"What is blood?"
"Blood is the source of life for a Martial Artist, it is the strongest reflection of whether a Martial Artist's vitality is flourishing."
"In a certain sense, every Martial Artist, even every life form, can comprehend Martial Intent through observing their own blood."
"Mastering the Blood Dao means mastering the fate of all beings?"
Zhi Changmei's expression was solemn as he began to impart the third-tier Blood Martial Intent to Chu Nan.
The comprehension of Blood Martial Intent is incredibly complex, not only requiring the observation of changes in the blood of all things but more importantly, observing oneself.
Previously, Chu Nan successfully comprehended the first-tier Blood Martial Intent by observing Demon Beast Essence Blood and leveraging the Beast Blood Divine Curse.
However, to elevate the Blood Martial Intent to a higher realm, one must observe oneself.
Zhi Changmei, according to the agreement, did not hold back and revealed the whole process of comprehending the third-tier Martial Intent, teaching Chu Nan step by step.
In truth, Zhi Changmei's teaching of the Blood Martial Intent to Chu Nan was not simply a transaction.
Seeing Chu Nan manage to perfect the Beast Blood Divine Curse and comprehend the first-tier Blood Martial Intent within just two hours, Zhi Changmei was genuinely impressed.
At this moment, in Zhi Changmei's eyes, Chu Nan had already become a genius capable of inheriting his legacy.
If it weren't for Chu Nan lacking the Zhi family bloodline, he would have loved to bestow everything upon Chu Nan.
To groom him into the strongest Blood Dao master in the history of the Zhi family!
Chu Nan, in his pursuit of forging the strongest Sea of Clouds, dared not slack off in the study and comprehension of the Blood Martial Intent.
Chu Nan was able to comprehend the first-tier Blood Martial Intent on his own, and now, with Zhi Changmei's generous instruction, his progress was rapid.
In a mere half-day, Chu Nan successfully broke through and mastered the second-tier Blood Martial Intent!
Even Zhi Changmei was shocked by Chu Nan's speed, momentarily losing his composure, nearly passing out.
Chu Nan's performance was truly astonishing, as if he was born for the Blood Dao.
Even the Sword Dao pales in comparison, after all, Chu Nan's Sword Dao was only at the first tier...
A day and a night passed, and Zhi Changmei passed on all his comprehension of the Blood Martial Intent to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan's Blood Martial Intent remained at the second tier, but the third tier was not far off.
In fact, at this point, even Zhi Changmei had little more to impart to Chu Nan.
"Thank you, senior, for your teaching." Preparing to leave the Zhi Family Ancestral Land, Chu Nan earnestly expressed his gratitude to Zhi Changmei.
Teaching a third-tier Martial Intent was no trivial matter, even if it was under the guise of a transaction, Chu Nan was deeply grateful.
Zhi Changmei nodded with a smile, thoroughly satisfied with both Chu Nan's attitude and talent.
"Chu Nan, your talent in the Blood Dao is exceedingly rare, even I feel inadequate in comparison."
"With your talent, you may soon reach the third tier of Blood Martial Intent, and surpassing me to reach the fourth tier is not impossible in the future!"
Chu Nan solemnly nodded, even he hadn't realized he had such terrifying talent in the Blood Dao.
He even mused whether he might be stronger now had he started practicing Blood Dao Martial Skills earlier!
But ultimately, these were just speculations, for Chu Nan couldn't solely tread the path of Blood Dao.
"Thank you for your teachings, elder. I shall take my leave." Chu Nan bid farewell to Zhi Changmei and left the Zhi Family Ancestral Land to return to the Demon Blood Pavilion.
Summoned by Zhi Changmei, the Demon Blood Pavilion was closed for a day, leaving many Zhi Family Martial Artists impatient.
Upon returning to the Demon Blood Pavilion, Chu Nan found himself surrounded by people, pleading for the treatment of their family and friends afflicted by madness.
Chu Nan did not refuse and began treatment immediately.
However, as both Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques were sufficient, Chu Nan's treatment conditions shifted to focus on spirit stones and resources for aiding breakthrough to the Sea of Clouds.
In preparation for the upcoming auction, aiming for the breakthrough to the Cloud Sea Realm.
This time treating the demon blood defects of the Zhi family, Chu Nan unexpectedly found it even more effortless than before.
He managed to halve the time and energy required, which was astonishing.
"It must be because I've comprehended the second-tier Blood Martial Intent, thus enhancing my treatment methods compared to before!"
Chu Nan quickly realized the reason, and his heart was filled with joy.
If the second-tier Blood Martial Intent had such a significant impact, what heights would a breakthrough to the third tier reach?
Should he break through to the Cloud Sea Realm, his Cultivation level would leap, and treating the Zhi family's demon blood defects might become instantaneous!
Chu Nan was excited and increasingly looked forward to reaching the Cloud Sea Realm.
In the following days, Chu Nan continued to treat the Zhi Family Martial Artists while beginning to assimilate the gains from this period.
With concurrent progress in Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, and Martial Intent, and with Lu Yao's guidance, Chu Nan's Martial Arts Realm continually advanced.
His insight and experience visibly grew, which was an entirely different state than Cultivation level and combat power.
Insight allowed Chu Nan to see further into the Martial Dao, and experience helped him avoid many detours.
Various Martial Intents lingered in his mind: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, fire, thunder, water, Sword Dao, Blood Dao... continually comprehending.
Various Earth Tier Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques were readily at hand, and Chu Nan even exuded an incredibly mysterious aura.
A faint layer of golden mist enveloped Chu Nan, making him appear quite holy.
A Divine Light Realm Martial Artist emitting such an aura was extremely rare.
Chu Nan seemed like a child of the Martial Dao.
If Zhi Changmei saw this scene, he would likely discard the bloodline obstacle and yearn to take Chu Nan as his disciple!
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Zhi Family Secret Realm auction arrived.
On this day, Chu Nan halted transactions at the Demon Blood Pavilion to choose to participate.
This auction would be held in the north of Zhitian City, a grand event occurring every ten years in the Zhi Family Secret Realm.
Since the strong Zhi family was obliterated by the combined forces of other strong races and the Royal Family, the surviving members had taken refuge in this Secret Realm.
To prevent news from leaking and ensure survival against the relentless pursuit of strong races and the Royal Family, the Zhi Family Secret Realm had long been entry-only with no exits.
Even now, leaving the Secret Realm was extremely difficult.
While this ensured safety, it also risked the Zhi family depleting their resources.
The Secret Realm, though vast, could not compare to the outside and was unable to produce its own cultivation resources.
Hence, the Zhi Family prepared numerous Martial Artists to venture out and gather resources, accumulating treasures for the Secret Realm.
Most treasures were allocated to the Ancestral Land for distribution, while rarer items were auctioned to allies or clan members.
The auction would last for three days, featuring numerous rare treasures scarcely seen anywhere.
Even the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, which predates the Qin Kingdom, had a keen interest in this auction.
Through Zhi Tian, Chu Nan had already previewed the auction's item list.
Many treasures crucial for his breakthrough to the Cloud Sea Realm were included, and Chu Nan was determined to acquire them.
"After this auction, I can break through to the Cloud Sea Realm," Chu Nan smiled.
Having prepared for so long, the time for an outburst finally arrived.
As the clouds part, a new vista unfolds, and stepping into the Sea of Clouds promises a whole new world.
