Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 184 A Magic Tool Is Born

Distinctive.

Ou Yangming, who was closing his eyes meditatively, was suddenly moved.

Thoughtless words could be taken seriously. He actually knew the Ni family’s blacksmith elder was clueless about the way to smith a magic tool; the elder had only blurted nonsense due to the Supreme Great Ancestor’s pressing question.

However, the nonsense somehow gave Ou Yangming a vague idea.

As said by Elder Universe, under normal circumstances, the tolerable limit for their world was an ordinary tool at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five.

Ou Yangming had an extremely deep understanding of that.

Whether it was when he smithed pieces of equipment in the Chaos Cave because of the attacks from the countless Black Magic Crawlers or when he attempted to smith a magic tool earlier as he was well-prepared, the products smithed by Ou Yangming were only at the peak of Fine Grade Rank Five.

If he had to point out a difference between the two processes, he had utilized the purple Military Fire’s power for the former while he relied on his own power for the latter.

Either way, Ou Yangming had been employing the traditional smithing technique.

He had even unleashed the traditional method’s power to the extreme, but there were no signs of the pieces of equipment advancing to the next level.

Ou Yangming was moved as he suddenly thought about the wonderful scene that he previously saw in front of Elder Universe.

‘It’s a mountain, it’s water!’

When Ou Yangming performed the integration of Heaven and man and the thoroughly meticulous state, his observation of the surroundings was already optimum. In other words, he had become one with the environment around him through the two powers.

‘This is probably the real reflection of ‘it’s a mountain, it’s water’, right?

Then the state above this must be ‘it’s not a mountain, it’s not water’.’

Ou Yangming’s vision became blurry as he seemed to have returned to the magical scene once more. He could still see everything including Ni Yunhong, his younger sister, the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, and even the blacksmith elder, who was drenched in sweat from the questions.’

Nonetheless, those people became slightly different in his eyes.

They still existed, but it was as if they were not them anymore.

In addition, even objects and everything else in the world had changed the same way.

Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered, but the deepest part of his eyes contained an unusual luster.

“Ah, there’s no need to ask... Perhaps it’s not a good thing for us to be here, so it’s best we leave!” Ni Xuetian suddenly expressed.

Old Craftsman dared not say a word, but he secretly nodded to himself.

‘Yes, you’re all top-notch powerhouses. If you’re present, that b*stard would be fearful of you, so how can he still have the energy to smith any equipment?’

Old Craftsman regarded the Supreme Great Ancestors as mighty and unsurpassable powerhouses. One of them was already enough to affect his mental state, let alone three of them together.

As he put himself in Ou Yangming’s shoes, he figured that the young fellow feared the three great ancestors as he did.

The old man felt that Ou Yangming was amazing to have smithed a saber of Fine Grade Rank Five while being pressured by the great ancestors. Ni Jingshen sighed and gave up the thought to question Ou Yangming. He stood up and said, “We’ll be leaving first, but remember to inform us if anything happens.” “Yes, don’t worry,” the blacksmith elder sighed and responded respectfully. “Xuefu, you mustn’t decline Lil’ Friend Ou’s requests if he has any, and you mustn’t act slowly, or I won’t forgive you easily,” Ni Jingtong reminded him after a moment of hesitation.

“Great Ancestor, I dare not decline him,” Ni Xuefu immediately replied.

With that, Ni Jingtong and the other great ancestors left the courtyard together.

Apart from Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong, everyone else sighed a breath of relief once the great ancestors left. After all, not everyone could ignore the enormous pressure of being in the same place with three Supreme Great Ancestors.

Old Craftsman giggled. “Young fella, the three elders have left, so you may relax and carry on boldly.”

Even though Ou Yangming might not necessarily be able to relax and carry on boldly, it was much better than being afraid.

That said, Ou Yangming was still staring ahead while looking in a daze as if he did not hear the old man and was not concerned at all.

Old Craftsman was stunned.

Ni Yinghong was dumbfounded.

The other people were stupefied too, and they looked at Ou Yangming eagerly.

After Ou Yangming smithed the military saber, the professionals became aware of his skill level.

Not to mention Ni Yunhong, even his clan’s blacksmith elders, who taught him smithing skills, looked up to Ou Yangming’s ability very much.

