"You little bastard, what are you saying!" Ma Ju's eyes widened, emanating an astounding killing intent.

Before Chu Nan could reply, Gu Nianxue spoke first: "Didn't you hear clearly? I told you to get lost!"

Song Zhen was also furious and resentfully said: "Gu Nianxue, no matter what, you must come with us today!"

If he could marry a Cold Frost Battle Body, the Song family might one day ascend to the ranks of the strong races in the Imperial Capital!

With that, Song Zhen swiftly moved in front of Chu Nan, reaching out to grab Gu Nianxue.

He wanted to forcibly take Gu Nianxue away right in front of Chu Nan.

"How dare you!" Chu Nan's eyes were like lightning, and with a snap, he slapped Song Zhen, shattering his teeth, swelling his cheek, and sending his body flying back, crashing onto the ground.

"Chu Nan actually hit Song Zhen!" Everyone present was astonished by what they saw.

Ma Ju jumped in fury, charging toward Chu Nan: "You little bastard, how dare you hurt my grandson, I'll skin you alive!"

"A mere Spirit Pill Realm cultivator dares to ambush me, I'll kill you!" Song Zhen got up and charged at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan faced the two Yang Wheel Martial Artists without fear, as long as he used the Desolate Profound Transformation, these people wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Just as both sides were about to clash, Gu Qiu and several elders of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect intervened.

"You dare harm people in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, even if you're from the Imperial Capital, it won't be allowed!"

Rumble!

In a flash of lightning and stones, two screams followed.

Ma Ju and Song Zhen spat blood, beaten black and blue by the joint attack of several elders, looking utterly pathetic as they were flung out of the room.

"Damned, deceitful, how dare the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect hurt the Ma family!" Ma Ju was exasperated but dared not act.

Song Zhen, with fear in his eyes, hid behind Ma Ju.

At this moment, Chu Nan stepped forward, yelling sternly: "Gu Nianxue is none of the Ma family's business, nor the Song family's. You think you're worthy of taking her?"

Gu Qiu unleashed his cultivation and said: "Get lost, or I'll surely kill you!"

With Gu Nianxue's cold poison dispelled, Gu Qiu's worries vanished, and he felt invigorated.

"Alright, alright, Gu Qiu, you wait, this matter is not over!" Ma Ju grumbled in hatred, then pulled Song Zhen and flew away.

With the departure of the two, the tense atmosphere dispersed. Gu Qiu thanked everyone, saying: "Thank you, fellow cultivators, for your help, or I wouldn't have known how to resolve today's issue."

"No need for thanks, Elder Gu has done great service for the sect, this small matter is nothing." The elders laughed heartily and gradually left after the crisis was over.

At this moment, Gu Nianxue gratefully said to Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, thank you so much today. Without you, I'm afraid I would have..."

As she spoke, a hint of sorrow flashed in Gu Nianxue's eyes.

Gu Qiu looked at Chu Nan seriously and said: "Chu Nan, no matter what happens in the future, you can come to me, whether it's climbing mountains or diving into fire, I'll not refuse even at the cost of a thousand deaths!"

"It was a mere lift of the hand." Chu Nan said calmly, "Senior Sister Gu is my friend, and as the top of the True Inheritance List, I should protect the sect disciples."

Gu Nianxue's eyes brightened in disbelief as she said: "You became the top of the True Inheritance List?"

"Thanks to the sect leader for taking me as a disciple, I just had the chance to become the top." Chu Nan said humbly without arrogance.

Gu Nianxue was stupefied, it was just over two months since their last meeting, and Chu Nan, who wasn't even a Spirit Pill then, had now become the top of the True Inheritance List.

If it weren't for the real experience she just went through, she would have thought she was dreaming.

"It's truly unbelievable." Gu Nianxue only felt her mind was in a jumble.

