Another month passed in a flash, during which Nalan Ruoshui healed Chennan again, but there was still no "improvement". Chu Yue also came here and gave Chen Nan a thin booklet with several internal strength methods on it, asking him to choose one of them and try to cultivate anew. It can be seen that Chu Yue no longer has any hope for the restoration of his strength.

However, Chu Yue was extremely disappointed, Chen Nan's cultivation of any mental method was fruitless, and he couldn't condense even a trace of true qi. The eldest princess was a little anxious, and finally brought the Houyi bow from the palace to the Qishi Mansion, asking Chen Nan to try to see if she could pull it apart without internal force, and the result could be expected. Chen Nan pretended to pull it through, and finally said in a deflated manner, "No, I can't pull it open. 」

Chu Yue'e frowned slightly, and said, "How can this be, it doesn't make sense, if Shui never speaks, she said that your skills can be restored theoretically, and ...... Cultivating martial arts anew should not have any impact......

Chen Nan said at the right time: "I feel that my body is a little strange, but the feeling of holding the Houyi Bow in my hand just now is very special, and I seem to feel that the true qi in my body seems to be showing signs of recovery. 」

Chu Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

"Really, I do feel that way. 」

Chu Yue thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I'll put the Houyi Bow here for you, and if you use your heart to sense, maybe you will be able to recover your strength." However, I will send some people to guard it, after all, the divine bow is the treasure of my Chu country, and if it is known by thieves, it will not be good to come here to steal it. 」

Chen Nan pretended to be grateful, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess actually lent the national treasure in order for me to be able to restore my strength, such kindness, if I recover my strength, I will definitely swear to serve the Chu country." 」

Chu Yue smiled faintly and drifted away.

From that day on, there were more guards outside Chennan's courtyard, guarding his courtyard day and night.

"Is it to prevent thieves from stealing, or are you afraid that I will abscond with the Houyi Bow?" Regarding this question, he didn't think deeply, after all, Chu Yue gave him a good impression.

Because of love, so love, love does not need reason.

Chen Nan is a little confused now, he admits that he has always had a good impression of Nalan Ruoshui, and he also has the fantasies that male compatriots often have, but he thinks that it is definitely not love. But if he doesn't see a beautiful doctor one day recently, he will feel empty in his heart.

At first, he didn't quite believe his feelings, until something happened to Nalan Ruoshui and disappeared from his sight for a few days, and during those days, he felt extremely lost in his heart. Chen Nan knew that he already had a little shadow of Nalan Ruoshui in his heart, and he already liked her a little.

"Do I really like her, just because I get along day and night, and fall in love over time?

He didn't know what the beautiful doctor thought, but he felt that Nalan Ruoshui seemed to be running away from something, and he was no longer as calm as he used to be when facing him.

"Isn't she ......?"

"She's hesitating, she's worried. 」

"Because I don't have a prominent background, because I don't have the strength to be strong?" Chen Nan shook his head, no longer thinking about these annoying things.

On this day, after Chen Nan walked into the ancient book library, he completely translated the last few pages of the ancient book for the old man.

The old man held the book he had sorted out and said, "I have got what I need, what about you, have you found what you are looking for?"

Chen Nan was taken aback and said, "Ah, what did you say?"

"Hehe...... old man laughed, the furrow on his face trembling.

"Young man, you are not simple, at a young age, your cultivation is already so amazing, and you also know ancient texts, you are really a genius!"

"Ah, old man, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?"

The old man said, "Young man, stop acting, I have no ill will towards you. In fact, since the first day you stepped into the library, I had already discovered that you were an advanced cultivator, and your cultivation should have just reached the third level. 」

Chen Nan's heart was extremely shocked, the cultivator's aura he exuded outside his body was extremely weak, he didn't expect that the old man had already seen through him when they met him for the first time.

The old man said, "If you are not yet twenty years old, your one-body cultivation is enough to rank among the top twenty cultivators under twenty years old in the mainland, and if you are close to twenty-five years old, your one-body cultivation can be ranked in the top two hundred among cultivators under twenty-five years old in the mainland. Either way, you're an outstanding young master. 」

Chen Nan was silent and waited to see what happened.

The old man said, "Young man, you are very good at disguise, I believe that not many people can see through your special skills, but I am not one of them. 」

Chen Nan nodded and said, "The old man's eyes are like torches, and the juniors have nothing to hide in front of the seniors. 」

The old man nodded and said, "What are you looking for?"

