Immortal Path to Heaven c1-725

by Heaven's White Crane

The spirit beast blinked its large eyes and did not resist at all. It allowed the light to surround it, then it slowly entered the space inside the band.

  As Ou Yangming shook his wrist, the light disappeared. He was amazed when he looked at the band.

  ‘The little red bird’s Interspatial Art is truly unbelievable. Sure enough, a humongous creature like the turtle can be kept inside too.’

  When his mental conception entered the band, he saw the spirit turtle curling up its body indeed. The turtle seemed to be satisfied with its surroundings, but it extended its neck and mumbled, “Ah, it’ll be great if there’s seawater…”

  Ou Yangming pondered and could not help but laugh.

  Nevertheless, after glancing at the little red bird, he flashed to the seaside and immersed his band into the water.

  Once he opened up the space in the band, plenty of seawater entered the space.

  The spirit turtle stretched its neck and was about to sleep when there was a heavy pour from the sky without warning. The rain came down with vengeance as though it was going to flood the world inside.

  “Thank you, sir!” The spirit turtle widened its eyes and was elated.

  Even though it previously treated Ou Yangming with enough respect for the sake of Multi-armed King Kong, deep down it could not approve of a human.

  When abundant seawater entered the space, allowing the spirit turtle to get its beauty sleep, its attitude changed drastically.

  Ou Yangming grinned and continued to absorb the seawater. He only stopped when the space inside was half-filled.

  The little red bird was indifferent toward everything else but gave its opinion on the matter related to the spirit turtle. Perhaps the little bird thought that bringing the spirit turtle back to the upper realm would be enough, but Ou Yangming thought further than that.

  Since the spirit turtle was a mascot and killing it would be a bad omen, he figured that he would take the chance to fawn over it to leave a good impression. In any case, he only needed to pour in some seawater, and he could easily recover the mental power consumed.

  As expected, the spirit turtle lowered its head and closed its eyes as it was pleased. After falling sound asleep, Ou Yangming felt a subtle change around his body.

  The change was indescribable, but he seemed to be able to sense it.

  Ou Yangming asked after some thought, “Elder Sister Ying, Jiumei, what do you feel?”

  “What do we feel?” Ni Yinghong was surprised. “Lil’ Ming, what do you mean?”

  “Don’t you feel any change in the surroundings?” Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice.

  Ni Yinghong shook her head dumbfoundedly and exchanged glances with Jiang Jiumei, who was also bewildered.

  Hong Feiyu’s face changed, and he asked softly, “Brother Ou, did that loafer lie? Is another spirit beast from the Aquatics lurking somewhere?”

  He carefully sensed his surroundings too but did not find his answer. Despite that, after witnessing the real strengths of Ou Yangming and his pet beasts, as well as the interspatial equipment that could keep the spirit turtle, he dared not be disrespectful nor envious.

  Being able to admit that someone else was superior, and being willing to bow before a powerhouse, were the greatest life-saving skills Hong Feiyu learned from the upper realm.

  Ou Yangming shook his head. “If that loader lied, and another spirit beast is indeed here, you couldn’t have met us safely, Brother Hong.”

  Hong Feiyu flushed and chuckled embarrassedly.

  Indeed, he found it difficult to go against a spirit turtle. If another spirit beast sneaked an attack on him, he might not have survived.

  Ou Yangming glanced at the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong but found that the formidable spirit beasts were dazed too, and they did not understand what he was talking about. The young fellow furrowed his eyebrows and thought, ‘Was I mistaken just now?’

  However, his eyes lit up when he finally looked at the little red bird.

  The little fellow was also staring at him. Once they communicated through their eyes, they could sense each other’s thoughts.

  ‘Are the little red bird and me the only ones that could sense the mysterious change?’ Even so, Ou Yangming could not figure out what the change meant.

  “Brother Ou, King Kong, check and see how many great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts are gathered here and get rid of them.” Ou Yangming waved his hand and instructed, but he quickly added after a pause, “If you find any turtles, spare them.”

