Nine Realms Sword Emperor Chapter 42

42: Chapter 42 Battle Dragon Technique 42: Chapter 42 Battle Dragon Technique “Can Martial Artists really connect with this Spirit Vein?” Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but speak out. The mysteries of the world were vast, and there had never been any rumor about martial artists achieving this. Even his master, the Sword Dao Master, seemed to have never accomplished this, not even imagining it. “Ordinary martial artists naturally cannot, but that doesn’t mean you can’t!” Hearing Chu Fengmian’s question, Xing Xuan said sternly. “You’ve now opened your Divine Veins! Do you feel that the Spiritual Power within your body feels inexhaustible?” “This is actually a symbol of connecting with the Spirit Veins! Opening the Spirit Veins is actually communicating with the Spirit Veins of the Nine Domains! Only by opening all Spirit Veins, which then transform into Divine Veins, will you be able to connect with the Spirit Veins of the Nine Domains and seize Spiritual Power from them!” Xing Xuan continued to explain. “Otherwise, why do you think the Divine Veins have endless Spiritual Power? Even if the Spiritual Power is ample, it will eventually be exhausted one day. But if they can connect with the Spirit Veins, it’s like replenishing Spiritual Power every moment, thus truly making it infinite!” “So that’s how it is!” After listening to Xing Xuan, Chu Fengmian suddenly understood. Indeed, he had just had doubts, even if Chu Fengmian opened many Spirit Veins, there should still be a limit, and the Spiritual Power within them couldn’t possibly be endless. Using Spiritual Power, one could still perceive its consumption; it couldn’t genuinely be without any consumption. It seemed that the Spiritual Power consumed by Chu Fengmian was being restored entirely by the Divine Veins connecting with the Spirit Veins. “You are quite lucky, lad, not only have you practiced the cultivation technique of the Huan Xuan Sect but also received that Xuan Huang Ancient Pill, allowing you to condense Divine Veins in one go!” Xing Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, his tone filled with a hint of exclamation. “Divine Veins, Huan Xuan Sect’s cultivation technique? Xuan Huang Ancient Pill?” Hearing Xing Xuan’s words, Chu Fengmian had numerous questions in his mind; these unfamiliar terms were even unheard of by Chu Fengmian in his previous life. “The cultivation technique I practice is clearly the Bone-breaking Rebirth Technique.” “The technique you are cultivating is actually the introductory cultivation technique of the Huan Xuan Sect! That pill you just mentioned is the Xuan Huang Ancient Pill!” Xing Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, sighing as he spoke. “Countless ages have passed, and the Huan Xuan Sect has already been forgotten. It seems that its past glory is no longer known.” “Lad, since you have already cultivated the Divine Veins, you no longer need to practice that Bone-breaking Rebirth Technique! This technique seems just right for your body.” Xing Xuan spoke, and suddenly, some words appeared in Chu Fengmian’s mind. These words gradually formed into the shape of an ancient book. “Battle Dragon Technique?” The shining three words on the cover emitted a boundless aura of battle intent. As Chu Fengmian flipped through it, his eyes widened in astonishment. Each realm of this Battle Dragon Technique is actually distinguished by the power of ancient battle dragons!” Ancient battle dragons, the unrivaled supreme rulers of their time, were heavenly beasts. Today, many descendants of ancient battle dragons, although of impure bloodlines, were incredibly powerful, capable of heaven-shocking feats. Yet in this Battle Dragon Technique, ancient battle dragons were treated as units of battle. For instance, the first realm of this Battle Dragon Technique, when perfected, allegedly possessed power comparable to a real ancient battle dragon! And next, there was the second and third layers. However, the content did not manifest itself. “With your current strength, this first layer is already sufficient for you to cultivate,” said Xuan Xing, looking at Chu Fengmian’s disappointed expression and spoke calmly. “Being able to cultivate the first layer of the Battle Dragon Technique is already enough to establish your footing on this continent!” Chu Fengmian nodded as well. The power of an ancient battle dragon, although not enough to rank at the peak of the Nine Domains, was at least unrivaled in the Martial Triumph Kingdom and even considered a formidable force across the entire Nine Domains. Moreover, this was only the first layer of the Battle Dragon Technique; the second and third layers were likely to be even more terrifying. “Having cultivated this Battle Dragon Technique, I will definitely ascend the seven major sects to avenge my teacher!” A determined light flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes, as the Battle Dragon Technique gave him more hope. “Let me see how this Battle Dragon Technique should be cultivated.” Chu Fengmian carefully read through the Battle Dragon Technique in his mind. “This Battle Dragon Technique can only be cultivated by martial artists with Divine Veins!” Seeing the first requirement, Chu Fengmian was shocked. To cultivate the first requirement of the Battle Dragon Technique, one had to be a martial artist with Divine Veins. No wonder such a Heaven-shocking technique was unknown in the Nine Domains; martial artists with Divine Veins were legendary figures, and Chu Fengmian knew of no second. It was indeed an unattainable cultivation technique; even just the first requirement was enough to deter nearly everyone. “To possess the power of an ancient battle dragon in a human body! Without Divine Veins, it’s impossible to connect to the Spirit Vein; how could it be achieved!” Xuan Xing spoke in a cold voice. A human body was many times more fragile compared to an ancient battle dragon; only those with Divine Veins could endlessly draw Spiritual Power from the Spirit Vein and cultivate the Battle Dragon Technique. Otherwise, ordinary martial artists, even those who had opened forty-eight Spirit Veins, would be drained dry in an instant. “The first step of this Battle Dragon Technique is to condense Dragon Blood, and right now, I can probably condense only the first drop of Dragon Blood with all my effort,” said Chu Fengmian as he flipped through the Battle Dragon Technique. Even though Chu Fengmian had opened Divine Veins now, his strength was still too weak, and his realm of bone refinement at the eighth layer didn’t improve because he had opened Divine Veins. The Spiritual Power he originally planned to use for advancing was almost entirely absorbed by the Divine Veins, which ultimately allowed him to precariously open Divine Veins. Chu Fengmian sat down, closed his eyes, and meditated, activating the Battle Dragon Technique. Within Chu Fengmian’s body, a silhouette of an ancient battle dragon slowly appeared, and on the body of this battle dragon, there were precisely 129,600 tiny particles, each equivalent to a drop of Dragon Blood. This number represented the Yuan unit, and when all 129,600 drops of Dragon Blood were condensed, a battle dragon would awaken within Chu Fengmian’s body. a Dragon Roar resounded from Chu Fengmian’s body, rendering the surroundings extremely quiet. Within Chu Fengmian’s body, a drop of his blood quietly transformed and turned golden. This drop of golden blood made Chu Fengmian feel as if infinite power was encapsulated within his body.
