Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 589 - Approval


Chapter 589: Approval

The sound of the Earth rumbling was heard, causing all of the spirit beasts to be shocked.

They would not find it strange if a humongous creature such as a giant elephant made the strike; elephants were known for their powers. In fact, it was even possible for an elephant to release an even more forceful power.

On the other hand, the spirit beasts that knew Mount Liang Wolf King well knew it could not have exerted such power on its own.

The spirit wolf roared again as soon as it landed, and its body released an intense earthy yellow light. The light was so dazzling that it carried a rich and substantial aura.

“Secret technique—the Indestructible Defense!”

A high-rank spirit beast’s face changed, and it exclaimed.

The spirit beasts present were knowledgeable, hence they immediately noticed the mystery after they saw the light.

“Wolf King, take my punch!”

A black figure suddenly charged at Mount Liang Wolf King. It was a giant spirit bear, which extended its large fist to punch the spirit wolf’s chest.

The other spirit beasts could tell that the spirit bear did not hate Wolf King; it only wanted to try the Indestructible Defense’s mightiness. After all, secret techniques were categorized into different ranks such as rudimentary, intermediate, and advanced. On top of that, there were huge disparities between the secret techniques of dissimilar ranks.

Wolf King straightened its body without dodging or blocking the spirit bear’s attack. It was also curious which rank the Indestructible Defense belonged to.

“Boom…”

With that, an extremely powerful punch hit Mount Liang Wolf King’s body hard. It was a mighty punch as the spirit bear was not merciful at all. If Wolf King was not on guard at all, it would definitely be injured by the punch.

A frightening grunt was heard after the punch was made. Following that, Mount Liang Wolf King staggered backward, but it gained a strong foothold again after taking only several steps back. It had the same look on its face, and it did not seem like it was harmed at all.

“The Indestructible Defense—an intermediate Indestructible Defense!” The spirit bear withdrew its massive fist and uttered firmly while its eyes flickered with peculiar lusters.

An intermediate Indestructible Defense Skill.

The power upgrade had reached the White Silver level.

A magic armor of Good Grade Rank Three.

If these properties were added up, would they not be similar to the quality of the walking beast’s armor that appeared on the crystal wall?

Although Good Grade Rank Three was a rank lower than Good Grade Rank Four, the spirit beasts would not be too calculative over it.

“Swoosh…”

Almost at the same time, the spirit beasts stared at Ou Yangming. Nonetheless, it was different this time because their eyes were gleaming.

As compared to their scornful looks before, there was a vast difference at the moment.

Ou Yangming was neither afraid nor uneasy when he was being stared at by many high-rank spirit beasts. Even when their cumulative aura was notable, it could not shake his heart anymore.

At the end of the day, Ou Yangming had been tested by the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix, and it happened more than once.

In comparison, the high-rank spirit beasts, which were not even Venerable Ones yet, were not that much.

“Hehe, can I ascend to the peak now?” Ou Yangming asked as he smiled with his eyes narrowed.

He had an amiable smile on his face, but his voice was ear-piercing to the high-rank spirit beasts.

“Hey, what’s going on with you?” A furious voice was heard, then a figure walked out from behind the crystal wall. It was a human elder, who was raging with fire at the moment. “I’m smithing a piece of equipment. Can’t you be more well-behaved!”

Seeing as the elder walked out fiercely, the high-rank spirit beasts were startled for a while, but they quickly made way. With that, only Ou Yangming, Big Yellow, Mount Liang Wolf King, and the enormous bear that attacked, were left at the center.

Nevertheless, the spirit bear spread out its arms and said, “Master Gao, this has nothing to do with me. I only punched at that fella, but it’s the one that howled and released the power that shook the Earth.” It pointed at Mount Liang Wolf King without any hesitation to put the blame on it.

Mount Liang Wolf King was so mad that it rolled its eyes. ‘This fella’s no longer my friend.’

Even so, it also knew that the massive bear had nothing to do with disturbing the human masters indeed.

The spirit wolf cleared its throat and turned around to bow at the human elder. “Master Gao, it was an accident, but it’s true that I wasn’t able to control it. Please calm down.”

“Pfft, calm down my *ss!” The master glared at it. “My pills were about to be completed in the furnace, but I was distracted by your howl and the quake… You, you…” He pointed at the spirit wolf and was steamed up as he uttered, “I’ll ask to see the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One now to get you expelled!”

Mount Liang Wolf King turned pale right away because it knew the severity of the matter. If the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was alarmed, it would not only be expelled.

“Ah, Master Gao, I’ll make it up to you, I’ll make it up to you…” The spirit wolf shouted, “I really didn’t do it on purpose; I obtained an armor by chance, but I caused trouble because I was surprised and overjoyed.”

“An armor?” Master Ou was slightly stunned. “Which master smithed such a shocking piece of equipment?”

Since a high-rank spirit beast tested a piece of equipment without any restraints, the alchemist was curious.

