Cave Part 2

[Two minutes later, you checked all jade boxes but found nothing valuable.] [You felt extremely disappointed and decided to leave the room first, then explore other places. However, it is only then that you realize that the stone door of the stone chamber can’t be opened either.]
[You tried your best to break the stone door, but after three minutes, it remained intact, and you’re trapped in the stone chamber!]
[The first premonition has ended, would you like to continue?]
“No!”
Without hesitation, Su Nan chose to stop the premonition.
He was not disappointed that the first premonition ended with him being trapped, as long as he could get inside the stone hall, everything else can be worked out.
He still had many times for premonitions so he could try again and again. As long as there were nice things in the stone hall, he was confident in obtaining them.
[Using Across the Heavens Shift, you find yourself in the grand hall of a palace. It catches your eye immediately: right in front of you, a stone figure of an old man is sitting cross-legged.]
[Sensing your arrival, the stone figure of the old man opens his eyes and congratulates you on becoming the first disciple to pass his test and having the opportunity to inherit;
You are extremely cautious and try to converse with the old man. After a short while, you learned that the stone figure was created to represent the true owner of the cave mansion and is responsible for waiting for the inheritor who passes the trial.]
[As the first disciple to pass the trial at the three trial grounds, you are qualified to receive the inheritance.]
“The final inheritance is finally here.”
Su Nan was overjoyed.
However, the content of the following premonition made his face turn sour instantly.
[You approach the old man, ready to receive his inheritance.]
[But at this moment, the old man notices something, his face suddenly turns gloomy, and he questions you with a heavy tone: Why could you find the trial grounds without being his disciple? How could you enter the Cave Celestial Palace?]
[You are puzzled by the old man’s reaction; before you could ask, he suddenly attacks you.]
[You are dead.]
“Not being his disciple, I can’t receive the inheritance?”
“There’s actually such a restriction!”
Su Nan’s face darkened.
He initially thought he could secure the inheritance now that he had obtained the spiritual items and was the first to pass the trial, but he didn’t expect such a limitation in the end.
“If I hadn’t become his disciple, I wouldn’t have found the trial grounds. Since Qian Yu found them, does that mean he’s the ancient powerhouse’s disciple?” Su Nan quickly pondered.
He could almost instantly confirm that Qian Yu must have triggered an mainline task related to the cave mansion, thus becoming the ancient powerhouse’s disciple.
“Mainline Task, huh?”
“It seems that if I want to get the inheritance, I have to deal with Qian Yu.”
Su Nan murmured, and after a brief pondering, a plan came to his mind.
If Zhou Cheng’s task about inheritance hadn’t been completed yet, he could use the Mainline Quest Replication Card to copy it.
Copying a mainline task wouldn’t make him the ancient powerhouse’s disciple directly, but it doesn’t matter. Worst case, he’d start from the first step and complete the whole quest.
With that decision, he waited for the premonition to end and tried again.
He wanted to see if he could enter other stone chambers in the palace.
If he couldn’t get the inheritance, he naturally wanted to see if he could bypass the old man and obtain other treasures in the palace.
Next, Su Nan foresaw multiple times in succession.
In his third premonition, he entered an empty stone chamber and got trapped to death inside.
In his fourth premonition, he appeared in the grand hall and was killed by the stone figure of the old man.
In his fifth premonition, he entered an alchemy room, which did have a lot of once-spiritual pills inside, yet were no longer useful, like the spiritual grass stored in the first stone chamber.
After more than ten premonitions in a row, he was let down by every outcome.
Although he discovered a few items, they had all lost their original function due to their age.
“Should I just leave like this?”
Su Nan was a bit unwilling.
Despite having acquired three spiritual items during this trip, which was a huge harvest, not getting the final treasures made him feel resentful.
“What if I use my available fortune here?”
Upon viewing the available fortune on his panel, Su Nan suddenly had an idea.
At first, when he found out about the ancient cave mansion, he had thought about actively using his Qi Luck inside the mansion. However, after hatching the Dragon Turtle, his Qi Luck had increased greatly, so there was no need for him to actively trigger it.
