Chapter 770: Chapter 403: The Ancient Desolation Curse _2

“Overnight, the Ancient Wilderness Sect was annihilated, all disciples met tragic deaths, and turned into a kind of terrifying vengeful spirit, lingering within the Ancient Wilderness Sect, condemned to an eternity without salvation.”

“Moreover, the area within a hundred miles where the Ancient Wilderness Sect was located was affected by the curse, abandoned by Heaven and Earth, transforming into a land of absolute desolation.”

“That curse still affects that piece of Heaven and Earth to this day, not having completely faded away. Within that area, the Heavenly Secrets are chaotic, lacking not only the Power of Heaven and Earth but also devoid of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality.”

“One cannot cultivate within it, and over time, one’s Strength might deteriorate. Moreover, if someone with insufficient Qi Luck enters, it’s very probable that their fortune will be impacted and they might encounter misfortune.”

After reading the introduction, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel alarmed; the curse left from Ancient Times had not dissipated even now.

He was very curious about what kind of Taboo Method the Sect Master of Ancient Wilderness Sect had used back then.

As he continued to browse the forum, another half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, this time he didn’t obtain any particularly useful information.

“Let it be, this much information is enough,” he thought. This trip had been fruitful, as he had essentially found out everything that needed to be known.

Just as he was about to exit the forum,

suddenly, a post caught his eye and grabbed his attention.

It was another post related to the Ancient Desolate Ruins, and it wasn’t particularly popular, nor did it have many views.

But the information within the post piqued his interest.

“According to rumors, our Tianjue Province’s number one Great God Liu Di has triggered a Task related to the Ancient Desolate Ruins.”

The post was short, with no pictures or proof, which is why it wasn’t very popular.

After reading it, Su Nan raised an eyebrow. Now, anything related to the Ancient Desolate Ruins deserved his attention, let alone something simultaneously related to that First Player of Tianjue Province.

“A Task related to a place like the Ancient Desolate Ruins is likely to be four-star. I wonder what the content of that Task is?”

While he was curious, he didn’t realize that the very Liu Di he was thinking about was also thinking of him at this moment.

In Game, Tianjue Province,

a desolate landscape full of mountain peaks stretched as far as the eye could see, numbering unknown.

Atop these mountain peaks stood pavilions and lofty halls, which, even though they were now largely ruined, one could still discern the glory that once was.

This place was none other than the Ancient Desolate Ruins that Su Nan was focusing on.

“Senior, can you really kill Wang Nan like this?” a refined-looking young man asked doubtfully.

If Su Nan were there, he would definitely recognize him as none other than the First Player of Tianjue Province, Liu Di.

In front of Liu Di stood more than a dozen figures in Black Robes, led by an Old man.

The Destiny Society!

Liu Di had actually joined forces with the Destiny Society.

“Yes, fifth ancestor, is our method really effective?”

Hearing Liu Di’s words, a few other members of the Destiny Society also couldn’t help their doubt and finally voiced the question they’d been wanting to ask.

Wang Nan was in Dongchen State, and they were in Tianjue Province—if they could kill Su Nan from countless miles away, why hadn’t they used this technique earlier?

The Old man said in a deep voice, “Hmph! What do you know? That Wang Nan has obtained a sliver of power from the Supreme Treasure, and he cannot be dealt with by conventional means. To counter him, we naturally cannot take the ordinary path.”

“This Secret Technique was given to us previously when contacting the Heavenly Race. The Powerful Person of the Heavenly Race blessed us with it, able to transfer this place’s curse onto Wang Nan’s body.”

“Originally, this Secret Technique was just a contingency, to be used in case of necessity, but we did not expect it would really come to this.” Having said that, the Old man let out a sigh.

According to their original plan, by now they should have taken over the real world that the Players inhabit, but the outcome was completely beyond his expectation, causing many plans to be altered.

Liu Di, with an expressionless face, felt envious in his heart.

Envious of the Strength Wang Nan possessed.

The grudges between the Destiny Society and Wang Nan are known to all Players. The commotion the Destiny Society caused trying to find Wang Nan in Hua Country was sensational at the time.

Everyone knew that the Destiny Society wanted to get something from Wang Nan, but only a very few knew what the Destiny Society was searching for, and naturally, Liu Di was unaware.

