The Great Xuan Royal Family!

"Emperor Seal Technique - Ancient Emperor Seal!"

A loud and majestic shout rang out, and Zhou Chen's hands formed a seal with lightning speed. Deep and brilliant bronze light shone from the palm of his left hand!

The next second, a palm-sized bronze crystal handprint suddenly appeared on Zhou Chen's left palm.

The bronze-colored crystalline handprint clearly exuded a powerful imperial aura, so great that it distorted the very space!

This is the Emperor Seal Technique – Ancient Emperor Seal!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

Inside the Cosmic Battleship in outer space, on the virtual screen in the command center, a danger indicator flashed continuously, indicating that an ultra-high-energy reaction capable of destroying the warship had been detected!

Zhou Chen also shoved the Ancient Emperor Seal he had been holding, which was ready to be used, towards the Cosmic Battleship in outer space!

The bronze-colored crystalline handprint formed by the Ancient Emperor Seal will not transform into a huge mountain like the Mountain Splitting Seal or the Sea Overturning Seal, but will remain only the size of a palm.

Therefore, the energy contained within the Ancient Emperor Seal is extremely concentrated, and its power is comparable to the large-scale destructive weapon, the Antimatter Bomb, of the Azure Blue World!

In an instant, the palm-sized Ancient Emperor Seal burst through the atmosphere like a meteor and crashed directly into the Cosmic Battleship floating in outer space!

"Captain, antimatter detected!"

"It could be an anti-material bomb!"

"We must retaliate immediately!"

Upon hearing these words, the captain, who hailed from the Cangxuan Li Family, stared intently at the large screen and said in a tense, deep voice, "Block that meteor! Quantum Control Array Laser Cannon, prepare!"

"Emission!"

The captain roared at the top of his lungs, but these laser cannons, powerful enough to shatter asteroids, were completely useless against the palm-sized bronze crystal handprint, not even scratching the brilliant light on the surface of the Ancient Emperor Seal!

"Activate the protective shield!"

The captain immediately roared.

Instantly, the entire Cosmic Battleship was enveloped in layers of dazzling protective shields.

However, these protective shields, which could withstand attacks from Martial Grandmaster experts, shattered after only one second.

"Activate the warp drive!"

In desperation, the captain had no choice but to order a retreat.

However, it was too late. The entire warship was blown up, turning into a huge fireball that burst into brilliant light in outer space not far from Azure Star, like a sun!

This scene, witnessed by the various forces that were paying close attention to the great battle, left them all dumbfounded.

There have been just too many reversals today!

First, Li Su, the vice president of the Martial Dao Guild and the patriarch of the Cangxuan Li Family, led his henchmen to press on Thunder Cloud Mountain. Everyone thought that Thunder Sword Sect was doomed this time.

Unexpectedly, all the Martial Dao Guild henchmen who went to Thunder Cloud Mountain were wiped out. Li Su left alone and was chased all the way to Qing Province, where he soon perished!

The Cangxuan Li Family, which also wielded considerable influence in the Great Xuan Kingdom, was wiped out by the Righteous Qi Sect in conjunction with the Longshen Merchant Family.

In this battle, a powerful force that possessed a Martial Grandmaster and numerous Great Martial Masters and elders was wiped out within an hour.

It must be said that the speed at which the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family slaughtered the Cangxuan Li Family was so fast that many forces couldn't react in time. Their actions were so impressive that they made people's scalps tingle.

However, just as the Righteous Qi Sect and the Shang Family were gloating and ransacking the Cangxuan Li Family's territory, a high-powered laser cannon descended from the sky, instantly killing Wen Fengxiang, the sect leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, and severely injuring Shang Daoming, the Grand Elder of the Shang Family.

Just as people were marveling at how the Cangxuan Li Family had hidden a Cosmic Battleship capable of annihilating a Martial Grandmaster, a tall, handsome young man with a face like jade suddenly appeared!

This handsome young man not only easily blocked the laser cannon that was powerful enough to flatten a mountain peak, saving the Righteous Qi Sect members and Shang Family disciples who had not had time to retreat from the Cangxuan Li Family's territory, but also casually unleashed a powerful Martial Mystical Power, condensing a dazzling ancient seal, which directly broke through the atmosphere and destroyed the Cosmic Battleship!

This series of reversals left many powerful forces in the Great Xuan Kingdom and even the Eastern Luo Continent dazzled and exclaimed how exciting it was!

Of course, the analysis of that handsome and powerful young man also began immediately!

The powerful families, clans, and noble clans of Azure Star are not to be trifled with.