Now, having found nothing in this palace where an ancient powerhouse once lived, he thought about using his Qi Luck again.
He now had 104. Available Qi Luck points, enough to trigger a Rare-Level adventure event.
“Unfortunately, to actively use Qi Luck, you need to use the game interface. I can’t try it in my foreknowledge. Otherwise, I could give it a shot.”
Without much hesitation, Su Nan looked at the Available Qi Luck points and decisively chose to use them.
[Do you want to consume 100 Qi Luck points to trigger a Rare-Level adventure event?]
“Yes!”
[A Rare-Level adventure event has been triggered. Please enter the cave beneath the Cave Celestial Palace, 1,500 meters underground, five hours later.] “An underground cavern beneath the Cave Celestial Palace?”
Su Nan was surprised. He originally thought that this Qi Luck would help him find something useful from the Cave Celestial Palace, but he hadn’t expected it to ask him to go underground.
His Across the Heavens Shift could teleport him up to 2,000 meters, but it was still quite difficult to accurately enter the ground at a depth of 1,500 meters.
The greater the distance to the places he has never been to, the greater the deviation.
However, to his surprise, during his foreknowledge, he successfully entered the cave in one attempt.
[You know that there might be treasures 1,500 meters underground in the palace before you. You decisively use the Across the Heavens Shift, and the next moment, you appear in a cave.]
[This cave is vast, with many branching paths, intricate and complex. You walk through the cave, exploring ahead.]
[A minute later, you haven’t found any strange places and continue to search forward.]
[Two minutes later, you suddenly see a deep pit with a diameter of 10 meters. At the bottom of the pit is a huge array disk engraved with runes.]
[You are unaware that this is a formation that was once used to suppress demon beasts.]
“A demon beast! There’s a suppressed demonic beast under this palace!”
“What kind of fortune is this?”
Su Nan frowned, wanting to avoid anything related to demon beasts instead of getting involved with them.
Now, the adventure event points to such a place, which made Su Nan hesitate whether to continue exploring.
[You examine the array disk carefully and find that it is covered with cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.]
[You don’t act rashly to study the array disk, but choose to continue searching in the cave instead.]
[Three minutes later, you’ve searched the entire cave, and besides the array disk, there’s nothing else to discover.]
“Just an array disk? Looks like my fortunate encounter is on that array disk.”
“The game prompt suggests that I should return in five hours. That would mean something different is going to happen here in five hours.”
“In that case, just wait for five hours then.”
Looking at the time, it was now midnight.
Unfortunately, his avatar, Zhang Yang, was still on the way to the Red Mountain Prefecture, so he couldn’t log out of the game to rest now.
If he logged out now, his avatar Zhang Yang would have no one controlling it and wouldn’t be able to continue his journey, thus exposing himself.
Su Nan waited in silence.
Having nothing to do, he opened the regional chat and looked at it.
“Even God Zhang Yang is participating in this operation. Deity Wang Nan has a slim chance of success this time.”
“What on earth has Deity Wang Nan done to provoke so many gods to join forces against him?”
“Who knows, I heard that the whole thing was organized by the two gods Qian Yu and Zhou Cheng. Moreover, to lure Deity Wang Nan, God Qian Yu even used an ancient cave mansion as bait.”
As soon as the regional chat opened, Su Nan saw numerous discussions about several guilds preparing to take action against him.
“The news spreads so fast.” Su Nan sighed.
After looking carefully for a while, he found that quite a few people were ready to take action against him this time.
In addition to Zhou Cheng and others from Tianyun County and Qian Yu from Red Mountain Prefecture, there were also player forces from the adjacent Fengshai Province.
Among the most famous was Zhuang Bin, who had recently made a name for himself on the Contribution Leaderboard, ranking fourth.
“Come on! All of you, come! Let me kill enough in one go!”
Time passed.
Fives hours went by in a blink.
By now, the team that set off from Tianyun County had already entered Red Mountain Prefecture, and it wouldn’t be long before they reached Hongyan Town, where the ancient cave mansion was located.
In the Secret Land, Su Nan looked at his foreknowledge again..
