Jalan Abadi ke Surga - Chapter 761 - Trap

A shadow flew past in the sky and shuttled between endless clouds as it headed firmly in a certain direction.

After flying for a long time, it finally stopped in the air above a certain spot.

It was a massive flying carpet. Although it was not as humongous as Mount Wuzhi’s Magic Cloud, it was the largest flying carpet that had just been refined by Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming’s status had imperceptibly improved ever since he successfully refined Eternal Pills. Sect Elder Gu Jiacheng might be the one that put forth his effort, but his gratitude toward the young fellow did not lessen after the pills were refined. This was because the sect elder was the first person that consumed one of the Eternal Pills and benefited from it.

Gu Jiacheng presented top-grade spirit beast’s fur, which he had collected, to thank Ou Yangming.

The sheet of fur had been perfectly dressed and preserved.

Ou Yangming was moved the moment he saw it. Even though he still possessed the 10,000-legged Venerable One’s carcass, it had been cut into many sections, which were still extremely useful but were no longer pleasant to the eye.

With that, Ou Yangming stayed in the Beast King Sect for a few more days. After refining the top-grade spirit beast’s fur into an enormous flying carpet, he soared into the sky with the old macaque and headed to the secret realm.

He needed to obtain more sections of the Phoenix Fire Bamboo to refine more Eternal Pills.

It would also be dangerous to consume an Eternal Pill, where one might be killed if one’s willpower was not strong enough. Nonetheless, real powerhouses would still go after the pills like a flock of ducks.

As for Ou Yangming and the Beast King Sect, they could obtain more and better resources by using Eternal Pills.

While the flying carpet floated in mid-air, Ou Yangming and the old macaque looked down with bright eyes. Everything on the ground was visible to them.

After a brief moment, the old macaque nodded. “Master Ou, that fella has probably left long ago.”

They were being so careful because they were afraid of Blood Shadow. The old macaque and Yuqi the Venerable One thought that as bold as Blood Shadow was, he would not lie in ambush here for a long time. Even so, Ou Yangming had become too important to the Beast King Sect, hence they dared not be careless at all.

Ou Yangming scanned the area but could not find any trace of Blood Shadow as well. He took a deep breath and released his mental conception, but neither the Military Fire nor the giant head was agitated. The young fellow finally confirmed that there was no fatal danger below them.

He sighed a breath of relief and said, “He probably left.”

When he spoke, he did not know if he was actually disappointed or relieved.

Needless to say, he did not want to encounter a powerful enemy like Blood Shadow anymore. No matter who it would be, he would feel ill at ease if such an enemy was lurking in the dark.

Nevertheless, deep down he was also thinking about borrowing the Beast King Sect’s power to take down Blood Shadow.

Ou Yangming shook his head and cast aside his inner conflict.

He controlled the flying carpet to slowly descend to the ground. Just as they were close to the ground, he suddenly asked, “Senior, has the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One come?”

The old macaque beamed and answered, “Don’t worry, it’ll come when it should.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. ‘You might as well not answer me at all.’

Since it was clear that the old macaque did not want to give an apparent answer, Ou Yangming could not force it.

He shrugged and controlled the flying carpet to land steadily, then he waved his hand to put it away.

The old macaque watched with envy. It was also a formidable Venerable One that could fly on its own, but it was every powerhouse’s dream to possess a flying carpet, especially such an eye-catching one.

It curbed its thought and asked, “Master Ou, where’s the secret realm’s entrance that you were talking about?”

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while before he responded, “Elder Macaque, it’s right ahead.”

Upon noticing the look on his face, the old macaque could not help but laugh and comforted him, “Master Ou, don’t worry, we’ve told you that the secret realm belongs to you, so we won’t lay a finger on it at all.” It later thought to itself, ‘No matter what’s inside this secret realm, it can’t be as valuable as you.’

Putting aside Ou Yangming’s identity as the Phoenixes’ messenger, the flying carpet, the Eternal Pills, and his level of attainment in smithing art were enough to make the Beast King Sect protect him at all costs.

Ou Yangming chuckled. “Thank you, senior.”

Honestly, he was not too worried because the secret realm’s entrance could be shifted, but the Wutong Tree would suffer certain loss each time it was moved. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not make that choice.

