Chapter 707: Age
After leaving these words, Chu Nan no longer paid attention to Zhou Lan, but looked at the others and said: "I’ve heard that the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm is opening, and I intend to bring a few people inside to train and seek opportunities."
"I wonder if you all agree?"
Although it appeared to be a request for opinions, the words from Chu Nan’s mouth were both a notification and a threat.
The martial artists present didn’t even have a single one at the eighth level of Heaven’s voice, how could they contend with Chu Nan?
Hearing Chu Nan’s words, everyone nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course, as long as a cultivator of the Ninefold Heaven, under the age of three hundred, everyone is qualified to enter."
"Even a loose cultivator has a chance."
A Ninefold Heaven cultivator, under three hundred years old.
This requirement seems simple, but in fact, it excludes nearly all martial artists except for the strong clans and the royal family.
After all, in the Celestial Crossing Realm, only the Imperial Capital can possibly produce a Ninefold Heaven cultivator under three hundred years old.
Chu Nan is a miraculous anomaly.
"Very well, then sister, Nianxue, you enter this Celestial Crossing Secret Realm." Chu Nan nodded, then called out to Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue.
The two girls nodded, and then stepped into the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
With Chu Nan’s presence holding the scene, who dared to stop them, who could stop them!
As Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue’s figures disappeared, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet at this moment, something unexpected to everyone happened.
Chu Nan’s figure flickered, and he was about to step into the Secret Realm.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. One person instinctively blocked Chu Nan and asked, "Chu Nan...Senior, what are you doing?"
"Those who are capable lead," although Chu Nan’s age among the people present could only be considered the youngest.
But Chu Nan possessed the ability to slay a Ninefold Heaven martial artist, and with such a glorious record, even being under twenty years old, he was qualified to be addressed as "senior" by these elders living for hundreds or nearly a thousand years.
Chu Nan didn’t kill anyone, he calmly said, "Of course, I’m entering this Secret Realm."
Everyone’s faces changed in surprise, you can slay a Ninefold Heaven martial artist, and you still want to explore a Secret Realm left by someone of the martial realm?
"Senior Chu Nan, your cultivation is peerless, I think this Secret Realm..." a martial artist wanted to speak but stopped, although not finished, the meaning was quite clear.
You’re already at the peak of Ninefold Heaven, why are you competing with us juniors for opportunity?
Hearing this, Chu Nan showed a slight anger and said, "The rules you just set, have you forgotten?"
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.
Chu Nan explained, "There are two conditions for entering the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm, one is a Ninefold Heaven cultivator, the second is under three hundred years old."
Everyone nodded, it indeed was the case.
This is a qualification jointly devised by the strong clans and the royal family to restrain any other martial artists from entering the Secret Realm, as everyone clearly knows.
Seeing everyone agree, Chu Nan immediately said, "Then let me ask, what is my cultivation level, do I need proof?"
Zhou Lan gave a wry smile and then said, "Senior Chu Nan, you are a noble Ninefold Heaven powerhouse with earth-shattering cultivation, naturally, no need for proof."
What a joke, Chu Nan even killed Huo Jiantang of the Ninefold Heaven realm.
If Chu Nan were to prove his strength, in his fury using the life of some martial artist present to prove, it would be disastrous.
Seeing the crowd’s acknowledgment, Chu Nan secretly nodded, then asked, "Then let me ask again, how old am I?"
Upon hearing this, the whole place fell silent again, even the sound of heartbeats stopped.
Finally, a Sevenfold Heaven powerhouse from the Li family said, "Senior Chu Nan, you are under...twenty!"
Everyone inhaled sharply, although this was already a known fact, it still caused waves of shock each time.
Because of Chu Nan’s terrifying ability to slay a Ninefold Heaven martial artist, they often overlooked his age.
Indeed!
Chu Nan is just a young person under twenty, compared to others, who are hundreds of years old, he’s not even a fraction in comparison.
They took hundreds of years to become a Ninefold Heaven cultivator, while Chu Nan achieved the feat of slaying a Ninefold Heaven martial artist in less than twenty years.
To be precise, Chu Nan took less than two years to slay a Ninefold Heaven martial artist.
After all, two years ago, Chu Nan was still at the Martial Dao realm.
The Martial Dao realm is so far from a Ninefold Heaven cultivator in the Cloud Sea realm, some people even forget there’s still a Martial Dao realm.
But for Chu Nan, the Martial Dao realm was just him two years ago.
And Chu Nan, two years later, has become a terrifying existence capable of shaking the power structure of the Celestial Crossing Realm!
Seeing everyone remain silent, Chu Nan snorted coldly and said, "My sword can slay Ninefold Heaven, and I’m not even twenty years old."
"If others can go to the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm, why can’t I?"
In fact, Chu Nan is already very reasonable, if it were other Ninefold Heaven martial artists encountering such a situation, they would have long executed everyone under the pretext of offense.
The martial artists of the strong clans and the royal family looked at each other, and they couldn’t refute Chu Nan’s words.
Thus, they could only watch as Chu Nan’s figure disappeared at the entrance of the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm.
There was no way, even if everyone present combined their forces, they couldn’t hope to stop Chu Nan from entering the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm, yet the martial artists of the strong clans and the royal family still felt their cheeks burn red.
The humiliation just now was something that hadn’t happened to the strong clans and the royal family for many years.
Eventually, Zhou Lan came in front of a royal family martial artist and said, "Chu Nan left the Imperial Capital and came here, this is precisely our opportunity, isn’t it?"
"We all know, the royal family has secretly nurtured many strong ones, among them at least three are Ninefold Heaven martial artists."
"Now that Chu Nan has entered the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm, away from the Ancestor Sect, it is precisely our chance to eliminate him."
"Chu Nan’s talent is unprecedented, I believe your royal family doesn’t wish for this thorn to continue existing in the world, right?"
After Chu Nan left, Zhou Lan’s confidence regained the upper hand, thus tempting the royal family martial artist, hoping he could mobilize the royal family’s Ninefold Heaven strong ones to slay Chu Nan!
Hearing Zhou Lan’s words, the royal family martial artist couldn’t help but think privately as well.
Chu Nan’s speed of improvement is too fast, no one knows what level he will reach in the future.
To avoid future threats to the royal family from Chu Nan, gathering strong ones now to kill him might be the best choice.
Thinking of this, the royal family martial artist said, "This matter I can promise on behalf of His Majesty for now, to make a move on Chu Nan, but it can’t be just our royal family."
"Your ten strong clans, including the reclusive Huo family, must send out strong ones or treasures to assist in killing Chu Nan!"
The royal family martial artist’s eyes brimmed with killing intent, and together with the strong clan martial artists, they quickly devised a terrifying plan to slay Chu Nan, this Ninefold Heaven powerhouse.
Meanwhile, Chu Nan had already stepped through the entrance into the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm.
"Although I promised not to interfere randomly, I also don’t wish for you to die here, from now on the dangers I’ll secretly protect you from."
