Chapter 2233 Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor

Jade Rainbow Island.

On a cliff facing the sea.

Lin Xun awakened from his meditation. Within his mind-sea, the five great sword dao inheritances, Taixuan Sword Scripture, Zhukong Sword Sutra, Tornado Sword Scripture, No Return, and Momentary Dao-Slashing Sword, began to resonate with each other, slowly aligning and finding agreement.

However, he still had difficulty truly integrating them.

The five ultimate sword scriptures were like five ultimate sword emperors. To fully comprehend and integrate their great dao paths into their own sword dao...was incredibly difficult!

Lin Xun wasn't in a rush. He knew that the path of an Emperor was not something that could be built overnight.

To his surprise, at his current pace of cultivation, it wouldn’t be long before he reached the pinnacle of the second realm Emperor Stage.

When attempting to break through to the third realm Emperor Stage, he would inevitably face the Emperor Mind Obstacle—the first major tribulation on the path of an Emperor.

Lin Xun had been contemplating this matter recently. He understood that the tribulation was related to his state of mind, but he had no clue what specific trial he would have to face to overcome it.

He consulted Xi and Big Yellow, and their response aligned: The Emperor Mind Obstruction faced by each Emperor was unique, with no patterns or examples to follow.

While lost in thought, Lin Xun’s heart suddenly stirred and he looked into the distance.

Before long, Lin Xun spotted An Zheng and An Xue approaching swiftly in his direction.

A faint smile curved at the corner of Lin Xun’s lips. When he imparted the secret of the Bi’an Stamp to An Zheng, he had already anticipated that An Xue, who had been striving to ascend to the Emperor Stage for years, would do something upon learning of this!

Instead of seeking An Xue’s help directly, it might be more effective to let her come to him on her own accord.

“You guys came.” Lin Xun stood up, not adopting the attitude typical of an Emperor. Strictly speaking, he was younger than both An Zheng and An Xue!

“Elder, this is my older sister of the clan...” An Zheng stepped forward and introduced her respectfully.

“Paying respects to Elder,” An Xue bowed and then looked directly at Lin Xun. “I believe you have already guessed the purpose of my visit. I dare not hide it from you. Although I can’t help you enter the Dragon Palace, I can provide you with an opportunity to get in touch with influential figures of the True Dragon Clan.”

“That works.” Lin Xun nodded. Undoubtedly, An Xue was an extremely intelligent woman. She was straightforward and had her own opinions.

With a snap of his fingers, a mysterious mark of the Bi’an Stamp seeped into the space between An Xue’s brows. She stiffened for a moment, then, without hesitation, sat cross-legged and began meditating.

After a long while, An Xue opened her eyes from meditation, and when she looked at Lin Xun again, her eyes were filled with awe and disbelief.

She finally understood that what An Zheng said was true. The Bi’an Stamp inheritance that their Bi’an Imperial Clan had been practicing for all these years was incomplete!

“Thank you for your guidance, Elder!”

An Xue bowed, her tone sincere. “In about half a month, an elder from the True Dragon Clan will visit Jade Rainbow Island. When that happens, I will introduce you to them.”

Lin Xun inwardly heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you for your trouble.”

Half a month?

He could wait.

“Elder, I have an unreasonable request. I want to ask you... How did you come to know about the Bi’an Stamp inheritance that belongs to my clan?” An Xue hesitated for a moment, but still mustered the courage to ask.

Startled, An Zheng also looked at Lin Xun with curiosity. This was the biggest question in his heart as well, but he had never dared to ask it before.

Lin Xun said casually, “It’s a long story, but I can guarantee that it was not stolen from your Bi’an Clan.”

An Xue and An Zheng exchanged a glance. Of course, it couldn’t have been stolen. After all, the inheritance practiced by their Bi’an Clan was flawed, whereas the Bi’an Stamp inheritance mastered by Lin Daoyuan was complete and far more powerful!

An Xue took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Elder, can you...leave us with this complete inheritance? I believe that our Bi’an Clan will be forever grateful to you and regard you as the highest benefactor of our clan. Moreover, regardless of what requests you have, as long as it is within our clan’s power, we will definitely agree!”

Lin Xun smiled. “This matter is not something you, as a junior, can decide. If there is an opportunity in the future, I wouldn’t mind doing that, but not now.”

An Xue couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but she also understood that this was not something a junior like herself could be involved in.

Lin Xun pondered for a moment and then said, “Don’t mention this to anyone else for now. If I return safely from the True Dragon Clan, I’ll consider discussing it with your Bi’an Clan then.”

He didn’t want to cause trouble, and he didn’t want trouble to come to him.

If the old monsters of the Bi’an Imperial Clan learned of this, they would undoubtedly use every possible means to ‘retain’ him!

Although An Xue and An Zheng found it strange, they still agreed.

Before long, the two left in a hurry.

Lin Xun stayed behind alone. He finally concluded one thing: Mister Lu’s Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations inheritance was not as simple as he had thought!

“This situation is likely not confined to the Bi’an Imperial Clan. It might also be happening with the Hornless Ice Dragon, Bixi, Pulao...and the other imperial clans under the True Dragon Clan...” Lin Xun said ruminatively.