  Multi-armed King Kong opened its mouth and roared. It moved and entered the sea by taking just one stride. It did not care if it would get into the formation left by the spirit turtle, thus it simply went into the sea in a tyrannical manner. The king kong was obviously a spirit beast that focused on tempering its physical body but given its cultivation base, it could also utilize its mental conception very well.

  It scanned with its mental conception and identified its targets right away. Following that, it crouched and extended all 8 of its arms in different directions.

  Without any resistance, each of Multi-armed King Kong’s hands carried a destructive power. Therefore, when it put its hands into the water, countless aquatics that came into contact with its hands were shocked to death by the powers. Of course, the king kong had accidentally inflicted harm on those creatures, but it did not care at all because its targets were the great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts from the Aquatics.

  “Boom…”

  Accompanied by the rumbling sounds of billowing waves, Multi-armed King Kong went back and forth in the water. Its arms moved up and down swiftly as it hurled powerful aquatics to the shore one after another. The aquatics varied in size, but they released auras of a powerhouse without any exception. Even after being slapped or crushed to death by the king kong, their auras would not disappear for some time.

  Great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts—each of them was a great-ancestor-level half spirit beast.

  In just a brief moment, over 100 of such half-spirit beasts were killed.

  Ou Yangming was also shocked upon seeing this. The Aquatics occupied the entire sea and every lake, hence they were far mightier than he could imagine. In fact, as compared to the Aquatics, the powerhouses from the three other races lacked in numbers.

  Naturally, numerous great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts gathered because the spirit turtle was keeping watch in this area. Without the gigantic spirit turtle, those half-spirit beasts would scatter in different areas in the sea and would not stand out so much.

  Hong Feiyu moved, but he turned a little pale after he saw the domineering Multi-armed King Kong in the sea.

  The enormous beast was too potent. He imagined himself staying in the same zone with the king kong but wondered, ‘If it suddenly goes mad and slaps me, won’t I die a graveless death?’

  He twitched his mouth and flashed a flattering smile at Ou Yangming. “Brother Ou, having King Kong in the water is enough, so I’ll settle the aquatics on the shore instead.”

  Ou Yangming looked at the monstrous king kong then at the small Hong Feiyu and laughed. “Alright, thanks for the trouble, Brother Hong.”

  It would be unbelievable to see a Spirit Grade powerhouse clean up carcasses in this realm, but Hong Feiyu did it willingly. As long as he was not with the killing god, he would be willing to do anything.

  While Hong Feiyu was not as capable as the king kong, he was a knowledgeable person, so he settled the Aquatics’ great ancestors on the shore in no time.

  Not only did he dig out their inner cores, but he also conveniently dissected them and separated useful and useless things.

  Perhaps Hong Feiyu wanted to display his powers in front of Ou Yangming, he worked at lightning speed, causing the others to be dazzled.

  The king kong scanned its surroundings and confirmed that there were no other notable aquatics around it, so it stopped. Nonetheless, the others were soon focused on Hong Feiyu and were in awe of his speed and consistency when he man
aged the carcasses.

  Multi-armed King Kong blinked and asked, “What exactly did that fella do in the upper realm?’

  Given that Hong Feiyu was so skillful, he must have practiced this countless times. It was definitely impossible in this realm, but there were many possibilities in the upper realm.

  Hong Feiyu handled all of the carcasses very quickly. He later stood up straight and explained with a smile, “Sir King Kong, I was an appraiser before I entered Spirit Grade.”

  Chapter 508 - The Disaster Is Over

  “An appraiser? Brother Hong, since you’re an appraiser, do you also need to…” Ou Yangming was surprised. He glanced at the sorted carcasses on the ground and found his answer.

  Appraisers were an extremely respectable profession in this realm. If someone asked them to handle dead bodies, that person would definitely be angrily rebuked.

