Chapter One: Encounters Everywhere

    

cruit him into our sect. This child is currently a waste, first arrange for him to cultivate in a branch of the sect, and when his cultivation level reaches the standard, send him to Daozong."The sect...Eternal Brightness Dynasty, Dengzhou, Shuangmu City.

The City Lord's Mansion, a room piled high with spirit stones, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged practicing.

The chamber door creaked open, and the city lord strode in with a smile. Behind him followed a young woman of remarkable spirit.

"Ruoxue, little sister."

The year strides forward, face full of joy.

"Brother Lu, you're here."

Zhou Ruoxue looked at Nian with a gentle gaze, her voice soft and tender.

"Don't get up."

Lu Chen's hand sank, and he said.

He and Zhou Ruoxue hit it off, spending three years together.

He once made a promise to help Zhou Ruoxue reach the True Yuan realm.

Today, Zhou Ruoxue broke through her limits, cultivating to the ninth level of the Refining Realm. She is only one step away from the True Yuan Realm.

Upon hearing the news, he couldn't wait a moment and rushed over to keep his promise!

Lu Chen picked out a crystal clear fruit, the size of his thumb, like a large jade bead.

"Millennium Dragon Core Fruit!"

Lord Zhou He and Zhou Ruoxue's eyes lit up, this was an extremely rare natural treasure, something that couldn't be bought with money.

The Millennium Dragon Fruit has the effect of catalyzing true essence. If a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Refinement consumes it, they can directly break through to the True Essence Realm.

This fruit was an ancestral treasure passed down from the Lu family, originally intended for Lu Chen.

But Lu Chen, for Zhou Ruo Xue, kept it for himself, not using it until now.

"If you swallow it, Ruoxue, you'll break through to the True Yuan Realm today."

Lü Chen delivered the fruit to Zhou Ruoxue's side and said warmly.

Zhou Ruoxue hummed softly, opened her mouth, swallowed the thousand-year dragon fruit, and then closed her eyes to refine it.

In the time of a single incense stick, Zhou Ruoxue's breath suddenly surged, her barrier shattered in an instant, and she ascended to the first level of the True Yuan Realm.

"Haha, Shuangmu City has another True Yuan Realm expert!"

Zhou Huaxi's joy filled the heavens, and he laughed with unrestrained delight.

"Congratulations, Xiaoxue."

Although everything was as expected, Lu Chen was still excited. "One month later, it will be the grand recruitment ceremony of the three major martial arts schools in Dengzhou, held once every four years in Shuangmu City. Your current cultivation level is on par with mine, we must be favored by the three major martial arts schools. At that time, we'll go together to..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Slap!

Zhou Ruoxue suddenly struck with all her might, landing a heavy palm strike on Lu Chen's abdomen.

Phooey!

Lu Chen's mouth twitched, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Zhou Ruoxue.

"It wasn't us who went to Dengzhou, it was me!"

Zhou Ruoxue slowly stood up, her face as cold as ice, staring at Lu Chen like an enemy. "The three major martial arts families in Dengzhou, the strongest Ziyunmen has a rule, to only recruit one person. You and I are both at the first level of Zhenyuan realm, but you are the first genius of Shuangmucheng, you will be my biggest obstacle to entering Ziyunmen."

"You are the one I have in my heart, and I can give you a spot at the Purple Cloud Gate."

But I don't want you, my only desire is the Millennium Dragon Fruit in your hand.

"You... You and I were together for three years, it turns out it was all a lie!"

He sank like a stone in an ice cellar, and at that moment, his heart shattered.

"You are merely from a small family, while I am the lord's daughter, destined to soar to great heights one day. You are simply out of my league."

Zhou Ruoxue raised her head, glaring coldly. Her eyes were full of mockery, "However, I cannot let you obstruct my path. You must die!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Lu Chen roared in anger, circulating his spiritual energy and fully activating his defenses.

Deception and betrayal, wounded by those who were thought to be close, have made Lu Shen unable to accept.

But Lu Chen absolutely refused, and was killed by this venomous person!

Boom!

A fist broke through the wind and slammed into Lu Chen's back.

Lu Chen was sent flying backward, crashing into the hard wall before falling to the ground, unable to get up.

"Zhou He!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, glaring at the mayor who was smirking, his hatred reaching its peak.

Just now, that punch was Zhou He's underhanded attack.

"The number one idiot in Shuangmu City, I'll send you to your death!"

Zhou Ruoxue raised her hand, but Zhou He stopped her: "Wait, he can't die in the City Lord's Mansion, or it will damage your father's reputation."

"I can kill him without killing him. I'll dig out his dantian and meridians, leaving him a useless cripple."

