Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1105 - A Crisis Is Coming

Chapter 1105: A Crisis Is Coming

Du Xie was slightly taken aback.

He had thought that the powerful Ou Yangming would not know about the past that had been sealed away.

Nonetheless, the young fellow had actually heard of it before, hence he subconsciously paused for a moment.

This was not because the clan master of the Shaman Tribe was ignorant, but because there were very few formidable humans who knew about this matter. Among the Dragons and the Phoenixes, there were probably not more than a handful of them. Moreover, Ou Yangming was a human, so Du Xie did not think about the possibility.

Even so, Du Xie had been through countless hardships. He had seen the world, so he recovered in an instant.

He smiled brightly without any awkwardness.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and explained, “In the ancient times, the Ancient Shamans were indeed too overbearing and despotic. After the calamity, they gradually declined. During that period, the Demons rose, and the Dragons and the Phoenixes took the lead in launching the Ancient War. After that, it was also known as the Shamans Extermination War.”

Du Xie drank a mouthful of spirit tea and moistened his throat, then he continued, “The war lasted for tens of thousands of years. It caused mountains and rivers to shatter, plants to die, stars to turn into ashes, and the flames of war spread throughout the entire Great Wide World. Thousands of races were plunged into deep trouble. At that time, under the Ancient Shamans, there were plenty of powerhouses. In detail, there were 36 tribes with spirits of chaos with outstanding combat powers. They could block 10 enemies at a time and could fight against many equal-ranked powerhouses. The Qiongqis and the Golden Crows were among them.” The old man deliberately paused for a moment, and he looked at Ou Yangming with a slightly solemn gaze.

Ou Yangming nodded to show that he understood. He used his gaze to signal the old man to continue.

He had heard about this matter from the Bone Dragon, but it was not so detailed.

“After that, the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows rebelled. They secretly collected the blood essences of the 10,000 races to temper their bodies. In the end, they were all sealed by the Big Nine Heavens and Ten Earth Sacrificial Blood Formation, but they’d be able to break the seal in at most 100 years.” Du Xie’s pupils constricted slightly, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

“How are the strengths of those 2 races?” Ou Yangming asked.

“They’re stronger than the Dragons and the Phoenixes.” Due Xie spoke calmly, but his words sounded like a stormy sea to Ou Yangming.

For some reason, the room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Du Xie got up from his stool and stood up straight.

The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together like a piece of old and withered bark, but they gave off a solemn feeling. He said in a deep voice, “Lil’ friend, you can take it as I’m taking advantage of my seniority, but I have a request, and I hope that you’ll agree to it.”

“Senior, please.” Ou Yangming focused.

“I hope that you’ll be able to repair the Big Sacrificial Formation and prevent the Great Wide World from falling into the flames of war again.” As Du Xie spoke, he bowed.

Ou Yangming hurriedly dodged. He had a clear distinction between right and wrong. The descendant of the Shamans in front of him was dedicated to the peace of the Great Wide World. Everything the old man did was for the sake of billions of lives. This could not be faked, so he had to avoid this bow no matter what.

The young fellow had always killed decisively, but he never killed a good person indiscriminately.

It was the same when he was in the Spiritual Realm, and it was the same now.

Ou Yangming stepped to the right. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he gently waved his hand as he smiled bitterly and said, “Senior, there’s no need to be like this. It’s my bounden duty to protect the peace of the Great Wide World. It’s just that my. . . My strength is too weak, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility.” He spoke with extreme sincerity and before he could finish, he bowed deeply.

The look of admiration in Du Xie’s eyes grew even more. Generally speaking, one’s horizons and breadth of mind determined one’s height.

For one who had a dream and longed for peace, no matter what, one’s achievements in the future would not be too low.

The old man looked into the distance, and a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, “500 kilometers away from the Shaman Tribe, there’s a place that tempers one’s heart. It’s called the Rebirth Cave. It opens once every 10,000 years, and only one person can enter each time. Anyone who enters the Rebirth Cave won’t be affected by the karma between Heaven and Earth, but the danger within is inexplicable. Of course, correspondingly, many fortuitous encounters will follow. I wonder if you’re willing to give it a try, Lil’ Friend Ou?” Normally, he would not be willing to give up this good fortune. Now, the lamp was burning to warn him about a storm that was brewing in the heart of origins. He had no choice but to give out a favor. Given that this savior had appeared in his senior brother’s divination, how could he be simple?

“Thank you, Clan Master.” Ou Yangming did not argue and nodded.

For some reason, he felt a faint sense of anxiety deep in his heart as if an unavoidable crisis was looming over him.

“It’s nice talking to smart people.” Du Xie slapped his thigh and laughed heartily. It was fine if he did not laugh but once he did, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together, splitting his entire face into many pieces. Many bumps intersected with each other, but he still gave people a feeling of kindness.

The two of them talked until late at night.

Du Xie rolled up his sleeves, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. His interest in talking had faded.

Ou Yangming’s ability to read people’s expressions was profound. He immediately left his stool and got up to leave.

After leaving the small house, Ou Yangming strolled along a winding sandalwood path. Looking at the bright moonlight gently sprinkling on the ground, and listening to the incessant chirping of insects and birds, his heart was at peace. The turbid Q in his Dantian Lake had turned into Yin, while the clear Qi turned into Yang. They were chaotic and indescribable. The young fellow stopped in his tracks and lifted his head to look at the horizon. One of his eyes was black while the other was white, and an image that he had never seen before appeared in his spiritual world.

