Immortal Path to Heaven
chapter-1266

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Half a month’s time in the outside world was equivalent to 4 to 5 years in the Enlightenment Pavilion.

The results from these 4 to 5 years were obvious. The strengths of the people cultivating in the Enlightenment Pavilion had increased by leaps and bounds.

With the help of the medicinal pills, everyone quickly broke through to become Rulers and began to comprehend the laws. In these few years, everyone had reached Ou Yangming’s requirements.

The law boundary.

Although they did not have much actual combat experience, it was still easy to rely on the strength of the law boundary to destroy a Ruler. This kind of strength was already quite good.

Big Yellow had also broken through to the second step not long ago. His earth-mastery law was even more solid. Originally, he wanted to go out and show off to Lil’ Red. He did not expect Ou Yangming to tell him that Lil’ Red had broken through to the second step long ago. He was already one step behind.

Compared to the others who had advanced by leaps and bounds, Ou Yangming did not make much progress. The main reason was that his strength had reached a bottleneck. If he could not break through this bottleneck, no matter how much time he had, it would just be a waste.

Nonetheless, it was not like he did not have any gains during the few years in the Enlightenment Pavilion.

Ou Yangming’s understanding of the law of time became even deeper. Moreover, he had forcefully deduced the power of the law of space, which had been stuck at the initial stage, to the second stage. As for his strength, there was no qualitative improvement, but it could be considered pretty good. If he was not in the pavilion, this process might have been very long.

The scene suddenly changed. Ou Yangming kept the pavilion, and everyone returned to the poisonous pill’s world again.

Their faces were filled with nostalgia. Increasing their strengths was addictive.

Ou Yangming looked at the changes in everyone’s strength and said with satisfaction, “Alright, your strengths are enough. We can go to the Great Wide World now.”

‘The Great Wide World.’ At the mention of this name, everyone’s hearts were burning with passion.

Most of them had never seen what the Great Wide World looked like.

“Let’s go.” Ou Yangming waved his hand and in an instant, everyone disappeared.

“What dense spiritual Qi. Is this the Great Wide World?” In the courtyard that the Phoenixes had prepared for Ou Yangming, the old man took a deep breath.

“That’s right. The spiritual Qi in the blessed lands of the Spiritual Realm is more than 10 times lesser from here. This place is simply a paradise for cultivators.” Bai Shixue looked around in surprise.

The Yangming Chamber of Commerce had a huge influence in the Spiritual Realm, and they also occupied some of the spiritual veins. Nonetheless, those places were nothing compared to this place.

“The only bad thing is that the temperature is a little high here. This is a problem. If it were me in the past, my body probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. The Great Wide World is truly a paradise for the strong. The weak don’t even have the right to survive.” Wu Hanning’s observation perspective was different from the others.

Hearing their words, Ou Yangming held back his laughter and said, “The Great Wide World isn’t like what you said. This is the Phoenixes’ headquarters, the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain. This place is naturally full of spiritual Qi, and the temperature must be far higher than in other places. The other places in the Great Wide World aren’t like this.”

‘The Phoenixes.’ Everyone was startled. They were actually in the Phoenixes’ territory. No wonder this place was so hot.

Old Man asked, “What are the other places in the Great Wide World like then?”

“The Great Wide World and the Spiritual Realm aren’t actually that different. It’s just that the area here is very large. Any slightly larger planet can compare to the Spiritual Realm. Besides, there are many powerhouses in the Great Wide World, and there are countless dangerous secret realms. Compared to the Spiritual Realm, it’s probably more difficult to survive here.” Ou Yangming thought for a moment before explaining.

Ou Yangming did not say much about this problem. After living here for a few months, they would be clear about it.

After solving the problem with the goshawk and the king kong, Ou Yangming also pushed open the courtyard’s door. It was time to leave this place.

“Lord Ou.”

Outside the gate, 2 phoenix guards stood guard. They had been dozing off but when they saw Ou Yangming walking out of the courtyard, their spirits were immediately lifted.

He was an existence on the same level as their great ancestor. The eyes of the 2 guards were shining.

These days, Ou Yangming’s deeds of wreaking havoc in the Phoenixes’ headquarters had been widely spread in the nearby star fields.

Given that there were so many phoenix members, someone would eventually spill the beans.

This was a huge matter. The Phoenixes, one of the 3 great races of the Great Wide World, had actually been directly attacked by someone, and 2 of their powerhouses had even been killed.

It was also said that that person had fought with the Phoenixes’ great ancestor without suffering any injuries.

The more the news spread, the more godly it sounded. In just half a month, many people had learned about it. Many large sects even sent their disciples to investigate the truth of this matter. After all, such a formidable powerhouse had appeared, hence those first-rate sects and top sects did not dare to be careless. If they accidentally angered this terrifying existence, the consequences would be unbearable.

As for the Phoenixes, they did not think of deliberately hiding the truth. After all, Ou Yangming and the Phoenixes had reconciled. If they tried to hide the truth, it would seem like they were hiding something.

The Phoenixes explained the reason and said that it was a misunderstanding. Both sides had made up.