"Excellent!"

Under Zhou He's gaze, Zhou Ruoxue made her move, ruthlessly digging out Lu Chen's dantian and a crystal-clear martial vein.

A room, a heart-wrenching wail of grief and a roar of fury echoed.

If I don't die, I will wipe out your entire clan!

Not long after, Zhou He'fu left the room, leaving only Lu Shen unconscious.

Suddenly, the space quivered slightly.

Psst!

A black orb of the gods shattered the void, appearing out of nowhere.

Then, a pair of giant hands appeared, tearing apart the void.

Someone is coming out from the void!

That black pearl seemed to be in a hurry, and it hit the sunken ship all at once. It even melted into the sunken ship.

Yikes!

The void ripped open.

A terrifying old man in golden armor walked out of thin air.

The golden-armored elder looked at Lu Chen, his eyes filled with disappointment, and sighed deeply.

"This old man has been pursuing this treasure for a hundred years, and it was actually obtained by this kid just lying there. It's true that what is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be cannot be forced."

"This is no small matter. With this treasure's assistance, this child will become incredibly terrifying in the future, absolutely more monstrous than any demonic genius in the mundane world!"

The Golden Armored Elder suddenly thought of something, his eyes became hot, "Well, such a monstrously talented genius, since he has fate with this seat, he must be the true disciple of this seat!"

"Huh"

The golden armored elder squinted, and after seeing Lu Chen's situation clearly, anger flared up in his eyes. "His dantian was excavated, his martial veins were destroyed, he is actually a廢!"

“Bao actually chose a nobody, and didn't choose me! What a pain!”

"Who dared to cripple my true disciple This is unbearable!"

The Golden Armor Elder let out a burst of anger, then thought of something and calmed down. "Hmm, treasures have spirits. Choosing one to be my true disciple must have its reason!"

"The martial path is perilous and fraught with difficulties. If you cannot turn your mediocrity into legend, you are not worthy to be this seat's true disciple!"

The golden armored elder leaned in close to Lu Chen, whispering softly, “This treasure is the Chaos Pearl. It possesses strange powers. You must unearth those powers if you want to change your destiny.”

At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The Golden Armored Elder wanted to save Lu Chen, but sensing the murderous intent of the approaching figure, he vanished into thin air.

Several guards from the mansion entered the room, carried out Lu Chen, and left the city lord's mansion, heading straight for the Lu family.

Along the way, it attracted countless onlookers and inquiries.

Several guards explained tirelessly, but Lu Chen was bold and reckless. He broke into the city lord's control room and was crippled by the city lord, having his dantian and meridians severed.

For a moment, news of Lu Chen's downfall spread throughout Shuangmu City like wildfire!

The guard carried Lu Chen to the Lu family's doorstep and left.

Above the skies of Lujia, a golden-armored elder stood amidst clouds and mist. His divine sense extended outwards, instantly soaring billions upon billions of miles...

In the Eastern Desolation, at the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's Council Hall, the Sect Master was discussing matters with a large group of elders.

Suddenly, a divine sense flew over and swept across the sect master's forehead.

A majestic voice echoed in the Sect Leader's ear: "Go to Shuangmu City and find a sunken year, recruit him into our sect. This child is currently a waste, first arrange for him to cultivate in a branch of the sect, and when his cultivation level reaches the standard, send him to Daozong."

The sect master trembled, immediately bowing down and replying with his divine sense, "I obey the ancestral master's orders!"

His divine consciousness vanished immediately, and the sect master couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The ancestor's four travels, hundreds of years unseen, now his divine consciousness returns, yet for a trivial matter, he doesn't even care about the state of the sect. This virtue of the ancestor, has always been the same.

Besides, being lazy is impossible to cultivate!

Xuantian Sect is a major sect, only accepting geniuses and prodigies.

If I were to receive a [trash item], wouldn't I be laughed at by everyone

Having thought of this, the sect master was not worried.

"What's wrong with the Sect Master"

The elders did not respond to the divine consciousness, but only saw the Sect Master's strange behavior and were greatly astonished.

"Honorable elders, let us first attend to a major matter. Who can tell me where Shuangmu City is located"

The Sect Leader came to, his face grim.

Even if there were a hundred of them, you have to take them all in.

Otherwise, the Ancestor's wrath is something he cannot bear.

Does our Eastern Wasteland have this city

"The Eastern Wasteland has thousands of empires and hundreds of thousands of dynasties. Each dynasty has so many states, and each state has so many cities. It's too hard to find."

"Hurry, get the map!"

The elders were greatly shaken and hurried away.

