I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 486
Chapter 486: Chapter 264 Forbidden Lands Everywhere_2
Right now, the secret technique used by the woman is not the Bloodline Servant Imprint, but merely a similar technique.
However, he suspects that this secret technique was created based on the Bloodline Servant Imprint.
At the beginning, when he was purchasing the Bloodline Servant Imprint in Tiangong Pavilion, the Pavilion had tried to sell him a similar secret technique. Seeing the woman’s persistence, Su Nan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said: “Fine, if you really insist, then follow me.”
With that, he accepted the woman’s Blood Imprint.
Although he would not describe himself as a great villain, he wasn’t a good person either. Since the woman had already entrusted him with her life and death, he had no reason not to accept it.
Moreover, taking the woman with him would inevitably provoke the so-called Ma family, even though they were nothing more than clowns in his eyes.
After accepting the woman’s Blood Imprint, Su Nan instantly felt that he had control over her life and death, which was similar to the feeling of using the Bloodline Servant Imprint.
“Thank you, Young Master, for taking me in.”
Seeing Su Nan accept her Blood Imprint, the woman’s eyes first showed a hint of sadness, as if resenting her own fate, then soon after, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about how she would become this man’s maidservant, and the duties of a maidservant, the woman’s face turned slightly red.
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief, believing that as long as they stayed with Su Nan, they would be safe.
“Young Master, where are we going now?” The woman asked.
Su Nan looked at the sky.
This space was different from the ones he entered before, not only having a complete ecosystem but also having the existence of the sun and moon!
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and its afterglow bathed the land. On the other side, a bright moon was already faintly visible.
In reality, it was the exact opposite: the sun was just rising, and a new day was beginning.
“Let’s find a place to rest first.”
He had not slept all night and needed to rest, and the woman and the old man were also weary after traveling all night.
The woman said, “Young Master, twenty miles to the west from here is the county town of Whitehorse County.”
“Then let’s go there.”
The old man immediately pulled the carriage over and respectfully said, “Young Master, please get in the carriage.”
Su Nan did not refuse.
As he got into the carriage, he looked back once again at the so-called Death Desert.
There must have been a reason why Du Qiyuan had specifically altered the desert.
He believed that there were definitely secrets hidden beneath this desert.
“The desert has the power to turn people to sand. I can turn into a bird and fly over the desert, but to explore its secrets, I need to come into direct contact with it.”
“My main body definitely cannot enter the desert directly; I can only try with an avatar.”
Based on his previous speculation, this desert should only be able to transform flesh and blood entities into sand. His avatar appeared to be made of flesh and blood, but it was actually a condensed form of technique strength, which could resist the power of sandification.
He could infer this from the first foreknowledge he had about entering the Land of the Lost.
At that time, his main body had died due to being turned to sand. However, right before his death, his avatar had shown no problems.
“Currently, my avatar is monitoring the Demon King in reality, so I cannot use it in the game world. I can only wait until I have completely taken control of that female Demon King before using my avatar to explore the desert.”
Su Nan got into the carriage and left the place.
The path was bumpy, and the carriage was not moving very fast.
On the way, Su Nan asked about the details of this world.
The woman’s name was Chen Ying, and the old man was Chen De. They were both from the Chen family.
As it turned out, just a year ago, Chen Ying’s father, the Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Daohai, was invited by a friend to visit the Ancient God Tomb. A month later, Chen Daohai suddenly returned, bringing back an Ancient Divine Key. However, he left in a rush.
Ever since then, there was no more news of him. The Chen family had sent out a large number of people to search for him, but to no avail.
As the Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Daohai’s strength was the strongest in the entire family, reaching the Spirit Level Peak.
The disappearance of such a powerful person dealt a heavy blow to the Chen family.
If that had been all, what happened later might not have occurred.
However, for some reason, the Ma family found out about the Chen family’s discovery of the Ancient Divine Key.
The disappearance of the Chen Family’s Patriarch and the Ancient Divine Key, combined with the longstanding conflict with the Ma family, led to the attack on the Chen family two days ago.
“As for what exactly is inside the Ancient God Tomb, I’m afraid only the Daxuan Royal Family and the Five Great Families know, because to enter the Ancient God Tomb, one needs nine keys. In the past, all nine keys were in the hands of the Daxuan Royal Family and the Five Great Families.”
“It wasn’t until more than a hundred years ago when the powerful Du Qiyuan and the Five Great Families entered the Ancient God Tomb together, that the Daxuan Royal Family and the Five Great Families couldn’t enter the tomb anymore because one of the keys held by the Daxuan Royal Family was lost.”
