Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 133

Supreme Great Ancestor, it was the aura of a Supreme Great Ancestor.

Although the great ancestors did not notice it at first, it was because the Land of Inheritance was too important to their clan. The effort put in by the Ni family for the inheritance was far beyond what one could imagine. Therefore, the great ancestors neglected Big Yellow's cultivation base earlier. Of course, it was also because they never imagined the big yellow dog would advance to the next level. Big Yellow was a half-spirit beast, hence the meaning of it being able to become a Supreme Great Ancestor could not be conceived by Ou Yangming, but the Ni family's Three Great Ancestors understood it very well. The elders even forgot about their clan's Land of Inheritance after realizing what had happened.

On the other hand, the big yellow dog's eyes wandered about and it lifted its head proudly with an indifferent look on its face.

Ou Yangming curled his lips and almost laughed out loud. He definitely had not known the dog for a long time, and it was at least a much shorter time than the three Supreme Great Ancestors had known it. Nonetheless, after fighting side by side with the big yellow dog, Ou Yangming understood it better than the few elders did.

It was not only because Ou Yangming and the dog had fought alongside each other in a battle of life or death, but mainly because they had built a wonderful spiritual connection. Despite that, n.o.body else in the world would know of the mysterious matter.

As such, after seeing the big yellow dog's expression, Ou Yangming knew that it was going to stick its tail up.

Sure enough, once the three Supreme Great Ancestors questioned tirelessly, the big yellow dog admitted it. The dog looked as though its advancement into Extreme Grade made sense, and that it would only be unreasonable if it had not broken through!

Nevertheless, the three great ancestors ignored the big yellow dog's pretentious look because they were satisfied that it had indeed entered Extreme Grade.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat when the three elders slowly calmed down.

It was then when the great ancestors remembered that an outsider was still present.

Ni Jingshen said with a red face, “Lil' Ou, we forgot our manners.”

Ou Yangming quickly responded, “Senior, I feel your happiness for Big Yellow, it's fine.” He paused before he added, “Since I've found your clan's Land of Inheritance, I've completed my task. May I leave?”

Ni Jingshen and the other elders exchanged glances, but Ou Yangming vaguely sensed that there was something behind their looks.

Ou Yangming s.h.i.+vered a little. He would never make evil guesses about other people, but he would also not picture a person to have a perfect heart, thus he was alert when he noticed the elders' look.

After all, Ou Yangming found the Ni family's greatest secret, so it would not seem strange even if they murdered him.

“Uhm, Lil' Ou, we promised to teach you the way of using mental power once the Land of Inheritance is found,” Ni Jingshen said after clearing his throat, then added with a kind smile after a pause, “How about you cultivate for a period of time in our clan and leave when you've successfully learned it?” Ou Yangming answered without any hesitation, “Thank you for your kindness, seniors, but I'm truly worried about my elder's health so I'd like to go home. Please forgive me.”

“Lil' Ou, Big Uncle is only doing it out of goodwill, you might lose the chance if you leave now,” Ni Xuetian responded with a frown, then suggested seriously, “You might as well get a servant to send the medicine back home, we'll make sure that nothing goes wrong.”

However, no matter how he tried to persuade, Ou Yangming insisted to leave and even expressed directly, “Thank you for your generosity, but I've made up my mind. I must return to serve the old man. I'll come to apologize for the offense once he recovers.”

Ni Jingshen and the other great ancestors looked displeased because they had joined hands to urge a Yin Grade junior to stay, yet the junior rejected their offer firmly. The embarra.s.sment and unhappiness were making them feel uncomfortable.

If Ou Yangming had not just rendered a commendable service for the Ni family and had an unclear relations.h.i.+p with Ni Yinghong, the elders would have slapped the ungrateful fellow into meat paste long ago. That said, the big yellow dog suddenly stood out at that crucial moment. It made its way to Ou Yangming and sat next to him.

Ou Yangming sighed and said internally, 'Big Yellow, you finally came forward. If you didn't, I might have to give up my life here.'

The big yellow dog cast a disdainful look at him as though it was scorning him for having to rely on it in the end.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh because he knew that Big Yellow was taking revenge on him for mocking it at the Land of Inheritance. Nonetheless, he was glad and content that the big yellow dog had stepped forward for him.

In actual fact, the big yellow dog was the reason Ou Yangming was able to reject the three Supreme Great Ancestors so confidently, so if it still did not stand up for him, he might have to give in to the elders' request.

