Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 522: An Aerolite With The Same Origin

The ship’s speed was increased to the maximum, and it braved the wind and storm for 3 days and 3 nights before the captain finally ordered for the anchor to be dropped.

This was because the sailor that navigated found the area where the peculiar stone was found.

Ou Yangming went to the ship’s bow when he received the news, and he retrieved the stone to hold it in his hands. After looking at the little red bird, they released their mental powers at the same time. Ever since they previously cooperated for 3 days without stopping, their mental powers seemed to have merged.

If their chemistry could be scored, they would certainly receive 10 points in that aspect.

Once their incredibly intimate mental powers merged, the effect was not as simple as 1-2-3, but it was more apparent that their powers were pushed to a height like never before.

Their enormous mental powers gushed into the stone at once, causing an intense heatwave to be released. Consequently, the people on the ship felt like they were being burned.

Feng Yiyuan and the others were appalled. They knew there must be a reason Ou Yangming valued the peculiar stone, but they did not expect the stone to release such fearsome power. At this point, they even suspected that the ship would be lighted up if the heatwave continued.

Nonetheless, the heatwave did not last for long; it disappeared after several breaths.

The sailors on the ship were relieved because they were afraid that Ou Yangming would really burn their ship.

Given the young fellow’s identity, not to mention burning the ship, even if he killed everyone on it, nobody would complain about the alleged injustice.

“Senior Feng, General Nian, thanks for escorting me here,” Ou Yangming said as he turned around. He added after a pause, “I’ve found the place, so I’ll be leaving the ship. You may go back first.”

Feng Yiyuan immediately expressed, “Master Ou, we can wait for you here.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “That’s not necessary. I’ll return once I find what I’m looking for, so please go back first.”

Seeing as the great ancestor and the general were reluctant to leave, Ou Yangming pulled a long face and asked, “Are you being so persistent because you want to covet what I’m trying to find?”

Feng Yiyuan and Nian Xinran gasped, and they repeatedly told the young fellow that they dared not do that. In actuality, they were both curious about the bizarre stone. Even though they did not have the guts to poke their nose in the matter, they wanted to gain some knowledge. Nevertheless, after hearing what Ou Yangming said, as bold as they were, they would not stay anymore.

Before long, the ship turned around and sailed in the opposite direction. Along their way back, they were not harassed by sea beasts anymore.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming began running on the water after watching them leave.

He released his mental power to form an odd air wall around him, then his body slowly sank.

The underwater world was gorgeous, but Ou Yangming did not have the time to admire them at all. He simply swam in the direction he sensed earlier.

Protected by the air wall, Ou Yangming would not be in danger at all, but he soon realized that the wall seemed to have become an ornamental object in the sea as many small fishes swam toward him and attempted to break the wall.

Ou Yangming was annoyed but amused at the same time when he looked at the fishes, which did not know their place. He was decisive in killings, but he could not bring himself to attack the fishes.

This was because there were plenty of them, and they came in batches, hence there would be no end to it.

Moreover, the little fishes were rather adorable. Unless they could threaten Ou Yangming, he would not bear to harm them.

Despite that, while there were only small fishes at first, sea beasts slowly approached him too. The beasts were not large and did not have intense auras, but they were much more troublesome than the little fishes. As they approached the young fellow, the small fishes fled in the blink of an eye.

Next, a ferocious fish charged toward Ou Yangming, but it was rebounded by an invisible yet forceful power when it hit the air wall, causing it to become dizzy.

The other vicious beasts were startled for some time, then they acted one after another as if they would only be satisfied if the air wall was ruined.

Upon seeing this, the little red bird blinked and opened its mouth impatiently as it wanted to spit a fireball. Who knew, Ou Yangming waved his hand and said, “Gather your energy; the place we’re about to explore might have a trial.”

Needless to say, the trial might be a life crisis for other living beings.

The little red bird tilted its head and pondered for some time before it closed its eyes to preserve its energy and recuperate. The information they were finding was left behind by a senior from the Phoenixes’, thus it would not be too much to be prudent.

