Chapter 816: Chapter 426 Chasing Stars and Moons_2
Looking at the wide-open bronze gate, he said, “Alright, go in quickly.”
Upon hearing this, someone finally couldn’t restrain themselves anymore. Holding a jade plate, they rushed into the bronze gate first.
Seeing this, the others refused to be outdone and turned into a streak of light as they charged into the bronze gate.
“Brother Lang Wu, don’t forget our agreement,” Long Yuanmu said to Su Nan, and then he, along with Long Yunhan and several others, dashed into the bronze gate.
Su Nan did not rush to enter. Without making a sound, he activated his technique, depleting the qi luck of his three roles completely.
Instantly, he felt there was something different about himself, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.
“Let’s go in as well,” Su Nan said to the Great Princess and the other two.
This time, geniuses abounded in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge; there were many peak King-level geniuses, and the Great Princess had managed to enter the top ten.
Meanwhile, the Second Princess and Bai Yu only made it into the top twenty. They could still enter the Ancestral Land, but they lacked the opportunity to go deep within it.
“The Demon Clan Ancestral Land has opened!”
“Quick! Act now!”
At the base of Picking Stars Peak, Qian Yu and others who had been preparing quickly reacted, and Qian Yu immediately took out a stone talisman.
With bloodline power surging in, a light burst forth from the talisman, wrapping around the group standing together.
The next moment, with a flash of light, they disappeared from their original spot, silently entering the Ancestral Land.
[Congratulations, you have completed the Mainline Task “Stealing the Demon Saint Essence Blood” phase two. Would you like to claim your rewards now?]
Just as they successfully entered the Ancestral Land, the task completion notification popped up before their eyes.
“A four-star Mainline has been completed!”
Unlike the demon clan geniuses who entered the Ancestral Land through the bronze gate, they were not immediately teleported, but remained together.
At this moment, looking at the notification on the panel, even as prominent players from Dongchen State, they were filled with excitement.
At the same time, Su Nan received the same notification.
“Claim.”
[Congratulations, you have obtained a King-level Demon Sutra.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained King-level Essence Blood.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained 75 demon power points.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Technique Seed.]
He received a four-star level reward similar to Qian Yu and other players, but Su Nan’s four-star level rewards were truly of four-star quality.
The Demon Sutra and demon power weren’t much to look at; his usable demon power reached 320 points.
Su Nan flipped his hand over and took out the Technique Seed right away.
[Technique Seed: Chasing Stars and Moon. An Ancient powerhouse condensed this technique seed by comprehending the changing forces of the stars and the moon. Under the night sky, using it will increase your Speed tenfold for thirty minutes. If used outside the night sky, it will last ten minutes, and can be used once a day.]
“A speed-increasing technique? Barely passable.”
To be honest, this technique was somewhat superfluous for him. With his growing strength, there were very few who could force him to run.
Add to that his ability to foresee the future, and such situations were even less likely to happen.
However, he wasn’t disappointed. With his current strength, a common Technique Seed wouldn’t be of much help to him anyway.
The Chasing Stars and Moon technique would increase his speed tenfold, lasting between ten to thirty minutes, which was already quite impressive.
Keep in mind his speed was already extremely fast, and an increase by tenfold meant that he could escape anyone below the Saint level.
Without any intention to hold off, he used it immediately.
As the technique merged with him, a new technique appeared on the panel.
He then looked at the task of stealing Essence Blood.
[Mainline Task: Stealing the Demon Saint Essence Blood]
[Phase Three: Acquire a droplet of Saint-level Blood Essence from within the demon clan’s Ancestral Land and deliver it to the Great Yu Dynasty.]
[Task Difficulty: Four-star]
[Task Reward: King-level Demon Sutra, King-level bloodline, 75 demon power points, Divine Ability Seed]
The task remained at four stars, but the reward changed from a Technique Seed to a Divine Ability Seed.
“A Divine Ability Seed? That’s not bad,” Su Nan nodded to himself.
He didn’t pay further attention to the Mainline Task; he looked around him.
As expected, just like what he had foreseen, the moment he entered the Ancestral Land, the effect of Heavenly luck took place, and he appeared in that underwater relic.
He didn’t rush to look for the Baize’s Stone Statue; instead, he looked at the time displayed on the panel.
It was nearly Midnight in reality, and the game was about to refresh.
Su Nan immediately switched roles to Wang Nan, then to Zhang Yang.
