Chapter 277: Swallowed Spiritual Insight

The head of the Wang family doesn't want to share information with you. Instead, he wants to exchange the ancient god key you have in your possession. You refuse, and eventually, the head of the Wang family tells you that there might be a way to leave this world within the ancient god tomb.

However, the ancient god tomb is fraught with danger, and despite several attempts by the major families and the Great Xuan Royal Clan, they have been unable to enter the true core area and have suffered heavy losses each time.

If it weren't for the fact that after each opening of the ancient god tomb, the major families would hand the ancient god keys to other clan members to take back, these keys would have been lost long ago.

"Leave this world?" Su Nan was surprised; this was something he hadn't expected. He had originally thought that the way to leave this world would be within the Death Sands Sea, as the entrance was there, so the exit might be there as well. Could it be that Du Qi Yuan had left through the ancient god tomb?

"You discuss with the head of the Wang family and plan to cooperate with the other major families to open the ancient god tomb once again. After careful consideration, the head of the Wang family agrees to your invitation, but the Wang family only has one key. To open the ancient god tomb, you will need to invite the other major families as well."

"Leaving the Wang family, you immediately go to the other four major families and invite them in the same way."

"At the same time, after exploring the Death Sands Sea for several hours, your avatar finally discovers something different. In the yellow sand not far from you, a stone is exposed."

"This is the only stone you've encountered during your long stay here, and upon closer examination, you realize that this stone has obvious signs of being artificially carved."

"Most of the stone is buried under the yellow sand; it's a stone pillar that's quite long and deeply buried underground. You suspect that what you're looking for may be beneath the yellow sand."

"You try to use Celestial Translocation to enter the yellow sand, but to your disappointment, Celestial Translocation is used, but you find no clues under the yellow sand."

"Eleven hours later, you have visited all five major families, but the process has not gone smoothly. The Zhang and Wu families do not plan to open the ancient god tomb; a century of comfort has made them lose their edge, and they are not willing to take risks."

"You have no choice but to temporarily give up and prepare to find another way."

"Not willing?" Su Nan furrowed his brow. Without the ancient god keys from these two families, he wouldn't be able to open the ancient god tomb.

Looking at the premonition, his expression grew serious. Premonition had predicted this, and the end was not far away. He wanted to see how he would be killed this time.

"Twelve hours later, three elders from the Li family came to the royal city and found you, asking for an explanation."

"You know that causing trouble in this royal city can easily lead to other troubles, so you insist that the deaths of the two Li family elders have nothing to do with you."

"The Li family doesn't believe your words, and the three elders take action, intending to take you away. You don't resist and let the three elders capture you, planning to take action after leaving the royal city."

"However, just as the Li family is about to take you out of the royal city, a team of guards from the Great Xuan Royal Clan stops you and demands that you hand over the ancient god key that once belonged to the Great Xuan Royal Clan."

"You are unwilling to hand over the ancient god key and have no choice but to take action. The guards are no match for you and are easily killed by you. The three elders of the Li family see your immense strength and realize there is a problem, so they choose to kill you here."

"Their battle attracts the attention of the Great Xuan Clan Lord, who becomes interested upon discovering that your strength far exceeds your peers and intends to capture you."

Seeing this, Su Nan understood how he died this time, and his expression darkened.

"The Great Xuan Clan Lord again! It's that Great Xuan Clan Lord!"

This was the fourth time he had died because of the Great Xuan Clan Lord. Su Nan understood that if he didn't find a way to deal with the Great Xuan Clan Lord, he would likely be restricted by the Great Xuan Clan Lord in every aspect of his life. He wouldn't be able to do anything freely.

"I wonder how many paper puppet monsters of the King-level pinnacle are with that Great Xuan Clan Lord."

Su Nan's mind started to race. In previous premonitions, even when he used Celestial Translocation to approach the Great Xuan Clan Lord, he was intercepted by the King-level pinnacle paper puppet monsters in the Great Xuan Clan Lord's entourage.

Now that he could use his avatar, if the Great Xuan Clan Lord had only one King-level pinnacle paper puppet monster with him, Su Nan could easily lure it away with his avatar before taking action.

Thinking this, Su Nan had a plan.

"However, now is not the time to continue with the premonitions."

If he continued to use premonitions like this, he would only have enough premonition uses for three times. Now he wanted to use ordinary premonitions to see how to find the lost Yao Pavilion.

As for the Great Xuan Clan Lord, Su Nan planned to wait until today when he practiced the Great Sun Golden Body Sutra and then use it to premonition together.

