Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 719 719: The Mysterious Corpse

Gu Nianxue furrowed her brows and asked, "Chu Nan, should we actively step into this whirlpool and use its power to enter the Land of Inheritance?"

Seeing the puzzled looks from the two women, Chu Nan only shook his head gently.

The two women couldn't help but feel confused. Could it be that Chu Nan has already sensed some hidden danger here, so he plans to leave?

"Brother, are we just going to give up on this place?" Chu Nianfang asked, filled with doubt, with a trace of reluctance in her voice.

After all, the treasures within the Celestial Crossing Realm's Secret Realm may not be rare treasures to Chu Nan, but to them, they are extremely attractive.

However, Chu Nan did not directly answer his sister's question but calmly said, "Ordinary martial artists might choose to enter through the center of that whirlpool to seek so-called opportunities."

"But don't forget, I'm the unrivaled master who can slay formidable foes like Huo Jiantang!"

At this point, the flames of battle suddenly ignited in Chu Nan's eyes, as if his entire being exuded unparalleled confidence and dominance.

Without warning, he suddenly wielded the longsword in his hand, instantly shattering the surrounding mountain range, a scene so shocking it left people speechless and in awe.

In an instant, the entire mountain range seemed to suffer a cataclysmic disaster!

The extremely terrifying power swept through like a violent torrent, ruthlessly tearing everything apart in its path.

The originally towering peaks became vulnerable in the face of this power, collapsing and shattering, and even the peak with the mysterious whirlpool was not spared, being forcefully split in two!

As the mountain peak split open, the hidden wonders inside the mountain were revealed to everyone's eyes.

The core area, which could originally only be entered through the whirlpool, was now fully exposed to the world due to the divine might of Chu Nan's sword. That mysterious and alluring domain finally unveiled its secret veils.

To forcibly open this core area, Chu Nan spared no effort, not only mobilizing all the Yin Yang Power within himself but also using every ounce of his strength, finally breaking through all blockades.

This shattered the mountain's protective mechanism and rendered the subway ticket collection uniform useless.

When the mountain was opened, the magnificent scene inside was like a painting displayed before them. The originally solid mountain interior had turned into a city within a mountain, leaving them stunned.

Stone houses stood tall, as if masterpieces of the earth and time, relying on the stability of the mountain, solid as a rock.

At the same time, there were countless precious treasures and ornaments, dazzling like stars, wherever placed, they were a huge wealth.

However, the trace of an Imperial Grade Spirit Martial couldn't be seen among them, which left Chu Nan slightly disappointed. "Look, Chu Nan! There's a coffin in the center of this mountain interior!"

At this moment, Gu Nianxue suddenly noticed a red-lacquered, gold-patterned coffin positioned at the center of the treasures.

Chu Nianfang also noticed the coffin immediately, a hint of fear in her eyes. "Let's go in and investigate," Chu Nan said without a trace of fear, as in his eyes, no coffin was to be feared.

He even harbored an impractical hope of finding an Imperial Grade Spirit Martial inside the coffin, making the trip worthwhile.

In the blink of an eye, the two women arrived at the coffin, scrutinizing it like a rare treasure, attempting to uncover its hidden secrets.

Chu Nan examined it for a long time and finally decisively said, "Looking won't help, watch me."

To the astonishment of Gu Nianxue and Chu Nianfang, Chu Nan began to activate his powerful strength, preparing to forcibly open the coffin.

The coffin seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds, and even with Chu Nan using all his Ancestral Bloodline power, mobilizing the Zangba Evil Body, he could only make it slightly tremble. Even that slight tremble required all of Chu Nan's strength.

Chu Nan continuously exerted force, not caring if he could only move it slightly each time. The coffin was just that big, and with perseverance, it was bound to be opened... As time ticked by, the gap pried open by Chu Nan gradually widened.

As a gap half as wide as a person opened, Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue couldn't wait to peer inside the coffin, hoping there would be treasures beneficial to Chu Nan.

Boom! Finally, when the gap was wide enough, Chu Nan, with one last push, finally lifted the coffin lid, completely opening the coffin.

Only at this moment did Chu Nan feel his freedom restored. Three pairs of eyes instantly focused on the interior of the coffin, and with the help of the sunlight reflecting in, the situation inside was fully revealed.

There were no precious treasures or spirit plants inside, just the corpse of a seemingly young martial artist. The martial artist was dressed magnificently, with an extraordinary appearance, resembling an Immortal.

With just a glance, Chu Nan felt a spontaneous sense of reverence.

However, this thought vanished as quickly as a shooting star. Chu Nan, staring at the corpse, slowly said, "Could this be the body of a Celestial Crossing Realm martial artist, preserved so perfectly, as if just from yesterday."

At this moment, Chu Nan's heart was filled with deep apprehension, feeling as if this corpse might come to life at any moment, radiating an eerie aura.

"So, this is a figure from before the realms were split? They don't seem any different from us!"

Chu Nianfang was puzzled, though she guessed it was the body of a Celestial Crossing Realm martial artist, she didn't feel any fear. After all, her perception wasn't as keen as Chu Nan's, unable to sense the anomalies around them.

Gu Nianxue furrowed her brows, feeling anxious. Although she, like Chu Nianfang, couldn't detect any danger from the corpse, instinctively she felt wary. "We still need to be cautious that it doesn't become a Spirit Corpse."

Gu Nianxue couldn't help but remind them.

Chu Nan nodded solemnly, feeling a chill, for he was the Young Master of the Spirit Corpse Sect, using the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, he was the foremost Corpse Refining Expert of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

When a martial artist passes, their cultivation doesn't dissipate, but instead, turns into Yin Attribute Spiritual Power over time, turning the once deceased into an undead monster.

Chu Nan, having examined countless corpses, could tell with just a touch whether it was a Spirit Corpse.

This corpse before them, Chu Nan could bet his life, was definitely not a Spirit Corpse.

"Let's pull him out first; perhaps the Imperial Grade Spirit Martial is on him," Chu Nianfang suggested. Yet, at this moment, an abrupt sound echoed in everyone's ears — thud, thud, thud! This sound was so untimely...
