Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 544: World Vein Dragon Tower

"Are you sure the Golden Tower that Chu Nan controls contains Dragon Qi?"

As Ji Wudao waited anxiously, Ji Shen Technique finally spoke, but the content was quite surprising.

"Father, I can swear on my life, the mysterious Golden Tower of Chu Nan contains immensely rich Dragon Qi. I suspect the Supreme Sect Leader secretly stole the Royal Family's Earth Vein Dragon Qi to forge this tower for Chu Nan!"

"The Ancestor Sect has stolen Earth Vein Dragon Qi before to refine Dragon Qi Pills, so it must be the same this time."

Although Ji Wudao didn't know why Ji Shen Technique was inquiring about the Dragon Slaughter Tower, he obediently answered and shared his own speculation.

"Foolish, you truly see the world from the bottom of a well and have the eyes of a mouse that's short-sighted!"

Ji Shen Technique snorted coldly, scolding Ji Wudao, "Even now, don't you have any guesses about Chu Nan's identity?"

"Identity? Before coming to the Imperial Capital, he was just a Martial Artist from the prefecture, what kind of identity could he have?" Ji Wudao's face showed confusion, yet his tone was full of disdain.

He was born as the Eldest Prince, enjoying countless honors, and was extremely proud of his Royal Family identity, naturally looking down on Chu Nan from the prefecture.

He was also filled with doubt about Ji Shen Technique's words.

"Have you forgotten, before the chaos in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range over a decade ago, the pair of man and woman who descended on the Imperial Capital?" Ji Shen Technique slowly opened his eyes full of divine presence, yet underneath those eyes lay a hint of... fear!

Ji Wudao suddenly realized and recalled the scene of that man and woman's arrival in the Imperial Capital. Even after so many years, a sense of dread involuntarily rose in his heart.

"Could Chu Nan be their..." Ji Wudao suddenly guessed, but rapidly shook his head, "No... impossible, how could Chu Nan be their child? They were clearly from the Heavenly Balance Realm, they..."

Ji Shen Technique slightly waved his hand, then said, "Previously, I had the same view as you, but don't forget, Huo Mingxian once followed them and knows much more than we do."

"The reason the Huo family can pose even a fraction of a threat to the Royal Family today is primarily because Huo Mingxian once followed them."

"And since Chu Nan's emergence, the Huo family has continually targeted him, even at the cost of several cultivators of the Ninth Heaven. Don't you find it very strange?"

Ji Wudao was thoughtful, as if he had grasped something.

Then Ji Shen Technique said again, "Also, the girl Huo Mingxian brought back from the Heavenly Balance Realm... I've always suspected she is the offspring left by that pair."

"According to reports from our spies within the Huo family, Huo Nianfang and Chu Nan are indeed brother and sister of the same parents."

"Coincidence, everything is too coincidental..."

"Huo Mingxian is extremely shrewd and never acts without benefit. With her nature, why would she adopt a girl of unknown origin without reason?"

"And the Huo family hunting down Chu Nan must be based on information we are unaware of."

Ji Wudao pondered and finally showed an expression of shock, saying, "Father, are you saying Chu Nan and Huo Nianfang might be their children?"

Ji Shen Technique nodded slightly, and Ji Wudao trembled all over.

To a Martial Artist, over a decade is just a blink, yet the events of those days were vividly imprinted in his mind.

A mysterious pair descending upon the Imperial Capital, able to suppress the entire city with just a finger, and then shattering space, subduing everything in ways beyond imagination.

That pair were Banished Immortals from the heavens; even the Royal Family had to submit before them.

After learning that Chu Nan was the offspring of that pair, Ji Wudao's ideas of retaliation vanished, and he immediately said, "Father, let's not interfere with Chu Nan's affairs."

"No wonder he could become so powerful in such a short time. It all makes sense if he's their descendant!"

At this moment, with fear of Chu Nan's revenge, Ji Wudao even considered temporarily fleeing the Imperial Capital to first distance himself from this vortex.

But to Ji Wudao's surprise once again, Ji Shen Technique reprimanded him with a pained expression: "Ah, my son, why are you so foolish?"

"Huo Mingxian once followed that pair and knows well how terrifying they are."

"Yet now Huo Mingxian targets their offspring without scruple, don't you wonder why?"

Ji Wudao pondered briefly, then suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that pair is already dead or can't return from the Heavenly Balance Realm?"

Ji Shen Technique nodded slowly, with a heavy expression, and said, "Over a decade ago, the chaos in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range was so terrifying; we know that all too well."

"The Celestial Crossing Realm could be destroyed at any time, and we're constantly on the brink of annihilation."

"Even that pair must have seemed insignificant facing that chaos, and maybe Huo Mingxian, who followed them through that chaos, witnessed their deaths."

"If that's so, then everything can be explained."

"Chu Nan possesses treasures left from the Celestial Crossing Realm, and Huo Mingxian covets this treasure, hence leading the whole Huo family against Chu Nan!"

Ji Wudao finally understood everything and suddenly thought of something, exclaiming suddenly: "Since Chu Nan is that pair's offspring, then that small tower is..."

Ji Shen Technique showed a pleased smile, and Ji Wudao finally found the key point.

"Correct, although its appearance has changed a bit, it must be the World Vein Dragon Tower. By obtaining it, our Ji family will not only be rulers of the Celestial Crossing Realm, but what harm is there in dominating the entire lower realm?"

Ji Wudao felt his entire body trembling with excitement. Having practiced Earth Vein Dragon Qi since childhood, he knew best what the World Vein Dragon Tower signified.

It's a supreme treasure capable of changing the heavens and earth; even heavenly-grade Spirit Martial is worthless compared to it.

Wielding this tower means holding the entire lower realm in one's hand!

...

"Brother, from now on I won't be called Huo Nianfang anymore. I want to be called Chu Nianfang, like you, is that okay?"

In the Ancestor Sect, within the True Martial Holy Hall, as Chu Nan listened to his sister's request, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

He gently patted her head and said softly, "Of course, that's great. We're of the same bloodline, naturally we should have the same surname. Father and Mother would certainly be happy for us if they knew."

Chu Nianfang nodded joyfully, experiencing the closeness of blood ties for the first time.

At this moment, looking at Chu Nan, an endless warmth rose in her heart.

She hoped that everything before her, even if a dream, would be a dream that would never end.

And for Chu Nan, reuniting with Chu Nianfang was the happiest and most joyful event since he came to the Imperial Capital.

From now on, his life was complete.

A confidante, a close kinship by blood, background, master, power, cultivation, talent—all of these he had now.

Chu Nan would do everything to enhance his cultivation and strength, using his hands, using his sword to protect everything he had at this moment. No one deserves to take them away!
