Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 487: Long Feather Band

Ou Yangming returned to his room with plenty of flesh and blood of insect powerhouses. He retrieved them without any hesitation and converted them into energies, which were then channeled into the little bird’s body through the Military Fire.

The energies contained in the flesh and blood were much greater than before. Although the amount was the same, the flames of the Military Fire channeled to the little bird were entirely different. Once Ou Yangming fully absorbed the spirit centipede’s flesh and blood, the little bird began to shiver.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, but he did not curb his Military Fire. He continued to let it burn.

Sure enough, the little bird finally opened its eyes after a brief moment. It moved its quick-witted eyes around and instantly understood what happened.

It nodded at Ou Yangming and shook its body all of a sudden, then the room was filled with a red color.

Nonetheless, the red light did not light up anything. The little bird quivered intensely in the red light as though it was breaking free from invisible shackles.

Ou Yangming slowly curbed his Military Fire because he realized that the little bird no longer needed to be replenished by the fire’s energies. Besides, judging from the situation the little bird was in, he figured that it was best not to disturb it.

Next, an extremely fearsome aura was released from the little bird’s body, and it spread out in all directions.

Big Yellow immediately lay down at the door, and it was consciously in admiration.

On the other side, the goshawk trembled and could not help but curl up its claws. It sensed the terrifying aura and was aware of its source, hence it dared not violate it at all.

The Supreme Great Ancestors in the city were busy dealing with their respective matters when their faces changed suddenly, and their bodies tensed up. It was as if they were facing powerful enemies at that moment, and they did not have the guts to move even an inch.

Nevertheless, the aura released by the little bird could not be sensed by ordinary people. If one’s cultivation base was at Extreme Grade, one could sense the power’s existence.

This was a power that they dared not imagine at all, and none of the Supreme Great Ancestors could resist the power.

Ou Yangming groaned and took a few steps back.

The little bird was initially on his palm, but it was now floating in mid-air as though a hidden power was carrying it up.

Despite that, Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows slightly. The other people might not know, but he could sense through his Military Fire that something was off. The little bird seemed to be wanting to break through something, but its accumulation was clearly insufficient, thus it was stuck at a checkpoint and could not get past it no matter what.

Even though Ou Yangming was worried for the little bird, he did not recklessly go forward to help it because even he did not know if he should meddle in the situation.

The little bird’s aura disappeared after a brief moment, and it happened so fast that it was simply unimaginable. It was as if the enormous pressure vanished in the blink of an eye, causing the other people to think that the feeling of fear earlier was merely an illusion.

“Woosh.” The little bird’s body fell from the air. Ou Yangming quickly leaped forward to catch it steadily before it landed on the ground.

The tiny and warm body stayed on Ou Yangming’s palm for a while before the little bird flapped its wings and flew around him, then it landed on his shoulder. This time, the little bird did not hesitate and all, and it seemed like it was already accustomed to this.

“Lil’ Red, how are you feeling?” Ou Yangming asked as he was concerned.

“I received support from a power earlier, and I wanted to advance to a higher level through its help, but I failed.” The little bird sounded rather regretful. It looked up and said, “Hmph, just you wait, I’ll definitely succeed in the future!”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. The power was naturally the Military Fire provided by him.

Having said that, while the power was strong, it could not help Lil’ Red to upgrade to another level.

He was undecided at first, but he decided to ask, “Lil’ Red, the fight between the dragon and the phoenix...”

“The Dragons are too mighty; I’m no match for them.” The little bird lowered its head and looked quite dejected.

Ou Yangming laughed. “You’re not fully grown yet, so of course, you’re not their match. Once you grow bigger in the future, you’ll surely defeat them.”

The little bird’s eyes were filled with a cheerful look, and it nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes.”

A clamor was heard outside at the spur of the moment. Ou Yangming turned to look in shock, then he left.

‘How dare people clamor in front of my courtyard? This doesn’t seem right.’

That said, Ou Yangming realized what was happening when he left his courtyard and noticed the lizard’s carcass outside. Deng Xiyuan had sent the dead body to the Ni residence and attracted a lot of attention along the way. Moreover, many people knew the lizard was the culprit behind the Insects’ attack, so they cursed at the insect and followed it here. Though the local authority tried to hold them back, they could not stop the swarming crowd.

Ou Yangming frowned. The lizard’s carcass was incredibly precious, hence he did not want to waste it.

