The group enters a Giant Mountain passage filled with ancient runes. Inside, they discover a world with incredibly dense Yuan Qi, greatly accelerating cultivation. While most cultivators immediately begin to train, Chen Nan searches for the True Dragon's Heart Blood, concerned about potential trouble from the Divine Elephant Clan and a lingering poison. He also learns that a younger girl is within the secret realm, forcing him to abandon his escape plan. The Three Corpses Daoist approaches Chen Nan, offering him a place in the Heavenly Corpse Sect and hinting at knowledge of powerful techniques. Chen Nan, in turn, reveals knowledge of the Daoist's struggles to refine a Heavenly Corpse King, offering a path to success in exchange for a favor.

Chen Nan secretly exchanges with the Three Corpse Daoist without feeling any burden at all.

Even though he has gained trust from the Divine Elephant Clan, and Diewu treats him well,

he is very clear about one thing internally: this is based on an exchange of interests. If a real war breaks out, he must prove his value; otherwise, he will surely be abandoned.

In a chaotic battle, what can one rely on? Not schemes, not cleverness, but true strength.

And this is precisely what he currently lacks the most.

Zhao Han, Ye Yiyi, and himself alongside Haotian Tower can release strength sufficient to challenge a Great Star Position King, but that’s only with the opponent’s opportunity and favorable one-to-many conditions.

Back and forth, it’s just about profits. Chen Nan needs to find the existence that ties to his interests and can balance each other.

The Three Corpse Daoist is strong, and he has considerable authority within the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Praying Heaven Sect, making him the best choice.

"Hehe, Senior Three Corpse, I know someone with a unique physique who is a perfect candidate for you to refine into a heavenly corpse. Moreover, she has Asura bloodline; when the time comes... as long as..."

Chen Nan chuckled and said.

"An Asura bloodline? That’s impressive. With the flesh of someone from the Asura Clan, once refined into a heavenly corpse, by triggering the Asura Killing Intent within, it would have unmatched combat power and could indeed have the chance to become a king among the countless heavenly corpses."

Though secretly ecstatic, the Three Corpse Daoist conceals his joy and calmly transmits ideas to Chen Nan.

However, Chen Nan hasn’t mentioned his terms yet; now is not the time to rush, or this cunning lad might ask for difficult conditions, which would be troublesome.

"Besides the Asura bloodline, her body has another feature that upon refining into a heavenly corpse, her growth speed will be incredibly fast... Hehe, Senior Three Corpse, if you’re willing to meet my small request, I’ll tell you her whereabouts and ensure you can find her."

Chen Nan appeared very confident.

The Three Corpse Daoist frowned and smiled: "Kid, you may know about my Heavenly Corpse Sect, but I guess you don’t understand some secrets. To accelerate the growth of a heavenly corpse, one must spend vast resources to cultivate it."

The cunning Three Corpse Daoist does not intend to ask about Chen Nan’s conditions; he wants to wait for Chen Nan to say them directly. If he asks, he’ll fall into a disadvantage during the negotiation.

"Senior, see what this is?"

Chen Nan smiles calmly, not bothering to refute the Three Corpse Daoist’s words, revealing a worm in his palm.

"Thousand Corpse Poison Insect, you... How do you have this venomous creature? It’s an untold secret of my Sect..."

Previously shocked by Chen Nan’s knowledge, now even more shocked to see the Thousand Corpse Poison Insect in his hands.

"Not just one, but many, hehe, so you must believe my words, right?" Chen Nan smiled lightly.

This Thousand Corpse Poison Insect entered his body during the battle with Hong Yu; if it weren’t for his Chaos Sacred Body, he would’ve been done for.

But due to the Chaotic Power, these Thousand Corpse Poison Insects caused no harm inside him, and their toxicity has been refined into cultivation by Chen Nan.

After merging with the Heavenly Emperor’s Heart, Chen Nan completely suppressed the Thousand Corpse Poison Insects in his body, and during the God Demon Transformation in the True Dragon Secret Realm, his power surged, allowing him to refine the mark on these Thousand Corpse Poison Insects, making them his Spiritual Pets.

"Looks like I’ve really underestimated you. It’s already remarkable that your cultivation can resist this poison insect’s backlash. Alright, state your condition."

Chen Nan gave the Three Corpse Daoist too many surprises; he has finally decided to see Chen Nan’s bottom line.

"Actually, the condition isn’t difficult. After leaving the True Dragon Secret Realm, you must follow my orders. I won’t ask you to do anything you can’t accomplish, but I want you to swear to the Heavenly Dao."

Chen Nan smiled as he spoke.

"Obey your orders, you brat, don’t you think your condition is too excessive? Besides, my Heavenly Corpse Sect acts against the heavens; asking me to swear to the Heavenly Dao shows you don’t understand our ways."

The Three Corpse Daoist’s eyes shifted, revealing a teasing expression.

"I know, the Heavenly Corpse Sect refines heavenly corpses, creatures between life and death, that are rejected by Heaven and Earth and targeted by the Heavenly Dao. Every time you elevate your realm, you must battle the Heavenly Dao, right?"

Chen Nan laughed; to him, the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s confrontation with the Heavenly Dao is child’s play. "Your struggles are merely for survival, whereas I... Hehe, the Heavenly Dao has its laws, which is why your Heavenly Corpse Sect, despite having methods that can strengthen the Sect greatly, dares not act recklessly."

Upon Chen Nan’s reasoning, the Three Corpse Daoist’s face turned sour: "You actually understand this principle."

"So, if you break your oath, then when you elevate your realm, your calamity will surely increase." Chen Nan chuckled.

"You... Alright, you’ve won, but why should I obey you in the True Dragon Secret Realm?" Three Corpse Daoist shook his head with a smile.

"In your Heavenly Corpse Sect, refining a Heavenly Corpse King is a symbol of status, and regardless of the attribute the final Heavenly Corpse King among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, it’ll greatly enhance your expertise in the Five Elements."

"I see you haven’t comprehended the Five Elements Law, but with the foundation of the laws you currently possess, you’ll not only gain a Heavenly Corpse King but also one of the Five Elements’ laws, with very little cost. You’re lucky; I’m still very weak now. If I were strong enough, I wouldn’t offer you this vast favor; any king from your Heavenly Corpse Sect would be more than willing to pay ten or even a hundred times the price to aid me."

Confident and sure, Chen Nan, amidst the countless gleaming lights in the Three Corpse Daoist’s eyes, he calculated and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Finally, he nodded, "I agree."

After saying that, he immediately swore to the Heavenly Dao.

Chen Nan nodded in satisfaction; if the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Divine Elephant Clan were to turn against each other, he would have the Three Corpse Daoist as a backing, at least gaining protection.

After talking to Chen Nan, the Three Corpse Daoist plunged into cultivation; training at hundreds or thousands of times the speed is something he very much needs.

At this moment, these Great Star Position Kings each showed signs of vigilance, "Something’s wrong, someone has entered."

Chen Nan sweeps with his Divine Sense, indeed finding at the entrance of the passage the presence of dozens of powerful beings.

"It’s the people from Shadow Sect and Flame Sect, eighteen in total."

A cultivator from Praying Heaven Sect spoke, his face changing. Although they draw strength from the Heavenly Dao and have strong Divine Power, their defenses are weak. If chaos ensues and the Heavenly Corpse Sect can’t protect them, casualties are inevitable.

"Are we just going to let them in like this?" A strong figure from the Heavenly Corpse Sect said, his face changing several times. Although they haven’t found the True Dragon body and treasure here, it’s a paradise for cultivation.
