Chen Nan was stunned!
Were women in the divine realm so simple and crude?
This was fine.
As long as someone was willing to marry him, what did it matter if he suffered a little?
After all.
Saving the three realms was more important than anything.
Even so.
Chen Nan had not lost his senses. He resisted while saying, "There's no rush for the wedding night. We can go back to your room first, at least there's a bed there!"
The sacred land was all uneven stones.
Although there were a few futons for meditation.
But sitting was not as convenient as lying down.
"It's only a moment's effort, just endure it," Xuan Qingniao said, blushing.
In fact, she had not thought about what to do with Chen Nan.
Because Chen Nan was an extremely unfamiliar man to her.
However.
She knew that Chen Nan had the potential to pull out the divine blade.
Once he pulled out the divine blade.
She could then follow him to the third heaven, search for the legendary phoenix grass, and put her grandfather and father at ease.
It was precisely because of this.
That she had resolutely agreed to marry Chen Nan.
What she wanted was just not to let her grandfather and father watch her die...
"Xuan Qingniao, you're going too far!" Chen Nan was getting angry.
"What do you mean a moment's effort?"
"Do you know I can last an hour?"
"Do you know what it means for a man who could originally last an hour after drinking?"
"You can't look down on people!"
Although he had a good temper.
And rarely got angry.
But when it came to a man's dignity.
How could he be so looked down upon?
Xuan Qingniao's footsteps faltered, and then she said softly, "My divine power was reversed during my breakthrough, and my meridians were damaged. You'll have to be careful later!"
Pfft!
Chen Nan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She had an ulterior motive!
She hoped he would be gentle and not kill her!
Damn it!
So she was so eager because she was dying?
That was quite disheartening.
Without further thought, Chen Nan said again, "This is your clan's sacred land. Are you sure you can do that kind of thing in the sacred land?"
Xuan Qingniao asked calmly, "Is there anything wrong with doing sacred things in the sacred land?"
------
Outside the cave.
Xuan Ming was dumbfounded: "What happened?"
Xuan Ji came back to his senses in shock. He swallowed nervously: "Father, it seems our Xuan family has a son-in-law!"
Xuan Ming was petrified: "The ancestor became my grandson-in-law? How should I address him from now on?"
"Why don't we just call each other what we usually do!" Xuan Ji said with a wry smile. "I'll call him ancestor, and he'll call me father-in-law. No one loses out."
Xuan Ming sighed: "Actually, this is not a bad ending."
------
An hour later.
Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao gradually regained their senses.
Their clothes were disheveled.
However, Xuan Qingniao felt a strange warm current in her body.
It was as if her injuries had lessened.
But recalling what had happened before.
She blushed.
She also regretted doing that thing in the cave.
Due to the terrain, it was really tiring.
"You go aside first, I'll try to pull out the cold blade!" Chen Nan's eyes were serious. He was now considered a member of the Cold Blade tribe. Whether he could pull out the cold blade depended on this moment.
"My legs are weak, carry me!" Xuan Qingniao said with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Although Chen Nan had been considerate of her feelings at first.
Later, he had gone mad.
Like a storm.
Fortunately, her willpower was amazing, otherwise, she would have relapsed into her old illness and died.
Chen Nan did not refuse her. He picked her up and placed her on a futon in the distance.
Then he walked towards the cold blade step by step.
Though he appeared calm.
His heart was incredibly tense.
Especially when he was only ten meters away from the cold blade, his heart was in his throat.
He knew what this next step meant.
If this step he took did not trigger the blade's intent.
Then he could walk next to the cold blade.
And he would have a chance to pull out the cold blade.
But if...
If what happened before repeated itself.
Then he had been taken advantage of by Xuan Qingniao!
He wasn't clean anymore!
Taking a deep breath.
Chen Nan stepped forward with a determined gaze, taking that crucial step.
As his right foot landed.
The cold blade in front of him was still suspended there quietly.
It did not unleash a more terrifying blade intent.
This made his worried heart finally settle, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Xuan Qingniao in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief.
She had done what she could and what she couldn't.
As for whether Chen Nan could pull out the cold blade, it was up to fate.
Nine meters!
Eight meters!
Five meters!
Three meters!
Finally, Chen Nan reached a position one meter away from the cold blade.
He extended his right hand and grasped the hilt.
Instantly.
A biting cold surged from the hilt, instantly covering his arm with a layer of frost.
Xuan Qingniao said weakly, "Don't resist!"
"Everyone who tries to pull out the cold blade has to endure the attack of the cold!"
"This will not have any effect on the body!"
Chen Nan grunted and did not resist the frost.
In an instant.
His entire body was covered in a layer of frost.
He looked like he had just walked out of an icy and snowy land.
"Xuan Qingniao is right, this frost not only has no effect on the body, but it also has many benefits." Chen Nan was overjoyed, feeling that the hardness of his body had increased by another level.
As the frost receded, he gripped the hilt with both hands and pulled upward with all his might.
Rumble!
The ground shook.
Rocks fell from the ceiling.
It was as if the cave was about to collapse at any moment.
"Come out for me!"
Chen Nan roared. He could feel a powerful suction at the base of the cold blade, which was resisting him.
As if it did not want to be pulled out by him.
As he exerted too much force.
Grotesque veins appeared on his arm.
Even his forehead showed the same.
The cave trembled even more violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred.
This anomaly caused all the members of the Cold Blade tribe to feel a strong sense of unease, and many even came to the outside of the sacred land.
Chen Nan used all his might but could not pull out the cold blade.
He was panting from exhaustion.
However.
He did not give up.
He bit his fingertip.
A drop of pale golden blood dripped onto the red ore on the hilt of the cold blade.
Drip!
The blood was instantly absorbed by the red ore.
Instantly!
Azure radiance erupted from the cold blade, dazzling and impossible to look at directly.
Following that.
The radiance entered Chen Nan's body.
A powerful and fierce blade intent surged within Chen Nan.
Causing him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
At this moment!
He felt as if he had transformed into a blade.
A blade that could sever the Milky Way, an eternal blade.
"It's out?"
Xuan Qingniao's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
Although she had always hoped that Chen Nan could pull out the cold blade.
Seeing him pull out the cold blade with her own eyes, she was still very excited.
Because this represented her hope of survival!
Chen Nan also ended the pain of the cold blade entering his body.
He opened the jade box with a slightly haggard look, took out an ancient tattered painting from it, and said with burning eyes, "Now only the tattered painting of the Beili tribe remains."
"As long as that painting is obtained, the path to ascension can be restarted, and the third heaven can be reached!"
