Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 170 - Confide



Chapter 170 Confide

Ou Yangming traveled swiftly like a galloping horse, but each time his foot touched the ground, it was soundless.

In front of him, Chen Dishou drifted like a ghost. Nonetheless, no matter how the tributary’s body swayed, Ou Yangming could lock onto Tributary Chen’s body and his movements were not disconnected from the tributary’s.

Chen Dishou was delighted with Ou Yangming’s ability to follow closely.

At last, they arrived at the entrance, where Chen Dishou suddenly jumped and rose to land on the wall.

Ou Yangming stopped as he was speechless.

When they ran on curvy paths, Ou Yangming could always perceive Chen Dishou’s real goal through the thoroughly meticulous state, thus he could easily catch up to the tributary.

However, when Chen Dishou displayed his hard power[1] by leaping onto the towering wall, Ou Yangming had to admit that he flinched.

Nonetheless, when Ou Yangming looked up and saw Chen Dishou’s lonely figure, which stood still in the dark, he was moved.

There were naturally soldiers and guards at the prefecture’s entrance, but Chen Dishou chose a wall that was not where the gate was located, and it was also the darkest spot.

After the unforeseen events that occured the whole day, it was already nighttime.

Therefore, Chen Dishou did not cause any disturbance when he jumped to the top of the prefecture’s entrance.

‘This imperial family tributary has guided me all the way here, so how can he not know what my limit is? Could he be doing this to test me?’ Ou Yangming wondered.

He looked around before he took a deep breath and swayed his body to dash toward the wall.

At the side of the wall, he suddenly bent over like a fully tenacious spear, which was bent due to a huge pressure. His body was bent to the extreme.

Later, Ou Yangming sprung up abruptly and soared into mid-air.

‘Oppress and burst!’

It was a unique skill in spear technique, but he actually adopted it at this moment.

Ou Yangming instantly arrived at the middle of the wall, but he was then exhausted and was about to fall.

Being in mid-air, whistles from the wind were heard.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up because he had never felt so relaxed.

His consciousness seemed to have spread out at that moment, and became one with Heaven and Earth.

The mental power between his eyebrows surged and was instantly released.

When Ou Yangming’s mental state was at the peak earlier, his mental power finally burst out and formed an enormous pressure on Third Young Master Liang.

It was just mental pressure, but it was the most basic use of mental power. Nevertheless, when Ou Yangming taught himself to comprehend this method, he also opened a door of limitless possibilities for himself.

This time, he released his mental power once more, but instead of attacking someone in the form of mental pressure, he attached the power on himself.

Ou Yangming’s essential Qi gushed out, and as the mental power outside his body guided him, his bones, blood, and muscles vibrated slightly. They tacitly communicated and cooperated with Heaven and Earth.

At that instant, Ou Yangming’s body, which was about to fall, stopped as if he became weightless. Instead, he became a falling leaf that drifted in the wind.

If other people were witnessing this, they would definitely be frightened out of their wits.

This was because Ou Yangming actually flew up to the prefecture’s entrance along with the wind. He neither jumped up nor borrowed external force halfway through; he flew up without haste.

He looked like a ghost, which would be seen with the naked eye.

At the top of the entrance, Chen Dishou watched with bright eyes, and he could not help but look surprised.

There were two Supreme Great Ancestors in the Chen family, but he was the only one who apprehended the integration of Heaven and man in spear art, hence he could tell at once that Ou Yangming was performing a skill that was similar to the state.

‘When could one achieve such an unbelievable height with the integration of Heaven and man?

‘The integration of Heaven and man is only a state of apprehending nature, which allows our power to be compatible with Heaven and Earth as much as possible.

‘But the only thing that merges with them is power.

‘Ou Yangming is currently displaying the integration of Heaven and man beyond the range of only power.

‘He actually integrated himself into the state.’

Chen Dishou suddenly had an incredibly wonderful feeling.

His state of the integration of Heaven and man, which he had always been proud of, seemed to be insignificant when compared to Ou Yangming’s.

If what Ou Yangming performed was the legitimate state, it would mean that Chen Dishou only had a rough understanding of it and grasped only what was apparent.

Chen Dishou shook his head and quickly cast aside the thought, which would crush his confidence.

He fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming, but he no longer hid his strong feelings of admiration and satisfaction.

