Chapter 721 721: Awakening of the Unification Realm

Gradually, the entire Secret Realm slowly returned to tranquility.

Chu Nan and the others dared not breathe, equally eager to know if the corpse before them would indeed resurrect as the legends foretold.

"Hungry, so hungry!"

Suddenly, a thunderous voice boomed, echoing through the sky, abruptly shattering the deathly silence around.

Chu Nan couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly, feeling a shock in his heart:

"It's really come back to life! This unparalleled Martial Artist who created the Celestial Crossing Secret Realm before the division of the two realms has truly awakened from death!"

With a sense of caution rising in his heart, Chu Nan hurriedly shielded Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue behind him, and cautiously approached the destroyed mountain ahead.

In the mountain, a completely naked young man suddenly sat up straight.

Previously lifeless like a corpse, he now seemed radiant and full of vitality.

His entire body's muscles were brimming with vigorous life and energy. Though his facial features were ordinary, his eyes were as bright as stars.

As he rose, a strong feeling surged in Chu Nan's heart - this person seemed to have replaced every existence between heaven and earth!

Clearly just a Martial Artist at the nine-layer realm, yet Chu Nan sensed an unprecedented aura from him.

Then, the next shocking scene unfolded before Chu Nan's eyes!

With a thunderous sound, nine layers of crimson clouds as red as blood suddenly appeared behind that mysterious Martial Artist!

This Sea of Clouds seemed like blazing flames, shining brightly in the sky and instantly transforming the entire world into a realm of fire.

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, witnessing the nine-layer cloud shouldn't have astonished Chu Nan.

However, the nine-layer cloud appearing on this ancient Martial Artist of the Unification Realm left him feeling unprecedentedly shocked and confused.

Spirit Corpse Lu Yao's power was exceptionally strong, her rapid advancement in realms was remarkable.

She had quickly reached the height of nine-layer, standing at the pinnacle limit of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Yet, despite Lu Yao's terrifying strength, she did not possess the nine-layer cloud.

This undoubtedly indicated she was not a true nine-layer cultivator.

But the mysterious Martial Artist of the Unification Realm before him, despite being suppressed from breaking through Unification, had displayed the nine-layer cloud.

This astounding scene filled Chu Nan's heart with numerous questions and curiosity.

He couldn't help but ponder, who exactly was this mysterious Martial Artist?

What secrets and powers were hidden within him? Why could he release such a powerful nine-layer cloud even when suppressed?

These questions continuously swirled in Chu Nan's mind, stirring his reverence and desire for exploration for this enigmatic Martial Artist.

The current situations fully indicated that this mysterious Martial Artist of the Unification Realm achieved breakthrough through the nine-layer cultivation method.

As Chu Nan knew, before the division of the two realms, the nine-layer cultivation method was deemed the weakest technique among all Sea of Clouds strengthening methods.

It was even disdained by those blessed with extraordinary talent, for they had no regard for such cultivation methods.

But this Cloud Sea Realm expert surviving since the era of realm division had chosen to shape the nine-layer.

This made Chu Nan instantly comprehend certain truths.

"Actually, I've always wondered, during the undivided era of the two realms, shouldn't various inheritances exchange and progress together?"

"But why is it that only the nine-layer cultivation method strengthened in Celestial Crossing Realm remains?"

"Surely, someone deliberately orchestrated this situation."

"The initial nine-layer cultivation method was discovered by the Qin Kingdom in the Secret Realm, perhaps to create an environment where the entire Celestial Crossing Realm practiced the nine-layer cultivation method."

"After realm division, all Secret Realms should be shaped by Martial Artists achieving Unification through the nine-layer cultivation method!"

Seeing this mysterious Martial Artist of the Unification Realm, and combining it with his prior understanding, Chu Nan nearly made an instant conjecture.

"After the division of the two realms, what truly happened in the lower world?" Chu Nan secretly pondered.

"Could it be that an invisible hand is deliberately manipulating all of this, letting the Celestial Crossing Realm be filled with nine-layer cultivators!"

At this thought, a strong feeling of astonishment surged in Chu Nan's heart.

Though he had grasped the truth, his emotions could not calm down.

After all, to transform the entire Celestial Crossing Realm into its current state, what terrifying power must the manipulator possess!

To toy with the lives of an entire realm at their palms, could it really be the Cyan Demon?

Or perhaps, there's an even more powerful and terrifying existence hidden within?

As Chu Nan reevaluated that enigmatic Martial Artist of the Unification Realm, the latter was similarly gazing at him...

His release of the nine-layer cloud wasn't for intimidation or boasting, but to sense the surrounding situation.

"Through the Sea of Clouds, I can clearly sense that these three before me are all Martial Artists practicing the nine-layer cultivation method." He pondered secretly.

"Just as my elders predicted during my slumber, ever since the division of the two realms, the newly born Celestial Crossing Realm is destined to belong to nine-layer cultivators!"

Though Chu Nan's Sea of Clouds had transformed into a Dao Pearl, the aura of having practiced the nine-layer cultivation method hadn't dissipated.

This mysterious Martial Artist of the Unification Realm, despite no longer having his former strength, retained his experience, insight, and vision.

"Young Martial Artists of this era, what kind of era truly is it!"

The mysterious Martial Artist of the Unification Realm slowly spoke.

Despite time spanning over ten thousand years, their language exchange hadn't diverged much.

In this Martial Artist's world dominated by cultivation, innovation remained the mainstream trend, and powerful paths of cultivation always were at the core.

The advancement of language was extremely slow, perhaps even after millions of years, the primary language and script in the Martial Artist's world wouldn't change significantly.

Unless one day, these matters touched upon the path of cultivation, perhaps then would earth-shattering changes come.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Chu Nan didn't sense any apparent hostility from the other.

Generally, those hidden monsters who awaken from long slumber tend to massacre rampantly.

By consuming others' blood to replenish their own vitality, allowing them to quickly return to peak state.

And if they desire specific information, they'd unhesitatingly execute the Soul Search.

This method is both simple and direct, and not easily misled by false information.

However, the Martial Artist before him, with immeasurable cultivation and formidable strength.
