After watching the memories of the Blood-Tear Python, Chu Nan had already speculated about Kui Guang's identity.
But when Kui Guang truly admitted that he was the senior brother Lu Yao mentioned, he still couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart!
Kui Guang was actually the peerless powerhouse who once divided the Celestial Crossing Realm with a single sword. If this news were to reach Lu Yao, she might completely lose her mind.
But wasn't Kui Guang the peak of the Heavenless Realm, the one who could split the Celestial Crossing Realm in two?
Who could have reduced him to such a state, only able to exist as a remnant soul?
Although Kui Guang possessed the power to easily kill the Blood-Tear Python, compared to his past self who could divide two realms with one strike, he truly was in a destitute state now.
"Sword Venerable Master, was it really you who destroyed the Endless Sky Sword Sect and divided the two realms?"
"Is there some unspeakable secret behind this?"
From the bottom of his heart, Chu Nan stood on Kui Guang's side. He didn't want to believe that Kui Guang was a demon who destroyed his own sect, slaughtered countless lives, and split the two realms.
If all this was really done by Kui Guang willingly, then the calamities he caused would be truly unspeakable.
The Celestial Crossing Realm was split in two, and the environment of the lower realm changed drastically.
Without this event, the Celestial Crossing Realm wouldn't have been unable to break through to the Reunification Realm, nor would there be such sayings as the difficulty of traversing the two realms.
This event affected far too many people and was too vast!
Faced with Chu Nan's inquiry, Kui Guang sighed and suddenly looked into the distance as if reminiscing, recalling something.
After a long time, Kui Guang said, "The Sword Sect's destruction, the difficulty of traversing the two realms, the blame lies with me, and there's nothing I can say now."
"I have no face to meet the junior brothers and sisters of the sect; I am an eternal criminal of the Endless Sky Sword Sect and even the entire lower realm!"
Although his face was not visible, Chu Nan could clearly feel Kui Guang's remorse.
"Disciple believes in Master; surely there was an unspeakable reason when you did this."
Chu Nan spoke firmly, his tone full of trust in Kui Guang.
Kui Guang deeply looked at Chu Nan and sighed, "Though there were unspeakable reasons, these things were still done by me. I cannot shirk the blame."
"Now that you are one with me, I will tell you everything that happened back then."
Chu Nan nodded deeply, then sat cross-legged to listen.
Quickly, Kui Guang told Chu Nan the entire sequence of events from that year.
Kui Guang was once the Saint Son of the Endless Sky Sword Sect, at the ninth peak of the Heavenless Realm, the limit of what the lower realm could bear, no longer far from ascending to the middle realm.
The Heavenless Realm is the limit of the lower realm, but above it is the Clear Heart Realm; reaching the Clear Heart Realm allows ascension to the middle realm.
He was proud and lofty, the youngest at the ninth peak of the Heavenless Realm, naturally yearning for the middle realm, even wanting to step into the upper realm,
to witness the supreme style of the ancient strongmen of the Human Race.
So Kui Guang prepared, striving to break through to the Clear Heart Realm.
The Clear Heart Realm is related to the Martial Artist's Dao Heart, succeeding means ascending by daylight, failing means death and destruction!
In the end, during Kui Guang's enlightenment of his Dao Heart, he was plotted against by Qi Liang, the second senior brother of the Sword Sect second only to him, causing his path to dim and the demon to rise.
Kui Guang's soul and cultivation went uncontrollably ablaze, completely losing reason, becoming a terrifying killing machine.
When Kui Guang awoke, he stood on the land of the Celestial Crossing Realm, his former sectmates all dead, and the Endless Sky Sword Sect vanished.
His soul and cultivation also suffered severe injuries during the frenzy, continually collapsing and weakening.
Kui Guang had no words to face all this, so he concealed his name, wandering everywhere waiting for the day of his complete collapse.
After experiencing several crises and with hidden ailments in his body, Kui Guang's flesh was ruined, leaving only a remnant soul to wander and parasite in the Celestial Crossing Realm.
Until he met Chu Nan, he finally got an opportunity to restore his strength.
"I dare not face Junior Sister Lu Yao now; the day I regained my sanity, I thought about dying."
"But I am unwilling, because the culprit behind all this is still alive!"
Kui Guang spoke with a tone of hatred, "Second Junior Brother Qi Liang, I can never forget him!"
"He must still be alive in some corner of the lower realm; the only purpose of attaching to you and regaining strength is to find him and kill him."
"For the master, for the junior brothers and sisters, to avenge and correct the grievances of the ancestors!"
A pure desire keeps Kui Guang's remnant soul, spanning countless years, still lingering in the world.
If not for this desire, perhaps Kui Guang would have long disappeared into the rolling red dust...
Chu Nan was silent for a while, then clenched his fist and said, "Sword Venerable Master, rest assured. My journey to today has been supported by you all along."
"If I can leave the Celestial Crossing Realm in the future, I will definitely find your nemesis Qi Liang and avenge you!"
Chu Nan, who grew up without parents, regards Kui Guang, who guided his cultivation and repeatedly saved him from death, as a second parent.
So he remembered every word of Kui Guang and felt a desire to help Kui Guang revenge rise in his heart.
Kui Guang nodded secretly, then said, "Chu Nan, although you know my identity, I hope you won't reveal it."
"In the eyes of Lu Yao and others, I am the culprit who destroyed the Endless Sky Sword Sect. Once they know, do you know what will become of you?"
Chu Nan was slightly startled, then solemnly nodded.
If Lu Yao knew that Kui Guang was on him, it might lead to endless pursuit.
Chu Nan understood the gravity of the situation: "Sword Venerable Master, rest assured, I will not disclose it."
Kui Guang nodded with satisfaction, then turned into a black light and entered Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness.
"The body of the Blood-Tear Python is getting cold; I'll guard you. Quickly refine the Ancestral Bloodline within its body."
Chu Nan hesitated no more; he had coveted the Ancestral Bloodline of the Blood-Tear Python for a long time.
Now, it was within reach, and he naturally wouldn't let it pass.
Slashing open the Blood-Tear Python's body, Chu Nan dove inside and immediately began executing the Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra.
This unrivaled cultivation technique in the lower realm had provided boundless convenience on Chu Nan's cultivation path.
Without the Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra, his cultivation couldn't have progressed so fast. If others absorbed the blood energy of Demon Beasts so recklessly, they would have imploded long ago.
Only Chu Nan was unaffected, and the nobler the bloodline, the greater the benefits!
During the execution of the cultivation technique, he seemed to transform into a massive vortex, the blood energy of the Blood-Tear Python turned into clusters of red mist, madly integrating into Chu Nan's body.
At this moment, Chu Nan's flesh, Dantian, muscles and bones, and cultivation all boiled like lava.
Clearly only at the seventh layer of the Divine Illumination Realm, his body exuded a terrifying aura no less than that of a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist.
This aura benefited from the Blood-Tear Python's original cultivation; if it were in full strength, it would be an eighth-layer Demon Beast, a force Chu Nan couldn't possibly shake.
Borrowing the energy of the Blood-Tear Python, Chu Nan enhanced his cultivation, honed his body, and focused entirely on devouring this power.
At the same time, he sought the Ancestral Bloodline of the Blood-Tear Python. With this bloodline, Chu Nan even had the confidence to perform the Divine Light Slash on the Sea of Clouds!
