I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World-Chapter 707 - 372: Cave Immortal_2
Chapter 707: Chapter 372: Cave Immortal_2
[Upon using the Incense Prayer Technique, the power of incense offerings within a three-meter range of your divine soul is consumed. You suddenly feel an invisible divine soul fluctuation around you.]
[As the Soul Attraction Grass burns, the divine soul fluctuation becomes stronger and stronger. A minute later, when the first Soul Attraction Grass has burned out, the Cave Immortal’s remnant soul fails to gather successfully.]
[You quickly decide to light the second Soul Attraction Grass. Two minutes later, the divine soul fluctuation intensifies, and a vague divine soul figure slowly appears.]
[Three minutes later, as the second Soul Attraction Grass is about to burn out, an old man’s divine soul appears in front of you.]
[The old man’s divine soul is very faint and incomplete, only able to maintain for a brief moment.]
[The first foresight ends. Do you wish to continue?]
“Success.”
Su Nan breathes a sigh of relief. As long as he can gather the remnants of the soul, the rest of the matters will be easy to handle.
The foresight begins again.
This time, he uses the Death Foresight again.
However, to his surprise, this time it only consumes one foresight opportunity.
“What happened? Was I killed by that demon beast?”
Su Nan’s face changes.
One opportunity can foresee events more than an hour ahead, and the only thing that seems capable of killing him in this secret realm cave dwelling is that seemingly freed demon beast.
[You come to the Cave Immortal’s cave dwelling again, intending to use the Soul Attraction Grass to gather the Cave Immortal’s remnant soul and acquire his inheritance qualifications.]
[With the use of the Soul Attraction Grass and the Incense Prayer Technique, you successfully gather the Cave Immortal’s remnant soul and obtain the qualification for his inheritance.]
[After an incense stick’s time, you arrive at the Cave Immortal’s Grand Hall of inheritance. Upon entering, you successfully obtain the Cave Immortal’s inheritance.]
[To your disappointment, there is nothing else in the Cave Immortal’s inheritance besides an ancient scripture.]
“Only an ancient scripture?”
Su Nan frowns, somewhat disappointed.
He doesn’t lack ancient scriptures at all. Even if he were given an ancient scripture comparable to the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture, he wouldn’t have the time or demonic energy to cultivate it.
He desires Divine Weapons, Ancient Treasures, and, if necessary, Spirit Objects.
[After obtaining the inheritance, you do not leave in a hurry but try to search for other items in the Grand Hall.]
[To your disappointment, there are many items that originally remained in the Grand Hall, but as time passed, these things have rotted away or decayed, becoming utterly worthless.]
[Meanwhile, you find that the Cave Immortal’s remnant soul has disappeared, whereabouts unknown.]
[Just when you are about to leave, your luck comes into play, and a secret room at the far end of the Grand Hall catches your attention.]
[The secret room is empty, with nothing inside, but you have a feeling that something is hidden here.]
[After some attempts, you eventually use Heaven Shifting Technique to enter another secret room you’ve never seen before.]
[You find that the secret room is filled with rotten wood, arranged in a huge array formation. In the center of the formation is a pool with a diameter of five meters. At the bottom of the pool, a huge object is faintly visible.]
[The entire secret room is enveloped by the array, and you have little knowledge of it, so you dare not act rashly. Instead, you release Luo Yu from the gourd to help you discern the array in the secret room.]
[After some analysis, Luo Yu tells you that the array here is very likely to be a mysterious Soul Gathering Array. After a cultivator’s death, their divine soul scatters and returns to the heaven and earth. However, this type of array can condense their divine soul.]
[Setting up this type of array requires a spirit object called Soul Nurturing Wood. This spirit object is extremely valuable, and the longer the array is maintained, the more Soul Nurturing Wood is needed.]
[The number of Soul Nurturing Woods used to set up the array here is terrifying, indicating that the array has been maintained for a very long time. Unfortunately, the power of the Soul Nurturing Woods has been completely exhausted, and the array loses its function.]
[The liquid in the pool is not ordinary water, but Life Essence, containing an incredibly majestic vitality.]
[Like the Soul Nurturing Woods, the vitality contained in the Life Essence has been largely consumed by now, leaving little behind, and is of little value.]
“Soul Gathering Array? Life Essence?”
“What is this for?”
Su Nan was surprised and doubtful. He was unclear what Soul Nurturing Wood was and had no concept of its value, but he knew quite a bit about Life Essence.
