Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 665: Entered The Secret Realm Again

Ou Yangming ran quickly in the direction that he sensed in his sea of consciousness. Over there, Big Yellow was leading the 6 lizards to go in circles.

Perhaps the 6 lizards realized that something was off, but they did not have a better idea.

High-rank spirit beasts were indeed far more powerful than middle-rank spirit beasts, but every spirit beast had its strengths and weaknesses. It would be quite forceful to count on the short-legged lizards to be on par with a walking beast in terms of speed.

In fact, the lizards had reached their limit by following Big Yellow closely without being shaken off by it.

They did not give up because they wanted to wait until the big yellow dog became exhausted. After all, in terms of endurance, walking beasts could not compare with insects.

Big Yellow, which was running crazily, twitched its ears all of a sudden and became more cheerful because it received the message sent by Ou Yangming. Although it was not a clear message, the big yellow dog understood what he meant because they made an agreement before this.

With that, Big Yellow sped up a little and took another detour.

After an hour, when it passed by a turning on a slope, Ou Yangming suddenly jumped and landed nimbly on its back. Following that, he conveniently put away the fake person.

Big Yellow worked hard as it carried a fake person and ran around for a long time. It was not weary, but it was enormously pressured because it was being pursued by 6 high-rank spirit beasts. Therefore, it could not help but shout and complain when Ou Yangming returned.

Ou Yangming chuckled. He retrieved a jade bottle and poured the ordinary immortal liquid into Big Yellow’s mouth.

It was not the concentrated immortal liquid, but the ordinary one must not be underestimated in terms of replenishing one’s spiritual power.

Big Yellow immediately closed its mouth. While it ran, it enjoyed the feeling of nourishment from the immortal liquid.

In actuality, it had several bottles of this immortal liquid inside its stomach, but they were its trump cards. Unless it was a moment of life or death, it would not use them rashly.

The human and the dog exchanged glances, then the latter sped up abruptly. This time, instead of going in circles, it ran straight in a certain direction.

Upon seeing this the 6 high-rank lizards were surprised yet overjoyed because they had been forced to pursue their enemies with all their might. After all, they had been running for such a long time, hence they must not give up no matter what. Moreover, the despicable dog somehow changed its direction and escaped in a straight path, so did it not mean that it was almost depleted of energy?

At that moment, the high-rank lizards became confident and used more energy for the pursuit.

Nonetheless, the pursuit went on for a day and a night. Even the high-rank powerhouses, which were considered bosses among the Insects, could not stand it anymore.

However, their efforts were not in vain.

This was because they sensed that the big yellow dog stopped trying to escape; it went to hide inside a cave after it went past a col.

The 6 lizards were elated. If Big Yellow continued to run on the mountain path, they would be helpless. Since it entered a dark and hollow cave, it meant that they were in the Insects’ territory. If the lizards failed to capture the beings from the lower realm, they would feel ashamed of being insects.

One after another, the 6 lizards entered the cave. Rather than swarming in together, they naturally went into a formation.

This was the Insects’ innate ability, and it was something that they must master throughout their growths.

As they went deeper into the cave, the more they sensed something peculiar. There seemed to be unique interspatial energy inside the cave, causing them to be misled while they tried to sense the direction.

The lizards looked at each other nervously.

“Interspatial power—this place is abundant in mighty interspatial power.”

“Yes, this is the entrance of a secret realm, isn’t it?”

Any cultivator would not be able to resist a secret realm, and the high-rank lizards were no exceptions.

“This isn’t right—that human came from the lower realm, so how could he find a secret realm in the Spiritual Realm?” One of the lizards blurted.

The other lizards fell silent for some time, then one of them swung its tail and noted, “That human came from the lower realm, but it’s possible that he directly entered a secret realm when he was on his way to our realm.”

After thinking for some time, the others nodded and agreed with it.

In actual fact, while they knew that was possible, the chance of it happened was so small that it was negligible.

Nevertheless, given that a secret realm was right in front of them, they would not miss it even if they knew it was a trap. Besides, they were 6 high-rank spirit beasts altogether. As capable as the human from the lower realm was, he would not be able to trouble or harm them.

