Suddenly, a sound of tearing through the sky was heard, and Chen Kaiyang, wearing a luxurious robe, walked on air with a solemn expression.

Immediately, everyone present showed a look of respect.

Chu Nan also saw Chen Kaiyang arriving and bowed to greet him, saying, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

With the help of the extraordinary realm's spiritual sense, Chu Nan easily detected the fluctuations in Chen Kaiyang's cultivation, and was somewhat surprised to discover that he had actually reached the eighth level of the Yang Wheel Realm.

Reaching the eighth level of the Yang Wheel Realm at this age isn't considered too slow; in the whole Qingxuan County, there are countless martial artists who can't even break through the bottleneck from the Spirit Pill to the Yang Wheel.

Compared to them, Chen Kaiyang reaching the eighth level of the Yang Wheel Realm at this age might actually become the first Divine Light Realm martial artist of Qingxuan County!

"Greetings to the Sect Leader." At this time, the other disciples also knelt down one after another, respectfully welcoming Chen Kaiyang's arrival.

Chen Kaiyang landed in front of the mountain gate, looked across the disciples, and instructed, "After I leave the sect, the disciples should focus on cultivation at the mountain gate and must not cause any trouble."

Generally, attending the Qingxuan Tournament in the Qingxuan Province Capital is personally led by the Sect Leader, so for a considerable period, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect will have no Sect Leader present.

However, even so, there is no need to worry about the safety of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, because deep within the sect, there is an elder who has been in seclusion for bitter cultivation, and if a true crisis arises, the elder will also take action to resolve everything.

"We obey the Sect Leader's order," the disciples responded in unison, with utmost respect in their voice.

Chen Kaiyang nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Chu Nan and the other two, saying, "In that case, let us set off."

As soon as his words fell, Chen Kaiyang lightly waved, and suddenly the ground began to tremble.

Four enormous demon beasts slowly walked along the main path of the mountain gate and arrived in front of Chu Nan and the others.

These four demon beasts had horse bodies and tiger claws, a pair of green eyes, exuding an imposing aura, and emitted strong cultivation fluctuations. Among them, three were of the Spirit Pill Realm, and the largest one at the forefront had actually reached the Yang Wheel!

The demon beasts, Flame-Hooved Tiger Brave Steeds, are beasts that can soar through the sky even at the Spirit Pill Realm level.

Martial artists slay demon beasts for cultivation or to exchange for resources; of course, they also tame demon beasts for mounts.

However, Chu Nan did not expect that the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect would have tamed a Yang Wheel Realm Tiger Brave Steed, which is truly remarkable.

This Yang Wheel Realm Tiger Brave Steed is as tall as two meters, with limbs like pillars, appearing immensely intimidating and fearsome.

Chu Nan thought it would be nice if he could also tame such a powerful demon beast one day.

The appearance of these four Tiger Brave Steeds caused a sensation within the entire sect, and faces full of curiosity scrutinized the four demon beasts.

In Qingxuan County, slaying demon beasts is easy, but taming fiercely wild demon beasts is difficult due to widespread lack of strength and sufficient methods.

For example, the Chu family had never tamed a demon beast, yet the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect had tamed four, and probably far more than just these.

After mounting the Yang Wheel Realm Tiger Brave Steed, Chen Kaiyang said, "You three each ride a Tiger Brave Steed, then follow me."

"By your command."

Chu Nan and the other two responded in unison, Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao impatiently jumping onto a Tiger Brave Steed each.

Despite wearing Broken Divine Armor weighing 8,100 pounds, Chu Nan also exerted effort to leap onto the Tiger Brave Steed's back.

Just as Chen Kaiyang was about to depart, a sudden thud was heard.

The Tiger Brave Steed ridden by Chu Nan suddenly knelt down with all four legs on the ground, its entire body trembling and panting heavily, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Chu Nan, on the other hand, stood awkwardly to the side, as the armor was really too heavy for the Spirit Pill Realm Tiger Brave Steed to bear his weight.

Seeing this, Chen Kaiyang frowned and murmured to himself, "Could it be sick?"

Then, with a clap of his hand, another Tiger Brave Steed strode in. This one, although also of the Spirit Pill Realm, had a slightly higher cultivation level than the former.

"Chu Nan, get on," commanded Chen Kaiyang.

Chu Nan nodded and leaped onto the Tiger Brave Steed.

With a thud, a few breaths later, that Tiger Brave Steed again knelt down, Chu Nan, having been prepared, promptly jumped off.

Chen Kaiyang furrowed his brows, looking at Chu Nan and asked, "Chu Nan, what is going on with you?"

The fact that both Tiger Brave Steeds reacted this way indicated it wasn't their problem, but rather Chu Nan's.

Chu Nan hadn't anticipated the Tiger Brave Steeds couldn't bear his weight, so he scratched his head and said, "Master, I've felt my cultivation a bit unsteady lately, so to temper my body and cultivation, I am wearing a set of armor."

"Perhaps the armor is somewhat heavy."

Hearing this, Chen Kaiyang was a bit surprised, dismounted the Tiger Brave Steed, approached Chu Nan, and attempted to lift him up with one hand while saying, "How heavy can armor be, now tell me honestly... Hmm?"

With just a casual lift when Chen Kaiyang almost failed to lift him, knowing he had already utilized the strength of the first level of the Yang Wheel Realm, he was nearly unable to move Chu Nan.

What kind of armor was Chu Nan wearing?

"How heavy is your armor?" Chen Kaiyang asked with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Yixing, Zheng Yao, and the other disciples and elders also gazed curiously, pondering just how heavy the armor must be to weigh down the Tiger Brave Steed.

Chu Nan honestly replied, "About 8,000 pounds."

"What, 8,000 pounds!" Zheng Yao's expression changed instantly, thinking if 8,000 pounds of armor were on him, he probably couldn't even walk, yet how did Chu Nan manage to look so normal?

Jiang Yixing also felt his mind tremble, now beginning to understand why Chu Nan was so strong.

This guy is not only harsh to enemies, but even harsher to himself.

The other disciples and elders now regarded Chu Nan with a different gaze; no wonder he could so quickly become top of the true transmission rankings.

Talent is one thing, but to enhance his strength, he was willing to go to such extremes against himself.

What does 8,000 pounds mean? If it's a stone of 8,000 pounds, it could easily crush a Spirit Pill, and even a weaker Yang Wheel Martial Artist wouldn't withstand it!

Chen Kaiyang was slightly stunned, couldn't help but shake his head, "You~"

Since Chu Nan wanted to cultivate this way, he wouldn't stop him. What Chen Kaiyang could do was help Chu Nan with his cultivation as much as possible.

So Chen Kaiyang said, "Since that's the case, with Spirit Pill Realm Tiger Brave Steeds unable to support you, let the elder's Flame-Hooved Tiger Brave Steed take you to the Cyan Profound State Capital."

Before Chu Nan could refuse, Chen Kaiyang summoned another Tiger Brave Steed.

This Tiger Brave Steed was even more towering and robust than Chen Kaiyang's, with streams of fiery patterns along its body, and sparks erupted each time its hooves landed, looking incredibly dazzling.

And its cultivation level probably had reached beyond the fourth level of the Yang Wheel!

Chu Nan was astonished, hastily declining, "This is the grand elder's mount, how could I dare ride it."

It wasn't that Chu Nan didn't want to; rather, the beast was too powerful, causing him to express some humility.

Chen Kaiyang said, "I told you to ride it; unless you want to run to the Cyan Profound State Capital wearing an 8,000-pound armor?"

Hearing this, Chu Nan had no choice but to agree, "Then the disciple obeys."
