Chapter 745: Fellows

Mao Jianbi’s eyes lit up, but he soon sighed and said, “Where can I find supreme materials…”

He was a great elder that was also a top-grade Spiritualist in the Beast King Sect, but he also felt troubled at the thought of supreme materials. This was because he knew very well that materials that would be accepted by a blacksmith like Ou Yangming were not trifling at all.

Perhaps only materials from top-grade Spiritualists would be praised by the young fellow.

Nonetheless, not to mention Mao Jianbi, even Yuqi the Venerable One did not have many of such materials.

After all, top-grade Spiritualists could not be met so easily. Moreover, almost all of them had powerful forces as their backings. They were figures that were specially trained by their respective force, hence those forces would not let things be if they were harmed.

Even so, Mao Jianbi did not know that Ou Yangming had the 10,000-legged Venerable One’s carcass.

If he knew, he would certainly understand the real meaning of supreme materials and would give up on his impractical thought.

Mao Jianbi shook his head and stopped daydreaming. “Master Ou, congratulations.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. “What?”

“Your friends have come.” Mao Jianbi chuckled.

“What?” Ou Yangming’s eyes gleamed. “They’ve come from Mount Wuzhi?”

“Yes.” Mao Jianbi looked indifferently. “Previously, we’ve asked many times for them to be sent here, but they kept giving excuses and were half-hearted. Heh, after hearing that you’ve become the Phoenixes’ messenger, they hurried over and even have a Venerable One to support them.” He lowered his voice before he continued, “That Venerable One has been staying here as he insists on waiting for your return.”

Ou Yangming could naturally tell that he was displeased, but it was reasonable because Mount Wuzhi was known as Danzhou’s greatest sect, and yet they bullied the weak but feared the strong, which was disappointing.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming was not egotistical to think that Mount Wuzhi would be afraid of him. Without his identity as the Phoenixes’ messenger, the Venerable One from Mount Wuzhi might not even look at him straight in the eye at all.

Ou Yangming nodded and smiled. “Great Elder, I understand.”

Mao Jianbi looked deeply at him and said, “Let’s go and show them how elegant the Beast King Sect’s Master Ou is.”

As Mao Jianbi controlled his flying carpet and flew away, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. ‘That fella’s quickly cunning; he tied me to the Beast King Sect just like that.’

With that, 2 flying carpets flew in the sky one after another, which was an unusual scene.

Almost every cultivator in the Beast King Sect was looking up enviously at the sky.

Nevertheless, given the statuses of Mao Jianbi and Ou Yangming in the sect at the moment, nobody dared to challenge them and risk public condemnation.

“Roar…”

A violent roar was suddenly heard coming from a mountain. Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed as it was such a familiar sound, but this was his first time hearing it after he left the lower realm.

“Shriek…”

Another cry was heard, then a gigantic figure flew out from the mountaintop and headed toward Ou Yangming.

It was the goshawk, which was flapping its large wings as it circled the young fellow’s flying carpet.

Mao Jianbi furrowed his eyebrows as he was displeased. The Beast King Sect mainly comprised walking beasts, but they also had humongous spirit birds. If those birds had the guts to fly around without restraint they would have been struck down already.

Inside the Beast King Sect, apart from the Venerable One, only top-grade Spiritualists had the right to soar into the sky.

Despite that, upon seeing the goshawk, which was only a high-rank spirit bird, Mao Jianbi would not make a move no matter what he was thinking. This was because it was Master Ou’s pet.

Ou Yangming laughed out loud and uttered, “Goshawk, long time no see.”

“Yes, Master.” The goshawk was surprised yet overjoyed. “You’ve actually become an Intermediate Spiritualist. This is an astounding achievement, and you’re the first I know!” Its eyes flickered as though they were shiny stars, and it was in admiration.

Ou Yangming was startled. He looked at the goshawk in confusion. If it was not because the aura matched, he would have thought that he was facing a fake goshawk.

The goshawk was extremely stable in the lower realm, but it shamelessly fawned over the young fellow at this moment. Furthermore, judging from the way it looked, it seemed to be very familiar with doing this.

Having said that, there was something that Ou Yangming did not know. Back in the lower realm, he was always together with Lil’ Red. The goshawk was not weak, but it was fearful when it met the little red bird. As such, it was brave enough to have been able to still fly.

As for babbling on and on, it would not have the guts to do so no matter what.

Now that Lil’ Red had left, and Ou Yangming had become the Phoenixes’ messenger, the goshawk was no longer afraid, thus it naturally became livelier.

