Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 829 - King Kong’s Mightiness

Chapter 829: King Kong’s Mightiness

Once it was winter, heavy snow kept falling without breaks in between.
Inside a pavilion that was built near a precipice at the 10,000 Beasts Sect, dim lights were seen swaying gently.
Below was the Wanzhang Precipice, where the Tianlan River from more than 3 kilometers away could be seen flowing slowly and calmly without undulating. Ou Yangming sighed and remarked, “Humans are like this surging river, where the water doesn’t get to choose anymore once it flows from a stream into a big river. It’ll only be pushed forward by the waves, and its flowing speed will be decided by the topography. It can’t do as it wishes anymore…”
Wu Hanning sat by the window and supported her chin with her hands. As she lifted her smooth black hair, her enchanting collar bones were revealed. She chuckled like a fallen angel, such that every move she made looked perfect. The young lady responded, “That’s not necessarily the case…”
Without saying anything further, Ou Yangming looked away from the river and turned to look at Wu Hanning’s fair face. “Where are they?”
Wu Hanning was not mad at all. She withdrew one hand from her chin and answered with a smile, “They’re establishing the store in full swing!”
Ou Yangming looked confident as he asked, “Have people from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion come?”
“Yes, they came!” Wu Hanning nodded slightly.
She stood up and retrieved a great-colored ink stick from a small grid on a wooden cabinet, then she noted softly, “When a person grinds an ink stick, the ink stick polishes the person. One must remain calm as it’s a process that tempers one’s heart.” Following that, Wu Hanning added some clear water to the ink slab—not too much, not too little. Accompanied by a yellow light, her force was moderate and perpendicular, causing a grinding sound between the inkstone and the slab to be heard. The young lady was neither fast nor slow, similar to how she was neither arrogant nor impetuous. After some time, a fragrant ink smell filled the study room.
Wu Hanning dipped a brush into the ink slightly, then she confidently made strokes to write the word “path” on the ancient scroll in one go. The brush tip seemed to carry a spirit’s power as it was extremely solid.
Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Great word!”
The young lady smiled craftily like a fox. “I can teach you if you’d like to learn, but this is patient work and can’t be rushed.”
At the spur of the moment, a light stream whistled across the sky. A muscular man turned into a horse that flew from the sky. While being clothed in grey, his muscles bulged like horned dragons and carried explosive powers.
All of a sudden, the air in front of the man kept compressing and exploded, causing him to almost fall to the ground. He looked around and sighed a breath of relief after he confirmed that nobody was around, then he sighed and thought, ‘This power’s too strong, and I’m still not used to it yet. Luckily, Master didn’t see me.’
Before long, slow knocks were heard at the door.
Wu Hanning put down her brush and chuckled. “Coming!”
Once the door was opened, the big man was seen touching his head while he shouted, “Master!” His voice carried spiritual power that directly stirred up a strong wind.
Ou Yangming was clearly stunned. He exclaimed, “You’re Multi-armed King Kong?”
The big man touched his head again and answered, “Yes.”
Ou Yangming lamented. He shook his head and asked, “You’ve learned the Changing Art?”
Multi-armed King Kong nodded. “Once I become a Venerable One, I’m able to change my body size. Besides, the art isn’t difficult to learn at all. I mainly spent over a month to stabilize my boundary, which is why I’ve only come to visit now.”
Ou Yangming nodded. The scene where Li Xin and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One fought previously was still vivid to him. Back when the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One revealed its true body while Li Xin also transformed into a giant red figure, he was deeply shocked.
He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go and see how powerful you’ve become after advancing into a Venerable One.”
With that, he informed Wu Hanning and left.
Wu Hanning did not say a word. She picked up the brush again and continued to practice calligraphy.
Ou Yangming, the goshawk, and Multi-armed King Kong arrived by the Tianlan River. The river was clear with slight ripples, but it was exceedingly cold. It was worth noting that the big river flowed across Danzhou and Zhangzhou. Nobody knew where it was stretched until, but the water flowed all year long without being frozen. Even if it was summer, the river was still incredibly cold, and it was a mystery that had not been solved.
The young fellow tossed a stone into the river, causing countless water droplets to splash up. Numerous light rings then overlapped and reverberated.
Ou Yangming was deeply smoothed when he saw this. When he worked as a helper under Old Craftsman in the lower realm, apart from peeping at the soldiers practicing martial arts, he could only entertain himself. The young fellow liked to throw stones into the water tank that was meant to quench the fire for military sabers. Whenever there were ripples, he would reach out to break them but would always be caught by the old man and beaten up by him. Even so, Ou Yangming enjoyed it. He was too bored from being by himself. Only when he obtained the Military Fire and was pressured by Zhang Yinfan, he began to focus on cultivation.
Seeing as the rippling water was slowly going back to normal, Ou Yangming looked away from the river and instructed softly, “Multi-armed King Kong, exert all your force and punch at the river.”
Multi-armed King Kong was puzzled, but it did not ask any questions. The spiritual Qi inside its dantian seemed to have turned into colorful smoke as it flowed along its meridians, causing its muscles to expand. A forceful momentum was released while a green ripple could be seen in each of its eyes. At last, when the momentum suddenly gathered, the spirit beasts within several kilometers quivered. This was a Venerable One, where a casual hit could resonate with the universe.
