The Simulated Spiritual Fist was a skill that Ou Yangming secretly learned from the imperial family.
It was true that the effect displayed by Ou Yangming was 100 times greater than that created by the imperial family member known to be the most adept in the skill. Even so, in terms of the detailed understanding of the fist technique, he might not be comparable with the imperial family’s record of experiences over a millennium.
Ever since Ou Yangming used the fist technique to help people advance to a higher boundary, Wu Yuanwei and the others began paying attention to the secret technique.
They clearly remembered that many of the fist technique’s descriptions and achievements could be found in the thick record.
Throughout the generations, the senior that was the most skilled in the fist technique used it to help several martial artists at the peak of Yin Grade to advance to Yang Grade.
It was evident that the fist technique indeed had precedents in this aspect. Advancing from Yin Grade and Yang Grade were entirely different, and the effects were Heaven and Earth apart. Nonetheless, those were still similar examples.
Having said that, it was clearly stated in the record that the success rate was low—less than 50%.
Moreover, as the cultivation base of the person attempting the act became higher, the fist technique’s power would decrease progressively. If the cultivator was above Yang Grade Class Three, the technique would basically be ineffective.
However, when Ou Yangming began performing the Spiritual Fist, at least hundreds of people had entered, and regardless if they acknowledged the young fellow as their teacher, the outcome was the same for them—they entered Extreme Grade and left the realm excitedly.
Out of the hundreds of people, none of them failed. It was simply unimaginable.
Wu Yuanwei pondered for a long time before he asked, “He has probably failed before, hasn’t he?”
“Yes,” Wu Kangzhe answered seriously, “Before Master Ou left the capital previously, he produced Extreme Grade powerhouses on a large scale too, but a few among every 10 people didn’t succeed.”
The 2 most important figures from the Wu family exchanged glances and felt indescribable chills at the bottom of their hearts.
How long had it been? Given that Ou Yangming already improved to such a fearsome state, could he create a huge miracle by keeping the promise of becoming a Venerable One within a century?
If one wanted to unleash the Simulated Spiritual Fist’s greatest effect, one must create an incredibly real illusory world.
Not only would one require great mental power to achieve that, but one also had to have remarkable control. As such, the simulation could then be done so meticulously that other people would not be able to distinguish if it was real.
When Ou Yangming split his mental conception into 10 parts, the 2 figures from the Wu family were worried that the illusions created by him would be flawed due to his dispersed powers. If that was the case, the powerhouses would have little hope to enter Extreme Grade.
Nevertheless, it was proven that Ou Yangming could still carry out the process with ease.
Despite that, the more outstanding Ou Yangming’s performance, the more distressed they were.
They were humans too and were God-favored figures flattered by everyone else, but why was there such a tremendous gap between them and Ou Yangming?
The 2 figures sighed at the same time. Wu Yuanwei became more determined about not offending Ou Yangming no matter what, and Wu Kangzhe’s attitude also underwent a 360-degree change. The latter figured that the young fellow was one that was truly favored by God, so the Wu family must not provoke him at all.
※※※※
For over 10 days in a row, Ou Yangming remained in the secret realm. While helping the powerhouse advance to a higher boundary, he used the opportunity to train his mental power and control.
The 2 powerhouses from the Wu family thought Ou Yangming could already accurately control the Simulated Spiritual Fist, and they thought that the help he provided to 10 powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade in one go was more than enough. They did not know that the work was not done by the young fellow alone, and the little red bird, which seemed like his pet, on his shoulder was the real mastermind.
It was worth noting that the Phoenixes’ spiritual world was a world that could communicate with the origin world, and the little red bird’s notable natural gift could further support the spiritual world. Therefore, when Ou Yangming borrowed its spiritual world’s power, everything ended up perfectly.
Besides, Ou Yangming also consolidated and upgraded his powers throughout the process, hence it was truly a happy ending for all.
By the last day, the 1,000 powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade had all made a trip to the secret realm.
They were still at the peak of Yang Grade when they entered, but they became Supreme Great Ancestors when they left.
The lower realm had existed for plenty of years, but it was the first time so many human powerhouses became great ancestors.
Just as Ou Yangming stopped the process, got up, and stepped out of the secret realm, countless Supreme Great Ancestors, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed almost at the same time. They shouted most sincerely, “We pay you our respects, Teacher Ou.”
They sounded powerful and dynamic, which was unexampled, so much so that the guarding soldiers quivered too.
Those were 1,000 over Supreme Great Ancestors. Although they had just advanced, they were already in Extreme Grade and could not be messed with. If they wanted to cause a disturbance, they could easily overturn the dynasty.
