Chapter 1437: Three Mountains Forbidden Land
Chen Nan’s feelings of disappointment lasted only for a moment before he quickly regained his spirits, recalling the time at the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss when he left the Flying Boat to unlock the barriers between the Inner and Outer Sea.
Thinking about it, Yuan Sensen should be with other members of the Demon Clan, and shouldn’t be in any danger.
At the same time, he also felt very fortunate, because like the Outer Sea, the Inner Sea also has Cultivation Sects, and so far there’s no apparent difference between the two seas or the Nine Provinces Continent.
"Yun Ying the Female Knight, thank you for saving my life." Chen Nan cupped his hands, paused for a bit, and continued, "I am Chen Nan."
Yun Ying looked quite pleased, nodding constantly at Chen Nan: "If you can speak, say more. Call me Female Knight a couple more times?"
Chen Nan immediately understood that this young girl truly wanted to become a Female Knight, not just say it casually, and he couldn’t help but laugh silently.
"A Female Knight isn’t just named, but through deeds; Yun Ying the Female Knight, for saving me from peril, indeed deserves the title Female Knight."
Yun Ying seemed to have never been praised this way before, smiling until her eyes squinted, she quickly walked over to Chen Nan: "Oh, you don’t have to thank me so much, it’s what a Female Knight ought to do."
"By the way, where are you from? Why are you so severely injured?"
Chen Nan hesitated momentarily, because he didn’t know if the Inner Sea had any particular notions about people from the Outer Sea, so for the moment, his identity as an arrival from the Outer Sea should remain a secret.
"I am merely a Loose Cultivator, hunted down by others, hence my current plight."
"What? On our Moon River Valley’s territory, someone dares act recklessly? You tell me who it is, and I’ll have my senior brothers deal with them!" Yun Ying looked very surprised, patting her chest as she spoke.
She clearly hadn’t encountered much of the scheming and deceit of the Cultivation World, which made her seem somewhat naive.
"It’s all in the past, Yun Ying the Female Knight doesn’t need to worry." Chen Nan smiled: "I wonder how long I’ve been unconscious?"
"Over a month, I suppose." Yun Ying pondered while pinching her chin, then casually patted Chen Nan’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, you just follow me in future, in Moon River Valley, no one will dare bully you."
Chen Nan’s face carried a smile; he could tell Moon River Valley clearly cared greatly for this young girl, but he came to the Inner Sea primarily to search for Cultivation Resources and secondarily to gather materials to concoct the Breaking Infant Pill.
If possible, he even hoped to find a way back to the Outer Sea, for one day, he must return to the Nine Provinces Continent, and by then, everyone who has wronged him will face retribution!
Therefore, Chen Nan couldn’t accompany Yun Ying in her game of playing Female Knight, so he politely declined: "I am just a lowly Loose Cultivator, weak in power, better not trouble Yun Ying the Female Knight."
"I will leave after resting for two days."
Despite his severe injuries, with Yin Qi Threads constantly corroding his body, he knew he could slowly expel them, but he couldn’t let debts accumulate indefinitely.
"You’re leaving?" Yun Ying appeared very surprised and a little reluctant, as she had never had someone genuinely call her Female Knight before; this was her first act of chivalry.
Chen Nan seemed like her trophy, how could she bear to let him go?
"You don’t have to leave; our Moon River Valley is one of the top Sects in the Star River Domain, I can totally arrange for you to become an Outer Disciple."
"Look at you, not young anymore, yet still holding Third Layer of Foundation Establishment Cultivation, being a Loose Cultivator makes it harder to access Cultivation Resources, I can help you!"
She blinked her big bright eyes earnestly, full of eagerness, seemingly wanting Chen Nan to agree.
"Thank you for your love, Yun Ying the Female Knight, but I am truly undeserving." Chen Nan refused once again.
Yun Ying seemed genuinely upset, stomping her foot in exasperation, with a cold huff she walked to the side, as if waiting for Chen Nan to coax her.
"Ah, still a young girl unacquainted with the world."
Chen Nan sighed slightly, nonetheless, Yun Ying saved him, he owed her gratitude, even if he didn’t join Moon River Valley, he shouldn’t anger her.
So he stepped forward, intending to placate Yun Ying, inadvertently looking up, he suddenly noticed three large mountains within the distant clouds.
Because the clouds blocked the view, only the outlines of the three large mountains could be seen, Chen Nan couldn’t help but frown, for the outlines of these three peaks seemed very familiar to him.
"Strange, where have I seen them?"
His steps didn’t stop as he pondered carefully in his mind, suddenly a flash of insight—he remembered where he had seen these three aligned peaks.
Treasure Map!
Chen Nan restrained his excitement and did not take out the Treasure Map, considering Yun Ying was still present, but he had already confirmed it, these three peaks were marked on the Treasure Map.
Back on Ten Thousand Treasures Island, after the Demon Cultivators retreated, Island Master Xin Zi led him to the treasure house and obtained this Treasure Map. Xin Zi had said then he’d never seen three mountains connected together.
No wonder he didn’t know, these three mountains clearly are in the Inner Sea, people who haven’t been to the Inner Sea surely wouldn’t know!
"Truly a blessing in disguise, I thought it was lost, yet found it here." Chen Nan said to himself, extremely joyous.
Within these three large mountains, there could be hidden Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects "Taiyin", which concerned whether Chen Nan’s Myriad Phenomena Golden Core could acquire another attribute power, affecting his own strength.
Therefore, he had to give it a try no matter what. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Yun Ying the Female Knight?" Chen Nan approached Yun Ying, who was sulking.
