Chapter 1227: Danger
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Ni Yinghong broke through to become a Venerable One, she had stabilized her boundary in the 10,000 Beasts Mountain. The sudden increase in her strength would have some minor negative effects, which she needed to adapt to.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ou Yangming made another trip to Mount Wuzhi and received Wu Hanning, who was cultivating there.
Bai Shixue was not in Danzhou. For the business of the Chamber of Commerce, she often went to other prefectures. At this moment, she had gone to Youzhou. Hearing that she would be back soon, Ou Yangming did not go there personally. He thought that he would pick her up after she came back.
Wu Hanning had spent more time cultivating, so her strength was stronger than the others. She had reached the peak of an Intermediate Spiritualist.
Ou Yangming naturally would not favor one over the other. He took out 3 Golden Pills, and Wu Hanning ate them consecutively. Soon, she also broke through and became a Venerable One.
This time, even the Tribulation Cloud did not appear.
Ou Yangming seemed to be able to feel that the Spiritual Realm’s will was roaring crazily at this moment. He would not stay in the Spiritual Realm for long, so he naturally did not need to care about these things. A few more Venerable Ones in a short time would not have much effect on the small world.
In the garden, a breeze was blowing. The warm sunlight made people feel warm.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One stood there, wanting to say something but stopped.
Ou Yangming asked, “Senior 10,000 Beasts, could it be that you have something to say? King Kong and I are friends. If you have anything, just tell me directly.”
Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One opened his mouth and said, “Ou Yangming, I want to ask you for a pill that can help one break through.”
“Oh, this is a small matter.” Ou Yangming smiled and did not refuse. He took out 2 Three Revolutions Golden Pills and said, “The pills are a small matter but when you use it, senior, it’s best if you call me. You should also know about the Thunderbolt Tribulation…”
Although the Thunderbolt Tribulation did not appear when Wu Hanning broke through, it did not mean that the Spiritual Realm’s will had completely given up.
If the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had used this pill when Ou Yangming was not here, a group of Tribulation Clouds might appear, instantly turning the person who had eaten the pills into ashes.
“That’s only natural. Aren’t you going to ask me what I want the pill for?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One asked in a low voice.
“What you want to do, that’s your freedom, senior. It’s not good for me to probe.” Ou Yangming smiled and handed over the 2 pills.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One only wanted one, but Ou Yangming gave him 2.
This thing was nothing to Ou Yangming. As long as he was given the materials, he could quickly refine a lot of them. Nonetheless, to others, these were definitely top-grade treasures.
If they were put up for auction, even the lowest Three Revolutions Golden Pill would be priceless.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was deeply moved. He held the 2 pills in his hand and said, “I plan to go to the Great Wide World to take a look.”
Ou Yangming’s appearance gave the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One a huge impact. He was once again filled with fantasies about that vast world.
The only thing the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not let go of was the numerous spirit beasts on this mountain. It was still alright if he was in the Spiritual Realm. This place was quiet, and no one dared to disturb him. If he left this place, no one knew what would happen to the 10,000 Beasts Mountain.
Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the other party. “Hence, you want to find a few backers for the 10,000 Beasts Mountain, senior.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded and said with a wry smile, “That’s right. If the 10,000 Beasts Mountain has another Venerable One, I can put down the burden in my heart.”
“This is good. The world is so big, so the 10,000 Beasts Mountain shouldn’t become a burden in your heart, senior,” Ou Yangming said with a faint smile.
“Senior, you should still choose good candidates and bring them here. I can guarantee that they’ll safely break through to become Venerable Ones.”
“Many thanks!” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One thanked him once again.
There were many spirit beasts on the 10,000 Beasts Mountain, and most of these spirit beasts were loyal to the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Moreover, they were filled with affection toward this place.
Choosing the candidates was very simple. The Venerable One only needed to find 2 high-rank spirit beasts at the peak.
After half a day, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had chosen his successors. He brought them over, which were a white ape and a black bear.
These 2 spirit beasts were both high-rank spirit beasts at the peak, and their bodies were filled with powerful strengths.
“Greetings, Master Ou.”
The 2 of them came in and hurriedly bowed. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. It could be seen that the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had divulged some information to them in advance.
Ou Yangming gently raised his hand, and the 2 of them could not help but stand up. He said slightly, “No need to be so polite. I think you should already know what’s going on. Let me ask you, are the 2 of you willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the 10,000 Beasts Mountain?”
“We’re willing to do that,” the 2 spirit beasts said excitedly.
“Okay.” Ou Yangming could see that they were sincere. He gave the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One a look.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One took out the 2 Golden Pills and gave the spirit beasts one each. He said in a deep voice, “I got these treasures from Master Ou. They can help you break through to become Venerable Ones. You must treasure them.”
“Yes, Venerable One.” The spirit beasts looked serious.
Under Ou Yangming’s gaze, the 2 spirit beasts swallowed the Golden Pills.
The 2 of them were already high-rank spirit beasts at the peak. They were only a step away from breaking through, so it was naturally very easy for them to break through.
