Immortal Path to Heaven

“A good place?” The 2 ape powerhouses noticed the disapproving look in each other"s eyes.

"Zhangzhou has a huge reputation, but how is Danzhou inferior to them?"

They were powerhouses from Danzhou, and they naturally loved their home, hence they could not help but feel jealous when Ou Yangming brought up Zhangzhou.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One frowned and asked, “Master Ou, where"s that good place in Zhangzhou?” It secretly decided that it would object to Ou Yangming"s idea no matter what he said. He was Danzhou"s treasure, thus it was not going to let him wander to Zhangzhou no matter what.

Ou Yangming grinned. “I don"t know if it"s a good place, but it"s attracting me indeed…”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One became more curious. It questioned the young fellow closely, “Where"s that place?”

“I don"t know.” Ou Yangming shook his head.

“You don"t know…” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One clicked its tongue. It had never met anyone that would fool a Venerable One like this.

In actuality, if someone else had spoken nonsense to it, it would have slapped the person to his death right away. Since the person was Ou Yangming, apart from smiling helplessly, there was nothing it could do.

Ou Yangming nodded and asked, “Senior, what do you think about this coffin?” He turned to look at the coffin that gave off an evil aura.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One instantly had a grave look on its face. “Master Ou, are you thinking about going to the Big Ruins?”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. “The Big Ruins? Senior, you know where the coffin came from?”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One pondered for a brief moment before it sighed. “There"s indeed a dangerous place in Zhangzhou, and it"s known as the Big Ruins.” It paused for a while before it continued, “I don"t know its origin either, but I know it"s extremely dangerous such that numerous powerhouses died inside. Master Ou, you mustn"t go there!”

Multi-armed King Kong"s face changed. It immediately shook its head at Ou Yangming as it was worried.

It would be unusually thrilled if it went on an adventure to the Big Ruins on its own, but it was not willing to let Ou Yangming venture into the dangerous land.

Ou Yangming smiled and expressed, “Senior, I"m aware that it"s dangerous there, but the Phoenixes" power that I carry yearns for it!”

He only told half of the truth because apart from the Phoenixes" power, the giant head that was related to the Dragons gave the same reaction too.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was dumbfounded for a while before it finally shook its head and sighed. “I can"t question it anymore since it"s related to the Phoenixes, but you must be careful, Master Ou.”

Ou Yangming nodded sternly. “Thank you, senior.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One shook its head and grabbed Qiu Chengw.a.n.g, who had lost his mind. It later flashed and went far away in a split second.

As for Ou Yangming, he brought King Kong back to the Beast King Sect. Instead of telling everyone that he was attacked, he simply informed Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque about his plan to go on a long journey.

The Venerable Ones were naturally shocked. They tried their best to persuade Ou Yangming as they did not want him to leave the Beast King Sect.

Nonetheless, they shut up right after he told them about the Phoenixes" power"s calling.

Ou Yangming was the Phoenixes" messenger in the Spiritual World. Since the Phoenixes" power sensed something, it would only be reasonable for him to explore further. Perhaps this was the test that was given to him by the phoenix powerhouse, but it might also be a trace that was left behind by the Phoenixes. If Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque caused the young fellow to lose his opportunity by stopping him from leaving, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Yuqi the Venerable One pondered for a long time before he sighed. “Master Ou, since you"ve made up your mind, we can"t stop you anymore. We can only do our best to prepare everything well for you.”

“That"s right.” The old macaque nodded. “I"ll ask Gu Jiacheng to pick a bunch of pills for your journey. I remember that some pills are short, but I"ll make sure that he starts his furnace to refine those pills so that you have everything you need.”

Yuqi the Venerable One nodded. “I"ll ask around about the Big Ruins. Hopefully, it"ll help you with your journey, Master Ou.”

Ou Yangming was grateful when he looked at them as they made him feel warm.

He knew the Venerable Ones treated people differently, where he would not have been recognized by them without his ident.i.ty and strength at the moment. Nevertheless, everyone had sympathy. Since they were doing their best for the young fellow, he would not be unmoved.

“Seniors, I"d like to set out to Zhangzhou, but I"m not in a hurry.” Ou Yangming waved his hand and smiled. “I still need to smith some pieces of equipment and refine some Eternal Pills to store them in the Beast King Sect. I hope that they"ll be useful in the future.”

Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque exchanged glances. They guessed Ou Yangming"s intention at once, so they were surprised and overjoyed.

The Eternal Pills were valuable, but they were not urgently needed, so it would be fine to wait for another decade or century. However, the so-called pieces of equipment were certainly their most desired Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and Earthly Formation Boards.

“Master Ou, what materials do you need? As long as you squeak, I"ll get them ready for you.” The old macaque"s eyes gleamed.

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and thought, "You"re the one that should be squeaking…"

In the next month, Ou Yangming went to the secret realm and brought back 3 sections of the Phoenix Fire Bamboo to the Beast King Sect.

