Chapter 814: 425
“[As you continued to pour your essence and blood, with a total of 140,000 drops of Spirit Grade Essence Blood, the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella vaguely showed other changes.]”
“[But upon close inspection, aside from discovering that the Divine Soul bred within the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella had fallen into a deep sleep, there were no other changes.]”
“The little umbrella has fallen into deep sleep?”
“Could it be that after replenishing enough strength, the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella is about to advance?” Su Nan couldn’t help but wonder.
Having fallen into a deep sleep after the substantial replenishment of essence blood, that was the only possibility he could think of, pity that foreknowledge didn’t give him any hints.
“[One hour later, your true body will enter the Heavenly Demon Hall, where you will have a chance to gain the power of the Heavenly Demon Hall and, thereby, awaken your Talent.]”
“[In order to obtain the assistance of the Heavenly Demon Hall’s power, you try to perform a technique of destiny manipulation, exchanging Qi Luck for temporary good fortune.]”
“[As you perform the destiny manipulation technique, you consume all 900 points of Qi Luck from three characters, and your luck reaches an unprecedented peak, yet, disappointingly, you do not gain the power from within the Heavenly Demon Hall.]”
“[Four hours later, after the worship is over, the entry to the Demon Clan Ancestral Land opens, and you enter the ancestral grounds along with other geniuses of the demon clan.]”
“[With the blessing of the destiny manipulation technique, upon entering the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, you are in good fortune. The Qi Luck takes effect, and under the dual influence of destiny manipulation and Qi Luck, you arrive at a strange place.]”
Seeing this, Su Nan’s eyes lit up: “Did the effects of destiny manipulation and Qi Luck stack up?”
The Life Wheel Scripture’s five abilities, Life Stealing and Stealing Heaven, need no mention. What follows are Heavenly luck, Fate Tribulation, and destiny manipulation, all related to Qi Luck.
Heavenly luck pertains to the manipulation of Celestial fortune, which can consume it to trigger adventures, and the more Celestial fortune one has, the easier it is to passively trigger good fortune.
Destiny manipulation pertains to the manipulation of Racial Luck, allowing active acquisition of good fortune, which is different. Su Nan had never thought that the effect of destiny manipulation could stack with that of Heavenly luck.
However, on second thought, this seems quite reasonable.
Destiny manipulation allowed him to obtain good fortune temporarily, and if his luck was good enough, it could endlessly amplify the occurrence of some low-probability events, while the passive effect of Heavenly luck fits precisely into this condition of being triggered.
“Last time, by performing destiny manipulation in foreknowledge, I obtained a drop of Demonic Emperor essence blood.”
“This time, with the double luck stacking, I wonder what kind of surprise it will bring me?” Su Nan revealed a hopeful expression.
“[You find yourself at the bottom of a lake, surrounded by water which envelops you, and at the bottom of the lake, you see a collapsed cluster of buildings.]”
“[You realize that there might be some opportunity in these submerged ruins, and you attempt to search within the collapsed remnants.]”
“[To your disappointment, after searching the entire relic, you didn’t find any opportunity, and just when you’re about to give up and leave, you faintly feel an invisible gaze upon you.]”
“[Following that gaze, a stone sculpture comes into view; it’s a sculpture with the body of a beast and the head of a dragon, and its eyes, unknown to you, had opened.]”
“[One hour later, you learn that within this stone sculpture lies a remnant soul of a Baize from Ancient Times that has passed away, awakened by the aura of the Dragon Turtle, who is also an Auspicious Beast like itself.]”
“[After a long time, the Baize remnant soul will completely dissipate. Sensing that there are no other Baize in this world, the remnant soul does not wish its power to fade away and decides to pass on part of the Baize’s power to your Dragon Turtle.]”
“The Auspicious Beast Baize!”
Su Nan’s eyes shone, somewhat surprised; he had not expected to find an Auspicious Beast within the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.
But then again, he felt a twinge of disappointment.
Clearly, this was an opportunity for the Dragon Turtle. The Baize wanted to pass on its remaining power to the Dragon Turtle, which wasn’t of much relevance to him.
Perhaps for other players, an entity like the Dragon Turtle would be their strongest trump card, and the Dragon Turtle’s gaining of inheritance could greatly assist a player, perhaps even allowing them to soar to great heights.
But for Su Nan, the little guy was merely a mascot, at best it could only increase his Celestial fortune.
No matter how powerful the little guy could become with the Baize inheritance, how could it be stronger than him?
“Forget it, just hoping this time the little guy’s realm can improve,” Su Nan thought.
