Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 326 - A Chance To Go Beyond Heaven

Chapter 326 A Chance To Go Beyond Heaven
The elder finally looked surprised. “You want to give it to me?”
“Yes.” Ou Yangming explained seriously, “I couldn’t repay you for your guidance earlier, so I’m giving this to you as a gift and to settle the karmic account.”
“Hehe, but I didn’t give you any guidance.” The elder turned his wrist to deliver the interspatial bag back to Ou Yangming, then he put his hands behind the back and noted proudly, “You contributed to the birth of 26 Supreme Great Ancestors for the Humans, whereas my help was nothing as compared to that.”
Ou Yangming commented in a deep voice, “Perhaps it was as easy as lifting a finger for you, but I was very enlightened, and I benefited a lot from it.”
There was a fundamental change in Ou Yangming’s mental state ever since he experienced sudden wind and rain. He turned over a new leaf, and nothing he did would be too much for him to repay the favor.
Ou Yangming picked up the interspatial bag and expressed sincerely, “Senior, please kindly accept it.”
The elder looked deeply at him and asked, “Young fella, do you know how precious an interspatial bag is?”
“I consider myself to be quite experienced, but I’ve rarely come across interspatial bags, so I’m aware of how valuable it is,” Ou Yangming responded with a smile.
In actuality, Ou Yangming had only seen an interspatial bag once from Wu Hanning. Apart from Her Royal Highness, even He Liangce and Zuoqiu Hongyuan did not possess one.
Needless to say, Wu Hanning’s interspatial bag was not the only one in the world, but Ou Yangming had not seen the other bags.
“You don’t know how precious it is at all.” The elder sighed. When he reached out to take the bag, he uttered slowly, “You’re the only blacksmith in our world who can refine an interspatial bag.” “What?” Ou Yangming looked up in shock as he was confused.
The elder laughed and asked, “Are you going to ask where Hanning’s interspatial bag is from?”
“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded and questioned, “It couldn’t have fallen from the sky, could it?”
However, the elder had a strange look on his face as he replied Ou Yangming, “You guessed it right; that interspatial bag came from beyond Heaven.”
‘Can you converse with me properly? Beyond Heaven? Don’t think…’ Ou Yangming widened his eyes and almost roared on the spot. He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows because he thought about many things.
The Ni family from the outside of this world, the peculiar stones that were not from this world but could be used to smith magic tools, as well as the spirit beast that would come once in a century.
Ou Yangming did not know much about this world. Perhaps there was a greater secret behind it.
“Interspatial bags and superb magic tools are divine items, and they can only be bestowed by Heaven.” The elder sighed when he saw the strange look on Ou Yangming’s face, and he also cast a weird look at the young fellow. “I know you’re able to smith magic tools, but the imperial family can also gather many masters to smith low-ranked magic tools. As for interspatial bags…”
Ou Yangming stammered and felt that the back of his tongue was bitter.
When he saw Wu Hanning’s interspatial bag, he knew it was exquisite but thought there were a number of them in this world.
He only realized he made a huge mistake after he heard the elder’s statement.
All of a sudden, even he did not know how he could explain himself. He thought, ‘That crystal ball caused me a lot of trouble…’
Although the crystal ball stored information about the refinement of an interspatial bag, thousands and ten thousands of composite rune combinations were recorded inside.
Honestly, for a low-grade interspatial bag, which could be formed with only ten rune combinations, it was only natural that it was not associated with the word “valuable”. Therefore, Ou Yangming did not attach much importance to it.
Nonetheless, when the elder stared at him at the moment, he realized that he was completely mistaken.
The elder reached out his hand to gently pat on Ou Yangming’s shoulder, which was a friendly encouragement from a senior to a junior. Nevertheless, the young fellow felt helpless.
He believed that the elder knew he had helped 26 powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade to become Supreme Great Ancestors.
Even so, the elder was neither hostile nor friendly toward Ou Yangming. Even though the elder gave him a rather memorable lesson and impression by helping him in the end, according to what the old man said, it was a reward for helping to increase the Humans’ overall strength.
Other than that, the elder did not treat him with special respect.
It was different now because Ou Yangming could sense an intense friendliness from the elder, especially the elder’s eyes, which was filled with so much affection that the young fellow almost melted.
“Young fella, your name is Ou Yangming, right? I’m Wu Yuanwei, and you may call me…” The elder said with a smile but hesitated before he continued, “The Wu family has many ladies, and you can decide what you’ll address me as after you meet all of them.”
Ou Yangming’s eyebrows twitched, and he quickly closed his mouth.