He looked at the interface and started premonition again.

"In this mountain range in front of you, there is a hidden Yao Pavilion from the past. To find that Yao Pavilion, you must start with the Yao creatures in this mountain range."

"You know that there is a spiritual Yao creature on the highest peak of this mountain range, and you plan to obtain relevant information about the Yao Pavilion from its mouth."

"Changing into various forms, you turn into a black eagle and soar into the sky. From high above, you faintly see a high peak in the south."

"You quickly head towards that peak, and a minute later, you have soared dozens of miles. Finally, that peak becomes clear in your eyes."

"Two minutes later, you get closer to the peak."

"Three minutes later, you arrive on top of the peak and change back to your original appearance."

"The first premonition ends. Do you want to continue?"

"Continue."

In the previous premonition, the spiritual Yao creature might not have revealed any information about the Yao Pavilion due to Su Nan being a human. This time, as a Yao, it should be different.

"You search in the mountains, and a minute later, you have not found the Yao creature."

"Two minutes later, you have searched half the mountain, but you still haven't found anything."

"Three minutes later, you have searched the entire mountain, but still, there is no sign of the Yao creature."

"The second premonition ends. Do you want to continue?"

"No results?"

"It seems that this Yao creature can really hide!"

Su Nan finally understood why he couldn't find the Yao creature in the first premonition. This Yao creature, despite its low cultivation level, had some tricks up its

 sleeve.

"Continue premonition!"

The third premonition begins.

The next premonitions were not particularly interesting, as Su Nan kept searching the mountain.

It wasn't until the fifth premonition that he finally had some success.

"Continuing to search has made you lose patience. Just as you began to doubt whether this mountain was the one you were looking for, an inconspicuous stone at the top of the mountain caught your attention."

"Stone? A stone-formed Yao creature?" Su Nan was surprised. Although he had heard of plant and stone-formed Yao creatures before, this was the first time he had encountered one.

"The stone isn't large and looks ordinary, but you notice that there are traces of movement under the stone, which are slightly different from the rocks buried in the soil for years."

"You approach the stone carefully and, as you focus on it, the stone finally stops hiding and transforms into the appearance of an old man."

"The old man asks you where you are from, and you reply that you have always lived in the Meteorite Mountain, hiding in the dark to cultivate. It's only now that you've broken through to the Profound level that you dare to show yourself."

"The old man doesn't doubt your identity and continues to ask what you're doing here."

"You tell the old man that you occasionally heard from other Yao creatures that there used to be a powerful Yao Pavilion among the Yao clan. You're curious and want to know if the rumors are true and where that Yao Pavilion is."

"The old man doesn't hide anything and tells you that the Yao Pavilion does indeed exist. However, after the great battle back then, the Yao clan suffered heavy losses. At that time, the only surviving Yao King used a treasure to save the Yao clan and keep it going. He sent most of the remaining Yao creatures into that treasure, which became a separate space. Since then, the Yao Pavilion has disappeared."

"Space treasure!" Su Nan suddenly understood. If the Yao Pavilion used a space treasure similar to his Water and Land Gourd, it could allow many Yao creatures to reproduce and thrive inside. However, it was clear that even after hundreds of years, the Yao Pavilion had not regained its former glory, or else it would have reappeared by now.

Of course, it was also possible that after the battle, the Yao clan had completely realized the power of the Great Xuan Kingdom and knew that they couldn't appear again without the strength to deal with the Great Xuan Kingdom. Therefore, they chose not to reappear until they had the power to do so.

"Anyway, it's time to end the premonition!"

If he continued to use premonitions like this, he would only have enough premonition uses for three times. Now he wanted to use ordinary premonitions to see how to find the lost Yao Pavilion.

As for the Great Xuan Clan Lord, Su Nan planned to wait until today when he practiced the Great Sun Golden Body Sutra and then use it to premonition together.

He looked at the interface and started premonition again.

Chapter 277: Swallowed Spiritual Insight

"You inquire of the old man, how can you enter the Yao Pavilion?"

"The old man tells you that he is the guide for the Yao Pavilion in the outside world. The entrance to the Yao Pavilion is actually in the void about ten meters above this mountain peak. However, to enter the Yao Pavilion, you need to wait for a specific time."

"To enter the Yao Pavilion, you need to wait until the fifteenth day of this month, on the night of the full moon, guided by the old man, and only then will the entrance to the Yao Pavilion appear."

"The fifth premonition ends. Do you want to continue?"