“If the little guy can break through to King Level because of this, the Mainline Task of the Dragon Turtle’s legacy can be completely fulfilled, and I will also receive rewards.”
After the moment of disappointment, Su Nan set his sights on the task at hand.
He continued to read on, yet, the following information brightened his eyes once again.
[Six hours later, the remnant soul of Baize passed its strength on to the Dragon Turtle, and as the inheritance concluded, the Dragon Turtle fell into a deep sleep, its aura slowly increasing.]
[At the same time, Baize’s stone statue shattered, and to your surprise, you discovered a drop of King-level Baize essence and blood still within the fragments of the statue.]
“King-level Baize essence blood!” Su Nan’s heart lifted with joy.
That’s more like it, with the powers of Heavenly luck and Shifting Fortune, it would be unreasonable if he only received an inheritance that might not be useful to him.
King-level essence blood was exactly what he could use.
However, his brow furrowed immediately after, as Auspicious Beasts were not demons, and they cultivated not the Demon Sutra but breathing techniques. Without the Demon Sutra, he couldn’t merge with the essence blood.
So, what use was that essence blood to him?
Frowning, Su Nan eventually pinned his hopes on the Dragon Turtle: “Hopefully, the little guy has received the corresponding breathing technique in its inheritance.”
[After leaving the lake, you explored the Ancestral Land, and ten hours later, you encountered two Outsiders.]
[Fourteen hours later, you met up again with the Great Princess, and with your help, the Great Princess obtained a drop of Emperor-level essence blood left by a powerful person from the Ancient Skywolf Clan.]
[Twenty hours later, you arrived at the deepest part of the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and joined forces with several other demon clan geniuses.]
[One day later, you and the other demon clan geniuses were attacked by a Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful Demon. Thanks to the Art of Shifting Fortune, the Resentful Demon did not fixate on you.]
[In your view, beneath the grave where the Resentful Demon resided, there might be a remnant of Saint-level essence blood. While the Resentful Demon was preoccupied with the other geniuses, you quickly made your way to the Great Tomb of the Resentful Demon.]
[You struck with all your might, blasting open the Great Tomb of the Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful Demon, revealing a huge skeleton that came into your view.]
[Without a moment to spare, you immediately used Universe in the Sleeve to collect the skeleton and then continuously employed Across the Heavens Shift to escape towards the Stone Hall of the Heavenly Demon Inheritance.]
[The Resentful Demon, in a rage, pursued you. However, your formidable strength allowed you to enter the Stone Hall without incident before the Resentful Demon caught up, successfully shaking it off.]
[The moment you entered the Stone Hall, you fell into a deep sleep and entered the trial of the Heavenly Demon. When you awoke again, you had taken the form of a young Heavenly Demon.]
[You knew that to fulfill the Heavenly Demon’s dying wish, you had to lead the tribe members away to safety a hundred miles away as quickly as possible.]
[You immediately prevented three children from heading towards the stream, then returned to the tribe and informed the chieftain about what would happen the next day.]
[After going back to check the situation at the stream, the chieftain believed your words, and after some discussions, decided to lead the tribe away using the route you provided.]
[One and a half days later, after a harrowing journey, you arrived fifty miles away. Luckily, when you passed through the territory of the first Fierce Beast, it did not target you.]
[But when you passed through the territory of the second Fierce Beast, you encountered danger.]
[A minute later, you suddenly saw a large number of wild beasts appearing around you, which attacked your group, forcing you to fight and slay them.]
[Two minutes later, a significant number of the wild beasts were killed by your party, but at the same time, many tribe members died tragically at the paws of the beasts.]
[Three minutes later, you failed to pass the test, and you died.]
[Before dying, you saw that the wild beasts your group had slain transformed, taking on the appearance of your tribe members.]
The End of foreknowledge, the final outcome was unexpectedly unexpected.
“The tribe members turned into beasts?”
“Was it an illusion technique?”
Su Nan’s expression darkened slightly; he had anticipated dying to a Fierce Beast, but he hadn’t expected to fail due to fratricide.
That wasn’t what truly concerned him; what caused his heart to sink was that he could now be certain that he couldn’t open his Personal Space during the trial!
“I didn’t take out anything mine in the foreknowledge, and the result is quite clear now,” he reflected.
Su Nan’s brows furrowed deep. Not being able to utilize foreknowledge in the dreamscape undoubtedly added to the difficulty of passing the trial.
To pass the trial, he had to find a way to clear it successfully before entering the dreamscape.