At this moment, Gu Qiu's eyes shifted, and he suddenly said to Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, Nianxue just awoke, I'm worried that the cold poison might retaliate, so I hope she can cultivate with you for a while."

"That way, if anything unexpected happens, you can act in time."

Hearing this, Gu Nianxue was surprised and said: "Father, I've already awakened the Cold Frost Battle Body, the cold poison is no longer a threat. You..."

Before she could finish, Gu Qiu glared at Gu Nianxue and scolded: "What do you know, young girl, you just woke up, and your cultivation technique is just barely started, if something happens, as your father, I have no way to handle it."

"And Chu Nan is very experienced, so it's safer for you to follow him."

Having gone through so much, looking over the entire Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, Gu Qiu felt that entrusting Gu Nianxue to Chu Nan was the most reliable, so he wanted to take this opportunity to bring the two closer together.

Chu Nan looked pensive and wanted to refuse, after all, he had too many secrets he didn't want others to discover.

Then Kui Guang said: "Gu Qiu is right, in Gu Nianxue's current state, following you might be the best choice."

Upon hearing Kui Guang's words, Chu Nan said to Gu Nianxue: "If that's the case, you can cultivate at my residence. The environment there is better than here."

Seeing that Chu Nan also agreed, Gu Nianxue thought about being alone with him, feeling a little shy, she lowered her head and said: "Alright, let's go now."

With that, Chu Nan and Gu Nianxue slowly left.

Gu Qiu watched them leave, sighing: "I hope that Ma Ju doesn't come back."

...

Outside the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, Ma Ju and Song Zhen were hurrying away in a sorry state.

Song Zhen said unwillingly: "Grandmother, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"That Gu Nianxue has a Cold Frost Battle Body, capturing her primal yin would greatly benefit me as your grandson, I really don't want to give up."

Thinking of Gu Nianxue's stunning appearance, Song Zhen couldn't suppress himself.

"What's the rush!" Ma Ju snorted coldly and said, "We can't handle them; we can let others do it, can't we?"

"This time, I'll invite Gu Nianxue's mother. With her, I don't believe they won't agree."

"By then, grandmother will make the decision to have Gu Nianxue's mother marry her off to you."

Song Zhen, hearing this, was overjoyed: "I knew grandmother is the best to me!"

...

Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, Sword Peak.

After becoming the top of the True Inheritance List, Chu Nan acquired a brand-new residence on Sword Peak, second only to Chen Kaiyang's palace.

After entering the residence, Chu Nan arranged a room for Gu Nianxue and then went straight to find a place to cultivate himself.

Since leaving Haotian Tower, he hadn't yet summarized his gains, especially the Wave-Turning Soul Forging Technique, which he hadn't found the opportunity to cultivate.

Flipping through books, the heart method of the Wave-Turning Soul Forging Technique lingered in his mind, giving Chu Nan a whole new understanding of the soul.

Just like the cultivation of martial artists, the soul also has its grades.

Mortal Soul, Extraordinary Soul, Saint Soul, and Holy Soul.

Beyond the extraordinary, each grade is divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Among them, Martial Arts Realm, Spirit Pill Realm, and Yang Wheel Realm all belong to the category of Mortal Souls, capable of only simple applications like probing cultivation, and are easily dealt with.

Upon breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm, the soul transforms, stepping into the early stage of the extraordinary, opening up the sea of consciousness, and utilizing spiritual sense, with endless mysteries.

Chu Nan is currently in this stage.

If the soul wants to break through further, it requires martial arts cultivation to advance to a higher realm, or the cultivation of corresponding techniques.

Although the Wave-Turning Soul Forging Technique is not of high grade and progresses slowly, it is sufficient for Chu Nan at present.

"Phew~" Chu Nan let out a long breath as he ended his cultivation.

At this moment, Kui Guang said to Chu Nan: "Opening the sea of consciousness allows for attacking an enemy's soul with spiritual sense, I can teach you a method to make you invincible!"
