Chapter 1282: News
The last time Ou Yangming came to the Mystic Sky Sect, he had just broken through to the law boundary. He had disguised himself as an outer sect disciple and managed to sneak into the sect.
An outer sect disciple had a low status. He had never met any of the upper echelons of the Mystic Sky Sect, and none of them had met him before. This helped to avoid some misunderstandings.
Of course, with Ou Yangming’s strength at the moment, it would be fine even if he said it directly.
“Brother Ou, this is the second time we’ve met, right?” Seeing Ou Yangming walk in, Mystic Sky stood up and said.
Ou Yangming nodded and said politely, “Greetings, Sect Leader.”
“What’s there to be polite about? We’re both in the same boundary now. There’s no need for such formalities. Just call me Mystic Sky.” Sect Leader Mystic Sky Interrupted Ou Yangming.
“Alright then, Mystic Sky.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and did not refuse.
Mystic Sky then smiled and pointed to an empty seat beside him. “Come, come, come. Come and sit here.”
This seat was only second to that of the Mystic Sky Sect master, and it was higher than the others.
Ou Yangming calmly sat down.
Soon, someone sent over spiritual fruits and delicacies. These things were rarely seen in the outside world. In a chamber of commerce, each of them was worth no less than 100,000 high-grade spirit coins but at this moment, these things were treated as ordinary food, and everyone had sufficient portions.
More than a dozen singers walked over from outside. They had graceful figures and wore hazy gauze clothes. They danced and sang at the same time.
Their dance moves were alluring, and their voices were even more beautiful.
“Brother Ou, it’s only been 2 years since we parted in the Desolate Ancient Ruins. I didn’t expect you to have become so formidable. In the ancient ruins, I could tell that you’re extraordinary. Now, it seems that my guess was correct.” Mystic Sky had mixed feelings. Back then, Ou Yangming was only in the second step, yet he dared to charge into the battle of third-step figures and even killed the Ancient Demon King. Such courage made people sigh in admiration.
“Brother Mystic Sky, you’re kidding. I was just lucky to increase my strength a little,” Ou Yangming said humbly.
Mystic Sky laughed. “Brother, you’re too modest. With your strength, you’re already a top-tier existence in the Great Wide World. Even among third-step mighty figures, there aren’t many who can match you. Such strength isn’t something that can be achieved by just increasing your strength a little.”
Ou Yangming reached out and picked a purple spiritual fruit and put it into his mouth. The fruit was incomparably fragrant, sweet, and refreshing. There was also spiritual power inside to nourish his body. It was rare to see such a spiritual fruit.
After swallowing the spiritual fruit, Ou Yangming smiled faintly.
He had hidden it well. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron had completely concealed his realm. Even the old man beside Ruler Ying could not discover his specific boundary. Naturally, Sect Leader Mystic Sky could not do it either. If they knew that the young fellow had not broken through to the third step, who knew what they would think?
Mystic Sky was right. Ou Yangming’s strength was certainly at the top of the Great Wide World. Nonetheless, he was not arrogant. The old man who attacked just now made him understand that there was always someone better.
Thinking of this, Ou Yangming asked, “Brother Mystic Sky, do you know what kind of move the red-clothed elder beside Ruler Ying used in the end? Why couldn’t I sense any law power when facing his attack? It’s as if I’m completely under his control.”
Ou Yangming voiced his doubts.
Mystic Sky was stunned for a moment before asking, “Brother Ou, you don’t know?”
Ou Yangming shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Mystic Sky did not pursue the matter. There were very few people among experienced third-step powerhouses like him who did not know about this, but Ou Yangming was different.
The sect leader smiled and said, “I forgot that you’ve just broken through to the Almighty boundary not long ago, Brother Ou, so It’s normal that you don’t know. The ability that the elder used just now is called Heaven’s Domain. It’s a very terrifying ability.”
“Heaven’s Domain?”
Ou Yangming was shocked, and he said in surprise, “That man is a Heavenly Rank powerhouse!”
He did not have a long-standing legacy and orthodoxy like the Mystic Sky Sect. Originally, he did not have the qualifications to know about these things. Nevertheless, in the Seven Stars Pavilion’s library, he saw similar words. Back then, the ability was casually mentioned in the book, and there was no further introduction.
From the simple introduction, Ou Yangming roughly knew that Heaven’s Domain should be an ability that only supreme powerhouses equal to heaven could grasp.
Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader shook his head and said, “He isn’t a Heavenly Rank powerhouse.”
