[Great Sun Body Scripture: An ancient fundamental scripture of the Ancient Great Sun Sect, practicing it can transform the body into the Great Sun Body.]
[Huangting Pregnancy Divine Scripture: An ancient fundamental scripture of the Ancient Huangting Sect, practicing it can merge the essence, energy, and spirit into one, nurturing the life's divine spirit within.]
[Myriad Laws Heaven Manifestation Scripture: An ancient fundamental scripture of the Ancient Myriad Laws Sect, practicing it can manifest and control the myriad laws of heaven and earth.]
"The Great Sun Body Scripture corresponds to the Body System, allowing the body to transform into the so-called Great Sun Body. No doubt, it's an extremely powerful bodily cultivation technique."
"The Huangting Pregnancy Divine Scripture corresponds to the Secret Power System, capable of nurturing the life's divine spirit. Just the name 'divine spirit' sounds impressive, and using divine spirit as a title is definitely extraordinary."
"The Myriad Laws Heaven Manifestation Scripture corresponds to the Law System, and it's even more exceptional. It can control the power of myriad laws. If I practice this ancient scripture, will I be able to control powers beyond water, fire, and lightning?"
After carefully reviewing the descriptions of the three ancient scriptures, Su Nan not only couldn't decide which one to redeem, but also became more conflicted.
For ordinary players, facing such a choice would be simple since they could only use one system's power. These three ancient scriptures corresponded to three different systems, seemingly offering a choice, but in reality, there was no choice.
However, Su Nan could use powers from three different systems, so any of the three ancient scriptures could be practiced.
Because of this, he found it challenging to make a decision among the three.
"I wonder if there will be a hint in Death Prediction?"
Su Nan thought of Death Prediction.
Predicting the future couldn't involve things related to the game interface, so it wouldn't be possible to redeem ancient scriptures through prediction.
But Death Prediction could bypass the intermediate process and provide direct results, indirectly allowing him to redeem ancient scriptures through prediction.
[You are aware that you are about to obtain an ancient scripture, but the practice of this ancient scripture is not entirely safe. There may be many dangers. Would you like to consume a certain number of prediction chances to foresee the events of your last three minutes before death in the future?]
"Yes."
With his confirmation, Su Nan was surprised to see that a total of 35 prediction chances were consumed!
"35 times?"
Twenty prediction chances could foresee events twenty-four hours in advance, and with 35 chances, he could foresee events two days in advance at the very least.
Su Nan was curious about what awaited him two days from now.
"You have obtained an ancient scripture called 'Great Sun Body Scripture.' This is an ancient scripture for cultivating physical strength. At the highest level, your body will become indestructible. Even if heaven and earth were to be destroyed, they wouldn't be able to erase you."
"You have learned from the ancient scripture that to practice it, you not only need a terrifying amount of demon blood to temper your body, but you also need specific natural treasures at each stage, which consume an astonishing amount of resources."
"At the same time, the practice process is extremely dangerous. It requires you to ignite the Great Sun Fire within your body daily. In the initial stages, a single mistake could lead to death by the Great Sun Fire."
"Despite the daunting conditions for practicing the ancient scripture, you still intend to pursue it. Unfortunately, this world lacks the necessary natural treasures, forcing you to temporarily abandon the practice of this ancient scripture."
"Indestructible body!"
Su Nan was shocked. This was the first time he had heard the term "indestructible" in this world.
Before this, he had never heard of anyone in this world who could achieve immortality. Resurrection after death was already considered a taboo.
Even the legendary Saints and even the Gods in ancient times had died generation after generation.
Clearly, the so-called "highest level" mentioned in the ancient scripture was just a legendary existence, and no one had ever reached it.
Otherwise, the human race in this world wouldn't be in its current state.
"The Great Sun Body Scripture is clearly different from the Wheel of Fate Scripture. Practicing the Wheel of Fate Scripture doesn't require anything else. As long as I have enough demon power, I can steadily progress."
"But practicing the Great Sun Body Scripture requires various supplementary items."
Setting aside the unattainable realm, Su Nan began to analyze whether he was suitable for practicing the Great Sun Body Scripture.
"Demon blood is not a problem. I have a large amount of demon blood on hand, and with my strength, it's not difficult to obtain demon blood even beyond my level."
"The daily ignition of the Great Sun Fire during practice is not an issue either. It may be extremely dangerous for others, but for me with foresight, it's not a problem at all."
"The only problem is the natural treasures required at each stage."
Natural treasures were not easy to come by.
Despite gaining several natural treasures since he started playing the game, they were all obtained by completing tasks that were extremely difficult for ordinary people.
