Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1032: Blood Shadow’s Missing

Ou Yangming did not look for Ni Yinghong. It was not that he did not take Old Craftsman’s words to heart.

It was that Ni Yinghong and Bai Shixue had gone to do some business. When they reached the Spiritual Realm, Bai Shixue’s business could be maximized. With the help of the Beyond Heaven Pavilion and the Beast King Sect, its development was fast, and it seemed to be on the verge of becoming the greatest business in Danzhou. Especially after the matter of the Eternal Pill spread, the Beyond Heaven Pavilion had spared no effort in helping the business.

This had also brought Ou Yangming a great deal of wealth. Although his vision had far surpassed pure wealth, he was very satisfied.

The mountain breeze was cool, and the Beast King Sect was full of vigor and vitality.

Ou Yangming’s majestic mental power spread out, and he entered the wonderful states of the interaction between Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous.

The leaves fluttered in the breeze, the earthworms wriggled in the soil, the cicadas chirped on the branches…

Everything entered Ou Yangming’s perception.

After an hour, his powerful mental power had already swept across half of the Beast King Sect. He said softly, “As expected of one of the few formidable sects in Danzhou. They’re getting stronger.”

Following the mountain path, he arrived at a pavilion built on the edge of a cliff in the Beast King Sect. Dim yellow lights flickered gently.

Below was the Wanzhang Precipice, where the Tianlan River could be seen flowing 3 kilometers away. The waves were flat and did not rise and fall, but they moved up and down.

“You’re back?” Wu Hanning’s voice was neither hurried nor slow. It was as if she was unmoving as a mountain.

“I’m back,” Ou Yangming answered softly and pushed open the door to enter.

Wu Hanning sat by the window and rested her chin on her hands. She looked at the Tianlan River below and was deep in thought.

Ou Yangming walked to her side and asked softly, “Aren’t you bored looking at the river below every day?”

She giggled and tucked her black hair behind her ear, revealing her exquisite collarbone, “The waves are different from time to time,” she said, “They rise and fall, move up and down, and have endless waves. Every time I look at it, it’s a different kind of scenery, and I gain a new understanding. As long as I feel it with my heart, how can I be bored?” She looked into Ou Yangming’s eyes and smiled like a fairy in a painting, looking very beautiful.

Ou Yangming ruffled her hair and said in a low voice, “It has been hard on you.”

Wu Hanning shook her head. “This kind of life is what I want the most. I watch the tides every day and have no desires. Life should be more peaceful and less magnificent.”

After a long while, Wu Hanning seriously looked at Ou Yangming’s face. She touched it with her soft and boneless fingers and said softly, “You lost weight…”

“You’ve become prettier,” Ou Yangming expressed.

“Really?” Wu Hanning retracted her fingers and touched her chin with a doubtful look.

“Really,” Ou Yangming said confidently.

When Wu Hanning heard this, she chuckled, and the space suddenly seemed to brighten up a little.

After staying at Wu Hanning’s place for an hour, Ou Yangming flashed out and stirred the sky into pieces.

Wu Hanning looked at his receding figure and beamed like a flower. “My beloved one is truly a peerless hero and a man who can stand up to the heavens and the earth.”

After saying that, she hummed a folk song that had been widely sung. The corners of her mouth curled up as she thought of something.

Ou Yangming got busy. He wanted to find out why the Dragons’ Devouring Power was in conflict with the Heavenly Phoenix Fire.

These 2 enormous powers had always been clearly separated and each had its duty.

Nonetheless, at the critical moment when the tyrannical mental power was being fed back, they started to make trouble. This could not help but make Ou Yangming’s heart clench. After all, once something like that happened, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a second or third time. If it was a matter of life and death, it would not be a small matter. The young fellow might be too cautious or worried, but he still felt that it was a knot in his heart that had to be resolved.

It was said that one could infer the whole picture from a single instance, and that a small sign can indicate a great trend. This was not without reason.

Nevertheless, there was a problem that Ou Yangming had to deal with. If he wanted to explore Taotie’s mystery, he had to find Blood Shadow. With that, without even staying in the Beast King Sect for a day, he was once again rushing about.

In the sky, a silver flying carpet floated as it pleased, but its speed was definitely not slow.

Ou Yangming sat cross-legged and looked at the mountains and rivers below. He said softly, “The river’s like a black belt, and the mountains are like jade hairpins. They’re majestic and magnificent.”

Big Yellow and Multi-armed King Kong sat beside him, grinning, while goshawk followed behind them, flapping its wings and soaring in the sky.

The big yellow dog claws gently touched the flying carpet, and it felt its soft texture. It stuck out its tongue and asked with a smile, “Lil’ Ming, when are you going to refine a flying carpet for me? This feeling of not needing to rely on spiritual power to fly is too satisfying.”

“As soon as you break through to become a Venerable One, you’ll be able to fly with your physical body,” Ou Yangming responded in a bad mood.

Before his voice faded away, Multi-armed King Kong laughed and muttered in a low voice, “Hehe, Master, I want it too.”

Ou Yangming silently rolled his eyes and did not say anything.

Meanwhile, Big Yellow glanced at the king kong, signaling that it was indeed a good brother.

