Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 676

Detailed, art-like veined patterns were engraved on every strand of the flying carpet's wool.

Ou Yangming could not understand what they meant, but he was certain that they a.s.sisted the carpet to fly.

As compared to the flying carpet as a whole, their a.s.sistance was negligible and almost not effective at all. Nonetheless, there was plenty of wool on the carpet, and they made up to a considerable amount. If every strand of wool unleashed its power, even if it was just an insignificant bit, there would be a ma.s.sive increase in the end.

In a way, the production of the flying carpet was difficult beyond Ou Yangming's imagination.

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming recalled something. Since the flying carpet's wool played a supporting role, they were not only pleasing to the eye, but also had practical value. 'What will Yuqi the Venerable One think about me pulling a handful of them out just like that?'

If Ou Yangming was in the Venerable One's shoes, he did not think that he could ignore it.

He secretly turned his head to look at Yuqi the Venerable One.

The mighty being was standing proudly at the front of the flying carpet. His back view was similar to a towering mountain, making one feel like he was unapproachable even if he did not let his momentum overflow at all.

Yuqi the Venerable One half-turned his head as though he sensed Ou Yangming looking at him, and he asked coldly, “What is it?”

Ou Yangming's heart tensed up a little. He hesitated for a while, but he dared not hide anything from the Venerable One. This was because he knew that every move he made on the carpet could not be hidden from the Venerable One's remarkable mental conception.

The young fellow forced a smile and said embarra.s.sedly, “Senior, I accidentally pulled out a handful of wool from your flying carpet…” He handed the strands of wool, which was burned by his Military Fire but was not much damaged, over to the Venerable One and apologized, “I'm sorry.”

Yuqi the Venerable One's face twitched. He was furious, and he wanted very badly to simply throw the young fellow off the carpet.

He had gone through a lot of effort to obtain the flying carpet, hence he knew how precious it was. Even so, after seeing Ou Yangming's fire and sensing a hint of its aura, as bold as he was, he dared not do that.

“Forget it—one that doesn't know any better isn't guilty.” Yuqi the Venerable One scoffed. He was afraid that Ou Yangming would continue to pull out wool from the carpet out of curiosity, so he added, “It's best to think thrice before you act next time.”

“Yes, thanks for your pointers, senior,” Ou Yangming quickly replied to him. He lamented to himself, 'He's worthy of his status as a Venerable One indeed. I'm in admiration of how broad-minded he is.'

Nevertheless, he did not know that Yuqi the Venerable One was narrow-minded and was someone that treated people according to their statuses. If someone else had done what Ou Yangming did, that person would have been kicked off the flying carpet right away.

As for whether the person would land safely after being kicked off the carpet, it would be out of the Venerable One's consideration.

The old macaque's eyes lit up, and it asked out of the blue, “Lil' friend, are you very interested in this flying carpet?”

Ou Yangming chuckled and answered, “Yes, I've never seen pieces of equipment for flight, so I wanted to study it.”

Yuqi the Venerable One had a look of ridicule in his eyes, but he had turned his head away, so Ou Yangming could not see it.

This was a flying carpet, which was a piece of flight equipment that could fly in the sky. There were people that could refine such a piece of equipment, but one had to be at least a Venerable One to refine one.

The reason being humans that were not Venerable Ones could not fly with their bodies alone, thus there was also an invisible barrier when they tried to study pieces of flight equipment.

Needless to say, humans could also adopt various means, especially by taming birds, to fly. Having said that, that could not let one feel the real meaning of flight.

Therefore, none of the blacksmiths that were not Venerable Ones managed to refine flying carpets.

Of course, even though Yuqi the Venerable One did not believe that Ou Yangming could succeed, instead of pointing it out, he simply kept quiet.

The old macaque nodded and said after some thought, “If that's the case, little friend, go ahead and study the carpet to your heart's content. Hehe, as long as you don't ruin anything on it anymore, you're free to do anything you want.”

Yuqi the Venerable One's face changed. It took him a lot of effort to restrain himself from turning around.

'What is the old macaque talking about? How could it encourage the young fella to study the carpet? Didn't it see the young fella pulling out a handful of wool earlier?'

Despite that, the Venerable One forced himself to hold it in when he recalled the fire released by Ou Yangming earlier. In any case, the old macaque told the young fellow not to ruin anything else on the carpet, so he would let him be.