"This month, the fifteenth day?"

Su Nan frowned and couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky that had not yet disappeared.

He could see that the moon was now only half full.

Although he didn't know what day it was today, from the shape of the moon, he could tell that it was at least about seven days away from the fifteenth day!

Seven days was too long; he couldn't afford to wait.

"Continue."

"Learning that you need to wait for several days to enter the Yao Pavilion, you immediately ask the old man if there are any other methods."

"The old man shakes his head and tells you that there is no other way outside of this."

"You are unwilling to wait for such a long time and decide to try to forcibly open the entrance to the Yao Pavilion."

"You use the power of fire to strike towards the empty space ten meters above the mountain peak. Seeing your intentions, the old man is shocked and tries to stop you, but is heavily injured by your use of soul power and falls into a coma."

"The power of fire explodes in the air, and to your disappointment, there is no unusual occurrence in the air. You continue to infuse your elemental power into the power of fire and continue to strike."

"After three consecutive strikes, there is still no change in the air, and just as you are about to give up, you suddenly feel a slight tremor from the Water and Land Gourd inside your body."

"Hmm? The Water and Land Gourd is reacting, what's going on?"

Su Nan was curious and immediately continued to observe.

"The movement of the Water and Land Gourd catches your attention, and you immediately release the Water and Land Gourd. However, at this moment, the Water and Land Gourd has returned to normal and there is no more unusual behavior."

"You release the Grand Princess and ask her what happened to the Water and Land Gourd just now. The Grand Princess tells you that just now, she sensed a slight increase in the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi inside the Water and Land Gourd."

"You don't know that, under your continuous bombardment, a hidden crack has been created in the space where the Yao Pavilion is located, causing the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi inside the Yao Pavilion space to leak out and be devoured by your Water and Land Gourd."

"Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi!"

"The space where the Yao Pavilion is located actually contains Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi?"

"And the Water and Land Gourd can actually devour this Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi?"

Su Nan was amazed.

Having Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi meant that the space where the Yao Pavilion was located was likely not just an ordinary space, but perhaps a small world similar to the Water and Land Gourd!

It was worth noting that this lost place did not have Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, but the space where the Yao Pavilion was located did, which was obviously abnormal.

"Could it be that the Water and Land Gourd can devour the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi generated by similar treasures?"

Su Nan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Eastern Star Zone also had Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, and after this open beta, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi had greatly increased. However, the Water and Land Gourd did not show any signs of devouring Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.

This indicated that the Water and Land Gourd could not devour all types of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.

"Although I don't know the specifics, I guess that the change in the Water and Land Gourd is definitely related to my bombardment of the entrance to the Yao Pavilion space."

"You decide to continue your efforts, using both your racial talent, Starlight Abyssal Body, and the Domain of Destruction at the same time. With the support of the Starlight Abyssal Body, the power of your Domain of Destruction surges, and the power of the heavens and the earth within a radius of a thousand kilometers comes rushing towards the entrance to the Yao Pavilion."

"Strangely, in the face of your full-strength attack, there is still no change in the air, and your Water and Land Gourd does not tremble again."

"The Grand Princess also tries to help you open the entrance, but ultimately fails."

"You don't know that the moment you attacked the entrance to the Yao Pavilion, the Yao King inside the Yao Pavilion had already sensed the anomaly. With the Yao King's power, the Yao Pavilion space was strengthened, and your strength was far from enough to break open the entrance."

"A Yao King inside the Yao Pavilion?"

Su Nan frowned again, feeling helpless.

The premonition ended, and he didn't continue to premonition because it was no longer necessary.

The premonition had already clearly told him that with his current strength, he couldn't possibly break open the entrance to the Yao Pavilion space guarded by the Yao King.

"Well, I can only wait for seven days to come back."

Transforming back into a flying bird, Su Nan left the Meteorite Mountain.

"Master, where did you go?"

In the inn, Chen Ying saw Su Nan reappear and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, to the Great Xuan Royal City."

"Alright, Master."

Although Chen Ying was curious and didn't understand why Su Nan, who had just arrived at Meteorite Mountain last night, was leaving now, she didn't ask too many questions.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Nan headed towards the Great Xuan Royal City.

In the previous premonition, he had controlled his avatar to go to the Death Sands Sea, and he did have that idea, but now he wasn't in a hurry.

He still wanted to try if he could use his avatar to kill the Great Xuan Clan Lord.

Time passed, and an hour later, it was already eight o'clock.

The Twelve Constellation Palace had opened again.
