I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 599

Chapter 599: Chapter 320: Lord of the Star Palace

“In the end, he chose to become a demon beast, huh?”

Su Nan sighed quietly.

Du Qiyuan’s decision was not good news for him. If Du Qiyuan had chosen other methods to deal with the demonic qi erosion, it would have meant that there were other ways to solve the problem besides becoming a demon beast.

But now, his last hope was undoubtedly cut off.

[You tell Du Qiyuan that you were exploring the desert when, unknowingly, you triggered something, and a mysterious entrance appeared in front of you. Following the entrance, you arrived here.]

[Du Qiyuan does not believe your words and doesn’t give you a chance to continue explaining. Suddenly, he attacks you. You know that becoming a demon beast has greatly changed Du Qiyuan’s personality, and the only way to gain his trust is to disclose some information.]

[You tell Du Qiyuan that you know the secret of this relic and that there used to be a group of beings guarding this world here, and that this place is related to the Ancient God Tomb.]

[Surprised by your words, Du Qiyuan stops attacking and asks you how you know this, forcing you to lie that you read it in an ancient book.]

[Du Qiyuan asks you what else you know, and you tell him that you also know how to escape the Ancient God Tomb Illusion. Du Qiyuan, now interested, tells you that as long as you tell him the method, he will spare your life.]

[You tell Du Qiyuan the method of escaping the Illusion by forgetting memories. After hearing your words, Du Qiyuan falls into deep thought.]

[After a while, Du Qiyuan seems to think of something, and you hear him muttering to himself. You listen carefully and hear him mention the two words “cause and effect.”]

“Cause and effect? What does that mean?”

Su Nan was taken aback for a moment, and he thought of many possibilities.

Could it be that the power of the Ancient God Tomb is related to cause and effect?

Or perhaps the Ancient God Tomb’s Illusion is not generated based on memories but on cause and effect?

Su Nan’s thoughts raced as he connected the methods provided by the five major families with the Art of Oblivion. He found that the Ancient God Tomb’s Illusion seemed to have a potential connection with cause and effect.

“If it really is related to cause and effect, then the question arises: how can one escape the Illusion through cause and effect?”

“Could it be like erasing memories, erasing all related cause and effect?”

Su Nan frowned, realizing that even if he knew that the Ancient God Tomb’s Illusion was related to cause and effect, he seemed to have no means to change it.

“How did Du Qiyuan enter the Ancient God Tomb? Does he have a secret technique related to cause and effect?”

[Du Qiyuan keeps his promise and does not attack you again. However, he does not intend to let you go either. He injects a trace of demonic qi into your body and tells you that you cannot go anywhere without his command.]

[Two hours later, Du Qiyuan leaves the relic, and you finally have the opportunity to explore it. To your disappointment, you find that by this point, the relic has already been destroyed and there is nothing valuable left.]

[After three hours, your avatar in the Daxuan Royal Palace begins the fourth Blood Sacrifice Ritual. Although more of your spirit, energy, and mind strength are devoured this time, there are no unexpected events.]

[Four hours later, you plan to control your avatar to explore the basement where the mysterious powerful being is imprisoned in the Daxuan Royal Palace.]

[You use the Across the Heavens Shift technique without alerting anyone and quietly enter the hallway beneath the Side Palace. Passing through the hallway, you come to a stone door, and you know that an emperor-level powerhouse is behind it.]

[Taking out the Life and Death Silver Mirror Fragment, you prepare to use the Life and Death Mirror to deal with the emperor-level powerhouse. The moment you take out the Mirror, you notice that besides yourself, a second blurry figure appears in the mirror.]

[You operate the Life Wheel Scripture, attempting to activate the Life and Death Silver Mirror. The moment the mirror is activated, a deep roar suddenly erupts from behind the stone door.]

[The next instant, the powerful beings in the Great Temple are alerted, and a powerful force descends upon your avatar, killing it before it can react. Turning into the origin of the technique, it returns to your body.]

“What just happened?”

“Did I accidentally alert the Offering God Demons? Could it be that the being behind that stone door is somehow related to them?”

Su Nan suddenly thought of a possibility, but his avatar was killed, leaving no further information, so he didn’t know if the being behind the door was dead or not.

“It seems I’ll have to put this task aside for now. Hopefully, after obtaining the position of Great King of Daxuan Kingdom, I can learn some relevant information.”

[Ten hours later, in the Ancient God Tomb Illusion, Du Qiyuan finally returns, and you are taken out of the relic by him. Under Du Qiyuan’s arrangement, you are treated as forced labor, digging at a designated location in the sand sea.]

[After digging for thirty minutes, you excavate a 100-meter deep pit, and you see Du Qiyuan place an object similar to an array disk at the bottom of the pit, then bury it once again.]

[When the pit is covered up again, and under Du Qiyuan’s command, you move to another location to continue digging. You understand that Du Qiyuan is setting up a formation.]

“Setting up a formation?”

“Am I that lucky this time?”

Overjoyed, Su Nan thought about his previous concern about how to obtain the method of breaking the formation from Du Qiyuan. Now, all he needed to know was where Du Qiyuan had buried the array disks, so he could find and destroy them directly.

[Twelve hours later, under Du Qiyuan’s coercion, you have dug three deep pits.]

[Sixteen hours later, night falls, and you have dug ten deep pits.]

[Twenty hours later, you have dug sixteen deep pits.]