Thus, after simply coming up with an excuse, they went deep inside the cave without any hesitation.

If they could gain a secret realm at the end of the day, even if the human from the lower realm escaped, they would probably be rewarded by Ghost-clawed Venerable One too.

Before long, they arrived at the real entrance and entered the secret realm.

They were suddenly greeted with light as the humongous secret realm was fully displayed in front of them, causing them to gasp.

There were numerous Almighty Beings in the Spiritual Realm, and they possessed countless secret realms too. Despite that, most of those secret realms were tiny and not exactly useful. As for vast, large-scaled secret realms, they were already being controlled, where each controller was a reputable being from an influential sect or force.

It was worth noting that an extensive and boundless secret realm would be sought after and fought over every powerhouse no matter where it was.

Not to mention the 6 lizards, even Ghost-clawed Venerable One, which had been managing a force for many years, never possessed such a secret realm.

The covetous looks in their eyes were clear when they looked at each other.

Even if this secret realm was barren, it was a treasure land that was hard to come by.

As long as it was managed for a century, it would naturally produce great harvests. If it was even used for a race’s development, Venerable Ones could even be cultivated.

Furthermore, this place was not only spacious, but it also had plentiful spiritual power. Being nourished by the spiritual power, unimaginable benefits could still be discovered by the lizards.

At this point, they almost forgot about going after Ou Yangming.

The lizards’ leader shouted out of the blue, “Catch that little fella. Whether he’s dead or alive, we mustn’t let him leak information about this secret realm!”

“Yes.” The other lizards responded at the same time.

They had the same thought as they were determined to take forcible possession of this immeasurable secret realm, so they must not let other races locate it.

“Look—footprints.”

The lizards focused on the area in front of them. They spotted faintly discernible footprints that intersected with each other, but some obvious ones were headed to the west.

After differentiating the footprints briefly, the lizards drew a conclusion.

The damn dog had somehow entered the secret realm, but it neither recognized it nor knew its value because it was ill-informed. As such, it blindly went deep inside the realm.

Fervent looks could be seen in the lizards’ eyes as they exchanged glances.

If they caught up to their enemies and captured the human from the lower realm, aside from being able to complete their mission, they would also secure a gigantic gift, which was considered good fortune to them.

The lizards were not dispirited anymore; they got into a neat formation and advanced according to the direction of the footprints.

It was a meticulously-prepared formation, by which the lizards could instantly react regardless of the direction their enemies tried to attack them from. On top of that, they could look after one another easily and fully utilize their overall strength.

After a few hours, the lizards yelled.

This was because they spotted Big Yellow in the distance. The big yellow dog and the human on its back seemed to be shocked after they saw the lizards, and they sped up to enter a dense forest.

The lizards did their best to go after Ou Yangming and Big Yellow but they still could not catch up to the big yellow dog.

Just as they arrived in front of the expansive forest, their hearts somehow raced as though giant rocks pinned them to the ground.

‘What’s going on? Why is there such a fearsome momentum inside this secret realm? Even Sir Venerable One isn’t this powerful, is it?’ They wondered.

While they were feeling doubtful, a green rattan appeared without warning and went for one of the lizards. The lizard was a high-rank Spiritualist, so it could not wait to be seized. That said, when it started to move its body, it realized that the rattan seemed to be alive as it took a turn halfway and landed right beside it.

The unlucky lizard ended up shrieking miserably, then it was tightly coiled by the green rattan and dragged into the forest.

As for the remaining lizards, their faces changed. They could not be bothered about the benefits anymore, and they retreated involuntarily.

In spite of the great benefits, nobody would long for them if they could not live to enjoy them.

Having said that, the lizards were too late to realize that they were in danger.

Soon enough, more rattans came out from the oasis at lightning speed and targeted a lizard each. Given the distance, no matter how the lizards tried to jump away, they could not escape the rattans.

It took only a brief moment for the 6 lizards to be captured and brought into the center of the oasis.

The high-rank spirit lizards, which had forced Ou Yangming and Big Yellow to flee, were defeated just like that without being able to resist at all.
