615: Chapter 1: Dragon Vein_2
Everyone was waiting.
What they were waiting for was not only the punishnt of Prince Jiangning by Ren Shou Palace.
It was also the handling of the head of the Imperial City Departnt by Ren Shou Palace.
“This court, dull in its years, has accumulated countless chronic maladies; pulling them out all at once is too difficult.”
Chen Jingxuan also lowered his eyes and murmured, “Step by step, no rush.”
“Teacher…”
Chu Yin took a deep breath.
She gathered her courage and sincerely said, “I heard that Xie Zhen has safely returned from Li Kingdom.”
“Yes.”
Chen Jingxuan nodded his head.
“I…”
Chu Yin cautiously said, “Can I go see him?”
Chen Jingxuan was taken aback.
He knew that the “he” Chu Yin referred to was not Xie Xuanyi.
But that brother, who despite being the closest in blood, she had never t since birth.
Chen Jingxuan was silent for a long ti.
Chu Yin saw the hesitation on her teacher’s face.
She knew her current situation and also knew the unstable situation in the Imperial City, which could not afford any slight change.
The little one hurriedly corrected: “It’s okay, teacher…
I can wait.”
“You have been waiting for a long ti already.”
Chen Jingxuan sighed deeply.
His eyes showed compassion as he slowly said, “You can et him, but only for 15 minutes.”
…
…
A quenching gateway opened in the void.
Chen Jingxuan, leading Chu Yin, stepped into an untraveled “Grotto Heaven.”
Chu Yin stared blankly at the world before her.
This was a breathtakingly beautiful holy land she had never visited before, with countless shattered flowers drifting in the wind, flying into her sight, brushing against her cheeks; the strong wind lifted the hem of her black and gold robe and her long hair.
In front of her stood a gigantic tree towering like a mountain.
The shade of the tree flowed like fire.
Upon closer inspection.
It turned out that these were not leaves, but the golden threads of the Roundness Instrunt, floating and sweeping about.
“Teacher, where is this?”
Chu Yin looked bewildered.
She vaguely felt that the place was familiar.
In her mory, she seed to have visited a similar place before, or rather…
had seen a similar place before.
Wait a minute.
Chu Yin suddenly rembered its origin.
In the Royal Garden constructed by her father ten years ago, there was an extrely large mural that depicted exactly this scene.
A heaven-reaching tree, sprawling and supporting the sky.
“The Great Chu Imperial City is built in the core area of Central State; beneath the city lies the convergence of several dragon veins.”
“The reason why it is the Imperial City.”
“Is because this place suppresses the most potent destiny of the entire Da Chu Dynasty.”
Chen Jingxuan looked up, gazing at the huge tree before him, and slowly said, “Among them, the dragon vein of Martial Arts Destiny, guarded by the Qin Family, governs the martial cultivation destiny of warriors in all Four Realms of Da Chu.
During these hundred years with Qin Ancestor guarding the Martial Arts Destiny, many martial geniuses erged in the Da Chu Dynasty, these geniuses commanding the Iron Cavalry, stationed in the Northern Territory, thus terd the ‘One Hundred and Eight Garrison Commanders.’ With flourishing martial fortune, naturally ca the flourishing national fortune.
During those years, the Da Chu Dynasty was invincible in attacks and battles, and in several confrontations with Li Kingdom, erged overwhelmingly victorious.”
Chu Yin confusedly asked, “Wait…
if Da Chu Dynasty had flourishing martial fortune, then what was the issue with the Battle of Poison?”
This battle.
Left deep psychological scars on everyone in Da Chu.
Da Chu won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
“Good question.
The Battle of Poison was so fierce because, in those years, there was a problem with the martial fortune in Da Chu; besides, the Demon Country also entered a year of explosive destiny…”
Chen Jingxuan sighed deeply and explained, “However, despite the severe cost in the Battle of Poison, Da Chu ultimately repelled the Demon Country and slain the Mo Zhen Venerable.”
“So that’s how it was.”
Chu Yin bowed her head and murmured, “Then, besides the ‘Martial Arts Destiny’ dragon vein, are there other dragon veins?”
“Correct.”
Chen Jingxuan smiled reassuringly.
He slowly said, “Apart from ‘Martial Arts Destiny,’ there are three other dragon veins.”
“These three dragon veins, starting from the Imperial City, stretch hundreds, even thousands of miles…”
“Eventually.”
“One hovers below the mountain gate of the Taoist sect.”
