Chapter 62: Innate Spirit Treasure Offspring, The Celestial Ghost Who Fishes Worlds (Begging for Monthly Votes)

On the vehicle,

Jiang Yan paid no attention to the commotion outside. At this moment, he was resting with his eyes closed, sorting through the gains of this trip.

The first was the mission's point reward.

Because one was a private bounty mission, and the other was the fifty points from the child-finding mission.

Because he had thwarted the Divine Sakura Biology sacrifice incident, it was raised to six hundred points.

Jiang Yan took two hundred, with the remainder going to Zhao Yan who had come to support.

After all, the Law Seed realm Kurokawa Sousuke had been taken down by her.

The second harvest was a tribulation lotus he had created by entering the tribulation with his own body.

Because he had the external support of Zhao Yan, the tribulation force he himself suffered wasn't much, and it only opened a small flower bud.

He had planted it on Kurokawa Ryuji.

This fellow, as an offspring of the old registry, could barely be considered to have a bit of fortune.

This was also the first time Jiang Yan, acting as a fisherman, had guided the fish into the net step by step, opened the sacrificial space, and finally reaped everything from him.

Even though he had achieved "Yan" plucking every feather, because Kurokawa Ryuji was simply too weak, and the harvest came too early, it barely allowed the flower bud to bloom, giving birth to a tribulation lotus only the size of a thumb.

Like it was stunted.

"Forget it, small is also cute."

Jiang Yan held to the principle that even a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat, comforting himself, and didn't rush to absorb it, waiting until next time to give it as a gift to the other geniuses.

As long as it's carefully cultivated, a bountiful harvest will eventually come!

Although Kurokawa Ryuji was dead, he had also sent him a great gift.

A bronze mirror containing a fragment of the Yata no Kagami, and the corpse of a Celestial Ghost.

The former, originating from the White Sakura mythology's Amaterasu deity, possessed the ability to open up space, and was the storage tool he currently needed most.

But it could only store at a fixed location, which was a bit of a letdown.

As for the latter, Jiang Yan didn't know much either, only knowing that the earliest concept of the Celestial Ghost came from "Heaven," that is, the commonly called Old Heaven.

The "Mozi · Shang Xian Zhong" records,

【"Leading all the people of the world, to honor Heaven and serve ghosts, to love and benefit all the people, therefore Heaven and ghosts reward him, establishing him as the Son of Heaven."】

The earliest Queen Mother of the West was also called the Fierce Ghost of Heaven.

Of course, the Celestial Ghost corpse before him didn't have such a high station, but it could also illustrate its extraordinary origins.

It was a formless, intangible higher life form that could shuttle through different plague domains, peer into fate, and deduce the future.

Similar to a Heavenly Demon, but of a higher grade.

It's just that it had already died in its infant state, unaccepted by the world, and was obtained by Kurokawa Ryuichi.

"This Kurokawa Ryuichi really has flourishing fortune, obtaining so many treasures one after another."

Jiang Yan stroked his chin, really wanting to send the other party a flower.

The return rate would definitely be super high.

He only hated that his own strength was insufficient.

Like this time sealing the Divine Sakura Building, if he were in the Law Seed realm, he wouldn't need such a big fuss at all, only needing to gently stir cause and effect.

Kurokawa Sousuke wouldn't even get to see his face before dying without a burial place.

"These two items, one needs the remaining fragments collected, the other must be refined through ritual sacrifice—both are letdowns for most people, but I don't need such trouble."

Jiang Yan chuckled lightly. The dark tendrils in the Chaotic Sea spread out, nurturing the 【Yata no Kagami Imitation Artifact】 and the 【Celestial Ghost Corpse】 together, transforming them into a golden fruit.

Crack! Crack!

The fruit hatched, and from within appeared a crystalline translucent dark-gold little skull, with black flames burning in its eye sockets, and two small horns growing on its head.

It didn't look terrifying, but rather a bit simple and honest, like a chibi little skull.

It held an ancient bronze mirror in both hands, the mirror's surface displaying a color of nothingness, as if reflecting endless void.

"Gulu!"

After its birth, it looked around at the dark Chaotic Sea, and hugged the mirror in its hands a little fearfully.

"Gulu!"

Only after sensing Jiang Yan's will did it happily stand up, waving its little skull claws in greeting.

"What a cute little fellow."

Jiang Yan smiled, and related information surfaced in his mind.

【Celestial Ghost Treasure Mirror】

【Spirit Treasure-class Offspring】

【Quality: Perfect】

【Description: The Celestial Ghost possesses the ability to shuttle through worlds and steal the origin of planes. This aligns with the spatial path of the Yata no Kagami fragment, successfully nurturing into a brand-new Innate Spirit Treasure, breaking free from the Yata no Kagami's source control, stealing part of the 【Takamagahara】 path, and able to shield fate divination below 【Heavenly Official】 level.】

Inside the Celestial Ghost Treasure Mirror, a one-cubic-meter treasure space can be opened to store items, continuing to expand as strength increases.

