CHAPTER 598 THE GHOST TRACKING DEVICE

"Yes, these creatures are the ghosts formed by the souls of the dead, the power of Dark Enlightenment

and the resentment of the creatures before they were killed," Samson explained, providing them more

detail.

"The strength of these ghosts is, in essence, not really weak. Each of them is actually a spiritual king,"

Soar sighed as he felt the energy being exuded in their surroundings.

"You're right. This Land of Legacy can be considered an old battlefield for those innate spiritual kings.

After they died, their souls turned into ghosts. As a result, the ghosts now possess the power of a

spiritual king," Samson added. The Land of Legacy was discovered by the ancestors of both his clan

and the Golden Leopard Valley. Thus, he was familiar with everything in this land.

"These ghosts are not the strongest ones. Yet, they are perfect for us to test the power of the ghosts

along with their attack styles." Upon hearing this, Ricky instantly said, "Soar, we leave the most

powerful ghost to you. Terrence and I will handle the rest."

"I see! No problem!" Soar gamely responded as he expressed zero hesitation. Without wasting any

more second, he activated his body movement skill and landed right in front of the strongest ghost.

Judging by its breath, Soar felt that the strength of the ghost was probably equivalent to a second-class

middle spiritual king. Yet, because it had no entity, the power that it could potentially release was

almost equal to the peak power of a third-class middle spiritual king. On the other hand, this would also

provide the perfect opportunity for Soar to hone his skill. It was for this reason that he complied with

Ricky's suggestion with no contentions.

As a Great Dragon, Soar's speed of progress in terms of his cultivation base took place at a fast pace.

His talent was at least close to the second level of a peerless genius. However, since he always stayed

with Ricky, his progress was sort of overshadowed by the faster progress that Ricky manifested.

"After observing you for days, I've discovered that you are not the only one in this group who deserves

to be called a fighting madman. Even your brother Soar is also a fighting madman," Terrence said to

Ricky in a low voice when he witnessed how Soar had fought with the ghost.

"Actually, you can go head-to-head against Soar. I believe that the battle between you two will be

advantageous for both of you," Ricky suggested.

"I will. Like you, Soar has already triggered my fighting spirit. If I am able to seize such a great

opportunity, I will definitely fight Soar," Terrence revealed. He was also a crazy fighter and he would

often engage in a fight with strong warriors whenever he was presented with the opportunity. He had

challenged Ricky in the past at the Oriental College. It was during their friendly battle that Ricky and

Terrence became friends.

"Ha-ha, then, let's deal with these ghosts first!" Ricky said and chuckled.

He then took out his Iron Destroyer and Terrence took out his Dark Evil Sword. Within a few moments,

they had killed off all the other ghosts and cleared the obstacles for Soar. Now, Soar could concentrate

on fighting alone with just the strongest ghost standing before him.

The ghosts that were killed off by Ricky and Terrence took the duo by surprise after their enlightening

power transformed into small balls of light.

"These light balls are the source of the ghosts' power. We call them the Souls of Ghosts which contain

strong Dark Enlightenment," Samson explained.

"The Souls of Ghosts do have the Dark Enlightenment. Unfortunately, they are useless to us." Ricky

and Terrence were slightly disappointed upon hearing Samson's explanation and realizing the reality

that the amount of available force would hardly benefit them, if at all.

After all, they were not practicing the Dark Enlightenment. The Souls of Ghosts were supposed to only

attract the warriors who had cultivated the Dark Enlightenment. Particularly, only those from the

Luxurious Chamber of Commerce could harness the power of the Souls of Ghosts.

"These Souls of Ghosts may be useless for improving our cultivation. But, they are still of great value to

us!" Samson rebutted.

"Samson, what do you mean?" Ricky asked in confusion.

He didn't get an answer to his question. Instead, Samson went on to collect all the Souls of Ghosts,

and then flipped his palms. Soon after, a black compass appeared.

"This is a spiritual weapon!" Ricky exclaimed immediately. As a casting master of Spirit Level, he could

immediately recognize the nature and form of the compass in Samson's palms.

"Exactly! I've forgotten that you are also a casting master of Spirit Level," Samson said. "So, Ricky, can

you guess what kind of spiritual weapon this is?"

Ricky pondered for a few seconds and then answered, "If my guess is right, this must be a spiritual

weapon with a tracking function. Judging from how you had to take it out now, I guess it must have

something to do with these Souls of Ghosts." Although Ricky didn't know the exact relationship

between the souls and the compass, he knew that both must be closely connected.

