Chapter 300 - 181: Acquiring the Incense Burner_2
What does this mean?
It means that as long as the distance is enough, he can indeed ignore the spiritual pull of the incense burner!
This time, he still died because the distance wasn’t far enough!
“Since that’s the case, I will go even further.”
Su Nan went straight to the west.
Over twenty minutes later, he stopped at a distance of sixty to seventy miles from Tianyun City, and started his foreknowledge again.
The next seven foreknowledge events passed whilst travelling.
At the end of the seventh foreknowledge event, he finally returned to a spot near the City God Temple in Tianyun City.
[You use “Across the Heavens Shift” to directly enter the main hall of the City God Temple.]
[Your appearance immediately attracts the attention of the Paper Puppet Demon in the courtyard. Four Paper Puppet Demons are rapidly approaching the grand hall where you are.]
[You know that a strike from the demon is not enough to obliterate your avatar. You ignore the attack of the demon and continue to grab the incense burner.]
[The Power of Divine Soul of the demon is transformed into a great sword that pierces your avatar’s body. As you expected, your avatar is not killed in one hit.]
[At this moment, you finally touch the incense burner. Instantly, a terrifying pulling force emerges from the incense burner.)
[Fortunately, your true body is far enough from your avatar. The power of the incense burner is not enough to pull your main divine soul, and you successfully evade a disaster.]
“I did it!” Su Nan exclaimed happily.
Although he wasted more than ten foreknowledge opportunities, the result satisfied him.
As long as he can successfully get the incense burner, he can complete his four-star, first phase “Mystery of the Divine Dao” mission.
[You have grabbed the incense burner with your avatar. Your actions have not only thoroughly enraged the green-faced fanged monster but also triggered the wrath of the demons in the other two grand halls.]
[The doors of the two grand halls open, and two demons appeared before your sight. You react swiftly, grab the incense burner, and use “Across the Heavens Shift” to leave again.]
[The moment you take the incense burner and leave the City God Temple, the mysterious space constructed by the incense burner loses its power support and automatically retracts. The green-faced fanged monster, as the entity incubated by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, is also retracted by the incense burner at the same time.]
[Discovering that you have fled, the other two demons are furious. Unfortunately, as the products of the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, they cannot leave the artifact too far and can only roar angrily in the City God Temple constructed by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.]
[Congratulations on successfully getting a Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.]
“So that’s how it is, both the Paper Puppet Demon and the three Demon Kings are products of the incense burner’s incubation. They cannot leave the space constructed by the incense burner.”
“And the incense burner, in turn, has a close connection with the City God Temple and cannot leave the temple.”
“Once someone takes the incense burner out of the City God Temple, the space constructed by the incense burner will retract its incubated demons.”
A flash of understanding appeared in Su Nan’s eyes as he finally realized why the governor, despite the presence of three Demon Kings in the City God Temple, would turn a blind eye to them.
It wasn’t that the governor didn’t want to manage them; he simply couldn’t. And there was no need to.
The three demons, being immortal within the space constructed by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, leave the emperor-level powerhouse with no choice but to stay his hand against them, as they’re both powerful and hard to kill.
The foreknowledge hadn’t ended, and Su Nan chose to continue.
He wanted to see whether or not the incense burner would still pull his divine soul at close range after leaving the City God Temple.
After wasting several other foreknowledge opportunities, his true body and avatar reunited during the foreknowledge event.
He was relieved to find that after leaving the City God Temple, the incense burner seemed to have lost all its power, and it didn’t try to pull his divine soul again.
Even when Su Nan himself held it, there were no issues.
“That should be enough. It’s time to take action.”
An avatar appeared before him, ready to start the operation.
After thinking for a bit, he pulled out a Daily Task Refresh Card with a flip of his hand.
He planned to use the Refresh Card to refresh Wang Nan’s daily tasks.
That way, if the task to hunt down the Paper Puppet Demon comes up again, he can conveniently complete a three-star daily task.
Of course, the Refresh Card can’t be used now. He needs to wait until the avatar is about to reach the City God Temple and use the avatar to use it through spirit descent.
His current location, far from the City God Temple, was too far away. If he refreshed the tasks here, there would be a high chance that a pile of one-star tasks would come up again.
After confirming that everything was fine, he started controlling the avatar to take action.
