Yu Luo Mountain, naturally, was the ancestor of the Water Uncle Sword Emperor and Yu Xuanwei.

In the book, the word "Master Ancestor" proves that the Nanwu Sword Sect indeed had a source, and that source was on the other side of the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Similarly, this also indicated... that the first Sect Leader of the Nanwu Sword Sect did not have a high status in that sect, at least he was not qualified to touch the Cultivation Method of the Purple Mansion Realm.

As for the "Master Ancestor's secret words," it likely wasn't something he overheard secretly.

But even if it was overheard, he brought these words through the Ancient Teleportation Array to such a place, and he himself had already reached the peak of the Crimson Palace stage, naturally, he was thinking of a breakthrough.

The breakthrough point fell on the fourteen words "Profound Heart, endure hardship, never part, Divine Soul first unites with heaven and earth."

Below it were numerous notes left by Yu Luo Mountain.

Song Yan carefully read.

The first Sect Leader believed that the core of these fourteen words lay in the words "Profound Heart."

Because only by possessing a Profound Heart could one endure hardship and reach the point where the Divine Soul first unites with heaven and earth.

Only when the Divine Soul unites with heaven and earth has one truly reached the Purple Mansion Realm.

To achieve this, Yu Luo Mountain racked his brains and attempted to compile a set of "Profound Heart Technique" based on all he had learned in his lifetime. This "Profound Heart Technique" was initially crude but had been refined by generations of geniuses of the Nanwu Sword Sect over thousands of years.

The core of the "Profound Heart Technique" was a Visualization Map drawn on special paper.

Yu Luo Mountain said with great pride that he accidentally saw this map at the core of the forbidden area set up by the ancestors, and only Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were allowed to enter that core forbidden area.

As for how he saw it, he didn't say, but Song Yan estimated that this Sect Leader Yu saw it during a chaotic escape, going against the flow into the forbidden area, where he accidentally saw this map. But this map was likely in a state that couldn't be removed, perhaps carved into a mountain wall or on the verge of destruction. So, this Sect Leader hurriedly noted it down and fled.

Song Yan steadied his mind, ready to turn the page.

The Visualization Map was on the next page.

Before turning the page, it was solemnly stated on the page, "To view this map, one must be at the late stage of the Crimson Palace, have comprehended the sword, and have cultivated at least half of the Sword Qi."

Song Yan compared himself, determined his conditions were suitable, and thus lightly flicked his finger to turn the page.

Instantly, a desolate aura rushed forth.

The paper, despite passing through a thousand years, remained unchanged. The composition on it was extremely simple: black below, white above, with a gray slender sword in the center.

It seemed to be a sword that cleaved heaven and earth, but upon rubbing the eyes, it appeared to be just a line, like a horizon or sea line, clearly stretched across the palm-sized page, yet giving an impression of vastness and boundlessness.

But with a momentary distraction and another glance, the line disappeared, the sword... remained a sword.

On one side of the Visualization Map, two words were written in a bizarre script: Celestial Sword.

Almost in an instant, Song Yan confirmed: the visualization target was this Celestial Sword.

"My sword" followed by "Celestial Sword" indeed fit the cultivation path of the Nanwu Sword Sect.

It seemed that cultivating the "Profound Heart Technique" while visualizing the "Celestial Sword" was the method the Sword Sect's powerful cultivators attempted to use to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm over generations.

Song Yan put down the book and the Visualization Map, asking, "Does your Sword Sect have any documented Purple Mansion Realm experts?"

Su Yao replied, "None."

Song Yan asked, "Never?"

Su Yao sneered, "They couldn't, and neither can you. The one most likely to break through was actually my elder brother, Su Changyi, whom you impersonated to infiltrate our Sword Sect! Unfortunately, he died at the hands of you despicable Demon Cultivators!"

Song Yan listened to the dull girl's poor attempt at provocation, feeling not the slightest anger.

He lowered his eyes, pondering, feeling that "one person failing might be that person's issue, but if everyone not only failed but also went mad, it was most definitely a problem with the Cultivation Technique." Ultimately, this so-called "Profound Heart Technique" and "Celestial Sword" were just shoddy patchworks by Sect Leader Yu Luo Mountain.

However, being a person of talent, he felt it was still worth a try to undergo such cultivation through sweat and wisdom.

Who knows, there might be some gains?

...

Song Yan arranged the matters of Array Formation, retrieved the "Profound Heart Technique" and the "Celestial Sword Visualization Map," and didn't linger in the Misty Sea.

He left before even finishing the morning.

Not because he didn't want to stay, but because he had more important matters to attend to: swiftly heading north to kill the Fox Wolf entrenched in the Desolate Wilderness!

Firstly, seize the chance while it's vulnerable, to take its life.

Secondly, to purify his own Essence Blood.

The Fox Wolves stationed in the Desolate Wilderness might get news, but their response speed may not be that quick, and they certainly wouldn't think Song Yan would head north to find them so swiftly.

To coordinate with his actions, before leaving, Song Yan intentionally had a Fox Demon Shadow Puppet transform into his likeness and hide in a secret room.

He also released two pieces of information: the open information, stating "Sect Leader Song is in secluded cultivation," and the covert information, which required a thorough investigation to uncover, saying, "Song Yan was actually injured in the battle with Granny Red and General Gu, and the so-called secluded cultivation is just an excuse; otherwise, why not return to the Puppet Sect to close himself off but instead do so in the Nanwu Sword Sect?"

He didn't expect this information to fool anyone, but if it could delay for a while, that would be enough.

Miss Su, Lady Yuzhuang, were left behind in the guise of "Sect Master's Concubine." For Su Yao, this was a humiliation, but it was also a layer of protection. With this guise, no one in the Puppet Sect dared to lay hands on them.