  “Brother Ou, appraisers need great mental power that can communicate with nature. There are very few of such people over here, but they can be found everywhere in the upper realm, so they’re not rare at all.” Hong Feiyu sighed and added after a pause, “But if one’s cultivation base is in Spirit Grade or possesses appraisal art equivalent to a caster’s level, it’ll be an entirely different story.” As he spoke, he could not help but look at Ni Yinghong and remarked, “If Young Lady Ni can enter the upper realm and unleashes her mental power skills, she’ll have a promising future.”

  He was a bodybuilder, but he deeply envied casters that could control nature through their mental powers.

  When he saw Ni Yinghong, he even had the thought of snatching her to his side. Needless to say, he dared not have such a wild wish anymore.

  Ou Yangming nodded and said in a deep voice, “Brother Hong, I’d like to know more about the upper realm. If you’re free, you might as well give me some pointers.”

  Hong Feiyu was stunned. “Brother Ou, what did you say? The upper realm…”

  He had a strange look on his face, which was obvious that he was shocked.

  Ou Yangming found it odd too. “Yes, the upper realm. Is it inappropriate?”

  “Brother Ou, did you really not descend from the upper realm?” Hong Feiyu twitched his mouth and smiled bitterly.

  “What tells you that I’m from the upper realm?” Ou Yangming grinned.

  Hong Feiyu was startled for a while before he mumbled, “Impossible—that’s impossible! How can a powerhouse like you exist in this realm?”

  Given that Ou Yangming was a powerful caster, and Big Yellow was a spirit beast kept by the Humans, they seemed to be from an influential clan or a great force from the upper realm.

  In particular, Hong Feiyu firmly believed that after seeing the mighty auras of the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong.

  He figured that Ou Yangming was a powerhouse that came from the upper realm and concealed his identity. As for the reason the young fellow came to the lower realm and hid his true identity, Hong Feiyu also knew there was a deep meaning behind it, and he could neither guess nor delve into it.

  However, Hong Feiyu was completely bewildered by Ou Yangming’s question.

  ‘Is Ou Yangming really a powerhouse that grew up here? But it doesn’t seem possible at all.’

  Hong Feiyu turned his head strenuously and looked at the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong with the weirdest look possible.

  ‘Are these two massive creatures really willing to submit themselves to a human from the lower realm?’

  The goshawk and the king kong looked coldly at Hong Feiyu. They were not humans, but they were experienced enough to tell what the man was thinking.

  In actuality, they did not become Ou Yangming’s pet beasts because of him, but because they were ordered to do so by an indescribably noble being. Nonetheless, they were completely convinced when Ou Yangming retrieved his Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.

  Nevertheless, they could not bother to explain everything to Hong Feiyu.

  Ou Yangming frowned. “Brother Hong, since you’ve decided to follow me for a century, is there a need to distinguish my origin so clearly?”

  Hong Feiyu immediately responded, “Brother Ou, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m only worried that… Ah, I’m worried that you can’t get through the interspatial passage!”

  “Everything will turn out right, so don’t worry too much.” Ou Yangming chuckled and looked away. “Bring these back. The Humans’ disaster is over.”

  Behind him, Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei trembled a little.

  To those who knew about the Humans’ disaster, it was known as something that could eliminate the Humans. In past generations, the Humans must pay huge prices to resolve the disasters one by one. It was said that during the most dangerous experience, even the imperial family’s greatest powerhouse perish together with a spirit beast to protect the people.

  This time, Ou Yangming suddenly emerged during the disaster.

  He traveled eight counties and resolved every crisis. Although the process was filled with danger, as compared to the various disasters told in legends, his journey was a smooth one.

  Apart from the Insects, which lost all three of their spirit beasts, the spirit beasts from the three other races were all subdued by Ou Yangming. The glorious achievement was certainly something unprecedented that no one will follow.

  The young fellow deserved to say that.

  “Lil’ Ming.” Ni Yinghong curled her lips into a smile. She looked at Ou Yangming with a complicated look in her eyes and muttered, “You’re truly amazing.”

  She recalled when she first met Ou Yangming and thought about how he dashed on bravely regardless of danger for Old Craftsman. The young fellow became one of the mightiest beings in human history in the blink of an eye, and the change was simply unbelievable.