He saw many Shamans hiding under the moonlight, sitting upright as they patrolled the place.

The murderous auras on their bodies were awe-inspiring. It was as if they would attack without any hesitation if there was even the slightest movement. Their attacks would be like fire, fiery and endless.

In the distance, many threads that were hundreds of kilometers long intertwined together and formed a net that shone with a faint dark light. It enveloped the entire Shaman Tribe, bringing with it a wave that made people tremble in fear.

‘This is the Shaman Tribe’s Guarding Formation.’ Ou Yangming knew what it was.

All of a sudden, an old figure appeared in his perception. The figure was only 333 meters away from him. The person wore a long grey robe that covered half of his body. There was a barely noticeable struggle in his turbid eyes, and his hands were sometimes powerful and sometimes relaxed.

“Why is he here?” Ou Yangming had a puzzled look on his face.

He recognized this person. It was Du E, who was the old man who had worried about him during his battle with Yun Lan.

Ou Yangming rubbed his chin with his fingers and cast this thought aside. Sparks appeared in his spiritual world. Some were big and some were small. The colors were different. He found where Big Yellow was and slowly walked over. At this point, the spiritual world unique to the Phoenixes had been revealed. It was incomparably vast. The law of Yin and Yang was constantly rotating inside. Even the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin had been taken out by Ou Yangming and sent into his spiritual world.

After 10 breaths.

Ou Yangming sat cross-legged under a wooden bed. His heart was guarding his spirit, and his spirit was holding his essence. He meditated and began to visualize the snow mountain.

At this time, in a formation 5,000 kilometers away from the Shaman Tribe.

Luo Yang gently shook the fan in his hand. It had the picture of a lady drawn on it. A faintly discernible cold aura spread out in all directions. He put away the fan in his hand and pointed toward the void, then he asked in a deep voice, “How is it?”

As soon as he finished, purple vines appeared out of thin air. They were as thin and dense as silk, and they filled half of the sky. The purple vines suddenly contracted, and a purple flower bud appeared at each of the tips. The surrounding spiritual Qi seemed to be attracted by the flower buds and was absorbed, forming a beautiful purple flower. Immediately after, a poisonous insect bit a vine into pieces. Its wings shook, and it flew out from the vine. 1, 2, 3... They were endless.

If Ou Yangming saw this, he would be able to recognize that this was the foreign race that had once appeared in Big Ruins.

The venomous insect had sharp teeth and 4 pairs of legs that looked like 8 sharp bone blades.

Its wings had a devilish snake-shaped creature engraved on them, and its eyes were cold and emotionless. At the spur of the moment, plenty of insects gathered out of thin air. A head, arms, a body... In the end, a human-shaped monster was formed. The vines in the sky turned into legs and were deeply embedded into the void. It was the Dead Turbidity!

A green light flashed in the monster’s eyes like a ball of ghostly fire. It answered, “Yun Lan...” It secretly glanced at Luo Yang. Seeing that he looked calm, it mustered up its courage and continued, “Yun Lan has been captured alive.”

After hearing that, Luo Yang remained calm.

It was as if Yun Lan was a stranger who had nothing to do with him. There was no sense of guilt in his heart.

Behind Luo Yang were tens of thousands of races from the primal chaos. Their auras were powerful and every time they inhaled, they would stir up gusts of wind. If it was not for the barrier of the formation, they would have been discovered by the Shamans long ago.

A green ox released white mists from its nose and walked to Luo Yang’s side. It asked softly, “Young Master, what should we do now? If no one opens the formation of the Shaman Tribe, how are we going to charge in?” As its voice reverberated in the air, a series of noisy discussions was heard, and the eyes of the powerhouses from the various races revealed a hint of worry. After all, this matter was important, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Luo Yang shrugged indifferently, and an ambitious look that could devour the void appeared in his eyes.

He explained, “Disguising as a human and entering the Shaman Tribe was originally the worst plan. It’d be good if he succeeded by chance, but it wouldn’t be a big deal if he failed. The goal was to make them careless and look down on us. This is our chance. Besides...” He paused and sneered before he continued, “Besides, I still have a backup plan. Since the Shamans don’t know what’s good for them and don’t know how to judge the situation, we’ll just destroy them. Do they really think that things are the same as they were in ancient times? Do they really think that they can control the wind and rain? The sky has changed a long time ago.”

“Young Master, you’re really wise!” The tens of thousands of formidable warriors roared at the same time. Their voices reverberated through the sky and ground, stirring up the void.

Luo Yang shook his head and looked in the Shaman Tribe’s direction. He thought to himself, ‘It’s time to use the spy that has been hidden for 10,000 years. Once the Shaman Tribe is destroyed, the shackles in the souls of our seniors will be removed, and we’ll surely be able to break through the formation faster. By then, we’ll first sweep through the heart of origins, unify the Great Wide World, rule over all races, and achieve immortality. As for the Dragons and the Phoenixes, they’ve been fighting for tens of thousands of years. As long as we trip them in the dark, we’ll be able to break through without being attacked.’

At this moment, a ball of raging flames burned in his heart. Within the flames, it was as if he could see the scene of him ruling over the Great Wide World.
