Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 529 - The Solution



Chapter 529: The Solution

“Impossible!” Wu Yuanwei shouted almost immediately, “How’s that possible!”

Hong Feiyu laughed. “Brother Wu, a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations. I’m from the upper realm too. Though I don’t know the Interspatial Secret Technique, I have some understanding of it too. With the help of a formation map in the lower realm, the upper realm can connect both realms without much consumption. However, without our cooperation, not to mention the number of resources needed, even if the upper realm makes their utmost effort, they can’t guarantee success in the end,” he spoke seriously with bright eyes.

“Brother Hong, even if you’re not willing to help, do you think the upper realm won’t send Spiritualists here?” Wu Yuanwei’s face changed. He looked around and asked, “Since these spirit beasts can descend to our realm, why can’t the Humans do the same?”

Ou Yangming was moved. ‘Yes, Wu Yuanwei’s making sense. The Insects even sent 3 spirit beasts here, so if the Humans are willing to pay the price, what’s impossible?’

Who knew, Hong Feiyu laughed out loud and asked, “Brother Wu, are you kidding me?”

Wu Yuanwei looked grim as he questioned, “Brother Hong, what do you mean?”

Hong Feiyu sneered and explained, “It’ll obviously be extremely easy if there’s an interspatial passage between our realms, but if the passage hasn’t been built, they can only send people here during specific periods. Besides, as more powerhouses are sent here, the world’s power will likely notice if even more powerhouses come. 7 spirit beasts have descended to the lower realm, right? Adding on to the ones in the lower… Heh, I’d like to know what it feels like to be struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolts as soon as one arrives at the lower realm,” he made a scornful remark.

Ou Yangming’s mouth twitched. Big Yellow was a locally-raised spirit beast, hence only 6 spirit beasts had descended to the lower realm. Nonetheless, there were indeed 7 of them including the Sky-devouring Devil God’s follower.

Wu Yuanwei’s face had long taken on a ghastly expression. He scoffed and responded, “Brother Hong, even if that’s the case, how can they agree with your absurd request?” He turned around and bowed at Ou Yangming. “Master Ou, if you insist on that, you’ll offend them very badly. It won’t matter if the plan fails, but if it succeeds, it might not necessarily be a good thing!”

His words came from his heart, and they were touching.

Ou Yangming looked at the elder and said, “Thanks for the reminder, senior.”

The fact that Wu Yuanwei was doing this proved that he was sincere.

If that was not the case, he would have agreed with Hong Feiyu’s request. Once the passage was activated, and Ou Yangming and the others entered the upper realm, the elder could then go back on his word.

Ou Yangming and the others might be able to suppress everyone and summon wind and rain in this realm, but Spiritualists like them would only be silver carps in a river in the upper realm with nothing to show off.

By then, they might not even stay alive due to the interests of a realm.

Hong Feiyu moved his lips as though he wanted to say something, but he was hesitant after he glanced at Ou Yangming.

He could at most give some suggestions regarding this matter, but he could not decide if OU Yangming would accept them.

Ou Yangming wondered seriously. At this moment, even Multi-armed King Kong kept quiet as if it did not want to disturb Ou Yangming at all.

Indeed, the spirit beasts descended to the lower realm but deep down they hoped to return to the place with abundant spiritual power. Now that the possibility was right in front of him, they did not want to miss the opportunity.

The young fellow looked up after some time and sighed. Just as he wanted to lower his request, the little red bird on his shoulder suddenly jumped and delivered a message to him at the same time.

“Half! At least half!”

Ou Yangming was this close to spurting blood. He closed his mouth and tilted his head to look half-intentionally at the little red bird. The look in his eyes was so complicated that it was indescribable.

Hong Feiyu was rejected by Wu Yuanwei without any hesitation when he proposed that Ou Yangming should be given a tenth of everything, and the elder turned down the demand for the sake of the young fellow’s safety in the future.

Nevertheless, the little red bird made an even more absurd demand, which was more than outrageous. Even if the upper realm made a verbal agreement for the request, Ou Yangming and the rest would definitely be suppressed and killed once they entered the upper realm.

“Trust me!” The little red bird blinked its bright small eyes proudly.

Even so, Ou Yangming shook his head and thought, ‘This little fella’s courting death, but it doesn’t mean I’ll have to die with it too.’

“Senior Wu, a tenth is quite ridiculous,” Ou Yangming expressed with a smile, “I only want…”

“Half, I want half!”

Ou Yangming’s smile froze.

In front of him, Wu Yuanwei, who was initially relieved and was smiling with squinted eyes, was dumbfounded too.