  Even though Ni Yinghong had almost witnessed everything from the start till the end, she still felt like she was dreaming.

  Ou Yangming approached her with a smile and gently embraced her. “Elder Sister Ying, everything’s over now, and we’ll have better lives in the future.”

  Ni Yinghong nodded in his arms and leaned against him. Her body was soft as if she was powerless.

  Jiang Jiumei suddenly laughed and commented, “Elder Brother, Elder Sister Ying, are you planning to cling to each other here without an end?”

  Ni Yinghong blushed, and she broke free from Ou Yangming’s embrace. “Bad girl, don’t speak nonsense and watch what you’re saying!”

  Jiang Jiumei covered her mouth as she giggled with her eyes squinted.

  Ou Yangming shook his head and forced a smile. He knew Ni Yinghong was sensitive, thus he dared not go forward anymore. He ordered Multi-armed King Kong and Hong Feiyu to gather the sorted carcasses, then he stored them in another interspatial bag.

  After seeing Ou Yangming retrieve interspatial bags one after another, Hong Feiyu could not help but look envious. Those were interspatial bags, after all, and they were brand new treasures, which were much better than his incredibly old one.

  Even so, he dared not request one from Ou Yangming because he did not want to bring contempt upon himself.

  Once everything was settled, Ou Yangming ordered the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong to wait outside the city while the others returned to Canghai City and entered the city easily.

  Due to the beast tide, Canghai City had long practiced orders such as curfew. Other than Supreme Great Ancestors and soldiers in charge of guarding the city, people rarely roamed everywhere in the city. Moreover, the gate was also shut and could not be opened apart from fixed timings.

  When Ou Yangming left with Hong Feiyu and the others, Feng Yiyuan and his people were rather afraid because Canghai City was not watched over by a Spirit Grade powerhouse anymore. If the spirit beast suddenly attacked, the entire city might fall.

  Therefore, Feng Yiyuan and the others instantly ordered to strictly guard the whole city. Before Hong Feiyu and the others returned, they must not make any careless mistakes. During the period, even the slightest mo
vement on the sea could frighten the people.

  This was the perfect example of how a top-notch powerhouse could become a city’s stabilizer.

  As long as the finest powerhouse was still standing, the people would have an expectation, and they would be willing to fight until the end because of the expectation.

  On the other hand, if the people knew their reliance had collapsed and that they could not avoid being eliminated even if they fought with their lives, the morale in the city would sink. Not to mention powerhouses from the Aquatics were still keeping an eye on them from the outside, even the people themselves could not hold on any longer.

  Instead of being at the top of the walls, Feng Yiyuan and his people were discussing the matter in his residence.

  All of a sudden, the horn was sounded loudly on the walls.

  Feng Yiyuan and the others tensed up but after identifying the sound, they were elated. This was because they could tell the horn was not sounded to alarm the people but to welcome noble guests.

  At this time, there was only one group of people that the soldiers atop the walls would regard as noble guests.

  Feng Yiyuan flashed and hurried toward the gate. Behind him, Xiao Hualing, Huyan Mao, Zhong Fengcai, and a few people looked at each other, but they dared not hesitate at all, so they quickly followed him.

  They knew Ou Yangming and his companions had left for the fearsome shoal, which was the hiding spot of the terrifying spirit turtle.

  While they knew Ou Yangming and his people combined were much more forceful than Hong Feiyu alone, they had provoked the spirit beast before but suffered a crushing defeat, hence they were uncertain.

  Feng Yiyuan and the others gathered together and prayed that Ou Yangming and his people could kill the Aquatics’ spirit beast and make a triumphant return.

  Having said that, the young fellow and his companions returned after being gone for less than half a day, which was too fast.

  At this moment, Feng Yiyuan and his people even suspected if the horrifying spirit turtle was no longer on the beach. If that was not the case, perhaps Ou Yangming and his fellows had a rough start and returned defeated because they could not break the spirit turtle’s formation.