A fixed space of fifteen cubic meters can be opened, but requires the Celestial Ghost Treasure Mirror to maintain it, otherwise it will be annihilated by spatial turbulence; living things can be placed inside.

The Celestial Ghost Treasure Mirror can use spatial abilities for small-range teleportation, spatial severing, trapping enemies inside the mirror, etc. The consumption is enormous, please use with caution.

Feeding it treasures with spatial path, starry sky, fate, and karma attributes allows the Celestial Ghost to search plague domains through the treasure mirror in its hands, and through its own concealment ability, analyze plague domain rules, and pre-deploy sub-bodies—【Sky-Stealing Ghost Mirror】.

After absorbing enough plane origin, it can lock coordinates, construct a Celestial Ghost Bridge, and enter through the river of history.

Collecting enough plane origin and Yata no Kagami fragments can promote the infant body to grow into a true Celestial Ghost.】

【The Old Fisherman needs a suitable fishing rod.】

"With it, I can pre-arrange plague domains, nurture many tribulation lotuses, and promote my own growth!"

Jiang Yan's gaze was filled with pleasant surprise. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but this case of a pillow being delivered just as he felt sleepy was just too...

What a coincidence.

Is it my good fortune that everything goes as I wish?

Jiang Yan frowned; after experiencing the Monkey King Temple dungeon, he had become somewhat suspicious of everything.

But after thinking carefully, he found nothing abnormal; after all, he had chosen this mission only because of his grandfather.

Gaining such a harvest was purely accidental.

Grandfather is his lucky star!

Thinking of this, he looked at the requirements for the 【Mirror of the Heaven-Stealing Ghost】, and his teeth felt a bit sour.

"Gulp!"

Especially since Little Sky Ghost, as if offering a treasure, held up the mirror in his hand, seemingly wanting the Creator to use it to his heart's content.

Jiang Yan coughed lightly, very much wanting to say...

I can't afford to use it!

Space-type, star-type, and fate-type treasures—none of them aren't ridiculously expensive?

This time, another gold-swallowing big spender has come to the family; the Poverty God follows like a shadow.

'If you don't sacrifice the child, you can't catch the wolf; if we can successfully harvest a plague domain, the harvest will only be greater!'

Jiang Yan comforted himself: one cannot let the child suffer while suffering oneself,

I'll save up points to buy it as soon as I get back!

Tap-tap-tap!

A knocking sound came from the window glass of the speeding car.

Jiang Yan opened the window; the wind howled, and the Shadow-Winged Snake folded its wings, crawled in carrying an exquisite jade box in its mouth.

After dropping it, it turned into a shadow and vanished.

He opened the box; inside lay a magical plant, entirely dark green and resembling a porcelain doll, bound with a red string.

A faint fragrance spread, filling the car; just smelling it made one feel refreshed.

Zhao Zhao Yinman glanced sideways, then withdrew her gaze.

Life-extending; a useless item.

She only needed her soul not to be worn down by time; then she would be ageless and deathless.

Jiang Yan examined it closely and found a note tucked beside it, on which was written: If you untie the red string, it will run wild; grind it into juice and take it to extend life.

The side effect is that it will disrupt the five internal organs; it must be taken together with pills that regulate the five organs, which are placed in the box's hidden compartment.

Jiang Yan smiled lightly: "Gong Gong Yuntao is indeed a remarkable person."

Before leaving Shenying Biological, he had received a message from Gong Gong Yuntao, thanking him for saving his grandson; a banquet had already been prepared, waiting only for his honored arrival.

One does not strike a smiling face.

Jiang Yan was in a hurry to use it on his grandfather and did not wish to engage in useless socializing, so he politely declined, telling Gong Gong Yuntao to take care of his grandson first, that the banquet could wait, and that he would send soldiers to retrieve it later.

Gong Gong Yuntao was also a shrewd person; he immediately agreed, telling Jiang Yan to simply set a contact signal.

After all, anyone seeking a life-extending item must be in urgent need.

Being wordy would only make one annoying.

"If the Ginseng Man Herb is already this magical, what would the Ginseng Man and Ginseng Horse look like?"

Jiang Yan was curious in his heart; two hours later, he returned to Pan'an County.

While his grandfather slept, he ground the Ginseng Man Herb into juice and quietly fed it, along with the pill, into his mouth.

He watched the flame of his grandfather's life lamp gradually grow stronger, while the Evergreen Lotus of Longevity organized the flow for the elderly couple.

"Finally, the pressing emergency has been resolved."

Jiang Yan let out a long sigh; although two years was not much time, but...

The Ginseng Man Herb, stripped of its life-extending attribute, is merely a Transcendent Artifact nurtured by the ordinary Turbid Flow Plague Domain.

He had only become a Transcendent one week ago, yet he could already face a Law Seed head-on.

"No need to wait until two years later; in a few days, I can try to plunder resources from the plague domains."

Jiang Yan's gaze grew dim; once he purchased materials from the Headquarters Mall, he could attempt to deploy the 【Mirror of the Heaven-Stealing Ghost】,

and open...

The path of the mastermind behind the Plague Domains of the Heavens!
