Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 597

Ou Yangming brought Big Yellow into the crystal wall, whereas Immortal Fox returned helplessly to the peak but realized that Ghost Mo, the Insects' top-grade spirit beast, had left discreetly.

Nonetheless, Ghost Mo's leaving did not catch anyone's attention because there were no restraints in this place. In particular, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had once said that every top-grade spirit beast in the Spiritual Realm could head to the peak to seek pieces of equipment and come and go as they wished.

When the other equal-ranked spirit beasts questioned Immortal Fox, it told them the truth, but it could not be bothered if they believed it or not.

After entering the crystal wall and retracing his steps back to the starting point, Ou Yangming's eyes tensed up because he saw a powerhouse that should not appear here.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One—the formidable Venerable One—was quietly waiting with a serious look on its face.

Ou Yangming was hesitant, but he still went forward and greeted the Venerable One, “Greetings, Venerable One.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded and remarked, “You fella, you did quite well and exceeded my expectations.”

“Thanks for your praise, Venerable One,” Ou Yangming responded humbly.

“Hehe.” The Venerable One chuckled. “After seeing your performances, I believe you now but…” It stared at the young fellow and questioned, “Did you smith the so-called Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment by yourself?”

Ou Yangming knew since the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was Multi-armed King Kong's father, he would not be able to hide the truth from the powerhouse forever.

He nodded and answered with a heroic spirit, “Yes, I was the one that came up with the Thunderbolt-resistance Equipment, but Multi-armed King Kong and the others told me that it's different from the ones in the Spiritual Realm.”

“It's different? What do you mean?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One frowned.

At this point, it even had a stern look on its face.

Anything related to the Heavenly Thunderbolts must not be neglected in the Spiritual Realm.

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “I can't give you a clear explanation, so you should ask Multi-armed King Kong when it returned.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked deeply at him and was rather displeased. Even so, when it recalled the unusual scene that was previously displayed by the young fellow, as well as the relations.h.i.+p between his soul and that of Multi-armed King Kong, it immediately suppressed its thought to question him closely.

Since there was a soul contract, Ou Yangming secured an invincible position.

No matter what, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One would not let its proudest son end up having its soul gone and scattered.

It sighed and noted, “Fine, once you return to the Humans' boundary, let it know to come home to take a look.”

“Yes,” Ou Yangming replied to it with respect.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One then turned around and stated loudly, “You can stay here and leave only after the meet is over.”

Ou Yangming thought, 'That's exactly what I want.'

With that, he stayed inside the crystal wall and waited quietly. For the following days, various masters inside auctioned their pieces of equipment and pills outside the crystal wall. They noticed him but apart from Gao Mingjie, the others did not pay much attention to him, let alone greeting him.

This was because they thought Ou Yangming was the nephew of a certain master and had only joined the Trading Meet to gain some experience.

It was a common scene, hence they did not think much of it.

Along the way, several masters climbed to the peak when they took breaks between smithing pieces of equipment or refining pills, but they quickly walked back down looking troubled.

Ou Yangming was not surprised. After all, the requests made by the powerful top-grade spirit beasts were too demanding, so much so that the local masters from the Spiritual Realm were deeply troubled.

After several days, when a chime that resounded through the mountain was heard, the Trading Meet came to a complete end.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. He no longer smithed during the last few days, but he did not sit by idly. The young fellow revised everything he learned after entering the mountain, by which he consolidated the knowledge he gained. In particular, he attached a lot of importance to the different Intermediate Rune Skills.

When the macaque approached Ou Yangming to tell him that the Trading Meet had ended, he instantly left the crystal wall. Along with Big Yellow, he found Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard, then he left the mountain with them.

At the foot of the mountain, Bai Zhiyi, his 3 juniors, and Lin Feifeng had already been waiting for a long time.

Nevertheless, Lin Feifeng was not talking cheerfully as he did before when he was with Ou Yangming. He stood behind Bai Zhiyi obediently and smiled bitterly at the young fellow.

Ou Yangming was sharp. Given Bai Zhiyi's special ident.i.ty, he naturally would not make things difficult for Lin Feifeng on purpose, but their statuses were Heaven and Earth apart, thus Lin Feifeng would not dare to be unrestrained in front of the elder.

“Senior Bai, Brother Lin, it has been a long time since we last met.” Ou Yangming stepped forward and smiled.

“Lil' Friend Ou, I made a trip to the crystal wall and found out about your deeds. You're amazing.” Bai Zhiyi nodded with a bright smile and gave the young fellow a thumbs-up. He later sighed and commented, “It's fine that you're exceptionally gifted, but I didn't know that you're so wealthy too. I'm ashamed for being inferior to you.”

“Senior Bai, what do you mean?” Ou Yangming was slightly stunned.

