supreme-rulerhood 2

Translator: 549690339

Not wasting a moment, the task panel materialized before my eyes. On Lang Thirteen’s task panel, apart from the mainline task named “Wrath of the Demon Monarch”, there finally appeared a second mainline task.

[Mainline Task: Nine Ranks to Ascend to supreme-rulerhood]

[The Divine Dao divides into nine grades, through the nine grades one can ascend to supreme-rulerhood. Numerous eons ago, there existed a Divine Dynasty that established its nation using the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path, it was invincible in its time, power suppressing generations.]

[Regretfully, a great war in the past led to the destruction of the Divine Dynasty and the interruption of the Divine Dao’s path. You, who have condensed a second-grade Divine Seal, became the only person in this era to possess a Divine Seal. You have preliminarily possessed the qualifications to climb the path to supreme-rulerhood.]

[First Stage of the Task: Advance your Divine Seal to the fourth grade.]

[Task Difficulty: Four-star]

[Task Reward: Xuan-Level Bloodline, Xuan-Level Monster Scripture, 60 points of Demon Power, Divine Dao Secret Techniques]

[Hint: The level of this task will change with the player’s rise in realm.]

“Nine Ranks to Ascend to supreme-rulerhood? This is compelling me to cultivate the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path!”

Facing the task, Su Nan didn’t rejoice but wore a serious expression.

The path of the Divine Dao was peculiar, even more dangerous than the Bloodline Path. The once flourishing Daxuan Dynasty collapsed within a short time due to the harms of the Divine Dao’s path.

The reason he dared to cultivate the Method for Refining Divine Dao Ritual Artifacts was purely because it seemed, to him, that this Secret Technique did not involve the core of the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path.

But now it appears that since he obtained the Method for Refining Divine Dao Ritual Artifacts, he had already begun to connect with the Qi Luck of the Divine Dao.

Later, having cultivated the Method for Refining Divine Dao Ritual Artifacts he had willingly stepped on to this path. Now, having condensed a Second-grade Divine Seal, he had wholly stepped onto the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path.

He didn’t know whether this was because he was influenced by the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path’s Luck, but he was certain that if he continues down this path, his connection with the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path would only deepen. Su Nan’s face shifted, with his heart trembling towards the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path. He didn’t want, like those martial artists of the former Daxuan Dynasty, all his efforts to be in vain and disappear in a flash.

But now, the appearance of the task and the condensation of the Divine Seal made him hesitant.

That’s not right, judging from the images before the Earth Official and Stove King’s deaths, those who had cultivated the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path were in a controllable range, despite the weird changes occurring just before their deaths.”

“Not only did they not lose their sanity, their power surged instead. Does this imply that, countless eons ago, the deficiencies of the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path weren’t as massive as imagined, that it was controllable, or even resolvable?”

Thinking about the images he saw from the three Divine Seals, Su Nan’s eyes shone. y

If the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path could develop to extraordinary heights in the past, it wouldn’t have encountered problems so easily.

This suggested that, perhaps after the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom of supreme-rulers Dynasty, some of the methods of cultivating the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path were lost, leading to the subsequent problems. Just like after the collapse of the Daxuan Dynasty, the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path’s cultivation methods became forbidden, and nobody dared touch them.

Of course, other possibilities were not excluded.

The foreknowledge had suggested before that this was a cursed path. Perhaps the transformations of the Daxuan Dynasty’s cultivators could be related to the curse.

“If that’s really the case, it indicates that the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path was indeed possible to traverse in the past. Then, there’s no reason why I can’t walk on this path now.”

Su Nan’s heart stirred.

As long as the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path didn’t have inherent flaws, then maybe he could find a solution.

While others might deem this impossible, with the help of the game interface, it wasn’t impossible for him.

“Furthermore, the Bloodline Path has its issues as well. Plus, I’m getting closer and closer to these problems. According to that governor from Tianyun County, once I enter the Xuan-level range, for every bloodline I merge, the probability of losing control will double.”

“If the Bloodline Path really stagnates because of this, then cultivating the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path might be an alternative.”

Su Nan’s train of thought sped up, analyzing the pros and cons of cultivating the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path in an instant.

The Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path was powerful, this was undeniable. If he cultivated the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path, there would undoubtedly be substantial improvement to his strength.

Thinking about this, Su Nan was somewhat moved.

Looking again at the task’s description, he was struck by a thought. “The task mentions that I am the only person in this era who cultivates the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path. Could it be that the reason I was entangled by ancient temples was that I was the only person possessing the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path’s Luck?”

