Immortal Path to Heaven

The energy inside Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill grew stronger and slowly became solid and condensed.

Ou Yangming entered with his mental conception. He could sense that after absorbing the power of the Plant Poisonous Pill in front of him, Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill finally reached the standard to advance, and it underwent an undefiable change.

The energy that clung to his mental power agglomerated and formed a small origin at the center.

If one sensed the origin"s outward appearance, it would seem like a large yet tiny coc.o.o.n with a conflicting style.

Nonetheless, the coc.o.o.n carried enormous energies that left even Ou Yangming in awe.

Needless to say, it would only be unbelievable if it did not contain energies of such intensity. After all, Ou Yangming had not only provided it with nearly 20 Plant Poisonous Pills, but he had also let it absorb poisonous gas for a long time. If the poisonous pill still would not change, it would be considered an appalling object.

“Pow…”

A clear mysterious sound, which could only be sensed by Ou Yangming, burst out from inside Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill.

It was not loud—it could not be heard by ordinary people at all. However, Ou Yangming could hear it well because his mental conception was inside the pill.

Following that, a small spot, which condensed endless energies at the center, unfolded in front of him.

The small spot kept elongating, then numerous thin lines appeared on its long body. Eventually, the thin lines extended and formed long legs.

Ou Yangming was shocked. He actually witnessed Ghost Mo"s rebirth.

Yes, this was Ghost Mo"s figure. In fact, the aura that it released was incredibly similar to that of Ghost Mo.

The young fellow inhaled deeply and forcibly suppressed his shock. Although he sensed Ghost Mo"s aura, what made him feel at ease was its energy body still gave off an extremely affectionate aura to his mental conception.

Afterward, the centipede-like energy body fluttered and landed beside Ou Yangming"s mental conception. It openly showed its reliance and intimacy toward the power.

It behaved like how a child would act around a loved one, and it made Ou Yangming miss the old times. Back then, did he not feel the same way for Old Craftsman?

Ou Yangming slowly withdrew his mental conception. When he opened his eyes, a complicated look could be seen.

He was filled with killing intent when he first saw the poisonous pill"s energy evolving into Ghost Mo"s appearance. That fellow was worthy of being a top-notch top-grade spirit beast for having such a magnificent trick to recover itself. In any case, whether or not the centipede was Ghost Mo"s doing, the young fellow could not allow future troubles.

Despite that, after the centipede energy body displayed its attachment toward his mental power, Ou Yangming realized that he could not make the move.

He smiled bitterly and wondered, "When did I become so kind and soft-hearted?"

Ou Yangming shook his head and slowly looked determined.

Nevertheless, before he could start to act, a faint light was slowly released from Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill, and it finally formed a small centipede in the void. It turned out that the energy body could break free from the poisonous pill and show itself in the void.

Ou Yangming gasped. He might have only been startled earlier, but he was truly appalled at this moment.

Big Yellow"s fur stood on their ends all of a sudden. It opened its eyes and released a forceful aura.

The small centipede sensed Big Yellow"s enmity, so it turned halfway around and stared at it with a strange look. At this point, the big yellow dog sensed an intense chill rising from the bottom of its heart.

Ou Yangming"s face changed as he immediately sensed the change in the void. It reached a point where even the shield that protected them seemed to have become unstable.

“Stop,” Ou Yangming yelled promptly.

The small centipede instantly turned around and shouted cheerfully, then it threw itself into Ou Yangming"s shoulder. It kept twisting its body over there, where every cell on its body seemed to be excited.

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he finally sighed.

After sensing that the little thing fully trusted him, as cold-blooded as he was, he could not bring himself to kill it.

The fellow relied on Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill to be born, but it was totally unconnected with Ghost Mo. Moreover, Ou Yangming also sensed that the little thing"s core had a hint of his aura indeed. It seemed like he had left behind his aura inside the poisonous pill when he refined Ghost Mo"s inner core.

In a way, the little fellow"s energy body already had an inseparable connection with him.

Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “This is Big Yellow. It"s my good friend, so you mustn"t be impolite.”

The little centipede tilted its head as though it was confused about what impolite meant. Even so, it responded very quickly, by which it stopped being hostile toward Big Yellow, which was baring its teeth.

“Let"s go.” Ou Yangming waved his hand and no longer showed a weird expression on his face as if everything was under his control.