“I never thought that after so many years, the key was found by my father, but unfortunately…”
Chen Ying’s eyes were filled with sadness.
Su Nan’s attention, however, was not on the origin of the Ancient Divine Key.
“Du Qiyuan! Du Qiyuan again!”
“What exactly did he do in this world?”
Du Qiyuan entered the Death Desert, which became a Forbidden Land, and no one could successfully arrive there for more than a hundred years.
After entering the Ancient God Tomb, one of the keys to the tomb was lost, and no one could enter for more than a hundred years.
If this was just a coincidence, Su Nan wouldn’t believe it.
“Didn’t Du Qiyuan also go to two other Forbidden Lands? Were there any changes to those two places afterwards?” Su Nan asked.
Chen Ying shook her head and said, “Young Master, it was only a rumor that Du Qiyuan entered the four Forbidden Lands a hundred years ago. As for whether he actually went in or not, I’m afraid only he knew.”
“The other two Forbidden Lands are Black Demon Lake and Resentful Dragon Mountain. The lake in Black Demon Lake contains a mysterious power called Demonic Qi, and anyone who tries to enter it would be corroded by the Demonic Qi in the water, eventually losing control.”
“As for Resentful Dragon Mountain, it is said that a Divine Dragon is buried there, and the entire mountain range is shrouded in resentment from the dragon after its death. Anyone who tries to approach Resentful Dragon Mountain would die inexplicably.”
“Even the King-level Powerhouses in legends have difficulty approaching these two places, and I suspect that Du Qiyuan never really entered them.”
At this moment, Chen Ying had fully assumed the role of a servant girl, even changing her self-reference to ‘this servant girl.’
Su Nan didn’t mind, his attention was immediately attracted by the information in Chen Ying’s words.
“Black Demon Lake! There’s Demonic Qi here too?”
He came here to find a solution to the Demonic Qi’s corrosion, so he was naturally more sensitive to anything related to demon beasts.
He strongly suspected that there was something related to demon beasts beneath the Black Demon Lake.
Even the possibility of a demon beast being suppressed there couldn’t be ruled out.
In comparison, the so-called Resentful Dragon Mountain didn’t catch his attention.
Chen Ying knew very little about Resentful Dragon Mountain. However, Su Nan had a pretty good idea of what it was all about.
If his guess was correct, Resentful Dragon Mountain should be somewhat similar to Dragon Burial River in Tianyun County.
In his quest to find a place with a high concentration of the Water Power to hatch the Dragon Turtle, he had learned about several such locations in Tianyun County from Tiangong Pavilion.
The first of these was Dragon Burial River.
The Dragon Burial River was formed by the resentment of a fallen dragon, which turned into resentful demons that would kill anyone who approached it. Resentful Dragon Mountain here was clearly very similar to the Dragon Burial River in question.
“Among the four Forbidden Lands, it’s certain that Du Qiyuan entered the Death Desert and the Ancient God Tomb.”
Su Nan looked at the Ancient Divine Key carved from stone in his hand, and made a decision in his heart.
No matter what, both of these places were worth a visit for him.
As if seeing through Su Nan’s intentions, Chen Ying’s eyes revealed barely perceptible anticipation, “Young Master, do you plan to go to the Ancient God Tomb?”
She naturally hoped that Su Nan could go to the Ancient God Tomb, so she could take the opportunity to find her father.
Su Nan could see through her thoughts easily and said, “There’s no hurry for the Ancient God Tomb. I’ll deal with the other keys first.”
As Chen Ying’s father didn’t have an Ancient Divine Key, he couldn’t enter the real Ancient God Tomb and could only explore the periphery of it.
Su Nan wouldn’t settle for just exploring the periphery. If he were to go, he would enter the inner part of the Ancient God Tomb, which meant that he must gather all nine Ancient Divine Keys.
This process would inevitably involve dealing with the Daxuan Royal Family and the Five Great Families.
“Get the other keys? Young Master, do you plan to…” Chen Ying was alarmed. The Five Great Families and the Daxuan Royal Family were high above others, with countless Xuan Level Experts, and simply not someone else could contend with.
Her own master actually wanted to get their hands on those keys. Could it be that he had the strength to confront the Five Great Families?
Chen Ying couldn’t help but wonder, and her eyes flashed with intrigue as she thought about it.
Su Nan didn’t elaborate further and continued asking, “Among those who entered here in the past, all had bloodlines on the verge of losing control.. Do you know if any of them found a solution?”