Recalling his previous experiences, Su Nan became suspicious.

This was highly probable. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for him to encounter problems as soon as he arrived in the Divine Ruins, while others didn’t notice anything abnormal.

“The first stage is already four-star level. The difficulty of this task is indeed at no ordinary level!”

“Moreover, the task difficulty will change along with my rise in realm. This is the first time I’ve seen such a task!”

He obtained three first-grade Divine Seals, which condensed to form a second-grade Divine Seal.

If three similar second-grade Divine Seals could condense to form a third-grade Divine Seal, he would still need to acquire a total of nine first-grade Divine Seals!

Nine first-grade Divine Seals, meaning he has to kill nine King-level Offering supreme-ruler Demons!

This is only for condensing a third-grade Divine Seal, if he wants to condense a four-star one, the quantity needs to be tripled!

Thinking about it makes Su Nan feel overwhelmed.

The good thing is, this is a task without a time limit.

In this way, whether he can complete this task, and when he is going to complete it, all depend on his luck.

“Let’s go, there’s nothing left here.”

Su Nan and the Great Princess left the ancient temple.

Just as he left the ancient temple, the notification of Lang Thirteen’s task completion popped up again:

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Explore any two ancient temples”, 4.5 Demon power points have been awarded.]

[Current available demon power: 221 points.]

His demonic power could easily upgrade one Xuan-Level Bloodline to Great Perfection, but Su Nan didn’t do so.

He had only upgraded two roles to Xuan-level yesterday. If he upgraded his bloodline to Great Perfection today, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion.

At the very least, he’s thinking of upgrading this character, Wang Nan, to Xuan-level first.

“Earth Official, Stove King, River Earl, these are supreme positions in folklore. It seems that the cultivation of the Incense Divine Path is inseparable from these supreme posts.”

“If that’s the case, in the previous Death’s Foresight, I was wearing festive wedding clothes in the temple. Does this mean the temple is presided over by the Joyful Deity, who is in charge of happy events?”

Having experienced two ancient temples, and according to the information given by Death’s Foresight, he will encounter a temple next.

Su Nan had to start paying attention to the temple issue.

His avatar was still ahead clearing the way, and the information from

Foresight kept popping up rapidly.

Su Nan looked at the Foresight information while turning to the Great Princess and asked:

“Princess, after passing this ancient temple, we will encounter a temple. It is very likely the same one where you were critically injured last time. How much do you know about that temple?”

Temple? How do you know we’re going to encounter a temple?”

The Great Princess gazed at Su Nan with questions in her eyes.

All along the way, she had long noticed Su Nan’s extraordinary actions.

Su Nan had been leading her round and round, not always going forward. Yet except for the beginning, they hadn’t encountered any Soul-eating Demons, ’ which was simply unbelievable.

If it happened once or twice, it could be luck. But now, she was sure that Su

Nan had some way of avoiding danger.

“The temple that severely injured me was very strange. If we’re really going to encounter that temple next, I suggest you find a way to avoid it. If you can’t, then we must stop immediately.”

Thinking about the temple that had injured her severely, the Great Princess

had an extremely solemn expression.

Seeing the Great Princess like this, Su Nan also became serious: “What was there in that temple?”

The Great Princess stopped walking, speaking in a deep voice: “Soul-eating Demons, Corpse Puppets! There are a lot of Soul-eating Demons and Corpse Puppets there!”

“Corpse Puppets? What are those?” Su Nan was curious. It was normal to have Soul-eating Demons, but he had never heard of Corpse Puppets. He couldn’t help but think of the Paper Puppet Demon.

In his Foresight, a Paper Puppet Demon appeared. Now, the Great Princess told him there were Corpse Puppets. This made Su Nan instantly connect the two.

The Great Princess didn’t answer directly, but asked in return: “Do you know what happened to those martial artists who entered these ancient temples, had their Divine Souls swallowed, and what was their final fate?”

Final fate?

Remembering the information in his Foresight, Su Nan instantly understood what the Great Princess meant by Corpse Puppets.

“Are you saying those Corpse Puppets are the walking dead who had their Divine Souls devoured?”

“Exactly!” the Great Princess nodded.

“This Divine Ruins has existed for countless years, and countless humans and demons have entered this place, including many powerful beings at the King or even Emperor level.”

“That’s not all, there is a strange power in that temple, which seems to be some kind of rule.”

“Rule?” Su Nan was surprised.

As they were speaking, on his interface, the Foresight information showed that his avatar had already arrived in front of the temple..
