Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 444 Sharing Power

Ou Yangming’s mental power surged like a monstrous wave in his sea of consciousness. It was as though the milky way had plunged from the sky and would overturn the word.

The crystal ball, the purple Military Fire, and even the Devouring power were eager for action.

Ou Yangming knew he could convert the spirit insect’s substantial mental power to his own at any time if he was willing to. This was because he possessed the Devouring attribute, which would simplify the process for him.

Moreover, whether he devoured the insect’s remaining mental power only or consumed its crystal ball as well, he could take the most crucial step to break through the 100-mark for his mental power.

Nonetheless, if he decided to do that, he would immediately be faced with Heaven and Earth’s repulsive force—the Heavenly Thunderbolt, which had just been performed by Multi-armed King Kong earlier.

Although Ou Yangming was extremely sure of himself, confidence did not mean arrogance. At the very least, he was unwilling to deal with the Heavenly Thunderbolt before he smithed appropriate pieces of thunderbolt-proof equipment.

Therefore, Ou Yangming was doing his best to curb the surging mental power in his sea of consciousness at the moment. He wanted to get rid of it in a certain way.

If other mental power cultivators knew what Ou Yangming was planning to do, they would certainly be envious and would loathe him. After all, mental power was highly desired by those cultivators, but the young fellow was trying to avoid it.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming sensed two other mental conceptions entering his sea of consciousness.

He was surprised and overjoyed when he sensed the two conceptions, but he was also deeply moved.

Ou Yangming was very familiar with the mental conceptions, hence he identified their owners as soon as they appeared.

There was a huge disparity between his mental power and that of Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong, to the extent that they were almost Heaven and Earth apart. Nevertheless, given that the young ladies were also mental power cultivators, they naturally knew the state he was in and were aware of the immense danger if they were to enter his sea of consciousness.

Even so, the ladies decided to enter.

The intense feeling that gushed to Ou Yangming’s mind was simply indescribable. Despite that, he instantly welcomed the two mental conceptions. As their conceptions interlaced, they began to exchange information with each other.

Ou Yangming was informed about the situation on the wall. Honestly, he was not worried because he knew Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk would not look on without helping if the protectors around him encountered an unsolvable crisis.

At the very least, nothing in the city could stop the two spirit beasts.

Similarly, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong soon found out about Ou Yangming’s situation. They were delighted by the outcome and were in awe of the mental power that he possessed.

He was a step away from breaking through the world’s limit.

In other words, while Ou Yangming’s martial art cultivation base was only at the peak of Yang Grade, his mental power was so great that he could resist a Supreme Great Ancestor at the peak of Extreme Grade.

The three of them did not need to communicate through words at all because they seemed to have become one due to the integration of their mental powers.

At the spur of the moment, a bold idea crossed Ou Yangming’s mind.

The Devouring attribute in his sea of consciousness turned into a large mouth and devoured the insect’s residual mental power as if it was a bottomless hole.

Even though the insect was only a clone, its mental power was not inferior to Ou Yangming’s at all. This was the miracle when one’s mental power exceeded the 100-points mark, and it was far from what could be compared by someone that had never crossed the barrier.

After a brief moment, the devoured mental power was released again.

The mental power had been converted after it was devoured, thus it no longer carried the spirit insect’s mark. It was almost like the agglomerated crystal ball as it became the purest power in the world.

Any mental power cultivator would be incredibly attracted by the power. Through their merged mental conceptions, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong understood Ou Yangming’s intention right away.

The two beautiful ladies, who were sitting with their legs crossed beside Ou Yangming on the wall, smiled faintly.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The young ladies knew if they accepted the gift, they would have unbreakable relationships with Ou Yangming. That said, they did not hesitate at all, so they quickly absorbed the pure mental power into their spiritual worlds.

Peculiar spiritual fluctuations were released from their bodies. The massive mental power, which should have been absorbed or repelled by Ou Yangming, ended up being transferred to their spiritual worlds.