"Yes, you are quite right! This is a spiritual weapon used as a tracker. It is also known as the Ghost

Tracking Device. As a spiritual weapon, it is cast only to track the whereabouts of powerful ghosts,"

Samson said.

"In order to cast this weapon successfully, the ancestors of our Nanchao Clan spent decades and

countless resources to invite more than a dozen casting masters—all of whom are at the Spirit Level.

They succeeded in this endeavor. The purpose of this weapon was to help the younger disciples of our

clan who enter the Land of Ghosts find the ghosts possessing the power of the second-class and first-

class middle spiritual kings."

"But why do you have to look for these powerful ghosts?" Ricky asked. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Well, for the Enlightening Fruits, of course," Samson said in a straightforward manner.

"The Enlightening Tree filled with Enlightening Fruits grows in the area that is extremely hard to find. If

you tried to find it aimlessly, it would be impossible for you to find it."

After pausing to catch his breath, Samson continued, "In general, the place where these powerful

ghosts gather will most likely be the same area where the Enlightening Tree is rooted. More precisely,

where the powerful ghosts reside, it is also where the Enlightening Tree dwells.

This is because the Enlightening Fruits on the tree reinforce the psychic intelligence of these powerful

ghosts."

"Oh, I see now!" Ricky nodded. Samson's explanations were truly helpful and enlightening.

"Akin to hell, the Land of Ghosts, full of dark power, can produce the Enlightening Fruits, a kind of

Treasure from Heaven and Earth which contains the purest enlightening power. This fact completely

proves the law that extremes meet," Terrence interjected, sharing his knowledge about the place where

they currently stood.

"Samson, so, these Souls of Ghosts are the key for the Ghost Tracking Device to track the powerful

ghosts, right?" Ricky asked again.

"Yes. This Ghost Tracking Device can devour the Souls of Ghosts in this land. That is to say, it can

devour the Dark Enlightenment. The more Dark Enlightenment it swallows, the stronger perception of

the powerful ghosts it acquires. In this manner, we can find the location of the Enlightening Tree faster

and with more accuracy."

"Then, before we begin our search for the Enlightening Tree, we must first kill quite a number of these

ghosts," Ricky said as he exchanged a look with Terrence.

"Samson, there is one more thing I want to ask," Ricky added, his eyes still brimming with curiosity and

questions.

"Does it have something to do with Martin? Do you want to know whether he and his group also

possess a Ghost Tracking Device or not?" Samson asked directly. It was surprising how he was able to

read Ricky's thoughts effortlessly.

"Exactly!" Ricky instantly replied. Before he could hunt more Souls of Ghosts, he had to first find out

more about his opponents' situation.

"They don't, but they are aware that I have one in my hands. This is probably the real reason why they

no longer fought with us when we were still outside the Land of Ghosts earlier," Samson replied

introspectively as he rubbed his thumb with his chin. "His strategy is clear. First, he will leave us alone

and make us do all the hard work in searching for the Enlightening Fruits by using this Ghost Tracking

Device. Once we find the fruits and they find the perfect opening, that's when they'll strike and seize the

fruits from our possession."

"They really had an elaborate plan. It's a pity they miscalculated the situation. The moment they

crossed paths with me, that was when their plan was doomed to fail," Ricky responded softly but surely

upon discovering his opponents' plan. Samson and Carley couldn't help but be startled by the

confidence that Ricky exuded.

"Soar's battle should be over in a second!" Ricky blurted with excitement. His attention shifted back to

Soar, who was busy fighting against the ghost.

Bang! Bang! By this time, the ghost had now been suppressed completely by Soar.

How was that possible? Firstly, since the ghost no longer had flesh and body, its combat power was

immensely reduced. Secondly, Soar's skill, the Heaven Melting Fire, had the power to restrain the

power of ghosts especially when it was used at full capacity.

"Soar, hurry up and end the battle. Next, we need to hunt more ghosts," Ricky urged.

"Ricky, I get it!" Soar replied at once. Obviously, defeating the ghost was not his ultimate purpose at the

moment. He knew that they had a more pressing task to finish. Thus, he understood Ricky right away

and so he had no other choice but to hasten his fight.

Soar yelled with much force from his inner core, "Dragon Battle Technique, Heaven-melting Flame

Skill!" He summoned and invoked one of his powerful skills. Shortly after calling out his mighty

technique, Soar released a fierce attack. His Heaven Melting Fire was transformed into the virtual

shadow of a fire dragon. The virtual shadow then wrapped itself around Soar's right fist, before it

whirled quickly and violently toward the ghost.
