Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 121

Chapter 121 The Chaos Cave

An obscure and orange autumn moon was probably the most adorable thing. It hung low in the velvety sky while emitting a mysterious yet mighty power.

The power was released to every corner in the world. Through the eyes of an ordinary person, the moonlight was just light for illumination that had no other purpose. However, when one's mental power detached from one's body on a silent night as such, one would realize that the moon's l.u.s.ter was an energy that could be transformed into mental power.

Streams of energy gushed into Ou Yangming's body at the moment through his mental power vortex. They nourished his body like a hot spring, where their effects in the spiritual world became even more obvious. Ou Yangming could even sense that his mental power had grown.

Nonetheless, he quickly furrowed his eyebrows because he realized something at the same time.

Ou Yangming's mental power's growth was not proportionate to what he had expected. Although he absorbed plenty of moonlight, very little of it was actually transformed into power for his own. If he had to describe it, less than a hundredth had actually converted.

“Woof!”

All of a sudden, he heard a loud and clear voice in his mind.

Yes, the voice was not sent through his ears, but it rang in his mind.

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He immediately curbed his thought, as well as the mental vortex.

When he opened his eyes slowly, he noticed that the sky had turned bright. Ou Yangming had learned from the big yellow dog, where he absorbed Heaven and Earth's essence to improve his mental power. The entire process felt like it happened in a blink of an eye, but in actuality, the whole night had pa.s.sed. Ou Yangming saw the big yellow dog as soon as he turned around.

The dog was looking deeply at him, and it wagged its tail before running into the side room.

Ou Yangming rubbed his eyes as he was dumbfounded. 'Did I see it right? The big yellow dog actually wagged its tail at me.'

If a dog gave you a cold look while bearing its teeth, you must be careful because it might pounce on you at any time and bite you; if a dog wagged its tail at you, you could approach it without worries at all.

This was because it was cheerful and only had good intentions.

That said, the Ni family's half-spirit beast was different, hence Ou Yangming dared not draw a conclusion so easily.

Someone sent them breakfast after a brief moment, but to Ou Yangming's surprise, the big yellow dog's breakfast was heartier than his.

Perhaps the big yellow dog sensed Ou Yangming's look, it looked at its food, then at his. Following that, it gave a portion of its food to Ou Yangming. Ou Yangming widened his eyes at half of the golden roast duck given to him, then glanced at the big yellow dog, who was staring at him. At last, he reached out to rip off the duck leg and put it in his mouth.

The big yellow dog opened its mouth to smile adorably.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming had mixed feelings. 'I actually shared food with a dog in the Ni residence. Will I be a laughing stock if people find out about this?'

Ni Xueshu came when they were halfway through their breakfast. “Big Yellow?” He could not help but exclaim when he entered the room.

He had no idea that Big Yellow was in the

room.

The big yellow dog looked at him indifferently, then continued enjoying its sumptuous meal.

Ni Xueshu was very sharp-eyed, so he shouted in disbelief when he noticed the roast duck in Ou Yangming's hand, “Ou Yangming, y-you actually s.n.a.t.c.hed Big Yellow's food!”

'As pathetic as I am, I don't have to go so far as to s.n.a.t.c.h food with a dog, do I?' Ou Yangming's face turned dark, but when he looked at the halves of the roast duck in his hand and in the big yellow dog's plate respectively, he could not explain himself.

Nevertheless, he was surprised when Ni Xueshu did not ridicule him but lowered his voice to ask curiously with a serious face, “Lil' Ou, how did you do it?”

Ou Yangming was startled, and he asked in shock, “What?”

Ni Xueshu responded sternly, “Big Yellow only obeys the three great ancestors, and it never regards anyone else. In particular, it disallows anyone from touching its food, not even the great ancestors. How did you s.n.a.t.c.h its food from it?”

“I didn't s.n.a.t.c.h it at all, it gave the food to me!” Ou Yangming twitched its mouth and replied to him angrily. “It gave it to you?” Ni Xueshu could not understand him. “How's that possible? You're not its kind, why would it give it to you?”

Ou Yangming inhaled deeply to suppress his dissatisfaction.

'Can we even hold a happy conversation? What do you mean by its kind? I think you look quite like a dog, a lapdog to be exact!'

Seeing as Ni Xueshu was so astonished, Ou Yangming lost his appet.i.te. It was only after Ni Xueshu looked at them for some time when he asked, “Lil' Ou, the great ancestors have decided to send you to the Chaos Cave. Are you willing to go?”

Ou Yangming answered without hesitation, “Of course.”

“Alright, let's go,” Ni Xueshu said with a smile.

