Chapter 728: Chapter 383 New Mainline_2

Upon hearing that Su Nan had been to the Land of the Lost, the old man’s face changed, but knowing that Su Nan had already left the Land of the Lost, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Nan roughly described his trip to the Land of the Lost.

Of course, he hid many things.

After silently listening to Su Nan’s story, the old man sighed with emotion, “The Land of the Lost is a place where one can enter but not leave. For you to be able to get out, it’s no wonder you stand out among the many outsiders.”

Speaking of which, the old man seemed to think of something, “It’s a pity that you didn’t come back sooner. If you had joined in, the success rate of that plan might have been much higher.”

Plan? What plan?

Su Nan was curious, and his face showed confusion.

Seeing his expression, the old man thought for a moment and asked, “Do you know what realm the strongest of our human race is in?”

Su Nan wondered why the old man was asking this. After contemplating for a bit, he answered, “Peak Emperor?”

The old man nodded, “It seems you should be aware of the drawbacks of our human race’s Bloodline Cultivation Method.”

“Indeed, the strongest of our human race is only at the Peak Emperor level, and there is no existence beyond the Emperor level. It is precisely because of the Bloodline Cultivation Method that it is like this.”

“The drawbacks of integrating the Bloodline Cultivation Method are too great. This method was not practiced in the ancient times, and it was lost for a while until it was rediscovered by our human race thousands of years ago, allowing it to reappear in our world.”

“This method is not too bad in the early stage, but the drawbacks become greater as one progresses. After reaching the Emperor level, it becomes impossible to cultivate further. Anyone who tries to break through to the higher Saint Level will end up losing control in the process.”

“Over these thousands of years, eight strong men in Dongchen State have tried to break through, but all have ended in failure. This is not only due to the Heavenly Dao, but also because of the Bloodline Cultivation Method.”

At this point, the old man took a deep breath, his expression inexplicably heavy.

“Eight!” Su Nan was shocked.

There are already so few strong human beings, and the loss of eight Peak Emperors is undoubtedly a huge blow to the human race.

Upon further thought, he understood that those people were most likely those who had reached the end of their lifetimes and saw no hope of breaking through, unwilling to simply fade away. They wished to make a last-ditch effort to contribute to the human race.

The old man continued, “Fortunately, after years of research, some of our human race’s ancestors have found a most likely method for breaking through.”

“Found a method?” Su Nan was surprised, his eyes lighting up.

If the human race had indeed found a method, he would also benefit from it. Perhaps he could even break through in the future.

The old man nodded, “Although it hasn’t been tested yet, the chances of success are not small. This method was derived from studying the Demon Clan’s breakthrough method.”

“However, there is a fatal flaw in this method – it requires Saint-level demon beast essence blood!”

Demon Saint Essence Blood!

Su Nan suddenly realized.

In the entire Dongchen State, apart from that Demon Monarch, there is no existence of a Demon Saint, let alone Saint-level demon beast essence blood.

To obtain Saint-level essence blood, the human race could only try to find some left behind from ancient times. Such things might not even exist in Dongchen State. Even if they did, their number would be extremely scarce and difficult to obtain.

Su Nan asked, “Does the Demon Saint Essence Blood have anything to do with the task you mentioned before?”

“Exactly!” The old man replied, “Do you know that the Demon Clan in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge is now holding their once every thirty years Heavenly Demon Festival?”

Heavenly Demon Festival?

Su Nan’s mind stirred as he thought of the task to hunt players. He immediately understood what was going on.

He didn’t show any emotions, just quietly listened.

“Of the entire Dongchen State, the most likely place to have Saint-level demon beast essence blood would be the Demon Clan’s Ancestral Land in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.”

“At the end of each Demon Clan Heavenly Demon Festival, the Demon Clan’s Ancestral Land will be opened, allowing some of the Demon Clan’s talented younger generation to enter and obtain opportunities.”

“That’s the chance. As long as we can infiltrate into it, we have a chance of obtaining Saint-level demon beast essence blood.”

Su Nan nodded, finally understanding what the human race sent the players into the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge for.

Given this, he couldn’t help but admire the courage of those players who participated in the mission.

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was a forbidden area for the human race, and the Demon Clan Ancestral Land was even more dangerous. With the current strength of the players, entering there was nothing short of courting death.