They may be of varying strength and status, some rising and some falling, but when it comes to analyzing a martial artist and gathering personal information, they are absolutely professional.

Soon, the personal information of this handsome young man who could casually destroy Cosmic Battleship was placed on the desks of various major powers.

Immediately, various sects and families with their own interests began to hold video conferences and even private secret meetings.

"A casual strike can distort space and pierce the atmosphere; this is at least the strength of a peak Martial Grandmaster, or even a Martial Venerable!"

"The Cosmic Battleship that the Cangxuan Li Family secretly assembled is a Radiance-class Battleship purchased from the Silver Council City-State. The ship's protective shield alone, when fully activated, can withstand the attack of a peak Martial Grandmaster."

"But the protective shield only lasted for a second in front of that young man."

"He possesses at least the strength of a Martial Venerable, or even stronger!"

"This young Martial Venerable is named Zhou Chen. His origins are very mysterious. This is his first appearance at the Thunder Sword Sect."

"According to a disciple of the Righteous Qi Sect, when this Venerable Zhou first appeared, Meteor Descent fell from the sky and transformed into a gate of light made of White Marble."

"Intelligence indicates that Shang Family Shang Buyu, a contemporary Witch, believes that this young martial arts master is a time traveler from ancient times."

"This young Martial Venerable's bone age is no more than thirty. With the current concentration of vital energy on Azure Star, it's simply not enough to produce a powerhouse of such a young age!"

"Shang Buyu's conjecture has scientific merit."

"The Vice President of the Martial Dao Guild of the Great Xuan Kingdom, Azurewood Venerable, once confronted Venerable Zhou in the sky above the East Sea, but he did not make a move and instead let the young Martial Venerable leave."

"Azurewood Venerable is a veteran Martial Venerable, whose mastery of the Dao of Space is unparalleled. It is rumored that he has already created the prototype of a small world and possesses a portion of the power of a Saint!"

"Even so, Azurewood Venerable was still not confident of defeating his opponent, and was at least quite wary of him."

"This Venerable Zhou's strength should not be underestimated!"

After continuous communication, the various forces quickly reached a consensus: to avoid conflict with Venerable Zhou as much as possible, and to befriend him if possible.

Outside the capital city of Azure Xuan Province, Luling Mountain.

As the headquarters of the Righteous Qi Sect, Luling Mountain has always been quite famous.

After the battle that destroyed the Cangxuan Li Family, Luling Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist and evergreen with pines and cypresses, became even more famous!

However, the rumored death of Wen Fengxiang, the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect, plunged the entire Luling Mountain into grief.

Many disciples had already prepared wreaths, elegiac couplets, and white robes, along with gongs and suonas, waiting for accurate information after the sect elders' meeting before planning to hold a grand celebration for Wen Fengxiang Sect.

However, what they didn't know was that at this very moment, inside a pavilion called Righteous Qi Pavilion on the back of Luling Mountain, Righteous Qi Sect Wen Fengxiang, stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in flowing white robes, exuding an elegant and refined air.

It was obvious that the leader of the Righteous Qi Sect had not been killed by the laser cannon; on the contrary, he was still alive and kicking.

This is all thanks to the Righteous Qi Sect's Venerable-Rank Martial Art Manual, the Righteous Qi Technique.

The Righteous Qi Technique focuses on cultivating the Qi of the Dao, enabling it to take form and condense an avatar with a similar aura and strength to the original body.

The one that was previously destroyed by the laser cannon of the Cosmic Battleship was Wen Fengxiang's clone.

"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which flows in various forms. Below, it becomes rivers and mountains; above, it becomes the sun and stars. In man, it is called the vast and righteous spirit, which fills the entire universe."

Wen Fengxiang recited these words with a melodious and rhythmic tone, as if his whole body was enveloped in a layer of light, which was the noble spirit of righteousness!

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Wen Fengxiang stopped muttering, turned around, cupped his hands in greeting to the figure that had suddenly appeared before him, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency."

The person who arrived was naturally Zhou Chen.

"Master Wen, did you name the phrase you just recited?"

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat puzzled.

Before transmigrating, Zhou Chen, a liberal arts student, felt like he had heard this phrase before.

Upon hearing this, Wen Fengxiang was somewhat bewildered, but he still dared not be negligent and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, these words and phrases have no names; they are just cultivation incantations from the sect's Martial Dao Technique, the Righteous Qi Technique."

"Is it just a cultivation mantra?"

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered for a moment, then became somewhat meaningful.

The capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom, Golden Xuan City.

This is a megacity with a huge population, advanced technology, a prosperous economy, and a vast area. It is surrounded by numerous satellite cities, making it a massive city cluster.