After working together with Gu Jiacheng again, they refined 10 Eternal Pills before they stopped. In actual fact, if Ou Yangming were to act freely, he could almost refine as many Eternal Pills as he wanted. Despite that, things were usually valued in proportion to their rarity. Furthermore, the Eternal Pills had nature-defying effects, so they must not be available in abundance.

Ou Yangming carried half of them with him and left the other half at the Beast King Sect.

The Beast King Sect was one of the Humans" Nine Great Sects in Danzhou. They had an incredibly profound foundation, and they also had a natural alliance, which was the 10,000 Beasts Ridge. As such, they were almost not troubled by anything in Danzhou. Now that Ou Yangming left some Eternal Pills for them, they became more prominent.

Even if the Beast King Sect encountered an unsolvable problem, they could use an Eternal Pill to strike a deal. If 1 was not enough, they could retrieve 2 of them. Nothing in Danzhou could not be solved with 2 Eternal Pills.

Once Ou Yangming refined the Eternal Pills, he stopped going out and went into isolated cultivation.

Needless to say, he was accompanied by plenty of materials for equipment smithing.

With that, Ou Yangming hid inside a secret room and smithed pieces of equipment for a whole month. By the time he came out of isolated cultivation, he was not only greeted by Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque, but also the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, which had been waiting for a long time.

Ou Yangming was surprised to see the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. “Senior, have you succeeded?”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One flushed and laughed. “Master Ou, how could it be done so quickly? It"s simply impossible if I don"t cultivate for a year or so.”

Ou Yangming blinked and asked. “Since that"s the case, why are you here instead of working hard on it?”

The Venerable One"s face turned redder than before. It rubbed its hands and let out a hollow laugh. “I heard that you"re leaving, and I figured that it"ll be tough for us to meet in the future, so I brought my child here to bid you farewell.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He looked past the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and looked at the mountain in the distance.

“Roar…”

A deafening roar was heard coming from that direction. It sounded as loud as Multi-armed King Kong.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Ah, Six-armed Giant Beast.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded and sighed. “King Kong and Giant Beast are my children, so I can"t favor one more than the other.” It bowed at Ou Yangming and uttered, “Please help it succeed, Master Ou.”

Ou Yangming waved his hand and said, “Senior, you"re being too polite. Since I promised to help, I won"t regret it. Besides, I haven"t repaid Six-armed for its kindness in the past.” Following that, he reached out and removed an interspatial bag from his waist. “What you want is here. Go ahead and bring it to Six-armed.”

The Venerable One"s eyes lit up. It accepted the bag carefully as it contained a Thunderbolts-resistant Suit that was suitable for Six-armed, as well as 1,080 Earthly Formation Boards.

It looked deeply at Ou Yangming and noted seriously, “Master Ou, I can"t thank you enough with words. If you need any help in the future, the 10,000 Beasts Ridge won"t refuse to help no matter what it is.” It bowed at the young fellow again then turned and flew away.

Such a gift could not be thanked with words, so it would be up to the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One to return the favor in the future.

Yuqi the Venerable One looked eagerly at Ou Yangming as well.

Of course, Ou Yangming was not going to disappoint him. There would not have been a difference if he smithed a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit or two. Since he was already doing good, he might as well do it till the end.

With that, he tossed an interspatial bag to Yuqi the Venerable One too and stated, “Elder Macaque has experienced them once, so you can just follow its arrangement.”

Yuqi the Venerable One nodded and expressed his grat.i.tude. “Okay, thank you.”

Now that a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and Earthly Formation Boards were in the Beast King Sect"s possession, it almost meant that they would have a new Venerable One soon. This was also a kindness that could not be easily repaid.

Ou Yangming nodded at them and returned to his courtyard.

For the next few days, he stayed by Old Craftsman"s side and enjoyed his time conversing with Ni Yinghong and the 2 other ladies from time to time.

That said, the good days did not last long. When the Heavenly Thunderbolts appeared on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge and in the Beast King Sect one after another, they gained a newly advanced Venerable One each. Ou Yangming finally continued with his plan to go on a long journey.

At the peak of a tall mountain, Old Craftsman looked into the distance as he watched Ou Yangming leave.

He was accompanied by Yuqi the Venerable One, the old macaque, and Mao Jianbi, who was the newly advanced Venerable ONe.

However, even the 3 Venerable Ones were less important than Old Craftsman in the Beast King Sect.

“Uhm, Younger Brother, Master Ou"s still young, so he needs to go on adventures. Don"t worry about him,” the old macaque comforted the old man.

Old Craftsman nodded and looked away. “Big Brother Macaque, you"re right. Children can take care of themselves. I"ll also cultivate hard and strive to become a Venerable One so that he won"t need to worry about me anymore.”

Yuqi the Venerable One and the others looked at each other and thought, "You… Venerable One?"

They looked at the same time in the direction where Ou Yangming left.

"With him as your support, it might be, it"s probably, it"s likely… Possible!"
