I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 802: Chapter 419 Unknown Regret_2

“Lord Heavenly Demon’s mentor was not an ordinary person but an elder of a powerful influence known as the Yao Court—an emperor-level powerhouse. At that time, he was one of the few powerful figures among the demon clan.”

“After the Lord Heavenly Demon was brought to the Yao Court, he devoted himself to cultivation under that elder. However, in his twenties, the elder was ambushed while trying to help the Lord Heavenly Demon obtain a spirit object.”

“Eventually, in that great battle, the Lord Heavenly Demon’s mentor was gravely injured and fell victim to a nefarious plot, poisoned by an incurable toxin, leading to his demise and his Dao vanishing into oblivion.”

“And the second regret of Lord Heavenly Demon is finding the cure for the poison.”

Cure for the poison?

Su Nan frowned; even without entering the trial, he could sense its difficulty.

A poison that could lead to the demise of an emperor-level powerhouse was certainly not simple. Putting aside whether there was a cure, even if there was, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain.

His gaze turned towards the others as he intended to inquire about the cure.

Seeing his intent, Xing Yi, however, shook his head and said,

“We know very little about this trial. Indeed, more than one person has passed this trial before, but those people did not wish to stop there and chose to go on.”

“As a result, those people all died, and the method to pass the trial was never revealed.”

“You guys don’t know the cure for the poison either?” Su Nan looked at them deeply with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The others met Su Nan’s gaze head-on, neither admitting nor denying.

Seeing their reaction, Su Nan understood.

Obviously, they had all made some preparations, but perhaps each person’s preparations were different. Under such circumstances, their own preparations became their aces up their sleeves.

Who would easily reveal their trump card?

Not getting the information he wanted, Su Nan did not dwell on it and continued, “Then what’s the third trial?”

“As for the third trial, we know even less, and we cannot even be sure what exactly Lord Heavenly Demon’s regret was, as everyone who has entered the third trial has died.”

“What we do know is based on the speculations of our predecessors. According to the information some managed to glean from ancient books, there are two most likely possibilities for the third trial.”

“One possibility is that it’s related to something Lord Heavenly Demon discovered when he broke through to emperor-level.”

“Some have found hints in ancient texts that a major event occurred when Lord Heavenly Demon made his breakthrough, something that had a profound influence on him.”

“The second possibility is that it’s related to something that happened when Lord Heavenly Demon tried to break through to Saint Level, which again, we do not know.”

Upon hearing this, Su Nan’s heart sank: “You mean to say that we cannot even confirm what the regret is?”

For the first two trials, even knowing what the regret is doesn’t guarantee one can pass the trial.

Now, for the third trial, not even knowing what the regret is, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous and mysterious one. Going in blind might mean not even knowing how one dies.

“I wonder if my ‘foreseeing the future’ will still work in the trial?”

Su Nan was somewhat concerned.

The situation with the Heavenly Demon Inheritance was different from last time’s Ancient God Tomb.

The Illusion Realm of the Ancient God Tomb seemed to involve the powers of time and space, and each time, one’s true body entered.

The trial of the Heavenly Demon takes the form of a dream, but can he use ‘foreseeing the future’ in a dream?

The likelihood seems slim.

“Maybe I can try it out.”

“‘Foreseeing the future’ relies on the game interface. If I can trigger abilities related to the game interface in the dream, then it indicates that ‘foreseeing the future’ is also very likely to be usable.”

With a thought, Su Nan came up with an idea.

If he can use the items from his Personal Space in the dream, it would undoubtedly tell him that he can foresee in the dreamscape.

If not, so be it.

If so, then the difficulty of this Heavenly Demon trial would doubtless plummet for him!

Seeing Su Nan deep in thought, and perhaps with good intentions, Long Yunhan said, “Brother Lang Wu, with your strength, there’s no need to fixate on the Heavenly Demon Inheritance.”

He Wushuang nodded and said, “The Heavenly Demon Inheritance is indeed precious, but one must be alive to claim it. With the Heavenly Demon’s three trials, as long you can pass one, you’ll receive a generous reward, making the trip worthwhile. Just don’t act rashly when the time comes.”

