A Path of Heavenly Destiny_2 Chapter 857: 353: Mini Array Spirit Binds Ghost Infant!
A Bountiful Harvest!
A Path of Heavenly Destiny_2 Chen Dengming felt somewhat delighted upon seeing the bottles of Pure Soul Power that had been securely sealed and restrained.
This Pure Soul Power was naturally incomparable to a Nascent Soul’s Divine Spirit, but for the ghost man Chu Xun, it was absolutely sufficient.
Additionally, the storage bag contained over a dozen magic treasures that emitted a chilly ghostly aura.
...
Out of these, the aura emitted by two seemed to indicate that they were fourth-tier magic treasures.

The remaining dozen or so were third-tier magic treasures.
Besides the magic treasures, there were also seven or eight jade tokens and a scroll of a map.
Chen Dengming examined everything in great detail, along with the two storage bags from the elder of the Three Saints Palaces, carefully checking each item.
He took out some treasures he didn’t recognize and asked the all-knowing Ancestor for advice.
This Ancestor, known as the Longevity Taoist Lord, the founder of the Longevity Sect, had already lived for over five thousand years, possessing vast knowledge ranging from the Shattered Immortal Realm down to the Nether Spring and the Underground Mansion, with almost no treasures unknown to him.
Under the guidance of this living encyclopedia of the Cultivation World, Chen Dengming sorted out many items that were still of use to him.
!
A fourth-tier magic treasure from the elder of the Three Saints Palaces—the Beast Restrain Circle.
This treasure had an extremely strong controlling and subduing effect on Demonic Beasts, even capable of threatening Nascent Soul Demonic Beasts.
Back when Chen Dengming broke the neck of the Dragon Beast, if he had this Beast Restrain Circle to put around its neck, the evil dragon would have found it difficult to cause significant trouble.
A fourth-tier magic treasure from the Qianluo Ghost King—the White Bone Thousand Spirits Chariot.
This treasure held within it the souls of thousands, comparable to Foundation Establishment Ghost Cultivators, combined with the main souls of ten Golden Core Ghost Generals.
When driven, the chariot moved as swiftly as lightning, its Escape Speed surpassing that of ordinary fourth-tier small Spirit Boats, and was also capable of impacting a cultivator’s Divine Spirit, making it an exceptionally valuable relic.
Even if Chen Dengming did not use this chariot, dismantling it to extract soul power for refining arrows was extremely valuable for recycling purposes, effectively compensating for the Soul Fetching Bow and Rod’s lack of powerful Soul Arrows.
Beyond these, there were three other fourth-tier magic treasures and more than twenty third-tier magic treasures that were useless to Chen Dengming, or like the damaged Five Dragon Overbearing Hand, needed repairs before they could be used.
However, among these magic treasures, some could indeed be provided for the Mini Array Spirit, ghost man Chu Xun, and He Yingyu to use.
“Overall, I’ve only lost one Revival Pill and suffered some damage to the Seven Stars Mother-Son Luili Knife.
But in terms of gains, it was a huge harvest, mainly because Feng Qingbo gave me his share of the spoils…”
Chen Dengming calculated carefully, feeling secretly pleased.
The Seven Stars Mother-Son Luili Knife was, after all, only a top-tier third-tier magic treasure.
Now that he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, this newly acquired knife would soon need to be brought back to the forge for refurbishment and upgrading.
With so many magic treasures, those that he didn’t need could be traded, making him akin to a wealthy man among those at the Nascent Soul Stage, ensuring he wouldn’t return to his previous destitute existence.
Apart from the magic treasures, other noteworthy items included the currency from the Nether Spring that could replace Spirit Crystals in the form of the ‘Underworld River Water’ and ‘Yin Soil.’
A few types of Spiritual Material from realms beyond that even the Ancestor didn’t recognize.
These were rare treasures, regarded as precious commodities in the Cultivation World that money couldn’t buy.
Underworld River Water and Yin Soil were excellent for crafting Ghost Path magic treasures.
Among the dozen or so jade tokens and the map, the map was especially valuable as it recorded several paths from the Nether Spring to the Underground Mansion and included aspects of the geographical landscape below the Nether Spring, revealing a mysterious corner of the Underground Mansion.
As for the jade tokens, they contained a Dao practice that even Fierce Ghosts could cultivate, a secret transmission known as “Dark Thunder Ferocious Ghost Dao,” cultivated by generations of Ghost Monarchs in the Netherworld Ghost City to raise Ghost Generals.
Just what the ghost man Chu Xun needed, lacking a follow-up cultivation method and direction.
If he cultivated this Dao of ghostly practice, he would transform into a Dark Thunder Ferocious Ghost covered in black Yin Thunder, ferocious and intimidating.
Such Golden Core level Ferocious Ghosts, even within the Netherworld Ghost City, could rule as high commanders, and upon ascending to Nascent Soul, would possess the power to control Yin Thunder, targeting the Divine Spirits of mortals with astonishing combat might.
“You’ve just reached Nascent Soul and already possess the wealth of two well-established Nascent Souls.
You truly have profound blessing.
How fortunate indeed, your Martial Uncle wasn’t wrong about you!”
The Ancestor watched as Chen Dengming moved various treasures into his own storage bag, withdrawing the thought of giving his disciple a congratulatory gift for reaching Nascent Soul.
Too many good things could be a problem, lacking in trials and tribulations; better to give them later.
However, he had vetted every treasure and storage bag through his Eye of the God.
If there was any trickery, it would almost certainly be unable to hide.
Only after confirming that each item was safe, did the Ancestor, like an elder full of thousands of cautions and warnings, say, “However, misfortune often lurks within fortune.
You’ve obtained these treasures and defeated those two.
Whether it’s the Three Saints Palaces or the Ghost King of the Netherworld, they won’t let you off in the future.
You must be extra cautious and get ready early…”
“Yes, Disciple understands, thank you for the reminder, Ancestor.”
Chen Dengming replied with solemnity.
The Ancestor blandly stated, “In the Cultivation World, mastery makes a teacher, and strength commands respect.
Now that you have become a Nascent Soul, you are the Fifth Ancestor of Longevity.
As per the rules, you must also start looking for your sect’s next Daoist.
When the time is ripe, you can pass on the position.
If there’s no suitable candidate, given the troubled times we are in, it can be left vacant for the time being…”
Suddenly, the topic turned to something Chen Dengming had been long contemplating.
Yet, judging by the Ancestor’s demeanor, selecting the Daoist was not an immediate concern.
However, that he had so suddenly become the Fifth Ancestor of Longevity felt abrupt and somewhat uncomfortable to him.
The rule of strength determining position was entirely at odds with the hierarchal etiquette he was familiar with from Daoism in his previous life.
But upon deeper reflection, he realized that such norms were shaped by the environment and mindset of the Cultivation World, and they had their own logic.
