translator: 549690339

“[you are eager to hunt the demon in cell 42, but the presence in cell 30 hinders your steps.]

[you fear no hardships and set out again, hoping to find the right opportunity.]

[this time you are lucky, for as you pass cell no. 30, you are not killed by the power that seems to have escaped it.]

[you successfully arrive at cell 42.]

‘i’ve made it through! i actually passed cell no. 30!’

words on the panel were quickly flashing by, su nan was at first stunned and then overjoyed.

he was originally prepared for a long-term battle with cell no. 30. unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he only needed three of his four daily foreknowledge opportunities to succeed.

‘zhou lingyin said that i could gain a chance in cell no. 30, but i wonder what that chance could be?’

su nan couldn’t wait any longer, but one thing was certain: he now had a chance to complete his three-star task.

that was worth 15 demon points, the equivalent of doing three two-star daily tasks or 15 one-star tasks!

[upon entering cell 42, you are greeted by the foul fangs of a demon.]

[your instincts and preparedness, help you easily dodge the bite, but then comes a barrage of claws.]

[this is a demon with speed as its main attribute, and you can only defend while looking for a chance to counterattack.]

[three breaths later, you find an opportunity to counterattack; you start fighting back, but, unfortunately, the demon is too fast, dodging most of your attacks.]

[you struggle in the fight, feeling frustrated that despite your superior strength, you always fall short of inflicting serious damage on your opponent.]

[eventually, after two minutes of attrition, your speed gradually slows down. the demon seizes this opportunity and tears your throat with a single strike.]

[you are dead.]

[before dying, you realize that if only you had a little more strength or speed, you could have hunted down the demon.]

the foreknowledge ends with death, but su nan is not disappointed.

the purpose of this foreknowledge has been achieved. as long as he can enter cell no. 30 and complete the task there, the demon in cell 42 will be like fish on a chopping board.

the reward of 15 demon points would be enough for him to raise the iron ape sutra to perfection.

“i still have one more foreknowledge opportunity. this time i’ll foresee entering cell no. 30.”

although he is confident that the powerful person inside cell no. 30 has temporarily escaped the control of evil energies and regained their sanity, the task is still a three-star one and he dares not gamble.

the foreknowledge begins.

[cell no. 30 is very dangerous, and you know you may die inside, but you fear no danger and decide to explore cell no. 30.]

[you successfully arrive at cell no. 30, using the kun tian key to unlock the prison door. as the door is opened, an instant, intense aura of death stares at you from a pair of ancient and cloudy eyes.]

[you see a disheveled old man sitting in a corner of the cell on one side, looking weak and as if he’s nearing the end of his life.]

[you immediately take out the identity jade representing zhou lingyin and greet the old man on her behalf. the old man recognizes the jade and his eyes slowly soften.]

[you boldly try to enter the cell. the old man does not attack you, but neither does he pay attention to you.]

[you try to communicate with the old man. however, he seems not to hear, giving no response.]

[you won’t give up. if you can’t communicate with the old man, you won’t be able to gain any benefit from him.]