Chen Nan didn't answer, but asked, "What are you looking for, and what did you get?"

The old man laughed, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up and trembled slightly, looking a little scary.

"Hehe, young man, I asked you to translate ancient books, but the arrangement of sentences was disrupted, you must be dissatisfied with me in your heart, right?"

Chen Nan said: "No, you have thought too much. 」

The old man said, "I can't help it, that book is a side thing, and it involves many taboos, which are not tolerated by ordinary people. I'm afraid that after you learn about it, you will despise the old man and not translate for the old man, so I made this decision. 」

Chen Nan said: "Something from the left side of the door?"

The old man said, "Yes, I have no choice but to do it, now I am over 170 years old, my body has aged and I can't do it, I can't cultivate the Tao, and I don't have the talent to practice martial arts, so I can't rejuvenate my body again......

"More than 170 years old!!!"

"Yes, more than seventy years ago, I became a martial artist, and I rejuvenated at the age of 100, in the past few decades, although my skills have become more and more profound, I have never been able to enter a higher realm, and my body is gradually aging, and time is not waiting for me! 」

Chen Nan opened his mouth wide in surprise, he didn't expect that the old man in front of him turned out to be a peerless master, the "small achievement" that the old man said was definitely not a "small achievement", it must be a great achievement.

The old man continued, "In order to continue my life, I had to study the evil books and find other ways to understand life and death one day.

Chen Nan was surprised: "Study the evil book and understand life and death?"

"Yes, in fact, there is no distinction between good and evil in this world, 'good' is just in line with the cognition of the vast majority of people, and 'evil' is not tolerated by the vast majority of people. At my age, I have seen everything through, and there is no distinction between good and evil, so I don't care what kind of books I want to cultivate. As long as I can continue my life, it is 'positive'. 」

Although Chen Nan felt that there was a trace of truth in these words, he still felt that his back was cold, and he secretly said in his heart: "People say that the Buddha has become a demon, this old guy can't fall into the devil's path after his skill reaches a certain level, right?"

He was now sure that this old man's cultivation had reached at least the fifth order realm.

The old man said, "Young man, what are you looking for?"

"As my predecessor said, I did look for something. As I said, I am very interested in the myths and legends of antiquity, especially the origin of the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, which fascinates me, and I want to unravel its mystery with the help of the vast royal texts. 」

The green light in the old man's eyes flashed, and he said, "The Cemetery of Gods and Demons is a mystery of the ages, I don't know how many generations have plagued it, if you can find the clues in it, it will definitely cause a sensation on the entire continent, have you found it?"

Chen Nan said in a dejected manner: "No, I have almost searched through the entire ancient book library, but the Gods and Demons Cemetery is like an endless void, and there is no record of its origin in any book. 」

The old man said, "Alas, the truth has long been annihilated in history, and if you want to understand what happened 10,000 years ago, I am afraid that you can only understand it by stepping into the fairyland. 」

Chen Nan nodded in agreement, the State of Chu is one of the most powerful empires in the Eastern Continent, and its royal classics can be described as all-encompassing, but there is no trace of the origin of the gods and demons cemetery in it, which shows that it is really impossible to find out its truth from the historical books.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation gently rippling in the ancient library, exactly the same as when he first stepped into this place on the first day. Last time he didn't care, this time he closed his eyes and used his heart to sense the fluctuations, and slowly, a shocked look appeared on his face, and the fluctuations actually came from the ground.

After seeing his face change greatly, the old man nodded and said, "Young man is really not simple, even this subtle fluctuation can be felt, it can be seen that you have a spiritual root. 」

Chen Nan said, "Senior, what is that?"

The old man said, "Well, in order to repay you for translating the ancient scriptures for me, I will take you to see it." 」

The old man led Chen Nan to a bookshelf, moved the bookshelf to the side, and then groped on the ground for a while, and a black hole appeared in front of Chen Nan's eyes, and the fluctuations came out from there.

Chen Nan couldn't believe his eyes, there was such a place in the dignified royal ancient library.

The old man said, "Seventy years ago, when I became a martial artist, the spiritual root on my body opened, and I inadvertently sensed this strange fluctuation. I didn't expect you to be born with spiritual roots, alas, people can't be compared!"

Chen Nan was a little puzzled and said, "How can there be such a secret hole in the Royal Ancient Book Library?"

The old man laughed and said, "I secretly dug this hole. 」

"You dug it out?" Chen Nan was a little surprised, this old guy must be too bold.

