Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 728: The Poisonous Pill Returns

With a flash of thought, Ou Yangming opened his eyes and looked around him.

He was in the main hall of the library’s side half. Although the book collections here were related to formation maps unlike the cultivation books in the main hall, 20 over people were reading here.

Ou Yangming glanced at them and hesitated for a while before he got up suddenly. He returned the books to where they were and turned to leave.

“Master Ou.”

A murmur was heard.

Ou Yangming was shocked when he turned around. “Brother Shui, what’s the matter?”

Shui Wenliang immediately asked, “Master Ou, is this place too chaotic for you?”

The young fellow was slightly stunned. He looked at the nearly dead silent hall and thought, ‘How does this place seem too chaotic to you…’

Nonetheless, he answered with a faint smile, “A little.”

“I can solve this problem for you.” Shui Wenliang sighed a breath of relief and said, “Master Ou, please come with me.”

He respectfully brought Ou Yangming to a small room beside. It was not a big room, but it was well-equipped. Not only was there an even quieter reading environment, but there was also a delicate small bed.

“Master Ou, 2 of such a small room can be found in every side hall. As long as you have the authenticating token with you, you can use them anytime you want.” Shui Wenliang smiled brightly, “These are resting rooms prepared for Sir Venerable Ones by our sect, so I guarantee you that you won’t be disturbed at all.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and remarked, “Resting rooms for Sir Venerable Ones… It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to use them.”

“It’s not a problem, it’s not a problem.” Shui Wenliang quickly waved his hand and explained, “Yuqi the Venerable One instructed me to do this, so please don’t reject it.”

“Alright. If that’s the case, thanks for the trouble.” Ou Yangming grinned. He nodded but still turned to leave.

Shui Wenliang was startled for some time, then he caught up to the young fellow and asked, “Master Ou, is there anything else that you need? As long as you let me know, I’ll get everything sorted out for you.”

“Brother Ou, I’d like to go to the toilet. Do you want to come with me too?” Ou Yangming’s face darkened a bit.

Shui Wenliang was dumbfounded. He stopped and smiled bitterly as he watched Ou Yangming leave. Nevertheless, he was rather regretful. Back when the young fellow first came, he had plenty of time to humble himself to fawn over him. Since he missed the golden opportunity, he regretted it very much.

Ou Yangming left the library and arrived at an empty ground.

He released his mental conception and instantly sensed the familiar fluctuating power.

The young fellow curled his lips into a smile and reached out his hand to wave. With that, a black figure soared into the sky and landed on his hand.

It was the poisonous pill’s spirit. After Gold-bodied Venerable One was killed, the young fellow stayed on the spot instead of escaping right away. It was only until Feng Xiang left that it went underground to wait.

In actuality, after gaining its wisdom, the poisonous pill’s spirit became an incredibly rare, ultimate treasure in the Spiritual Realm.

Even the formidable Feng Xiang knew its worth and was moved. Despite that, Ou Yangming’s imprint and aura could be found on the poisonous pill’s spirit, so the giant bird would not snatch it away even if it was thick-faced. If it really did that, at the very least, Lil’ Red would not let it be.

On the other hand, the poisonous pill’s spirit did not know what Feng Xiang was thinking. It only sensed the Phoenixes’ fearsome aura, and it hid right away because they naturally repelled each other. Once Feng Xiang’s aura was completely gone, it came out to look for the young fellow.

Ou Yangming gave up reading and came out to meet the poisonous pill’s spirit because their minds were connected.

As he held the spirit, they exchanged countless information through their minds.

The young fellow nodded. The poisonous pill’s spirit moved so discreetly that it was not noticed by anyone at all.

Having said that, he found it strange because according to the spirit’s description, it seemed like nobody was trying to track it throughout the whole time.

It was evident from the way the insect Venerable Ones acted how valuable the poisonous pill’s spirit was. However, nobody looked for it after the war ended, which was quite odd and worrying. That said, Ou Yangming dropped the matter after some thought.

He was acknowledged by Feng Xiang as the Phoenixes’ messenger in the Beast King Sect. Besides, Yuqi the Venerable One and the others knew who the spiritual thing’s master was.