Bai Zhiyi grinned and explained, “You have plenty of White Silver Spirit Ores with you. Did you stumble upon a White-Silver-level spirit ore mine?”

Ou Yangming tensed up as he responded, “It was pure coincidence that I was able to obtain those spirit ores; I didn't find them from a White-Silver-level spirit ore mine.”

“Lil' Friend Ou, you misunderstood me. I was only kidding.” Bai Zhiyi waved his hand, then he continued after a pause, “Given your skills and talent in smithing art, even if you found a White-Silver-level spirit ore mine, n.o.body will have the guts to lay their hands on you.”

“I hope so.” Ou Yangming shrugged.

He became alert again. Smithing pieces of White Silver Equipment using merged White-Silver-level spirit ores was more secretive than directly using power ores. Despite that, after taking out plenty of such spirit ores, it was inevitable for him to draw suspicion to himself.

Ou Yangming turned to look at Lin Feifeng, then he asked with a joyful smile, “Brother Lin, where do you plan to go now that the Trading Meet is over?”

Lin Feifeng answered right away, “I'm planning to return to my sect. Brother Ou, are you willing to travel with me?”

“I couldn't have asked for more, Brother Lin.” Ou Yangming chuckled.

He had decided to enter the Humans' boundary, then he would slowly inquire about the lower realm. Although the young fellow was not aware of the specific situation in the Spiritual Realm, since someone dared to do something about the lower realm, it must be someone superior. As such, it would not be a big issue to find some clues.

Besides, after entering the Humans' boundary, he would probably be able to sense the rough location of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk.

Even if a secret art was adopted for concealment, it would be difficult to completely cut off the links of soul contracts.

“Lil' Friend Ou, since you're extremely gifted, you don't need to waste your time at all.” Bai Zhiyi suddenly pulled a long face and expressed after a pause, “I'm a successor from the Beast King Sect, and I have some insights in smithing art. If you're willing to join our sect, I can guarantee you that all of the secret smithing techniques will be accessible to you, and you'll be provided enough smithing resources so that you'll become a Grandmaster as soon as possible.”

Lin Feifeng was startled for a while, and his face reddened. When he thought about the Beast King Sect's influence and inheritance, he instantly looked gloomy.

This was because he knew very well that while his sect had their way of doing things, they were far from the magnificent Beast King Sect.

The Beast King Sect was one of the Humans' Nine Great Sects in Danzhou, and they had numerous secret techniques. They did not come first in terms of smithing art, but they could not be compared by Lin Feifeng's sect.

Since Ou Yangming was valued by Bai Zhiyi so much, what else could Lin Feifeng say?

Who knew, Ou Yangming simply smiled and rejoined, “Senior Bai, thanks for your good intention, but I can't join the Beast King Sect.”

Bai Zhiyi was dumbfounded. “Why?”

Behind him, his 3 juniors were slightly mad.

The Beast King Sect was influential and well-known in Danzhou, such that a human cultivator would likely be surprised yet overjoyed if one was recruited by them. It was their first time meeting someone that rejected an offer so firmly.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and explained, “Frankly speaking, I got separated with a few of my companions when I got here. Ah, no matter what, I must find them first.”

Bai Zhiyi was relieved, and he said with a smile, “You're trying to find your companions? That's easy—leave it to me.” He raised his eyebrows and continued, “As long as they're in the Humans' boundary, I a.s.sure you that I'll be able to find them.”

Lin Feifeng was rather jealous as he watched from the side but deep down he was in admiration. This was the foundation of a supreme sect, which could easily boast about what they could do.

Ou Yangming was moved. “Alright, I'm looking for 2 men. One of them is Wu Yuanwei while the other's Hong Feiyu, and they're both Extreme Grade cultivators.

“I've remembered their names. Don't worry, I'll notify you once I receive any news.” Bai Zhiyi smiled proudly and waved his hand. “I've greeted the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, so let's leave the mountain now.”

Lin Feifeng was hesitant to speak, but he finally sighed and gave up wanting to invite Ou Yangming.

Bai Zhiyi suddenly told him, “Lin Feifeng, since you hit it off with Lil' Friend Ou, how about you be our guest at the Beast King Sect for a few days too? I'll write a letter to your master to let him know that I'm inviting you to learn in our sect for 3 years. I suppose he won't object to the idea.”

Lin Feifeng's eyes lit up at once, and he bowed deeply at Bai Zhiyi. “Thank you, senior.”

Ou Yangming nodded to himself. 'This elder does everything so appropriately that n.o.body can reproach him.'

He turned to glance at the mountain and thought, 'There must be some connection between the Beast King Sect and the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, but it's beyond my understanding for now.'

However, Ou Yangming and the others did not know that when they left the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, deep inside the forest on the mountain, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had an unpredictable look in its eyes as if it was making an incredibly tough decision.