‘Why does this old man like to matchmake people like His Majesty does…’ “Senior, to be honest, I already have someone in my heart, and I’ve pledged to marry her,” he immediately responded and thought, ‘Elder Sister Ying, I’m sorry. I don’t want to keep using you as an excuse, but I’m left with no choice.
“It’s just a promise, so it isn’t much.” Wu Yuanwei laughed out loud and added, “You’re unusually gifted in the path of interspatial smithing, and you have a bright future. Hehe, if you become a member of our family…” Seeing as Ou Yangming’s face changed when he said that, the elder changed his choice of words. “If you tie the knot with someone from the Wu family, I’ll grant you a spot to go beyond Heaven.”
“A spot to go beyond Heaven?” Ou Yangming was stunned, and an unbelievable thought crossed his mind. “Senior, can you… Go beyond Heaven?”
Wu Yuanfei answered with a serious face, “I might not necessarily be able to do it, but you definitely can!” “It’s impossible!” Ou Yangming looked up at the sky. They were in the secret realm, but the sky seemed unreachable too.
“Why is it impossible? Since things can come from outside of this world, why can’t we go beyond the sky?” Wu Yuanfei chuckled and smiled faintly, “Since you’re aware of the Humans’ catastrophe, do you know the exact origin of the calamity of the eight counties?”
Ou Yangming turned pale as he answered, “Beyond Heaven…”
“That’s right. Since they can come, why can’t we go over?” Wu Yuanwei asked.
The young fellow’s expression kept changing, and he did not know how to answer the elder.
In actual fact, it was not that he never considered the question, but he was unwilling to ponder it in depth because of certain concerns. That said, numerous thoughts filled his mind after Wu Yuanwei brought up the matter.
“One can only live for 200 years even if one cultivates to the boundary I’m in, but if one can go beyond this world, hehe…” Wu Yuanwei noted. The look in his eyes was unpredictable as he said, “One will be the master of his own life!”
Ou Yangming’s heart skipped a beat because the elder’s words hit his soft spot.
“Senior, how can we achieve that?” “If you’re willing to marry someone from the Wu family, I’ll report to the array of ancestors in the upper realm to grant you a chance to go beyond Heaven.” Wu Yuanwei curled his lips into a smile and continued to tempt the young fellow after some thought. “The Wu family is one of the renowned families in the upper realm. If you have someone’s guidance, you’ll have a promising future!”
Ou Yangming took a deep breath and suppressed his feelings. “I understand. Thank you for your admiration, senior.”
The sharp-eyed Wu Yuanwei frowned and asked, “Since you understand, why did you brush me off like that?”
“Elder Sister Ying and I are in love with each other. We’ve decided to marry each other, so we’ll never go back on our word. I was truly moved by your suggestion, but I mustn’t agree to it no matter what.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.
“Oh?” Wu Yuanwei looked at him and asked, “How exactly charming is that lady to be able to make you fall head over heels for her?”
Ou Yangming was joyful when he thought about Ni Yinghong. “Elder Sister Ying is Elder Sister Ying, and she’s unique…”
Wu Yuanwei pondered and raised another question, “Now that you’re aware of the interspatial bag’s value, are you still willing to give it to me?” Ou Yangming smiled proudly and replied to the elder without any hesitation, “Senior, you really misjudged me.”
“Okay. If that’s the case, I’ll politely accept it.” Wu Yuanwei laughed and accepted the interspatial bag, then he asked, “I noticed it was quite strenuous for you to refine the interspatial bag. How confident are you about smithing one?”
‘I’m 100% sure I’ll succeed with the Military Fire’s help,’ Ou Yangming said to himself but answered, “I was considered lucky to have succeeded during my first attempt, but if I leave this secret realm, my success rate will likely be around 20% at most.”
“20%? That’s quite amazing!” Wu Yuanwei sighed. “The Wu family’s depot has several treasures that are suitable for the refinement of interspatial bags. How about you refine them for me too? I’ll set a one-in-ten criterion for you, so what do you think?”
Ou Yangming frowned. “Senior, do you think so highly of me? I was honestly just lucky to have succeeded just now!”
Wu Yuanwei could not help but laugh. “It makes sense that you succeeded by luck; I’ll only find it strange if you succeed every time. Ah… But since I’d like to gain more interspatial bags, this is my only option.” Given that Ou Yangming was the only person who could refine interspatial bags in this world, Wu Yuanwei would bite the bullet by accepting a one-in-hundred opportunity, let alone a 20% chance.
Ou Yangming grinned. He had a hunch that he would soon be busy in the following days.
