Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 511: Shaping the Fourfold Sea of Clouds
This time, taking over the True Martial Pavilion and refining the True Martial Holy Hall brought considerable gains to Chu Nan.
Not only did his cultivation rise a minor realm, but he also obtained a weapon rivaling the Dragon Slaughter Tower in power.
The legacies of the thirty-six True Martial Pavilions were all accepted by Chu Nan.
His next plan was to head to the Ma family to fulfill the promise he made to Gu Nianxue a year ago!
But before that, Chu Nan needed to cultivate again and improve his strength.
From the thirty-six True Martial Pavilions, Chu Nan acquired various ancestral bloodline legacies, offering him multiple paths to enhancing his power.
However, most were of no immediate use; he only planned to cultivate the ones that could quickly aid him in the short term.
For example, Sword Dao, Body Technique, Soul Dao, Power Dao...
These could rapidly boost Chu Nan’s cultivation and shape a new Sea of Clouds legacy in a short time.
"The Sect Leader gave me three spots to choose Primordial Demon Beasts; giving me this many signifies both importance and an olive branch, so I must not waste them."
Chu Nan frantically recalled the records of Primordial Demon Beasts from the Ancestor Sect to pick ones that matched the legacy and could boost his strength.
Soon, Chu Nan set his eyes on three targets.
"The Sky-Slaughter Sword Flood Dragon, a seventh-level Primordial Demon Beast of the Cloud Sea Realm, which possesses the ancestral bloodlines of slaughter and gold attributes, could perhaps replace the Sabretooth Sky Dragon to help me master the Mi Yuan Killing Sword!"
For others, using alternative Primordial Demon Beasts would be very difficult, but Chu Nan had the Desolate Profound Transformation Manual, a supreme cultivation technique naturally able to counter and control ancestral bloodlines.
So what seemed impossible to others could naturally fall into place for him.
"The Sky-Evasion Path is a body technique martial skill centered on wind and earth attributes; as long as I find a Primordial Demon Beast with the respective attributes, it can be replaced."
Ultimately, Chu Nan decided to use the remaining two spots to exchange for the Thunderstriding Heavenly Elephant of the sixth level, and the Heavy Marsh Water-Splitting Rhinoceros of the eighth level, both in the Cloud Sea Realm.
The former wields the power of wind and thunder, while the latter commands water and earth.
Adding the cultivation of the three Primordial Demon Beasts themselves, Chu Nan had confidence that he could multiply his own strength several times!
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
During these five days, Chu Nan exchanged for the three carefully selected Primordial Demon Beasts and successfully cultivated the Mi Yuan Sword Technique and Sky-Evasion Path.
As for the Primordial Demon Beasts needed for Power Dao and Soul Dao, Chu Nan had yet to find them and could only set them aside for now.
Concerning the Blood Sea of No Return in Blood Dao, the more ancestral bloodlines consumed, the stronger the power when this method is applied!
Simultaneously, with the help of these three Primordial Demon Beasts, Chu Nan successfully developed a new Sea of Clouds!
Inside his dantian, amidst booming sounds, the Five Elements Sea of Clouds divided, and the Four Symbols Sea of Clouds, centered on wind, fire, water, and thunder, rose upwards.
The Blood Dao Cloud Sea, Five Elements Sea of Clouds, Four Symbols Sea of Clouds, and Sea of Yin Souls formed a towering structure; though the Five Elements Sea of Clouds and Four Symbols Sea of Clouds appeared somewhat weak, they still shone brilliantly.
With the successful formation of the Four Symbols Sea of Clouds, the sky above the True Martial Holy Hall abruptly changed color, shrouded in dark clouds, with relentless thunder and lightning, fierce wind, and rain raging throughout the night, causing a layer of gloom in the hearts of every disciple in the Ancestor Sect.
Chu Nan’s strength underwent a phenomenal transformation after forming the fourth tier.
His dantian expanded, and his inner core shone brighter, resembling the sun high above, illuminating all things in heaven and earth!
