Facing Chu Lingshan's wrath, Chen Bo shivered, but when he saw Chu Nan and the Spirit Corpse Lu Yao beside him, he couldn't suppress the resentment and desire in his heart.

With the situation developing to this point, Chen Bo knew there was no possibility of reconciling with Chu Nan.

Once Chu Nan actually became the Young Sect Leader, he would have no place to rise again.

"This child is extraordinarily gifted; if he is not eliminated today, he will definitely become a major threat in the future."

"However, fortunately, Chu Nan's cultivation is still low. As long as he dares to enter Chaotic Corpse Ridge, he will never return."

With this thought, Chen Bo gathered his courage and said, "Sect Leader, it is not that I am questioning you, but truly, if Chu Nan does not pass the trial of Chaotic Corpse Ridge, it will be hard for everyone to accept."

With those words, Chu Lingshan fell into a brief silence.

Although he was strong, in the Spirit Corpse Sect, he had not reached a position where his word was law.

Above him, there was a Supreme Elder, a terrifying existence from his grandfather's generation, whose power and seniority were the highest.

Below, there were several elders with Cloud Sea Realm strength who posed a greater threat than Chen Bo.

But Chu Lingshan was determined to support Chu Nan in becoming the Spirit Corpse Sect's Young Sect Leader.

Because not only had Chu Nan helped him obtain the much-desired Yin Evil Spirit Pearl, but more importantly, the talent Chu Nan displayed made him believe the Spirit Corpse Sect could become even stronger under his leadership.

But Chaotic Corpse Ridge was fraught with dangers and Cloud Sea Realm demon beasts; once Chu Nan entered, it was uncertain if he could last an hour, let alone a stick-of-incense time.

While Chu Lingshan was caught in this dilemma, Chu Nan spoke up: "I, Chu Nan, am willing to take on the trial of Chaotic Corpse Ridge!"

"You're crazy!" Li Mu's eyes widened; he had already told Chu Nan about the dangers in Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

Unexpectedly, Chu Nan still agreed, which was truly incomprehensible.

But Chu Nan had his own considerations.

He felt there was no way to resolve things peacefully today. Since Chu Lingshan truly wanted him to become the Young Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect, he saw no need to hesitate.

More importantly, there were Cloud Sea Realm demon beasts in Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

Though the Cloud Sea Realm demon beast was strong, Chu Nan thought that with Lu Yao, it might not be a problem, because during the spirit corpse battle between Lu Yao and Chen Bo, her strength had once again resurrected to the extent of having the battle power of the Cloud Sea Realm.

With Lu Yao around, the demon beasts in Chaotic Corpse Ridge were not a concern and could even be slain.

Chu Nan also planned to use the blood and flesh of this Cloud Sea Realm demon beast to help shape his Dao Essence and break through to the Divine Illumination Realm!

Chen Bo was delighted, never expecting that this fool Chu Nan would actually dare to agree to become the Young Sect Leader.

Chu Lingshan also looked deeply at Chu Nan and said: "Chu Nan, though you have the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, the demon beasts in Chaotic Corpse Ridge cannot be dealt with by that alone. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Chu Nan nodded firmly and said: "Sect Leader, you needn't worry; I am confident."

Seeing Chu Nan's resolved determination, Chu Lingshan nodded and smiled: "As expected of the future leader of our Spirit Corpse Sect, truly magnanimous!"

"In that case, inform the entire sect, from elders to outer sect disciples, to go to the outside of Chaotic Corpse Ridge to witness the new Young Sect Leader of our sect!"

...

With Chu Lingshan's order, the entire Spirit Corpse Sect became active at once.

Paths of light rushed towards Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, forming a unique spectacle...

Inside Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, upon a small hill covered by a sky-reaching array, most of the martial artists from the Spirit Corpse Sect quickly gathered there.

"What happened, why did the Sect Leader summon us to Chaotic Corpse Ridge?"

"Don't you know? The Sect Leader has decided on the Young Sect Leader candidate, ready to venture into Chaotic Corpse Ridge!"