After all, Ou Yangming had only come to retrieve the spiritual medicine for Old Man. He could persevere to a certain extent, but would not be overly stubborn, hence he would not mind giving the impression of weakness if there was a huge difference in strengths.

In spite of that, Ou Yangming wanted to watch Old Man recover even if he had a slight chance.

Ni Jingshen and the other elders looked at each other as they finally realized something after seeing the big yellow dog's act. After the adventure, it turned out that things had developed beyond their expectations and plan.

“Big Yellow, you're saying…” The big yellow dog barked and leaned against Ou Yangming. This time, as dumb as one was, one could clearly understand what was going on.

Ni Jingshen and the two great ancestors exchanged glances again, but this time, they seemed helpless. “Ah, we've only offered out of kindness, but since you're determined to leave, we shall not force you to stay.” Ni Jingshen hesitated for a while before he added, “We'll send you back now, and get someone to escort you back to the camp.” “Thank you, seniors.” Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief, then tore a piece of cloth to cover his eyes.

Seeing as Ou Yangming was so eager to leave, the elders did not know whether to laugh or to cry. In the Ni family or even the whole prefecture, numerous people would approach the elders to do everything to be recognized! On the opposite, the great ancestors were mercilessly rejected when they actively approached Ou Yangming for an offer. They lamented at the huge contrast.

Following that, Ni Jingshen pulled Ou Yangming to lift him up and flashed to leave the place, whereas the big yellow dog p.r.i.c.ked up its ears and followed them closely.

Ni Jingtong and Ni Xuetian looked at each other and were slightly worried. 'It's not good that Big Yellow is so close to Ou Yangming…! That being said, there was nothing they could do, so they only watched as the big yellow dog followed Ou Yangming and left.

They hurried throughout their journey, and by the time Ou Yangming's blindfold was removed, they had already returned to the Ni residence.

At that moment, those in the clan who were qualified to know of the situation had already gathered to wait for the result. The people who were optimistic had actually thought they would only receive news after roughly half a month, thus they did not expect the three great ancestors to return after less than three days.

Even though the great ancestors were trained to maintain their composure, the gain from the adventure was too ma.s.sive. Not only was their clan's Land of Inheritance found, but Big Yellow had also advanced to Extreme Grade.

The latter's importance was not inferior to the former at all, and in fact, the elders were even more excited about it in a certain way as compared to the Land of Inheritance being found.

Therefore, even the usually stern Ni Jingshen could not hide the smile on his face.

Since the great ancestors contacted the other people and returned so quickly, most people guessed the outcome. With that, the whole Ni residence was filled with a joyous atmosphere. The great ancestors did not stop them because they wanted to boost the clan's morale and cohesion through the matter, so they allowed them to guess as it was what they wanted.

Once Ni Jingshen put down Ou Yangming and removed his blindfold, he said softly, “Lil' Ou, you mustn't easily leak the clan's important place, please forgive me for the request.” “Senior, you're being too polite, it's a matter of course,” Ou Yangming quickly replied to him, then continued after a pause, “Since we're back, I'll bid farewell.”

Ni Xuetian suddenly asked, “Lil' Ou, can you do something before you leave?”

Ou Yangming was startled, but he said, “Please tell me what it is, senior.”

“You probably connected your mental power with Big Yellow before you entered the Chaos Cave, am I right?” Ni Xuetian questioned.

“That's right, I'm guessing that it's Big Yellow's gifted ability, and I truly admire it.” Ou Yangming was moved.

Ni Xuetian laughed and asked in a friendly manner, “Lil' Ou, since you've both returned, the connection no longer has a purpose. Can you remove it?”

While he asked in a negotiating tone, Ou Yangming could see a resolute look through his eyes. Ou Yangming immediately understood that Ni Xuetian would not just let it be if he refused to break the connection.

“Senior, aren't you asking the wrong person? I have no idea how my consciousness is connected with Big Yellow's, so you shouldn't look for me even if you want it removed!” Ou Yangming responded with a bitter smile.

Ni Xuetian grinned and expressed, “Lil' Ou, we can't let someone who has such a connection with Big Yellow to leave the clan no matter what!”

He was very straightforward, but the weight of his words was even more evident because there was no room for discussion.

Ou Yangming's eyes were bright, but he felt chills when he looked at the grinning Ni Xuetian. He nodded after some thought, “Okay, I'll give it a shot!”
