“This… Young Master, if the Yin Spirit indeed has an extraordinary origin, she might have already entered a highly covert secret realm, hence why the Thousand Ghost Tracking Compass is ineffective.”

An old man glanced at the compass in his hand, a golden piece adorned with many twisting, writhing Yin characters resembling leeches in water. He answered cautiously.

This magical artifact, capable of tracking, was cherished by the Ghost Soul Sect primarily due to its simplicity in use, combined with its terrifying efficacy.

Once activated, every remarkable Yin Spirit and Ghost Creature within a hundred-mile radius would manifest on the compass, meticulously marked.

Possessing such an object, along with the methods to control Ghost Creatures, any sect practicing the Ghost Path could swiftly rise in power. And this was only its basic function.

Subsequently, it could utilize the power of the compass to mark specific Ghost Creatures. It had an astonishing range, capable of tracking across thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles.

Whether crossing between the human world and the netherworld, the Thousand Ghost Tracking Compass could find the target. However, this time, they encountered a particularly unique girl who rendered the artifact, which had been passed down through their sect for thousands of years, useless.

“I just need to determine her location. If this cannot be achieved, what use do I have for you?”

The Young Master’s body was suffused with a bleak, blue-black hue of death. His aura now seemed less like a living being and more like a ravenous Ghost Creature, ready to swallow whatever piqued its interest.

“Young Master, please calm down. At the start when we first marked the Yin Spirit with the power of the compass, you saw it. We could locate her. However, in recent days, we have lost her signal. Given this situation, this old man thinks that we could wait a little longer. She cannot always shelter in that secret realm.

Once she leaves, we can then ascertain her whereabouts. At that time, Young Master can do whatever you wish without restraint.”

Seeing the Young Master, who looked ready to tear them apart, an elder with bright, white facial hair and a rosy complexion, looking somewhat sage-like, laughingly stepped forward. However, his expression was somewhat forced, revealing discomfort.

Those elder servants closely serving the Young Master may seem to hold high status, but serving such a capricious and fickle individual was truly tormenting. If he were to fly into a frenzy, he would not hesitate to turn his anger against his own people.

“How much longer must I wait?”

At these words, the gears of the two elders’ minds seemed to stick; they didn’t know how to respond. How could they know? They were not the Yin Spirit ghost-girl the Young Master was so fixated upon. Only ghosts could know how long it might take. Perhaps, she decided to take a nap in the secret realm, and a hundred years passed while she slept.

“Young Master, do not worry excessively. Calm your mind and focus. Even if you saw the girl now, what could you do? Could you forcibly abduct her? She is likely of extraordinary origin and not under the Ghost Soul Sect. It’s quite possible she’s the daughter of a Ghost Immortal.”

The dark armored figure also chose this moment to speak with a reminder.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“So what if she’s the daughter of a Ghost Immortal? I’m the heir-apparent of the Ghost Soul Sect and my ancestors were Human Immortals. Given my potential to ascend as an immortal, even if she were the daughter of a Ghost Immortal, wouldn’t I be a suitable match?”

Hearing this, the youth’s face was immediately filled with an arrogant and self-satisfied look. His talents were recognized by his ancestor and he was appointed as the next master of the Ghost Soul Sect. Even his father could not challenge his position. On the contrary, once he broke through to the top three golden pills, he could push his father off the throne and ascend as Sect Master.

However, he wasn’t much interested in the power of the sect, realizing that the power of life and death in the sect lay in a few ancestors’ hands. His father, though technically the Sect Master, was just a steward in practice.

Any one of the ancestors could remove his father from the throne if they wished; he himself was appointed the next Sect Master due to favor from one ancestor. His father, despite his high-standing title, didn’t dare utter a word against it.

He naturally had no interest in inheriting such a feeble position. What he pursued was the Human Immortal grandeur that could stand above all beings, even the Earth Immortal of Virtue and Blessing that could ward off disasters and live for tens of thousands of years.

Thinking about climbing to such heights, attaining a top three golden pill was indispensable. Yet, in forging a third-grade golden pill, he was ninety percent confident. For a second-grade, there was barely a thirty percent chance, and for a first-grade, there was no chance at all.