A Spiritualist could communicate with the universe, but a Venerable One could resonate with the universe and borrow its power for one’s own.
Multi-armed King Kong scoffed, causing the accumulated snow around it to be stirred up into the sky. A black light seemed to be lingering around its fist, and “buzzing” sounds were heard as the air within about 33 meters from it became distorted. The king kong’s vigor became one, then it punched at the river.
“Boom…”
Heaven and Earth rumbled. The roughly 333-meters-wide Tianlan River seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt.
A water vortex suddenly appeared and kept spreading. As a result, stones that were covered in aquatics could be seen at the river bottom. The big river’s water seemed to have been cut off by an invisible air wall at the moment.
The vortex became a critical point where the upstream and downstream were completely cut off as though the river had been frozen. Multi-armed King Kong’s punch was able to break a river. Concurrently, innumerable arm-sized water pillars shot out in all directions. They broke the pine trees on the cliff by the river, thus branches and snow began to fall. A Venerable One’s mightiness was clear to see at this point.
The peculiar scene lasted for 10 whole breaths. Upon witnessing what happened, the goshawk gasped and had a complicated look on its phase. Back when it encountered Multi-armed King Kong in the lower realm, the king kong was only slightly more powerful than it. Now, there was a greater disparity between them as if a natural moat came in between them. As such, the goshawk felt upset.
When all of the waves went back to normal, Multi-armed King Kong leaped toward Ou Yangming and sighed. “I can only do this much now, but my power will increase by 20% if I reveal my true body.”
Ou Yangming looked at the river and commented, “You’ve benefited significantly from the 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts.”
He then looked at the goshawk and asked, “Goshawk, what do you think!”
The goshawk sighed and inhaled water mist in the air. It was fearful when it recalled the scene earlier, but it quickly answered, “Venerable Ones can only be resisted by Venerable Ones. They have too much of an advantage as they can borrow the universe’s power for their own. Moreover, I feel that while Multi-armed has just stabilized its boundary, its strength is probably at the early stage of a peak Venerable One already.”
A Rudimentary Venerable One and a rudimentary top-grade Venerable One might not sound far apart, but they were in the Venerable One’s boundary!
Ou Yangming nodded. “Yes, the Heavenly Disaster’s dangerous, but the more the Heavenly Thunderbolts that one overcomes, the more one will benefit.”
After taking a breath, he continued, “You don’t need to be dispirited. As long as you become a top-grade Spiritualist, I’ll naturally prepare Earthly Formation Boards and a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit for you too.”
The goshawk’s eyes lit up. It did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. Although it knew its master would definitely not cast it aside if it became a top-grade Spiritualist, it was still anxious. Now that the goshawk had Ou Yangming’s word, it almost wanted to cry. With the help of the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and Earthly Formation Boards, if it still ended up being killed by the Heavenly Disaster, it would only mean that it was still lacking.
Seeing as he had achieved the result that he wanted, Ou Yangming no longer said anything else.
He shifted his gaze back to Multi-armed King Kong and instructed, “Absorb the universe’s spiritual Qi with all your might.”
Multi-armed King Kong had long obeyed Ou Yangming, hence it inhaled and exhaled without any hesitation. At that instant, all of the spiritual Qi within about 333 meters from it whistled sharply. Subsequently, visible air flows gathered from all directions and spun quickly to form numerous vortexes. Consequently, the accumulated snow on the ground was stirred up while snowflakes flew everywhere. The young fellow was greeted with a white view in front of him, but none of the snowflakes landed on him.
Furthermore, Multi-armed King Kong seemed to have become an inseparable part of the universe as it fused with the snow, the forest, and the river. It seemed like the universe would be incomplete without the king kong, but this magical feeling could not be put into words. This was how a Venerable One was like.
The goshawk had a complicated look in its eyes. From the moment when Multi-armed King Kong began to breathe, it completely lost the king kong’s aura as if it had disappeared from the universe. However, the king kong was right in front of the goshawk, and it was stirring all of the spiritual Qi within roughly 333 meters from it.
Amidst the blizzard, Ou Yangming nodded when he saw what happened. After a breath moment, he uttered softly, “Alright, you may disperse!” The young fellow had gained a clear understanding of Multi-armed King Kong’s power at the moment. He had not been in the Spiritual Realm for long, but he had met plenty of powerhouses such as Master Kurong, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One…
In fact, based on his fight against Li Xin, he could already identify Multi-armed King Kong’s level at this point. In a way, the king kong was much superior to ordinary Venerable Ones. Putting aside its natural gift, the key was that it conquered 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts.
When the flying snowflakes went away, the messy spiritual Qi in the air slowly went back to normal.
Multi-armed King Kong paced toward Ou Yangming.
Without warning, a purple light spot suddenly appeared in Ou Yangming’s spiritual world. His Heavenly Phoenix Fire burned intensely as well as he sensed a huge crisis.
He looked coldly at the sky and shouted, “Who’s that? Get you *ss out here now!”
