Chapter 562: An Agreement With The Venerable One


“The Heavenly Thunderbolts?” Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, and he had a strange look on his face. He shook his head and answered, “I have no idea, but according to King Kong, there’ll probably be a few decades before it faces the thunderbolts?”


Upon hearing him, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed and noted, “Over there, the punishment can indeed be delayed by several decades but if it stays here, it’ll be struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolts after a decade at most!”


Ou Yangming’s eyes twitched as he was appalled. “It… Can it become a Venerable One?”


This was the Spiritual Realm, where the world’s power was extremely forceful and was far from what the lower realm could compare. Ordinary Spiritualists would not draw the attention of the universe’s power at all; only Venerable Ones would attract the Heavenly Thunderbolts.


Nonetheless, Ou Yangming immediately shook his head and added, “That’s impossible, its aura isn’t that powerful.”


Ou Yangming had experienced how fearsome a Venerable One was. Although he only faced one for a split second and from different worlds, he knew he could not resist such a being.


In comparison, even though Multi-armed King Kong was as enormous as a mountain, it was far from a Venerable One, which possessed powers as deep as a sea.


“What you sensed isn’t its true aura but the aura it released,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One explained and sighed. “I personally sealed half of its power.”


Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other, and their hearts pounded.


Given that King Kong, whose power was half-sealed, was so frightening, what would its ability be if its power was unsealed?


It was no wonder Multi-armed King Kong did as it wished when it faced the big lazy turtle; apart from its size advantage, most importantly, it was full of confidence due to its absolute power.


The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked deeply at Ou Yangming and asked, “Human cultivator, what’s your name?”


‘I’ve been here for some time already, and yet you only ask for my name now,’ Ou Yangming roasted the Venerable One internally, but he dared not look displeased at all. “I’m Ou Yangming from the Humans.”


“Ou Yangming. Alright, I don’t care how you and my child met but since you took it under your wings, you must take responsibility for it,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One replied to the young fellow and had a meaningful look in its eyes. “If not, I won’t let you go even if I have to risk my life.”


After witnessing the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix, it decided to not question Ou Yangming closely to find out the reason anymore.


In actuality, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was slightly glad. If Multi-armed King Kong built relationships with the successors from those 2 races, it would be great news, and it would ask for more. However, Ou Yangming was a human, so how could he maneuver the Phoenixes’ powers?


The Venerable One could not figure it out, but it dared not get to the bottom of it.


Ou Yangming questioned sternly, “Senior, do you mean helping King Kong get through the thunderbolts disaster safely?”


“That’s right.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded.


The thunderbolts disaster was incredibly mighty for those that became Venerable Ones. For generations, those that managed to survive it were potent, well-prepared, and lucky enough.


According to the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s estimation, if Multi-armed King Kong faced the thunderbolts disaster now, its chances of surviving it was less than 30%. This was the reason it did everything it could to seal half of the king kong’s power and sent it to the lower realm.


Perhaps the king kong’s temperament would improve after training in the lower realm for decades, and it would have a higher chance to survive the disaster.


Nevertheless, if it really became involved with the 2 races, its chances of surviving the thunderbolts disaster would increase by at least twice.


Ou Yangming grinned. “Senior, don’t worry, I believe that Multi-armed King Kong will definitely get through the thunderbolts disaster safely.”


“Definitely?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was dumbfounded, and it sneered. “Have you experienced how mighty the thunderbolts disaster is? How dare you boast so shamelessly!”


Big Yellow opened its mouth but was glared at by the Venerable One. It instantly tucked its tail and hid behind Ou Yangming as it dared not show itself anymore.


On the other hand, Ou Yangming looked calmly at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and responded in a deep voice, “Senior I’m a blacksmith, and I have a special smithing technique that’ll escort King Kong through the thunderbolts disaster safely.”


“A blacksmith?” The Venerable One’s eyes gleamed, but it quickly shook its head and remarked, “Based on your experience and cultivation base, what kind of good items can you smith? Ah, you might as well… Seek help for them; they might be able to help my child.”


Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard looked at each other. They guessed that Ou Yangming had a notable background, by which even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One feared the hidden power behind him. Despite that, they could not think of any force that could help Venerable Ones resist the thunderbolts.


They lowered their heads at the same time. At this point, they dared not make wild guesses anymore.


Ou Yangming pondered and expressed, “Senior, words alone are no proof. If that’s the case, how about you look into this again once I meet up with King Kong and smith and equipment set for it?”