Finally, Ou Yangming flew up to the prefecture’s entrance and sighed a breath of relief. His mental power immediately dispersed, and he gracefully landed in front of Chen Dishou.

He bowed deeply at Chen Dishou. “Senior, I didn’t let you down—I completed your test for me.”

Chen Dishou was stunned. He asked, “What test?”

“Ah, senior… Didn’t you want me to get up here without borrowing any external force?” Ou Yangming looked up in confusion. He blinked innocently and explained, “I thought you wanted to test my flexibility. Luckily, I came up with an idea, and I managed to succeed during my first try.”

Chen Dishou’s face twitched as he asked, “Are you saying that you figured the way to fly up here because you thought I was testing you?”

Ou Yangming nodded and responded, “Yes, but this method is too tiring, so it’s best not to do it too much…”

Chen Dishou nodded without an expression as though he agreed with the statement, but he was actually roaring crazily.

‘What the hell, a test! I only wanted you to jump onto the entrance so that we can hurry on with our journey!

‘In the end, we delayed some time, and you somehow had a deeper and a more far-fetched understanding of the integration of Heaven and man.’

Chen Dishou had a strange look in his eyes because he finally made some sense of why Ni Xuetian and Fang Zhaoyang valued Ou Yangming so much.

It turned out that miracles could be seen from the young fellow at any time.

Despite having surges of stormy waves in his heart, Chen Diyou kept a straight face and turned to jump down from the wall.

Ou Yangming chuckled, then he flashed and followed the tributary.

The instant he jumped down, his mental power burst out again and surrounded him.

Hence, the feeling of becoming one with Heaven and Earth surfaced another time and allowed him to flutter down gently without being hurt.

Under Chen Dishou’s lead, they quickly left the prefecture.

When the tributary finally stopped, he said to Ou Yangming, “You haven’t acquired the essence of the spear technique.”

Ou Yangming quickly requested, “Please guide me, senior.”

Although today was his first time going against an enemy with a spear, he had completely fallen in love with the long weapon. He felt that the mightiness of a spear was superior to a military saber’s.

In actual fact, weapons were not categorized into lowly or fine ones. Different people were fond of different weapons because they had dissimilar preferences and were adept in dissimilar skills.

Ou Yangming unquestionably favored the spear.

“Yifan taught you the spear technique, but he didn’t teach you the real skill behind it,” Chen Dishou said as he nodded, and he asked after a pause, “Do you know why?”

“It’s probably because the technique is the Chen family’s lost study, so General Chen dared not teach it to someone else,” Ou Yangming answered after some thought.

“You’re very smart, hehe. There aren’t actually many people in the Chen family who can grasp the real spear skill, and there are only two people who are qualified to teach it.” Chen Dishou laughed and pointed at his nose. “I’m one of the two people.” Ou Yangming was a smart person, so he instantly understood what the tributary meant.

“Senior, what do you want me to do?”

Chen Dishou stopped smiling, and he replied to him with a stern face, “I want you to fight someone after you learn the spear skill.”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. “Who?”

“I don’t know.”

“W-what?” The answer was truly out of Ou Yangming’s expectations. “I made a promise with someone in the past. We’re supposed to teach a disciple each and let them compete against each other,” Chen Dishou explained then sighed. “The Chen family has many talents, but nobody could really perceive the spear skill. Hehe, even Yifan has only gained superficial knowledge of it, so if I send any of them, they’ll definitely be defeated.”

Ou Yangming fell silent for a while before he asked, “Senior, who did you make that promise with?”

Chen Yishou shook his head and said, “You don’t have to ask, you only need to tell me if you’ll agree to it or not.” “Senior, what if I end up being defeated?” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

Chen Dishou stared snappily at him, but he said, “If you gave your all but still end up being defeated, I won’t blame you.”

Ou Yangming was moved. ‘Is there really such a good thing?’

“Okay, I promise you. Senior, please teach me the real spear skill.”

Chen Dishou nodded. “Okay, watch me well.”

He closed his hands and moved without warning.

Even though Chen Dishou was not holding a spear, when he suddenly moved, Ou Yangming’s vision went blurry as if he saw an invincible, all-conquering spear that towered between Heaven and Earth.

The usage of one’s body as a spear. Chen Dishou actually transformed himself into a spear, and he fluttered around by using Heaven and Earth as his stage.

Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed when the tributary explained and demonstrated the skill. He was wholly immersed in the world of spears.