The reward for the first-place ranking in the survival trial when the game was first in open beta testing included Life Essence.
Initially, just a single drop of Life Essence, after being diluted, had saved six nearly-exhausted dragon turtle eggs.
Now, there was an entire pool of Life Essence here!
This could be described as terrifying!
For a moment, Su Nan’s breathing became rapid.
A pool of Life Essence, even if most of it had already lost its vitality, was still a vast quantity.
If there was a way to refine it, perhaps it could yield a few drops of Life Essence.
“I wonder if my Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace can refine liquids?”
“It should be fine since the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace is said to be able to smelt all things. It should have no problem smelting a liquid.”
Su Nan’s thoughts raced, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Wasn’t Life Essence, containing a large amount of vitality, precisely the life-saving object he had wanted to find?
Continuing to read on.
However, the premonition below greatly exceeded his expectations.
[You both focus your gaze at the bottom of the pool, trying to see the object submerged in the water clearly. After observing, you find that it is a coffin.]
[You are curious about the coffin and plan to open it. One minute later, you collect all the Life Essence, exposing the coffin.]
[Being cautious, you don’t dare to do it yourself and let Luo Yu be the one to open the coffin. As Luo Yu opens the coffin, you suddenly see an elder lying inside.]
[At a glance, you recognize that the elder’s appearance is identical to the remnant soul of the Cave Immortal. You instantly understand that the corpse inside the stone coffin is the Cave Immortal Elder.]
[To your surprise, you find that the Cave Immortal’s corpse has not decayed, its complexion is ruddy, and it still maintains the appearance it had before death, looking like a sleeping elder.]
[You observe carefully and discover that there is a faint hint of vitality in the Cave Immortal’s corpse. As the coffin is opened, it seems to have triggered something, and the vitality in the Cave Immortal’s corpse is rapidly increasing.]
[You and Luo Yu realize something is wrong and immediately become alert. Two minutes later, the Cave Immortal Elder suddenly opens his eyes, his gaze instantly falling on you, his expression ferocious, as he suddenly attacks you.]
[The Cave Immortal Elder is powerful and instantly kills Luo Yu. You realize that you are no match for the Cave Immortal Elder and use the Heaven Shifting Technique to try and escape.]
[To your horror, under the power of the Cave Immortal Elder, you are locked down and unable to run away. Fortunately, the Cave Immortal Elder has not lost his reason and does not kill you immediately.]
[You try to communicate with the Cave Immortal Elder, wanting to be let go as the inheritor.]
[The Cave Immortal Elder tells you that everything here was prepared by him for his resurrection.]
[However, his resurrection went awry, and the power of the Soul Gathering Array was nearly exhausted, causing his soul to disperse.]
[In desperation, the Cave Immortal Elder used the remaining part of his consciousness left in the Grand Hall to release the information of the inheritance, hoping that someone could help him condense his soul.]
[You condensed part of the soul for the Cave Immortal Elder and obtained the inheritance he left behind, but by opening the coffin, you caused his resurrection to fail again.]
[The Cave Immortal Elder is unwilling to give up and plans to erase your soul and take over your body.]
[You are also unwilling to have your body taken, and decisively find the cause and effect between you and the Cave Immortal Elder, expending human fate to use the Art of Fate on him.]
[With two hundred points of human fate consumed, the disaster of the Cave Immortal Elder arrives early, and his vitality rapidly drains away, while demonic energy surges out of his body.]
[You see that at this moment, the Cave Immortal Elder seems to have developed a second personality, laughing triumphantly from his throat.]
[The Cave Immortal Elder is enraged and communicates with the laughing personality, looking as though he was talking to himself. Only then do you understand that there is a demonic thought within the Cave Immortal Elder.]
[That demonic thought has always wanted to occupy the Cave Immortal Elder’s body but never found the opportunity. Now, with the Cave Immortal Elder’s disaster arriving, the demonic thought finally finds its chance and begins to seize the Cave Immortal Elder’s body.]
[However, the Cave Immortal Elder is powerful, and even in the face of disaster, it is difficult for him to die instantly, still having a brief moment of struggling power.]
[The Cave Immortal Elder roars but gives up on the demonic thought, attacking you with no regard for anything. Three minutes later, your soul is forcibly erased by the Cave Immortal Elder, and your body is occupied.]
[You are dead.]
