A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 298 A Bountiful Harvest, A Time of Celebration
"Besides these three, are there any other members of the Ghost Spirit Sect?"

Han Li asked.

"Yes, Wang Tiansheng is still on the second floor. By the way, Sect Leader Han, the man surnamed You has joined the Ghost Spirit Sect and is also on the second floor. In addition, there are a total of six precious jade boxes in the Cangkun Cave, which are currently in the hands of a few old guys from the Ghost Spirit Sect."

The old man responded positively.

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Sun, you're a nice person. Welcome to the team."

"Thank you, Master."

The old man was overjoyed.

This is also the time.

The old woman surnamed Tai's nascent soul teleported again, flashing past Qing Yi and Yuan Yao.

Taking advantage of the fact that Han Li and his group were dealing with the Ghost Spirit Sect members, they managed to escape far away.

"Sect Master, that scoundrel surnamed Tai used us to escape..."

Old Man Sun said cautiously.

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the open stone gate.

"It's alright. If that person chose the path of death over the path of life, then we can't blame them."

Han Li waved his hand.

Although the small stone mountain passage we came through is still there, it's not like there's nothing prepared inside.

This is not.

Just as the old woman's nascent soul was overjoyed and teleporting repeatedly, a snow-white spider web quickly enveloped her. Seeing the situation was bad, the old woman hurriedly retreated in shock and anger, but from behind, another spider web unfolded and covered her.

"what?"

This caused the old woman's pupils to contract sharply.

Unable to dodge in time, she was quickly enveloped in a large, snow-white cocoon by the spider web. Inside the cocoon, countless fine, needle-like white spider silk threads, as if alive, relentlessly pierced into her nascent soul.

It was submerged in an instant:

"what!"

The next moment, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xing, two shrunken level eight Blood Jade Spiders, revealed themselves.

In a flash of light, it expanded from the size of a bean to ten zhang in size.

Then he roared repeatedly at the old woman surnamed Tai, who was wrapped in spider webs like a large rice dumpling.

Immediately afterwards, it spins new silk to connect with the large cocoon, and then begins to continuously draw something from inside the cocoon.

Inside the giant cocoon of spider webs, the elderly woman surnamed Tai, bound and unable to move, suddenly realized that her nascent soul essence was rapidly draining away, being extracted and plundered by something.

This terrified her even more, and she screamed incessantly:

"no, do not want…"

But her screams had no effect whatsoever. Not only did they fail to affect the two Blood Jade Spiders, they actually made the two giant spiders extract the Nascent Soul Essence faster and faster.

And I'm getting happier and happier.

As for the old woman's voice? It grew softer and softer.

This was the order Han Li gave to his two little pets before entering the stone gate.

If any outsiders escape, they can be killed.

"Husband, those two little ones seem to have caught the Nascent Soul cultivator who just escaped."

Yuan Yao turned around and saw the scene outside the stone gate.

Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Sun felt a chill run down his spine.

Han Li, on the other hand, casually shook his head:
"Do not care."

Within the narrow and cramped passage, the tiny spirit star, capable of shrinking its enormous form to the size of a bean and effectively concealing its aura, poses a considerable threat even to a Nascent Soul cultivator in good condition, let alone to a Nascent Soul cultivator whose physical body has been destroyed and who is left with only the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit.

The two Blood Jade Spiders awakened the innate supernatural power of being able to control their size as they entered the ranks of high-level demonic beasts.

Upon reaching level eight, it awakened auxiliary abilities such as concealing its aura and absorbing the life essence within the spiderweb cocoon.

Furthermore, the spider silk attacks resemble magical attacks; each strand is exceptionally strong, making it difficult for ordinary magical weapons to cut through these snow-white webs. Each thread is also incredibly sticky, allowing it to adhere to and neutralize attacks from sharp weapons.

Tai Furen's nascent soul simply ran headlong into the muzzle of a gun.

Originally, if this person had offered to join the Xuan Tian Sect for protection, Han Li would not only have found him a body suitable for a high-level Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator, but would also have considered providing him with some spiritual herbs to help him recover his vitality. Unfortunately, he didn't even offer a word of thanks, and simply left while they were dealing with the Ghost Spirit Sect members. How could this be allowed?
If news of what happened here were to reach Tiannan, their Xuantian Sect would likely become the target of public criticism immediately.

after all.

