Immortal Path to Heaven

The sky had completely darkened, but the stars in the sky were unusually bright.

Starlight shone down while mists filled the peaks. The Seven Stars sect was like a fairytale world, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

​ 

At night, cool breezes blew gently.

Ou Yangming looked into the distance toward Danzhou and sighed. “Humans worry so much because they have good memories.”

He was wearing a pair of red and white cloth shoes. As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his finger in the air. Consequently, a stream of light shot out, dispersing the mists within 33 meters in front of him. The young fellow’s eyes were hollow, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ou Yangming stood for a while then stomped on the bluestones and returned to his courtyard. He sat cross-legged.

He began to visualize the snow mountain in his spiritual world. After all, the Big Avalanche was the most powerful move he had mastered. Especially when he used the Path Intent Spear to activate the Big Avalanche, the magnificence of that moment would be earth-shattering. No one would be able to defeat it.

Although the Solitary Thought Skill was formidable because it was a mental power, it was only because it was unexpected and unpredictable. In terms of instantaneous eruption, it would be better to fight with force and face attacks head-on.

In that case, the continuous Big Avalanche was even more powerful.

The Big Avalanche had become Ou Yangming’s true trump card.

Ou Yangming breathed in and out, continuously absorbing the spiritual Qi within about 333 meters from him. It was as if it had become a deep black hole. Countless spiritual Qi revolved around him in circles, setting off a gust of violent wind. Gradually, a faint fluorescent light emitted from the young fellow’s body. If one looked down from the sky, one would be able to see that the spiritual Qi within 333 meters from him seemed to have been attracted. They quickly gathered toward him, shrinking and collapsing. There was a fluorescent light at the core, and it was Ou Yangming.

At this moment, Ling Yue flashed. He and Guan Yue rushed over at the same time.

When the two of them saw this scene, they looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time, “How’s this possible?”

They were both disciples from sects with inheritances, so they could naturally tell how much spiritual Qi an Advanced Spiritualist could absorb. Was it not terrifying that an Advanced Spiritualist could absorb all of the spiritual Qi within 333 meters? Normally, a top-grade Spiritualist could only absorb spiritual Qi within that same distance. Ou Yangming was only an Advanced Spiritualist, and yet he could already do it. What did it mean?

Ling Yue’s breathing quickened as he said in a low voice, “Brother Yu’s potential… Is really hard to predict.”

Guan Yue nodded and expressed, “Brother Yu’s one of the most reliable people I’ve ever met. As long as we treat him well, we could maybe rely on him to help us rise in the future.”

The word “us” made Ling Yue overjoyed, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.

He gently pinched the soft and tender little hand of Guan Yue, and he responded, “Yes, how can the icing on the cake compare to lending a helping hand in times of trouble? By then, even if we want to help him, he might not even want our help. The most important thing in life is to know ourselves. When it comes to people and matters, we can’t judge them based on our thoughts. In any case, in the future, we’ll just do what Brother Yu says. Given his personality, I’m sure he won’t mistreat us.”

Today, Ling Yue had witnessed Ou Yangming’s actions in the hall, and he was certain that the young fellow was a person who could return a small favor with great kindness. If people respected him, he would repay them well. In the chaotic Spiritual Realm, there were not many people like him left.

“Let’s go! We’ll come back tomorrow…” Ling Yue looked into the eyes of Guan Yue and said softly.

“Yes, okay.” Guan Yue nodded slightly. For some reason, being looked at by her lover made her face slightly hot and her heart beat so fast that it was in her throat. Even if the young lady forcefully used her spiritual power to comfort herself, it would be useless. Her cultivation base seemed to have lost control.

Ling Yue naturally felt that something was wrong with her, but he knew what was going on and did not point it out.

They came and left in a hurry just like the clouds on the horizon.

The 2 of them decided that they would never say a word about what they saw earlier.

After an hour, the cyclone around Ou Yangming stopped spinning. He opened his eyes, and it was as if there was an arc of lightning zoomed across the sky. He was like a treasured sword that had gone through thousands of strikes and was incredibly sharp.

Nevertheless, after a short while, the sharpness was withdrawn.

Ou Yangming chuckled and thought to himself, ‘The Seven Stars Sect’s spiritual Qi is indeed abundant. This is only a small courtyard. If I were in the Spiritual Vitality Pavilion, how rich would the spiritual Qi there be?’

He sat cross-legged in the courtyard for a night!

Early in the morning, Guan Yue and Ling Yue came together again.

Guan Yue changed into a set of pink clothes like delicate and tender pink peach blossoms. At first glance, she did not look stunning enough but the more one looked at her, the more charming she looked, where she was very pleasing to the eye.

Ling Yue had also dressed up meticulously. He carried a longsword by his waist, and his long hair fluttered behind his back. His white clothes were like snow, and he looked like an independent young master. The young man was already handsome to begin with so when he dressed up, he looked even more otherworldly.

When they stood together, they really matched each other perfectly.

Ou Yangming giggled to himself and lamented, ‘A man and a woman who are passionately in love are indeed unreasonable.’

Ling Yue took a step forward and said in a gentle voice, “Brother Yu, Yue’er and I will accompany you to choose a magic staff today.”

Guan Yue nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, as a powerful caster, you don’t even have a magic staff. That’s too shabby!”

Ou Yangming cursed internally, ‘The Blood Spear Dragon Slayer could also be used as a magic staff, and it’s exceptionally powerful. It’s just that I can’t show it off easily.’

