At this time, the Great Princess noticed a deep pit not far away, her face showing curiosity.
Su Nan said, “There is a living ancient fierce beast in that pit.”
Upon hearing this, the Great Princess froze for a moment, and then her face changed slightly, “An ancient fierce beast? How is that possible? How could there be a living ancient fierce beast in this world?”
Even as a Peak King-level figure who had seen and experienced much, the Great Princess still seemed shocked when she heard about the living fierce
beast.
If she didn’t know that Su Nan possessed an avatar capable of exploring the situation below, she would never have believed it was true.
After briefly discussing the situation, Su Nan took out the incense burner.
What followed was relatively simple.
just like the day before, with the help of the Great Princess, Su Nan entered the incense burner and killed the Offering God Demon.
As he had previously thought, although he absorbed a considerable amount of Power of the Divine Soul from the Offering God Demon this time, the boost was not that significant, and paled in comparison to his first attempt.
However, after the Offering God Demon was resurrected this time, its strength dropped further, directly falling out of the King-level and only reaching the peak of the Xuan-level.
With the decline of the Offering God Demon’s strength, Su Nan’s control over the incense burner further increased.
Now, he could actively initiate the incense burner and summon the space it condensed.
-If I continue like this, perhaps I will only need to kill the Offering God Demon once or twice more to completely refine this incense burner.
Anticipation filled Su Nan’s eyes.
The incense burner was merely a vessel for the incense, and it needed to be placed in a place with abundant incense to function, which was presently of no use to Su Nan.
However, once he successfully refined the incense burner, he would acquire the “Divine Dao Wishspirit Cohesion Method,” which would help him understand his own Spirit of Divine Dao.
Su Nan released his avatar and said to the Great Princess, “This ancient city is very dangerous, I need to investigate the situation here first.”
As he spoke, he appeared to control his avatar to move forward while actually looking at the prediction on the panel.
[You know that there are many ancient temples and divine palaces in this ancient city, and you want to obtain the divine seals in these ancient temples and divine palaces to increase your own divine seals.]
[Your main body follows behind your avatar, controlling it to go in the southwest direction.]
[A minute later, you haven’t discovered anything.]
[Two minutes later, you haven’t encountered any danger.]
[Three minutes later, you come across a huge temple.]
[End of first prediction, do you want to continue?]
“Continue!”
just like the previous explorations, Su Nan could freely enter the ancient temples in the city because of his “inheritor” status. Unfortunately, all the divine seals in these ancient temples were gone!
From the moment they entered the ancient city up to now, only the divine seal in the ancient temple they first encountered was still there. Su Nan couldn’t help but wonder if his luck was good or bad.
He wondered what was going on.
Not until the fifth-time prediction did he receive a hint.
[You don’t know that there was once another inheritor who entered here and
took away most of the divine seals.]
“Another inheritor?”
■■Could it be that the Emperor Xuanhuang of the Daxuan Dynasty took them away?”
Instantly, Su Nan thought of a possibility.
In this era, only he had condensed divine seals, so it was impossible for anyone else to take them away.
Before that, only the Daxuan Dynasty practiced the Fragrant Fire Spiritual
Path.
-I remember that when I first learned about the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path, the prediction mentioned that Emperor Xuanhuang’s Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path was incomplete and was obtained from a forbidden land.”
-It seems that the forbidden land should be the Divine Ruins.”
Su Nan suddenly realized what was going on.
Fortunately, the prediction also mentioned that most of the divine seals were taken away, which meant that there should still be a small portion of the divine
seals left.
As the prediction continued, his luck appeared to improve. As he explored the thirteenth ancient temple, he finally found another ancient temple with divine seals still intact.
Unfortunately, the trial in this temple was even more challenging than the first one, reaching the mid-stage King-level realm. In the end, he failed.
The prediction continued.
By the fourteenth prediction, he came across another ancient temple with divine seals. The trial this time was at the early King-level stage, but he still failed.
