Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 561

An ape cupped its hands like a human. Without looking at its appearance and by only listening to it, n.o.body would have suspected if it said it was a polite gentleman.

Ou Yangming twitched his eyebrows and had a strange look on his face.

According to what he knew, beast cultivators could speak the human language too, but they could normally do that after they became spirit beasts.

Before becoming a spirit beast, even the intelligent Big Yellow could only bark without being able to communicate with ordinary people.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming's understanding was overturned by the ape in front of him.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Your Excellency, may I ask which Venerable One is it?”

The ape answered proudly, “Since we're on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, there can only be one Venerable One.”

Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard were so agitated that they trembled, and they looked eagerly at Ou Yangming. Although they did not have the right to call the shots, it was evident from their expressions that they would love to meet the Venerable One.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. 'Why did that Venerable One suddenly want to invite me? Why do I sense a familiar aura from that direction?'

It seemed like he would only find answers if he met the Venerable One.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming was not willing to meet the Beasts' Venerable One if it was possible. This was because the Ghost-clawed Venerable One truly left him a terrible impression.

After estimating his chances of escaping from the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, he finally sighed and said, “Your Excellency, please lead the way.”

Unless Ou Yangming immediately retrieved the long bamboo that represented an interspatial node to flee through an opened s.p.a.ce, it would be nearly impossible for him to get away from the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Even so, after having just gotten out from the s.p.a.ce of nothingness, the young fellow was not willing to go back at all.

The ape bowed at him again and headed toward the mountains in the distance.

Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard were overjoyed as they looked at each other. It seemed like being summoned by the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was an extremely glorious thing to them.

The ape was incredibly fast. It arrived at a mountain range after only 15 minutes.

Layers of white mist surrounded the mountain range. As remarkable as Ou Yangming's vision was, he could not see through the mist.

Nevertheless, when the ape arrived in front of the white mist, they automatically moved to the sides and revealed a smooth path as though they had life and wisdom.

Ou Yangming was surprised. He released his mental power to sense the white mist but realized that they were formed weirdly and not naturally. Despite that, given the situation, he dared not study the mist in detail, hence he could only suppress his curiosity and followed the ape onto the path.

The pa.s.sage was not long, but even Ou Yangming's heart beat faster when he walked on it.

All of a sudden, they were greeted with something bright as they went past the mist.

When Ou Yangming blinked and finally adapted to the brightness, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “King Kong?”

At the end of the white mist was an old ape with tall stature and a dignified appearance, but it had 6 more arms than normal apes, making it look like a reprint of Multi-armed King Kong no matter the angle. No, it would be more appropriate to say that it was the king kong's model because its build was too far from the king kong's.

The old ape stood up straight but only had a similar build as Ou Yangming. It could not be mentioned on equal terms with King Kong, which had a burly and mountainous body.

“Who's King Kong?” The old ape turned and asked.

Ou Yangming could sense its vague aura, and his face had taken on a ghastly expression long ago. This was because he knew the supreme powerhouse in front of him was surely closely related to Multi-armed King Kong.

Not to mention the old ape was a shrunken version of the king kong, its aura alone was enough to confirm this.

The young fellow smiled bitterly. With a flash of thought, he released the aura of the king kong's illusory figure inside his sea of consciousness.

Next, the old ape had an exceptionally fearsome look in its eyes. It swayed its body and arrived in front of Ou Yangming right away, then it stared at his eyes with a threatening killing intent that filled the whole area.

Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard fell to the ground almost at the same time. Their eyes were filled with indescribable fear.

'Ah, this is Sir Venerable One. We're especially blessed to be able to meet it.' Having said that, before they could even move forward to greet the Venerable One, it was infuriated and showed its viciousness toward Ou Yangming. As such, they were almost frightened out of their wits.

Ou Yangming twitched his eyebrows but did not move at all. He continued to release Multi-armed King Kong's soul aura.

After some time, the old ape's sinister voice was heard. “Why did my child acknowledge you as its master?”

Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard widened their eyes at the same time. 'Did we hear it wrongly? The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One's child actually acknowledged this human master as its master? It's simply unbelievable!”

Ou Yangming shook his head and answered, “I have no idea.”

“Heh, you have no idea…” The old ape uttered leisurely, “I'll let you know then!”

