Return of the Ancient Gods

After walking for a while, Chu Nan and his companions encountered another trouble:

The students of the academy are destroying all items related to Chu Xiu, trying to erase him from the history of the academy. However, there is a place where a powerful means has been set up, and the strong pressure prevents people from getting close.

"That was a technique left by Chu Xiu before the accident. It is extremely powerful, but it also has significant side effects. I have listed it as a forbidden technique." Dean Chu explained patiently, and then said:

"He told me at the time that he hoped this could help someone who was destined to receive it, but he also didn't want someone who was not strong enough to get it, as it would harm themselves and others, so he set up this test."

Judging from Chu Zhesheng's expression, he probably supports Chu Xiu's statement. He is afraid of the side effects, but cannot withstand its powerful effects.

Seeing Chu Nan coming, all the students perked up:

"Senior, please help and destroy that thief's prestige!"

Dean Chu didn't say anything, nor did he show any intention of taking action. Instead, he gave Chu Nan a look, asking him to give it a try.

The technique was placed on a ten-foot-high stone pillar. A powerful pressure was arranged within a circle with a radius of three feet. The closer to the stone pillar, the more terrifying the pressure.

Some people tried to force their way in, but eventually they couldn't bear it and vomited blood and fainted, or their bones burst, and they had no choice but to give up.

Chu Nan did not hesitate and stepped directly in. At the beginning, it was very smooth, but when the pressure increased to a level that a Tianxuan realm strong man could bear, the speed began to slow down.

Finally, Chu Nan couldn't hold on any longer and was about to kneel down under the pressure, his brows furrowed.

"Hey, this is..."

He mobilized his strength to his feet and stood up with difficulty. His bones kept making crackling sounds, and blood and sweat slowly flowed down his skin. Every step he took left a clear blood mark on the ground.

After some persistence, Chu Nan gritted his teeth and persevered, punched the stone pillar, and successfully obtained the skills.

He was about to reach out to grab it, but Dean Chu came to Chu Nan's side and dissuaded him:

"Your Highness is very powerful and has indeed regained his former glory, but I advise you not to practice this technique! In order to prevent you from thinking about it, leave this technique to me for safekeeping."

Dean Chu wanted to snatch it away, but was rejected by Chu Nan.

"No, let's wait and see what tricks that guy plays."

The name of the skill is Sanyuan Burning Blood Skill, a god-level skill. By sacrificing a certain amount of lifespan, one can condense into two clones. The three bodies can practice together to achieve a rapid increase in cultivation and realm.

"Trading life for strength, it seems cruel, but it is fair. But this is only useful for people at a low level, otherwise it would not just be a god-level technique." After reading the introduction, Chu Nan made some disdainful comments, understood Chu Xiu's intention, and decisively accepted it.

"That bastard Chu Xiu thinks that I am too weak and cannot fight him, so he came up with this idea to help me improve my fighting power? How boring!

It's just a little life span, there's nothing to be ashamed of, I'm just afraid you'll regret it later!"

Hearing this, Chu Zhesheng's face turned ugly. Chu Nan really didn't listen to the advice. He had to admit that Chu Xiu was scheming.

The others looked confused, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time after hearing what Chu Nan said. When they came to their senses, Chu Nan and Dean Chu had already walked away.

Tiandao Monument,

This was a gift from the Demon Suppression King when the academy was first established. Practicing nearby can help one gain a better understanding.

When Chu Nan and the other arrived, the Heavenly Dao Monument was already surrounded by students, but they were still very conscious and enthusiastic and made way for him.

"Now I have reached the peak of the Shenzang Realm, and I am only a step away from the Tianxuan Realm." Chu Nan didn't hesitate and sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to practice.

The key to breaking through to the Tianxuan realm is to comprehend the power of heaven and earth and leave your own mark in the world.

From this point on, cultivation changes from developing the body's potential to understanding the great principles of heaven and earth.

In fact, for someone like Chu Nan who broke through and then stood up, he could directly break through to the Tianxuan realm, but he was unwilling to do so:

This time he had made breakthroughs in both his soul and body, had more powerful skills, and was developing from a higher starting point. Wouldn't it be a joke if he could only achieve the same achievements as before?

After meditating for a long time, Chu Nan gained some understanding. He condensed his own Taoist seal in the palm of his hand and slowly sent it towards the sky.

"Senior, you have re-entered the Tianxuan Realm!" Although many students present have not yet entered the Tianxuan Realm, they have seen it many times and naturally know what this posture means.

The Tianxuan Realm is a big hurdle that many people are shut out of despite their entire lives. Now Chu Nan has achieved it almost in one thought, which cannot help but surprise people.

But the more exciting part is yet to come. Everyone looked up at the sky:

I saw that the void in the direction where Chu Nan had just cast the mark was shaking and shaky, as if something was about to fall.

"Did it really fail?" Chu Nan looked at it intently and was the first to react. Everything was unexpected yet reasonable.

After a while, the void collapsed, and the mark that Chu Nan had cast out fell down with some fragments. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the mark gradually disappeared without a trace in the process of falling.

"Senior failed to leave a mark and failed to advance to the Tianxuan realm?" After a long time, the crowd of onlookers were stunned and questioned. They couldn't believe Chu Nan's failure and said it was impossible. Then they found an explanation.

"Could it be that you, Senior, have already left a mark before, and now it's coming again so there's a conflict?"

"No, it's because my mark is too strong, far beyond the tolerance of this world, so this happened." Chu Nan shook his head and explained. The last time he left his mark, there was turbulence in the void and a small-scale collapse. It was not surprising that this happened now.

Too strong, even the heaven and earth cannot bear it?

Everyone shouted "Wow!" and then couldn't help but gasp. How strong must one have to be to be able to do this?

Chu Zhesheng had the same reaction. He believed that he was far from being able to do this back then. Chu Nan really exceeded his understanding, from beginning to end.

Everyone knows how powerful Chu Nan is, but how can he be promoted to the Tianxuan realm?

The power of the Tianxuan Realm lies in its ability to leverage the power of heaven and earth to multiply its might.

Even if Chu Nan breaks through the limit in the Shenzang Realm, he may not be able to defeat a Tianxuan Realm master. Time is running out now. How should he deal with it?

The students looked worried and asked:

"Then Senior, why don't you go find a more stable place and try to break through?"

As soon as these words came out, hope was ignited, but Chu Nan poured a basin of cold water on it:

"This is the most stable place in the capital, otherwise why would the academy be built here?"

He had discussed this matter with Princess Jinyang before, and had imagined a situation like this, but the answer he got was no:

Breaking through the limit is certainly a good thing, but if you exceed the limit at this step, then your practice will take a fork in the road, which may be an unprecedented road or a cliff, and the latter is more likely.

I didn’t have the ability to try it before, but now I have it, but I don’t know how to solve it.

Chu Nan sat quietly under the Heavenly Dao Monument for a whole day, thinking about how to crack it, but he didn't make any breakthroughs.
