Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 586

'Try?

'Did this young fella say that he'll try?'

Mount Liang Wolf King looked at Ou Yangming in confusion as though it suspected that it heard him wrongly.

After seeing the armor's properties on the crystal wall, how dare the young fellow say that he would try?

Although the armor was only a magic tool of Good Grade Rank Four, it was still a piece of White Silver Equipment that could activate a skill. It was worth noting that the White Silver Skill Equipment was far more valuable than an ordinary piece of White Slate Equipment.

In fact, even an ordinary High Grade magic tool's actual value was far from that of a piece of White Silver Skill Equipment.

Mount Liang Wolf King thought that the young fellow would quit after learning of its difficult request. Who knew, he had the guts to attempt the task.

The spirit wolf twitched its mouth and scoffed. “Fine. Since you're not afraid of failure, you can give it a go.” It added after a pause, “But n.o.body will prepare any materials for you.”

Even though the high-rank spirit beasts present possessed plenty of precious materials, they had gathered those materials through a lot of hard work, hence they would not waste them on the young human blacksmith.

Ou Yangming nodded, but he did not act right away. Instead, he reached out to tug at Big Yellow and walked away.

Mount Liang Wolf King blinked and was puzzled. 'Didn't this young fella say that he wants to try? Why did he bring the spirit beast away instead of starting to smith? Is this his way of advancing without retreat? He said that he wants to attempt the task but in reality, he wants to retreat.'

The spirit wolf scoffed and no longer paid attention to the human, who suddenly appeared then disappeared. Instead, it shifted its attention to the crystal wall.

'When will the equipment I need appear on that…'

Ou Yangming brought Big Yellow away from where the high-rank spirit beasts were at. He gently patted its head and said, “Big Yellow, where's your Indestructible Defense? Release it again.”

Big Yellow blinked its large eyes and asked, “Why?”

“You've already become a spirit beast, so I'd like to see if your gifted ability has improved,” Ou Yangming explained with a smile.

Gifted abilities released by spirit beasts were enormously different from abilities released by half-spirit beasts and human Supreme Great Ancestors in the lower realm in terms of power. This was the biggest disparity between the powers of Rudimentary Runes and Intermediate Runes.

Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness stored the Indestructible Defense too, but it was only a rudimentary one.

Before this, n.o.body had brought this up to Ou Yangming, and it never crossed his mind too. He only thought about this at this moment after having learned the Spiritual Realm's smithing art.

Since he wanted to gain more Intermediate Runes, he would need to be acquainted with these Spirit Grade powerhouses first. In this case, Big Yellow would unquestionably be the best choice.

Big Yellow could not understand it, but it would not reject Ou Yangming's request.

As it shook its large head, a yellow light surfaced from its body.

The Indestructible Defense!

Once the skill was activated, the big yellow dog's body seemed to have been enhanced with a layer of a yellow light ring. Before the light ring was destroyed, nothing could hurt it.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes and embraced Big Yellow as he quietly sensed the changes in the power around it.

Inside his sea of consciousness, his Military Fire boiled fiercely. Moreover, his remarkable mental power started to change as if it was influenced by the fire's energy.

A virtual rune emerged in his sea of consciousness, and it slowly became clearer.

This rune had many similarities with the Indestructible Defense Rune that Ou Yangming obtained from Big Yellow back then, but there were much more rune paths, making it more mysterious and unpredictable.

For other runes, even if Ou Yangming utilized both his Military Fire and great mental power, he would surely spend a lot of time and effort to form them.

It was akin to when he collected a rune from Fat Antelope.

However, this rune was still for the Indestructible Defense; the only difference was it changed from a rudimentary one to an intermediate one.

With the Rudimentary Rune as a basis, the upgraded rune with the same ability was quickly formed in Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness. The process turned out to be much easier than the young fellow had imagined.

Needless to say, it was only what Ou Yangming felt. If another blacksmith had carried out the same process, he or she would not be able to bring together a rune at all.

When Big Yellow incited its Indestructible Defense, whether it was the mysterious ape that guarded the pa.s.sage or the high-rank spirit beasts below the high platform, they sensed it. Even so, none of them made a fuss about it. At most, they glanced in that direction for a split second and were not bothered anymore.

This was Sir Venerable One's territory, after all. As such, a foolish being would definitely be courting death by trying to cause trouble here.

The light on Big Yellow's body slowly diminished until it finally turned into nothing and vanished.

It widened its eyes and asked, “Should I do it again?”

Ou Yangming grinned and answered, “That's not necessary.”

“Once is enough?” Big Yellow was shocked.

“Hehe, don't you know who I am? Once is enough!” Ou Yangming responded with a smile.

Big Yellow blinked and asked, “Why did you waste so much time when Fat Antelope released its Gravitational Force Suppression then?”

