Chapter 667 - Prying The Origin



Chapter 667: Prying The Origin

Big Yellow looked at Ou Yangming in confusion. It suddenly realized that despite having a mysterious spiritual connection with him, it could not perceive his thoughts at this moment. It seemed like the young fellow sealed his thoughts for a moment, where nobody else could pry his spiritual world.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming had only controlled his mind; he did not control his emotions too. Therefore, Big Yellow and the Wutong Tree could sense how anxious and uneasy he was feeling.

The face on the tree wall looked around and said, “Master, don’t worry. If that Venerable One enters the secret realm, I’ll make sure it won’t be able to leave!”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and waved his hand impatiently.

The Wutong Tree and Big Yellow thought he was worrying about Ghost-clawed Venerable One, but he was the only one that knew the fearsome power that he sensed had nothing to do with that Venerable One. Moreover, deep down the young fellow feared the power more than he did Ghost-clawed Venerable One.

Ou Yangming scanned his surroundings and took a deep breath to suppress his fear, then he asked, “Wutong, if you cut off all connections with the outside world, can any other being sense your existence?”

The Wutong Tree shook its head without any hesitation. “Other than you, Master, nobody else can sense me.”

“Why am I the exception?” Ou Yangming’s eyelids flickered.

“That’s because you’re my master.” The Wutong Tree smiled. “You left a mark on me, and it’s an unerasable mark; it won’t disappear unless one of us dies. That said...” It smiled proudly and continued, “Master, if you can truly refine me and successfully build a nest, it won’t be easy for you to die even if you wanted to.”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he thought, ‘What do you mean by even if I wanted to die? Can you talk nicely?’

Nonetheless, he questioned patiently, “Why is that so?”

“We’ll become one after you build a nest, so you can be resurrected here even if an accident happens to you.” The Wutong Tree smiled and added, “This is the innate ability of your race, and it can’t be done by other beings!”

Ou Yangming was deeply moved.

‘Doesn’t this mean that once I build a best on the Wutong Tree, I’ll have an immortal clone?

‘No wonder the Phoenixes are so mighty; they have such a notable life-saving trick. The only thing is that I’m powerless now because I’m not capable enough yet.’

Ou Yangming pondered for a brief moment before he raised another question, “Wutong, how can I hide my relationship with you?”

The Wutong Tree was puzzled. “Master, what do you mean? Does anyone actually have the guts to pry your thoughts?” It was in disbelief because it could not figure out who exactly would be so daring.

“You only need to answer me.” Ou Yangming scoffed.

“Master, if you’re able to gather your mark and hide it in your origin, even your seniors won’t be able to find it,” the Wutong Tree answered after some thought

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He looked deeply at the extensive tree wall.

Although he tried his best to hide it, the tree still made out a part of the truth.

He wondered for a while then entered his sea of consciousness with his mental conception. Inside his vast and illusory spiritual world, his conception was the only master.

With a flash of thought, a scorching fire appeared in the spiritual world.

Ou Yangming quietly sensed the fire, and he was absent-minded for a bit. The fire had merged with his mind and body, by which he was the Military Fire was him and vice versa; there was no distinction between them.

Many things existed in his spiritual world. Among them, the tiny purple lights were the greatest in number.

The lights contained various attributes, which were Ou Yangming’s greatest trump card. Without them, he could not have achieved what he did so far.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not focus on them at this moment. He seemed to be fully drawn to the fiery flame.

It was as though he became a narcissist at this time, where he became fully engrossed in the fire, which was almost equivalent to him.

One would gain inner sight to one’s body when one cultivated martial arts to a certain level.

Ou Yangming was using it on a spiritual level at the moment.

Having said that, his spiritual world was extremely different from that of ordinary people because it merged with his Military Fire. Therefore, it seemed to be beyond his limit if he wanted to pry the real mystery of the world.

Even so, Ou Yangming was tireless, and he persevered. Eventually, he sat with his legs crossed and looked like he was not going to stop unless he achieved his goal.

Big Yellow went around Ou Yangming several times and could not help but feel fidgety.

