Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 327 Draw Space

The weather was favorable in the secret realm.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming knew the weather change in the realm was not natural but man-made.

As long as Wu Yaunwei was willing to, the sky could be clear and bright forever in this place.

The strongest powerhouse in the imperial family had given orders without Ou Yangming knowing, hence many rare materials were soon sent to the secret realm and were presented to Ou Yangming.

He was subconsciously shocked after he carefully inspected the materials. Ou Yangming gained some memories from the crystal ball, where the most important information was the way and key points to refine an interspatial bag. Nevertheless, the way to identify materials was also recorded in the memories. Therefore, Ou Yangming could recognize that the materials in front of him were treasures that could be used to refine interspatial bags.

Needless to say, the treasures were different in quality, and some of them were even slightly damaged. Even so, the hundreds of space-related items were enough to shock an expert.

Ou Yangming was especially lucky to have acquired three Big Abdomen Ghost Spider leather bags.

Apart from the three bags, he never came across materials that were related to space, not even when he attended the Myriad Treasure Meet.

It was evident that real good materials were stored in the different forces’ respective treasure house. Although some treasures ended up with common folk due to misjudgments from those forces, there was a slim chance of stumbling on them.

“Ou Yangming, the items are here, so do as you see fit,” Wu Yuanwei stated. “Senior, I have a request,” Ou Yangming expressed after some thought.

“Go ahead.”

“I’ve met His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed to smith pieces of affordable Good Grade equipment in large batches for the upcoming disaster.” Ou Yangming later retrieved a stack of drawings and said, “These are mold drawings that I previously recorded, so please pass them to His Majesty and give the order to smith the weapons as soon as possible.” He was clearly worried as he explained, “I have a bad feeling that Changlong County’s catastrophe isn’t far away.”

Wu Yuanwei nodded. “You’re concerned about the country and the people, so I’ll get it done for you, don’t worry.”

He accepted the drawings and flashed away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. That said, his voice echoed in the air.

“Be at ease and refine the interspatial bags. I won’t let you down.”

Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. He had a hunch that it would be much more effective if he gave the drawings to Wu Yuanwei than if he presented them to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, in a world where martial arts dominated, the fact that Wu Yuanwei possessed such marvelous abilities proved that even the emperor would not dare to disobey the elder.

Ou Yangming sat with his legs crossed and picked up a silk-like material.

He was not going to meddle in the matter regarding the mold since he entrusted it to Wu Yuanwei. Besides, the young fellow believed that the better he performed in the secret realm, the more the elder would not disappoint him.

The Military Fire flashed in his palm. The silk cloth was a natural product as there was no sign of it being manually manufactured at all.

This was a unique plant known as the Endless Herb, whose growth was extremely slow and unordinary. If an Endless Herb was found in a certain area, there would not be a second one within 50 square kilometers from it.

On top of that, the spirit herbs looked incredibly odd.

They were like a piece of flattened silk cloth, where they grew upward in the form of tiles.

Such a peculiar plant would surely attract a lot of attention, by which it would attract various creatures even in the wilderness and remote places.

Despite that, the plant was powerful as it could trigger interspatial power. Once a living being with flesh and blood was near it, the silk cloth would release an enormous slicing power to kill that being. Consequently, the dead being would provide an unlimited supply of energy to nourish the Endless Herb for it to grow healthily.

Needless to say, the bizarre plant was not invincible. Whether it was humans or formidable beasts, they could still kill the plant and collect it.

However, Ou Yangming received the pieces of information from the crystal ball, and it was his first time seeing the real deal.

Ou Yangming weighed the Endless Herb in his hand and carefully inspected the herb’s state. The silk cloth carried a tremendous power, which was quite similar to the Big Abdomen Ghost Spider’s leather bag but was different in some ways. It was worth noting that every life carried different powers but very few people could distinguish them in detail.

Ou Yangming nodded after he examined the herb for some time, and he already had a specific plan to refine an interspatial bag. Despite that, instead of carrying out the process right away, he closed his eyes and began to rest.

As said by Wu Yuanwei, it did not seem like a person of Ou Yangming’s level could refine interspatial bags. Even though Ou Yangming succeeded by luck with the mysterious Military Fire’s help, he consumed a substantial among of mental power and vigor.

His priority at the moment was not continuing to refine more bags, but to get as much rest as possible.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply after an hour, then he held the silk cloth and began to draw composite rune compositions in the void.