"Why not, I just blatantly opened a cave under the emperor's dragon chair, and he didn't dare to say anything, because I was his ancestor. 」

Dizzy, dizzy, Chen Nan is really a little at a loss, I didn't expect this old man to be so big.

"Follow me, and I'll take you down to have a look." 」

The cave winded into the ground in a spiral, Chen Nan was one foot deep, and one foot shallow followed behind the old man, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Walked down about thirty meters along the tunnel of the black hole, and there was a light below, and it probably fell more than ten meters, and the two came to the place where the light was, and the tunnel dug by the old man intersected with a tunnel in the shape of a "D".

Tunnel monuments Ban barge, the four walls are hard as iron diamond rock, you can imagine how difficult it was to dig such a road in those years, above the tunnel, every three zhang distance is inlaid with a night pearl, the light is put by these pearls.

Chen Nan exclaimed: "What a big stroke, a pearl is already worth a fortune, I didn't expect that here, so many pearls are used as ordinary lighting things. With that, his eyes shone with golden light, and his eyes stared at those pearls without blinking.

The old man said, "Boy, you don't want to rob the tomb, do you?"

"Ah, this ...... Is this a tomb?" Chen Nan felt a chill in his back, and realized that the light emitted by those pearls was a little strange.

"Of course, who lives underground. 」

"No, the palace of the state of Chu would be built on top of a tomb?"

"When the palace was built, who knew what was underground, who would dig 50 meters into the ground. 」

The old man led Chen Nan along the ancient tunnel to the brighter end, and there was only the sound of "clicking" footsteps in the empty tunnel, making the ancient tomb look particularly secluded and lonely.

Along the winding ancient tunnel, the two came to a bright hall, although the hall is underground, free from the erosion of rain, snow, wind and frost, but also carved with traces of time, full of monuments. The four walls of the main hall are a pair of delicate reliefs, mostly gods, demons, demons and monsters in myths and legends...... There are pearls embedded in the reliefs, making the whole hall as bright as day. The lifelike reliefs are illuminated by the pearl, as if they have a soul, as if they want to break through the wall.

In the middle of the ancient hall is a white jade platform, the jade platform is crystal clear, exudes a soft light, and it is the best treasure jade at a glance. What attracted Chennan's attention was not the white jade platform, but the person on the jade platform, a tall and burly middle-aged man standing in the center of the jade platform.

The middle-aged man has long black hair floating casually on his shoulders, a bronzed face, long eyebrows into the sideburns, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a pair of black bright eyes that are terrifying. However, the most shocking thing is the momentum of the middle-aged man, the peerless domineering, and the majestic posture of looking at the world, making the middle-aged man look like a demon god looking down on all beings.

Chen Nan's eyes were hot, tears almost rolled down, the middle-aged man's demeanor was too similar to his father, his eyes were equally wise and sharp, and his momentum was equally dominant.

The old man said, "See, that strange fluctuation is coming from the person who has passed away in front of him, this senior is really a master!"

When Chen Nan heard the word "deceased", his heart was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears, he carefully looked at the person in front of him again, and finally found a little light in his long hair, which was the hilt of a sword. The word "flying sword" flashed in his heart, and the peerless domineering middle-aged man was killed by the flying sword.

"Dead, such a peerless master actually died under the flying sword?" Chen Nan was a little unconvinced, the momentum of the middle-aged man in front of him was by no means weaker than his father Chen Zhan, and he must have already surpassed the fifth-order realm. He had heard his mother say that when he cultivated martial arts to such a world, there were no swords to be injured in the world, and it was rare to resist again.

He circled around the jade platform and found a piece of bone meal behind the jade platform, and not far away, there was a pile of broken bones. He didn't have to think about it to know that these two people died under the power of the middle-aged man on the stage.

The old man said, "I got my book from here, and judging from the fonts on it, everything here must be six or seven thousand years old. And the body of this predecessor is immortal, and it is still unbelievable. 」

Chen Nan sighed in his heart: "This predecessor's skills are all over the sky, and he actually condensed his body into an immortal body, the strong will always be the strong, and the momentum is still so compelling after death. 」

The old man said, "Go, go up and look, there is still writing under his feet." 」

"Oh?" Chen Nan perked up and jumped onto the jade platform with the old man.

On the crystal jade platform, a few lines of words, carved with finger force, like an iron hook and silver stroke, vigorous and powerful, and there is a sad air rushing towards the face, which makes people sigh infinitely in their hearts.