This place is related to the secrets of the Fallen Demon Valley, which are known to the Venerable Cangkun.

Among the cultivators of Tiannan, who among them with any skill would remain indifferent to this news?
No outsider could possibly leave this place alive.

...

"Sect Master, shall we go in?"

Outside the Jade Cliff Pavilion, an elderly man surnamed Sun volunteered, eager to give it a try.

He's eager to prove himself now.

Han Li nodded.

However, he immediately shook his head.

Based on his usual style, he actually wanted to wait for Wang Tiansheng to come out on his own before catching him off guard.

The pavilion served to block divine sense from detection; events happening outside were imperceptible to those inside. In other words, Wang Tiansheng and the burly man surnamed You were completely unaware that the old man surnamed Zhong, the old monster Yun, and Wang Tiangu had already been captured.

If they continue to wait, it will not be them who feel doubtful, anxious, and worried, but rather Sect Leader Wang who will never receive a reply.

It's only a matter of time before I get out on my own.

This way, they can also avoid being ambushed by Wang Tiansheng and the cultivator surnamed You.

Be careful to sail the boat that lasts ten thousand years.

but.

Our side already has a significant advantage.

Besides, Old Man Sun is eager to show off, so giving the other party a chance isn't a bad idea, is it? Even if this person isn't very strong, he's still just Wang Tiansheng, so it would at least give him a sense of participation, wouldn't it?
The significance of participation has surpassed the desire to win or lose.

The five people entered the Jade Pavilion, and before they even went upstairs, they ran into two people coming downstairs.

When Wang Tiansheng saw the group, his expression changed drastically, and he stopped in his tracks as he went downstairs.

Upon seeing this, the cultivator surnamed You was first stunned, then his face turned ashen.

"It's over."

At this point, is it still possible to switch allegiance to the Xuantian Sect?

...

After a thorough soul search, Han Li finally understood why Old Monster Yun and the others had appeared there.

"It turns out that Marquis Nanlong had been targeted by the Ghost Spirit Sect for a long time."

The reason they hadn't taken action was primarily to win over Nanlong Hou to the Ghost Spirit Sect, which was why they hadn't acted yet. However, once they realized that Nanlong Hou was most likely in trouble, and they didn't know who had done it, Old Monster Yun decided there was no need to wait any longer. He decided to quickly open the Cangkun Ruins to retrieve the treasure, lest things get complicated.

So he hurriedly called over the monk surnamed You, Old Woman Tai, Daoist Bing, and Old Man Sun.

As for why these four were chosen?
Firstly, these four individuals have limited strength and cannot cause any significant trouble; they will ultimately become mere laborers for the Ghost Spirit Sect. Secondly, these four are just a few rogue cultivators without any powerful backing; their deaths will be insignificant and will not cause much of a stir. The subsequent impact will be minimal.

Thirdly, these four people all have some connection with Yun Laoguai and Wang Tiangu. Once the Ghost Spirit Sect succeeds, they are likely to be forced to join the Ghost Spirit Sect due to circumstances.

This is not.

Forced by circumstances, the cultivator surnamed You was compelled to join the Ghost Spirit Sect in order to survive, and was placed under a control spell.

Moreover, the Ghost Spirit Sect members had a good plan.

There's no need for all four to join; even just one or two people joining the Ghost Spirit Sect would greatly enhance its prestige and provide some assistance for the subsequent Fallen Demon Valley operation. They're commonly known as high-level cannon fodder.

The four members of the Ghost Spirit Sect, working together from within and without, were indeed just a hair's breadth away from achieving their goal.

Old Monster Yun's sudden betrayal and sneak attack instantly killed Daoist Bing, seriously injured Old Woman Tai, and shocked the cultivator surnamed You.

Sun Laoguai will eventually be forced to join the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Everything is progressing as planned.

But just when things were going so well, Han Li and his group suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"We arrived just in time. If we had been any later, the Ghost Spirit Sect would have gotten all the benefits."

Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

He released the hand of the Soul Searching King Tian Gu.

"It was indeed a coincidence. If it had been any later, we would have had to outwit and outfight the even stronger Ghost Spirit Sect, which possessed the Cangkun Secret Treasure."

Han Li was also relieved.

Fortunately, I didn't procrastinate.

Realizing that Old Monster Yun wouldn't fall for it, he immediately came over here.

