"Great, the tomb door has finally opened, Yu Er, you've been saved!" Chu Lingshan, upon seeing the tomb door open, was so excited that his entire body trembled, and he was nearly moved to tears.
Chu Nan saw this scene and frowned slightly, not knowing why, he felt that Chu Lingshan seemed different now than before.
As soon as the tomb door opened, Chu Lingshan couldn't wait to rush inside.
Chu Nan followed behind, not daring to walk recklessly.
But at that moment, a pitch-black blade of light shot out from directly ahead, so fast that even Chu Lingshan couldn't react!
Screeeech!
Chu Lingshan let out a miserable scream; the pitch-black blade of light actually severed his arm, sending him flying away.
Seeing this, Chu Nan felt a chill run straight up to his skull, not even caring to see what else was there, he grabbed Chu Lingshan's severed arm and turned to flee.
"Sect Leader, are you alright, please don't let anything happen to you!" If Chu Lingshan died, Chu Nan would have no way to leave this place.
"Phew~"
Chu Lingshan let out a long sigh, with beads of sweat covering his face, looking so weak that he seemed like he might die at any moment.
He took the severed arm from Chu Nan's hand and said, "It seems I've been a bit impulsive; this place is not one I can enter."
Chu Lingshan then fixed a piercing gaze on Chu Nan and said, "Chu Nan, keep your Yin Evil Celestial Eye open at all times; from now on, I can only rely on you."
"You have the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, you have already been acknowledged, so you won't be attacked by the tomb."
"Go get me a Yin Evil Spirit Pearl from inside, I only need one!"
"In a place dense with Yin Evil Qi, there must be Yin Evil Spirit Pearls, which are of great use to me. If you can help me obtain it, you will be the future Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect!"
After hearing this, Chu Nan's face darkened; the promise given by Chu Lingshan was too outrageous, he didn't dare believe it.
But the bow is drawn; there's no turning back. Faced with the request of a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, Chu Nan had no right to refuse.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, Chu Nan will not disappoint you." With these words, Chu Nan resolutely stepped into the tomb door.
Just as he stepped in, the gigantic tomb door slammed shut.
Inside the tomb door, Chu Nan summoned the Blood Pattern Sword, nervously scanning all around; even though there were attacks here strong enough to resist even a Cloud Sea Realm fighter, he didn't intend to sit and wait for death.
As he scanned the surroundings, he found that the space wasn't actually very large, and one could see everything at a glance.
At the center was a massive White Jade Coffin, inside which was a blurred figure, surely a corpse.
In front of the White Jade Coffin was an offering table, and on the table was a memorial tablet.
Chu Nan focused his eyes and saw that the tablet was inscribed with, 'Position of the Saintess Jiang Ling of the Boundless Sky Sword Sect.'
"The Boundless Sky Sword Sect, what an overwhelming name, surely a very ancient power. Could this Thousands Corpse Mountain be related to the Boundless Sky Sword Sect?"
With confusion, Chu Nan stepped closer to the White Jade Coffin, and the scene around the Jade Coffin became clearer.
On the right side of the Jade Coffin stood the corpse of a beautiful woman.
Although she had been dead for who knows how many years, the woman's body still looked lifelike, showing no signs of decay or withering.
She was dressed as a maid, looking elegant and beautiful, with exquisite features, incredibly striking.
Especially the transcendental aura surrounding her, even in death, it hadn't faded, prompting Chu Nan to gaze at her a bit longer.
"Even the maid accompanying her burial is so extraordinary, what kind of unimaginable existence must the Jiang Ling inside the White Jade Coffin be?"
Besides these things, there were also desks, wooden beds, even a dressing table.
It seemed as if the corpse inside the coffin might come out to read and dress up at any moment.
Chu Nan respectfully bowed, murmuring, "Senior, I am compelled to disturb you, please do not be angered."
He first looked at the White Jade Coffin, finding it impossible to see the conditions inside, then examined the offering table, discovering that the offerings had long turned to dust.
"Where is the Yin Evil Spirit Pearl?"
Thinking that he needed the Yin Evil Celestial Eye to see, Chu Nan tried using just the Yin Evil Celestial Eye to observe the tomb room carefully.
As soon as he did, the scene before his eyes changed instantly.
He saw countless streams of Yin Evil Qi climbing from the base of the White Jade Coffin along the ground, then from the walls they crawled into the cracks in the doors, surging outwards.
"So, the source of all this Yin Evil Qi is this White Jade Coffin, or rather, the Jiang Ling corpse inside the White Jade Coffin!"
Chu Nan was mentally stunned; a single corpse could emit such terrifying Yin Evil Qi, what monstrous Cultivation must she have possessed in life.
He guessed, this Saintess of the Boundless Sky Sword Sect must have attained Cultivation surpassing the Cloud Sea, perhaps even above the Unity Realm!
Suppressing his shock, Chu Nan soon discovered something else that was different.
He saw pitch-black inscriptions appearing on the White Jade Coffin, so thickly packed it seemed to be expressing something.
Upon a closer look, Chu Nan's face immediately displayed an undisguisable smile.
"To think... to think it could be used this way, I understand now!" Chu Nan was overjoyed, quickly memorizing the content on the White Jade Coffin, not daring to forget a word.
"I never thought such a thing existed as directly using the Yin Evil Celestial Eye to unleash Martial Skills."
Inscribed on the White Jade Coffin was a Martial Skill that could be executed using the Yin Evil Celestial Eye: the Yin Sha Tribulation Light!
The Yin Sha Tribulation Light is performed using Yin Evil Qi, with impressive power, catching opponents off guard.
This was far more refined than Chu Nan's previous method of directly releasing Yin Evil Qi using the Yin Evil Celestial Eye.
It even contained methods for upgrading the quality of the Yin Evil Celestial Eye.
This Martial Skill divided the Celestial Eye into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Chu Nan's Celestial Eye was only at the lowest Yellow grade; to advance to the Profound grade, simply absorbing Yin Evil Qi wouldn't suffice.
It required absorbing peculiar items like the Celestial Eye Fruit to progress.
The White Jade Coffin described in detail a large number of Supreme Treasures capable of advancing the Celestial Eye, which Chu Nan memorized one by one, preparing to seek them out when possible.
"The Yin Evil Spirit Pearl turns out to also be a treasure for advancing the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, though they are of the lowest grade, requiring at least a hundred to enable the Celestial Eye's upgrade."
But Chu Nan wasn't worried about this point, because through his Yin Evil Celestial Eye's observation, he found the tomb room's rock walls were densely packed with hundreds of Yin Evil Spirit Pearls!
"Are these the opportunities left by Jiang Ling for those inheriting the Yin Evil Celestial Eye who enter here?"
Chu Nan was excited; the Yin Evil Qi emerging from the White Jade Coffin had condensed over the years into these Yin Evil Spirit Pearls on the rock walls.
These would be the crucial nutrients for cultivating his Yin Evil Celestial Eye.
He eagerly pried all the Yin Evil Spirit Pearls from the rock walls, with dozens of pitch-black beads resting in Chu Nan's palm.
"With so many of these, Chu Lingshan probably thought they were something precious, yet he only wanted one." After collecting more than a hundred, Chu Nan began to utilize his Yin Evil Celestial Eye to absorb the power within them.
In an instant, Chu Nan felt a pleasurable sensation at the center of his brow; the Yin Evil Celestial Eye bloomed like a flower, radiating an increasingly intense purple light.
