A full day and night passed. After Chu Nan absorbed one hundred and eight Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, the Yin Evil Celestial Eye finally showed an astonishing change.

The purple radiance burst forth like a blazing sun, transforming the originally silver lines representing the Celestial Eye directly into gold.

Combined, it resembled a flame burning.

As the Yin Evil Celestial Eye advanced to the profound tier, Chu Nan felt that his body was somewhat different. Touching the Yin Evil Qi on the rock wall no longer caused him much pain.

Evidently, his ability to withstand the Yin Evil Qi had become stronger than before.

What surprised Chu Nan the most was that, whereas the Yin Evil Celestial Eye had previously only been able to absorb Yin Evil Qi from the outside to accumulate power, it could now produce Yin Evil Qi on its own.

Although this process was very slow, it was nevertheless an unexpected joy.

Unfortunately, advancing from the profound tier to the earth tier rendered the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls useless; more precious treasures were required.

Chu Nan planned to return to Cyan Profound Mansion and visit the Penitence Cliff, where there were still some Celestial Eye Fruits tainted with Yin Evil Qi, which might prove useful.

Then, Chu Nan excavated all the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls from the rock wall, collecting nearly five hundred in total, and carefully stored them in his storage bag.

The Yin Evil Qi contained in these Yin Evil Spirit Pearls was very pure, greatly useful whether for combat or corpse refinement.

After accomplishing all this, Chu Nan examined the desk, wooden bed, and dressing table, but found nothing of value.

However, Chu Nan was not disappointed, as the method to enhance the Celestial Eye and the Yin Sha Tribulation Light were already considerable gains.

As for the secrets of the Sword Sect of the Infinite Sky and Saintess Jiang Ling, Chu Nan was curious, but had no means to uncover them.

"Looks like I should prepare to leave. If Chu Lingshan thinks I'm dead and leaves here, that would be troublesome."

"With my current abilities, I'm afraid I still can't leave here alone."

Just as Chu Nan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

He abruptly turned back to look at the White Jade Coffin... and the maid's corpse beside it.

The corpse, surviving through the ages and uncorrupted, contained the densest Yin Evil Qi Chu Nan had ever seen in a body, far exceeding that of the ancestor of the Lin family from the Lianyun Sea Realm.

Undoubtedly, this maid was a peerless expert during her lifetime.

Highly likely to be a martial artist at the Unity Realm above the Sea of Clouds Realm!

If he could refine her into his Spirit Corpse, it would undoubtedly be a trump card on par with a Bronze Puppet.

"Should I give it a try?" Chu Nan hesitated.

A corpse of such a level might have self-protective measures, and acting rashly might cause a backlash...

Yet faced with such a rare opportunity, Chu Nan was reluctant to give it up easily.

After a long contemplation, he gritted his teeth and said, "This maid's master Jiang Ling granted me this inheritance, making me her master's successor."

"Arguably, I should also be considered her master, thus taking her with me is justifiable."

Upon reaching this realization, Chu Nan slowly approached the maid's corpse, and with a wave of his hand...

The maid's corpse disappeared instantly, to which Chu Nan happily exclaimed, "It works!"

Finally, Chu Nan bowed to the White Jade Coffin before using the Celestial Eye to gaze at the tomb door.

As expected, when Chu Nan's Celestial Eye looked at the tomb door, the closed tomb chamber opened once again.

Not daring to linger there, Chu Nan hurried out.

As soon as he exited, the tomb door shut again, and Chu Lingshan approached him, eagerly asking, "Chu Nan, did you obtain the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls?"

Chu Nan nodded, then produced three Yin Evil Spirit Pearls from his storage bag, saying, "I didn't disappoint you, Disciple found as many as three!"

"So there really were Yin Evil Spirit Pearls in there!" Chu Lingshan's mouth quivered with excitement, an unexpected reaction from a powerful figure of the Sea of Clouds Realm.

Following that, Chu Lingshan asked, "Besides the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, was there anything else inside?"

Chu Nan recounted everything he saw without hiding his gains, saying, "The items inside looked very dangerous. I dared not touch them. After finding these few Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, I came out."

Chu Lingshan refrained from probing further as he didn't believe Chu Nan obtained nothing else.

But it didn't matter anymore; as long as he got the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, Chu Nan could have even obtained a top celestial-tier cultivation technique, and he wouldn't care.

"Chu Nan, you have done a great service for me. I'll now take you out. Once I complete my seclusion, you'll be the future Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect!" Chu Lingshan stated solemnly, patting Chu Nan on the shoulder.

Yet, Chu Nan's face fell, feeling that the more Chu Lingshan promised him, the more he worried about potential problems.

Now, he just wanted to leave the Spirit Corpse Sect quickly, to digest everything he gained, and then leave there forever.

Afterward, Chu Lingshan took Chu Nan out of the eye of the qi.

After exiting the eye of the qi, Chu Lingshan asked, "Are you returning to the Sect or staying here?"

With hundreds of Yin Evil Spirit Pearls and the corpse of a suspected Unity Realm martial artist, Chu Nan had no reason to stay on Mount Myriad of Corpses, so he said, "Disciple wishes to return to the Sect first."

Chu Lingshan nodded and said, "Alright, then I will personally escort you back."

…

At the outskirts of Mount Myriad of Corpses, Zhao Lu was chatting with a few fellow disciples while walking towards the exit of Mount Myriad of Corpses.

"Why don't you believe what I am saying? Chu Nan is truly the Sect Leader's son."

"I saw with my own eyes that the Yin Evil Qi had no effect on him. He was inside as if bathing, and he went straight to the core area with just a Flying Corpse."

"Tell me, other than the rumored Sect Leader's son who has been practicing at Mount Myriad of Corpses, who else in the entire Sect could do that?"

A thin, bald young man chuckled and said, "Zhao Lu, you're overthinking."

"I'm Elder Chen's disciple, so I'm quite clear about Chu Nan's background."

"He only joined the Sect a few days ago and even stole the Spirit Pill Realm's corpse I had my eyes on during the assessment; my master told me so personally."

"I plan to settle accounts with Chu Nan when I return to the Sect."

Finally, a beautiful woman also chimed in, "Senior Brother Zhao, perhaps Chu Nan just possesses some treasure, and it just so happens to have the same surname as the Sect Leader."

"If he really is the Sect Leader's disciple, why would he take the entry assessment?"

"With his status, he would qualify for a direct promotion to true disciple!"

Faced with their skepticism, Zhao Lu grew red with anxiety and said, "Sun Chun, Qian Yan, why won't you believe me?"

"There aren't so many coincidences in the world, sharing the surname Chu and immune to Yin Evil Qi; besides knowing he just joined, do you really know anything about Chu Nan's background?"

"Perhaps he's just disguising himself low-key."

Qian Yan sighed, "Senior Brother Zhao, whether Chu Nan is the Sect Leader's son you'll know when you return to the Sect. There's no point arguing here."

Chen Bo's disciple Sun Chun insisted, "I still don't believe Chu Nan is the Sect Leader's son. I even suspect the Sect Leader has no offspring."

"That talk of the Sect Leader's son training at Mount Myriad of Corpses is total nonsense."

Boom!

Just as Sun Chun finished speaking, a rainbow beam pierced through the pitch-black clouds of Mount Myriad of Corpses, racing towards them.

Chu Lingshan's cold gaze fixed on the people below, locking onto the astonished Sun Chun...