“Another one is located at the base of Lotus Peak in Da Sui Sword Palace.”
The Taoist sect and Da Sui Sword Palace are the two largest sacred cultivation sites of this era.
“There’s another one.”
Chu Yin looked towards Chen Jingxuan, who paused intentionally, and said cautiously, “Could it be leading to the ‘North Sea’?”
“Exactly.”
Chen Jingxuan exclaid, “These four dragon veins converge under the Great Chu Imperial City.
The dragon vein destiny, in a sense…
signifies the destiny of Great Chu.”
The destiny of Great Chu has been declining over the years.
The reason is simple.
The Sword Palace sealed its mountain, the Taoist sect retreated from the world, and the North Sea’s destiny was blocked.
Out of the four dragon veins, three were completely blocked.
Only the one governed by Qin Ancestor, bearing the ‘Martial Arts Destiny,’ was still prosperous; thus, in the years of declining destiny, all aspects of the Da Chu Dynasty deteriorated, except in the Imperial City where Wu Zhexian, a Martial Arts Yang God, rose against the odds and established the “Martial Sect.”
All of these, there were traces to follow.
“It is said that cultivators, cultivate against the heavens.”
Chu Yin felt it ironic and couldn’t help muttering softly: “But now, it seems that the so-called cultivation destiny has already been set?”
The dragon vein destiny was sealed.
No matter how strong you are alone, it is useless.
The cultivators of Great Chu Imperial City are inherently superior to the loose cultivators of the Four Realms, enriched here by abundant spiritual aura and resources.
In fact.
Is it true that loose cultivators from the Four Realms are really inferior in talent to those from the Imperial City?
Naturally not.
It’s just that the dragon vein destiny converges here.
The Imperial City cultivators, casually cultivating, will surpass the loose cultivators of the Four Realms.
That’s why…
those born in remote and ordinary places, cultivators, would break their heads trying to enter the Imperial City, even if they can’t make a great na for themselves, even just having a dwelling in the city is better than their secluded hotowns.
“It’s this logic, yet it’s not.”
Chen Jingxuan shook his head slightly, saying softly, “What your father wanted to do back then, was to rge all four dragon veins into one.”
The little one raised her head, then froze.
All four dragon veins rged into one?
This thought was indeed shocking.
Chu Yin murmured, “And then?”
“Great Chu is not just the Taoist sect, not just Da Sui Sword Palace, but also many holy lands, many noble families.”
“Destiny has its highs and lows.”
“But ‘the top under heaven’ may not be born where destiny is most prosperous.”
Chen Jingxuan softly said, “There are innurable cultivators in the world, gathered in places where the dragon vein destiny flourishes.
But even without such destiny, wild grass still grows from the crevices of rocks… Hundreds of years ago, Qiantian Palace produced a Great Practitioner capable of contending with a Taoist Sect Leader.
Looking even further back, every 60 years, countless geniuses are born.”
This, is the “Ten Heroes.”
The rise of the Ten Heroes.
Is not just a supplent, an establishnt of order in the world.
It is also a check on imperial power.
“These are always the minority.”
Chu Yin shook her head, her heart like a bright mirror, knowing the so-called Ten Heroes of the World, although renowned, upon reaching Great Chu Imperial City, all would be a level lower.
So people are not among the Ten Heroes.
But are above the Ten Heroes.
She feared, feared the most, resented the most, that person.
It is such a person.
“Therefore, it is necessary to let the dragon veins converge.”
Chen Jingxuan paused then spoke patiently, “Think carefully about it; if all four dragon veins are rged, what happens when the destiny of the world is scattered?”
Chu Yin looked at the giant tree in the distance.
She thought for a long ti.
Finally.
Chu Yin earnestly uttered two words: “Great era.”
“Yes.”
Chen Jingxuan spoke each word distinctly: “Then, it will be an unprecedented golden age.
Heroes of the world will be as nurous as carps crossing the river.”
Four dragon veins, one symbolizing the destiny of martial arts, one from the North Sea, one from the Taoist sect, one from Da Sui Sword Palace.
rging these four dragon veins, then bestowing them.
This is the supre effort of a thousand years.
“Thus, this tree ca to be.”
Chen Jingxuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the towering tree in front, “With Mr.
Yan Xin assisting Emperor Chu, using the entire power of a Sky Watcher, drawing lines between the four dragon veins, eventually extracting a strand of the origin of destiny from each, and nurturing such a sapling…
This, is the ‘Moon Hidden Realm.'”
