Slap!

Chu Lingshan, with a wave from a distance, slapped Sun Chun down, pinning him into the ground like a nail, leaving only his head exposed.

"Go back and tell Chen Bo to properly discipline his disciples. Next time there's any nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Chu Lingshan's voice gradually faded away, leaving Zhao Lu and the others staring at each other.

"Brother Sun!" Qian Yan exclaimed, as he and Lin Lu pulled him out of the ground.

As soon as he was freed, Sun Chun confidently and decisively said, "Chu Nan must be the Sect Leader's only son!"

Zhao Lu was overjoyed that someone finally agreed with him.

But Qian Yan was a bit confused and said, "Brother Sun, didn't you just say that Chu Nan is not the Sect Leader's son?"

Sun Chun ignored Qian Yan and instead asked Zhao Lu, "I haven't seen Chu Nan, but I just saw someone beside the Sect Leader. Was that Chu Nan?"

Zhao Lu hadn't seen clearly either, but judging from the color of the clothes, it certainly seemed like Chu Nan.

So Zhao Lu nodded and said, "That's right, it was indeed Chu Nan."

"That explains it; both Chu Nan and the Sect Leader have the surname Chu. Who else could be following the Sect Leader but his son?" Sun Chun slapped his forehead, regretful, "I was such a fool, just babbling nonsense just now."

"To say not only that Chu Nan isn't the Sect Leader's son but also that the Sect Leader has no children at all — that's courting death!"

Qian Yan also felt a chill, saying, "Brother Sun, you really walked through the gates of hell. If the Sect Leader had killed you just now, no one would have dared to say otherwise."

Zhao Lu felt secretly pleased, thinking, "I said Chu Nan was the Sect Leader's son, and none of you believed me."

How about now? Do you believe me?

He speculated that Chu Nan did not want to reveal his identity, probably intending to establish himself in the Sect on his own merit.

He thought he should seize the opportunity to curry favor, paving his way to success in the Spirit Corpse Sect.

Qian Yan also appeared thoughtful, a slight smile occasionally appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Only Sun Chun seemed flustered, worrying if he could ever have a favorable position in the Sect after offending the Sect Leader's son.

He needed to inform his master about this matter and strive to gain the future Sect Leader's goodwill before things became irreversible.

...

After escorting Chu Nan back to the Spirit Corpse Sect, Chu Lingshan returned to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses.

Meanwhile, Chu Nan returned directly to his residence, shutting windows and doors to avoid any disturbance.

Taking out the maid's corpse retrieved from Jiang Ling's tomb chamber, Chu Nan's heart pounded violently, a thread of tension appearing in his expression.

Of course, his discomposure was not due to the maid's beauty but because of her spiritual power during her lifetime.

If she indeed was a martial artist above the Cloud Sea Realm, then the body before him would easily reach the rank of Flying Corpse.

Or perhaps become a Wandering Corpse, or even a Hidden Corpse.

If Chu Nan's own realm broke through, becoming stronger, there was a slight chance the body could reach the Undying Bone realm.

The Undying Bone transcends the Cloud Sea Realm, and possessing such a spirit corpse, he would be invincible throughout the Celestial Crossing Realm.

The Imperial Capital and all strong races would be insignificant.

"Next, let me see just how remarkable you are."

As he finished speaking, Chu Nan took out all the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, ready for emergencies.

Stimulating the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, having broken through the mysterious stage, the Celestial Eye now controlled the Yin Evil Qi with great ease.

Under the gaze of the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, he could see the enormous amount of Yin Evil Qi within the maid's body.

Chu Nan even speculated that if all the Yin Evil Qi within the maid were to erupt, it could directly engulf the entire Spirit Corpse Sect.

The more Yin Evil Qi within the body, the higher the potential refining limit of the spirit corpse.

Seeing the massive Yin Evil Qi inside the maid's body, Chu Nan became even more confident about refining her into a Hidden Corpse. However, this would be a long process; refining her as a Wandering Corpse would already be an achievement.

Chu Nan began making hand seals, spiritual power transforming into golden beams striking the maid's body.

Under the control of the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, the Yin Evil Qi within the maid's body began flowing, causing the corpse's aura to change.

Bang!

After an incense stick's worth of time, a green light flickered over the maid's body, successfully reaching Green Corpse.

Yet Chu Nan wasn't surprised; it was logical for the corpse to be refined into a Green Corpse.

An hour later, a purple light flashed, and the maid advanced to Purple Corpse.

Two hours later, a white light flickered, and the maid advanced to Flying Corpse...

Anticipation in Chu Nan's eyes grew stronger, yet he knew advancing a Flying Corpse to Wandering Corpse was ten times more challenging than all previous advancements combined.

But he firmly believed it was only a matter of time before becoming a Wandering Corpse.

What surprised Chu Nan most was not the maid's advancement speed, but rather her lack of growing hair regardless of advancement.

He had seen other spirit corpses, the higher the grade, the more vigorous the hair.

Yet this maid remained unchanged from her initial state; her appearance bore no alterations.

Chu Nan speculated that this phenomenon was likely because the maid's spiritual power during her lifetime was too strong, making certain changes ineffective on her.

Night quickly approached, beads of sweat dotted Chu Nan's forehead, while excitement in his eyes grew even more intense.

Finally, as the maid's body emitted an explosive surge, she advanced to Wandering Corpse, a being comparable to a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist!

Yet this still did not cause Chu Nan to halt; his goal was to refine a Hidden Corpse comparable to the Cloud Sea Realm.

Possessing a Hidden Corpse when returning to Cyan Profound Mansion, he would have enough power to handle any crisis.

In a blink, five days had passed since Chu Nan joined the Spirit Corpse Sect, with the maid advancing to medium-grade Wandering Corpse, boasting the power of a fourth-tier Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist.

To raise a body from zero to medium-grade Wandering Corpse in less than five days, if this were revealed, it would cause a tremendous upheaval in the entire Spirit Corpse Sect.

This rapid progress benefited from the Yin Evil Celestial Eye's deft control over Yin Evil Qi, but more crucially, it was due to the maid's unimaginable spiritual power during her lifetime.

Chu Nan decided to push himself to bring the spirit corpse to high-grade Wandering Corpse.

Just as he was focusing entirely, he vaguely saw the maid blink.

Chu Nan paused slightly, then laughed quietly, saying, "It seems like I'm a bit exhausted these days, seeing things. How could a being dead for countless years come back to life?"

He ignored it and continued refining the spirit corpse.

"Was it you who turned me into a spirit corpse?" the maid's eyes, as indifferent as a dead fish's, conveyed a glacial chill without any trace of emotion.

Chu Nan was slightly stunned, and the entire room plunged into brief silence.

He smiled and shook his head, quickly changing his expression as a flash of sword light appeared. Desolate Profound Transformation was activated, releasing the nine Martial Wheels simultaneously.

The four Martial Intents of Wind, Thunder, Fire, and Sword fused together.

His cultivation soared to the peak, as the Blood Pattern Sword swung mercilessly toward the maid.

"Old monster, die for me!"
