"Where is this?"

Chu Nan slowly sat up, blankly looking around.

He found himself on a vast plain, seemingly endless at first glance.

It wasn't until he saw the eight damaged puppets that Chu Nan shook his head, recalling everything.

The Bloodthirsty Mad Flood Dragon self-destructed, allowing Huo Lingjun to escape, while the Bronze Puppet held him tightly, ensuring he wasn't killed by the explosion.

As a result, the Cyan Profound Secret Realm couldn't withstand the power of the self-destruction and began to collapse.

The Secret Realm fractured, and the chaotic spatial currents swallowed everything, engulfing him and the Bronze Puppet into the turbulence.

Ultimately, relying on the puppet's sturdy body for protection, he barely survived the spatial currents.

However, seeing the condition of these eight puppets, Chu Nan knew they had also suffered significant damage, and recovery would undoubtedly be troublesome.

"Though you are just puppets, you saved my life, and I will certainly restore you,"

Chu Nan slowly stood up, changed his clothes first, and then collected all the puppets into his storage bag.

While in the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, he had given all his Primordial Stones to these puppets. At this moment, he couldn't use Primordial Stones to awaken the puppets and ask for recovery methods.

He planned to find a nearby city to exchange the treasures on him for Primordial Stones to activate the puppets for repair.

With a long sigh of relief, although Chu Nan narrowly escaped death, thanks to the protection of the Bronze Puppet and the healing ability of Treasure Blood, he almost had no injuries on his body.

At present, the most important thing is to figure out where this place is; if it's too far from the Cyan Profound Mansion, it will be troublesome.

Huo Lingjun escaped; if she can't find him, she might retaliate against the Lin Family or even the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Chu Nan cannot overlook this; he must return to the Cyan Profound Mansion as soon as possible to understand the situation.

However, he did not hastily search for people but rather sought a hidden place to check out what he gained from the Cyan Profound Secret Realm.

In over half a month in the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, his gains were not small.

A high-grade Earth Realm Martial Skill, Wind Thunder Technique, as well as some Spirit Martial weapons, elixirs, and spirit plants. Apart from Wind Thunder Technique, the other items combined could be worth hundreds of Primordial Stones.

This is comparable to the total wealth of an average Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist.

Of course, besides these, the biggest harvest of this trip was actually snatching six-tenths of the Jade Person from Huo Lingjun's hands.

The Jade Person is a relic left by a strong cultivator of the Unification Realm, even coveted by Huo Lingjun of the Imperial Capital's powerful races, its preciousness far surpasses Wind Thunder Technique.

Slowly taking out the Jade Person, Chu Nan examined it carefully but couldn't see any wonder.

There was no reaction to the blood droplet, so Chu Nan chose to directly channel spiritual power into it. At this time, half of the Jade Person finally changed.

Only to see the entire Jade Person emit a green light, immediately followed by golden characters like live shrimps emerging from the Jade Person, presenting themselves in front of Chu Nan.

Chu Nan frowned slightly; these golden characters were extremely complex, each seeming to be alive, and he simply couldn't understand them.

"Sword Venerable Master, what do these characters mean?" Chu Nan couldn't help but ask Kui Guang.

Kui Guang's spirit body floated out from Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness, stared at these characters for a long time, and finally, with some surprise, said: "Chu Nan, you've truly encountered a great fortune!"

An otherworldly light flashed in Chu Nan's eyes; anything that could be praised by Kui Guang was surely something good without a doubt.

"This is a Celestial Tier lower-grade soul cultivation method, Celestial Soul Crossing!"

"This method is considered an extremely superior soul cultivation technique in the Celestial Crossing Realm, divided into three sections."

"You obtained the first two sections, Soul Devourer and Soul Separation. Soul Devourer is the method of cultivating the soul."

"Soul Separation is what lets the soul separate from the body, enabling the creation of a clone or Divine Traveling Heaven and Earth."

"The former allows creating a second body for oneself, the latter lets the soul remain outside the body for long periods, even if the body is destroyed, the soul can still persist, waiting for the opportunity to seize another body."

"However, here only the method for creating a clone is available; Divine Traveling Heaven and Earth should be with Huo Lingjun."

"The final part, War Soul, which is the method of using the soul to battle, should also be with Huo Lingjun."

"But with me here, if you continue cultivating the Ten Directions Frightening Soul Sword, you can compensate for this shortcoming and won't fear Huo Lingjun's War Soul."

As the words fell, Kui Guang waved a hand, causing the golden characters that Chu Nan originally couldn't understand to begin transforming, turning into forms he could recognize.

Chu Nan's eyes lit up, and he carefully read through what he mastered of Celestial Soul Crossing repeatedly.

In the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "This truly is a marvel of creation, with it my soul strength might even be comparable to that of the Cloud Sea Realm!"

Chu Nan examined the Soul Devourer section thoroughly, finding a similarity in theme with the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Scripture.

The Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Scripture enhances one's strength by devouring the blood and flesh of demon beasts, while the Soul Devourer of Celestial Soul Crossing can devour demon beast souls to strengthen one's own soul, it can even work on humans.

Using this method, the soul can become immensely powerful in a short period, though it has considerable drawbacks.

Devouring too many souls risks being influenced by others' souls, leading to madness if the will isn't strong enough, though devouring demon beasts is much safer due to their simpler thoughts.

As for Soul Separation, although not often applicable in combat, it is extremely unique.

The preserved method for creating a clone can allow Chu Nan to have an additional body, instantly boosting power and providing a chance for rebirth in some sense!

Not having acquired Divine Traveling Heaven and Earth didn't leave Chu Nan regretful; he hoped he would never have to use it.

This Celestial Soul Crossing is a Celestial Tier secret technique, even as lower-grade, it is extremely precious.

One must know that Celestial Tier techniques are the highest-grade techniques in the lower realm, with only the top forces possessing abundant Celestial Tier legacies.

Not to mention in the Celestial Crossing Realm, Celestial Tier techniques are likely fewer than ten in the Imperial Capital.

"Next, I can primarily cultivate my soul, taking it to the Extraordinary Perfection stage, perhaps even reaching the Saint stage!"

"Breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm with a soul of such quality will bring benefits beyond imagination."

Chu Nan's realm had already solidified at the peak of the eighth level of the Yang Wheel, able to reach the ninth level at any time, preparing for breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm.

Especially the creation of Dao Essence is of utmost importance.

He had seen three types of Dao Essence: You Hanyang's flame, Zhang Guangyao's sun, and Huo Lingjun's phoenix.

Among them, Huo Lingjun's phoenix was the most solid and dazzling, far stronger in power, making the former two seem like glowing bugs compared to the moon, incomparable in level.

And Chu Nan wanted to create an even stronger Dao Essence than Huo Lingjun's.

With Celestial Soul Crossing in mind, Chu Nan soon left the area to find the nearest city, ensuring his location so he can return to the Cyan Profound Mansion.
