Chapter 589: Chapter 315: Return to the Ancient God’s Tomb

[Incense Prayer Technique executed, two-thirds of the incense fire aspiration force is exhausted, the Death Desert suddenly shakes, yellow sands surge up, and astoundingly, dozens of stone pillars rise.]

[Along with the rise of the stone pillars, the sand sea swells, and you suddenly notice, at a place a kilometer away from you, a massive sand pit appears. Below the sand pit, there are steps sloping downward.]

“It worked, this Incense Prayer Technique really is useful!”

A flash of brilliance streaks through Su Nan’s eyes. As long as there is enough incense fire aspiration force, this is practically an omnipotent technique, able to fulfill whatever one desires.

According to foreknowledge, certain specific conditions, perhaps even the likes of a key, are clearly needed to open the entrance to the relic.

Now that he has the Incense Prayer Technique, none of these are necessary.

[Upon reaching the end of the stone steps, a vast ancient city filled with broken walls and ruins appears before your eyes. Five hours later, after exploring most of the ancient city, you encounter no danger, yet neither do you gain anything.]

[Six hours later, you arrive at the largest stone hall situated in the heart of the ancient city. This is the only relatively well-preserved structure in the entire city, and you carefully explore it.]

[Thirteen hours later, after exploring the entire stone hall, you unfortunately discover that this stone hall, much to your chagrin, also contains nothing of value.]

[The only curious part is that it seems as though there were carvings on the two stone walls of the hall, but they have now been destroyed.]

“What’s going on? Why is there nothing?”

“Even if that Du Qiyuan cleared out this place back in the day, there ought to be some things left.”

Having taken him more than four hours to explore, the ancient city was massive, yet the result was that it has nothing.

Not having anything of value is one thing, but there wasn’t even any danger.

“If there’s nothing here, then why did Du Qiyuan set up the formation to seal this place? Did he just want to keep outsiders from entering?”

[You were not willing to give up just like that and again undertook a detailed exploration of the ancient city. Eight hours later, however, you still fail to find anything unusual.]

[Unwillingly, you return to the largest stone hall where, in your opinion, you are most likely to find the secrets of this ancient city.]

[You continue exploring the stone hall, finally focusing your attention on the two damaged stone walls. Attempting to use the Incense Prayer Technique, you wish to know what used to be carved on these walls.]

[Unfortunately, your incense fire aspiration force is not enough to make this wish come true, resulting in the failure of the prayer technique.]

[Twenty hours later, having gained nothing, you leave the Death Desert.]

[Twenty-two hours later, you feel that the connection between you and the God Soul Seed is getting closer. You realize that the demon beast you planted the God Soul Seed in is rapidly approaching you.]

“A demon beast? The beast, despite being heavily wounded, still dares to show up?”

Su Nan was surprised, he didn’t expect that the eventual problem would arise once again with the demon beast.

[You do not choose to flee, but instead prepare to have another battle with this demon beast along with the Skywolf Clan Princess.]

[Twenty-four hours later, the demon beast appears in your line of sight. Only then do you realize that the beast’s aura has grown overwhelmingly, even reaching the Peak King-level.]

[Realizing that you are not a match for the demon beast, you immediately flee with the Great Princess. A minute later, you fail to escape, and are intercepted by the demon beast.]

[Two minutes later, you unleash your racial talent, and team up with the Great Princess to fight the demon beast with all your might.]

[Three minutes later, your strength greatly diminishes, and you die.]

“Peak King-level? Its strength increased so rapidly? How did it manage to do that?”

Su Nan looked upset. Just the day before, with the help of the Great Princess, they had severely injured the demon beast. He had thought he would be free of it for a few days.

To his surprise, in just a day, the demon beast not only reappeared but also reached the Peak King-level!

Luckily, despite its significant power boost, it didn’t notice the anomaly in its God Soul.

“If I can’t provoke you, can’t I hide from you?”

Su Nan decided not to directly confront the beast and found a place to hide.

When the God Soul Seed sprouts, the life or death of the beast will be in his hands!

He looked at the Death Desert again.

He starts to suspect that there might be some hidden room or small space in the ancient relic; he just hasn’t found it yet.

“Too bad, using the Incense Prayer Technique to enter the Death Desert consumed most of my incense fire aspiration, which is not enough to cast the technique another time.”

Su Nan sighed. While the incense fire aspiration force is useful, it is also costly and gets consumed quickly.

However, besides this method, there are other ways to verify this hypothesis.

He could actually let his avatar go into the Death Desert and give it a try!

If upon exploring the ancient city, the task to explore the Death Desert is completed, then this means his suspicions were unnecessary. There are no hidden rooms or small spaces in the ancient relics. However, if it’s the other way around, it means his guess was correct.

With this thought, Su Nan did not hesitate and immediately controlled the avatar from the Daxuan Royal Palace to quickly move towards the Death Desert.

Six hours later.

The avatar came to the Death Desert. The Incense Prayer Technique was cast, and the entrance to the underground city appeared.

He quickly proceeded downwards through the entrance and soon saw the ancient city.

Having explored it twice in foreknowledge, there was no need to waste more time, so he rapidly toured around the relatively intact structures in the city.

Just as the avatar finished exploring the last stone hall, a message from the game popped up:
