Jalan Abadi ke Surga - Chapter 710 - Poisonous Pill

Yuqi the Venerable One looked up at the sky and noted all of a sudden, “Everyone, the Insects’ poisonous gases are powerful. Our sect’s Big Mountain-guarding Formation can block them, but the consumption’s too high.” He paused for a while before he continued, “Once the Snakes release their poisonous gas too, we’ll set out to face their attacks, so please do your best.”

Immortal Fox and the others bowed and replied to him, “We’re willing to serve you.”

Whether it was the elders from the Beast King Sect, or foreign powerhouses such as Immortal Fox and the rest, they obeyed Yuqi the Venerable One.

The Insects’ poisonous gases were indeed first-class attacks, such that even the influential sect dared not say that the Big Mountain-guarding Formation could resist them for a long term. Needless to say, the poisonous gases also could not remain mighty forever.

Once the 3 Venerable Ones attacked with their poisonous gases one after another, the second round of attacks from them would definitely be weaker in terms of speed and power. That would be when the human powerhouses would need to leave the Big Mountain-guarding Formation to fight.

During past generations, the Humans had always dealt with the Insects’ invasion like that. It had been the norm for hundreds and thousands of years.

“Boom…”

As Yuqi the Venerable One spoke, sure enough, the third poisonous gas was released.

It was the Snakes’ poisonous gas. In terms of toxicity only, it did not seem to be inferior to that of the Spiders at all.

Yuqi the Venerable One then ordered in a high spirit, “Let’s split into 2 groups and go!”

“The first group and come with me.” Mao Jianbi stood up straight and waved his hand. He chuckled and added, “It’ll be up to you how much we’ll be able to surprise them.”

Bear Li scoffed and responded, “Don’t worry, we’ll surely… Surprised the Insects enough!”

The first group of top-grade spirit beasts had smiles on their faces, which was evident that they had schemed something beforehand. As for the slightly unlucky powerhouses, which drew lots to be in the second group, they had dark faces and were quiet.

Mao Jianbi laughed out loud and expressed, “I’ll be your lookout. Let’s go!”

Following that, he soared into mid-air, where a flying carpet appeared beneath him and carried him away.

Below him, over 10 top-grade Spiritualists cursed internally, ‘You flashy thing!’

Nonetheless, they also coveted him because they hoped that they could make their appearance in the same way too.

Seeing as Mao Jianbi and the others left the Big Mountain-guarding Formation overbearingly, Ou Yangming was moved.

On the other side, the second group of top-grade Spiritualists, which included Immortal Fox, did not sit by idly. They either probed with their mental conceptions or used their vision to constantly evaluate the Insects’ combat power, allowing them to better think about how they should perform next.

Ou Yangming had told them that he would give flying carpets to 3 of them as gifts.

Since there would only be 3 flying carpets, their strengths, intelligence, and some luck would be tested for them to stand out among the rest.

The poisonous pill in Ou Yangming’s hand shook slightly. He could sense how eager the spirit inside was.

Even so, he would not get his turn to be in command.

Yuqi the Venerable One suddenly turned to look at the young fellow. “You only need to focus on smithing; you can’t join such a war.”

Immortal Fox and the others looked at Ou Yangming. They knew Yuqi the Venerable One was probably talking to the young fellow, but they still found it strange. ‘Does this little Intermediate Spiritualist, who can refine flying carpets, want to fight on the battlefield too?

‘Given this fella’s natural gift and performance in smithing art, no matter which sect he’s in, he won’t be allowed to join a war of such a scale.

‘If anything happens to him during the war, everyone from the sect will probably cry to their deaths.’

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and said, “Sir Venerable One, I’m not thinking about taking any risks.”

Yuqi the Venerable One noted, “You must remember what you said. If that’s the case, I’ll rest assured.”

The young fellow could fool everyone else, but he would be overconfident if he thought that he could act in front of Yuqi the Venerable One. After all, he wiped out a lizard’s nest without leaving any traces behind while 2 Venerable Ones were battling, making him the truly lawless one.

Yuqi the Venerable One would not think Ou Yangming would be appalled by a war of such a scale.

Sure enough, Ou Yangming did not leave even after some time. He voiced out with respect, “Sir Venerable One, I have a presumptuous request.”

“Go ahead.” Yuqi the Venerable One furrowed his eyebrows.

He had decided that he would meet Ou Yangming’s request if it was not difficult, but he would not do anything if it would affect his or the sect’s arrangements. Although the Venerable One would not imprison the young fellow, he would get some people to look after him strictly.

Who knew, Ou Yangming chuckled and stated, “Sir Venerable One, I see that poisonous gases are lingering up there. It won’t be good if you just let them be, right?”

Yuqi the Venerable One scoffed. “They’re poisonous fog from the Insects, and they’re so poisonous that one will be in big trouble if one comes into contact with even a bit of them. In fact, I’m not confident about getting rid of them completely.” He looked up and added, “I won’t allow you to go clear it up or do anything about it.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. “Senior, I don’t intend to get myself into danger but…” He turned his wrist and handed the Venerable One the poisonous pill. “This is a poisonous pill that I’ve been refining, and it might be useful. Please grant me the permission to place it outside the shield to see if it’ll be effective.”

“A poisonous pill?” Yuqi the Venerable One, Immortal Fox, and the others stared at it.

Upon seeing the pill in Ou Yangming’s hand, the formidable powerhouses somehow felt chills in their hearts.

This was because the color of the poisonous pill was slowly changing. Each time it did, it gave off a penetrating chill, causing the powerhouses to be wary.

“Master Ou, what poisonous pill is that?” Immortal Fox asked casually, but it was clear from its expression that it was extremely afraid of the item.

Ou Yangming grinned. The poisonous pill was obtained from a top-grade Spiritualist too. Moreover, after he entered the spiritual realm and allowed the poisonous pill to devour plenty of superb Plant Poisonous Pills, its toxicity became indescribably intense.

Back when several high-rank spirit beasts were poisoned by the poisonous pill’s slow poisonous gas, which burst at the end, they were slaughtered by Ou Yangming without being able to resist at all.

“It’s a poisonous pill that I stumbled upon by accident, and I’ve put in a lot of effort to cultivate it,” Ou Yangming answered with a faint smile. He touched the pill as if he was unwilling to let it go.

Immortal Fox could not help but laugh. “Master Ou, if you’ve heard about the Insects, I’m sure you’re aware of their strengths and weaknesses.”

Ou Yangming responded without any hesitation, “I’ve dealt with the Insects a few times, and the endings were always unhappy, so I know them quite well.”

Immortal Fox nodded and asked, “Master Ou, if that’s the case, why do you want to waste this poisonous pill? If you release it to the poisonous gas, it’ll likely be taken away by the Insects!”

“Unless the Venerable Ones make a move themselves, they’ll unlikely be able to touch my poisonous pill.” Ou Yangming smiled.

The spirit fox was dumbfounded. Seeing as the young fellow was so confident, it could not help but chuckle, and it stopped trying to persuade him.

Yuqi the Venerable One turned to look at the poisonous pill. “You won’t regret this?”

Ou Yangming answered seriously, “I won’t regret it, so please fulfill my request.”

He had sensed that the poisonous pill’s spirit was yearning for the 3 different-colored poisonous gases above them. It was pleading with all of its heart, hence the young fellow could not take it anymore. After all, the spirit was somewhat connected with his mental conception. Especially since it was going all out to beg him, he could not hold on any longer.

Yuqi the Venerable One pointed and instantly released a unique power, which carried the poisonous pill into mid-air.

“Ou Yangming, the poisonous gases outside are incredibly intense, so don’t be heartbroken if your poisonous pill shatters as soon as it goes out,” he noted.

If anyone else had made such a request, the Venerable One would have turned a deaf ear against it or simply ignored it. However, he hesitated for a while and agreed to it because Ou Yangming was the one that made such an odd request.

Of course, Yuqi the Venerable One would not deactivate the Big Mountain-guarding Formation; he only sent the poisonous pill out from a small corner.

Nobody paid attention to the poisonous pill because even the Venerable One did not think that it could affect the poisonous gases that filled the air.

Perhaps the poisonous pill would become more poisonous if it was released into the poisonous fog and absorbed its toxicity.

Nevertheless, how much could a small poisonous pill absorb? The amount absorbed would probably be insignificant and would not affect anything at all.

With that, the poisonous pill drifted in the air and finally left the Big Mountain-guarding Formation as it was sent outside the mountain.

This was only an unnoticeable interlude, thus even the 3 insect Venerable Ones, which were paying attention to the war situation at any time, did not spot it.

The poisonous pill was too small, so much so that nobody would pay attention to it.

Despite that, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up the moment the poisonous pill was sent outside the formation.

Through the connection between their mental conceptions, Ou Yangming’s conception seemed to have transformed into the poisonous pill’s spirit, where he could feel its every move.

A tiny black centipede emerged from the pill. It was not in flesh, but it was a spiritual body that was gathered from the power inside the pill.

The poisonous fog kept surging outside the shield and caused enormous destruction to the environment around it. Even though the fig still could not erode the formation nor could it cause substantial damage to the Beast King Sect’s territory, the mountains outside had turned dark. It was to the extent that even the ground was black, which was a ghastly sight.

Having said that, the little centipede that appeared from the poisonous pill was relatively delighted.

It lifted its head as though it wanted to shout with joy.

At that moment, Ou Yangming sent it a message through his conception. After all, it would be courting its death if it yelled as it wished under the noses of a few Venerable Ones.

For the sake of the bigger plan, the centipede should benefit secretly and keep a low profile to not attract any attention.

As such, the centipede tried its best to exist in moderation, by which it crawled to the ground without a sound and planted its legs inside.

Next, drastic changes happened to its legs, which seemed to have turned into transparent straws while black substances were sucked into its body without an end.

Consequently, the poisonous bill slowly became black yet bright.