Entering a new environment would inevitably refresh new tasks, and he wanted to see what Tasks would appear for Wang Nan from the Demon Race and Zhang Yang from the Human clan within the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.
Soon, the time reached Midnight, and the game refreshed.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt down an Emperor-level demon beast.]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
[Task Two: Hunt a demon beast]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
[Task Three: Find the lost Human Divine Weapon]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
“The lost Human Divine Weapon?”
“There’s a Human Divine Weapon in this Ancestral Land?”
Su Nan’s gaze fell on the third task, revealing surprise in his eyes.
However, since the task had been refreshed, there must definitely be a Divine Weapon here.
“This is going to be difficult, the Ancestral Land is so vast, where am I supposed to look for that Divine Weapon,” Su Nan shook his head.
If he could be told the approximate location of the Divine Weapon, he would have a way, but now without any clues, even he would find it difficult to locate anything.
What if that Divine Weapon had been brought into a grave by some Great Monster? Wouldn’t that mean he’d have to dig up all the graves?
“Perhaps I could try using the Heavenly Luck Technique, or the Incense Prayer Technique.”
Su Nan had an idea and instinctively looked towards his Celestial fortune.
Using Celestial fortune could trigger fortuitous encounters, indeed increasing his chances of obtaining the Divine Weapon, and the Incense Prayer Technique, being a panacea secret technique, was equally viable.
“I can try it in foreknowledge. If the Qi Luck or Incense fire aspiration force consumed isn’t much, it could be acceptable.” As thoughts whirled in his mind, he made his decision.
He then looked at Wang Nan’s tasks.
[Daily Task 1: Rescue a demon Beast]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
[Daily Task 2: Thunder Kill a Demonic Emperor]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
[Daily Task 3: Steal the Heavenly Demon Inheritance]
Task Difficulty: Four-star
Su Nan’s gaze instantly fell on the third task, the stealing of the Heavenly Demon Inheritance, and he shook his head inwardly.
“Another impossible mission.”
If the Heavenly Demon Inheritance were so easy to steal, it would have been stolen long ago.
Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Inheritance might very likely become Lang Thirteen’s task, and the tasks for the two roles were bound to conflict.
Role switch, he finally looked at Lang Thirteen’s tasks.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt three Outsiders who entered the Ancestral Land]
Task Difficulty: One-star
[Daily Task 2: Enter the Heavenly Demon inheritance site]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
[Daily Task 3: Pass the first trial of the Heavenly Demon]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
The Player had entered the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, and the corresponding tasks surfaced once again.
To Su Nan’s surprise, passing the first trial of the Heavenly Demon was only three stars, which seemed too low. If gauged by the difficulty of actual death in the test, it should be at least four stars.
After reviewing the tasks, Su Nan finally turned his gaze towards the underwater relic.
Over ten minutes later.
He arrived in front of the Stone Statue of Baize.
Feeling the aura of the Dragon Turtle on him, the Stone Statue opened its eyes and stared at Su Nan, asking, “Young one of the demon clan, why do you carry the aura of a Dragon Turtle?”
“Who might you be, senior?” Su Nan feigned surprise as he asked.
The Baize Stone Statue appeared to contemplate, and after a while finally spoke, “I am… Baize.”
Su Nan was startled, exclaiming in amazement, “Baize? Are you the Baize, one of the Twelve Auspicious Beasts of Ancient Times?”
“Ancient Times?” Baize seemed taken aback, and it was only then that he noticed the changes in Heaven and Earth, expressing with a sigh, “I did not expect that upon awakening, everything under heaven would have changed.”
Continuing, he stared at Su Nan and said, “Little one, you have yet to answer my earlier question.”
“I do not wish to conceal anything from you, senior. I had once encountered a Resentful demon that transformed from a dead Dragon Turtle…” Su Nan took out the Dragon Turtle and recounted the process of obtaining and hatching the Dragon Turtle Egg.
What followed unfolded just as foreseen.
Realizing that there was no other presence of the Auspicious Beast Baize between Heaven and Earth, and with its remnant soul on the verge of total dissolution, Baize decided to pass on some of its power to the Dragon Turtle.
Naturally, Su Nan was more than willing to agree.
Soon, Baize infused its power into the Dragon Turtle.
At the same time, a prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your Dragon Turtle has received the inheritance of the Ancient Auspicious Beast Baize. Your Qi Luck has grown, and you have obtained 500 points of Celestial fortune.]
