Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 74: The New Number One


Spirit Pill Ninth Layer?

Martial Intent?

Sun Wheel Corpse Monster?

Two swords to kill!

Every piece of information revealed by Zheng Yao was like a sledgehammer striking their hearts.

Breaking through the Spirit Pill Ninth Layer was one thing, but Chu Nan could actually comprehend Martial Intent and killed a Yang Wheel Corpse Monster with just two swords!

If Zheng Yao hadn't been the one to say this, they would only think it was nonsense.

"Senior Brother Jiang, is what Senior Sister Zheng said true?" someone, still in disbelief, asked Jiang Yixing.

Jiang Yixing slowly nodded and then said, "I am not a match for the Sun Wheel Corpse Monster on the seventeenth floor, but Chu Nan cut it down with just two swords. I truly cannot compare."

Jiang Yixing publicly admitted he was no match for Chu Nan.

The entire Cyan Mountain Sword Sect erupted. Could it be that the top position of the sect's true disciple rankings, which had not been shaken for many years, was about to change hands?

Such a bizarre and shocking event was hard to accept all at once.

The one most pleased here was Lin An, as the stronger Chu Nan became, the more it proved his words true!

Suddenly, Sect Leader Chen Kaiyang, who was originally sitting high above, flashed down in excitement, his beard quivering wildly, and said, "Chu Nan, did you truly comprehend Martial Intent?"

Chu Nan nodded and said, "Disciple has lived up to the master's expectations and comprehended Martial Intent within the Haotian Tower."

Chu Nan then released the aura of his flame Martial Intent, definitively confirming the matter.

"He actually comprehended Martial Intent!"

"If that's the case, then the other matters are likely true as well."

"Blessed is the sect that has such a peerless genius! Heaven smiles upon Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"

Seeing is believing, no matter how much is said, it's not as convincing as seeing with one's own eyes.

When they saw Chu Nan display Martial Intent, all doubts vanished. They only knew now that the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect had a sixteen-year-old genius who mastered Martial Intent and could leap ranks to kill a Yang Wheel Realm opponent.

Barring unexpected events, the status of Cyan Mountain Sword Sect will be unshakeable within a hundred years!

Chen Kaiyang stroked his beard and laughed heartily, saying with immense joy, "Good, good, good, worthy to be my disciple Chen Kaiyang."

"Chu Nan, for mastering Martial Intent, passing the Haotian Tower test, and slaying the Sun Wheel Corpse Monster, you should be the top of our Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's true disciple rankings!"

At this moment, Jiang Yixing also voluntarily said, "Chu Nan indeed deserves it more than I do."

"That being the case, disciple obeys the order." Hearing that he had officially become the top of the true disciple rankings, even Chu Nan couldn't help but feel very joyous.

He is still young and can't be indifferent to fame and fortune.

Achieving what once seemed unattainable, how could Chu Nan not be excited, not be elated?

With youthful vigor and magnificent deeds, one achieves fame and accomplishments, fighting with rivers, sun, and moon.

A cold, sharp sword, vertical and horizontal across the world, watching the stars and embracing the universe, his fame spreads across thousands of miles and terrifies the enemy!

Chu Nan merits being number one!

...

With the Haotian Tower closing once again, the grand event came to an end.

Chen Kaiyang rearranged the true disciple rankings, placing Chu Nan at the top, Jiang Yixing fell to second, and Zheng Yao, originally fourth, rose to third. The rest filled the gaps forward, and those dissatisfied could challenge for a change in ranking later.

As the shocked crowd gradually dispersed, Chen Kaiyang also left with a statement to meet at Sword Peak three days later at noon.

After seeing off friends like Lin An, Zheng Yao, and Jiang Yixing, Gu Qiu impatiently came over, his expression slightly apprehensive but full of hope, and asked, "Chu Nan, did you obtain the Nine Fire Lotus?"

Chu Nan politely replied to Gu Qiu, "Elder, don't worry, I've kept this matter in mind all along; we can rescue Gu Nianxue now."

