Chapter 769: Chapter 403 Ancient Desolate Curse

After returning to his rented place, Su Nan logged into the forum again.

He planned to search for information about Tianjue Province on the forum.

Previously, since he had never considered leaving Dongchen State, he didn’t know much about other States and hadn’t paid much attention to them.

But now, not only did he have to go to Tianjue Province, but the Twelve States were also about to merge, so naturally, it was time to cram for information.

Ever since the first invasion of the demon clan and the fall of various countries, with the opening of World Chat, news from all States had long been shared freely.

As a result, besides the general sections, the forum also added sections corresponding to the Twelve States.

Su Nan directly chose the Tianjue Province section and looked for useful information there.

An hour later, he put down his phone, his eyes showing a flash of understanding.

“Tianjue Province is the region where the United States players are located; there are only three human Influences there, namely Spirit Heart Palace, Zihuang Valley, and Shenxue Gate, which rule over all human domains in Tianjue Province.”

“Although the strength of the human race in Tianjue Province is also inferior to the demon clan and can only struggle to survive, it still ranks among the top in the Twelve States, with no shortage of emperor-level powerhouses.”

“Even rumors suggest that in each of the three major forces, there are old monsters who have lived for over a thousand years. Such beings, if they do not die, are definitely like the previous ancestor of the White Winged Tiger Clan, who has already set foot into Saint Level.”

“Unfortunately, cultivating the bloodline path and attempting to break through to Saint Level is practically impossible; one misstep could lead to a conflict and loss of control over one’s bloodline,” Su Nan shook his head.

The peak of Emperor-level is already the limit of the Bloodline Path.

So far, even though he is a long way from Saint Level, he has vaguely come to understand why the Bloodline Path becomes harder to advance as one progresses further.

The bloodline, although seemingly fused with the martial artist to become a part of them, is merely achieving mutual success.

At a low level, the bloodline has no peculiarities, but as one’s realm grows and the bloodline strengthens, it gradually gains the strength to resist the martial artist’s control.

This is much like a child; during childhood, parents can scold and punish at will, but as the child grows and matures, it becomes not so easy to do as they please.

By the King Level, the bloodline already possesses a strength that is beyond the control of the martial artist; one can imagine what it would be like to reach the Emperor Level.

Maintaining control without losing it is already commendable—how could one possibly make a breakthrough to Saint Level?

“Among the player factions in Tianjue Province, the largest is the Angel Alliance, officially established by the United States.”

“Besides the number one ranked Liu Di, the other players ranked in the top five of Tianjue Province are all from the Angel Alliance; they are truly the dominant force.”

“As for the demon clan Influences, unlike in East Chen where the demons of the Hundred Clans vie for supremacy through the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, and ordinary days see no one obeying anyone else apart from the Demon Monarch.”

“In contrast, the demon clan of Tianjue Province resembles an empire, with every demon under the control of a clan known as the Instant Moth, and the Demon Monarch of Tianjue Province also being the ancestor of the Instant Moth.”

After an hour of gathering information, Su Nan finally had a reasonable understanding of Tianjue Province.

As the once-core land of the human race, Tianjue Province covered a vast area. Though not the largest of the Twelve States, it ranked in the top three.

Moreover, it had the largest human population among the Twelve States—a place truly blessed with outstanding people and splendid land.

“Instant Moth? Why haven’t I heard of this clan before?” Su Nan quickly sifted through his mind for information about this clan.

Eventually, he was astonished to find that there was no such clan among the Ancient Hundred Clans he knew of!

This was strange.

“Could it have risen after the Ancients?” he thought of a possibility.

After the Ancient Times, some once-great clans declined, while some smaller clans seized the opportunity to become major clans.

Especially since the Demon Monarch of Tianjue Province was an ancestor of the Instant Moth Clan.

With a Demon Monarch as their ancestor, even if the Instant Moth Clan only had a few clan members to begin with, over tens of thousands of years of development, they would have certainly become a formidable power.

If someone told him the so-called Instant Moth Clan emerged after the Ancient Times, Su Nan would believe it.

Thinking further about the Instant Moth Clan’s Racial Talent, a glint appeared in his eyes.

“This Instant Moth Clan actually possesses the power of time!” Su Nan was astonished.

According to information on the forum, some players had seen records in the ancient books of Shenxue Gate, one of the three great human Influences of Tianjue Province.

The Racial Talent of the Instant Moth Clan was named “Eternal Instant,” capable of stopping the flow of time around a person—a truly terrifying ability!

“Possessing such a talent, they should have been impossible to miss among the Ancient Hundred Clans—what in the world is going on?” he grew more curious.

He had a vague premonition that there was nothing simple about the Instant Moth Clan.

Continuing to peruse through the numerous forum posts, he specifically looked for information pertaining to the “Ancient Desolate Ruins.”

In his previous foreknowledge, it was in these so-called “Ancient Desolate Ruins” that the people from Destiny Society appeared.

However, with so many forum posts to go through, he searched for a while and didn’t find the information he wanted.

After consideration, he attempted a direct search to see if he could find information related to the Ancient Desolate Ruins.

The tactic was effective.

With the search, a bunch of posts with the keywords “Ancient Desolate Ruins” came up; of course, the vast majority were useless spam posts.

Like sifting through trash, Su Nan spent half a day digging through these posts and finally found some useful information.

“The Ancient Desolate Ruins are the remains left by the great sect of ancient times, the Ancient Wilderness Sect. Legend has it that in an attempt to break through to a certain legendary realm, the sect master used a Taboo Method to force the breakthrough, resulting in a curse from Heaven and Earth.”
