"The Qingxuan Secret Realm contains countless opportunities, but it is also extremely dangerous. My Lin Family once had a Yunhai Realm ancestor who fell inside while exploring the Qingxuan Secret Realm, and even lost the family heirloom."

"Since the establishment of the Qingxuan Battle Academy, the Qingxuan Secret Realm only allows those under thirty years old from the Shenzhao Realm and Yang Wheel Realm to explore it."

After listening to Lin Yian's words, Chu Nan was somewhat shocked. He didn't expect that the Mansion Master Lin Family had once had a Yunhai Realm ancestor, truly incredible.

No wonder Lin Haoyang became the Mansion Master; it turns out there is such terrifying depth.

Lin Haoyang chimed in at this moment, "Although I am the Mansion Master of the Qingxuan Mansion, it is not a case of dominance by one family. In recent years, the Zhang Family has been rising strongly, always intending to replace me."

"Especially in the recent decades, every time the Qingxuan Secret Realm opens, the Zhang Family always gains tremendous benefits, making them stronger and stronger. I'm worried they'll make a move soon."

Seeing Lin Haoyang's worried expression, Chu Nan asked, "What can I do?"

Lin Haoyang had helped him greatly, and calling him today must be to seek his assistance, so Chu Nan straightforwardly pointed it out.

Seeing Chu Nan so proactive, Lin Haoyang was delighted and said, "The ten slots to enter the Secret Realm from the Battle Academy have been set, without you. The ten slots allocated to noble families are mostly occupied by the Zhang Family."

"Only the ten slots for the Mansion Master have vacancies. I've decided to give two of them to you and Lin Yian."

"After entering the Secret Realm, I hope you will cooperate with others to locate the body of my Lin Family's Yunhai Realm ancestor and bring him back, especially the family heirloom on him."

"With the aid of this treasure, my strength might rival that of a Shenzhao Realm Ninth Level, and then the Lin Family's crisis will naturally be resolved."

"Chu Nan, you don't have to worry about safety. Most of those entering the Secret Realm are Yang Wheel Eighth to Ninth Level, as for Shenzhao Realm martial artists... there are no more than three!"

"I will also find a Shenzhao Realm martial artist to help you."

Chu Nan slightly frowned. He naturally wouldn't worry too much about the Yang Wheel Realm martial artists, as long as they weren't too many, he could suppress them with the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

But Shenzhao Realm martial artists are different; they transform their martial intent into Dao essence, with both their body and soul undergoing complete metamorphosis, and have opened a Sea of Consciousness, eliminating his advantages on the soul front.

Even though Chu Nan wields the Dragon Slaughter Tower and possesses Ancestral Bloodline, he had no confidence in dealing with such terrifying strong figures.

If confrontation arises, it's not easy to fight.

"Who are the Shenzhao Realm martial artists entering the Qingxuan Secret Realm?" Chu Nan inquired with great concern.

Lin Haoyang candidly answered, "One of them is You Hanyang, the former Saint Son of the Qingxuan Battle Academy, at the peak of Divine Illumination Realm. He will enter the Secret Realm to assist you through the Mansion Master slot, so you can be at ease with him."

"The other one is the Zhang family's first generation direct descendant, Zhang Guangyao, who recently entered the Divine Light Realm. You Hanyang is more than capable of dealing with him."

"As for the last one..."

Lin Yian's face became solemn, quickly answering, "It is the current Saintess of the Qingxuan Battle Academy, Huo Lingjun from the Imperial Capital's Strong Clan Huo Family, who seized my Red Phoenix Battle Body. She is said to be at the second level of the Yang Wheel Realm now, with extremely solid foundations."

"Some had seen, Huo Lingjun utilizing the Red Phoenix True Body, incinerated a terrifying demon beast at the Yang Wheel Third Level into ashes!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yian silently clenched her fist and said, "After obtaining my War Body, Huo Lingjun has been boasting. It is said that after the Qingxuan Secret Realm exploration concludes, she can return to the Imperial Capital Huo Family and be cultivated with all the resources of the Huo Family."

