Chapter 708: Chapter 373: Attempting to Affect Rewards

“This Cave Immortal left an inheritance, and he actually wants people to gather his residual soul to help him resurrect?”

After his foreknowledge ended, Su Nan was stunned.

This time, the duration for his foreknowledge was short, but the content was plentiful, far beyond his expectations.

Feeling impressed, Su Nan mused, ‘As expected of a former saint, his methods are extraordinary. Even after death, he still managed to find a way to resurrect.’

However, it was clear that resurrection is no easy task. There are great horrors between life and death, making success extremely challenging.

It seemed that the Cave Immortal knew that primal energy would awaken again in the world and wanted to resurrect after it did so.

Perhaps he didn’t accurately predict the time of this awakening or he didn’t collect enough Soul Nurturing Wood and Life Essence, causing the power of the magical formation to be used up prematurely. Eventually, he had to rely on others to gather his residual soul.

“This is my own fault. If I just took the inheritance and left, all this wouldn’t have happened,” Su Nan reflected seriously.

But, if given a choice, he would still enter the secret chamber to investigate after his destiny has played out.

Risk means opportunity.

With his ability to foresee the future, caution was never his concern. This was his style. The more dangerous it seemed, the more interested he became.

“However, now that I know what’s behind that secret room, I have to consider it carefully.”

He began to weigh the pros and cons.

In the place where the Cave Immortal planned to resurrect, there remained an abundance of Life Essence. Although almost all of the vitality in it had been used up, it still had value.

If he could refine even one or two drops of the complete Life Essence, his chances of surmounting his crisis in two days’ time would greatly increase.

“According to my foreknowledge, opening the coffin caused the Cave Immortal’s resurrection process to be disrupted. I’m not sure if obtaining the Life Essence only will cause the same problem?”

He didn’t worry about the strength of the Cave Immortal. With his Art of Fate, he felt no fear at all towards him.

He was clueless that the Cave Immortal would be resurrected in his previous foreknowledge. Now he knows, and if he’s willing, he could pre-emptively use the Art of Fate when entering the resurrection site.

If so, the Cave Immortal might not even know who his enemy is before facing a disaster and dying horribly.

However, Su Nan didn’t want to do this.

If a saint from the Human race could truly resurrect, it would be a great help for the current Human race. It might even enable the Human race to emerge from its current state of decline.

Possibly, Su Nan did not want to become an enemy of the Cave Immortal, nor did he want to kill him.

Of course, the premise was that the Cave Immortal wouldn’t be possessed by a demonic consciousness after resurrection!

If he were to be possessed, Su Nan might as well kill him and put him out of his misery.

“According to the information from my foreknowledge, the demon consciousness has been in the Cave Immortal’s body for a long time. It was suppressed by the Cave Immortal continuously. It probably isn’t the same creature that gave me the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.”

“So it seems that there are two demon beasts in this inheritance secret realm?”

If it were somewhere else, he might be able to find a way to deal with the demon consciousness, but in the Cave Immortal’s body, he had no idea how to do so.

If he opened the coffin, the Cave Immortal’s resurrection would be interrupted. But if he didn’t open the coffin, he couldn’t eliminate the demon consciousness. This put him in an unending loop.

“I can’t worry about so much now. I’ll complete the task first before carrying on with my foreknowledge.”

He took out two Soul Attraction Grass and burned them, executing the Incense Prayer Technique.

After the whole process, the residual soul of the Cave Immortal scattered in the secret realm gathered.

“Was it you who gathered my residual soul?”

After a brief period of confusion, the residual soul of the Cave Immortal gradually regained his senses and looked at Su Nan.

“Yes, senior.” Su Nan nodded.

The subsequent events went smoothly. He easily got the approval of the elder, gaining qualifications for inheritance.

[Congratulations, you have completed the “Inheritance of the Cave Immortal” second phase. Do you wish to immediately receive your reward?]

“Yes.”

[Congratulations, you have gained a Mortal-Level Bloodline]

[Congratulations, you have gained a Mortal-Level Demon Sutra]

[Congratulations, you have gained 15 Demon Points]

[The third phase task has been opened, please go to the task board for details.]

The rewards from the second phase were quite minimal for Su Nan now, somewhat mismatched with the task’s difficulty.

But he had no choice. After all, he copied this task and it was supposed to be quite simple, at least for Qian Yu it was.

“I just hope the rewards for the third phase are good.”

The task panel appeared before him,

[Main Quest: Inheritance of the Cave Immortal]

[Third Phase Task: Enter the Inheritance Site and Gain the Inheritance]

[Task Difficulty: Four-Star]

[Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Points, one Ancient Treasure]

“Ancient treasure!”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up, an ancient treasure was a good thing.

Every ancient treasure he owned so far has had a significant effect.

He wasn’t worried about getting an average ancient treasure because the task was rated Mortal-Level.

The reward from a four-star main quest had nothing to do with whether the task was Mortal-Level or King-Level. A Mortal-Level main quest could still yield good items.

“Maybe this time I can try to use the Incense Prayer Technique to influence the task rewards.”

A thought crossed Su Nan’s mind.

He had already passed the previous test. He should be able to handle it easily this time around, especially with his terrifying ability to kill an Emperor-level creature now.
