I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 709: Chapter 373: Attempt to Influence Rewards_2

Easily reaching the Inheritance Great Hall.

This time, facing the door of the hall that he couldn’t open before and had to use the Across the Heavens Shift to enter, he just gently pushed it, and the door opened in response.

“Successor, you’ve finally arrived!”

An old figure echoed in the hall, an elder’s figure condensed.

It was also a part of the Cave Immortal’s divine soul, except this remnant soul was left here by the Cave Immortal himself.

“Congratulations, Successor! You are the first to pass the test I left behind. Now you are qualified to receive my inheritance. Come, let me pass it on to you.” The elder looked at Su Nan with a smile.

With reluctance, Su Nan didn’t worry that the elder was going to attack him.

He stood in front of the elder with ease, ready to receive the inheritance.

The elder placed a palm on top of Su Nan’s head, and the next moment, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

When all the information was transmitted, the elder’s figure disappeared, leaving the great hall silent once again.

At the same time, a hint from the game appeared as well.

[Congratulations! You have completed the third part of Main Quest “Cave Immortal’s Inheritance.” Do you want to receive your rewards immediately?]

Ignoring the game hint, Su Nan was captivated by the information in his mind.

It took him a while to regain his wits, checking his personal panel immediately after.

He noticed a new ancient manual added to his panel.

[Four Seasons Reversing Sutra: Ancient experts comprehended the secret of the alternating Four Seasons, grasped the changes of time and years, created this ancient manual with the goal of reversing time and traversing the past and future. Upon reaching perfection, one can travel through the past and future. However, due to the unpredictability of time, no one has achieved great success in this ancient manual so far.]

“Time! This is an ancient manual about the power of time!”

Seeing the information on the panel, Su Nan was both amazed and delighted.

Thinking of the time when he learned about the ancient manual in his foresight, he acknowledged his short-sightedness.

Time power, it’s definitely a mysterious force on par with the power of fate!

Not long ago, in his two foresights in reality, it was because the enemy might not be in the same space-time as him that many of his abilities were blocked.

At that time, he was thinking that if possible, he would have to find a way to access the power of time in the future.

It was unexpected that his wishes would be granted so soon, now obtaining the cultivation method of time power.

“If I can just practice the initial stage of this ancient manual, I wonder if I could affect that Heavenly Race expert?”

Eager to know, Su Nan carefully read the Four Seasons Reversing Sutra from beginning to end.

After a moment, his excited heart quickly calmed down, his joyous expression not only disappearing but also turning somewhat gloomy.

“This ancient manual only has four realms, named after the Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. Each realm mastered allows one to wield a different usage of time power.”

As consistent with the game’s introduction, according to the ancient manual’s description, once the four realms are mastered, it is possible to transcend the river of time and travel through the past and future.

However, there is one huge drawback to this ancient manual which could be considered fatal.

That is the real reason why no one has been able to cultivate this ancient manual to great success.

“Slow! This ancient manual takes too long to cultivate, requiring a lot of time to endure!”

“The first realm alone would take at least a hundred years, and the more you advance, the longer it takes: a thousand years, ten thousand years, and finally, a hundred thousand years!” Su Nan was shocked once again.

A hundred thousand years?

Who can live that long?

Even those at the Divine Level and above are unlikely to achieve it.

The one who has lived the longest in his knowledge is the Demon Monarch of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge who survived from the Ancient Times.

However, that Demon Monarch has only managed to live this long by undergoing slumber and self-sealing, and in that state, there probably isn’t any chance of cultivation.

Moreover, that Demon Monarch already broke through the Saint Level in Ancient Times, and the demon clan has a much longer lifespan than humans. It is even possible that the Demon Monarch’s race is one of the long-lived species among the demon clan.

Various factors combined have allowed that Demon Monarch to live till now. If it were a human, they would have likely died and disappeared long ago.

Inevitably, he thought of the task’s introduction about the Cave Immortal.

The task clearly stated that the Cave Immortal had been an astonishing genius in his youth, but because he had wasted a lot of time on a peculiar ancient manual, his life ended up being wasted.

Undoubtedly, the ancient manual the Cave Immortal once cultivated was this one!

“It seems impossible for me to cultivate this ancient manual to perfection, but maybe I could just focus on the first two realms.”

His gaze fell on the panel, and a prompt popped up.

[Would you like to spend 10 demon power points to accelerate the cultivation progress of the Four Seasons Reversing Sutra by one year?]

You can use demon power to accelerate cultivation!

This was a silver lining in his misfortune, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

“10 demon power points to speed up one year of progress, 100 points for ten years, 1,000 points for a hundred years.”

“In that case, if I want to achieve the first realm, Spring, I just need a thousand demon power points.” His eyes brightened.

A thousand demon power points would be astronomical for ordinary players, but it isn’t unbearable for him at the moment.

After all, he needs 1,500 demon power points to upgrade the Life Wheel Sutra!

“I won’t be able to cultivate this ancient manual in a short time, so I’ll have to wait.”

Sighing, he stopped looking at the Four Seasons Reversing Sutra and turned to look at the mission rewards.

This time, he didn’t immediately accept the rewards as he did before.

The reason was simple: he wanted to attempt something – an experiment concerning the Incense Prayer Technique.