Moreover, the natural treasures obtained from tasks were random, and he couldn't rely on completing tasks to gather the specific treasures required for practicing the Great Sun Body Scripture.
"I won't rush to make a decision. I'll wait until I've read the other two ancient scriptures."
Prediction continued.
"Half a day later, while hunting a king-level demon, you suddenly noticed that with the frequent use of Body System powers, the bloodline of your Body System in your body is agitated beyond control."
"You understand that this is due to the erosion of demonic energy. Despite breaking through the Profound level with the suppression of the Demon Spirit Grass, you've left a huge hidden danger."
"You desperately want to find a solution. After a day of preparation, you decide to go to the Lost Land that Zhou Lingyin mentioned earlier to find a solution."
"A day and a half later, you arrive at the entrance to the Lost Land. The Lost Land is an independent space, and your avatar cannot enter alone, so you have to enter personally."
"After passing through the entrance to the Lost Land, you find yourself in a desert. What you don't know is that this is the Forbidden Area of the Lost Land."
"You control your avatar to pave the way ahead. One minute later, you haven't encountered any danger."
"Two minutes later, you suddenly notice a bizarre change in your body. Your body is gradually turning into sand!"
"Fear grips your heart, and you try to leave the desert quickly. Despite using Celestial Movement multiple times, you still can't escape. Three minutes later, your body completely turns into sand."
"You died."
"Frequent use of Body System powers accelerates the erosion by demonic energy?"
Su Nan's heart trembled. He couldn't avoid using Body System powers forever, so he needed to find a solution to the demonic energy problem as soon as possible.
"It seems I have to go to the Lost Land."
With a sigh, he planned to prepare as he did in the prediction and then head to the Lost Land.
As for the dangers in the Lost Land, he didn't worry too much. After all, it was a forbidden area in the Eastern Chenzhou, and danger was inevitable.
He would figure out a solution through prediction when he was about to enter.
"I've only predicted once
, and it has already consumed half of my prediction chances. I can't continue like this."
"I need to find a way to die faster, or else I'll be using up over 30 prediction chances every time, and my prediction chances won't last long."
This was the first time he hoped to die a little faster.
Unfortunately, he only had a total of sixty-nine prediction chances, and if he continued to consume them like this, he would only be able to predict twice.
"Fusing bloodlines, perhaps I can attempt bloodline fusion in my predictions."
Su Nan thought about bloodlines, his eyes brightening.
Previously, the county governor of Tianyun County had mentioned that his bloodline fusion had been too fast. After reaching the Profound level, continuing to fuse bloodlines could likely lead to problems.
This was a perfect opportunity for him to see what would happen if he continued to fuse bloodlines.
The Death Prediction began once again.
This time, he only consumed five prediction chances.
[You have obtained an ancient scripture called 'Huangting Pregnancy Divine Scripture.' This is a powerful ancient scripture that allows you to condense your life's divine spirit. At the highest level, your life's divine spirit transcends heaven and earth, and even if heaven and earth were to be destroyed, you would remain unscathed.]
[However, upon careful examination of this ancient scripture, you discover that it is too extreme. Once your life's divine spirit is condensed, everything in your body will become nourishment for your life's divine spirit, eventually turning your physical body to ashes and smoke.]
"Physical body turns to ashes and smoke!"
Su Nan gasped, feeling fortunate that he hadn't exchanged for this ancient scripture without the knowledge from the prediction. If he had, he would have had nowhere to regret.
Perhaps the so-called life's divine spirit was indeed incredibly powerful, capable of transcending death, but the price of turning his physical body into ashes was too high.
For ordinary players, this might not be a significant issue. As long as they could truly condense their life's divine spirit, losing their physical bodies wouldn't matter much.
However, for Su Nan, once he lost his physical body, he would no longer be able to wield the powers of the Law System and Body System.
Instantly, the so-called 'Huangting Pregnancy Divine Scripture' was eliminated from Su Nan's list of potential exchanges.
The prediction continued.
[After seeing the cost of practicing this ancient scripture, you realize that it is not suitable for you.]
[Without further researching the ancient scripture, you return to the Imperial City of Dayu Dynasty and arrive at the Heavenly Palace Tower within the city.]
[After upgrading your Swallowing Star Demon Bloodline to Great Perfection, you spend ten drops of Profound-level demon blood and purchase a drop of Profound-level demon blood from the Heavenly Palace Tower along with the corresponding ancient scripture. You prepare to attempt bloodline fusion once more.]
[One minute later, after making all necessary preparations, you begin the bloodline fusion.]
[As soon as the bloodline enters your body and starts to fuse, you immediately realize that your Swallowing Star Demon Bloodline is rapidly devouring and assimilating the new bloodline.]