"Someone wants to be the Young Sect Leader; who is it, which True Disciple?"

"I heard it's someone named Chu Nan, who joined the sect less than ten days ago and is still an Inner Sect Disciple."

"Huh? An Inner Sect Disciple, joined the sect less than ten days, crazy!"

"Isn't it? But some say that Chu Nan is the Sect Leader's son; I don't know if it's true..."

"You believe that? If he were truly the Sect Leader's son, would the Sect Leader let him enter Chaotic Corpse Ridge to die?"

"I think he's just someone who doesn't know how vast the sky is, that's all."

All around, there was buzz and chatter, and none were optimistic about Chu Nan venturing alone into Chaotic Corpse Ridge, thinking it was a death wish.

Historically, disciples venturing into Chaotic Corpse Ridge were always well-prepared; even if they didn't produce a Hidden Corpse, they had at least ten top-tier Wandering Corpses before daring to try Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

Chu Nan, who had only just entered the sect not even ten days ago, even if he was a genius, made it hard to imagine him producing a Hidden Corpse.

"Chu Nan is seeking his own death; this time, he can't blame me," Chen Bo stood in front of the crowd and said with a cold smile.

Li Mu was also worried about Chu Nan, but still mocked: "Frog in a well, how can ordinary people understand the pride of the eminent."

"With such a narrow mind, I guess you'll stop progressing in life here."

Chen Bo's eyes widened at those words but turned his head away and said nothing more.

In front of Chaotic Corpse Ridge, at the array's entrance.

Chu Lingshan stood beside Chu Nan and said: "Chu Nan, you must think it over; there's still time for regret."

Chu Nan smiled and said: "Sect Leader, rest assured, I'll be fine."

Chu Lingshan gave Chu Nan a deep look and handed him a Jade Token, saying: "If the time is up, or you can't hold on, crush the Jade Token. When I detect the signal, I'll open a gap for you."

Chu Nan accepted the Jade Token and nodded.

Chu Lingshan then said: "In that case, go in now."

With a slight wave of his hand, Chu Lingshan opened a gap in the array.

"Sect Leader, wait for my return!" Leaving these words, Chu Nan resolutely stepped into Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

The disciples witnessing this were shocked: "My God, he's not joking; he actually went in."

"Regardless of his strength, just that courage is unparalleled by any of us."

Meanwhile, a soul-stirring gaze drifted from afar, but quickly retracted, murmuring, "Yin Evil Celestial Eye... what a pity."

Chu Lingshan's mind turned to the direction the gaze left.

He was a little surprised that Chu Nan's entry into Chaotic Corpse Ridge had alarmed the Supreme Elder; it was indeed unbelievable.

Within Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

Because of the array's concealment, the interior of Chaotic Corpse Ridge was far darker than it appeared from outside.

Looking around, it was a pitch-black as ink land, and Chu Nan could vaguely see one tall figure after another wandering constantly in Chaotic Corpse Ridge.

Seeing this, Chu Nan instantly understood: "These must be the out-of-control spirit corpses."

After saying this, Chu Nan glanced at Lu Yao beside him.

In a certain sense, wasn't Lu Yao also an out-of-control spirit corpse, and even more terrifying than these spirit corpses before him.

Lu Yao looked at these spirit corpses and said with a complex expression: "The spirit corpses of Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain were once all disciples of my Boundless Heavenly Sword Sect. Now, they have all become like this."

Chu Nan's expression was somewhat awkward; Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain was the source of spirit corpses for the Spirit Corpse Sect. If Lu Yao were enraged because of this, he wouldn't have a reason to stop her.

But obviously, Chu Nan was overthinking; Lu Yao just sighed softly, not really caring much about these people.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a huge dark shadow rose in the distance, and Chu Nan squinted to see it was a colossal black python.

This giant python was enormous, standing upright like a small mountain, its eyes like two massive lanterns, soul-stirring.

The python opened its wide mouth, and suddenly, the winds surged and clouds swirled around.

Chu Nan saw those spirit corpses being drawn by suction, the Yin Evil Qi within them leaving their bodies and entering the mouth of the python.