It could sense the young fellow’s nervousness and uneasiness, hence it wanted to help him get past the hurdle too. The only problem was that it did not know what it should do.

All along, Big Yellow took pride in being Ou Yangming’s best helper. However, it vaguely felt that it was not qualified enough to help him at this moment.

“Boom...”

Ou Yangming’s Military Fire suddenly rose inside his spiritual world and burned in a wider range.

He channeled his mental power endlessly into his Military Fire, and he was releasing the flame’s power through a unique method. As the power kept growing stronger, his mental conception could sense more things.

The young fellow never experienced this before. Even when he released his Military Fire to an extremity, he never sensed its origin.

Normally, something that appeared every day or could be easily obtained would not be valued. Even if it was sought after and envied by everyone else, the person in possession of it would not find it previous.

After being reminded by the Wutong Tree, Ou Yangming paid attention to his Military FIre for the first time.

Fortunately, the Military Fire had truly become one with him. If not, he would not be able to apprehend anything even if he came to a sudden realization.

After sensing for a long time and burning his Military Fire with plenty of mental power, he managed to find something unordinary indeed.

It was faint energy—the most unique energy that hid inside his Military Fire.

Ou Yangming was moved. He vaguely sensed that he was going to unearth the Military Fire’s biggest secret. If he could understand the secret, perhaps he could crack its various wonderful abilities.

The young fellow slowly calmed down and sensed the fire. He was like a child that entered a maze at the moment, where he walked and explored the maze with excitement.

As he explored the maze, he gained benefits beyond anyone’s imagination.

Ou Yangming beamed with joy. He was deeply moved and in awe, which could not be put into words.

Back then, he saw countless floating light spots in the little red bird’s spiritual world. Those light spots were inherited memories from the Phoenixes. Even though the little bird was limited by its capabilities, such that it had not inherited even one ten-thousandth of its inheritance, it would be able to inherit everything as long as it did not die halfway.

Furthermore, as the little red bird became more capable, it could unlock more inherited memories, which would allow it to always be brave. As such, it would not need to worry about techniques and knowledge.

Ou Yangming envied the little red bird very much because of this, but he also understood that this was the Phoenixes’ special inheritance, which was not something that an ordinary human like him could get a share of.

Nonetheless, when his mental conception began to pry the Military Fire’s origin, he suddenly realized that there were also numerous inherited memories inside this marvelous origin. Of course, they were mostly locked and could not be easily unlocked.

In actuality, Ou Yangming was lucky to have found the inherited memories, let alone using them for himself.

While he could not obtain these inherited memories yet, he did not give up. As long as he knew about them, he could continue to make attempts.

He would try over and over again until he succeeded.

In any case, the Military Fire was inside his body, and it would be wishful thinking for anyone to snatch it away.

“Pow...”

Without warning, one of the points among the countless inherited memories exploded, causing plenty of information to gush into Ou Yangming’s mind.

It was a powerful mental power cultivation technique. According to its description, if one managed to cultivate it, one’s mental power would improve significantly. Most importantly, it could change one’s mental power’s features and attributes, allowing one to pry the hidden secrets in the origin more easily.

Ou Yangming could not help but sigh. His Military Fire did not have wisdom, but it had a distinctive ability, where it would unlock the inherited memory that suited him the most at this time according to his skills.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming felt super exhausted.

He was appalled, so he quickly curbed his mental power and made the scorching fire go away.

The consumption of releasing his Military Fire at full force was out of his expectations. It had only been a short while, but he felt like he no longer had the power to go on.

Ou Yangming dared not force it, so he opened his eyes after he curbed his mental power.

In front of him, other than the Wutong Tree and Big Yellow, the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard and Fat Antelope had also somehow appeared.

The 2 spirit beasts were excited when they saw Ou Yangming. Fat Antelope expressed, “Master Ou, we took 3 days to come here from the secret realm’s garden, and we were afraid that you might’ve left. Luckily, we finally meet again.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He found it strange, so he cleared his throat and asked, “Big Yellow, how long have I been meditating?”

Big Yellow looked at him and answered slowly, “It has been 5 days.”