Lil’ Red, which was squatting on King Kong’s shoulder, chuckled.

Ou Yangming knew where Blood Shadow’s biggest stronghold was. How should he put it? In fact, he did not hate Blood Shadow at all, nor did he feel conflicted. After all, the person had helped him when he was being chased by Li Xin. If he were to be fair…

Blood Shadow was a versatile person. He knew astrology, divination, formation runes, and all sorts of skills. The only flaw was that he was a little foolish and loyal. Of course, this kind of character was what Ou Yangming wanted to see. After all, he had Taotie’s power.

Along the way, Ou Yangming talked to the 4 spiritual beasts, and time flew by.

After 3 days, an underground palace filled with ghostly Qi appeared in front of Ou Yangming’s.

It was nighttime, but even the cold moonlight in the sky could not shine down. It was blocked by a mysterious force.

In front of the underground palace, there were countless flowers, but they were broken and withered. The leaves were dry, and there was not even a drop of water.

A cold wind blew out from the underground palace, carrying a faint smell of blood. It made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their bodies shivered.

Ou Yangming’s eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, “Something seems to be wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” Big Yellow stood on his right and asked in a low voice. Its position made the king kong and the goshawk envious. At this time, the position of the 3 beasts represented their status. Of course, Lil’ Red was an exception.

The king kong stood on Ou Yangming’s left while goshawk could only follow behind them or fly in the sky.

Ou Yangming pondered for a moment and said, “There’s a faint smell of blood.”

Big Yellow was not bothered and spat out a bubble from its mouth. It replied, “In such a place, it’s very normal for there to be a smell of blood.”

Ou Yangming shook his head and did not say anything. He could feel that this smell of blood was fresh, and there was strong energy contained in it. Ever since he witnessed the evolution of the laws of the poisonous pill’s world, he always felt that he was blessed with the universe’s great path and all things. His understanding of the laws had surpassed many top-grade Venerable Ones.

In a way, after participating in the evolution of the laws, Ou Yangming could compare them one by one. It would be easier for him to comprehend the power of the laws. This was a power that surpassed that of Venerable Ones.

“Let’s go!” He let out a soft cry. His body moved, and he entered right away. It was truly a bold move.

Corpses and mutilated corpses—many mutilated corpses.

Their eyes were either filled with the madness of learning the path in the morning and dying in the evening, or the relief of great enlightenment, or both.

Ou Yangming searched around, but he could not find Blood Shadow’s corpse.

He knew a huge change had occurred, and the person who had caused this situation was LI Xin.

This guess was without evidence, but Ou Yangming was certain. Women had sixth senses, but so did cultivators, They were so accurate that they could make one’s hair stand on end.

He looked around and looked at the blood pool in front of him. There were corpses floating in the blood pool, and blood was bubbling up. Many bubbles kept exploding, turning into red ripples that spread in all directions.

Ou Yangming’s gaze focused, and his eyes seemed hollow.

They were pitch-black like ink as if they contained an entire world filled with the vicissitudes of life. They were chaotic like the heavenly path, and they were unspeakable.

The 3 beasts only took a glance at him and immediately felt their minds rumbling. It was as if their souls were about to be sucked in. They quickly averted their gazes. Big Yellow scratched its thick and smooth fur and asked telepathically, ‘King Kong, why do I feel that Lil’ Ming is unpredictable now? How strong is he now? Can you block one move from him?”

Multi-armed King Kong shook its head and replied telepathically, ‘I don’t know.’

It really did not know.

Half of Ou Yangming’s body turned pitch-black. A black light flashed. It was mysterious and strange, unpredictable and enchanting.

He raised both of his hands in front of his lower abdomen at the same time. His right index finger and left middle finger slowly interlocked. Following that, the young fellow raised his hands and made a mysterious gesture, then he imprinted it into the blood pool. His voice was cold and emotionless as he said, “With the power of Taotie as the foundation, and with the blood of all living beings as the guide.”

As soon as he finished, both of his hands pressed down at the same time.

Right away, the blood in the blood pool boiled as if it was placed on the mouth of a volcano and was burning.

The strong smell of blood made one dizzy as if one would want to vomit out everything in their stomach.

In the end, the pool condensed and turned into a 3-inches-long young blood dragon that flew out.

“Follow it!” Ou Yangming shouted and moved to follow. This was a tracking method that he gained after becoming a Venerable One, where he could use the blood of believers as a guide. Even if the other believers were hundreds of kilometers away, the young fellow could still find them. Although it was the first time he used this, the effect was unexpectedly good.

The 3 beasts exchanged a look and quickly flew out.

They did not know what happened, but it did not stop them from trusting Ou Yangming.

As long as it was what he said, it would not be wrong. He was the creator of miracles.

The moon was like a disc, and the light was like water. A young fellow, 3 beasts, and Lil’ Red were rushing in the moonlight. Majestic auras spread out, pressing down on all the spirit beasts within 5 kilometers. Their fur stood up as if they had met their natural enemy.

No matter how fierce they usually were, at this moment, they were as docile as a cat.

It was an absolute suppression. It was as if as long as they dared to be disobedient, their souls would be gone.