Ou Yangming and the old macaque walked one after another. They did not notice any danger, but they did not relax at all. In particular, the old macaque seemed to be smiling with squinted eyes, but it quickly scanned its surroundings with its sharp eyes from time to time and pricked up its ears, thus even the slightest movement could not hide from it.

After walking for a short while, Ou Yangming suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a strange look on his face.

The old macaque tensed up a little, and it looked in front as well.

A mountain wall could be seen not far ahead, and a faint light could be seen flickering on it.

Given the powerhouse that the old macaque was, it could tell in one glance that the light was definitely related to an Interspatial Secret Technique. It laughed and asked, “Master Ou, the secret realm’s entrance is actually here, but it can be spotted too easily. Hehe, why don’t we construct a building around it to cover it?”

Who knew, Ou Yangming had a weird look in his eyes. He stopped and slowly straightened his body as he released an intense killing intent.

He was being fully on guard, but the old macaque was puzzled because they had not found any trace of an enemy thus far.

The old macaque looked around it and questioned seriously, “Master Ou, what’s the matter?”

“Watch out!” Ou Yangming uttered in a deep voice, “This isn’t my secret realm’s entrance.”

“What?”

“This secret realm’s entrance is fake. We’re trapped inside a formation,” Ou Yangming explained.

The old macaque was dumbfounded, and it checked its surroundings. Without Ou Yangming’s reminder, it might not have noticed at all. After observing closely, it finally noticed something unusual in the space around them.

It scoffed and stomped its foot angrily, causing a forceful energy fluctuation to spread in all directions with it as the center.

The old macaque was a legitimate Venerable One. It was old and far less capable than it was during its prime of life, but its strength should still not be underestimated if it suddenly burst out.

Even if the old macaque was only releasing its power to probe its surroundings, the power was still earth-shattering.

Despite that, when the power spread toward the periphery, it did not cause much destruction to the environment around them. The visible ripple attacks kept spreading in all directions, but they did not destroy anything when they spread.

“Formation map—an Illusion Formation Map.” The old macaque’s eyes were cold. It asked the young fellow, “Master Ou, how did you notice it?”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and answered, “I’ve studied similar formation maps before this, so I gained some knowledge about them. That said, the person that set up this formation map has a higher level of attainment than me, so I only spotted it when I saw the fake secret realm’s entrance.”

The old macaque glanced at Ou Yangming. It did not know what it should think.

‘How old is this young fella? Not only has he become an Intermediate Spiritualist, but he’s also a true smithing master. Now, he’s telling me that he had also studied formation maps cursorily.

‘This young fella… How exactly did he learn?’

At this point, the old macaque changed its point of view on Ou Yangming once more. If the young fellow told it that he had also learned alchemy, it would probably believe him too.

“Hmph, this small Illusion Formation isn’t much.” The old macaque stepped forward to Ou Yangming’s side and struck its chest. “I’m here.”

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Yes, thanks for the trouble, senior.”

Without the old macaque, the young fellow would naturally have to think of ways to save himself. Now that the macaque was present, and the potent 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was hiding somewhere, there was no need for him to worry at all.

The old macaque scanned its surroundings with bright eyes and finally fixed its gaze on the secret realm’s entrance.

Around here, the entrance was the only place that seemed like the formation’s core.

The macaque flashed and grunted as it lunged toward the secret realm’s entrance, then it waved its giant fist hard.

“Boom…”

Consequently, the old macaque’s power as a Venerable One was unleashed. The power was limited under the macaque’s control, but its mightiness was so fearsome that it was clear to see.

The secret realm’s entrance instantly exploded after it suffered such a violent hit.

Dense fog was released from that spot, and it spread right away.

The secret realm’s entrance was similar to a gigantic pass that sealed endless dense fog. Once the pass exploded, all of the fog that was hidden inside gushed out uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this, the old macaque frowned and spun quickly, stirring up a tornado on the spot. The fog kept gathering around it due to the airflow. When the extended its arm and waved at the sky, surging energy rose into the sky along with the endless fog.

While this could not drive away all of the fog, most of it was dispersed in a split second.

This was due to the old macaque’s rich experience. No matter how treacherous the situation was, it could find a solution in the blink of an eye.

“Master Ou, this is just a small trouble…” The old macaque paused all of a sudden. It was horrified, and it could not help but widen its eyes in disbelief when it turned to look.

The spot where Ou Yangming was standing was now… Empty!