Ou Yangming looked around and glanced at Wu Hanning. He knew at once that the princess had secretly guided them to do this.
If not, the Supreme Great Ancestors, which were mostly from the capital and the 8 counties, would not have stayed behind.
The young fellow sighed and uttered, “You may get up.”
As he strode, many newly-advanced powerhouses got up and followed him outside the city.
Before long, they returned to the cottages. Ou Yangming turned to look at their different facial expressions and sneered. “What is it? You were able to stay here when you were in Yang Grade, but you can’t settle down anymore now that you’re in Extreme Grade?”
Everyone else’s hearts tensed up, and they immediately expressed that they would be willing to stay in the cottages until the end of time as long as Ou Yangming wanted them to.
“You’ve just advanced, and your boundaries aren’t stable enough, so you can’t enjoy life yet.” Ou Yangming shook his head and pointed at the cottages ahead. “Stabilize your boundaries here. If anyone slacks or tries to play tricks within 3 months… Hmph, if I can help you advance to Extreme Grade, I can obviously bring you back to square one and even…”
The people instantly fell silent. Even though some of them got their heads turned by their success of entering Extreme Grade, they felt like they fell into an ice cellar at the moment and dared not have improper thoughts anymore.
Following that, Ou Yangming clapped twice. A loud shriek was heard coming from the sky, and the ground in the distance began to rumble. Soon enough, Multi-armed King Kong was nearby, and his mountainous body inflicted immense pressure on everyone else.
“Take a good look at them—my pet beasts. If anyone wants to escape, you can compare your speed with theirs,” Ou Yangming noted coldly.
The other people looked at each other and smiled bitterly as they thought, ‘Won’t we be courting death if we compare our speed with theirs?’
If someone else—even if it was Wu Yuanwei, who was the Humans’ greatest powerhouse—forced them like that, the newly-advanced great ancestors might not be willing to give in because they had just gained a lot of confidence. After all, over 1,000 of them were gathered here, and one command would be all they needed to overturn the world.
However, everything was different because it was Ou Yangming that spoke.
Most of them had acknowledged Ou Yangming as their teacher. Not to mention they were not capable enough to resist him, even if they were, they would not have the guts to put their thoughts into action.
Ou Yangming nodded at the people he subdued as he was pleased. “From now on, those that are under me will take turns to enter this cottage. As for the others, solidify your boundaries on your own.”
With bright eyes, he waved his hand and carried a momentum that could not be defied.
Everyone else responded to him loudly but while some were joyful, some were sorrowful.
They knew Ou Yangming was probably doing this to fulfill his promise, where he would smith magic tools for his apprentices.
In actuality, when everyone else was informed about the 2 different treatments offered by Ou Yangming, most of the powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade chose to follow him. It was not only because they would be watched over by a powerhouse, but they could also receive tangible benefits.
A customized magic tool could become an ultimate treasure passed down in a clan.
Needless to say, a few people did not devote themselves to the young fellow, but they could be neglected as compared to the 1,000 over powerhouses that did.
Seeing as Ou Yangming’s apprentices lined up to enter the cottage, the rest of them had different expressions, but deep down they regretted their decision.
Inside the cottage, Ou Yangming summoned the first person and casually raised a question.
The powerhouse was the first person from the first group, but his performance in the illusory world was only mediocre and did not catch Ou Yangming’s eyes. Thus, after a brief discussion, the young fellow smithed a magic tool attached with an ordinary offensive skill for him.
From Ou Yangming’s perspective, the magic tool’s rank and power were lacking, but the tool was an ultimate treasure to the powerhouse.
According to the order of entering the secret realm, newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestors entered one after another. Ou Yangming treated them equally, but he paid special attention to a few of them.
Those few people displayed rather impressive abilities in the illusion. While their abilities varied in terms of mightiness, the fact that they caught Ou Yangming’s eye proved that they were unordinary.
Ou Yangming induced them with his words and turned their most-skilled abilities into runes to be stored. As the number of runes in his sea of consciousness increased, his knowledge and capability improved too. Furthermore, when the number of runes arrived at a certain level, they naturally had the effect of allowing the young fellow to comprehend by analogy. As a result, he could grasp them better.
For 3 whole months, Ou Yangming received all of his apprentices in the cottage and customized a magic skill tool for each of them.
At the same time, nearly 100 unique runes were added to his sea of consciousness.
It was a significant gain as the runes’ values would not reduce even if he were to leave this realm.
After 3 months, when the imperial family ordered everyone to gather, the Supreme Great Ancestors had completely stabilized their boundaries.
What awaited them was a vast wilderness outside the capital, where a supreme formation map, which could accommodate 10,000 people had been set up.