It reached out its finger and slowly pointed it at Ou Yangming.

On its fingertip was a faint light, which was so peculiar that anyone would be terrified.

Ou Yangming was horrified, but he did not want to suffer for nothing. Without any hesitation, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness burned, and almost concurrently, he recalled the dragon and the phoenix's appearance inside Lil' Red's spiritual world.

The enormous dragon was as firm as a mountain while the phoenix did not show a weak impression at all.

At this moment, the images of the 2 appalling prehistoric creatures were born in Ou Yangming's mind in an unimaginable way.

In actuality, Ou Yangming could not have triggered the images with his power alone. He had only reproduced the images of the spine-chilling creatures because the Military Fire and the queer Devouring attribute in his sea of consciousness seemed to have unleashed magical effects.

When the old ape's finger just only touched the spot between Ou Yangming's eyebrows, its body quivered, and a menacing voice burst out from its throat. It sounded unbelievably forceful, so much so that its sound waves caused Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard to roll their eyes and pa.s.s out.

As for Big Yellow, it endured the soundwaves tenaciously under Ou Yangming's intentional protection.

“Woosh…”

The old ape withdrew its hand abruptly, which was 1,000 times faster than when it reached out to Ou Yangming earlier.

It took a step back and looked quietly at Ou Yangming, but there was a strange look in its eyes.

'The appearance of a dragon and a phoenix—this was definitely what I saw. But why did I see it inside a tiny human cultivator's sea of consciousness?'

“You—who exactly are you?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One questioned, “What's your relations.h.i.+p with them?”

Just by seeing the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One dared not act rashly.

The more profound one's cultivation base, the more one was afraid of the ancient legendary dragon and phoenix, which were divine creatures. Moreover, it knew very well that if Ou Yangming was unrelated to any of them, he could not have shown the unusual scene.

Ou Yangming was secretly relieved. He naturally had nothing to do with the dragon or the phoenix, but it would not stop him from relying on their powers to frighten others.

He cleared his throat and answered, “Senior, I only met Multi-armed King Kong once, but it insisted on acknowledging me as its master. I have no idea what happened, but I figured that it has something to do with them.” He smiled bitterly.

Judging from the fact that Multi-armed King Kong was near the peak for a spirit beast, how could it have willingly wors.h.i.+pped him after their first meeting.

Besides, the goshawk had also asked to become his follower after he burned it and forced it to leave.

Ou Yangming used to be very alert about this, but he was not dubious anymore after he became close to the little red bird; he found out who the mastermind was.

Of course, he would only keep it to himself. Even if a Venerable One forced an answer out of him, he would not reveal everything in detail.

The old ape looked deeply at Ou Yangming as if it wanted to see what exactly was unique about the young fellow, such that he managed to show the unusual phenomenon. That said, it gained nothing even after staring at the young fellow for a long time.

It sighed moments later and said, “Sit.”

Many stone benches were placed on the mountain range. They varied in height but had particularly s.h.i.+ny surfaces as though they were cleaned every day.

Ou Yangming saluted the old ape with respect and said, “Thank you, elder.”

He slowly sat, whereas the fat antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard continued to lay on the ground as they dared not get up.

“Senior, how do you and King Kong address each other?”

The old ape spoke as if it forgot about their confrontation earlier, “That fella's my child. Since it acknowledged you as its master, you'll take good care of it, right?”

Ou Yangming answered without any hesitation, “King Kong's my best partner, so I'll treat it with due respect and won't let anyone bully it.”

“Bully?” The old ape laughed and remarked, “I'll be glad if it doesn't bully others.”

The young fellow was stunned. It recalled King Kong's childish nature and did not know to cry or to laugh. Nonetheless, he confirmed the Venerable One's ident.i.ty because of this.

“Did King Kong follow you here?”

“Senior, it's up here already.” Ou Yangming answered right away.

The old ape frowned and sighed. “I made a lot of effort to send it there. Why did it return in such a hurry?”

Curious, Ou Yangming questioned, “Senior, why did you send it… There?”

“Since you're allies now, are you not aware of its power?”

Ou Yangming forced a smile and answered, “Its power is formidable, and it's nothing like I've ever seen.”

“Mm, can you tell how long it'll take before it draws the Heavenly Thunderbolts?”
