Chapter 1078: 1078

“Equipment…” Ou Yangming was moved, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

In terms of equipment, Ou Yangming had indeed smithed a lot for Big Yellow and the others, but those were the products of the Spiritual Realm. Although the big yellow dog and the king kong survived the Thunderbolt Disaster, it was also thanks to their Thunderbolt-resistant Suits. Nonetheless, after entering the Great Wide World, the young fellow had not smithed any new equipment for Big Yellow.

Moreover, to be honest, ever since he entered the Great Wide World, the level of the powerhouses he had come into contact with was absolutely different.

The pieces of equipment that he might have been able to rely on to run amok in the Spiritual Realm before were now a joke here. Especially in a battle against a Ruler, other than the Dragon Slayer, the Ancient Dragon Shield, and other magic weapons, the rest of the equipment he had were dispensable.

As Ou Yangming glanced at Big Yellow and Lil’ Red, he could not help but come up with a plan.

Big Yellow shrunk his neck and asked, “Lil’ Ming, what are you doing?”

Ou Yangming smiled and said, “I’m thinking that you should indeed have new pieces of equipment.”

Big Yellow’s eyes lit up. He opened his mouth and beamed. “Great! Lil’ Ming, I was waiting for you to say that!”

If it was purely based on martial strength, Ou Yangming could not be rampant in the world. Even so, the situation would be different when it came to smithing divine weapons. With the mysterious Heavenly Phoenix Fire and the Imperial Bloodline, he had a unique advantage in this aspect.

Otherwise, he could not have refined a divine magic weapon during the competition in the Phoenixes’ ancestral land.

Of course, refining a treasure of that level would not be an easy task. Even Ou Yangming needed to expend a lot of energy. Therefore, Big Yellow only expressed himself and did not expect the young fellow to fulfill his wish right away.

Who knew, Ou Yangming changed his mind and took the initiative to talk about it.

Ou Yangming smiled indifferently and said, “Big Yellow, Lil’ Red, I’ll first refine a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit for each of you.”

“A Thunderbolt-resistant Suit?” Big Yellow’s eyes flashed with confusion. Even Lil’ Red looked puzzled.

The Thunderbolt-resistant Suit was famous, so they naturally knew how precious it was. Nevertheless, given their strengths at the moment, it seemed like they would not need to use such a suit.

Ou Yangming could see their doubts at a glance. He smiled and explained, “The Heavenly Thunderbolts will always be a hurdle that we can’t get around. If it was King Kong or the goshawk, I wouldn’t be too worried. However, assisted by the Small Phoenixes’ World and the Small Dragons’ World, I’m not sure how fast your cultivation speeds are. Perhaps you’ll need the suits soon.”

Big Yellow and Lil’ Red’s eyes were gleaming. They understood what he meant.

It seemed like wishful thinking for them to become Rulers in a short period but just as Ou Yangming had said, with the treasures like the Dragons’ World and the Phoenixes’ World, there was indeed a possibility of a miracle happening to them.

Therefore, Ou Yangming wanted to make preparations in advance.

Ou Yangming said in a low voice, “This time, I was intercepted by the powerhouses of the Dragons and the Phoenixes. I managed to escape, but I realized that I’m still not strong enough. Heh, the heart of origins—I can feel that there must be a secret in that place, so I must go there.” His eyes flashed with a trace of determination as he continued, “Since Senior Feng Mu sent you here, he should have his reasons. I don’t dare to doubt him but for your safety, we must be prepared.”

Lil’ Red nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

He was a legitimate phoenix but even in the lower realm, he was already used to listening to Ou Yangming’s advice. Now, as the young fellow’s strength continued to increase, his words became more important to him. At the very least, the little red bird never had any thoughts of rebelling him in these matters.

This was because he had unparalleled confidence in Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming smiled faintly and said, “I have some experience in equipment smithing. Apart from the Thunderbolt-resistant Attribute, the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit will also have a pretty good defensive power. It should be able to become the best defensive equipment that you can use daily.” He smiled confidently, making Big Yellow and Lil’ Red even happier.

This was because they deeply understood that Ou Yangming was not someone who would speak without thinking. Since he said so, he surely had absolute confidence.

Ou Yangming shifted his gaze and said, “You’ve obtained the Dragons’ World and the Phoenixes’ World for quite a long time. You should’ve obtained some treasures from them by now, right?”

With their strengths at the moment, it would be impossible for them to inherit the 2 worlds so quickly but after slowly studying and exploring, they should have more or less gained something.

Big Yellow and Lil’ Red looked at each other. The former opened his mouth while the latter flapped his wings.

