Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 485: The Appearance Of A Dragon And A Phoenix

“Master Ou, I know you want to go beyond this world and enter the upper realm. Perhaps the Wu family is using this condition to attract you but there isn’t only one way to achieve that,” Ni Jingshen noted seriously.

Ou Yangming was moved. “Elder Ni, you contacted...?” He pointed above his head.

Ni Jingshen smiled and answered, “Lil’ Friend Ou, ever since you found our clan’s secret realm, we’ve been calling out to our members of the same clan in the upper realm.”

Judging from the smile on Ni Jingshen’s face, Ou Yangming instantly understood that not only had Ni Jingshen contacted someone from the upper realm, but he had also obtained huge benefits or were given certain promises. Nonetheless, the young fellow was not very keen about everything.

The Ni family had mercy on him, but they must be joking if they thought they could say a few things to make him turn against the imperial family.

Ou Yangming responded after some thought, “Elder Ni, this is a serious matter, and I’ve just only heard about it, so I’m quite clueless. If it’s possible, please let me consider it first.”

Ni Jingshen laughed out loud. “Of course, Lil’ Friend Ou, take your time. If you have any questions, you can summon me at any time.”

The young fellow was rather speechless because the elder was half being humble, half mocking himself. He dared not do that even if it was for Elder Sister Ying’s sake.

After finally sending away the elders, who still wished to continue the discussion, Ou Yangming frowned and sighed.

He gained a new understanding of the Humans’ situation through the discussion. Under normal circumstances, the imperial family’s prestige had long been imprinted in everyone’s heart, and they also had a powerhouse that surpassed Extreme Grade. Therefore, the Wu family’s position was stable and unshakable.

Nevertheless, the situation was different now because spirit beasts descended, and the world was in chaos.

Needless to say, according to Ni Jingshen, the upper realm paid more attention to their world this time due to the interspatial disorder.

The Wu family had a backing in the upper realm indeed, but the other families in the eight counties were not to be trifled with. The former had only controlled this world by coincidence, and it did not mean that their force was second to none in the upper realm.

“Hey, what were you talking about?” The little bird flapped its wings and flew out from the birdcage, then it hovered above Ou Yangming and finally landed on his shoulder. It initially wanted to stand on the young fellow’s head, but it dropped the idea after some careful thoughts.

Ou Yangming subconsciously reached out to gently brush the little bird’s body and answered, “It’s about a fight for power and gain. There’s nothing much to say.”

The little bird shivered as though it was protesting Ou Yangming’s act. “What’s a fight for power and gain?”

“Doesn’t it happen among your race?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“No,” the little bird answered as it tilted its head and pondered.

It was not old but in terms of knowledge, it was far beyond Ou Yangming. This was because the bird was born with memories from its bloodline inheritance, so its starting point was much further than ordinary people.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and asked, “Lil’ Red, how many members are there in the Phoenixes?”

The little bird shook its head and said, “I have no idea, but there are at most 2 to 3 of us in every realm.”

“2 to 3 of you in every realm?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He twitched his mouth before he remarked, “Okay, you don’t need to fight for power and gain at all.”

The Humans’ individual cultivation base was far from the Phoenixes’, but many hands provided great strength. As the population increased, cultivation resources would never be enough. At this point, the people would fight for power and gain, and the resources would end up being gathered by the victor.

It was a bloody law of the jungle. Apart from the Humans, other races that won by quantity would not be able to avoid this too.

On the other hand, the Phoenixes’ greatness was built from individuals. Given that there were only 2 to 3 of them in a realm... The so-called fight for power and gain was only a joke to them. In a way, they could not understand why something like that would happen among the Humans.

“If you think they’re being too troublesome, how about I burn them with my fire?” The little bird suggested all of a sudden.

Ou Yangming was shocked, and he quickly warned the bird, “No, you can’t. They’re good friends of mine, so you mustn’t attack them.”

The little fellow was clueless about the ways of the world, but it possessed forceful power that could overturn situations. If it was allowed to act as it wished, it could immediately wreak havoc among the Humans. If that happened, it would be too late for Ou Yangming to regret it.

With that, the little bird flapped its wings and flew back into the cage from Ou Yangming’s shoulder. It lay on the warm bedding and uttered, “How boring... Why did you say you’re going to Canghai County?”

“The Aquatics are attacking Canghai County, so I’d like to go there to settle it for them,” Ou Yangming answered seriously.

The little bird seemed unconcerned, but it rolled its eyes after a brief moment and questioned, “The Aquatics? Do you mean the Dragons?”

‘If the Dragons are there, I guarantee that I’ll be the first to run away!’ Ou Yangming laughed as he thought, but he kept a straight face. “I don’t know, but I heard they’re powerhouses from the Aquatics.”

