Wanxiang True Monarch led Chen Nan and others into the Ghost Mist Forest, encountering four powerful sacred beasts. After a brief display of Wanxiang True Monarch's overwhelming strength, they were guided by the Five-colored Divine Bull towards the "Old Ghost." Arriving at a cemetery filled with tombstones and Yin Souls, they met a frail old man emanating intense death energy. Chen Nan, recognizing the energy, approached the old man and began absorbing the death energy into his Chaos Sacred Body, much to Wanxiang True Monarch's surprise. The old man, revealed to be the "Old Ghost," invited Chen Nan to stay and learn.

He was feeling excited, but Wanxiang True Monarch had a speechless expression on his face.

Wanxiang True Monarch cleared his throat, "Ahem, Elder Ghost, how many years has it been since you last took on an apprentice? Are you planning to break your vow now?"

The tone was calm but tinged with a bit of jealousy.

Elder Ghost raised his head and carefully scrutinized Wanxiang True Monarch, "This is the Ghost Mist Forest, right? When have I ever let others dictate my actions?"

Wanxiang True Monarch’s face changed, trying to get angry, but he instantly returned to calmness and smiled faintly, "I indeed can’t manage the affairs of the Ghost Mist Forest, but Chen Nan is my person."

Wanxiang True Monarch directly opposed, while Chen Nan was about to deny it on the spot, but Elder Ghost had already spoken first, "Your person? He’s standing next to me, so naturally, he’s my person."

Flower Gu and Hong Yu, watching this scene, had looks of envy, jealousy, and a faint resentment in their eyes.

"What kind of dog luck did this Chen Nan have, why is he favored by this Elder Ghost? This old man looks aged and weathered, but the ability to command the Four Holy Beasts and make Wanxiang True Monarch suffer, his strength must be immense."

"You..."

Wanxiang True Monarch was so angry he almost vomited blood, Chen Nan chuckled inwardly, this Elder Ghost’s shamelessness had a style similar to his own, even shameless to a greater degree.

Without distinguishing right from wrong, and without fear of offending others, he rendered Wanxiang True Monarch speechless on the spot.

"Haha, Wanxiang City Lord, I know very well why you’ve come to Ghost Mist Forest. Over these tens of thousands of years, I’ve grown tired of guarding these tombs. If a fated person truly receives the inheritance of those punished by Heaven, it’s a good thing. However, the Thousand Stele Forest, it’s easy to enter, but to come out, it’s life-threatening. You should explain this clearly to these three youngsters."

Thousand Stele Forest? Chen Nan’s heart skipped a beat as he carefully observed the nearby tombstones, only then realizing that beneath this covered mist, there were at least a thousand tombstones.

"I had seen too few earlier." Chen Nan took a deep breath.

He had seen those Yin Souls, thinking they were buried in these tombstones, but upon closer inspection, he realized these Yin Souls were born naturally in this sinister place, due to the overwhelming yin energy, they came into existence.

"No wonder those Yin Souls shrank back into the ground immediately when the Five-Colored Divine Bull roared, it turns out they aren’t the spirits entombed by these tombstones."

Looking at the Elder Ghost beside him, Chen Nan thought to himself, judging from Elder Ghost’s words, those buried beneath the tombstones were their brothers and sisters, all dead from Heaven’s punishment.

With so many siblings from the mouth of a strong person, it likely means they were comrades or partners, not blood-related, all of similar strength.

"Damn, no wonder when I came in here, it felt completely different from outside, the burial place of a thousand Ancient Giants, here..."

Chen Nan pondered in his mind.

Wanxiang City Lord’s eyes flashed with a bright light, "Three? Doesn’t Elder Ghost intend to keep Chen Nan behind?"

Elder Ghost laughed wickedly, "I’m not in a hurry to teach Divine Skills. In this Thousand Stele Forest, it’s all about fate. This young fellow and I are destined, perhaps also with these brothers of mine, let him take a walk inside."

Wanxiang True Monarch sneered, "Aren’t you afraid he’ll be buried in there?"

His tone carried a chilling intent, seemingly not just speaking to Elder Ghost.

Chen Nan inwardly exclaimed not good, the situation he had been worried about finally happened.

Wanxiang True Monarch was openly authorizing Flower Gu and Hong Yu to join forces to kill him.

’Wanxiang True Monarch thinks I can’t be used by him, has murderous intent, it’s unsurprising, but Elder Ghost, willing to teach me Divine Skills, yet letting me enter a perilous place, what’s his intention?’

Chen Nan was puzzled.

Standing beside him, Elder Ghost had already spoken, "Wanxiang City Lord, having reached the Supreme King Realm, you must know how many times you’ve faced life and death challenges. I know this very well. These deceased brothers of mine were powerful in life, but with death comes extinguished lamp, their residual souls are not so terrible, a one in ten chance of survival isn’t small, is it?"

"For cultivators like us, with a ten percent chance of hope, isn’t it significant?"

Elder Ghost smiled and waved, and in front of the Thousand Stele Forest, a path suddenly appeared on the road leading through the thousand tombstones.

Chen Nan fixed his gaze and couldn’t help but blurt out, "Bone Road."

The tone of Wanxiang True Monarch also revealed a sinister intent, "Elder Ghost, it seems the missing Supremes of Wanxiang City over the years are indeed buried here. This path of bones, however, allows the Residual Souls in your Thousand Stele Forest not to be scattered by the lingering power of Heaven’s punishment."

"Wanxiang City Lord, play a game of chess with me, let these three youngsters walk along the Bone Road, and take a look in the Thousand Stele Forest."

Elder Ghost waved his hand, and his figure was already in the air.

Showing no trace of his previous near-death aura.

A massive chessboard, seemingly filling the sky, appeared high above.

Wanxiang True Monarch laughed heartily, "I’ve long heard of Elder Ghost’s extraordinary prowess in chess, today I shall impolitely join you."

In an instant, he entered the chessboard.

In a moment, the black and white flags on the board surged like Jiao Longs leaving the sea.

The entire Ghost Mist Forest was swept by a gale.

"This isn’t just a game, the pressure from that chessboard alone would kill me in an instant with my current strength."

Chen Nan was still transfixed, watching, as two figures in front transformed into streams of light.

Flower Gu and Hong Yu one after the other stepped onto the Bone Road.

Chen Nan chuckled, following behind them, he too stepped onto the Bone Road.

He moved exceptionally quickly, reaching the end of the Bone Road in the blink of an eye.

As he stepped out, the landscape before him suddenly opened up, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Here the chilling winds howled, as he stood within the Thousand Stele Forest, an overwhelming sense of insignificance washed over him.

Above the Thousand Stele Forest, numerous ghostly faces emerged, continuously howling at him.

At this moment, he truly felt infinitely small.

Chen Nan scanned with his Divine Sense, but found that the distance it could extend wasn’t far, and if forcibly driven, it would immediately be consumed entirely by the yin energy here.

"Buried here are Ancient Giants, how glorious they were in life, yet forgotten in death, with only Elder Ghost left as the Tomb Guardian in this Ghost Mist Forest."

Chen Nan sighed deeply, as he scanned around with his Divine Sense, not finding any trace of Flower Gu and Hong Yu, indicating they had already moved far away.

He was just about to step out when he suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes within the tomb was watching him intently.
