Ancestor Sect had been immensely kind to him.

Without the Ancestor Sect, Chu Nan couldn't have reached this point in so short a time, and under no circumstances would he choose to betray them.

Ji Shen Technique's recruitment was nothing but wishful thinking.

Moreover, his ambitions were clear as day. Who knew what his true motives for recruitment were? Chu Nan would definitely not place his trust in him.

"Your Majesty jests, the Ancestor Sect has been gracious to me. I will always be the True Martial Elder of the Ancestor Sect."

After speaking, Chu Nan revealed a trace of Ancestral Bloodline aura, expressing his stance.

Ji Shen Technique was not surprised at all by Chu Nan's response. He had only been testing him and had never truly expected Chu Nan to join the Royal Family.

"Grateful and not swayed by fame or profit, the Supreme Sect Leader is truly fortunate~"

Ji Shen Technique nodded in admiration, showing no trace of anger, instead revealing an appreciative tone.

Seeing Ji Shen Technique's demeanor, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel wary, so he spoke directly: "Your Majesty, before you summoned me, you claimed to know the secret of the Dragon Slaughter Tower. Can you reveal it now?"

The Dragon Slaughter Tower was the Supreme Treasure left to Chu Nan by Chu Fang, and its aid along his journey was innumerable.

Certainly, he was very curious about the secret of the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

Perhaps this secret could make him even more formidable!

"Very well, I am a man of my word and will not renege." Ji Shen Technique said slowly, "Chu Nan, let me first ask you, do you know why the Royal Family is so powerful, able to unify the Celestial Crossing Realm thousands of years ago and establish the Imperial Capital?"

Without hesitation, Chu Nan answered directly: "Because the Royal Family was the first to grasp the Ninefold Heaven Cultivation Method and the Earth Vein Dragon Qi!"

The former was almost universally known among the powerful, and the latter was also renowned, standing as a hallmark of the Royal Family's strength.

Ji Shen Technique nodded slowly but then shook his head and said: "The Ninefold Heaven Cultivation Method has existed since ancient times; even without us, others would have surely discovered it eventually."

"Actually, when the Qin Kingdom unified the Celestial Crossing Realm, it wasn't only we who mastered the Ninefold Heaven Cultivation Method."

"From the far Desolate Ancient Holy Hall of the Southern Moors to the near Ancestor Sect, during the chaotic wars of states, they secretly possessed the Ninefold Heaven Cultivation Method, being powerful forces of the Celestial Crossing Realm!"

Chu Nan was somewhat surprised and didn't expect the first to master the Ninefold Heaven Cultivation Method was not the Qin Kingdom.

However, this actually made more sense.

After all, both the Ancestor Sect and the splinter group, Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, were powerful forces active in the Celestial Crossing Realm before the division of the two realms.

Not only did they have numerous strong Martial Artists, but also unfathomable foundations.

Considering this, the Ancestor Sect was solely focused on researching the Primordial Demon Beast, without intention to occupy the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Otherwise, whether the Celestial Crossing Realm would have fallen into the hands of the Qin Family of the Qin Kingdom is uncertain.

"So, is the Dragon Qi the secret behind Your Majesty's strength?" Chu Nan asked tentatively.

Ji Shen Technique nodded, then said: "The Earth Vein Dragon Qi is the essence of the earth, possessing power far exceeding ordinary Power of Heaven and Earth."

"Our ancestors discovered and refined the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, establishing the Qin Kingdom, soaring through challenges, and eventually unifying the chaotic Celestial Crossing Realm."

"However, when our ancestors refined the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, a portion escaped, resulting in the Royal Family's Earth Vein Dragon Qi not being complete..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After saying this, Ji Shen Technique cast a complex gaze at Chu Nan and said: "I had thought that I would never find the lost portion of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi again in this lifetime, but I never expected it to be brought back to the Imperial Capital by someone."

Looking at Ji Shen Technique's eyes, Chu Nan quickly realized what he meant: "Your Majesty is saying that my Dragon Slaughter Tower is a part of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi?"

Chu Nan was not surprised by Ji Shen Technique's words; from previous indications, he sensed that the Dragon Slaughter Tower was intricately connected to the Earth Vein Dragon Qi.

Ji Shen Technique nodded and said: "The portion of Earth Vein Dragon Qi that escaped was refined into a treasure by someone unknown, and it ended up in your hands."

Afterward, Ji Shen Technique used an incredibly serious tone: "Since I ascended the throne, I have vowed a great wish to complete the Earth Vein Dragon Qi. I wonder if you could help me fulfill this desire?"

Ji Shen Technique gazed at Chu Nan with a sliver of earnestness.

At this moment, Chu Nan fully understood that Ji Shen Technique's real intent was not to recruit him, but to target his Dragon Slaughter Tower.

However, the Dragon Slaughter Tower was of immense importance, and Chu Nan couldn't possibly give it away. Just as he was about to refuse, Ji Shen Technique quickly said: "Chu Nan, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to what I have to say first."

"Your Dragon Slaughter Tower, when accounted for, originally belongs to the Royal Family, and it is only logical for me to take it back."

"However, I won't take it for nothing; as long as you willingly offer the Dragon Slaughter Tower, I am willing to reward you with half of the world, and we can co-govern the Celestial Crossing Realm!"

Upon these words, the entire Dragon Hall became eerily silent.

Even the usually composed Chu Nan was taken aback. For Ji Shen Technique to offer half of the Qin Kingdom in exchange for the Dragon Slaughter Tower was beyond shocking.

Wasn't the cost too exorbitant?

Ji Shen Technique immediately followed up, "Completing the Earth Vein Dragon Qi isn't only my personal wish but also that of many former emperors of the Royal Family. To achieve this, I am willing to pay any price."

"Even if you ask me to destroy the Huo family, I will agree."

With the promises becoming heavier, Chu Nan felt no joy, only sensing Ji Shen Technique's madness to obtain the Dragon Slaughter Tower.