Hearing this, Gu Qiu was instantly overjoyed, then tearfully grateful, saying, "If you can save Nianxue, I, Gu Qiu, am willing to serve as a loyal servant for life."

"Elder, you're too serious. Gu Nianxue is my friend and has been kind to me. This small matter is nothing." Chu Nan didn't want Gu Qiu to become indebted to him.

However, speaking of which, after opening his Sea of Consciousness, Chu Nan, with his strong spiritual sense, could strangely see through many people's cultivation.

For example, Gu Qiu's realm should be the Third Layer of the Yang Wheel, possessing three Martial Wheels, deemed quite average.

The two soon arrived at Gu Nianxue's residence. As soon as they reached the place, Chu Nan couldn't help furrowing his brow.

Frost had condensed outside the room, and even from ten meters away, one could still feel threads of cold, even more severe than before.

Gu Qiu sighed, his expression sorrowful, and said, "Nianxue's cold poison is increasingly difficult to suppress. If you don't come now, even with the Nine Fire Lotus, it might be useless."

"Elder, don't worry, with me here, she won't be harmed."

Seeing this scenario, Chu Nan naturally quickened his pace. Gu Qiu pushed open the door, shaking off a large amount of frost.

A flash later, Chu Nan was by Gu Nianxue's bedside, and his pupils couldn't help but contract.

Gu Nianxue was encased in snow and ice, and if it weren't for his spiritual sense that could detect a faint heartbeat, she would be indistinguishable from a dead person.

"The cold poison has developed to this extent?"

Tears of remorse trickled down Gu Qiu's old face, and he said in a regretful tone, "When Nianxue was born, it coincided with the rare event of snow falling in June. I named her after this, not expecting the name to become a curse, causing her to be plagued by cold poison."

Concern led Gu Qiu to even blame the name for the cause of the cold poison.

"Don't worry, Elder, I will start treating her cold poison now." Chu Nan said gravely, first putting on silk gloves and then taking out a Nine Fire Lotus.

Instantly, the temperature in the entire room began to rise, and the layer of frost attached began melting at a visible speed.

"It's effective, it's actually effective!" Tears of elation flowed down Gu Qiu's face, joyful to the point of tears.

Chu Nan used the Nine Fire Lotus to warm Gu Nianxue's body.

If he didn't melt the ice and snow on her body, Gu Nianxue wouldn't be able to swallow the Nine Fire Lotus to cure the poison.

While Chu Nan was focused on detoxifying Gu Nianxue, an untimely sharp voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Old fool, Gu Nianxue is beyond saving, why bother?"

Hearing this voice, Chu Nan frowned, realizing that somehow an old lady had entered the room.

Judging from her cultivation, she was also in the Yang Wheel realm like Gu Qiu, but her attire was quite exquisite, with a common garment comparable to a Spirit Martial.

Beside the old lady was a fair, handsome young man, less than thirty years old, yet he was also a Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artist!

Gu Qiu's expression changed, then he coldly said, "Ma Ju, if you're unwilling to help, then stop spouting nonsense!"

Gu Qiu then explained, "Chu Nan, don't blame me."

"Gu Nianxue's cold poison was worsening, and you couldn't leave the Haotian Tower temporarily, so I reached out to her mother's family in the Imperial Capital, hoping they would send someone to help. Unexpectedly, they only came to make sarcastic comments."

Chu Nan didn't blame him. Gu Nianxue was Gu Qiu's daughter, and concerning his daughter's life, if it were him, he would also seek many avenues.

It was just unexpected that Gu Nianxue's mother was from the Imperial Capital!

Judging by the look, the family power was not small, but why did Gu Qiu take Gu Nianxue to Cyan Mountain Sword Sect for cultivation?

"Never mind." But Chu Nan didn't dwell on it. Saving Gu Nianxue was the most important matter right now.

Unexpectedly, the handsome young man beside the old lady Ma Ju suddenly said, "Grandmother, this Nine Fire Lotus is a rare fire-attribute spiritual object; using it on Gu Nianxue is truly a waste."

"Can you ask for the Nine Fire Lotus and help me with my cultivation?"