They exchanged glances and became incredibly funny.

The voice sure belonged to Ou Yangming, but Wu Yuanwei did not see him speak.

Hong Feiyu’s face changed. He looked at Ou Yangming in shock and thought, ‘When did Master have such a big appetite?’

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and was going to explain when the little red bird spoke again, “Yes, half—any lesser than that, don’t bring it up anymore!”

Wu Yuanwei looked around and finally spotted the little red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder. He had the strangest look on his face because the seemingly insignificant little bird could not only speak, but it sounded exactly like the young fellow.

“You, this…” He asked in confusion.

“Senior Wu, it’s a misunderstanding.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

“A misunderstanding my *ss!” The little red bird was furious. “Isn’t it just an interspatial passage? If the Humans don’t build it, I’ll do it!”

Ou Yangming pressed his forehead. Perhaps the little red bird would be capable of doing that if it matured, but if he really counted on a young bird to complete the task, it would not be finished even if he died.

He reached out to hold down the little red bird. “Lil’ Red, don’t speak nonsense.”

Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu widened their eyes because it was their first time seeing the little red bird speak.

“Is this a spirit beast?”

Ou Yangming answered after a moment of hesitation, “Lil’ Red is a spirit beast indeed, but it can’t do much and can’t be compared with Multi-armed King Kong and the rest.”

Wu Yuanwei and Hong Feiyu were finally enlightened. Despite that, as long as it was a spirit beast, it must not be underestimated regardless of its race.

The little red bird pecked Ou Yangming ruthlessly several times, but its indestructible beak only left a few tiny red spots on the young fellow’s hand, by which his skin was not scratched at all.

This was not because the little bird was inadequate; if it exerted its true force, it could make a large bloody hole on Ou Yangming’s arm at once. In fact, if the bird went all-out, it could easily split the young fellow’s arm. Having said that, it was only doing this to vent its anger, thus it did not really harm Ou Yangming.

‘The little red bird can’t do much?’ Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow had weird looks in their eyes. Perhaps Ou Yangming was the only one who could say so. That said, it was true that the little bird could not be compared with the king kong and the others because how could the noble creature be mentioned on equal terms with the lowly beasts?

“Master Ou, what do you think about this? Let’s build the passage first and agree on a certain time frame. Depending on the boundary you’re able to cultivate to within the period, you’ll receive a corresponding treatment,” Wu Yuanwei suggested after some thought and added seriously, “Given that you advanced to Spirit Grade in this realm, you’ll have a promising future and might even become a Venerable One once you go beyond this world. If you really succeed…” His eyes gleamed with excitement as he was looking forward to it.

Hong Feiyu rolled his eyes and commented, “Brother Wu, aren’t you being insincere? Hmph, how can one become a Venerable One so easily?”

Wu Yuanwei smiled faintly and replied to him, “Brother Hong, you’re with Master Ou now, but you don’t know much about his past, do you?”

Hong Feiyu flushed and cleared his throat before he answered, “The past isn’t important.”

“Then you can’t be blamed, Brother Hong. Hehe, Master Ou’s best known for creating miracles!” Wu Yuanwei laughed out loud.

Feeling stupefied, Hong Feiyu turned to look meaningfully at Ou Yangming.

“Senior Wu, you’re overpraising me.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Since you’ve considered everything so well, I’ll comply with you.”

Wu Yuanwei was elated. “Alright, I’ll be leaving first then. I hope I’ll receive good news when you arrive at the capital.”

He cupped his hands and left.

Hong Feiyu shook his head and said, “Brother Ou, you’re being too easy. Even if we fail to ask for a tenth, a hundredth sounds amazing too!”

After all, there were countless treasures in the world. A hundredth of everything would be coveted by many as it would be enough for a clan’s long-term development.

Although Hong Feiyu respected Ou Yangming very much, he was not confident that the young fellow would become a Venerable One.

It was worth noting that the Venerable Ones were also exceptionally rare in the upper realm.

Ou Yangming said with a smile, “Brother Hong, it’s important to be content.”

Hong Feiyu was struck dumb, then he responded with a bitter smile, “Brother Ou, perhaps you’re right.”

Nonetheless, the little red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder sneered. ‘How dare you ask the Phoenixes to contribute by offering a tenth of the profit? That’s wishful thinking! If I don’t make you willingly present us with half of everything, I don’t deserve to be a part of the Phoenixes!’

It lifted its head high and naturally released a proud aura.

Hong Feiyu looked at it in shock and somehow felt a chill in his heart, so he shuddered.

He thought, ‘This is so odd…’
