Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 546: Imperial Long Wei

Leaving the Ancestor Sect, Chu Nan discovered that the person from the Imperial Palace sent to escort him was none other than Qiu Xing, who had once protected Ji Wudao on the martial arts duel stage and ended up having his cultivation sealed by Lu Daochang.

This guy was a formidable Sixth Heaven expert at his peak, but ended up having his cultivation sealed by Lu Daochang, now only a Fifth Heaven.

Even today, Qiu Xing had to suppress his inner anger and respectfully invite Chu Nan to the Imperial Palace.

Only half a month had passed since the martial arts duel, but the situation had completely reversed.

Qiu Xing, who had once left Chu Nan at a loss, was no longer as formidable.

Though Chu Nan couldn't suppress him with a single move, he was confident that he could defeat Qiu Xing within dozens of moves, without a doubt.

At this moment, Qiu Xing looked at Chu Nan with a look of awe and dread.

Chu Nan causing a commotion in the Huo family was something he could hide from others, but not from Qiu Xing.

In this battle, Chu Nan killed many Huo family Ninth Heaven cultivators and remained unscathed, even resulting in the death of a Sixth Heaven martial artist.

Although Qiu Xing didn't know how Chu Nan achieved this, he couldn't hide his dread.

Because he clearly realized that even if he recovered all his cultivation, he would be helpless against Chu Nan, and might even be slain by him.

Realizing this, Qiu Xing dared not be too insolent towards Chu Nan, even without Emperor Qin's orders.

Most importantly, because of Ji Wudao, Qiu Xing had harmed Chu Nan, and he was worried that the latter held a grudge and might seek revenge.

"I am Qiu Xing, here by the decree of His Majesty to invite you to the palace," Qiu Xing said respectfully to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's face showed no expression, revealing neither resentment nor aloofness towards Qiu Xing, making Qiu Xing somewhat uneasy.

"Since it's an invitation from Emperor Qin, I'm obliged to follow. Please lead the way, Commander."

Seeing that Chu Nan was not petty and had no thoughts of revenge, Qiu Xing felt relieved and said, "Then please, Elder Zhenwu, follow me into the palace."

Currently, Chu Nan's most prominent background was being an Elder of the Ancestor Sect, so Qiu Xing addressed him as such as a gesture of goodwill.

Chu Nan didn't mind, following behind Qiu Xing towards the Imperial Palace.

Soon, the two arrived at the palace entrance, the towering gates reaching towards the sky, magnificently imposing.

Looking up from below, one couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

With Qiu Xing leading, the two smoothly stepped into the Imperial Palace.

Upon entering, they were greeted with an abundance of Spiritual Energy, twice as rich as that of the Ancestor Sect and the Huo family!

And even faintly, there was Dragon Qi coiling around various palace halls, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Chu Nan was astounded; the foundation of the Royal Family was beyond imagination, evident just from this scene, not to mention the various Supreme Treasures rarely seen by outsiders.

"If I had the full accumulation of the Ji Family Royal Family, reaching even the Unity Realm would be possible!"

Chu Nan thought to himself, his dread of the Royal Family growing deeper.

He also pondered whether the Royal Family and the strong races, having occupied the Imperial Capital for so many years and enjoyed the best cultivation resources in the Celestial Crossing Realm, truly had only as many strong experts as visibly apparent.

Chu Nan speculated that there might be far more Ninth Heaven experts hidden in the Imperial Capital than openly known.

Qiu Xing led Chu Nan unimpeded, quickly reaching the palace center, the Dragon Hall.

"Elder Zhenwu, this is the Dragon Hall, where His Majesty awaits you," Qiu Xing respectfully pointed out to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan nodded, silently clutching the Storage Bag containing Lu Yao, and then stepped into the Dragon Hall.

Facing the peak expert who ruled the Celestial Crossing Realm, Chu Nan's composure was far from as calm as it appeared.

He silently grasped the Storage Bag, ready to summon Lu Yao at any sign of danger and escape the palace confines.

Upon entering the grand hall, Chu Nan quickly saw a tall figure seated on the dragon throne.

Ji Shen Technique gazed down at Chu Nan, an intangible terrifying pressure instantly covering the entire hall; his figure seemed to grow a hundred feet tall, making all beings appear infinitely small before him.

Below, Chu Nan even felt as if tens of thousands of executioner's blades were poised on his neck, ready to fall at any moment and sever his head.

Undoubtedly, this was Ji Shen Technique's deliberate attempt to intimidate Chu Nan, making him involuntarily fear the Royal Family and thus submit. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

If Chu Nan lost his nerve now, he would fear the Royal Family in future encounters, demoralized before even engaging in battle.

This tactic was truly ingenious, one that might make others fall for it immediately, but Chu Nan was entirely fearless, instead stepping forward, closing the distance between him and Ji Shen Technique.

Within Chu Nan, an invisible Dragon Qi began to erupt, resisting Ji Shen Technique's methods.

Of course, his strongest weapon was still his indomitable, fearless will!

Ji Shen Technique noticed Chu Nan still had the strength to come closer and resist him, and a smile appeared on his lips, thinking, "Ignorant of fear, let's show this Chu Nan why my Ji family is called Royal."

With this thought, Ji Shen Technique silently activated the Dragon Qi he had cultivated for years.

His figure's illusion instantly transformed to a hundred feet tall, like a supreme true dragon coiling in the hall, whose mere gaze could make all bow and submit.

Ji Shen Technique was supremely confident, believing the Earth Vein Dragon Qi controlled by the Royal Family to be the most mystical force in the Lower Realm.

Surpassing all Spiritual Power, Sword Qi, and the like.

Moreover, his Dragon Qi was supremely pure, far superior to Ji Wudao, capable of intimidating even among the Ninth Heaven martial artists of the Imperial Capital, except for Lu Daochang.

Relying on this Dragon Qi, Ji Shen Technique feared not Chu Nan's defiance!

Yet the outcome disappointed Ji Shen Technique.

The pressure from the Dragon Qi indeed caused Chu Nan to appear in pain, drenched in sweat.

Although his will was unyielding, his cultivation was vastly inferior to Ji Shen Technique's, a gap that couldn't be bridged by will alone.

But Chu Nan had more than just his will!

Within the Storage Bag, the Dragon Slaughter Tower sensed an external Dragon Qi, feeling provoked and enraged, the entire tower bursting with radiant light, instantly enveloping Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's eyes shone with golden light, the previous Dragon Wei vanished, and instead, he felt light as a feather.

Under Ji Shen Technique's startled gaze, Chu Nan walked step by step forward, without even bowing, just slightly cupping his hands and saying, "Ancestor Sect, Elder Zhenwu Chu Nan, greets Your Majesty!"

Seeing Chu Nan as calm as ever, Ji Shen Technique was deeply shocked, witnessing for the first time, besides Lu Daochang, a second person able to resist his Dragon Wei.

Even his Dragon Wei seemed faintly suppressed by the Dragon Qi emanating from Chu Nan.

Ji Shen Technique, with his keen insight, immediately saw that Chu Nan's ability to counter his Dragon Wei wasn't due to stronger cultivation, but because Chu Nan's Dragon Qi was purer, more formidable.

As if the fake encounters the real, naturally revealing its true form!