"The demon path becomes an immortal, the reason of heaven is intolerable, kill the demon and eliminate the evil, in order to set an example to the world. Sigh, the demon has a brother, and he is returning. The seriously injured body, fighting against it, powerless to return to the sky, and all of them will die. Angzang's body, the demon cave is destroyed, my body is humiliated, and I am self-proclaimed here!"

"I see, alas!" Chen Nan sighed and sighed: "Although the Demon Dao has just stepped into the realm of the Immortal Dao, after all, he is already an immortal, this senior is arrogant and Lingyun, he actually destroyed the immortal, admire, admire!"

The old man also sighed a little: "Yes, if he hadn't missed someone, I'm afraid there would be another powerful martial immortal in this heaven and earth. 」

Chen Nan sighed: "Before his death, he had great achievements and stood up to the heavens and the earth. After death, the body is immortal and stands tall. Thousands of years of domineering, condensed but not dispersed, peerless heroes, looking down on the world. 」

Then he burst out laughing, "Haha...... I am now full of confidence in martial arts, how powerful the immortals are, but they have not been destroyed by a martial arts master, you can imagine that if a person who practices martial arts steps into the fairyland, hehe......

The old man said, "I'll take you to the cultivation place of the Demon Dao to have a look. 」

Chen Nan followed the old man through the ancient hall and followed the tunnel to an ancient cave like a purgatory on earth. The pearl glows with a secluded light, the ground is white, look carefully, it is thousands of dry bones, some of the white bones have been completely shattered, the air flow is slightly surging, and there are bursts of powder, and a stream of yin qi is diffused in the ancient cave. In the center of the thousands of dry bones is a pool of dried blood, the four walls of which are black and red and eerie, with a cold atmosphere, as if there are ghosts floating above it.

This is an eerie and terrifying mass grave, in the extreme silence, as if thousands of souls are howling, making people's scalps tingle and chills.

Chen Nan was terrified when he saw it, and said, "This is where the cultivation of the Demon Dao lies? It's really cruel and inhumane, in order to satisfy his own selfishness, he actually slaughtered thousands of living beings, such a person becomes an immortal, it is really intolerable!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but look at the old man, if he guessed correctly, the so-called evil book in the old man's hand must be the evil law that the demon Dao had once cultivated, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and the person standing in front of him might be the second demon dao.

The old man laughed, his face trembling with wrinkles, and said, "Young man, don't be afraid, I am a person who practices martial arts, how can I go to cultivation again, besides, it is a very dangerous way of blood cultivation. Those who practice martial arts change to the Tao, and it is difficult to do it unless they are able to go through the heavens and latitudes, and the two are essentially different. I'm just borrowing some unique insights from that cult book, which is that blood needs to be produced, and I think the animals slaughtered every day in the Imperial Dining Room are sufficient. 」

The coldness on Chen Nan's body subsided slightly, and then the two of them left this eerie and terrifying ancient cave.

After coming to the ancient hall, Chen Nan came to the jade platform, looked at the peerless powerhouse, and said to the old man, "When I was in the ancient library, I sensed this strange fluctuation twice before and after, why didn't I sense it during this period?"

The old man said, "Your two times coincided with the night when the full moon was approaching, and only then did the fluctuations become stronger, I think it has something to do with the layout here, there may be some ancient formations that gather the vitality of heaven and earth here. 」

"There's an ancient array here?"

"Yes, I think it was laid down by the demon Dao back then, if you cultivate here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. However, the risk will inevitably increase, and if the cultivation is too smooth and you have not experienced the corresponding state of mind tempering, it will definitely cause the inner demons to grow, and it is easy to go mad. 」

Chen Nan nodded in agreement, and said, "The so-called gains must be lost, this world is balanced, people must learn to have, know how to give up. The Demon Dao was too greedy and ferocious back then, and after setting up a large array to gather the vitality of heaven and earth, he also slaughtered so many living beings, otherwise he would not have caused the disaster of killing. 」

The old man said, "It's one thing to say and do, and many bad natures are rooted in the depths of people's souls, and it is difficult to control them in the face of great temptations. For example, now that you have the power of a peerless master, can you not be tempted?"

Chen Nan laughed and said, "Tempting, of course, but I don't have such an opportunity. 」

The old man said, "What if there really is such an opportunity?"

"I'm tempted, but I'm going to give up eventually. 」

The old man stared at Chen Nan without blinking, and said, "Why?"

