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.
