Meng Chu ignored the ghostfire drifting across the sky and crossed straight over a thousand mountains and ten thousand ravines to reach the Main Peak.
Ahead, a giant eye that seemed embedded in the void turned toward him. Within its scarlet pupil lay a mind-seizing spiritual force.
Meng Chu beckoned with one hand, raised it above his head, and called out clearly, "I request the Soul-Summoning Banner!"
The Soul-Summoning Banner!
The name sounded utterly unremarkable, yet it referred to the supreme treasure long enshrined within the Ghost Soul Sect-the Dao Artifact, the Soul-Summoning Banner!
Dao Artifacts were supreme Magic Treasures ranked above high-grade treasures. They could be called manifestations of the power of origins, and were also among the many forms a Dao Fruit could take.

Mighty experts of this world had long studied this and concluded that Dao Fruits were solidified laws, much as spiritual energy corresponded to spirit stones, spirit crystals, immortal jade, and similar substances.
These were treasures that anchored the fortunes of truly supreme powers. Unless forcibly destroyed, they could endure almost forever, possessing an immortal quality that resisted the erosion of time. Even after being destroyed, as long as the Great Dao of heaven and earth remained unchanged and their path endured, they could still condense anew.
This Magic Treasure had always been enshrined at the highest point of Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain, the Ghost Soul Sect's Headquarters. It belonged to none of the sect's mighty beings, but precisely because of that, even a Nascent Soul elder like Meng Chu was entitled to borrow it.