As long as the powerhouses were not his enemies, they would make a wise choice.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

All of a sudden, the illusory image of a tiny centipede surfaced on the poisonous pill’s spirit. The image swayed as though it was asking for credit for its contribution.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Alright, I know you worked hard. Ah, you really worked hard this time.” He was being sincere. If the poisonous pill’s spirit had not absorbed the poisonous fog without any restraint, the Beast King Sect’s defense would have been seriously affected indeed.

After comforting the poisonous pill’s spirit, Ou Yangming focused and channeled his mental conception into the poisonous pill.

Next, he found himself in a vast starry map. There were no living things in the starry map, by which the place was dead silent. The only thing that gave some life to this space was the drifting nebulas that were either near or far away.

Ou Yangming sensed everything quietly. He was not aware of the mysteries of the spirit in front of him at the moment, but he knew it would be a long process for him to really nurture it.

The young fellow’s mental conception drifted aimlessly in the boundless starry sky, then he suddenly stopped in front of a nebula.

He somehow became eager to act when he faced the nebula.

It was an instinctive and uncontrollable feeling. Without being restricted at all, Ou Yangming took practical action at once with a flash of thought.

Inside his sea of consciousness, his Military Fire burned and turned into a mysterious and peculiar power, which appeared in the starry sky without warning. Next, the nebula emitted an intense light as if it was a torch that had been lighted up.

This was a refinement, as well as an energy sublimation.

Just as Ou Yangming thought that the nebula would be reborn in the flame, another power appeared strangely in his sea of consciousness.

Inside the dark and endless space in the starry sky, an unimaginably enormous head surfaces.

It was a head with only a mouth but not a neck. It widened its mouth and swallowed the nebula along with the scorching fire.

Ou Yangming widened its eyes. Even though his eyes did not see anything, he was so shocked that he could not describe his feeling.

The head was a queer thing that was formed by refining certain energy from the Dragon Coffin through the Devouring attribute. When it existed in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, it vaguely repelled the Military Fire and even showed signs of being on par with it.

When it entered the spirit’s world, it seemed to have undergone an even more drastic change.

The head actually devoured the nebula and the Military Fire together.

It was worth noting that Ou Yangming’s Military Fire was the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Fire! Would the head not be courting its death by swallowing the fire?

Who knew, just as Ou Yangming was dazed and flustered, he witnessed something stranger.

The head also burned after it swallowed the fire for a brief moment. Numerous flames emerged from its surface. No matter how one looked at it, one could see that the head was being enveloped by an intense fire.

Nonetheless, it was unbelievable because the head was unharmed by the fire. Furthermore, it did not seem exasperated at all as though the fire and the head shared the same origin.

In actual fact, Ou Yangming never sensed that the fire and the head wanted to harm each other.

The 2 unexplainable, frightening powers seemed to have achieved an unusual balance because of him.

Ou Yangming observed quietly for some time before he was finally relieved.

Honestly, the 2 powers existed in his sea of consciousness, but they were so peculiar and powerful that they exceeded his controllable limit. If they really wanted to revolt, the young fellow did not know how he should handle them.

After a short while, the head shook intensely, causing forceful air flows to overflow from its scalp and gather very quickly.

A nebula.

It was the nebula that was burned by the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and swallowed by the head.

Nevertheless, the nebula, which had been ravaged by the 2 powers, changed substantially.

The original nebula was gathered by clouds and mist, but it became a round ball this time, where the substances inside were tightly combined. The combination was also somewhat limited, but it was upgraded by a few times as compared to the gaseous state before this.

For some reason, Ou Yangming was slightly afraid when he looked at the unique ball in the void.

The ball could not threaten the young fellow in the spirit’s world, but he somehow treated it with special respect. This was because he had a feeling that he was witnessing a miracle. The miracle did not stand out at the moment, but as long as it was maintained, it would become his greatest fortune.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and curbed his thought to leave the endless starry sky.

He shook his head and identified the direction, then he ran back to the library.

There were still many problems that he wanted to solve. Since he could not ask anyone, the library was undoubtedly the place that he looked forward to the most.

However, he did not notice that not long after he left, the spot that he was at shook a little.

Following that, a faint red light emerged and transformed into a human’s body. Other than that, a centipede the size of a human also came out from the ground.

It was the 10,000-legged Venerable One. The insect Venerable One, which suddenly joined the fight then abandoned its comrades, had not escaped far away but lurked inside the Beast King Sect without a sound.