In a certain corner of the secret realm, Wu Yuanwei nodded because he was pleased with Ou Yangming’s performance. He admired the young fellow for being neither conceited nor rash, and for playing it safe. Having said that, the elder knew the sudden appearance of the genius would certainly catch the attention of different forces. Since the imperial family had the upper hand, they had to pursue him closely to not miss out.

Runes were formed in front of Ou Yangming one after another. Though it was only the void, it seemed to have turned into a wall when Ou Yangming made strokes with his finger and wrote his masterpieces on it.

This was the wonderful function of mental power; something false could be turned into truth through natural communication.

Of course, based on Ou Yangming’s mental power, this was his limit for the time being. There were more magical functions for him to explore and to utilize.

While the Big Abdomen Ghost Spider and the Endless Herb were materials for the refinement of interspatial bags, they were entirely different thus the combinations of Space Runes could not be lumped together. Without having inherited the crystal ball’s memories, Ou Yangming would have been at a loss.

Nonetheless, he had a well-thought-out plan at that moment.

As he kept constructing Space Runes, which were dissimilar in styles and functions, he slowly turned pale. He had nearly reached his limit by arriving at this stage with the help of his mental power.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming underwent the refinement process once and was assisted by the Military Fire, hence he could ignore the biggest problem in the merging of interspatial structures.

As such, the silk cloth naturally curled up after half an hour of runes construction, and it was waiting to be shaped. Ou Yangming’s mental conception was immersed in it, but while he looked attentive, countless thoughts crossed his mind.

He told Wu Yuanwei that he only had a 20% success rate in refining interspatial bags.

It was a leeway that he created, and he only intended to protect himself.

This was because the refinement of interspatial bags was without a doubt ten times harder than the Layering Art. If he displayed a 100% success rate, he would likely stir up unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, the trouble might come from outside of this world.

Thus, Ou Yangming was undecided when he was a step away from completing the interspatial bag.

‘Should I give up and let the material be damaged, or should I successfully refine the bag?’

Every interspatial material was precious, and one would feel terribly distressed if one was ruined.

That being said, Ou Yangming made his decision after a moment of hesitation. He collected himself and looked exceedingly calm.

It was true that the material was exquisite, but it could be replaced for sure if one looked hard enough. In comparison, it was more important that Ou Yangming kept his secret hidden.

By channeling his mental power into the silk cloth, Ou Yangming was about to make adjustments to the interspatial structure from the inside to destabilize it, the purple light in his mind showed a prompt.

[Unformed space found, draw?] Ou Yangming subconsciously paused. Though he knew Wu Yuanwei was likely peeping at him, he could not help but twitch his mouth.

‘This Military Fire is truly out of this world. It can draw unformed spaces too?

‘What exactly has my sea of consciousness become? It’s fine that it stores different attributes, but to store space…

“The thought of it gives me goosebumps.’

However, Ou Yangming developed a strong trust for the Military Fire, which was accumulated bit by bit through numerous tests. The fire gave him a greater shock this time, but he managed to remain calm.

‘Draw.’

As he made up his mind, a purple light ring flashed into the silk cloth, causing the Space Rune combinations, which were constructed by Ou Yangming through a lot of work, to vanish in the blink of an eye. Once the purple light flowed back, the silk cloth split and turned into ashes but also seemed like it turned into air, leaving no trace in the world.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes with a straight face and continued to rest.

After a long time, he picked up the second material. It was slightly damaged, and it also disappeared like dust in the air after the refinement process. Due to the face that the refinement of an interspatial bag required huge mental power consumption, Ou Yangming took long breaks and could only try to refine five bags in a day.

When the fifth material unfolded slowly in Ou Yangming’s hands and was refined for an hour, the young fellow finally smiled brightly.

Wu Yuanwei flashed and appeared in front of Ou Yangming like a ghost. Ou Yangming stood up and kept the interspatial bag, then he asked, “Senior, I’d like to keep this interspatial bag for my own. What do you think?”

‘You’ve kept the bag already, so can I even disagree?’ Wu Yuanwei thought.

He responded with a smile, “The criterion is one-in-ten, so it’s up to you how you’d like to allocate it.”

“If that’s the case, thank you, senior.” Ou Yangming smiled cheerfully as he touched the interspatial bag on his waist.