Chen Nan said: "The power obtained from the outside world is always not as pure as the cultivation of oneself, and I am afraid that it will shackle the development of one's own strength. 」

The old man sighed, "Young man, you are very conceited, but if you have the qualifications to be conceited, I will not be able to, death threatens my life at all times, if there is such a powerful force, I will never give up. 」

Chen Nan smiled and didn't say anything.

The old man said, "Young man, will you give me a hand, let me get rid of the shadow of death." 」

Chen Nan looked puzzled.

The old man's wrinkled cheeks trembled, and he said, "Young man, do you know? The first time you stepped into the ancient library, I sensed the aura in your body, and upon closer inspection, I found that you were born with a spiritual root. If I can get the help of someone who is born with spiritual roots, I may be able to obtain a huge force, so that I can continue my life for decades without having to cultivate the evil book. 」

The old man pointed to the domineering peerless master on the jade platform and said, "Do you know why there is a slight fluctuation gushing out of his body? It is because he has a huge power in his body, which is his world-beating cultivation, if he can channel those powers out......

After hearing this, Chen Nan's heart was cold, he was still wondering just now, even if the old man repaid the favor, he didn't have to lead him here, it turned out that all this was premeditated by this old man.

"Senior, you think about it too much, thousands of years have passed, and the heroic soul of that peerless master has long since disappeared, how can there be a powerful power hidden in his body? I think it's the result of his immortal body resonating with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. 」

The old man said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but it may also be what I guessed, how can I know if I don't try, young man, will you help me?"

Chen Nan said: "My cultivation is far worse than yours, how can I help you?"

The old man said, "This has nothing to do with cultivation, you have a spiritual root, it is very easy to attract the vitality of heaven and earth, if you and I work together, we will definitely be able to stimulate the power in the body of that peerless master." 」

Chen Nan was very reluctant to help this scheming old man, and even more unwilling to blaspheme that peerless master, but considering his current situation, he had to agree to the old man's request.

The old man was very happy and said, "Your spiritual root is innate, and my spiritual root is cultivated, far inferior to you. Stay for a while with your palms on his back, feel the power in his body with your heart, and then guide it out, and I will assist you by your side. 」

After boarding the jade platform, Chen Nan secretly said, "Offended. He put his hands behind the back of the immortal body, sensing the strange fluctuations with his heart.

The old man also reached out against the back of the immortal body, closed his eyes and sensed it carefully.

A complex and inexplicable emotion seemed to come from eternity and spread into Chennan's heart, making him feel as if he had experienced a thousand years in an instant, and his heart was extremely lost. He was taken aback, if it weren't for the cold tentacles of the Immortal Body, he really thought that this peerless master was going to be resurrected. He knew that the complex emotions were the feelings of the peerless master when he was dying, including loss and helplessness......

Chen Nan meditated, excluded all distracting thoughts, and carefully sensed the abnormal fluctuations in the immortal body. The sudden strange fluctuations seemed to resonate with him, and a majestic force began to surge in the immortal body. Chen Nan was taken aback, the remains of the peerless master really had a huge power hidden in his body. He was shocked, this was beyond his imagination, a person has been dead for thousands of years, and his body still retains that world-shattering power.

Chen Nan peeked over and saw that although the old man's hands were also against the back of the immortal body, he didn't seem to be aware of it, and he secretly made a decision in his heart, he must not guide this huge power out and inject it into the old man's body. He felt that this old man's scheming was too deep, and he was always incomprehensible, and if he was allowed to absorb this power, which was already extremely powerful, he didn't know what terrible consequences would be caused.

After a long time, Chen Nan put down his hands and sighed, "Except for the slightest strange fluctuation, I didn't feel any power flowing through this immortal body. 」

Hearing him say this, the old man also lowered his hands, and his face could not hide the look of disappointment.

After coming out of the ancient hall, in the empty ancient tunnel, Chen Nan was worried in his heart, he was afraid that this scheming old man would kill him here. It wasn't until he had drilled out of the hole in the ancient library that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man pushed the bookshelf back to its original position, smiled at Chen Nan, and said, "Hehe...... Young man, don't be afraid, I won't be unfavorable to you, you are the junior hero of my Chu State, how could I destroy the future fifth-order peerless master of the Chu State?"

The old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, my old man can live for twenty or thirty years with that evil book, and I can still give you some guidance during this period." 」

Chen Nanmu nodded, and it wasn't until he returned to Qishi Mansion that he felt the cold sweat on his body.