This city is also the core of the royal family's rule over the entire kingdom!

Unlike West Xuan Continent and Titan Continent, which have numerous city-states, alliances, councils, and virtual monarchies, the Great Xuan Kingdom, even in the technological age, still maintains absolute control over everything through the royal family.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

The power of the Noble Council, the Martial Dao Guild, and the major sects and families is enough to stand on equal footing with the Great Xuan Royal Family!

These forces maintained a balance with the royal family.

At this moment, in the heart of Golden Xuan City, at the Great Xuan Royal Palace.

Esteem Virtue Hall.

A figure descended from the sky and landed on the square Esteem Virtue Hall.

Instantly, a large number of royal guards, armed with standard rifles and various other weapons, surrounded the figure.

Meanwhile, some martial arts experts loyal to the royal family also appeared in various corners and on the eaves, forming a large array of vital energy, ready to launch a thunderous attack at any time!

However, upon seeing the figure's attire and appearance, the commander of the Royal Guard immediately stepped back, then knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Greetings, Azurewood Venerable!"

Yes, the figure that could descend upon the Great Xuan Royal Palace at will was none other than Azurewood Venerable appeared in the sky above the East Sea that day.

Azurewood Venerable is not only the vice president of the Martial Dao Guild of the Great Xuan Kingdom, but also a guest of the royal family and one of the Venerable Ones.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the Martial Dao Guild and the Great Xuan Kingdom should not be good, and they may even be at odds.

After all, no royal family in any country wants a behemoth like the Martial Dao Guild divides the power of the kingdom, to exist.

Just like the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall in the Douluo Plane.

However, Azurewood Venerable used some unknown means to successfully win over both sides, gaining the trust of the Martial Dao Guild and the high regard of the Great Xuan Royal Family.

Such skillful maneuvering is truly admirable.

"Your Excellency, please come in. His Majesty is waiting for you inside the hall."

The commander of the royal guard stood up, bowed respectfully, and said...

As a martial arts master revered by the royal family, whenever Azurewood Venerable descends upon the kingdom, the King of Daxuan will immediately come to see him, no matter how busy he is, unless he is not there.

This is a necessary respect from the royal family for powerful martial arts masters.

"Okay, you lead the way."

Azurewood Venerable spoke calmly as he followed the Imperial Guard Commander into the Esteem Virtue Hall.

As soon as he entered the Esteem Virtue Hall, Azurewood Venerable's gaze fell on an elderly man wearing a golden robe and a golden crown.

This old man was not Song Ming, the king of the Great Xuan Kingdom, but one of the royal family's trump cards, Cold Venerable, Song Ye!

King Song Ming stood behind Song Ye, his expression calm.

Cold Venerable, Song Ye, is a direct descendant of the Great Xuan Royal Family. He is of a much higher generation and much older than the current King Song Ming.

Just the fact that Song Ming was willing to stand behind Cold Venerable Song Ye shows how important this Martial Venerable is in the eyes of the royal family!

"Your Majesty is well."

Azurewood Venerable first greeted King Song Ming, then looked at Song Ye and said indifferently, "Cold Venerable, when you have some free time, we can have a friendly spar."

In fact, Song Ye was a generation older than Azurewood Venerable, making him one of the oldest Martial Venerables among the powerful figures of that time.

Moreover, Azurewood Venerable and Song Ye did not have a good relationship and had clashed more than once.

This is also one of the reasons why Azurewood Venerable immediately wanted to fight Song Ye one-on-one.

Upon hearing Azurewood Venerable's somewhat aggressive and provocative words, Song Ye simply nodded calmly without saying a word, his act of showing off quite successfully.

Damn it, that old bastard tricked me again!

Azurewood Venerable muttered to himself.

Seeing that Azurewood Venerable looked somewhat displeased, King Song Ming immediately smoothed things over, saying, "Both Venerables are the Sea God of our Great Xuan Kingdom, capable of causing a major earthquake with a single stomp of their feet. It's best if we don't spar with each other."

After a pause, Song Ming changed the subject and got straight to the point. "I wonder what important business Azurewood Venerable has brought here?"

"Is Your Majesty aware of the destruction of the Cangxuan Li Family?"

Azurewood Venerable said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know. I even met Li Su, the head of the Cangxuan Li Family, once back then."

Song Ming's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "According to rumors, the reason why the Cangxuan Li Family was wiped out is related to a Martial Venerable expert?"

"Exactly! That Venerable Zhou who killed Li Su was so powerful that he could shatter mountains Boiling the Sea, and destroy Cosmic Battleship!"