This undoubtedly confirmed that the news was real. Those people were even more curious. After asking around, they finally found out about the mysterious expert.

His name was Ou Yangming.

There were not many people in remote places who knew this name, but it had long been recorded in the records of the large sects.

He was the dark horse with the most points in the Ancient Demons’ ruins!

Was he not the mysterious 999th powerhouse on the board?

The name Ou Yangming was common, and this powerhouse had once suppressed the master of the Heavenly Star Mansion. There were even rumors that he had killed a Demon King in the ruins with the cooperation of the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader.

A Demon King was an existence in the third step. Even if Ou Yangming was not in the third step at that time, he would have reached the peak of the second step.

“This is a new mighty powerhouse in the third step.”

As the 2 identities merged, everyone no longer had any doubts in their hearts. It was worth noting that strong powerhouses in the third step all had their titles. Ou Yangming did not spread his title, but everyone tacitly called him Ruler Ming when they passed on the news.

Ou Yangming did not know that while he was cultivating in the Enlightenment Pavilion, many legends about him had spread outside. He even gained a title.

Knowing that Ou Yangming was going to leave, the Phoenixes’ great ancestor hurriedly prepared a banquet and invited him and the others to attend.

Ou Yangming did not refuse. He nodded and agreed. A banquet would not delay his time for long. It would be considered an apology from the Phoenixes.

Also, he had something to tell the great ancestor. He could not hide the Immortal Path to Heaven anymore. Since they had reconciled, there was no need for him to hide it.

The old man and the others were still a little nervous when they finally arrived at the Great Wide World for the first time. When they saw the respectful expressions of the phoenix members, they felt quite embarrassed.

On the table, after a few cups of liquor, the atmosphere gradually stirred up.

Ou Yangming sat next to the great ancestor. After a full meal, he pondered for a moment and asked, “During this period, have you noticed any change in the Great Wide World, Great Ancestor?”

This question was directed to the Phoenixes’ great ancestor. At his level, he should be able to feel some changes in the universe.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor did not understand why Ou Yangming asked this question. He hesitated for a moment and answered, “I did sense some changes. A few days ago, when I was in a closed-door cultivation, I suddenly felt a sense of alarm. I felt as if a great disaster was coming. The feeling was very bad.”

He looked at Ou Yangming and added, “I originally thought that this great disaster was related to you but now that we’ve resolved our differences, the feeling still hasn’t dissipated. I don’t know the reason.”

Hearing these words, everyone present became nervous.

The great ancestor was the most powerful existence of the Phoenixes. If he sensed danger, it was definitely not groundless.

‘Great Ancestor, have you ever heard of the Immortal Path to Heaven?’

Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the great ancestor. He secretly transmitted his voice and did not let the others know this secret.

“Thud…”

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor’s arm shook, and the pot of liquor beside him fell to the ground. His eyes widened in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, Ou Yangming understood. It seemed that the great ancestor must know about it.

Ou Yangming continued, ‘If I’m not wrong, in the next 2 to 3 years, the Immortal Path to Heaven will appear in the Great Wide World. The great calamity is coming. Great Ancestor, it’s better to plan ahead.’

‘Is this news reliable?’ The great ancestor’s expression had never been more serious.

‘It should be,’ Ou Yangming transmitted his voice, ‘I received this news from a third-step powerhouse from the Third World. His purpose in coming to this world is to prepare for the opening of the Immortal Path to Heaven.’

‘A powerhouse from the Third World?’ The great ancestor’s expression changed slightly.

If it was not a special moment, people from other worlds would not have come to the Great Wide World. After all, it was not an easy thing to pass through the world’s barriers. Not only was it extremely dangerous, but it also required a huge price.

‘I got it. Thank you for informing me. I still need to inform the Dragons and the Humans about this matter. This is the crisis of the Great Wide World. The other worlds are only here to fish in troubled waters. They can leave at any time, but all of us here can’t stay out of it.’

Ou Yangming slightly frowned. ‘I’ll go to the Zhenwu Continent soon, so I’ll inform the Humans. As for the Dragons, I don’t have a way to communicate with them.’

Although Ou Yangming had a good relationship with the Dragons, other than possessing the Honorary Elder’s token, he really did not know how to contact the Dragons. The 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain and the 10,000 Dragons Valley were very far away, so he could not make a trip there personally.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor was silent for a moment, then he said, “We don’t have a good relationship with the Dragons, but we still have a way to contact them. Just leave it to me to inform them.”

In the face of a great disaster, any conflicts did not matter.

After 2 years, the great calamity was coming. The beings in the Great Wide World would not only have to face the world-destroying calamity from the universe but also had to fight for a slim chance of survival from the siege of several worlds.

For other worlds, obtaining a divine spark meant that their strength had increased, and it meant that they could protect their disciples when the calamity of their worlds arrived. On the other hand, for the beings of the Great Wide World, obtaining a divine spark was not only a display of their strengths but more importantly, it was the hope for their survival and the survival of their race.

‘No wonder there has been so much strange news recently.’ The great ancestor suddenly thought of something and said in a low voice.
