Chapter 1042: Kept in the Poisonous Pill’s World

The Wutong Tree’s leaves rustled as they came into contact with each other. The emerald green leaves fell to the ground one after another.

Its face was made up of tree bark. It squeezed the leaves together and asked probingly, “Master, are you here to leave a mark?”

“No…” Ou Yangming answered without thinking. At this moment, he did not want to deceive the Wutong Tree. He only had a thought-provoking smile on his face.

Although the Wutong Tree felt regretful, it was good at keeping its composure. How could it be described? It did not show its emotions. The Wutong Tree simply shook the leaves to show that it understood. It looked into the distance, and its eyes were unusually hollow. Nonetheless, in the depths of this indifferent gaze, there was more or less a trace of regret.

Ou Yangming gave a half-smile with a playful look in his eyes. He then added, “I’m here to take you away.” His voice was calm and indifferent but when the Wutong Tree heard him, it sounded like the sound of a drum or lightning.

It was stunned for a moment before it regained its senses. Its nose, eyes, and mouth were all squeezed together as it asked, “Really?”

“Really,” Ou Yangming answered.

The Wutong Tree’s huge body made swishing sounds. It only stopped after a long while.

Next, its heart was filled with questions. Its master had comprehended the power of laws, but it was too difficult to take it away. At the thought of this, its fiery heart felt as if it had been doused with cold water. Its body was cold as it asked doubtfully, “Where do you plan to settle me down, Master?”

Ou Yangming did not answer. He waved his sleeve downward, and a world with boundless vitality and endless potential appeared in front of the Wutong Tree.

He mobilized the spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake, and his Qi momentum was as smooth as one. His eyes were white and black as if they had evolved into myriad worlds. From afar, his body seemed to have split into two by a curved arc—one side was white while the other was black—corresponding to the balance of light, darkness, and Yin and Yang.

At this moment, all the Venerable Ones present felt a chill in their hearts as they felt a huge sense of danger.

Even the Wutong Tree, which had lived for countless years, was shocked. It thought to itself, ‘Given his advancement speed, and that he comprehended the power of laws as a Venerable One, how far can he go in the future?’ It did not dare to make wild guesses, but it knew that meeting Ou Yangming was the greatest opportunity in its life. It did not know that this thought had appeared many times in the minds of the goshawk and King Kong.

Ou Yangming raised his hand and pressed down, then a black and a white thread spread out.

They gently hovered in the air, then they intersected with each other, giving off a feeling that they could contain all things. The secret realm shook violently, and countless gullies appeared out of thin air. They were at least hundreds of meters long, splitting the ground into pieces. This kind of power no longer belonged to the Spiritual Realm. This was a power that reached the heavens.

The gullies became deeper and collapsed downwards. As such, the secret realm where the Wutong Tree became independent. It was enveloped by the power of laws and became incompatible with this world.

Under the Wutong Tree, it was dead silent.

The goshawk and the king kong looked at each other and smiled bitterly. “King Kong, previously when I transcended the Heavenly Disaster and became a Venerable One, I was still complacent. Now, after seeing Master’s power, I truly understood the saying that there’s always someone better out there.”

King Kong nodded in agreement and said, “I really can’t stop seeking the heavens and the path for even a moment. I have to work even harder in the future.”

Especially when it looked at the land in front of it that was constantly being divided, its thought expanded endlessly. At this moment, Ou Yangming’s power had reached the point of changing the world.

When the Wutong Tree saw this, its old face was full of excitement.

Nevertheless, among the many spirit beasts, the most shocked one was still the antelope.

After all, as far as it remembered, Ou Yangming was only a Rudimentary Spiritualist. Now, he actually had the ability to reach the heavens. This was simply a myth.

Mountains and rivers shattered, and the world trembled.

Ou Yangming’s eyes suddenly focused, and he softly shouted, “Rise!” He raised his right hand from below.

With that, the secret realm turned into a stream of light and flew into the poisonous pill’s world.

This shocking scene seemed to have become eternal and was branded in everyone’s mind. There was only one thought left in their mind. ‘Is this the power of laws?’

In the poisonous pill’s world, the Wutong Tree planted its roots into the ground and shook its leaves. After sensing carefully for a while, it looked at Ou Yangming, wanting to say something but stopped.

“If you have something to say, just say it,” Ou Yangming scolded with a smile.

The Wutong Tree considered its words and expressed, “This world has the potential to become a massive world but…” It paused and stared at Ou Yangming with its weathered eyes.

Big Yellow was impatient. It shook its head and urged, “But what? Hurry up and say it.”

“But this world lacks some spiritual essence,” the Wutong Tree said.

“Do you mean Dragon Bloodlines?” Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, the poisonous pill’s world already has the potential to become a great world, but it seems lifeless. If we can place some Dragon Bloodlines here, the rate of evolution of this world will surely be accelerated.” The Wutong Tree lowered a branch, rolled up a stone, and threw it into the distance.

“Dragon Bloodlines!” Ou Yangming muttered softly.

After a long while, he said in puzzlement, “Dragon Bloodlines have spirits, but the poisonous pill’s world has just taken shape. I’m afraid they won’t be willing to come.”