When he stood up to leave the room with Ou Yangming, he noticed that the big yellow dog had followed them.

Ni Xueshu was struck dumb, but he said, “Big Yellow, I'm bringing Lil' Ou to meet the great ancestors, you shouldn't follow us.”

The big yellow dog looked at him in discontent without responding, whereas Ou Yangming laughed and thought, 'I'll respect you if you're able to stop Big Yellow from following us.'

It was evident that Ni Xueshu could not handle the big yellow dog, so he shook his head and let the matter drift, then brought Ou Yangming to the big courtyard that he had visited the night before.

More than ten people had gathered in the courtyard at the moment.

Apart from the three top-notch Supreme Great Ancestors, most of them were the Ni family's elders, but the most eye-catching ones were Ni Yunhong and his younger sister. Ni Yunhong openly displayed his killing intent when he saw Ou Yangming. 'How dare this young fella take advantage of Younger sister, I must teach him a good lesson or I'm a useless elder brother.'

On the other hand, Ni Yinghong took a quick glance at Ou Yangming and looked away. She seemed like she was still mad. “Lil' Ou, you're here, come.” Ni Jingtong waved his hand and said, “We'll be setting out soon, so prepare…” “Hey, you…” Ni Xuetian suddenly voiced out. He scanned Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog a few times before he remarked, “Why are your auras suddenly matching so well?” The other people were surprised, and they quickly looked at them.

Afterward, they vaguely sensed that even though Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog were casually standing there, for some reason, the human and the dog connected on a deep level with each other. It was as though there was an indescribable connection between them that linked them together.

Ni Yinghong blinked her beautiful eyes as she was amazed and delighted.

She clearly remembered that they were not fond of each other when they first met, but they had somehow become closer to each other.

Ou Yangming was baffled earlier as he was the person involved, but after receiving surprised looks from the crowd, he could not ignore it anymore.

He fixed his gaze on the big yellow dog and happened to be staring at its big and round eyes. It was unexplainable, but Ou Yangming indeed felt something different; he seemed to have sensed what the dog meant to say through its eyes.

It was expressing that it would cooperate well with him in the forbidden area.

'Why can I understand it?' Ou Yangming felt chills at that moment. A thought quickly crossed its mind, and he came to a realization that his cultivation at the moon last night was not as simple as it seemed.

While he had indeed grasped the method to upgrade his mental power, he did not know what the big yellow dog had done during the process that they suddenly shared a mysterious connection.

'This big yellow dog isn't merely an ordinary half-spirit beast…'

“Since Big Yellow is following you inside, it's good to have a deep connection with each other.” Ni Jingshen laughed out loud, then clicked his tongue and commented, “It's G.o.d's will that you share such a connection.”

Ni Xuetian was still confused, but he figured after some thought that it was a good thing indeed, so he no longer looked into it.

“Great-grandfather, is Big Yellow going too?” Ni Yinghong suddenly asked.

“That's right, Big Yellow is going too, so they can look out for each other. That being said, Lil' Ou is still in charge.” Ni Jingshen nodded and looked at her lovingly.

Ni Yinghong went forward to hug Big Yellow's head, and said softly, “Big Yellow, take care of that young fella when you're inside. I'll definitely cook the best food for you when you're back!”

Big Yellow opened its mouth and nodded right away as it was excited. Ou Yangming wondered, 'Is she really good at cooking?' “Lil' Ou, please excuse me.” Ni Jingtong then approached Ou Yangming's and covered his eyes with a blindfold. Subsequently, the great ancestor flapped his sleeves before grabbing Ou Yangming's arms, then rose to head outside the city.

Ni Jingshen and Ni Xuetian flashed to follow them as well, whereas Big Yellow ran behind them. Despite that, it was clear that the big yellow dog ran effortlessly without exerting all its force, but it was so fast that it overtook Ni Jingtong after just a brief moment.

When Ou Yangming heard the whistles of the wind, as well as a dog's pants that were always around him, he said to himself, 'A dog is a dog, it runs so much faster than a human.'

After an hour, all of them slowed down.

Ou Yangming found himself inside a cave when the blindfold was finally removed.

When he looked around, he noticed jagged and peculiar rocks, as well as the cave whose depth was unfathomable.

“Is this the Chaos Cave?” Ou Yangming twitched his mouth.

“That's right.”

“Is your ancestor's legacy here?” “It should be…”

“How am I supposed to find it?”

Ni Xuetian was in a daze when he replied to Ou Yangming, “I don't know.”

Ou Yangming. “…” Ni Xuetian. “…”

They looked at each other speechlessly.