After just a while…
The 2 of them had ecstatic expressions on their faces. This threshold had been stuck on them for decades. Unexpectedly, it was solved with just a small pill.
Ou Yangming looked at the sky. The Tribulation Cloud still had not appeared. The world’s will had given up. It probably would not care about the people who had broken through here.
Seeing that the 2 spirit beasts had steadily broken through, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One heaved a sigh of relief. The 10,000 Beasts Mountain had the protection of 2 Venerable Ones, so he would not have any burden to leave.
“Venerable One, are you leaving?” After the 2 spirit beasts became excited, they looked at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and asked.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded. “Everything comes to an end. I want to go to the Great Wide World to take a look. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.”
Ou Yangming also knew that at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s boundary, there was no longer any pursuit in the Spiritual Realm. There was no way to break through to a higher boundary here. It would only slowly wear down one’s life.
After hearing that, the 2 spirit beasts cupped their hands. “Don’t worry, Venerable One. We’ll definitely protect the 10,000 Beasts Mountain well.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One sighed and said, “You guys can go…”
Parting was always sad. The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did not want others to see him leave. The white ape and the black bear left silently.
After they left, Ou Yangming looked at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and said, “Senior, you don’t have to leave in such a hurry. I’ll return to the Great Wide World soon. Senior, why don’t you come with me?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s strength was not bad. He was already a top-grade Venerable One and could be considered a small powerhouse in the Great Wide World. Despite that, he did not know much about the Great Wide World, and rashly going up would still be very dangerous.
“Thank you for your good intentions, Master Ou.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One shook his head, and he said, “Being with you, though my safety will be guaranteed, it isn’t the life I want. In the past, I fought alone in the Spiritual Realm and became the king of the 10,000 Beasts Mountain. I think that in the Great Wide World, I wouldn’t be unable to find a place.”
Ou Yangming did not try to persuade him. Everyone had their thoughts and choices.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did not want to choose the path that was calm and peaceful.
That night, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One left. Before he left, he chatted with Old Craftsman for a while.
The spirit beasts of the 10,000 Beasts Mountain did not know about this news.
Ni Yinghong and Wu Hanning were both stabilizing their boundaries. Ou Yangming accompanied the old man through this period of peaceful days.
After 3 years, the Immortal Path would open.
This period in the Spiritual Realm might be the last period of peaceful time in Ou Yangming’s life.
After 2 days, Ni Yinghong walked out of the secret room. Her aura was stable, and she had completely stabilized her strength as a Venerable One.
“When will Younger Sister Shixue come back?”
She rummaged through her interspatial bag for a while and found a Spiritual Communication Talisman. She wanted to ask Bai Shixue and tell her the news of Ou Yangming’s return.
Ni Yinghong fixed her eyes on it, but her face instantly turned pale. There was a big word written on the talisman—Help!
She did not know when the news came.
Ni Yinghong looked panicked. She quickly ran into the distance and came to the pavilion in the garden. She panicked and said, “Oh no…”
“Elder Sister Ying, what happened?”
In the pavilion, Ou Yangming and the old man were playing chess. When he saw Ni Yinghong rushing over, he got up and asked.
Ni Yinghong quickly ran over, grabbed Ou Yangming’s clothes and said, “Lil’ Ming, Younger Sister Shixue is in danger.”
Ou Yangming’s expression slightly changed as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Old Craftsman also hurriedly got up and asked, “Yinghong, don’t be anxious and take your time. What happened to Shixue?”
Ni Yinghong took out the Spiritual Communication Talisman just now. “Yangming, this talisman was given to me by Younger Sister Shixue. It can be used to communicate through voice transmission. I put it in my interspatial bag these days and didn’t look at it. I just opened it and received this news.”
“Quickly ask what’s going on over there.” Old Craftsman asked anxiously.
Whether it was Ni Yinghong, Wu Hanning, or Bai Shixue, these 3 girls each had their merits. The old man was very satisfied.
“Right, I’ll ask.” Ni Yinghong panicked and forgot that the Spiritual Communication Talisman on her side could also be used to communicate through voice transmission. She drew a few strokes on the talisman with one hand. The talisman flickered with golden light, and the news had spread.
Ni Yinghong said, “Younger Sister Shixue must be in danger. She knows that I can contact the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and the people from the Beast King Sect, so she sent me a message to ask for help. I’m really too stupid. How could I throw such an important thing into my interspatial bag?”
The few of them waited anxiously. They waited for a while, but there was no message from the other side.
Ou Yangming’s expression changed slightly. Since Bai Shixue was not in Danzhou and was about to return, he did not disturb her. He did not expect to encounter such a situation.
Old Craftsman looked at Ou Yangming and said, “Don’t be anxious. Wait a little longer. There might be news coming soon.”
“There’s no need to wait.” Ou Yangming clenched his fist. A powerful spiritual power erupted from his body. The entire Spiritual Realm was once again under his mighty pressure.
Last time, the old man and Ni Yinghong were not Venerable Ones, so they could not feel this power. Only now did they completely feel the terror of his strength.
The Hundred Flowers Sect, the Beast King Sect…. Venerable Ones from many sects looked at the sky in shock.