“Why isn’t my son with you?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One questioned.



The young fellow smiled bitterly. “We encountered an accident on our way here, but I believe I’ll meet King Kong as long as I return to the Humans’ boundary.”


While the Venerable One wanted to question him further, it shut its mouth when it thought about the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix. Having said that it cursed internally, ‘Is this related to those 2 races?’


“Since you’re a blacksmith, that’ll be great,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One said as a thought crossed its mind. It pointed its finger and continued, “I’m holding a Trading Meet on the mountain, so how about you participate in it so I can take a look at your abilities?”


Though it did not believe how a human blacksmith, who had just come from the lower realm not long ago, could surprise it, it somehow looked forward to his performance when it recalled the queer appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.


The Humans might be useless, but if one was involved with those 2 races, even the most useless fellow would become a lively dragon or an active tiger.


“Elder, I’ll do as you say.” Ou Yangming nodded.


“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One reached out its arm, then it moved slowly and left like a ghost.


Ou Yangming and the others were taken aback. They paid full attention to it when they spoke to the Venerable One, but they did not know how the powerhouse left.


If the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had evil intentions against them, they probably could not have escaped at all.


The ape, which escorted them here just now, hopped over and said, “The Venerable One invites you to the Trading Meet’s venue.” It later brought them away from the mountain range and journeyed between some mountains before they arrived in front of a tall mountain.


Ou Yangming and the others had not climbed the mountain, but they could already sense numerous strong auras at the top.


Without a doubt, those that could enter the venue were spirit-beast-level powerhouses.


The ape glanced at Ou Yangming curiously and asked, “Can you really help Great Master resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts?”


Ou Yangming was struck dumb. When he realized that the ape was referring to Multi-armed King Kong, he smiled and answered without any hesitation, “I can.”


He only uttered 2 words, but they portrayed his immense confidence.


The ape’s eyes lit up, and it suddenly kneeled before Ou Yangming and kowtowed at him 3 times.


Ou Yangming was shocked. Just as he was going to help it get up, it already stood up and said, “Thank you.”


The ape had not become a spirit beast, but its wisdom was not inferior to other intelligent living beings. Furthermore, its eyes were filled with innocence and purity, thus it could easily gain the favorable impressions of others.


“It’s what I should do, so you don’t need to thank me.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.


Following that, the ape swung its tail and stated with a smile, “The venue is right ahead. Good luck to you.” It later swayed its body and jumped nimbly into the forest, where it disappeared in the blink of an eye.


Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed as he looked forward to the Trading Meet.


This would be his first time meeting human blacksmiths ever since he entered the Spiritual Realm. He wanted to know how capable the blacksmiths here were.


The Trading Meet on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge was organized by the Venerable One through a lot of hard work. The meet would not only be participated by spirit beast kings from different mountains, but at least 100 human cultivators would be present too.


As soon as Ou Yangming and his companions entered the venue, at least 10 spirit beasts hurried toward them from afar.


Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard quickly went forward. They had met the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One after they followed Ou Yangming. While the Venerable One could not be bothered talking to them at all, they were content about being able to meet it.


Given that they were still in high spirits, they would not let other spirit beasts approach Ou Yangming so easily.


Since even the Venerable One’s son was Ou Yangming’s pet beast, they must serve him well.


A spirit tiger wielded its claws and shouted, “What are the 2 of you doing?”


Fat Antelope questioned proudly, “What are you trying to do? Why are you charging in this direction?”


The spirit tiger was furious. “We’d like to request this human to smith magic tools and refine pills for us. Is that wrong?”


Fat Antelope was startled, and it chuckled embarrassedly. “You didn’t have to swarm here, did you?”


The momentum as a result of over 10 spirit beasts charging in the same direction was unordinary indeed; most ordinary people would have been horrified.


“There are too many seekers, so we have no choice but to do this.” The spirit tiger and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly.


After some time, Ou Yangming and his companions understood why they were so impatient.


It was true that there over 100 human blacksmiths and alchemists were invited or came uninvited, they were far from enough for the entire 10,000 Beasts Ridge. At least 1,000 spirit beasts had attended the meet, hence every human master was enthusiastically pursued. Regardless of their abilities, spirit beasts were willing to place their bids and wait.


The spirit tiger and the others arrived too late, so they could not find any alchemist or blacksmith. Therefore, they were elated when they saw a human enter with only 3 spirit beasts around him. As such, they rushed toward Ou Yangming.
