Chapter 821: Chapter 429 The Test Begins
“Brother Lang Wu, you’ve finally arrived.”
In the ancestral land, Su Nan, accompanied by the Great Princess, entered deep into the ancestral land and eventually encountered Long Yunhan, Long Yuanmu, and others.
By now, seven or eight hours had passed since they entered the ancestral land.
During this process, Su Nan dug up many great tombs and ultimately was not disappointed, as he indeed found two drops of ancient demon essence blood, although there was no Emperor-level essence blood.
“The closer the tombs are to the periphery of the ancestral land, the later they were buried, and the greater the likelihood that essence blood might still be preserved in them.”
“On the contrary, the deeper into the ancestral land, the earlier those tombs date back, with some even tracing to the middle to early Ancient Times, and the smaller the chance that any essence blood remains.”
After digging up more than a dozen great tombs without any findings, Su Nan eventually gave up excavating.
Compared to obtaining essence blood, capturing resentful demons was going smoothly.
At this point in his Cosmic Ring, he had already imprisoned a full eight early stage Emperor-level resentful demons, which was sufficient for the short term.
“There is a limited number of Follower Gods that can be consecrated by the Supreme Divine Soil and the grade of the Divine Seal has an effect, so right now I can only consecrate eight Follower Gods.”
“Moreover, crafting Paper Puppet Demons consumes a significant amount of incense fire aspiration force, and to refine eight Emperor-level Paper Puppet Demons, even if I exhaust all my current incense fire aspiration force, it is still unknown whether it will be enough.”
“However, at present, my Incense Fire Power is growing rapidly at all times, and the range of the Supreme Divine Soil is also expanding. Right now, the area of the Divine Soil has already grown by five thousand meters compared to two days ago.”
“As the range of the Divine Soil expands, my Divine Seal’s grade is also rising swiftly. If this rate continues, it won’t be long before my Divine Seal can advance further to reach the fifth rank!”
Su Nan was not in a hurry to craft Paper Puppet Demons because he wanted to wait.
To wait until his Divine Seal advanced further.
Otherwise, if he now expended the incense fire aspiration force within the Divine Soil, it would take several days to replenish it before he could continue to expand the Divine Soil, which would be a waste of time.
Meanwhile, his avatar in Tianjue Province also had its gains.
Upon entering the demon clan domain, the avatar found the place where a demonic beast was suppressed, and by rescuing a King-class Demonic Beast, 60 points of Demon Power were added to his account, bringing his usable Demon Power to 620 points.
After that, in the demon clan domain, four early-stage Emperor-level Demonic Emperors were captured by him without attracting any attention.
Originally, he wanted to capture more, but the disappearance of four Demonic Emperors soon alerted the demon clan in Tianjue Province, who directly dispatched a late-stage Emperor Grade Demonic Emperor to investigate.
For the sake of caution, the avatar decisively exited the demon clan domain.
“The Destiny Society has already been dealt with, and there should not be any more unexpected incidents in the short term. Next is the sect master of the Ancient Wilderness Sect.”
The avatar returned to the Ancient Desolate Ruins, preparing to try and acquire in the upcoming foreknowledge any possible methods from the sect master of the Ancient Wilderness Sect that might rapidly improve the Life Wheel Scripture.
Su Nan did not hold much hope for obtaining anything from the sect master of the Ancient Wilderness Sect.
In his original plan, after dealing with the Destiny Society, he was going to leave Tianjue Province and head to other provinces to hunt for demonic beasts and cultivate the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.
But over the past two days, inheritances related to the Guiyi Sect kept surfacing, showing him a possibility that the sole inheritance of the Guiyi Sect might appear.
He decided to wait; if he could obtain the inheritance of the Guiyi Sect, it would be ideal.
Thus, during this period, he could just as well attempt to strategize against the sect master of the Ancient Wilderness Sect, since using foreknowledge to tackle the Heavenly Demon’s trials did not interfere with the activities of the avatar; so why not use foreknowledge on both sides simultaneously?
…
Demon Clan Ancestral Land.
As they ventured deeper, they encountered resentful demons more frequently.
Before meeting up with Long Yunhan and the others, Su Nan had the Great Princess enter the Mountain and Water Gourd, for with her current strength, she was no longer of any help.
The Great Princess was happy to do so as she wanted to seize this opportunity to try and break through to Emperor-level using the drop of Emperor-level Heavenly Wolf essence blood.
Long Yunhan and his companions were truly the pride of the sky of the demon clan, with strengths far surpassing an ordinary peak King-level, and by joining forces, they made the early-stage Emperor-level resentful demons no match for them.
Su Nan, however, started to hang back, only exerting strength comparable to theirs.
Two to three hours later, the group finally reached the deep part of the ancestral land; even from thousands of meters away, they could still see that small yet exceptionally conspicuous Stone Hall.
“Brother Lang Wu, didn’t you say before that we would encounter a late-stage Emperor-level resentful demon?” Long Yuanmu looked at Su Nan with doubt in his eyes.
He Wushuang and the others also looked toward Su Nan, still puzzled about how he could be so certain that they would face danger.
“Don’t worry, you’ll encounter it shortly,” Su Nan said indifferently.
The others frowned slightly, again turning their gaze towards Xing Yi of the fortune-telling Morning Star Xiu clan, who had displayed his abilities on this journey. With Xing Yi’s aid, they had avoided many dangers, some of which involved terrifying mid-stage Emperor-caliber threats.
Without Xing Yi, they might have faced countless perils.
However, at this moment, Xing Yi was also frowning, not sensing any danger here.
They continued moving forward and soon arrived within three to four thousand meters of the Stone Hall.
There, suddenly, Xing Yi sensed something and spoke solemnly, “Danger! Everyone, be careful!”
At his words, Long Yunhan and the others instantly tensed, readying themselves for battle, while Su Nan remained calm, for no one knew better than he what was about to happen.