There was no way, without using his Racial Talent, the gap between him and the King-level was enormous.
And on the sixteenth foreknowledge, something that bothered him happened. [You control your avatar to continue walking forward, suddenly, four figures appear in your line of sight. In an instant, you recognize them as the White Water Demon King and the other three Demon Kings.]
[The four Demon Kings look haggard and dispirited. Clearly, they have paid a significant price to enter the ancient city.]
[The four Demon Kings know you are here, head straight for you, and go all-out to blast you to death.]
[Knowing that you are not a match for the four Demon Kings, you use Across the Heavens Shift to escape at the crucial moment.]
“The White Water Demon King will arrive in half an hour!
Su Nan’s expression became solemn. Even the White Water Demon King alone was not something he could deal with now, let alone the four of them together.
Even if the four of them were in a bad state, it was still the case that a malnourished camel is still bigger than a horse, and they were not something he could handle.
“Half an hour is not too urgent.”
Half an hour was enough for him to explore the entire ancient city two or three times.
If he could find Zhou Lingyin, what was there to worry about with the four Demon Kings?
Time passed quickly during foreknowledge.
In just five or six minutes in reality, Su Nan and his avatar had explored the entire ancient city in the foreknowledge!
Thirty-six ancient temples, twelve temples, not a single one less, all visited
once.
The result displeased him.
Only six of the ancient temples and temples that had divine seals.
Only one of the ancient temples could he pass the test.
And the reward was merely a second-grade Divine Seal.
“If I can only get one Divine Seal, does that mean I can only complete one task today?” Su Nan’s face turned ugly.
As for the tasks of the three Roles, besides “Find Zhou Lingyin”, “Explore Divine Ruins”, and “Escape Divine Ruins”, today’s refreshed tasks were either to hunt Demon Kings or to obtain Divine Seals.
If the four Demon Kings were separated, he could plot something. But with the four Demon Kings together, he had no chance at all. During his foray into foreknowledge, he also tried to lure the four Demon Kings into the ancient temples, but none of them fell for it.
As such, it was impossible to kill several Demon Kings.
That wasn’t the main issue.
What bothered him most was that he had searched the entire ancient city and couldn’t find Zhou Lingyin. He also couldn’t locate the Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus!
“It shouldn’t be. I’ve been through the entire ancient city. If Zhou Lingyin is here, I should be able to find her.”
“Could it be that Zhou Lingyin is not in this ancient city?”
Divine Ruins were vast, and he had headed straight for the depths of Divine Ruins. If all of his worries were misplaced and Zhou Lingyin wasn’t in the deepest part of Divine Ruins, then his efforts would have been in vain.
Su Nan looked at the Great Princess and asked, “Princess, when you guys were chasing the Demon Emperor’s sarcophagus into the Divine Ruins, do you know where it ended up?”
The Great Princess shook her head, “That sarcophagus definitely entered the depths of the Divine Ruins, but nobody knows exactly where.”
“Nobody knows?” Su Nan sighed silently.
The Divine Ruins were vast, and without a specific location, finding a person in there would be extremely difficult.
“Before, as my connection to the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path deepened, the ancient city was filled with a golden light. Where did that come from?” he thought of another question.
Unable to find Zhou Lingyin, the Demon Emperor’s coffin, or even the location from where the golden light appeared, something seemed amiss.
-No, there must be something I’ve overlooked!” Su Nan murmured. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the abyss-like deep pit not far away. Recalling his previous speculation, he thought of a possibility.
“Is the problem with the Fierce Beast?”
-Every time the avatar gets sucked into the mouth of the Fierce Beast, it only loses contact without dying. Could there be an independent space within the belly of the Fierce Beast?”
Su Nan’s heart stirred, and his eyes lit up.
This possibility was not impossible. After all, it was an ancient fierce beast, and the specific incredible abilities it possessed were not something he could imagine.
-No matter if it is or not, I need to figure out a way to get inside the Fierce Beast and take a look first.”
Su Nan came up with a daring idea..