The Wutong Tree widened its eyes and looked deeply at Ou Yangming. It smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry. All spiritual beings in this world have the mentality of climbing up. The poisonous pill’s world’s potential is so great that it’s beyond ordinary.” It paused for a moment, and its words became overbearing as it continued. “Besides, the spiritual beings in this world belong to those who are virtuous. If they don’t want to come, you can just snatch them. Given your current strength, Master, capturing the Dragon Bloodlines will be a piece of cake.”

Ou Yangming laughed bitterly. Before this, he had not realized that the Wutong Tree was also a radical.

He took a long breath and spoke at a steady pace, “We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go back first.”

As soon as he finished, he gently waved his sleeve. With that, he and the 4 beasts walked out of the poisonous pill’s world. After the world evolved, Ou Yangming could bring living beings into it and cultivate in it.

Having said that, to be precise, the spiritual Qi in the poisonous pill’s world was too thin, and his cultivation speed was far from if he were to cultivate in the outside world. If he could find a few Dragon Bloodlines, this problem could be solved.

Above the clouds, Ou Yangming felt something and looked down at the Tianlan River. On the surface of the river, the waves were sparkling, and the current was rapid. It was like a huge dragon winding into the distance.

After pondering for a while, he looked up at King Kong and said seriously, “King Kong, take them back to the Beast King Sect first.” The beasts had all become Venerable Ones, but he still felt that the king kong was more reliable, so he gave it a heavy responsibility. Of course, if someone was blind enough to target them, they would just be courting death.

Multi-armed King Kong did not ask any more questions and nodded with an honest face.

Big Yellow raised its steps and moved slightly, but it was stopped by the king kong’s gaze.

It smiled timidly and withdrew its paw.

In terms of strength alone, Big Yellow was not weaker than the king kong after it refined the Dragons’ relic. In fact, it was even a little stronger, but it was used to listening to the king kong.

Ou Yangming shook his head and took a step forward with his right foot. The step was not big. if it was compared to that of a mortal, it was even inferior. As soon as he lowered his right foot, his left foot lightly stepped on the void and followed. The step was several meters further than the one before. This repeated such that every subsequent step was several meters further than the previous step. After 100 steps, as soon as he took another step, he immediately appeared 3 kilometers away as if he had teleported.

This was a true depiction of shrinking the land into an inch.

The 4 spirit beasts, which could be considered top powerhouses in the Spiritual Realm, looked at Ou Yangming’s disappearing figure with admiration in their eyes.

“Master’s current strength is too strong,” the goshawk remarked sincerely

“If not, how is he our master?” King Kong nodded in agreement, then its body emitted a muffled sound as it flew toward the 10,000 Beasts Sect.

※※※※

Ou Yangming flew upstream along the Tianlan River, looking at the waves that were sometimes calm and sometimes surging.

His mind was as calm as an ancient well. It was like a clear lake without the slightest ripple.

After 3 days, he did not know how far he had walked. A small shabby boat could be seen by the side of the river. It looked like an unmanned boat in the wild.

Right at this moment, an old man walked out from the small boat and pulled the iron chain that tied the boat.

He was wearing a straw raincoat. His fingers were weathered, and there were thousands of wrinkles on his face. His teeth were stained yellow by smoke. He laughed heartily and asked, “Hehe, young friend, are you going to cross the river?” As the old man said that, he stomped his foot and took out a wooden board from the boat, then he placed it on the shore. He knocked it hard to make sure that it would not slip into the water before he got up. There was an inexplicably deep look in his eyes.

“Elder, do you still remember me?” Ou Yangming stepped onto the boat and smiled.

The ferryman patted his head and smiled apologetically. “Ah, my memory… I’m old now, so I couldn’t remember you at first glance, young friend.”

Ou Yangming was no longer the same as before. Looking at the old man, he felt as if he could see a dazzling golden light with a majestic spirit.

The old man ferrying across the Tianlan River was actually the spirit of the river and the Dragon Bloodline between the 2 continents.

He protected the fate of Danzhou and Zhangzhou.

The cabin was shabby, but it was tidied up very neatly.

As for the little girl, she had not changed at all. She stood by the stove and lit it up. There was a pot of liquor on the stove.

The old man smiled and expressed softly, “I thought that it’d take at least 100 years before I get to drink this pot of liquor with you, my friend. I didn’t think that in just a few short years, you’d be able to reach this step. It’s truly incredible, and I’m envious of your fate.” As he spoke, he took off his bamboo hat, hunched his body, and took out wooden cups. He poured out the liquor from the pot into 2 cups.

With a wave of her sleeve, the little girl brought one of the cups to Ou Yangming.

She said timidly, “Here, Elder Brother.” Her eyes were full of curiosity.

Ou Yangming stroked the hair beside her ear and took a sip of the liquor. His eyes lit up, and he said, “Good liquor.”

“As long as you don’t mind it. This liquor was refined from the spirits of plants in Danzhou and Zhangzhou. Its taste is incredibly pure,” the old man explained softly.

“Thank you for your hospitality.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and bowed sincerely.

Given his level, very few people in the Spiritual Realm could make him bow at them. That said, he bowed to return the old man’s favor of helping him attain the path in the past.

Afterward, the cabin quieted down. They quietly drank and were very satisfied.

The little girl occasionally looked at the side of Ou Yangming’s face. Her gaze was gentle and from time to time, the corners of her mouth curled up. No one knew what she was thinking.

It made Ou Yangming somewhat curious.