Despite that, this thought only flashed through his mind. With a smile, he greeted them and asked, “Brother Ling, may I know which peak I’ll be buying the magic staff from?”

Ou Yangming figured that since the Seven Stars sect was the greatest sect in Zhangzhou, they must have the Beyond Heaven Pavilion. Even so, he did not know if the pavilion had magic staff. As far as he remembered, while the Beyond Heaven Pavilion was mysterious and mighty, they only dealt with items such as peculiar stones from beyond heaven. This was the same for the branches on Mount Wuzhi and in Huixun City.

Even in the treasury, he did not see anything like a staff.

Ling Yue waved his sleeve and laughed. “Brother Yu, don’t worry. The Seven Stars Sect has tens of thousands of disciples. Naturally, there are places to buy and sell magic weapons and pieces of equipment. Other than exchanging contribution points for weapons, you can also buy them with spirit ores.”

Ou Yangming nodded and walked with them.

On the small path between the Ultimate Sword Peak, only a few people carried a sword case on their backs while most of them still had long swords on their waists. This was the Ultimate Sword Peak. Even if one was not an Intermediate Spiritualist and could not use the sword case to raise a sword, they still had to carry a sword with them and would not put it into their interspatial bags.

After an hour, the 3 of them walked along a narrow ancient path and arrived at a huge shop.

The shop’s main hall was massive as it was at least 3 kilometers long. There was a dazzling array of goods, and one could either buy or sell things. Numerous precious spiritual herbs complemented those goods, which emitted bright lights. Having said that, in short, there were a total of 5 big areas, which were medicinal pills, spirit treasures, cultivation techniques, spiritual herbs, and rare treasures.

Shelves were placed in each area. Names were written on them, and the prices were also marked.

A dozen Extreme Grade cultivators acted as workers and were busying themselves inside. When they looked at the woman sitting in the middle, they were in awe and in adoration. After taking just one glance, they lowered their heads, afraid that they would be rude to the beauty.

The lady’s name was Ye Meng. She wore a long white dress, and her eyebrows were beautiful and graceful.

Her eyes were very big and seemed to carry spiritual Qi that was going to overflow. Her smile was gentle, which did not seem strange nor overly eager!

After seeing Ou Yangming, Ye Meng took the initiative to welcome him with her long sleeves fluttering in front of her body. She smiled gently and asked, “What do you need, fellow friend?” There was a hint of doubt in her eyes. She had always boasted that she knew people as well as pills, and she was both accurate and precise. However, at this moment, it was as if she was facing a bottomless pit. There was nothing but a trace of calmness in the young fellow’s hollow eyes, not even the slightest ripple…

Ou Yangming let out a soft exclamation and sighed to himself. ‘As expected of the greatest sect in Zhangzhou. It’s truly extraordinary for even an attendant to have such a good eye.’

At the same time, Ou Yangming became more vigilant. The more this was the case, the more it showed that he was in a dangerous situation. He had only changed his build and face. It would be fine to lie to a Spiritualist, but he would feel diffident to lie to a Venerable One.

That said, his expression was as calm as ever as he answered, “Do you have a magic staff for sale here?”

“A magic staff?” Ye Meng was slightly stunned. It had been many years since a caster had appeared in the Seven Stars Sect, let alone someone who came to buy a magic staff. Nonetheless, she was only startled for a moment before she regained her senses and asked, “Yes, we do. May I know what quality you’re looking for?”

“Let me take a look first!” Ou Yangming looked across the hall as he replied softly.

“Alright, fellow friend, please come to a private room for a chat!” Ye Meng said softly. She had a feeling that the person in front of her was not simple. In addition to the rumors from a while ago, she had some vague guesses in her heart. The young lady thought, ‘Could he be the caster who appeared at the foot of the Ultimate Sword Peak?’ With this thought in mind, her eyes became brighter, and she looked more enthusiastic.

Ling Yue’s thoughts were clear as he held Guan Yue’s hand.

He noted softly, “Brother Yu, just go. Yue’er and I also need to buy some things in the hall.” He was being very sincere, causing Ou Yangming to have a good impression of him. After all, who would not like someone who was sensible and understood small matters?

Ou Yangming stepped on the wooden ladder and followed Ye Meng to a private room on the second floor.

There was a pot of orchid in the room, and its fragrance assailed his nostrils. With a whiff, even the spiritual Qi in his dantian became much more active.

The woman chuckled and bowed to him with her hands placed together in front of her waist. Her voice was extremely gentle. “I’m Ye Meng. Greetings, fellow friend.”

Ou Yangming also smiled and cupped his hands. “I’m Yu Tianrui!”

When Ye Meng clapped her hands, a maid quickly brought in 2 cups of fragrant tea.

“I wonder if you have any special requirements for the magic staff you need?” She took a sip of her tea, and her lively eyes rolled around. The spiritual Qi in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

“We’ll see.”Ou Yangming was calm and indifferent. He did not show any desire to buy one.

Light gathered in Ye Meng’s eyes. She smiled apologetically and responded, “Fellow friend, please wait a moment. I’ve already instructed the maid to fetch a magic staff.”

After about 8 minutes, a maidservant knocked on the door. Ye Meng called her in. The maidservant was holding a wooden box in his hand. A strange fluctuation spread out in all directions.

Ye Meng raised her hands to receive it. She smiled before saying anything and explained, “This staff is called the Magic Winter Staff. Its attributes are exceptionally good. If you really want it, I can take matters into my hands and give you a 50% discount.” With that, she handed the wooden box to Ou Yangming.