Without Ou Yangming’s Devouring power, the spirit insect’s marks could not have been erased, and the young ladies would have been in dangerous spots if they absorbed the mental power. Now that they were taking in the purest form of mental power, even if there was a causal connection, it would be related to Ou Yangming. As for the spirit insect…

The moment the Devouring attribute appeared, the enormous mental power no longer had anything to do with it.

Eventually, the surging mental power in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness subsided. There was only such an intense agitation because of the insect’s mental power, so everything went back to normal once the extra power was slowly digested by Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and opened his eyes, which were shining in strange lusters.

The other people somehow felt pressured when they looked at him. It was even more shocking when they—including the usually proud Supreme Great Ancestors- lowered their heads as they dared not look him in the eye.

After the mental power battle against the insect’s clone, Ou Yangming’s understanding of mental power improved.

It was worth noting that the experience from such a life-or-death battle could not be mentioned on equal terms with normal fights.

In a way, though Ou Yangming had not gotten past the world’s limit and had not arrived at a spirit beast’s standard, he could imitate a bit of the unique oppression from that level.

He might seem like a fool if he used it against a real spirit beast, but it was more than enough to ward off a great ancestor.

Ou Yangming turned to look gently at the two ladies beside him.

The ladies were willing to risk their lives to enter his sea of consciousness. What more could he say?

Perhaps the only thing that troubled him was there were two of them. “Brother Ou, how are they?” A soft voice was heard.

Ou Yangming looked up and answered with a smile, “They’re fine, don’t worry.” Bai Shixue sighed and expressed, “It’s a pity that I’m not a mental power cultivator; I couldn’t help at all.”

Ou Yangming tensed up a little, and he twitched his mouth before he responded with a bitter smile, “Young Pavilion Master, I appreciate your kindness.”

“Do you really appreciate it?” Bai Shixue grinned.

The young fellow was stunned, and he was lost for words.

Bai Shixue smiled, but it made her seem lonely. Given her beautiful looks, many people were captivated when she acted that way.

“Elder Brother, Elder Sister Bai was actually very worried about you too…” Jiang Jiumei uttered softly as she could not hold it in anymore.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and put on a straight face as he spoke like an elder brother, “You’re just a little girl, what do you know? Don’t speak nonsense!”

Jiang Jiumei pouted her lips as she felt wronged. At this point, she did not look like a dignified Supreme Great Ancestor at all. However, this made her seem more alive and less untouchable. As abundant mental power entered their seas of consciousness, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong’s spiritual worlds underwent drastic changes. The changes did not happen progressively, they occurred abruptly like a rocket.

There were pros and cons to this method, but everything was worth it for the two ladies, who desperately needed more powers.

Yu Jinshuang and Lao Boyi stared nervously at Her Royal Highness because they were afraid that a mishap might happen; they would regret this for life. They both knew how important the princess was in the imperial family. His Majesty the Emperor would likely rather lose a few sons than see the gifted princess, who would possibly become the Humans’ next best powerhouse, get hurt.

At last, Wu Hanning opened her eyes after an hour. Her eyes gleamed like stars. The other Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other as they were relieved. They no longer needed to worry about the princess.

Wu Hanning slowly stood up and nodded at Ou Yangming, then she waited without saying a word.

Yu Jinshuang and the others were about to extend their greetings to her when she waved her hand and fixed her gaze on Ni Yinghong.

In terms of mental power, Ni Yinghong was evidently far from her. As such, while the princess could quickly transform the immeasurable power for her own use, Ni Yinghong needed more time.

Since Her Highness was willing to wait, the other people could only wait as well. The atmosphere on the wall became exceptionally strange, so much so that nobody even handled Dong Haoxian’s corpse. After another hour, Ni Yinghong’s eyelids began to twitch. Ou Yangming and Wu Hanning looked grave, but they were elated because they sensed that the young lady had successfully converted the power.

Sure enough, Ni Yinghong’s energy, essence, and spirit underwent significant changes the instant she opened her eyes.

The three of them exchanged glances because they had a feeling that they became tied up to each other in a certain way. It was an everlasting connection that originated from their hearts.