Soon, several large boxes were moved in and unloaded thousands of maps.

The Sect Master and the elders then plunged into the sea of maps.

After six hours, the location of Shuangmu City was finally found!

"It turns out to be a small town of the Yongming Dynasty. Quickly go and check if there is a branch of the Xuan Tian Sect there"

The Sect Master ordered, and the Elder in charge of foreign affairs dared not delay, immediately rushing to the Hall of Foreign Affairs.

Six hours later, the Elder of Foreign Affairs returned in a flurry.

"Reporting to the Master, there is a branch of our sect within the Eternal Brightness Dynasty. It is a small Xuan Tian branch sect affiliated with the 108th Xuan Tian sub-sect. The headmaster of this branch sect is Zhu Feichen."

"This seat wants to see this person."

"Immediately notify the sub-branches and summon him..."

"Stop summoning, it's too slow. Just bring him here directly."

"Ah!"

Li's family.

Lu Chen lay in bed, although unconscious, his consciousness was gradually clearing.

He once heard a muffled voice, but he only remembered two sentences: Chaos Pearl, with strange power.

When his consciousness was fully awakened, he discovered that his inner sea had an extra element!

A seemingly insignificant black bead is constantly growing larger.

Chaos Pearl

Before Lü Chen could even express his surprise, the Chaos Pearl changed again.

A terrifying spiritual power surged from the Chaos Pearl, instantly merging with his sea of consciousness.

A grand and fragmented memory surged out of the Chaos Pearl, instantly absorbed by the sea of consciousness.

Lu Chen immediately realized that this was some kind of inheritance!

Lu Chen, lost in a vast and fragmented memory, discovered a complete set of Dan Dao memories. Within it were countless alchemy formulas, as well as knowledge about countless medicinal herbs, celestial treasures, and rare and exotic artifacts.

Besides the Dan Dao memory, there is also an ancient rune memory.

Finally, there is also a martial arts memory: Jiulong Guiyi Jue!

Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised by his discovery. This martial art was a technique that opened up one's hidden potential without the need to cultivate their dantian. It was tailor-made for him!

When Lu Chen saw this, his heart sank.

The secret to unifying the nine dragons lies in not cultivating the dantian but instead cultivating the nine dragons themselves.

So-called dragons refer to the human dragon meridian, which is the awakened martial meridian!

His drowned meridians can't be repaired, so what's the point of cultivation

Suddenly, the Chaos Pearl trembled and sank into the sea of consciousness.

Through the skull, through the neck, through the chest...

Until it reached the dantian, the Chaotic Pearl finally stopped sinking.

A nine-pointed light emerged from the Chaos Pearl, piercing through the blocked meridians and washing over them back and forth.

Until a martial meridian formed in the colorful hues, the eight-pointed star dissipated, leaving only the red glow.

That martial vein glowed with red light, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, fierce and domineering!

This is...

The first dragon you need to cultivate in the Nine Dragons Returning to One Technique is: The Flame Dragon Vein!

Lu Chen was both surprised and delighted, his meridians regenerated, and the fire dragon appeared.

The Yanlong martial vein is several times better than the previous Linglong martial vein!

"I want to cultivate!"

Lu Chen woke up in Xing Zhong with a start.

Sit up and look around, only then did you realize that you were in your own room.

It still hurts, but the wound has been bandaged.

"No time to waste, let's see if we can cultivate"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, and circulated the Nine Dragons Returning to One Technique. He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then channeled it into the Yan Long vein.

The Yanlong Meridian and spiritual energy, like a dried-up riverbed encountering rain, instantly absorbed the spiritual energy.

For a moment, the red glow of the Yanlong Meridian flared brightly. Without waiting for Lu Chen to absorb it, it began to draw in spiritual energy from outside.

The Yanlong Vein absorbs spiritual energy in a domineering way, like an ancient giant dragon, swallowing heaven and earth.

Between breaths, the room's spiritual energy vanished.

Yet the Yanlong Pulse did not cease because of this, instead becoming even more frenzied, creating terrifying vortexes of suction.

Bang!

Doors and windows were shattered by the suction force!

A large amount of spiritual energy surged into the area, but it was still not enough to satisfy the Yanlong Vein's appetite.

As the suction increased, all the spiritual energy of Shuangmucheng surged towards the Lu family.

Numerous martial artists, hearing the news, dashed towards the Lu family like streaks of light.

Above the Lu family's residence, spiritual energy converged, like a dragon of spirit energy plunging downwards!of maps.The Sect Master and the elders then plunged into the sea of maps.After six hours, the location of Shuangmu City was finally found!"It turns out to be a small town of the Yongming Dynasty.
