    “[You are eager to hunt the demon in cell 42, but the presence in cell 30 hinders your steps.]


    [You fear no hardships and set out again, hoping to find the right opportunity.]


    [This time you are lucky, for as you pass cell No. 30, you are not killed by the power that seems to have escaped it.]


    [You sessfully arrive at cell 42.]


    ‘I’ve made it through! I actually passed cell No. 30!’


    Words on the panel were quickly shing by, Su Nan was at first stunned and then overjoyed.


    He was originally prepared for a long-term battle with cell No. 30. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he only needed three of his four daily foreknowledge opportunities to seed.


    ‘Zhou Lingyin said that I could gain a chance in cell No. 30, but I wonder what that chance could be?’


    Su Nan couldn’t wait any longer, but one thing was certain: he now had a chance toplete his three-star task.


    That was worth 15 Demon Points, the equivalent of doing three two-star daily tasks or 15 one-star tasks!


    [Upon entering cell 42, you are greeted by the foul fangs of a demon.]


    [Your instincts and preparedness, help you easily dodge the bite, but thenes a barrage of ws.]


    [This is a demon with speed as its main attribute, and you can only defend while looking for a chance to counterattack.]


    [Three breathster, you find an opportunity to counterattack; you start fighting back, but, unfortunately, the demon is too fast, dodging most of your attacks.]


    [You struggle in the fight, feeling frustrated that despite your superior strength, you always fall short of inflicting serious damage on your opponent.]


    [Eventually, after two minutes of attrition, your speed gradually slows down. The demon seizes this opportunity and tears your throat with a single strike.]


    [You are dead.]


    [Before dying, you realize that if only you had a little more strength or speed, you could have hunted down the demon.]


    The foreknowledge ends with death, but Su Nan is not disappointed.


    The purpose of this foreknowledge has been achieved. As long as he can enter cell No. 30 andplete the task there, the demon in cell 42 will be like fish on a chopping board.


    The reward of 15 Demon Points would be enough for him to raise the Iron Ape Sutra to Perfection.


    “I still have one more foreknowledge opportunity. This time I’ll foresee entering cell No. 30.”


    Although he is confident that the powerful person inside cell No. 30 has temporarily escaped the control of evil energies and regained their sanity, the task is still a three-star one and he dares not gamble.


    The foreknowledge begins.


    [Cell No. 30 is very dangerous, and you know you may die inside, but you fear no danger and decide to explore cell No. 30.]


    [You sessfully arrive at cell No. 30, using the Kun Tian Key to unlock the prison door. As the door is opened, an instant, intense aura of death stares at you from a pair of ancient and cloudy eyes.]


    [You see a disheveled old man sitting in a corner of the cell on one side, looking weak and as if he’s nearing the end of his life.]


    [You immediately take out the identity jade representing Zhou Lingyin and greet the old man on her behalf. The old man recognizes the jade and his eyes slowly soften.]


    [You boldly try to enter the cell. The old man does not attack you, but neither does he pay attention to you.]


    [You try tomunicate with the old man. However, he seems not to hear, giving no response.]


    [You won’t give up. If you can’tmunicate with the old man, you won’t be able to gain any benefit from him.]


    [In order to attract the old man’s attention, you say outright that you are an Outsider.]


    [The old man’s eyes reveal surprise. He nces at you but then loses interest.]


    “He’s so cold. This doesn’t move him at all?”


    Watching this, Su Nan couldn’t help it.


    Last time, when he faced Zhou Lingyin and revealed that he was an Outsider, her attitude changed quickly.


    This tactic had only mildly surprised the old man.


    It is evident that while Su Nan’s identity as an Outsider may be mysterious, it does not hold much weight for some people.


    Or, his identity as an Outsider is not enough to interest the old man.


    [You try various methods tomunicate with the old man, but he still ignores you. With no other options, you decide to go back and consult Zhou Lingyin.]


    [Just as you are about to leave the cell, the old man suddenly notices something, andes to your side. He ces a hand on your head, probing a certain force within you.]


    [Congrattions, the Technique Seeds in your body caught the old man’s attention. He bes interested in you and inquires how you acquired them.]


    ‘Technique Seeds?’


    Su Nan is both surprised and delighted.


    The Technique Seeds were the reward he received forpleting a four-star novice task. They have remained dormant within him since he acquired them, as he has not yet found a method to activate them.


    He never imagined that this very thing would reveal its usefulness here.


    [You don’t hide the origin of the Technique Seeds.]


    [After hearing your brief ount, the old man finally shows an incredulous expression. He takes out a yellow golden booklet, silent for a moment.]


    [The old man tells you that the booklet contains an ancient scripture passed down from ancient times, which records a powerful forbidden technique.]


    [Unfortunately, with the copse of the ancient world and the great changes in Heaven and Earth, the ancient scripture, while still preserved and coincidentally acquired by the old man, is no longer viable for cultivation.]


    [Your Technique Seeds are also a product of ancient times. Although a few still remain in this world, they are simrly unreachable and unactivated like the once-powerful technique.]


    [As an Outsider, being able to receive the Technique Seeds’ approval causes the old man to see the possibility of cultivating the ancient scripture in you. He decides to give you the golden booklet.]


    Text messages rapidly jump across the screen, and in the blink of an eye, the three minutes allocated to foreknowledge has passed. The foreknowledge ends here.


    ‘An ancient scripture?’


    ‘Is this my destined opportunity?’


    Su Nan is shocked. Even if he doesn’t know what kind of secret technique is recorded, the title itself is awe-inspiring.


    At the very least, he can confirm that the value of this item exceeds his imagination.


    No longer hesitating, he eagerly heads for cell No. 30.


    Following the events of his foreknowledge, Su Nan immediately took out Zhou Lingyin’s identity jade card as he opened the door to cell No. 30.


    What happened next mirrored the events in his foreknowledge; at first, he did not attract the old man’s attention.


    It wasn’t until he was about to leave that the old man noticed the Techniques Seeds within him.


    In the end, the old man gave him the golden booklet.


    “Is this the ancient gold scroll that records secret techniques?” Holding the one-finger-thick golden booklet in his hand, Su Nan’s heart trembled.


    [Ancient Gold Scroll: Mythical Item, used to record secret techniques in ancient times. This scroll records a scripture called Life Wheel Scripture. After using it, you will acquire the method to cultivate the Life Wheel Scripture. Do you want to use it now?]