"With the help of the Imperial Capital's strong clan, who knows when this blood feud can be avenged."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan also felt compassion; if Huo Lingjun returns to the Imperial Capital, Lin Yian's chance for revenge is remote.

Moreover, if they encounter her during this Qingxuan Secret Realm entry, it could lead to significant conflict again.

Lin Haoyang patted Lin Yian's shoulder and advised, "The physique taken is ultimately not her own. Sooner or later, Huo Lingjun will suffer backlash. You should calmly cultivate and wait for an opportunity to act."

"However, Huo Lingjun and the Zhang family are not familiar; your interests do not conflict with hers."

"This time entering the Qingxuan Secret Realm, avoid provoking Huo Lingjun; focus on locating the ancestor's remains. If we cannot overcome this crisis, then don't talk about revenge."

Lin Yian understood the bigger picture, so she nodded, "Don't worry, Father, I know what to do."

Chu Nan also said at this time, "Uncle Lin, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you entrusted."

The Qingxuan Secret Realm contains countless opportunities; it's a chance to rapidly enhance oneself. Without Lin Haoyang, I would miss this opportunity.

Therefore, no matter what, he cannot give up this opportunity.

Next, Chu Nan asked again, "Uncle Lin, how much longer until we can enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm?"

"After today, there are still eight days. In these eight days, stay here and cultivate, strive to enhance your cultivation before the Secret Realm opens." Lin Haoyang looked at Chu Nan and urged.

Chu Nan nodded.

In eight days, with the help of the Dragon Slaughter Tower and essential stones, he can elevate to the Yang Wheel Seventh Level. By then, he'll be able to exchange for a mid-level fire-attribute martial skill at the War Academy's Scripture Pavilion.

While Chu Nan remained with the Lin Family to cultivate, preparing to break through to the Yang Wheel Seventh Level, on the other side of the Qingxuan Mansion, the Zhang Family was also bustling.

Qingxuan Mansion, Zhang Family, late night.

Zhang Lei, the head of the Zhang Family, a middle-aged man with a face like it was carved by a knife, a six-level Divine Illumination Realm martial artist, a being whose mere stomp could cause the entire Qingxuan Mansion to tremble, was currently bending over, exhibiting a servile smile.

"Miss Huo, this journey to the Qingxuan Secret Realm is all up to you." Zhang Lei squinted his eyes and respectfully said.

In the inner hall of the Zhang Family, a magnificently-dressed girl sat directly at the head of the Zhang Family table.

Her face was exquisite and beautiful, with a tall figure exuding an imposing demeanor.

Her eyes, though slightly open, emitted an authoritative aura befitting royalty, a majestic and indomitable presence enveloping her.

The person was none other than Huo Lingjun from the imperial clan who seized Lin Yian's Red Phoenix Battle Body!

It's no wonder Zhang Lei is so obsequious; Huo Lingjun's background is significant. She is from an imperial strong clan.

Those who hold the title of strong clan in the Imperial Capital invariably have Yunhai Realm martial artists, at least ten or more!

As the core of the Celestial Crossing Realm, Divine Illumination Realm martial artists are as common as cattle hairs, and any one of them can bring about a catastrophe for the Zhang Family.

Huo Lingjun slightly raised her chin, looked at Zhang Lei slantwise, and nonchalantly said, "I agree to your request, but as agreed beforehand, your Zhang family will help me obtain the ultimate inheritance in the Qingxuan Secret Realm."

A smile instantly appeared on Zhang Lei's face as he said, "Miss Huo, rest assured, everyone from my Zhang Family will go through fire and water for you in the Secret Realm, no matter what."

"Even if it's to the death, we will help you obtain the ultimate inheritance!"

"Hmm~" Huo Lingjun nodded lightly, then a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, "If so, after leaving the Qingxuan Secret Realm, let's annihilate the Lin Family."

"And then you become the new Mansion Master of Qingxuan Mansion..."