Otherwise, they'll have emptied the ruins, and he'll still be sitting in Tiancheng, waiting to starve.

"Alright, let Junior Brother Tianjing and Xin Ruyin come in and see how much they've gained this time."

...

The Cangkun Cave contains many treasures.

Four high-grade antique treasures and two fine antique treasures.

Ten Nascent Soul level magic treasures.

Eight bottles of premium Nascent Soul level pills.

Various rare spiritual materials, worth more than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Besides these on the first floor of the Jade Pavilion, there are also six jade boxes that can conceal spiritual energy.

The first jade box contained four jade slips. One jade slip contained information about the Blood Curse Gate, another about the Inner Valley, and yet another about spatial rifts and the Northern Lights. The fourth jade slip contained a perception technique that could detect invisible spatial rifts.

The second jade box contained the Jade Poison, one of the Ten Deadly Poisons.

The third jade box contained the cultivation technique "Looking at the Moon Technique" that Master Cangkun once practiced.

The secret techniques and cultivation insights mentioned in the manual were of great use to all the cultivators present.

The fourth jade box contained the top-tier ancient treasure, the Purple Cheng Helmet.

The fifth jade box contains the Yin Ring of the Yin-Yang Ring, a special magical artifact, which can counteract the Northern Polar Primordial Light within the passage.

The sixth jade box contained a jade tablet and the array techniques accumulated by Master Cangkun during his time traversing the southern regions. It also contained the inheritance of ancient Tai Miao divine restrictions and other restrictions.

Then there's the Soul-Nourishing Wooden Scroll, which nurtures the ancient demon's divided soul.

The ancient demon's cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul stage.

Its divided soul is also incredibly powerful, capable of possessing the injured Grandmaster Cangkun.

However, the only opportunity to possess another body was used five thousand years ago, when it possessed Cang Kun. Now, the ancient demon's divided soul has no choice but to return to its original physical body; it no longer possesses the prerequisite for possessing any other living being.

Of course.

The gains from this trip did not stop there.

Don't forget the four members of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the rogue cultivators, including the one surnamed You.

The storage bags of the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators contained quite a few good items.

There are sixteen ancient treasures, all of which are of high quality, including many high-level ancient treasures. There are also as many as seventeen magical artifacts. In addition, there are various extremely rare and precious spiritual materials and medicines, such as black jade lotus, white chalcedony, and iron essence.

Furthermore, we can go back and visit their caves; perhaps we'll find something else there.

Most importantly, the Ghost Spirit Sect is secretly researching how to use a one-way teleportation array to enter the Fallen Demon Valley.

And after years of persistence, they have already reaped the rewards.

"Junior Brother Sun, did you obtain an ancient treasure, a magic weapon, and a bottle of pills earlier?"

After summarizing his gains, Han Li suddenly asked the old man surnamed Sun a question.

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart tightened, and he hurriedly handed over the exquisite ancient treasure, a magic weapon, and a pill bottle that he had received when he entered with the Ghost Spirit Sect group:
"Sect Master, that's all."

However, Han Li did not take these back. Instead, he publicly distributed Wang Tiangu's natal magic weapon and a fine ancient treasure to Old Sun.

"Sect Master, what is this?"

"Take it, everyone who sees it gets a share."

A simple sentence, yet it touched the heart of the elderly man surnamed Sun.

Not only did they not reclaim what they had previously gained, but they also distributed the spoils among themselves?

I'm being treated with such courtesy right after joining?

This…

"Thank you, Master."

The old man said sincerely.

Just a moment ago, he was somewhat uncomfortable because of the restriction placed on him, but now, he felt mostly fortunate. Fortunate that he reacted quickly and surrendered early enough; otherwise, he might have ended up like the four members of the Ghost Spirit Sect, becoming a spoils to be divided among the others. Fortunate that he had acted shrewdly and truly followed the right person.

"All right."

Han Li quickly interrupted.

Instead, the Six Paths of Precious Light and a bottle of pills were given to True Person Tianjing, who had been keeping watch outside:
"Junior Brother Tianjing, you can take these."

Tianjing was even more excited after obtaining two exquisite ancient treasures, four magic weapons, a bottle of pills, and some information about Fallen Demon Valley.

"Elder, these are yours..."

"Second Elder, these and these..."

After everyone had received their share of the treasures, they all burst into laughter:
"It's not a worthwhile trip, it's not a worthwhile trip."