“Alright, I’ll head there with you since I have nothing to do lately. That said, you must let me eat the Dragons if you manage to capture them!” The little bird blinked.

Ou Yangming was startled. “Eat?”

He had an unusually funny expression on his face. Although he could tell that the little bird was displeased with the Dragons, he did not expect the bird to give such a strong reaction. Eating the Dragons... Even the young fellow, who possessed the Devouring ability, dared not be so unrestrained.

Perhaps the Dragons and the Phoenixes were natural enemies, but Ou Yangming did not want to get involved. Given that he was just a small person, he would only end up as cannon fodder.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and replied to the little bird, “Okay, we’ll wait a few more days and go to take a look once King Kong arrived. If there really are... Dragons, I’ll leave them to you.”

“Great.” The little bird’s eyes gleamed. It later suggested, “Come and watch the Dragon-slaying Art with me!”

“What’s that?” Ou Yangming was struck dumb.

Following that, a red light was released from the little bird’s body. It filled the room at once and enveloped Big Yellow too.

Ou Yangming’s vision went blurry before he saw the view in front of him, and he could not help but laugh.

The little bird was impatient. It released its spiritual world and let him and Big Yellow enter at the same time.

Big Yellow was next to Ou Yangming at the moment, but it looked at its surroundings uneasily.

“Woosh...”

A loud wind was heard coming from the sky, then the big multicolored big landed beside them as if a deity had descended.

Big Yellow was appalled, so it ran toward Ou Yangming and tucked its tail while it hid behind him. Despite that, the big yellow dog was much larger than him, thus it looked like an ostrich burying its head into the sand. Other than looking funny, it was a useless move.

The big multicolored big glanced at the timid big yellow dog in despise and displayed its supremacy.

“Lil’ Red, Big Yellow isn’t usually like that. Perhaps... Your momentum is too formidable?” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

“What does its performance have anything to do with me?” The little bird was indifferent.

Ou Yangming turned to look at Big Yellow, which was staring at him and sticking out its tongue flatteringly. He glared at it and commented softly, “You bully the weak but fear the strong!”

Big Yellow’s ears drooped as though it was wronged. ‘When did I bully the weak but fear the strong? I only don’t want to court my death...’

The big multicolored bird looked at Ou Yangming’s shoulder as if it wanted to find a landing spot. However, its build in the spiritual world could not be compared to when it was in the outside world, hence it humphed and stated, “Watch closely, this is the Dragon-slaying Art.”

As its voice slowly died away, the sky dimmed.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow tensed up, and they looked up at the sky.

Eventually, two gigantic figures appeared in the sky. At the same time, two valiant momentums crushed down like lofty mountains.

Big Yellow shuddered and spread its limbs to lie prone on the ground.

Ou Yangming’s face changed. He scoffed and planted his feet firmly on the ground, but he quivered a bit as well.

He turned to question fiercely, “What are you doing?”

The big multicolored bird twitched its wings and inched closer to Ou Yangming too. “This is the Dragon-slaying Battle in my bloodline inheritance. It’s my first time watching it too...”

It could stand firmly, but its voice trembled a bit too. Evidently, it was also taken aback.

“Boom...”

At last, the two massive figures appeared completely. One of them was akin to a giant python, but it had horns on its head and claws below its abdomen. Additionally, the length of its coiled body was unknown.

The other figure was a big multicolored big. Its wings covered Heaven and Earth when it spread them open, and its claws were so sharp that even the air was pierced.

A dragon and a phoenix.

No explanation was needed; Ou Yangming guessed the names of the fearsome creatures right away.

The two creatures were having a standoff, and they slowly released even more frightening momentums.

Ou Yangming’s legs were shaking. He tried his best to resist it, but he still felt like his body was being crushed by a humongous mountain, causing him to feel like he was going out of breath.

As for the big yellow dog, it was already sticking out its tongue with a dazed look in its eyes, and it looked half-dead. If the pressure was any greater than this, the dog would probably pass out too.

Just as Ou Yangming could not take it anymore and was going to faint as Big Yellow did, an explosion was heard in the sky. Subsequently, his view turned black, and his mental conception retreated from the wonderful world like a tide.

Ou Yangming shook his head and curbed his thought. The little red bird had somehow laid on his shoulder without moving at all as though it lost consciousness.

Big Yellow was stunned for a while, then it suddenly turned and dashed out as fast as a ghost. Its speed and sharpness were simply unmatched.

“Boom...”

Ou Yangming was helpless when he saw the door being crushed by Big Yellow.

‘None of these fellas give me peace of mind!’