Ou Yangming's eyes gleamed at once. He was a legitimate blacksmith, who not only had notable skills, but also a strong curiosity and a craving for knowledge.

After seeing the flying carpet, he was like a glutton that saw a feast, or a pervert that saw a pretty lady and could not even walk at all. If that was not the case, he would not have pulled a handful of wool from the carpet when he knew very well that a Venerable One was present.

He was elated after he heard the old macaque.

Ou Yangming turned to glance at Yuqi the Venerable One, whose back view was similar to a mountain. The Venerable One did not say a word.

That said, Ou Yangming took it as the Venerable One acquiesced in it.

He kowtowed to the old macaque and expressed his grat.i.tude seriously, “Thank you.”

Ou Yangming definitely spoke from the bottom of his heart. He was bursting with joy.

With that, he sat with his legs crossed and gently shook his wrist to release his Military Fire, which slowly spread in all directions with him as the center.

The faces of Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque could not help but change. In particular, the old macaque was embarra.s.sed.

It let Ou Yangming do as he wished, but it did not allow him to release his fearsome fire. Although the cultivation bases of the old macaque and Yuqi the Venerable One were higher than that of the young fellow, they still feared his fire very much.

The fear was instinctive, and it did not reduce despite their cultivation bases.

As the old macaque swayed its body, it went to the edge of the flying carpet and stood next to Yuqi the Venerable One. It knew it was unlikely for Ou Yangming to attack it with his fire, but it was not willing to stay in the intense fire.

Yuqi the Venerable One looked at it with a faint smile as if he was saying, 'Look, this is the consequence of your careless words!'

The old macaque giggled and shrugged, then it looked away. 'This flying carpet isn't mine anyway, so it's none of my business even if it's really ruined.'

Ou Yangming released his Military Fire, but he remembered the old macaque's words well, where he was asked not to damage the flying carpet. Of course, when he thought about the carpet's owner, as bold as he was, he would not ruin it at all.

His Military Fire burned slowly, but it did not release scorching heat as it studied the carpet in an extremely calm method.

Ou Yangming could not identify the flying carpet's material, but he sensed a drifting power from the veined patterns that were attached on it.

In actuality, Yuqi the Venerable One's power ran through the entire carpet as it was being used at the moment. If an equal-ranked powerhouse studied the carpet during the process, it would be considered a huge offense. Besides, while the Venerable One was formidable, it would be dangerous if he was perceived by an equal-ranked powerhouse.

However, the person that was fiddling with the flying carpet at the moment was an Intermediate Spiritualist.

As much as Yuqi the Venerable One was afraid of him, he did not think that the young fellow could threaten him at all.

Hence, after taking a look at Ou Yangming, who was immersed in his Military Fire, the Venerable One gave up wanting to stop him and let him explore.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes and sensed the flowing airflow inside the flying carpet. He was delighted. In fact, he naturally released his mental conception to envelope the carpet and even the s.p.a.ce around it.

For an instant, Ou Yangming had a strong feeling that he had transformed into a bird and was flying in the sky.

His mind kept spinning, and he began to release his spiritual world outside, forming a peculiar resonation with the outside world.

Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque looked at each other and sensed how surprised and in disbelief they both were.

Given their cultivation bases, they sensed Ou Yangming's spiritual world the second he released it. The spiritual world could puzzle high-rank spirit beasts, but it could not shake their wills and spirits at all, so they easily broke free from its influence.

Fortunately, they could sense that Ou Yangming was not targeting his spiritual world at them. The young fellow had only subconsciously released it, thus they were only wary but did not disturb him.

Inside his sea of consciousness, Ou Yangming became more excited. As he sensed the airflow released by the flying carpet, he slowly constructed wonderful patterns in his mind.

He seemed to have been born with the ability as he was not obstructed at all.

At this moment, he freed his mind and flew in the sky as if he had turned into a flying carpet.

Nonetheless, he eventually sensed that he was constrained by a certain power, making him feel like his hands and feet were ties.

His eyelids flickered… 'There must be a flaw on this flying carpet, which is why I'm feeling this.

'Find it, find it!'

Ou Yangming unknowingly expanded his Military Fire to a larger area. Before long, the fire extended toward Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque; it almost covered every inch of the flying carpet.

Big Yellow stuck out its tongue and cast a rather fearful look at the Venerable One.

'Lil' Ming, have you gone mad?

'It's fine if you don't care about your life, but I treasure mine!'