The Phoenixes’ messenger was equivalent to a deity to the Birds, so it would not be too much for even the goshawk to be more fervent toward the young fellow.

“Roar…”

Another deafening roar was heard coming from the mountaintop. When Ou Yangming lowered his head to look, he immediately spotted a majestic figure. It was Multi-armed King Kong, which was an overlord in the lower realm.

The moment the king kong saw Ou Yangming on his flying carpet, it stood up straight and raised 2 of its armed high in the air before it struck its chest. Consequently, interspatial ripples could be seen around it.

Ou Yangming could not help but grin, and he had a gentle look in his eyes.

Multi-armed King Kong was acting violently, but Ou Yangming could sense its joy.

‘That big fella might not have willingly followed me at the beginning, but it’s definitely the most sincere toward me now.’

Seeing as his flying carpet was slowly being lowered, Ou Yangming suddenly took a step out into the void and descended like a shooting star.

Mao Jianbi was dumbfounded. Although he knew Ou Yangming would not commit suicide at this time, he was taken aback by how the young fellow was free-falling.

The goshawk shrieked and flapped its wings to catch up to Ou Yangming. Just as it wanted to catch him, a giant hand extended out to push it to the side.

At the same time, Multi-armed King Kong reached out with its other hand to catch Ou Yangming.

The second it caught the young fellow, it automatically lowered its hand to offset the falling force.

Ou Yangming stood up straight and laughed out loud. Sure enough, the king kong had a deserved reputation; the ability to tackle complicated problems easily could not be done by ordinary spirit beasts.

After being pushed to the side by Multi-armed King Kong, the goshawk flew back angrily and kept making noises. However, the king kong acted the same way as it did in the lower realm, where it did not spare a glance at the goshawk at all, causing it to be furious.

“Woof…”

Big Yellow, which was next to the king kong’s leg, wagged its tail and barked hard as if it was reminding Ou Yangming of its existence.

Ou Yangming was delighted to see the 3 of them gathered.

In the lower realm, they were the ones that traveled everywhere with him to stop the Humans’ disaster. Therefore, he was indescribably elated when they met again.

Besides, he knew while the 3 fellows seemed like they did not get along, if they were in fatal danger, they would be the most reliable comrades.

Ou Yangming tapped the king kong’s fingers and noted casually, “King Kong, you lied to me hard.”

Multi-armed King Kong was baffled. “When have I lied to you?”

Big Yellow stopped barking while the goshawk almost forgot to flap its wings. They were struck dumb as they looked at Ou Yangming.

The king kong was mountainous, strong, and courageous, but why would it lie to anyone?

“You didn’t tell me that your strength was suppressed.” Ou Yangming smiled with his eyes squinted. “You’re the 10,000 Beasts Ridge’s pride—a top-grade Spiritualist!”

A top-grade spirit beast and a high-rank spirit beast were only one rank apart, but their statuses and strengths were entirely different.

Members of a supreme sect would be sorrowful if a high-rank powerhouse died, but it would not affect the whole sect. In comparison, if a top-grade Spiritualist died, the supreme sect would not leave the matter at that and would likely get into a life-or-death battle.

Big Yellow knew this already, thus it continued to wag its tail as it did not find it strange.

On the other hand, the goshawk widened its eyes and questioned, “Are you really a top-grade Spiritualist?”

Multi-armed King Kong looked at it and responded, “Didn’t you hear? I’m the 10,000 Beasts Ridge’s pride.”

“The 10,000 Beasts Ridge? Ah, I know who you are,” the goshawk shouted, “But why did you go to the lower realm? This is impossible…”

Multi-armed King Kong smiled bitterly and sighed. “Something went wrong during my cultivation, so I had to borrow the lower realm’s environment to suppress my powers, which was why I had no choice but to go there.”

Ou Yangming and the others were speechless. ‘Borrow the lower realm’s environment to suppress your powers… You’re already extraordinary when your powers are suppressed. If you unleash all of them, what kind of monster will you turn into?’

Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming asked, “King Kong, are you about to advance into a Venerable One?”

Multi-armed King Kong hesitated for a while before it answered, “Yes. I hadn’t done anything since I came to the Spiritual Realm, but the universe’s spiritual power here is too powerful, so I can’t hold my powers in much longer.”

Ou Yangming asked with a grim look, “How long more do you have?”

“A year or two.” The king kong had a grave look on its face too. “If I make any moves, that period might change.”