After some thought, Ou Yangming gently shook his wrist, causing some seawater to flow out from the space inside the Long Feather Band. The water was ordinary as it was retrieved from the shoal, so its nature was similar to the one the young fellow was in at the moment. Having said that, the seawater released contained the lazy turtle’s aura, which was naturally released after the turtle slept for a long time. The aura was useless for Ou Yangming, but it was instantly effective when he used it here.

As soon as the seawater flowed out and into the water around Ou Yangming, the fierce beasts that surrounded the air wall seemed to have been petrified. Not to mention continuing their attacks, they dared not escape at all.

Ou Yangming laughed and continued to advance with his air wall. Only after he went about 35 meters away, the beasts awoke. Instead of pursuing the young fellow, they turned around and fled in the opposite direction. They were going as far away as they could, so much so that they abandoned their territory.

Escorted by the lazy turtle’s aura, Ou Yangming did not need to worry anymore. Throughout the rest of his journey, whether it was sea beasts with wisdom or ignorant little fishes and shrimps, they stayed away from the air wall as much as possible. Even if some creatures were too slow to get away in time, they simply froze and only moved after the young fellow was far away.

This was the effect of a beast’s bloodline in nature, and it was 100 times more effective than the Humans.

After swimming for an unknown period underwater, Ou Yangming suddenly stopped. He stared at the dark bottomless area below him and was glad.

Even without the stone in his hand, Ou Yangming could sense the familiar power coming from that area.

Yes, the power gave him a familiar feeling. In fact, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness was also dancing intensely as though it echoed with the power below from a distance away.

Ou Yangming experienced the same feeling in the past, and it was especially strong when he was with the little red bird.

That said, what he felt in the past was inferior to what he felt at this moment.

The familiar feeling felt like another version of him was calling out to him, and his Military Fire was from the same line and origin as the power below.

At the spur of the moment, the little red bird opened its eyes and said to Ou Yangming, “Ah, it turned out that you inherited this senior’s legacy! Hmph, you’re really lucky!”

Seeing how envious the little bird was, Ou Yangming noted with a smile, “Let’s go down together. If we find something good, I’ll share it with you.”

The little red bird was elated. “Okay, okay. Lil’ Ming, you’re the best and the more generous person.”

Ou Yangming quivered a little and had goosebumps.

He twitched his mouth and glanced at the little bird, but he finally gave up wanting to persuade it and swam downward.

As he dove deeper, the feeling became stronger.

The seawater’s pressure was extremely high, by which one could not endure it through one’s mental power anymore. Even so, the peculiar stone in Ou Yangming’s hand automatically heated up and built a mysterious connection with whatever was below. Therefore, an indescribable power communicated with the universe and replaced the young fellow’s power to hold the air wall in place.

It felt like a place with countless traps, which would be exceptionally tough for outsiders to get through, but insiders could cheat and get past right away.

The little red bird, which experienced the cheating process with Ou Yangming, jumped cheerfully. Though the space covered by the air wall was not extensive, it was very delighted.

At last, Ou Yangming arrived deep in the sea, where he and the little red bird fixed their gaze on a massive aerolite.

The aerolite was humongous, which was almost a slightly smaller version of Multi-armed King Kong. When the young fellow and the little bird approached it, they could not help but shiver.

Power—forceful origin power!

They sensed the pure and wonderful power contained inside.

“Boom...”

The air wall finally came into contact with the aerolite, but it was then Ou Yangming and the little red bird were taken aback. They looked at each other and noticed that they were both in disbelief.

It turned out that the gigantic aerolite was empty.

Yes. It was true that the aura attached to it was notable, to the extent that it gave off an unimaginable temptation.

However, it was empty inside.

It was akin to the jade stone they received, which used to be a considerable bottomless pit.

Ou Yangming and the little red bird exchanged glances. They looked at the peculiar stone then the giant aerolite, and they cried at the same time.

“No way...”

They had a feeling that the aerolite was particularly important, but there would only be one way to unlock its secret.

The aerolite’s internal space must be filled with mental power.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming and the little red bird had only filled the peculiar stone after working together for 3 days and 3 nights. If that was the case... How long would it take for them to fill the aerolite, which was larger than the stone by unknown times?

The human and the bird felt like crashing into a wall at this moment.