[As the bloodlines are gradually consumed, your Swallowing Star Demon Bloodline becomes restless. You realize that something is amiss and attempt to control it, but you find that your Swallowing Star Demon Bloodline is completely uncontrollable.]
[Three minutes later, the two bloodlines in your body completely clash and spiral out of control.]
[You die.]
[Before dying, you realize that, just as the county governor of Tianyun County had mentioned, fusing bloodlines too quickly means that even though the bloodlines seem to have merged with your body, they have not completely fused. At critical moments, you cannot control those bloodlines.]
As expected, the rapid fusion of bloodlines ultimately led to his death.
The reason for his death was exactly as the county governor of Tianyun County had mentioned.
"So that's why, when I fused bloodlines before, I couldn't control them. It's because the bloodlines had not completely merged with me!"
"Before, I could still operate the demonic scripture and barely maintain control, but now, at the Profound level, the bloodlines have become so powerful that they can ignore my control!"
Even though he had anticipated that there would be problems with bloodline fusion, seeing the results still left him with an unpleasant expression.
"The issue of demonic energy hasn't been resolved, and now there are problems with bloodline fusion."
Su Nan furrowed his brows.
The county governor had mentioned earlier that the player's limit was at the King level.
From what he could see now, the early stages of the Profound level were already the limit!
He fused bloodlines at an incredibly fast rate, several times faster than other players, but other players weren't slow either.
Given his current situation, when other players reached the Profound level, they would inevitably face the same situation.
He could even imagine that if no one revealed this information, shortly after the so-called top players, those so-called gods, reached the Profound level, attempting to continue bloodline fusion, one after another would undoubtedly lose control!
"Is it possible that I've reached the player's limit so quickly?" Su Nan's expression became grave.
Initially, the ancient beasts in the Ancient Cave Mansion had said that the endpoint of the Bloodline Path was at the Imperial level. He had thought that players could only advance to the Imperial level.
Later, the county governor had mentioned that the player's limit was at the King level, and now it seemed that the Profound level was already the limit!
Based on the situation described in the prediction, if a solution was not found, all players who reached the Profound level would be unable to continue bloodline fusion!
"There must be a solution; I just haven't found it yet!"
"Even if there really is no solution, I can still cultivate ancient scriptures and practice the Path of Sacred Fire!"
Su Nan took a deep breath, and while he had expected this situation, he wasn't overly disappointed.
He still had other paths!
"There's one last ancient scripture; I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
He looked at the Death Prediction again and continued his predictions.
This time, he consumed five more prediction chances.
Since his previous attempt at fusing the Secret Power System bloodline had failed, he was not giving up. This time, he wanted to try fusing the Body System powers.
[You have obtained an ancient scripture called 'Myriad Laws Heaven Manifestation Scripture.' This is a special ancient scripture that, when cultivated to the highest level, allows you to become one with the ruler of heaven and earth, controlling all the myriad laws of heaven and earth.]
[From the information in the ancient scripture, you learn that a long time ago, the demon and human races in this world were not limited to just the control of the three powers: water, fire, and lightning. It was only after a great battle that the Great Dao became fragmented, resulting in a decrease and even disappearance of the myriad laws of heaven and earth.]
[However, the Myriad Laws Heaven Manifestation Scripture can derive myriad laws, allowing you to gradually master various powers beyond water, fire, and lightning.]
[The requirements for cultivating this ancient scripture are quite low. You only need to continue deriving within your body to gradually master various powers. The only cost is time, as deriving myriad laws is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires a significant amount of time.]
As he had suspected, cultivating the Myriad Laws Heaven Manifestation Scripture could indeed allow him to wield the power of myriad laws.
What surprised him was that in the distant past, this world had not been limited to just the three powers of water, fire, and lightning.
"Was there a great battle that led to the fragmentation of the Great Dao? Could it have been the ancient
battle between the Celestial Clan and the Divine Dynasty?"
Su Nan thought of a possible scenario.
The Divine Ruins had been forbidden territory since ancient times, indicating that the great battle had occurred a long time ago.
"Cultivating this ancient scripture requires a lot of time, which doesn't seem suitable for me."
He had grown accustomed to rapid advancement, and he couldn't tolerate a cultivation method that consumed time for progress. Rather than spending a lot of time, he would prefer to collect spiritual objects.
With a slight change in his heart, Su Nan had made up his mind.
The prediction did not end; it continued, just like before, with an attempt to fuse bloodlines.
Unfortunately, the final result was the same as before. He failed once again.
When the prediction ended, Su Nan looked at the Contribution Mall, ready to make his exchange.