After habitually walking for a brief moment, they encountered another hidden poisonous pill. This time, Ou Yangming did not need to make a move at all as the little centipede simply flew up and jumped on the Plant Poisonous Pill.

The Plant Poisonous Pill disappeared almost in the blink of an eye, whereas the little centipede"s body expanded several times.

Ou Yangming was slightly moved, and he asked, “You can sense this thing?”

The little centipede nodded repeatedly and made a soft sound. Big Yellow was puzzled, but Ou Yangming somehow understood it.

He noted after some thought, “Escort us out of the forest, then stay here and play for some time before you gather with us.”

The little centipede kept turning its body as though it was happy about the decision.

With that, Ou Yangming returned with Big Yellow by the way they came, and they finally left the poisonous forest.

As Ou Yangming waved his hand, the shield around them vanished. As for the little centipede"s energy body, it wriggled and flew in the opposite direction.

Seeing as the dangerous little thing was gone, Big Yellow could not help but ask, “Lil" Ming, what"s that thing? Is it safe?”

Ou Yangming responded with a bitter smile, “Nothing is safe for cultivators like us.”

If cultivators wanted to improve their strengths, they could not only cultivate in isolation. Even for disciples from influential sects, they would only see daylight after having dangerous experiences. If one wanted to cultivate safely, one would not be a true cultivator.

The young fellow held Ghost Mo"s poisonous pill in his hand and sensed its content for some time, then he added, “Don"t worry, it won"t be able to escape as long as this is with me.”

Big Yellow blinked and nodded slowly. “Okay, you"re the boss.”

Ou Yangming grinned and kept the poisonous pill, then he said, “Big Yellow, it"s your showtime now.”

The big yellow dog"s eyes lit up. It twitched its nose hard for a while, then it uttered in a pleasantly surprised tone, “Come with me.”

It turned into a yellow figure and dashed in the opposite direction of the poisonous forest.

The forest that surrounded a lake was exceptionally odd. Half of it was the Plant Poisonous Pills" territory, where no other creatures could be seen apart from tall trees that grew poisonous pills. It was worth noting that even the little insects underground, as well as ordinary shrubs and flowers, were nowhere to be seen.

On the contrary, the other side of the lake was a marvelous place full of endless lives.

The 2 were separated by an invisible line, and they were quite distinct from each other, which was very unbelievable.

Big Yellow ran on the other side of the line at the moment and unleashed its ability without restraint.

They stopped in front of a big tree after a while, but they fixed their gaze on a fresh flower at the side of it.

The fresh flower grew on the big tree, but it did not bloom from the tree. Even Ou Yangming, who did not know much about plants, could tell that the flower existed to constantly steal the tree"s nourishment.

Half of the poor tree had shriveled, but the fresh flower on its dried branch was delicate and beautiful.

As soon as Ou Yangming and Big Yellow stopped, a tiny black figure suddenly appeared on the branch.

It was a thin bizarre creature, and it displayed a strong fighting spirit. It bared its teeth at the young fellow and the big yellow dog, then it made frightening sounds.

Ou Yangming was struck dumb, and he could not help but steal a few more glances at the creature. This was because he never noticed its aura before it appeared.

“Hey, what are you?” Big Yellow, which was next to Ou Yangming, asked.

The little thing"s aura was formidable, which was not poorer than that of an ordinary spirit beast at all. That said, it disregarded Big Yellow"s voice. Instead, it continued to growl softly as if it was warning them that this was its territory, which could not be invaded by outsiders.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow exchanged glances and thought, "This is a spirit beast that can"t communicate in any language."

Perhaps it had been living inside this secret realm for too long and lost connection with the outside realm, so there was such a difference.

The young fellow sighed. Since they could not communicate and he needed the spiritual herb, it seemed like a fight would be inevitable.

After taking a slight step forward, the queer spirit beast lunged at them at once.

It was tremendously fast, such that it exceeded Ou Yangming"s imagination. It extended its sharp, long claws at his face.

Ou Yangming flashed backward, whereas Big Yellow pounced on the creature. Consequently, the 2 potent spirit beasts crashed hard into each other like bulldozers.

“Boom…”

Big Yellow made a turn in mid-air then landed steadily on the group, but the weird spirit beast was sent flying away.

In terms of weight only, the spirit beast was far from the big yellow dog indeed.

Nonetheless, the little thing made a turn in mid-air to forcibly change its direction, then it pounced on Big Yellow once more.
