Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 297 Techniques_2 (2/2)

Hearing this, Su Nan knew what the elder wanted to say, but he still pretended to be surprised: “Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path? What is that?”

The old man did not provide much explanation, only saying, “It’s a supreme Great Dao that far exceeds the path of bloodlines! Unfortunately, a strange event occurred once, causing our Daxuan Kingdom to fall to this point and be trapped in this Land of the Lost, unable to leave.”

With that, his tone shifted and said, “Fortunately, even so, our ancestors of Daxuan Kingdom have left us with a powerful trump card, which is the foundation that has allowed our Daxuan Kingdom to stand tall in the Land of the Lost for thousands of years.”

“A trump card?” Su Nan timely showed a shocked expression, then exclaimed as if he had realized something, “Could it be…?”

The old man nodded and said, “Correct, they are called Paper Puppet Demons, a bizarre existence. To control these Paper Puppet Demons, you must cultivate Divine Dao Secret Techniques.”

“Unfortunately, since the strange event thousands of years ago, all secret techniques related to the Fragrant Fire Divine Way have been lost. Even our Daxuan Kingdom doesn’t have them,” the old man sighed, his eyes filled with regret.

“Not available?” At this, Su Nan’s heart instantly felt disappointed.

He originally thought that as a force established by the Daxuan Dynasty, the Daxuan Kingdom would have inherited some Divine Dao Secret Techniques. It seems that he was being too optimistic.

The old man continued, “The Blood Sacrifice Method is a secret technique created by our High Ancestor of Daxuan Kingdom, which allows those of us who have not cultivated the Fragrant Fire Divine Way to control the Paper Puppet Demons and not be backfired.”

“The method of the Blood Sacrifice is very simple. Starting tomorrow, you just need to come to this Great Temple at midnight every day, smear your blood on three sandalwood sticks and light them. Once all the incense burns out naturally, you can leave.”

He paused and then continued solemnly, “This process can be as short as seven days or as long as fifteen days.”

“This process is not absolutely safe; on the contrary, it’s very dangerous. One slight mishap, and you might be backfired by the God Offering Demons, and then be devoured!”

“Devoured?”

Su Nan’s brow furrowed, and he couldn’t help but recall the situation at the City God Temple in Tianyun City.

However, for him, the Paper Puppet Demons were not a big problem.

What he was really worried about were the God Offering Demons!

The third-ring task on the Path of the Lord is also four-star, which means this process will definitely involve Emperor-level Offering God Demons. It might reenact the scene from the City God Temple in Tianyun County City.

Su Nan pondered carefully, seeing him like this, the old man thought he was scared, and reassured him, “You don’t need to worry. You have passed the test of the Great Temple and completed the Divine Soul Baptism. Although this final step of Blood Sacrifice seems dangerous to you, you won’t have a life-threatening situation.”

Su Nan nodded, not too worried.

From the current information, although the Blood Sacrifice is time-consuming, taking at least seven days at the fastest, it does not seem as dangerous as the Divine Soul Baptism for him.

At least, he already had a direction to deal with it.

According to the old man, to control those God Offering Demons, one needs to cultivate Divine Dao Secret Techniques!

While the people of Daxuan Kingdom do not cultivate the Fragrant Fire Divine Way or have Divine Dao Secret Techniques, they can only control the God Offering Demons using the Blood Sacrifice Method.

Compared to the Daxuan Kingdom’s royal family, although he doesn’t have Divine Dao Secret Techniques, at least he has cultivated the Fragrant Fire Divine Way. He might be able to choose a method to control the God Offering Demons from the Fragrant Fire Divine Way.

“You go back and rest first. We also need to prepare. Come back tomorrow at midnight,” said another old man.

Su Nan nodded, didn’t say anything else, and controlled his avatar to leave the Great Temple.

Upon returning to the Fourth Prince’s bedroom, he took out the Divine Aperture Stone from the Divine Soul in his avatar for the first time and sent it back to his real body through Personal Space.

Afterward, he carefully observed the changes in his Divine Soul.

Compared to before, the Divine Soul in his avatar had grown more than three times stronger!

Just in terms of Power of Divine Soul, it was already comparable to Beginner Xuan-level!

Keep in mind that this part of the Divine Soul was just a small part of his real body, not even one-tenth.

Unfortunately, this part of the Divine Soul was destined not to be his.

“Foreknowledge said that there is an invisible seed in my Divine Soul, and though I don’t know what that invisible seed is or what it’s for, I can be sure that it’s definitely not something good.”

“Just in case, I have to get rid of it as soon as possible.”

Su Nan didn’t dare to delay, who knew if the seed would “take root and sprout” over time. He planned to destroy this part of the Divine Soul today.

As for wanting to destroy the Divine Soul, Su Nan definitely couldn’t do it on his own, and he could only ask for the Great Princess’s help.

With this in mind, he used the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations to turn into a flying bird and left the palace, quickly heading towards his real body.

Su Nan didn’t notice that as he flew out of the Royal City, a young man seemed to sense something and looked up at him.