It was only yesterday, when he encountered these people of the Destiny Society here in the Ancient Desolate Ruins and reached a cooperation with them, that he learned the truth of the matter.

“Cheating! Wang Nan is actually cheating, that’s unfair!” Liu Di shouted inwardly.

He couldn’t have imagined that from the start of the game, Wang Nan had received a sliver of power from a Supreme Treasure. It was with that sliver of power that Wang Nan was able to rise so rapidly.

In Liu Di’s eyes, this was tantamount to “cheating”!

He couldn’t help but wonder if Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen had also “cheated.”

It was clear from Liu Di’s expression that something was amiss, and one of the five ancestors from the Destiny Society said, “Little guy, don’t overthink it, Wang Nan is destined to pay the price for his actions.”

“As long as you cooperate with us, I can guarantee that in the future you will inevitably become the number one Player in this game.”

To take control of that Supreme Treasure, a number of conditions are required, one of which is a Player, one with Great Luck who can bear a sliver of the Supreme Treasure’s Strength.

Although they had entered the game world, they could not possess the identity of a Player, so naturally, they needed to cultivate a Player to use for their purposes.

Now in the game, the Players with the strongest Qi Luck are Zhang Yang, Wang Nan, and Lang Thirteen.

Wang Nan is firstly excluded, and both Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen are too powerful and difficult to control, which makes Liu Di, ranked fourth and only at mid-stage Xuan-level, the most suitable candidate.

Liu Di smiled, said nothing, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.

…

He entered the game once again.

The rising sun marked the start of a new day.

Today is the seventh day of the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, and the end of the grand event was nearing.

It was only eight in the morning in reality, still four hours until the game refresh, so Su Nan had to wait patiently.

Three hours later, halfway up Picking Stars Peak, the elimination round began once more.

Today, it was the fifty-to-twenty competition, nothing exciting, the outcome was already decided with no chance of any mishaps.

Soon, Time reached Midnight.

The game refreshed.

He checked each of the three Roles’ Tasks.

Unsurprisingly, they were no different from the Tasks of the previous days.

Since there was still a demon beast on him, the Task of hunting demon beasts had refreshed today.

Also, Tasks like hunting the Demonic Emperor and the Demon King were all intact, and Lang Thirteen’s Task continued to feature the promotion Task of the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony.

These did not matter, as Su Nan’s first move was to Look to foreknow and prepare to start foreseeing.

Those people from the Destiny Society would make their move against him Tomorrow, if he still had no means to go to Tianjue Province today, then he would have to find other ways to deal with them.

“First, let’s see if that Teleportation Array can still be used.”

He didn’t plan to head directly to the Sky Sea Abyss, but decided to try the Teleportation Array again.

He wanted to see whether the Corpse was fixated on him or would only target the first person who teleported.

This time, he used up twenty chances, two more than the last attempt at foreknowing.

…

[Twenty hours later, you’ve gathered enough essence and blood and plan to activate the Teleportation Array.]

[You know that once you use the Teleportation Array for teleportation, you could likely be affected by unknown factors and sent to an unknown place.]

[You dare not risk it and instead decide to use a King-level Demonic Beast and an Outsider that you’ve already captured, making them enter the Teleportation Array with Luo Yu, a controlled demon beast.]

[As the essence and blood is depleted, one demon, one monster, and one person are teleported away.]

[Twenty-four hours later, you gather enough essence and blood for teleportation again. This time, you attempt to teleport personally.]

[With the activation of the Teleportation Array, you are teleported away but are affected by unknown factors, resulting in a deviation. You arrive at a pit.]

[You’re not too surprised and immediately try to find Luo Yu, the Demon King and the Outsider, but you don’t find anyone here.]

[You realize that Luo Yu has been successfully teleported, and only your teleportation has gone awry. Unfortunately, it’s not the person who teleports first that is targeted, it’s you!]

…

“It’s a failure!”

Su Nan’s brows were tightly furrowed.

The worst he feared had happened—he was still being targeted.

As for the reason, he didn’t know, but that was not important. This attempt had made it clear to him that he couldn’t use the Teleportation Array.

“No choice now, I’ll have to try heading to the Sky Sea Abyss.”

“I hope the Sky Sea Abyss won’t disappoint me.”