Instantly, rays of treasure light shone in front of Ou Yangming. Different attributes, types of materials, and pieces of equipment appeared from the void and landed in front of him. These items were exceptionally rare, such that he had never even heard of many of them.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Your harvests are really shocking.”

As he spoke, he waved his wrist, and a powerful force was released, sucking up the items on the ground one by one.

In his palm, the mysterious Heavenly Phoenix Fire flickered. This Phoenix Fire had the mighty power of the origin attribute. When it flickered, it could sense everything in the outside world through the origin power.

Even if Ou Yangming did not recognize some materials or treasures, as long as this Phoenix Fire with the origin attribute came into contact with them, he could sense everything.

Ou Yangming’s actions were not fast, but rather slow. Furthermore, the more he sensed, the more serious his expression became. Despite that, Big Yellow and Lil’ Red were very familiar with him. With a glance, they could tell that the young fellow’s serious attitude contained great joy. Obviously, the materials they took out made him very satisfied.

After a long time, Ou Yangming finally finished identifying all the materials.

Big Yellow said impatiently, “Lil’ Ming, there are actually still many things among the relics that I obtained, but I couldn’t break the restrictions at all. Besides, even if I obtained a magic weapon, I can’t use it yet…” He lowered his head slightly and seemed to be a little regretful and dejected. “I’m too weak.”

Lil’ Red flapped his wings as if he wanted to say something, but he looked around and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He saw all of their actions and naturally understood why they acted like this.

Lil’ Red was more sensitive. He was in a similar situation to Big Yellow, but he was not willing to admit that he was temporarily unable to inherit the Phoenixes’ treasures.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and remarked, “Big Yellow, you don’t have to be discouraged. I’m already very satisfied that you managed to reach this level.”

“Of course.” Ou Yangming reached out and rubbed Big Yellow’s head intimately. “Don’t worry! With these things, I’ll refine a magic weapon that belongs to you.”

Big Yellow nodded excitedly. He was just short of letting out a long howl to express his mood.

Lil’ Red widened his eyes and asked, “What about me?”

Ou Yangming chuckled and said, “You’re different from Big Yellow, and the materials that you took out are also different. So, the thing I’ll refine for you…” He paused for a moment before he continued, “Don’t worry, it shouldn’t disappoint you. It’s just that I hope you won’t need to use it.”

Lil’ Red blinked, his face full of curiosity. ‘What does he mean by that?’

After Ou Yangming finished, he ignored Big Yellow and Lil’ Red. He sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and he began to be deep in his thoughts.

Equipment smithing was not a simple matter. Not to mention that Ou Yangming wanted to customize the pieces of equipment, even if he wanted to refine some standard ones, he still needed to make some minor adjustments.

Of course, powerful existences above Venerable Ones would not use pieces of standard equipment.

Seeing how serious Ou Yangming was, even if Lil’ Red and Big Yellow had a belly full of questions, they could not say anything at this moment.

Big Yellow looked around and asked, “Lil’ Red, how do we enter the heart of origins?”

Lil’ Red proudly swung his neck and said, “Take a guess.”

Big Yellow widened his eyes and cursed internally, but he still answered flatteringly, “I heard that only by using the special Teleportation Formation of the Phoenixes’ ancestral land can we enter the heart of origin. Do we… Have to go back first?”

A look of disdain flashed across Lil’ Red’s eyes. He said, “Since Grandfather sent us out, he has a foolproof plan. Why would he let us go back? Hmph, if we suddenly return now, we’ll be targeted by those people from the Main Combat Sect and cause more trouble.” He thought for a moment then added, “Grandfather won’t be afraid of them, but they’re all members of the Phoenixes, after all. It won’t be easy to deal with them.”

Every phoenix powerhouse was a precious resource. In the Phoenixes, the most taboo thing was to kill each other.

Therefore, even if their goals were different, between the Main Combat Sect and the Peacemaking Sect, there had never been a precedent of a death battle between them.

Big Yellow asked in confusion, “If we can’t go back, how can we get to the heart of origins?”

Lil’ Red flapped his wings proudly, and a feather with a particularly bright color appeared.

“Everything’s under my control so don’t worry.”

Big Yellow was startled. Looking at the long feather, an inexplicable sense of fear emerged in his heart. He let out a long sigh and thought to himself, ‘Sure enough, it’s awesome to have a strong backing!’

Lil’ Red’s cultivation was not considered much in the Phoenixes but because of Feng Mu’s support, he even had a way to enter the heart of origins.

Big Yellow looked at Ou Yangming, and a trace of hope surged in his heart.

‘Lil’ Ming, come on! I want to cling to you too!’
