Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

The Seven-God Treasure consists of the Essence Blood Divine Storage, Ultimate Power Divine Storage, Vitality Divine Storage, Wisdom Divine Storage, Longevity Divine Storage, Heavenly Machine Divine Storage, and Dao Heart Divine Storage.

Upon opening the Wisdom Divine Storage, one becomes comparable to the Saints of old and qualifies for the title of 'Saint,' revered by the world.

A Saint, even in the vast Cultivation World outside, is considered a formidable expert, let alone in a remote place like theirs.

"Saint..." Yin Shou sighed.

He stopped, no longer intending to flee. Since the vicious curse he had cast failed to achieve its purpose, it was only a matter of time before the unscathed 'Gongyang Yi' caught up to him.

"Yin Shou is willing to recognize Fellow Daoist Gongyang as my master. I implore Fellow Daoist Gongyang to grant his approval."

In the air, as Xu Xing approached, Yin Shou half-knelt upon a cloud, lowered his head, and held up an ethereal, Lingzhi-like object in both hands.

This Lingzhi was his True Destiny.

Ghost Immortals possess no inherent destiny. After successfully passing the Human Tribulation, the True Destiny they seize becomes the very anchor of their existence.

In the Approaching Yang Realm, one can still alter their True Destiny. But once in the Returning to the Netherworld Realm, the True Destiny is irrevocably set.

If a Ghost Immortal loses their True Destiny, their fate is far more wretched than even self-dissolution.

Xu Xing's eyes flickered slightly. Surrender?

Due to the differences in cultivation paths, Ghost Immortals, unlike Warriors, were not typically unyielding; apprehension towards conflict and fear of death were their common traits.

Therefore, while Yin Shou's surrender was somewhat unexpected, upon careful reflection, Xu Xing found it to be within reason.

Subduing a Ghost Immortal of the Returning to the Netherworld Realm would be beneficial to me... He decided to accept Yin Shou's surrender.

The Earth Tribulation of the Returning to the Netherworld Realm is notoriously difficult to pass! This was common knowledge among all Ghost Immortals.

If I take in a Ghost Immortal from the Returning to the Netherworld Realm, with his guidance, my chances of successfully undergoing the Tribulation Crossing should increase somewhat. Furthermore, a soul-servant from the Returning to the Netherworld Realm would also be advantageous for my future entry into the Heavenly Abyss or venturing into the outside world. An additional helper.

"From this moment on, your life is mine. If... you harbor any duplicity..." Xu Xing looked coldly at Yin Shou, his hand tightly gripping Yin Shou's Lingzhi-like True Destiny.

Instantly, Yin Shou cried out in agony, his soul-body showing faint signs of collapsing.

"This old servant obeys! I dare not harbor any duplicity. If I were to have a change of heart, may this old servant die a horrible death!" Amidst his cries of pain, he sent a Divine Sense transmission to Xu Xing, pleading for mercy.

"As long as Friend Yin remains loyal..., I am not a harsh or ungrateful person. Any rewards you deserve will not be stinted." Upon hearing this, Xu Xing's expression softened, and he ceased manipulating Yin Shou's True Destiny.

"An expert of the Returning to the Netherworld Realm need not debase themselves by acting as a servant."

"Stand up," he said again.

He understood the principle of alternating severity with leniency. For powerful individuals like Yin Shou, while resources and Treasures were undoubtedly important, they also valued their own dignity. A single instance of humiliation might be tolerable. But if subjected to repeated humiliation, they would inevitably turn against their master. They would rather die than not strike back. Whether in the Mortal World or the Cultivation World, there are many servants whose lives are controlled by others; it's not as if every single one of them is loyal.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gongyang." Yin Shou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rose, and expressed his thanks to Xu Xing.

He was, after all, the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Mushroom Sect. If he were to constantly address Xu Xing as 'Master' and refer to himself as 'old servant,' the blow to his pride would be unbearable. Surrendering out of fear of death and willingly demeaning oneself as a servant were two different matters.

「After a while.」

Nangong Ancestor, who had come to provide support, arrived.

Seeing this scene, she was quite astonished. After all, Yin Shou's Cultivation was a Realm higher than hers, and he was a figure of a senior generation.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, this is Friend Yin. From now on, he is an ally, one of us," Xu Xing introduced Yin Shou to Nangong Ancestor.

He had gained much experience in the Mortal World over many years and understood the art of conversation. Although Yin Shou had, in effect, become his servant, if Xu Xing truly treated him as a mere underling, Yin Shou would sooner or later become estranged and turn into a hidden danger. If that were the case, it would have been better not to have accepted Yin Shou's surrender in the first place. Sometimes, maintaining appearances is more important than material gain and can be more effective in winning people's loyalty.

"Friend Yin..." Nangong Ancestor's beautiful eyes darted, and she instantly understood the true nature of their relationship.

However, possessing a keen and perceptive mind, she didn't explicitly state their actual relationship, choosing to preserve Yin Shou's dignity. In Xu Xing's estimation, Yin Shou's current value definitely surpassed her own. Offending Yin Shou would not be a wise move. She wasn't so foolish.

"Fellow Daoist Gongyang, this is Ao Lin's Storage Bag..."

"And also the Saint's Golden Clothing from just now."

After they exchanged greetings, Nangong Ancestor immediately handed over the items she had collected from clearing the battlefield to Xu Xing. She dared not covetously keep these Treasures for herself. Treasures are indeed desirable, but one must be alive to claim them.

After successfully handing over the Treasures and currying favor with Xu Xing, Nangong Ancestor licked her crimson lips, her eyes shimmering with seduction, adopting a posture as if ready to throw herself into his embrace.

"Fellow Daoist Gongyang," she purred, "it appears you are not merely a Ghost Immortal; your physique is also remarkably robust. A Warrior of the Yuan Realm, I see. I have a Secret Pleasure Picture here, a treasured artifact of the Fragrant Fox Sect. I would like to invite you, Fellow Daoist Gongyang, to appreciate it together with me..."

Although she wasn't employing any Charm Art at this moment, she was confident in her own allure. Over the past thousand years, no man had ever managed to resist her enticements. Nangong Ancestor couldn't precisely gauge the extent of the benefits of becoming 'Gongyang Yi's' woman, but she was certain they would be no less than all she had ever gained before.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Nangong, for your kind favor, but... I am wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao. There is no need to comprehend any Secret Pleasure Picture..." Xu Xing was momentarily taken aback by this offer, then resolutely declined.

He had just witnessed Ao Lin's horrific demise with his own eyes.