Ou Yangming was lost for words when he looked at the big yellow dog. He cursed internally, 'Can this dumb dog even have a delightful chat with me…'

While responding to Big Yellow's question half-heartedly, Ou Yangming brought it back to the high platform.

Mount Liang Wolf King turned to look and instantly spotted them when they returned. It rolled its eyes about and questioned, “Were you the ones that released that aura just now?”

Big Yellow stuck out its chest proudly and answered, “That's my gifted ability!”

It was extremely happy that a high-rank spirit beast was surprised about that.

Nonetheless, Mount Liang Wolf King's face took on an odd expression as it asked, “What natural gift is that?”

“The Indestructible Defense!” Big Yellow replied to the spirit wolf joyfully.

Mount Liang Wolf King's expression became stranger than before. “Hey, young human fella, you're not trying to make a last-minute effort by applying what you've just learned, are you?”

Ou Yangming rejoined, “Since you requested the same equipment, of course, I can't disappoint you.”

The spirit wolf widened its eyes. It could not hold it in anymore, thus it burst out laughing.

At that moment, the bidding ended, where the wealthy spirit elephant managed to bag the armor in the end. With that, many spirit beasts shifted their attention. In particular, they were stunned when they saw Mount Liang Wolf King laugh madly without caring about its image.

'That fella's a chatterbox, but it won't go so far as losing itself, will it?'

“Mount Liang Wolf King, what are you laughing at? How about you tell us so that we can laugh along too?”

With great difficulty, the spirit wolf managed to suppress its crazy laughter. It took 2 deep breaths before it answered, “Hehe, let me tell you something strange.” It reached out its claws then pointed at Ou Yangming and Big Yellow. “They'd like to get to the peak to see sirs' pieces of equipment and pills, so I told them that they'll at least have to get past us if they want to go up there.”

Many spirit beasts finally understood what was going on. They could not help but sneer when they saw how young Ou Yangming was, and how weak Big Yellow was. If they were not in this place, they would have stomped the ignorant human to his death long ago.

Mount Liang Wolf King continued, “I told the young fella that he'll pa.s.s if he smiths an armor according to the one before.”

One of the high-rank spirit beasts chuckled. “Okay, seeing how young he is, he'll qualify if he can smith an armor of that rank.” It squinted its eyes as it smiled, and it sounded unmindful, which was evident that it did not think Ou Yangming would succeed.

“Take a guess—what did this fella do just now?” The spirit wolf shook its claws and asked. It looked around with smiling eyes, then it revealed the answer. “He actually brought that little fella to learn the Indestructible Defense Skill.”

The spirit beasts were dumbfounded, and the spirit elephant asked in shock, “Are you saying that they were the ones that caused the aura fluctuation just now?”

“Yes!”

Many spirit beasts looked at each other. After some time, at least half of them laughed out loud.

The other half did not lose themselves, but they had disapproving looks in their eyes. At this point, even those that were the most optimistic about Ou Yangming did not think he could succeed anymore.

Mount Liang Wolf King laughed for a while before it said, “Dumb fella, I only requested a similar piece of equipment; I wasn't asking you to imitate it completely. Hehe, you're really an interesting fella. I haven't laughed like this in a long time.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “May I ask what exactly you're laughing at?”

The spirit wolf was startled. “You don't know what I'm laughing at?”

“Yes, I really don't know what's so funny.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Mount Liang Wolf King laughed again and explained, “You're trying to use the ability you've just learned to attach the skill to a piece of equipment. Let's not talk about whether you're able to learn it or not—even if you can, you won't be able to attach it for sure.”

To attach a skill, one must leave powerful rune paths on a piece of equipment.

The ability could not be grasped by ordinary blacksmiths. Without a certain cultivation base and the capability, one could not learn the ability at all.

Besides, even if a blacksmith mastered a skill, without practicing it thoroughly, one would not be able to attach it to a piece of equipment. This was a known fact for even the spirit beasts, which could not grasp smithing art.

“Woof…” Big Yellow suddenly barked, and it sounded indignant.

It regarded Ou Yangming as an almighty figure. Even if certain things were unachievable for other people, it did not mean that the young fellow could not do them too.

Ou Yangming grinned after some thought, “No matter what, I'll have to try to know whether I'm able to do it or not.”

The young fellow did not care about Mount Liang Wolf King anymore. He retrieved his interspatial bag and slowly opened it, then he retrieved the materials inside one by one.

Many spirit beasts were astonished at first, but they were soon indifferent about it.

That said, they were surprised when Ou Yangming took out the Tremendous Power Treasure Ore, which he had just upgraded not long ago.

A Tremendous Power Treasure Ore was a White-Silver-leveled material. Even for the high-rank spirit beasts present, not all of them possessed one.

While they looked grave, none of them believed that Ou Yangming could create a miracle. Instead, they somewhat coveted the ore and were regretful.