He looked up and sent a message through his conception.

The goshawk, which had been pretending to sleep for a long time on the ground, gathered its energy and got up at once. Its massive body drew everyone’s attention.

Following that, it grabbed the lizard’s body with its large claws and hurled it into Ou Yangming’s courtyard. The big yellow dog shifted sideways and jumped away with a look of despise.

The goshawk’s savage move frightened everyone. As such, nobody dared to say a word anymore in front of the terrifying spirit beast.

After carrying out Ou Yangming’s order, the order sat on the ground and stared fiercely at the people while it released its horrifying aura. The aura was completely different from the little bird’s so much so that even ordinary people could sense how daunting it was.

“Leave! Leave! Quickly leave! Are you trying to court your deaths by gathering here?” The Ni family’s servants shouted and waved their hands to shoo the crowd.

The people, who were reluctant to leave just now, became startled rabbits as they left in a hurry. Before long, the street was back to normal.

Ou Yangming shook his head and sighed. ‘The strong is the only one in this world.’

He entered his courtyard and asked, “Lil’ Red, do you need this fella?”

The little bird looked at the carcass and responded, “An utterly dead middle-grade spirit beast. It’s not tasty, so no, I don’t want it!”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned because the little fellow was picky and did not regard middle-grade spirit beasts as much. However, he looked up and saw how joyful the goshawk was. It was evident that the lizard that was despised by the little bird was delicious food for the goshawk.

Even so, Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “Goshawk, you can’t touch this; I’m going to keep it for backup.”

After witnessing the little bird pass out, Ou Yangming knew better the importance of having backup flesh and blood. He could not be satisfied by ordinary flesh and blood anymore, so rare ones from a spirit beast were unquestionably the best option.

The goshawk was disappointed, but it dared not object to the young fellow at all, thus it could only swallow its saliva.

Ou Yangming looked at the lizard’s gigantic carcass and smiled bitterly. “I can’t store such a humongous fella.”

He had many interspatial bags, but the carcass was really too big, so he could not keep it even if he chopped it into pieces.

The little red bird shrieked out of the blue and opened its mouth to spit red fire, where a long multicolored feather could be seen amidst the dancing flames. Ou Yangming recognized it as soon as it took a glance. ‘Isn’t that its long feather when it transforms into a big bird?’

Subsequently, the long feather flashed inside the fire and slowly curled up, then it finally turned into a round band and landed on Ou Yangming’s hand.

Ou Yangming turned it over gently and exclaimed to himself, ‘A bird’s feather is close to weightless, but this Long Feather Band is different. If I hadn’t seen it myself, I would’ve thought that it’s made of metal and stone.’

“Try it.” The little bird urged him.

The young fellow was struck dumb, but he put on the band and tried to channel his essential Qi into it.

Nonetheless, he found it strange because his essential Qi lingered outside and could not enter the band no matter what.

“What power are you using?” The little bird was displeased.

Ou Yangming was moved. The Military Fire in his sea of consciousness emerged, and the band glowed right away. He was shocked when he channeled his mental conception into it.

As expected, the band was a piece of interspatial equipment. Nevertheless, the space inside was so vast that it exceeded his imagination.

If he must describe the Long Feather Band’s space, he could say that it could accommodate Multi-armed King Kong. Of course, it could fit the lizard’s small carcass.

“Lil’ Red, how did you refine it?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

The little bird hopped on his shoulder and was irritated. “Isn’t it recorded as one of the Phoenixes’ secret techniques? Go and take a look at it yourself.”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. His head ached when he thought about the deceptive secret techniques, but he still nodded at the little bird. The young fellow was determined to calm himself down to study the Phoenixes’ rare secret techniques.

He lifted his right to store the lizard’s carcass in the band.

The band was exceptionally rare. Not only did it have a tremendous space, but it was also supported by the Phoenixes’ power, so it could not be opened by ordinary people.

With the support of abundant flesh and blood from insect powerhouses, Ou Yangming spent his following days cultivating while he waited for Multi-armed King Kong.

He suffered splitting headaches whenever he explored the Phoenixes’ secret techniques but as he looked into them a few more times, his body slowly adapted to them and endured the processes.

Earth-shattering sounds were heard outside the city after half a month. Numerous soldiers atop the walls began to shout as Multi-armed King Kong dashed toward the city from afar.
