Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 922: Help

The weather was clear and the breezes were charming. It was a rare good weather.

Light breezes blew up Big Yellow’s fur. It raised its head and looked into the distance. All of a sudden, a peak covered with yellow sand appeared in its sight. It was Mount Yuantu.

Big Yellow opened its mouth and bared its sharp teeth. It said softly, “Lil’ Ming, look at that place. Why is it so strange? It’s covered with yellow sand, unlike other places.”

Ou Yangming did not reply to it. With a flash of thought, he sent his spiritual power over.

He was immediately puzzled, and he thought to himself, ‘Why is this method of setting up a formation so familiar? After sensing it carefully, he came to a sudden realization. ‘Reborn in Paradise?’ After comparing it with what he had learned, he quickly confirmed it.

Thinking of Reborn in Paradise, he naturally thought of Qiu Chengwang, who was a Venerable One that had been refined into a puppet.

After thinking for a while, he secretly signaled the 3 beasts, which instantly hid in the dark. After so many times of practice, the beasts’ methods of hiding their tracks became even more brilliant.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate. He moved, and his step technique was exquisite as he sped toward Mount Yuantu.

Very soon, the group of people and the Green Pearl Beast appeared in his senses. He rubbed his chin and thought, ‘So they’re hunting a spirit beast, but this spirit beast knew how to hide its weakness and forcefully used its spiritual power to crack open its wound. Even its lethal poison was disguised by a mixture of spiritual power and a special substance. This is really interesting. Looks like those people are going to suffer.’

Although their main strategy of “consuming the spirit beast’s energy” was not wrong, they did not expect that they would fall into this beast’s trap from the very beginning. Indeed, not long after, the spirit beast’s strength was fully displayed, and it dragged the 2 powerhouses into its Qi momentum, making it impossible for them to escape.

‘Should I save them now?’ Ou Yangming thought for a moment and suppressed the thought.

He knew there was a particular way to give a favor. At this time, it was not even a matter of life and death. Even if he saved them, they would think of him as a good person for a time, but they would forget it after a while. The best time for him to make a move would be the most critical moment when the Green Pearl Beast left a traumatic experience in their hearts.

Needless to say, if it was under normal circumstances, Ou Yangming would not do this.

Nonetheless, among the 2 people fighting against the spirit beast in the formation, one of them must be a disciple from Reborn in Paradise. This was very intriguing.

It was worth noting that Qiu Chengwang the Venerable One of Reborn in Paradise died because of Ou Yangming and was also refined into a puppet. This was simply a big humiliation for a formidable sect. Therefore, the young fellow must solidify their “emotional foundations”. Now, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he left a good impression, no matter what he wanted to find out, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

At the spur of the moment, Ling Yue gritted his teeth and stabbed forward with the longsword in his hand. A wave of sword Qi swept out in the air, and it was slightly white. In this moment of life and death, he could not care less about hiding anything. The young man looked ruthless, where a redness flickered in his eyes. Following that, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence, turning it into a blood mist that painted the sword Qi red.

Eventually, the waves became darker, turning into 10 to 13 meters tall waves that surged towards the Green Pearl Beast.

They became faster and heavier just like the waves on the sea. Each wave was higher than the other, giving off the feeling of monstrous waves crashing into a cliff.

When the power reached its peak, Ling Yue let out a cold shout and yelled, “Break!” Consequently, the Qi that touched him and Guan Yue was forcefully broken by the waves. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the Green Pearl Beast’s eyes became more ferocious.

It spat out hundreds of wind blades consecutively!

Inside the narrow formation space, they gave people a feeling that they were overwhelming and unavoidable.

What was even more terrifying was that the wind blades turned into a whirlpool and released numerous green threads, which were 100 times thinner than silk. Due to their density and speed, the green threads became incomparably sharp, which became something that even an Intermediate Spiritualist would need to use all their strength to block.

This was the Green Pearl Beast’s strongest technique—Wind Blades into Threads.

It did not dodge the formation because it wanted to use this technique in this narrow space to kill the 2 hateful humans.

The green threads danced in the wind. They looked soft and smooth but carried killing intents.

Similar to a blooming red rose, though it was beautiful and enchanting, it had thorns all over its body.

The Green Pearl Beast blew a breath of green air at the green threads, which quickly closed up and wrapped around the 2 powerhouses like cocoons.

A monstrous sense of danger appeared in the minds of those powerhouses, causing their bodies to turn cold. It was as if they had fallen into a cold pool in the netherworld. They did not even have any thoughts. As long as they were wrapped by the threads, they would definitely turn into minced meat, where not even a single complete bone would remain from them. Their hearts were filled with despair, and they were feeling regretful. They should not have been so careless and come here to hunt down the injured middle-grade spirit beast.

‘It’s time!’ Ou Yangming saw the looks on their faces and nodded to himself.

With a flash of thought, his bones made a crisp sound, and his muscles squirmed. His body grew taller and bigger, and his appearance also underwent a significant change. Even if someone familiar saw the young fellow at the moment, they would not be able to recognize him.

He shouted pretentiously, “Beast, don’t try to be ferocious!”

Concurrently, he made gestures with his hands, such that only afterimages could be seen as he roared, “Stone Awl Art!”

With that, stones within 33 meters from him seemed to be squeezed by a pair of invisible hands. Hundreds of stone awls flew into the air and overlapped with each other, forming a solid stone wall that blocked in front of the 2 powerhouses. Subsequently, the stone wall pushed outwards and collided with the green threads.