Slowly clenching his fist, immense power inadvertently radiated outwards, and just the action of clenching his fist produced a sonic boom, leaving Chu Nan excited and invigorated.
He could now essentially reach the fourth tier in basic strength, and if he fully exerted his means, he could even slay with all his Emperor Martial and Celestial Martial powers.
Even against the fifth tier, Chu Nan had confidence in being on par.
After reaching the second tier, each subsequent tier’s gap equates to a significant realm difference.
That Chu Nan could base himself at the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm and form the fourth tier, possessing the prowess to slay a fourth-tier opponent, was already exceedingly rare.
Throughout the entire Celestial Crossing Realm, probably no second one could be found.
Pure cultivation techniques and martial skills could hardly break the realm gap; Chu Nan relied mainly on ancestral bloodlines and the Emperor-grade Spirit Martial upon him to fight across ranks.
In later stages, even if Chu Nan elevated to the ninth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, substantial breakthroughs would be hard to achieve.
Being invincible within the ninth-tier realm was the utmost Chu Nan could envision at the moment.
And within the Celestial Crossing Realm, those who could threaten Chu Nan’s life were diminishing.
"The timing is ripe; once I thoroughly stabilize my cultivation, I’ll proceed to the Ma family."
Chu Nan held little concern regarding the journey to the Ma family; initially, upon arriving at the Imperial Capital, he had some apprehensions, but now it was entirely different.
A year ago, when Ma Liuniang led the Ma family experts to the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, the sect was powerless against them, left to helplessly watch her leave with Gu Nianxue and her father.
This was due to the Ma family’s possession of Cloud Sea Realm experts in the Imperial Capital, while the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect was but an insignificant ant.
But now the situation has reversed!
The Ma family in the Imperial Capital was merely a martial arts family slightly stronger than the Spirit Corpse Sect; their overall strength didn’t even have a ninth-tier cultivator, let alone resist Chu Nan, who now possessed fifth-tier battle power?
Presently, those who could threaten Chu Nan remained the Royal Family Ji Clan of the Imperial Capital and the ten strong races.
Backed by the Ancestor Sect and becoming an Elder Zhenwu, Chu Nan unknowingly transformed into a significant figure in the Imperial Capital, no longer the ant to be easily handled by the Royal Family or strong races.
Consequently, Chu Nan had full confidence in the coming journey to the Ma family.
A day passed in the blink of an eye; just as Chu Nan was preparing to head to the Ma family, a servant outside the hall announced, "Elder Zhenwu, someone is seeking an audience from outside the sect."
The True Martial Holy Hall was exclusively Chu Nan’s, and since he became Elder Zhenwu, almost daily, visitors sought an audience.
However, aside from Mo Yi and Zhi Tianping, Chu Nan dismissed the rest by claiming he was in cultivation.
Upon hearing of another visitor, Chu Nan furrowed his brow, readying to send back a message to the servant indicating his inconvenience, when the servant added, "The young lady states she’s an old acquaintance."
An old acquaintance?
Surprised at the mention of an old acquaintance, Chu Nan wondered what old acquaintance he could have in the Imperial Capital, and more so, a young lady.
Unable to figure it out, Chu Nan decided not to ponder any further and said, "Alright, let her in then."
With a slight wave of his hand, the large doors of the True Martial Holy Hall slowly opened.
Though the True Martial Holy Hall housed many opportunities, being its Hall Master, Chu Nan could conceal these opportunities at a mere thought, safeguarding them from outside eyes.
Anyone daring to force their way in would be walking into a trap.
If anyone dared to enter the True Martial Holy Hall, even someone at the seventh tier, Chu Nan had confidence in ensuring they never left!
As he gazed toward the hall entrance, curious about what old acquaintance had come to seek him, a familiar silhouette came into view, throwing him into confusion.
Chu Nan’s pupils contracted, and for a moment, even his heartbeat seemed to stop.
