After Zhong Ling woke up, Gao Xue finally understood what it meant to keep one's wealth hidden. The key was that this master and disciple usually kept a low profile and always said they lacked cultivation resources.

Fortunately, with Zhong Ling's considerable wealth, Gao Xue quickly purchased several top-grade Seventh Grade Healing Pills. Though Sixth Grade Elixirs were unattainable, even these pills were rare finds.

Zhong Ling fed the pills to Chen Nan, whose previously pale face visibly became rosy as he finally slowly regained consciousness.

"Master, you finally woke up. Ling'er was scared to death!" Zhong Ling cried tears of joy, hugging Chen Nan tightly.

Seeing Zhong Ling unharmed, Chen Nan finally felt at ease, confirming that his desperate efforts had not been in vain.

"Alright, alright, Master is fine. If you keep crying, you'll really send me off."

After a while, Zhong Ling stopped crying. They both felt very fortunate to have survived the ordeal.

At the same time, a large number of cultivators were buried in the relics, collapsing along with the space.

"By the way, where is this place?"

Chen Nan hadn't forgotten his purpose for returning—to take Zhong Ling away, so as not to be discovered by Master Canglan.

"Rest assured, we are quite far from Luoyue Island, and no one knows our identity," Gao Xue quickly explained from the side.

"Thank you for your efforts." Chen Nan smiled at her but quickly shook his head: "After resting for a few days, we must leave. This place is not safe either."

Gao Xue frowned: "Even a Nascent Soul Realm Master can't find us, right?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"You underestimate the abilities of Nascent Soul Cultivators," Chen Nan said gravely, "In any case, you must do as I say."

In the following days, Chen Nan focused on healing. With the Healing Pills and his own recovery power, his external injuries quickly healed.

However, the backlash from forcefully using Space Law didn't just damage his external body; his internal meridians also suffered. Without spiritual pills and elixirs, it would take at least months to recover.

Chen Nan didn't want to wait any longer—no one could predict what unexpected events might happen, so he decided to leave with Zhong Ling. Gao Xue insisted on joining them.

"I am Ling'er's protector, wherever Ling'er goes, I go," Gao Xue said stubbornly.

Chen Nan had no choice but to take Gao Xue with him. His destination was Golden Sun Island.

Apart from Ning Yu and Zheng Yunzhou, no one knew that Chen Nan had been to Golden Sun Island, making it a relatively safe place.

Chen Nan believed that Master Canglan wouldn't just let things drop like this, and that perhaps other opportunities would arise, meaning that taking refuge on Golden Sun Island was just temporary.

On the way to Golden Sun Island, Gao Xue piloted the flying boat while Chen Nan used the time on board to continue healing.

In his spare time, he took out the biggest gain from the Immortal Dynasty relics: the Jade Seal.

The Jade Seal was carved with eight ancient characters. Although Chen Nan couldn't read them, he could guess their meaning—words to excite any man.

"Mandated by Heaven, long shall it thrive."

No man could resist the allure of these words.

Holding the Jade Seal, Chen Nan noticed some cracks on it and thought to himself, what a pity. Although the cracks seemed minor, the Jade Seal had lost its spiritual nature and was severely damaged.

The Immortal Dynasty was once incredibly powerful, and as the Imperial Jade Seal that suppressed its fortunes, it must have been a high-ranked Spiritual Artifact. How high, Chen Nan could not guess.

But he believed it was higher than Third Grade.

In other words, this Jade Seal was once a Spiritual Artifact of above Third Grade. If it were in the present day, cultivators would fight over it fiercely.

Repairing the Jade Seal would likely require a great amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Chen Nan attempted a blood-binding ritual and found he could indeed refine the Jade Seal. When he channeled mana into it, the Seal could be activated.

However, due to the damage, the Seal could only unleash the power of a Sixth-grade Spiritual Artifact.

"Attack!"

With this thought, the Jade Seal in Chen Nan's hand emitted a brilliant golden light, striking fiercely upon a distant space.

With a loud roar, that space twisted violently as if a sheet of paper crumpled instantly, with vast energy waves sweeping in all directions, filling Chen Nan with wild joy.

Even with only Sixth Grade power remaining, the Seal's power was astonishing. Not even those at the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection could necessarily withstand its blow.

Even a Nascent Soul First Stage Cultivator could be injured if caught off guard.

Both Gao Xue and Zhong Ling were equally stunned, rendered speechless with wide eyes.

"Here's an extra ace up my sleeve," Chen Nan rejoiced, retrieving the Seal in his hand for continued refining.

If possible, he would try to repair the Seal. It might become an extraordinary treasure.

As he was about to fully refine the Seal, he discovered a small dot inside—like a piece of impurity, not fusing with the Seal but closely connected to it.

Moreover, Chen Nan sensed a familiar aura from this "impurity."

"I must find out what this thing is!"

Determined, Chen Nan mobilized all his Divine Soul Power, aiming to view the "impurity" clearly. His Divine Soul Power turned into a drill, determined to pierce the "impurity."

Once, twice... A day, two days...

He maintained this effort for over half a month. As they neared the Golden Sun Island, Chen Nan finally made progress.

"Almost there, just a bit more!"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Nan felt the "impurity" was only shielded by a thin barrier. Once pierced, he could unveil its true nature. At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of ease.

The Divine Soul Power broke through the "impurity," entering its core, opening a whole new vision ahead.

Below lay a grand Immortal Hall, though most had turned to ruins, hidden within a vast mountain with tree-filled slopes and lush grasses.

"Is this... the Immortal Dynasty's relic?" An intense shock filled Chen Nan's heart—he never imagined the relic space was hidden within the Jade Seal.

Yet, it seemed the other parts of the relic space had collapsed into nothingness, leaving only this Immortal Hall intact along with a Spirit Medicine Garden.

The space collapse might have caused chaos within, replacing the original location of the Spirit Medicine Garden with the square in front of the Immortal Hall.

Chen Nan's heart shifted from shock to joy—was this not a stroke of fortune falling from the heavens?

Now that the relic entrance had collapsed, he alone could access the Immortal Palace Space, turning it into his private domain, much more reliable than a storage bag.

Even better, he could use the Spirit Medicine Garden here to cultivate spiritual medicines!
