Chapter 813: Chapter 425: Stacked Good Fortune
“To enter the top ten thousand,” Su Nan said in a low voice, “you’d probably need about seven to eight hundred points of Qi Luck. We’re all still quite short. Originally, with ten days’ time, even if we couldn’t obtain the inheritance, we could still gather Qi Luck through other methods.”
“Now, we don’t have much time left. Although the Demon Clan Ancestral Land will open today, whether we can obtain anything from it is still unknown, and we don’t know how much time we will waste within it.”
“If we are unlucky and encounter danger in the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, resulting in death, we’ll waste at least another two days.”
After the Fourth Public Test, the penalty for player death increased—once you die in the game, you can only login again two days later.
It’s already the sixth day now. If we succeed in this task, it would be fine, but if we fail, then we would be at a loss.”
It’s very possible that we won’t even be able to complete the first ring of the Luck Child’s task.
Although the rewards for the first ring of the Luck Child’s task are not substantial for our current mission, and the reward’s effect on Qi Luck is not significant,
if there’s a chance, no one would willingly give up.”
“At this point, we no longer have a choice.”
…
Moonfall and sunrise.
A new day begins in the game.
Picking Stars Peak is bustling today, as the geniuses from all clans gather together once again. Many set their sights on the Grand Hall at the peak, with anticipation in their eyes.
“Although we don’t have the chance to enter the Ancestral Land, entering the Heavenly Demon Hall isn’t bad either. If we’re lucky, there’s a good chance to gain fortunes,” some players discussed.
“That’s right, the Ancestral Land isn’t as wonderful as it seems. Every time it opens, there are sure to be geniuses who fall, and there’s a high chance of leaving empty-handed,” another added.
Some pretended to be satisfied, but as they spoke, their envious glances betrayed them as they watched the chosen geniuses with qualifications to enter the Ancestral Land.
Su Nan arrived, with the Great Princess standing beside him.
“I heard there’s Demon Saint Essence Blood in the Ancestral Land. Do you know where it’s most likely to be?” Su Nan whispered.
In his previous foreknowledge attempts, he targeted the Heavenly Demon Inheritance and did not consider the Demon Saint Essence Blood as his focus.
Now about to enter the Ancestral Land, and with the task involving the theft of the Demon Saint Essence Blood entering its final phase, he could not afford to neglect it.
Passing the Heavenly Demon’s test might provide some rewards, but whether it includes Saint-level Blood Essence is uncertain.
“Demon Saint Essence Blood?” The Great Princess looked at Su Nan with puzzlement, not understanding why he would think of Demon Saint Essence Blood.
However, as before, she did not ask further and, after pondering, said:
“Many powerful individuals were buried in the Ancestral Land during the Ancient times, among them not a few of the Demon Saint level. But after tens of thousands of years, even if essence and blood remain, maintaining Emperor-level strength would be pretty good.”
“Over the past few centuries, indeed there have been a few individuals who have found Emperor-level essence and blood there. Saint-level essence and blood, however, has never been heard of.”
After a pause, she continued, “Most of that essence and blood was acquired within the Great Tombs deep inside the Ancestral Land. There are many Great Tombs in the Ancestral Land, so it’s not impossible that they might contain Saint-level essence and blood.”
All acquired from Great Tombs?
Su Nan nodded inwardly and couldn’t help but think of the Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful Demon that appeared at the end.
The strength of a Resentful Demon is directly related to its strength in life; such a demon, having Late-stage Emperor Grade strength even after death, my strength in life must have been extraordinarily powerful.
If there’s anywhere most likely to contain Saint-level essence and blood, the tomb of that Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful Demon certainly has the greatest possibility.
“If that tomb contains Saint-level essence and blood, there might indeed be a chance to acquire it.”
In his foreknowledge, as long as he temporarily boosted his luck, the Resentful Demon would chase after the other few individuals, which would be his opportunity.
With Across the Heavens Shift, he was quite confident that he could dig up all the skeletons in the tomb before the Resentful Demon realized what was happening.
But if he did that, he would inevitably attract all the resentment of the Resentful Demon.
“At present, I’ve achieved Perfection in the first type of bloodline for all three of my roles, and with the progress of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture, I wonder if I have the strength to contend with that Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful Demon?”
He was not fearful.
Previously, he had the strength to contend with a Mid-stage Emperor Grade. Now that his strength had improved, although he still fell far short of directly contending with a Late-stage Emperor Grade, if he wanted to escape, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Regrettably, his avatar was still in Tianjue Province; with its help, things would be even more straightforward.
Looking at the Heavenly Demon Hall, another idea came to Su Nan’s mind.
“Entering this Heavenly Demon Hall to pay homage provides a chance to absorb the power of the Patterns on the Stone Pillars, thus Awakening Bloodline Talents. I wonder if I use the Turn of Luck technique, could I also obtain the power from those carvings?”
He didn’t know what criteria the carvings used to select a person, but he was confident in his Turn of Luck technique.
He glanced at his foreknowledge.
Today he had thirty-two foreknowledge opportunities, allowing him to foresee the future for one and a half days,
“The upgrade of the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella should also begin now; it might come in handy when I enter the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.”
In his previous foreknowledge, he took out the Bone Umbrella in the Ancestral Land, resulting in an attack by a swarm of Resentful Demons, leading to his death.
This reinforced his belief in the extraordinary nature of the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella.
He had the premonition that perhaps on this expedition, he would have the chance to use the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella.
The foreknowledge began.
This time, exactly thirty foreknowledge opportunities were used up.
[You are about to enter the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, and you realize that the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella might be needed there. You decide to further enhance the power of the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella.]
[You control your avatar to pour one hundred and forty thousand drops of Mortal Grade Essence Blood on the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella. As the essence and blood replenishes it, strange Patterns emerge on the umbrella, but aside from that, there are no other changes.]