Moreover, they developed a common understanding If one of the people who were present could smith a magic tool, that person would undoubtedly be Ou Yangming.

They watched as Ou Yangming became immersed in an exceptionally mysterious state.

For some reason, everyone became hopeful.

‘Does he really stand a chance...’

The other people exchanged glances and held their breaths as they dared not disturb Ou Yangming.

Fortunately, Ou Yangming did not ponder for a long time. He slowly stood up and turned around, but he ignored the other people like they did not exist to him at all.

Following that, he reached out for the military saber, which he had smithed earlier.

Ni Xuefu and the other Ni family’s blacksmith elders furrowed their eyebrows. They wanted to suggest to Ou Yangming to smith with a new peculiar stone, but they swallowed their words before they could utter them.

This was because they instantly remembered that the person in front of them was not a junior from their clan, but a madman, who was superior to them and wanted to smith a magic tool.

‘If we give him a pointer... Won’t we be laughed at?’

Ni Yunhong frowned. He could not take it anymore, so he went to pick a rare stone and was going to approach Ou Yangming.

Despite that, as soon as he wanted to take another step forward, a figure blocked his path.

Ni Yunhong was surprised, but he saw Ni Xuefu shaking his head at him.

He hesitated for a while, but he instantly understood when he looked at the other people. The young master blushed a little and nodded at them, then he stood still without making another move. “Woosh...”

During that moment, Ou Yangming released his Military Fire again.

The young fellow stared at the military saber without looking away at all.

Everyone else paid attention to the saber too because the weapon, which was burning in the Military Fire, had become the center of attention.

Nonetheless, nobody knew that everything Ou Yangming saw had undergone a 180-degree change.

Inside the Military Fire, the item that was being burned by the flame was a military saber but was also not a military saber.

It was not a mountain, it was not water.

Ou Yangming did not see the military saber when he looked at it.

He was looking at the saber’s nature.

The military saber, which was formed by the peculiar stone, seemed to be peeled off layer by layer in front of him, allowing him to have a clearer picture of the power contained in every corner of the stone.

Eventually, Ou Yangming clearly noticed a layer of power covering the military saber. It was a limiting power, which could only be seen under this unusual situation.

A mysterious restraint in the void confined the bizarre stone’s power, and it contained such an enormous power that the queer stone could not offset it at all. Nevertheless, the restraint was extremely obvious to Ou Yangming.

Round after round, the power system was displayed to him.

Ou Yangming’s conception shook a little, then his Military Fire began burning around the military saber as though it received an order. It was worth noting that the restriction’s power was extensive, so much so that it was equivalent to the world’s power.

If Ou Yangming chose to resist the power directly, he would unquestionably lose.

However, he did not resist it. Instead, he compacted his Military Fire into a small point, and he pricked the layer of restriction.

A faint and seemingly non-existent sound was heard.

Subsequently, Ou Yangming felt it.

The military saber in his hands, which could not be improved further no matter how hard he smithed earlier, was finally being set free.

Once a small hole was poked on the layer of restraint, the military saber seemed to have burst too.

The potential, which was hidden in the saber but could not be released prior to this, gushed out violently as if it found an outlet.

Like a starving ferocious tiger that finally left the mountain, and like a flood that was previously blocked, the saber’s potential charged through the obstacle and spread to every corner of the military saber.

Ou Yangming finally understood what it meant by a small ant hole could destroy a 500-kilometer-long dam.

The needle-sized hole seemed like it would be fixed by the outside world’s restriction at any time, but the instant the hole was made, the military saber’s power gushed out violently and stretched the hole such that the barrier broke.

Ou Yangming’s Military Fire was still burning. It was like a guide that led the enormous power to flow throughout the military saber.

The potential contained in the strange stone was slowly released, and the deepest layer of energy, which had been attached to the saber, finally saw light again.

Ou Yangming was so elated that the feeling he had at that moment was indescribable.

If he was only an onlooker when he upgraded his waist sash in the past, he was a real partaker as the military saber broke through.

The huge difference between being an onlooker and a partaker was reflected in his feelings during both incidents.

As Ou Yangming’s Military Fire burned, the attributes of the new military saber instantly appeared in his mind.