About ten minutes later, the avatar arrived at a spot several hundred meters away from the City God Temple.
Once there, Su Nan didn’t control the avatar in the simplest way. Instead, he used the method of spirit descent.
Only in this way would the avatar have a character panel and be able to use the Task Refresh Card.
[Do you want to use a task refresh card to refresh today’s daily tasks?]
“Yes.”
[You have successfully used the daily task refresh card, and your daily tasks have been refreshed.]
[Daily Task 1: Hunt a Mortal-Level Demon]
[Daily Task 2: Hunt a Spirit-Level Monster]
[Daily Task 3: Hunt a Paper Puppet Demon]
The familiar tasks appeared again, and Su Nan retracted his Divine Soul, continuing to control his avatar to head to the City God Temple.
Two minutes later, a Paper Puppet Demon was killed by him.
30 Demon Power Points credited.
Outside Tianyun City, Su Nan immediately operates the Life Wheel Scripture to switch roles to Zhang Yang.
The “Mystery of the Divine Dao” mainline task belongs to Zhang Yang, so naturally, he has to complete it using Zhang Yang’s identity.
Without the Divine Soul’s descent, the avatar is essentially a tool, and this tool can be used by all three of Su Nan’s roles.
In such a situation, the tasks completed by the avatar naturally belong to the controlling role.
Only when the Divine Soul descends does the avatar’s role become fixed as Wang Nan.
In that case, the demon hunted down by the avatar and the task completed would only count as Wang Nan’s.
After the Paper Puppet Demon was killed by the avatar, a demon appeared in the main hall of the City God Temple. The avatar was no match for the demon and naturally would not engage with it.
As planned, he manipulated the avatar to use the Across the Heavens Shift, directly arriving in front of the incense burner in the main hall, and grabbed at the incense burner.
The situation that followed was completely the same as in the foreknowledge.
The avatar boldly endured a hit from the demon, grabbed the incense burner from the divine case, and then, before the other two demons could act, used the Across the Heavens Shift to leave the City God Temple again.
“Roar…”
The remaining two demons roared in anger, echoing throughout Tianyun City. The sound was piercing, and many people were awakened from their dreams.
“Who has provoked those ghosts again?” In the governor’s mansion, the county magistrate of Tianyun County suddenly got up and quickly headed for the City God Temple.
In a breath, he arrived at the City God Temple.
At this time, the City God Temple was in chaos because one of the Divine Dao ritual artifacts was taken, and the remaining two demons went berserk.
The two demons seemed to have used some method, and the strange space originally formed by the Divine Dao ritual artifact rapidly expanded.
In an instant, nearly a kilometer radius was engulfed.
Seeing this, the County Magistrate was astonished. He quickly realized that one demon was missing, and he wondered who had done this.
“You two ghost things, dare to disturb my Tianyun City!”
[Congratulations, you have completed the first phase of “The Mystery of the Divine Dao”, do you want your rewards immediately?]
Just as the avatar left the City God Temple with the incense burner, a prompt for task completion popped up in front of Su Nan.
“Claim it!”
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Spirit-Level Bloodline]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a Spirit-Level Demon Technique]
[Congratulations, you have obtained 45 Demon Power Points]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Refining Method of Divine Dao Ritual Artifact]
[The second phase of “The Mystery of the Divine Dao” task has been activated, please go to the task list to check.]
Without a chance to check the task rewards, he immediately controlled his avatar to quickly leave Tianyun City.
Over ten minutes later, the avatar returned to Su Nan with the incense burner.
Retracting his avatar, Su Nan took the incense burner to examine it.
[Incense Ritual Burner: A Divine Dao Ritual Artifact, one of the key instruments required for the cultivation of the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path in the Daxuan Dynasty. Having experienced a thousand years of incense offerings, a peculiar space has formed inside it and even bred a King-Level Sacrificial Demon.]
[Due to its removal from its place of worship and the loss of the power of incense to support it, the Incense Ritual Burner temporarily loses its due ability. A prosperous incense site can be found again to restore its ability.]
“A Sacrificial Demon? So those three demons are called Sacrifice God Demons.”
Su Nan was amazed, he had not expected such an exotic demon.
After inspecting the incense burner for a while and discovering nothing else, he finally took out the refining method of the ritual artifact of the Divine Dao that he had just rewarded to check..
