The Blood Pattern Sword slashed down with full force.

Chu Nan knew that with his own power, it would be difficult to deal with the awakened spirit corpse, but the next scene still made his heart tremble.

He saw the maid spirit corpse slowly get up, and in the face of Chu Nan's desperate sword strike, she merely flicked her fingertip lightly.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the room, with the sword vibrating crazily as if it were about to snap directly.

The vibration from the sword made Chu Nan's tiger's mouth crack, causing the Blood Pattern Sword to fly out of his grip, scraping past his neck like a long rainbow, and deeply embedded itself in the wall behind him.

Rip~

At the same time, a blood streak cracked open from Chu Nan's neck, just a little more and he could have been beheaded by that strike.

"Is this how martial artists treat their guests nowadays?"

"You turned me into a spirit corpse and still want to kill me, truly a heartless man."

The maid spirit corpse shook her head with a sorrowful look, her face showing emotions similar to those of the living despite being a mere corpse.

"Senior, though I've disturbed your slumber, I can still atone. I'll send you back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses now."

Since the maid spirit corpse did not kill him immediately, Chu Nan believed that her killing intent toward him might not be that strong.

However, the maid spirit corpse became even more resentful, saying: "You are truly irresponsible, turning me into a spirit corpse just to abandon me?"

The more the maid spirit corpse spoke, the sadder she became, even wiping her eyes though she shed no tears.

Chu Nan felt utterly helpless, wondering what on earth this maid spirit corpse wanted.

"So, senior, your meaning is…"

The maid spirit corpse walked straight to Chu Nan's bed, sat down, and said: "Don't worry, although I'm awake, I am still your spirit corpse. I cannot kill you in the short term, or I will return to slumber."

"If you hadn't turned me into a spirit corpse, I wouldn't have been able to regain control of my body."

"Currently, I'm essentially a marionette controlled by my soul, essentially still a dead person."

Hearing the maid's answer, Chu Nan gradually lowered his guard.

Indeed, he could feel the bond between himself and the maid, the unbreakable master-servant relationship between a spirit corpse and its owner!

After escaping the danger, Chu Nan grew curious about the maid spirit corpse's identity.

He asked, "May I inquire, senior, who exactly are you and why were you in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses?"

"The Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses?" The maid spirit corpse showed a hint of surprise, and Chu Nan then explained the cause and effect of the situation, also telling her many current affairs of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

The maid suddenly understood, and with a complex expression, said, "So much has changed, much time has passed since the day I was buried …"

Chu Nan stood beside, not daring to interrupt the maid's reminiscing.

Soon, the maid looked back at Chu Nan and said, "I was once a true disciple of the Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect, and also the personal maid of Saintess Jiang Ling. You can call me Lu Yao."

"Greetings to Senior Lu Yao." Chu Nan said respectfully.

Such a powerful being, yet only a true disciple in the Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect, and she could only be a maid to the Saintess.

Chu Nan was astounded by this revelation and asked again, "Then your current strength…"

Lu Yao thought for a moment, then said, "My physical body is dead, it's hard to return to full strength."

"Having just awoken, my strength is at most at the peak of the Divine Illumination Realm's ninth level, and perhaps in a month, I can recover to the Cloud Sea Realm's level."

Chu Nan was shocked and asked again, "Then what was your cultivation at your peak?"

"Seventh level of the Myriad Forms Realm." Lu Yao said very calmly.

"Hiss~" Chu Nan inhaled sharply, once again shocked by Lu Yao.

After the Cloud Sea realm is the Unity Realm, and the Myriad Forms Realm follows the Unity Realm, yet a martial artist at the seventh level of the Myriad Forms Realm in the Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect was only a true disciple.

What kind of existence was this Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect?

"Don't look at me like that, before the Celestial Crossing Realm split, the Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect was undeniably the number one power, with even many Heavenless Realm experts from the lower realms."

"My cultivation could only stand out among ordinary disciples; there were too many stronger than me."

Lu Yao spoke with some pride and excitement: "Saintess Jiang Ling had already reached the sixth stage of breaking the void, and the second senior brother was also an unparalleled genius of the era, glimpsing the great path to Heavenless within less than a century!"

"As for the Saint Son, the senior brother's cultivation was even more outstanding, dominating an era, he…"

But when she mentioned the senior brother, she suddenly fell silent.

Her face showed an expression of hatred as she said: "That sinner thief of the Dao, he destroyed the Sword Sect, destroyed the Celestial Crossing Realm, he is a criminal of the lower realms…"

"He deserves to die, deserves to die!"

Lu Yao's emotions were out of control, a terrifying pressure began to spread around.

Chu Nan stepped back repeatedly, feeling that Lu Yao might take her anger out on him at any moment.

But shortly after, Lu Yao calmed down and looked at Chu Nan again, saying: "Don't be afraid, you are my master, I won't hurt you."

"I will serve you just as I served the Saintess in the Sword Sect."

"After all, without you, I wouldn't have come back to life…"

Lu Yao said sincerely, but Chu Nan had no intention of getting closer to Lu Yao, this woman's mood swings were too rapid.

"So the Vast Sky Infinite Sword Sect has already disappeared?" Chu Nan asked tentatively.

Lu Yao nodded with sadness: "The Sword Sect was a sacred ground left by invincible experts who ascended from the middle realm, possessing the top martial Dao heritage of the lower realms."

"Even if the entire Celestial Crossing Realm's other forces joined forces, they couldn't destroy it, yet it was ruined by the one they trusted most."

"The Saint Son of the Sword Sect, the greatest Sword Dao talent of all time, a Heavenless Realm expert under a hundred years old, an existence standing at the pinnacle of the lower realms."

Clenching her fist secretly, Lu Yao's eyes seemed to burn with battle fire: "Originally, he was the pride of the Sword Sect, but he coveted that supreme heritage, ultimately destroying everything of the Sword Sect."

"He turned insane, killed the Sect Leader, slaughtered the elders, the sect was nearly razed to the ground, and the Celestial Crossing Realm was split in half by his sword."

"The Saintess took us here to seek refuge, but was killed by him as well…"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Chu Nan was dumbfounded, he quickly approached Lu Yao, incredulously asking: "You're saying the Celestial Crossing Realm split in two because of your senior brother?"

Lu Yao asked in surprise: "Is it that shocking?"

"Though senior brother was insane, his strength was the extreme of the lower realms, splitting the Celestial Crossing Realm with one sword wasn't that hard."

Chu Nan was speechless upon hearing this, splitting the Celestial Crossing Realm in two was talked about by this woman so lightly.

He then asked again: "Now the lower realm is divided into the Celestial Crossing Realm and the Heavenly Balance Realm, but communication between the two realms is difficult, and the Celestial Crossing Realm, for some unknown reason, cannot advance beyond the Cloud Sea Realm."

"Is this also the work of your senior brother?"

If Chu Nan could uncover the secret of why martial artists of the Celestial Crossing Realm could not break through to the Unity Realm from Lu Yao, he might gain a great advantage and truly rise to prominence!
