Chu Nan swept the area with his Spiritual Sense, his gaze sharp as a sword, examining every inch of his surroundings.

Liang Yu and Zhan Peng also watched anxiously. They were only at the Divine Illumination Realm, and their perception was not keen enough to locate where the treasures left by the former emperor of the Zhou Kingdom might be hidden.

"Nothing, it can actually block my extraordinary top-grade soul power?" Chu Nan looked at the heaps of white bones around him, his heart filled with suspicion.

His strength now was not weak, and his soul's intensity was unmatched even by some cultivators at the ninth level of the heavens.

Yet, the former emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, who was at most at the Cloud Sea Realm during his life, had means to resist extraordinary top-grade Spiritual Sense. No wonder he could hide such an opportunity for thousands of years without being discovered.

Or perhaps, this opportunity had long been taken, which is why it hadn't revealed itself.

Staring at the endless white bones, the puzzled Chu Nan suddenly had a bright look in his eyes. His forehead shone with a purple light as the Yin Evil Celestial Eye slowly opened.

"Since this place is filled with bones, it will inevitably accumulate Yin Evil Qi. The former emperor of the Zhou Kingdom was not weak in cultivation during his life. The opportunity he forged might be extremely rich in Yin Evil Qi."

Chu Nan swept the surroundings with the Yin Evil Celestial Eye and soon discovered a dense, night-like concentration of Yin Evil Qi not far in front of him.

"This is it, even if this isn't the place of opportunity, it surely hides a powerful Spirit Corpse!"

Without any hesitation, the Sword Aura flashed in Chu Nan's eyes, and under the astonished gazes of Liang Yu and Zhan Peng, he drew his sword.

The Sword Light of the Blood Pattern Sword obliterated countless skeletons, in an instant wiping out the mountain of bones hundreds of meters in front of Chu Nan!

The earth was slashed open by the Sword Qi, revealing a hideous abyss.

The cold Yin Evil Qi blew out from the abyss, causing Liang Yu and Zhan Peng's faces to turn pale.

"Go!" Before the two could react, Chu Nan grabbed them from a distance and flew into the abyss. The deeper they went, the denser the Yin Evil Qi became, with an indescribable howl echoing faintly within the abyss.

Liang Yu's face turned pale as paper. The surroundings filled her with fear, and even though this was her ancestral land, she couldn't help but feel a trace of dread.

Chu Nan protected Liang Yu and Zhan Peng. With the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, he was completely fearless of the Yin Evil Qi here.

Compared to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses where the Spirit Corpse Sect once resided, the Yin Evil Qi here was too weak to pose any threat to Chu Nan.

Soon, the three arrived at the deepest part of the abyss, where not a glimmer of light could be seen.

The cold atmosphere instilled fear in Liang Yu, who unconsciously moved closer to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan didn't mind this at all. He harbored no intent to kill the two, and seizing the opportunity here was merely an act of convenience.

"Miss, this truly is the opportunity left by the former emperor!" Zhan Peng said respectfully to Liang Yu.

Liang Yu took a cold breath, somewhat resentful, and said, "Elder, I hope you will adhere to the agreement we established earlier."

Chu Nan said nothing, leading the two into the darkness ahead.

Liang Yu and Zhan Peng, seeing this scene, immediately showed displeasure on their faces but dared not act upon it.

As they pressed on, Chu Nan noticed that the indescribable howling grew louder as they went deeper, as if screaming in his ear.

"What exactly is ahead?" Even with Chu Nan's knowledge, he couldn't help but become vigilant at this point.

Finally, they reached the end of the abyss, stepping out of the darkness into a dazzling cavern, where peculiar stones stood everywhere, glowing with different colors.

However, what caught Chu Nan's attention wasn't these, but a Bronze Lamp and a tattered dirt-yellow Giant Banner.

The Bronze Lamp was as large as a human head, intricately carved with cloud patterns that glowed vividly as the light flowed over them. Inside, a gray flame flickered, swaying as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

As for the dirt-yellow Giant Banner, it was even more peculiar, stretching over thirty feet long, fluttering without any wind.

Occasionally, ferocious human faces appeared on its surface, with chilling howls emanating from within. Even Chu Nan, with his soul having reached an extraordinary top-grade state, felt a slight sting.

"What are these things?" Chu Nan instinctively sensed they were rare Supreme Treasures, each exuding a mysterious aura.

Before the Qin Kingdom unified the Celestial Crossing Realm, though there were no ninth-level cultivators, there were treasures left from before the two realms were divided.

The two treasures before him appeared very ancient, likely Supreme Treasures from the time before the division of the two realms.

"Are these the treasures left by the former emperor of the Zhou Kingdom for us to revive the kingdom?" Zhan Peng trembled all over with excitement, unable to hold back his tears.

Liang Yu, as a member of the Zhou Kingdom's royal family, was more composed than Zhan Peng. Her gaze remained fixed on Chu Nan, knowing that whether they could obtain these two treasures depended entirely on Chu Nan's decision.

Yet, Chu Nan did not hastily seize the treasures. Arriving here with such ease made him think things might not be that simple.

Thus, Chu Nan said, "Miss Liang Yu, you go ahead and fetch the Bronze Lamp, let me take a look."

Liang Yu frowned, and Zhan Peng stepped forward voluntarily, "Elder, let me fetch it instead."

Having said that, Zhan Peng flew into the air and easily grabbed the Bronze Lamp, bringing it back to Liang Yu, "Miss, look, it truly was left by the former emperor for us, easily retrieved!"

Zhan Peng trembled with excitement, already considering the Bronze Lamp as his possession.

Liang Yu appeared calm, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed the turmoil within her heart.

Chu Nan focused his gaze, suddenly frowning fiercely, then said sternly, "Zhan Peng, put down the Bronze Lamp!"

"Elder, this..." Zhan Peng looked troubled, while Liang Yu looked displeased, still trying to make a case.

But before they could speak, Chu Nan drew his sword, ready to strike, "Three breaths, if you don't put it down, don't blame my sword for being heartless!"

Realizing Chu Nan's genuine anger, Zhan Peng dared not act rashly. Liang Yu looked at Chu Nan with a hint of resentment in her eyes, but they didn't dare to resist.

"Zhan Peng, hand it over to the elder," Liang Yu said with blame.

Zhan Peng was just about to hand the Bronze Lamp to Chu Nan when suddenly an unexpected change occurred!

The previously calm Bronze Lamp burst with light, and the swaying flame instantly spread across Zhan Peng's entire body.

"Miss, what is happening, ah..." Zhan Peng cried out in pain, the gray flame burning him as he rolled on the ground.

Moreover, the flame continued to spread towards Liang Yu.

In terror, Liang Yu flew backward, and Chu Nan quickly and decisively struck with the Blood Pattern Sword.

The splendid Sword Light fell upon Zhan Peng but was blocked by the Bronze Lamp.

Immediately, all the flames merged into Zhan Peng's body, and even the Bronze Lamp burrowed into Zhan Peng's Dantian.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted like a volcano centered on Zhan Peng, causing Liang Yu to fearfully exclaim, "Are these the treasures the former emperor left for us? How could this happen!"

Zhan Peng then rose slowly, letting out a sinister laugh, "What a pity, such a pity~"