Therefore, upon first seeing the self-proclaimed South-North Yin Spirit ghost-girl, his heart was filled with joy. When her trace was lost, he became frantic.

In his eyes, what was lost was not just a beautiful Yin Spirit, but also the hope of condensing a first-grade golden pill and achieving the grand road of Human Immortal status, which was tantamount to cutting off his path of cultivation.

Even for a prodigy of his level, although he hasn’t used up all of his talent yet, he can see his own end in his path. He knows that with just his talent, he can reach that point.

Because he had such a clear understanding of himself, he was desperately eager for encounters and treasures that could break his limit. He recently came across one, but listened to the persuasion of the elder who accompanied him and the protector of the Dao, and thus temporarily set it aside. He did not rush to act, but nearly missed it.

“Young Sect Master has the appearance of a Human Immortal, even if she is the legitimate daughter of a Ghost Immortal, it is a match. If the Young Sect Master proposes marriage, the Ghost Immortal will certainly be overjoyed and will definitely not make things difficult.”

The white-haired attendant elder spoke lies he didn’t even believe himself.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The intentions of this Young Sect Master were too obvious. Anyone with a little bit of insight would be able to see that he wanted to find a Furnace tripod for his spiritual cultivation. If he rushed to propose marriage to the legitimate daughter of a Ghost Immortal like this, it would be strange if he wasn’t slapped to death on the spot.

Moreover, according to his private thoughts, the origin of this Yin Spirit girl was probably not as simple as just the legitimate daughter of a Ghost Immortal. That dress she was wearing might be an immortal artifact, something even a Ghost Immortal might not possess to give to his daughter.

Of the three ancestors in their Ghost Soul Sect, only one of them had an immortal artifact—an iron chain that was said to be capable of ensnaring souls—but being an elder, he had never seen it.

However, even though he has never seen it before, he knew that among the three ancestors, the one with the immortal artifact had the highest status, standing above the other two, who were the real ones in the sect.

“Very true, very true.”

The other elder was nodding his head in agreement but couldn’t say anything else. After all, what else could he say when all the flattering words had been said by this companion?

“South-North, where exactly is she? When will she come out of the secret territory?”

These flattering words didn’t seem to put the young sect master’s mind at ease; his symptoms were looking increasingly violent with non-human, blue-black ghostly patterns spreading all over his body, face, and limbs creating a bloody and murderous ambiance.

This young sect master, who was originally quite handsome but possessed a somewhat melancholic temperament, had now transformed into a monstrous demon over 30 feet tall, seeing horns grow out of his head and bat-wings out of his back, and even a long scorpion’s tail appeared from him.

The white robe, which was ghostly with many ghostly creatures appearing on his body from time to time, had now turned into a heavy suit of armor surrounding him, making the demon he had turned into, more terrifying and violent.

“Our Young Sect Master is indeed a peerless prodigy that appears once in a millennium in the Ghost Soul Sect. Within less than sixty years, he has perfected the Blue Ghost Battle Body. In the history of the sect over 3000 years, he is one of the very few heroes.”

“It’s said that the Soul-hooking Ancestor, at the time of his incomplete golden core, also perfected the Blue Ghost Battle Body. The talent of the Young Sect Master can be compared to the youthful Ancestor, and he will surely achieve similar accomplishments in the future.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The two elders were complimenting each other, even at the risk of committing a sacrilege. The intermittently appearing and disappearing man in black armor silently looked at them but said nothing.

Om~

Suddenly, the compass held by the two old men vibrated slightly and a dazzling purple light appeared on it. The sudden change momentarily caught the attention of the almost crazy blue-black ghost.

The gloomy and murderous aura in his eyes gradually dissipated, and what appeared next was a crazily overjoyed madness.

“Is it South-North, has she appeared?”

The fierce and burly demon looked down at the two elders who were stupefied. After exchanging a glance, both elders managed to squeeze out smiles.

“Congratulations Young Sect Master, best wishes to the Young Sect Master.”

“The Young Sect Master is truly blessed and destined to possess great fortune.”

“Don’t waste time, lead me.”