This was a battle between extreme defense and extreme attack. The tremendously thick stone wall directly crushed the green threads, but it did not stop as it wrapped the Green Pearl Beast Within.

Ou Yangming thought, ‘Since I want to leave a good impression...

‘Then I might as well be thorough and give this middle-grade spirit beast to them.’ This was why the young fellow used the stone awls to envelope the spirit beast. He had initially planned to put on a show of being severely injured by the Green Pearl Beast then finally kill it with great difficulty but after some thought, he decided to drop the idea. He would not do such a shameful thing.

As the dust settled, the previously arrogant middle-grade spirit beast was wrapped in crushed stones and was unable to move. Even its throat was strangled by a pair of invisible hands, so it could not make a single sound.

This scene caused the hearts of Guan Yue and Ling Yue to tremble.

Guan Yue’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her tongue was stuck to the roof of her mouth. She felt that her heart had stopped beating, and she thought to herself, ‘The middle-grade spirit beast couldn’t block the attack at all. Judging from his cultivation base, he could probably be ranked in the top three among the outer sect disciples, right?’ At this point, even Ou Yangming’s slightly skinny figure became taller and bigger to her as if he had the strength to carry the universe. The young lady’s mouth parted slightly as she breathed out and said, “I’m Guan Yue. Thanks for your saving grace, Young Master.”

Ou Yangming waved his hand lightly. “Young lady, there’s no need to be so courteous. I, Yu Tianrui, heard the sounds of fighting at the foot of the mountain and came to investigate, but I didn’t expect to see such a scene. Fortunately, I made it in time!” He exhaled lightly as though it was his responsibility to save these powerhouses. This became a more enriched scene to Guan Yue.

Guan Yue could not help but pat her chest with her fair fingers. With a face full of lingering fear, she bowed and expressed, “Brother Yu, if you didn’t arrive in time, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.” She began to size up Ou Yangming seriously. ‘Red phoenix eyes, peach blossom eyes, a beautiful smile, and a clean face. He unknowingly gives people a feeling of intimacy.’ Of course, she was more concerned about Ou Yangming’s cultivation.

Her eyes focused as if she saw a bottomless cold pond!

She thought, ‘Not only is he a caster, but his cultivation base is much higher than mine. I don’t know if he is an Intermediate Spiritualist or an Advanced Spiritualist.’

The young lady secretly glanced at the young fellow with curiosity.

On the other hand, Ling Yue’s face was pale. At that moment, he thought that he was dead for sure. Now that he had escaped death, he greedily breathed in air and smiled weakly. “I’m Ling Yue. Thank you for saving my life, Brother Yu!” He looked at Ou Yangming as though he saw a ball of fire that could burn the void, and he wondered, ‘Which sect is this disciple from? Why does he have such a majestic aura?’ The young man had been very good at reading people since he was young. When he saw Ou Yangming trapping the spirit beast earlier, he also had the intention of befriending him, so he looked at the young fellow sincerely.

Ou Yangming’s white clothes fluttered in the wind. He responded gently, “Brother Ling, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Guan Yue smiled and blinked her eyes but did not say anything. She gently raised her arm and waved it inwards. As such, countless formation boards seemed to be attracted and turned into long arcs that flew over quickly. She pressed her sleeve and kept them.

Ou Yangming’s eyes widened as he said in surprise, “Miss Yue, you know about formations?”

Guan Yue stuck out her tongue proudly.

Once the formation was dispersed, Cao Jiuming, who was at the Extreme Grade boundary, was finally able to get in. He looked at Guan Yue without saying a word, but his eyes were filled with deep worry. Deep down, his eyes were filled with love too.

Ling Yue walked to the side of the spirit beast and lightly knocked on the stone wall. He suggested, “Brother Yu, since you killed this spirit beast, you should take the most credit. Why don’t we travel together? After this spirit beast is sold in the market, you’ll get 60% of the profit while the 3 of us will split the remaining 40%. What do you think?”

“No...” Ou Yangming shook his head.

Ling Yue frowned and asked softly, “What do you think is suitable then, Brother Yu?”

At this time, even Guan Yue’s face turned cold. She thought that Ou Yangming was being too greedy. We’re giving you 60% of the profit. How many spirit ores can you get in the end?’

“10% is enough. This spirit beast was discovered by you guys and more than half of its spiritual power was consumed, which was why it was killed by me so easily.” Ou Yangming sounded sincere.

“What?” Guan Yue and Ling Yue were shocked at the same time, and they quickly waved their hands. However, Ou Yangming’s words won over their good impression. They knew that the spirit beast’s spiritual power was not much consumed, but who would not like to hear such praise?

In the end, Ou Yangming could not win and reluctantly accepted 20% of the profit. Of course, he was not really bothered about the spirit ores but whether he accepted the offer or not was a matter of attitude. At this point, the relationship between the young fellow and the 2 powerhouses had improved unbelievably.

After chatting for a while, Ling Yue asked in a deep voice, “Brother Yu, are you going to travel around the world?”

Ou Yangming nodded and answered, “Yes.”

“Oh, do you have a target?”

Ou Yangming pondered for a moment and replied to him, “I heard about the Big Ruins in Zhangzhou, and I want to go and take a look.”

“The Big Ruins?” Ling Yue and the others looked at each other and asked in surprise, “Brother Yu, you already have a slot to enter?”
