Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 460: Ghost God Sword?

There was a long silence.

"Thank you." Chen Lan smiled and nodded, taking out an exquisite and beautiful fan, handing it to Gu Ying: "This is a nice magical treasure, well-suited for you. Consider it my return gift."

Gu Ying happily accepted it, overjoyed inside: "Hahaha, that Yan Yu doesn’t have a gift from Xiao Yao. I must show it off to her later and make her envious."

"Don’t leave this place, I’ll come back to take you home." Chen Lan smiled and vanished instantly.

"Be careful!" Gu Ying shouted loudly while looking around.

She looked down at the magical treasure in her hand, smiling sweetly.

...

With the Spirit Generals guarding the Underworld, Chen Lan returned to the Ghostly Domain with confidence, no longer wasting time. He had to hurry to the place the Netherworld mentioned to find that Supreme Treasure, located deep within the Ghostly Domain!

Back in the mist, Chen Lan took out a lantern and flew forward continuously, asking ghosts for directions along the way. If they didn’t speak, he would fight them until they did, naturally discovering the location of the Supreme Treasure.

This treasure was almost universally known. Most in the Netherworld knew of it, even outsiders, with many coming daily.

Along the way, Chen Lan saw many from the Human Race and Demon Race, all heading in the same direction.

Almost all of them were at the Great Emperor level or above, with a few Daoist Venerables, but he hadn’t seen a Taoist Saint yet.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, a massive procession came into Chen Lan’s view: over a hundred ships flying in the sky, crowded with people, easily numbering over tens of thousands.

Chen Lan was slightly startled, not expecting such a large group in the Netherworld. Were they also treasure hunting like him?

His Divine Sense swept over them, mostly Great Emperor realm, with a few Daoist Venerables and five Taoist Saints, each on separate ships.

But the largest ship in the middle, twice as big as the others, blocked his Divine Sense.

Chen Lan slowly flew over, tagging along behind one of the ships, only to realize there was an array around the ship preventing others from boarding. He wasn’t the only one following; many others were behind the ship, all hoping to enter and seek the treasure.

"Friend, why not come aboard and rest for a bit?"

At that moment, a voice echoed in Chen Lan’s mind, and an opening appeared in the array before him, seemingly inviting him in.

Seeing this, Chen Lan did not refuse and flew straight in, leaving others looking on with envy.

Inside the ship, he walked towards the Taoist Saint he had seen earlier, finding an old man sitting cross-legged at a tea table, with two child servants pouring tea beside him.

The old man lightly coughed, and the two children naturally left, then slowly looked up at Chen Lan, gesturing to the table with a smile: "Friend, please sit."

Chen Lan calmly sat down, and the teapot automatically rose, pouring him a cup of steaming, fragrant Spirit Tea. After taking a glance, he found nothing unusual, conversely, it was infused with pure Spiritual Qi, indicating that this person meant him no harm.

"Friend, you must be here to seek treasure as well." The old man smiled, "I am the Sect Leader of Spirit Heaven Sect, Spirit Heaven Son. May I know your name?"

"Loose Cultivator, Xiao Yao." Chen Lan replied calmly.

Spirit Heaven Son raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "A friend who is a loose cultivator has reached such a high realm; I am impressed."

A loose cultivator reaching the level of a Taoist Saint surely indicates exceptional talent.

"Friend, what do you know about that treasure?" Spirit Heaven Son asked with a smile.

"I don’t know." Chen Lan answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Spirit Heaven Son’s smile widened and he began to explain: "This treasure is said to be the Ghost God’s inheritance. The one who receives the inheritance will gain the power of the Ghost God. Even the Great Emperor of the Netherworld fears this power."

Chen Lan raised an eyebrow, interested, and listened intently.

Seeing Chen Lan so intrigued, Spirit Heaven Son spoke more and more enthusiastically, continuing for a good half an hour before stopping.

Chen Lan finally understood that the Ghost God’s inheritance was not only the Ghost God’s cultivation technique and divine techniques but also included a Supreme Treasure once used by the Ghost God. It was said that controlling that Supreme Treasure equaled controlling the Netherworld, making it clear why so many sought it. The inheritance was simply too enticing. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It seemed the Supreme Treasure mentioned by the Netherworld was indeed this one.

"This Supreme Treasure is elusive; it’s said to be a sword named the Ghost God Sword. My ancestor once entered this place to seek treasure, survived the ordeal, and acquired many treasures, founding the Spirit Heaven Sect." Spirit Heaven Son continued, glancing at Chen Lan: "Friend, why not join me in seeking the treasure? At least we’ll have each other’s support on the road."

Hearing this, Chen Lan smiled and nodded: "Alright."

Spirit Heaven Son rolled his eyes and laughed, raising his teacup: "That’s great! Here’s to hoping we make it out alive."

"Sure." Chen Lan also raised his cup, toasting and drinking together.

...

Before long, Chen Lan left, and Spirit Heaven Son watched him go, his expression gradually turning cold.

Swish, swish, swish. Suddenly, four more Taoist Saints appeared in the room; they were the ones Chen Lan had previously sensed with his Divine Sense.

"This kid’s origins are unclear; if he truly is just a loose cultivator, it could work to our advantage."

"Indeed, we can likely pass the first three trials of the Land of Inheritance, but at the fourth trial, a sacrifice is required. He seems a suitable choice."

"Since he came to us himself, we can’t be blamed."

"Are we sure we can handle him if he came alone?"

The four others discussed openly, while Spirit Heaven Son frowned slightly: "He’s alone, and there are five of us. Surely, we can’t fall to him?"

After he spoke, the person laughed awkwardly, indeed overthinking. No matter how powerful, it was impossible to defeat five Taoist Saints, unless he was a Dao Emperor.

But they had all assessed Chen Lan’s level, and it was the same as theirs, a Taoist Saint; this was certain.

"Let’s not expose ourselves yet. When we reach the fourth trial, we will all act together to subdue him and offer him as a sacrifice to the Ghost God." Spirit Heaven Son said coldly.

The other four nodded in agreement and soon returned to their ships.

...

At the bow.

Chen Lan sat cross-legged, quietly gazing into the distance.

He didn’t believe Spirit Heaven Son’s enthusiastic invitation was out of generosity. Surely, there was some scheme involved, but what it was, he did not know. Unafraid, he had walked the Path of Invincibility and couldn’t afford fear.

"Ghost God Sword..." Chen Lan muttered, repeatedly reciting the name of the Ghost God treasure, taking out his own Demon God Sword, gently caressing its blade as it trembled slightly, emitting a faint sword hum.

Was there a connection between the Ghost God Sword and the Demon God Sword?

Their names were so similar; could it be that this Sword was not the only one?

Chen Lan pondered deeply, growing increasingly curious about the Ghost God Sword. If it was indeed as he imagined, then in this lifetime, he was perhaps playing a grand game of strategy, and the final player would be him, with no room for error in each move.

The pressure was immense!