“Thank you both for your kindness,” Su Nan came back to his senses and smiled.

Unable to glean more information, he no longer pressed the matter and bid farewell to the group before turning to leave.

It must be said, this journey brought significant gains.

If he didn’t know this information, even with his ability to foresee the future, he would have undoubtedly needed a significant number of foreknowledge opportunities to predict this information.

If luck wasn’t on his side, he might not even pass the first trial.

“These guys must have omitted some details from me, but no matter, now that I have this information, predicting again will definitely reveal more,” he mused.

Watching him leave, once his figure vanished, Long Yunhan and the others exchanged glances, a barely noticeable smile flashing in their eyes.

The information they told Su Nan was accurate; they just omitted some parts.

For instance, the first regret wasn’t so simple as just ensuring the tribe where the Heavenly Demon resided wasn’t exterminated.

They also needed to maintain the population of the tribe, and if the number of tribespeople who died along the way exceeded one-tenth, the trial would be deemed a failure.

And the second regret was not merely about curing the Heavenly Demon’s poisoned master.

…

In Tianjue Province, the avatar was still proceeding with the plan, heading to Tianjue to buy the Demon Sutra and information about the locations of suppressed demonic beasts.

Looking at the time, Su Nan exited the game.

There were still three days left before the matter of the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, so there was no hurry; at present, he needed to resolve the issue with the Heavenly Race.

Picking up his phone to log into the forum, he planned to find and trigger the Mainline Task for hunting demonic beasts, just as he had previously thought.

“What on earth did Deity Wang Nan do? How could his Qi Luck surge so much?”

“Deity Wang Nan, please advise, how can one obtain a large amount of Qi Luck?”

As soon as he entered the forum, Su Nan saw a series of posts about him.

Clearly, the rapid growth of his Qi Luck had startled all the players.

“It’s a bit too high-profile,” Su Nan couldn’t help shaking his head.

There was no helping it, with the Ranking List being public, he couldn’t conceal it even if he wanted to, and he still had to obtain Qi Luck.

Now, most players’ Qi Luck was only around one or two hundred, and even top players had only around three or four hundred.

Yet Wang Nan’s Qi Luck was already at an astonishing four thousand!

What does that signify? Many emperor-level powerhouses don’t have that much Qi Luck!

On the Demon Race Luck Ranking List, Wang Nan’s position had long soared to more than three hundred.

A rank in the top three hundred of a race was nothing short of shocking, especially for the Demon Race, which was feared by all.

Now, those ranked above him were mostly ancient demonic beasts that had survived from Ancient Times, with their strength at the late emperor grade or the peak emperor level.

Ignoring these posts, Su Nan directly went to the Tianjue Province section of the forum and started searching for the Mainline related to demonic beasts using keywords.

Posts refreshed, and soon, a post caught his attention.

“Lingxin Palace, Zihuang Valley, and Shenxue Gate have issued demon elimination tasks. All disciples from these three sects are eligible to obtain demon elimination tasks from the Task Grand Hall.”

Had the three great Human influences of Tianjue Province issued a demon elimination task?

Clicking on the post, after a moment, Su Nan’s eyes lit up with sharpness, without a doubt, this was the task he was searching for.

The demon elimination task was specially released for players by the three sects. The three influences hadn’t put up any rewards, but once players accepted it, they would receive a Mainline Task.

However, the targets of this task were the disciples of the three forces.

“I wonder if I can obtain the task by using Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations to blend in?” Su Nan decided to give it a try.

He continued to scroll further down.

Suddenly, another post caught his eye.

It was a bounty post with a reward for slaying a demonic beast.

Such posts were numerous on the forum; many people who encountered tasks they couldn’t complete and didn’t want to give up would resort to this method.

Su Nan had also taken on such tasks before. His Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng had been acquired this way.

Normally, he wouldn’t pay any attention to such posts and wouldn’t even give them a second glance.

The reason was simple: they couldn’t offer a reward that intrigued him.

This time was different, because what the other party offered was something that even he found tempting.