Mount Liang Wolf King instantly removed the armor and handed it to the master. “Elder, please take a look at this.”

Master Gao accepted the armor, then a white light flashed on it without warning.

It was the Appraisal Light.

The master was an alchemist, but the Appraisal Light was universal, thus it could be used on pieces of equipment, materials, as well as pills.

[Item: Walking beast’s armor]

[Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Good Grade, Rank Three]

[Attributes: Sharpness +28, Toughness +28, Power +1 (White Silver), Durability 28]

[Skill: Indestructible Defense (Intermediate)]

[Wish-fulfilling Degree: 6]

Once the elder appraised the equipment, he mumbled and announced its properties.

“A Wish-fulfilling Degree of 6?” Mount Liang Wolf King was dumbfounded, and it questioned the master as it was shocked, “Master Ou, is it true that the Wish-fulfilling Degree is 6?”

“I was the one that appraised it so of course, it’s 6.” Master Gao was displeased. He scoffed and asked, “This equipment is pretty good, and the Wish-fulfilling Degree is quite absurd, but it’s not top-notch anyway. Why were you so agitated?”

He was an alchemist, but due to his outstanding abilities, he mostly interacted with potent blacksmiths, so he could tell at one glance if a piece of equipment was good or bad.

The equipment was not bad indeed, and it was considered a mini top-grade tool. Whether it was the White-Silver-level power, the intermediate Indestructible Defense as its defensive ability, or even the Wish-fulfilling Degree of 6, the properties were up to bar. While the equipment’s equivalent rank was only Good Grade Rank Three, those 3 properties were enough to make the high-rank spirit beasts fight for it.

Having said that, a mini top-grade tool was a mini top-grade tool; it was not a legitimate piece of first-rate equipment.

Therefore, it was impossible for a high-rank spirit beast like Mount Liang Wolf King to go mad for the armor.

Master Ou pondered for a brief moment before he turned the armor around and questioned, “Whose work is this? Why isn’t there a seal on it?”

Masters that came to the Trading Meet would bring seals unique to them. Whether they refined pills or smithed pieces of equipment, they would engrave their seals on them to prove that those were their works.

However, the armor did not have a seal.

Mount Liang Wolf King twitched its mouth and turned to look at Ou Yangming. The other high-rank spirit beasts present seemed to have lost their abilities to speak at the moment.

They flushed and felt bad when they thought about how they treated Ou Yangming in the beginning.

Needless to say, the thick-faced high-rank spirit beasts might be a little ashamed, but they more so wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Ou Yangming, who clearly had a promising future as a blacksmith.

Master Gao was sharp-eyed. He noticed the spirit beasts’ reactions and knew at once who made the armor.

Despite that, when he looked at Ou Yangming and was observant enough to tell his age, he widened his eyes in disbelief too.

Upon seeing his expression, the high-rank spirit beasts felt much better.

‘Even a human like you couldn’t tell, let alone us.’

Master Ou cleared his throat and asked, “Lil’ friend, I’m Gao Mingjie. How should I address you?”

“I’m Ou Yangming. Greetings, Master Gao,” Ou Yangming bowed at him and answered seriously.

“Ou Yangming,” Gao Mingjie mumbled. Countless thoughts crossed his mind, but he could not remember any unparalleled God-favored one from one of the sects in Danzhou with this name.

“Lil’ friend, who did you learn your smithing art from?” Gao Mingjie asked in a deep voice.

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “My master’s Old Craftsman, but many friends had given me pointers too.” He paused and pointed below the mountain and continued, “Elder Bai guided me before this too.”

“Oh, Bai Zhiyi.” Gao Mingjie frowned a little, but he was even more surprised.

Bai Zhiyi was indeed a human master that was on par with him, but he did not believe that the elder could have brought up such a disciple.

Gao Mingjie suddenly laughed and said, “Lil’ friend, since you’re able to smith this piece of equipment, you’re qualified to enter the crystal wall. There are several other old friends here too. Are you willing to come in to have some fun?” He asked with a smile.

Ou Yangming was taken aback, but he later responded happily, “I couldn’t have asked for more.

After experiencing a smithing storm, not only did he gain the spirit beasts’ approval, but he was also recognized by a human master.

Though he knew this would be the outcome, he could not help but lament.

‘It turns out that one’s capability speaks for one in the Spiritual Realm.’

Gao Mingjie cheerfully brought Ou Yangming around the crystal wall and went inside.

As for Big Yellow, it shook and jumped on the armor.

Ou Yangming might not care about the item, but it did!

Mount Liang Wolf King rolled its eyes about and asked with a smile, “Ah, brother, is that your master? Where did you come from?”

“Hehe, little brother, I’m the master of the Black Wind Cave, and I’d like to invite you and your master over to play for a few days. What do you think…” The black bear flashed a big smile and went forward to get in Big Yellow’s good books.

The other high-ranked spirit beasts surrounded the big yellow dog too, and they did not underestimate it even though it was a low-rank spirit beast. Instead, they did their best to show their enthusiasm.