“The incomplete inheritance has hindered the younger generation of the imperial clans from ascending to the Emperor Stage, but throughout history, there has been no shortage of Emperors among the nine imperial clans.

“Does this mean that the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations inheritance has been used by the True Dragon Clan as a means to control the nine imperial clans? And only with the help of the True Dragon Lineage can the descendants of the nine imperial clans, who have the potential to become Emperors, truly have a chance to break through and ascend the Emperor Stage?

“If so, this is interesting...”

Thinking of this, Lin Xun smiled. Regardless, at least for now, this matter did not affect him.

Not long after that, Lin Xun went to the bustling market, hands behind his back.

“I wonder when I’ll find an origin root spirit of the Cangwu Sacred Tree and some clear and turbid soul star sand...”

Years ago, Lin Xun had set out on a mission to collect sacred trees and divine materials that could help him condense a Primal Chaos Origin Tree sapling.

After traveling to countless places over the years, he had managed to collect three of the four sacred trees, Fusang, Jianmu, and Kunwu, along with a handful of mythical five-colored dirt and primal chaos soil.

A few days ago, he had also obtained the absolute breath water on Jade Rainbow Island.

Now, he was only missing the origin root spirit of the Canwu Sacred Tree and some clear and turbid soul star sand to complete the condensation of the Primal Chaos Origin Tree sapling.

On the Emperor path, whoever controlled a Primal Chaos Origin Tree essentially possessed the foundation to comprehend and control the laws of primal chaos origin!

However, it was incredibly difficult to nurture a Primal Chaos Origin Tree. At least, as far as Lin Xun knew, in the tens of thousands of years of history in the Ancient Nebula Road, only two or three individuals had truly succeeded in condensing this tree!

The reason for this was that the sacred trees and divine materials required were exceedingly rare. Each one was a legendary treasure itself and could only be encountered through chance or sheer luck.

For instance, Lin Xun had acquired an origin root spirit of the Sacred Fusang Tree long ago back when he was still in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. However, even after reaching the Emperor Stage, he still had not succeeded in growing a Primal Chaos Origin Tree.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Lin Xun’s luck had run out. In the days that followed, he continued to roam around Jade Rainbow Island, but he couldn’t find any of the materials he needed.

Boom!

On this day, a divine rainbow tunnel suddenly appeared in the distant sky above Jade Rainbow Island. From within the tunnel emerged a colossal black turtle with dragon whiskers, its body stretching ten thousand feet wide. A grand golden palace rested upon its back as it sailed out from the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the four Emperors of the Bi’an Imperial Clan who were stationed on the island set off together to personally welcome the arrival.

This scene immediately caused a stir on Jade Rainbow Island!

This was because an influential figure from the True Dragon Lineage had arrived, and the True Dragon Lineage was the supreme ruler of this world, holding unparalleled power.

Let alone an influential figure from the True Dragon Lineage, even a mere errand boy from the True Dragon Lineage would be untouchable in this world where countless clans coexisted.

“They’re finally here.” Lin Xun opened his eyes from meditation on the cliff by the sea. His spirit sense spread across the sky, quickly detecting the aura of the influential figure from the True Dragon Clan.

He was a tall and imposing man clad in a purple robe, with piercing brown eyes—A cultivator at the sixth realm Emperor Stage.

Of course, he was not the only one who came. Accompanying him were over a thousand attendants, each one exuding a powerful aura.

However, to Lin Xun, apart from the man in purple robes, no one else was worthy of his attention!

On the same day, it was announced that the purple-robed man was an elder of the True Dragon Lineage, named Ao Xinglin, also known as the Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor!

At the same time, An Zheng hurried over and invited Lin Xun to Rainbow Reflection Mountain as a guest.

Late in the evening.

In a grand palace hall on Rainbow Reflection Mountain, four old monsters from the Bi’an Imperial Clan, including An Tianshui and An Tianlin, personally welcomed Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor, offering him their most enthusiastic hospitality.

During the banquet, glasses clinked as people exchanged toasts, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor sat alone at the seat of honor, his bearing high and mighty, like a king on his throne receiving the admiration of his subjects.

An Tianshui and the others showed no signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, they were all very enthusiastic, displaying humility and a respectful attitude.

Let alone a big shot like Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor, even a random member of the True Dragon Lineage would not be disrespected by An Tianshui and the others.

After three rounds of drinks, Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor finally cast a glance at An Xue who had been sitting not far away, and said indifferently, “Is this the most outstanding talent in your clan’s younger generation?”

An Tianshui quickly responded, “That’s right. An Xue, hurry and pay your respects to Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor!”

An Xue stood up and bowed respectfully, “Paying respects to Lord.”

Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor hummed in acknowledgment as he studied An Xue, then tossed a golden talisman, swirling with obscure dao light, onto the table in front of her.

“Sign this talisman with your Life’s Blood Essence.” His tone was indifferent, laced with an air of condescending generosity.

An Xue knew that if she agreed, her fate would be entirely controlled by the True Dragon Lineage. If she dared to defy them, this talisman would strike her down with a fatal blow.

However, if she refused, she would forfeit the chance to receive guidance from Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor, and her hopes of ever becoming an Emperor would be shattered.