Ou Yangming did not know why Mystic Sky was so sure. He asked again, “If he isn’t in the Heavenly Rank, why does he possess Heaven’s Domain?”
Mystic Sky’s face gradually became serious, and he explained in a deep voice, “Heaven’s Domain isn’t completely exclusive to Heavenly Rank powerhouses. As long as one breaks through to a half step to the Heavenly Rank, one can use Heaven’s Domain. If I’m not mistaken, the elder with Ruler Ying should be a half step to the Heavenly Rank.”
“Brother Mystic Sky, why are you so sure that that person isn’t in the Heavenly Rank?” Ou Yangming asked.
That elder took away Ou Yangming’s Reincarnation Spear, so the young fellow would definitely fight him again. Knowing oneself and the enemy was the only way to win battles. The young fellow had to figure out his opponent’s strength.
Mystic Sky smiled and said, “Under normal circumstances, powerhouses in the Heavenly Rank aren’t allowed to appear in the big worlds. Heavenly Ranked powerhouses form their own domains, and they form laws with their words. This will create countless variables in the big worlds. Therefore, the Great Wide World absolutely rejects such powerhouses. The big worlds have incredibly powerful origins, and even these powerhouses won’t dare to provoke them.”
To think that there was such a secret, Ou Yangming was very surprised.
The Mystic Sky Sect had a long history and almost rose together with the Humans. Naturally, the words of the sect leader were not false.
No wonder in the Great Wide World, few people had heard of the legends of powerhouses in the Heavenly Rank, and no one had ever seen such a figure.
‘He’s not in the Heavenly Rank!’
Ou Yangming heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the elder was not in the Heavenly Rank, there was still great hope. As long as Ou Yangming broke through to the third step of the laws, he was confident that he would not be weaker than the other party. At that time, he would be able to take back his Reincarnation Spear and avenge his humiliation.
“Where did the powerhouses in the Heavenly Rank go then?” Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ou Yangming threw out the doubts in his heart.
He was certain that there were surely powerhouses in the Heavenly Rank. Mystic Sky’s words just now had made it clear that under normal circumstances, such powerhouses could not appear in big worlds. This also confirmed their existence.
“The primal chaos. They all live in the primal chaos beyond the heavens.” Mystic Sky raised his head and looked at the sky. That was a faraway place. Perhaps he would never have the chance to go there in his lifetime.
“The primal chaos.”
Ou Yangming was familiar with this name. The Meteorite that he used to upgrade his Reincarnation Spear was a treasure of that place.
Their world was also born from Primal Chaos.
That was an ethereal place, but it was closely related to countless living beings.
“Those ancestors are over there. They must be very bored.” Below, a burly man with a rough appearance laughed and said.
“This is Ximen Kuang, the school master of the Saber School.” Seeing Ou Yangming turn his head, Mystic Sky introduced the burly man to him.
“Greetings, Ruler Ming.” Ximen Kuang looked like a rough person but when he bowed, he was very serious.
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
Ou Yangming raised his hand slightly and smiled. “What School Master Ximen Kuang said makes sense. Wouldn’t it be very boring if those Heavenly Ranked mighty figures can’t appear in the big worlds?”
“Of course not.”
Mystic Sky swept his gaze across the crowd, then he said, “There’s an introduction about the primal chaos in the Mystic Sky Sect’s inheritance. The primal chaos has nothing. It looks lifeless, but it’s not. There are also countless creatures there. Those creatures lived in chaos, and their bodies are very powerful. They formed various races and occupied the chaos. With these creatures, the Heavenly Ranked powerhouses wouldn’t be bored. Besides, many of them have their own divine kingdoms. Their divine kingdoms can’t be compared to the big worlds, but they can still support hundreds of millions of lives. With those, whether or not they come to the big worlds wouldn’t have much of an impact on them.”
He paused for a while then continued, “There’s also the fact that the primal chaos is more conducive to cultivation. All aspects can’t be compared to big worlds.”
After listening to Mystic Sky’s words, Ou Yangming also had a simple understanding of this universe. The big worlds were born from the chaos of the universe, and there were countless small worlds in the big worlds.
The primal chaos was the source of the world. That place was even more advanced, but the environment was harsh. Only a very small number of living beings could exist there.
Ou Yangming thought of Hong from the First Celestials, who was also the former master of the Enlightenment Pavilion. He should be a powerhouse from the chaos that Mystic Sky had mentioned. However, for some unknown reason, he had fallen in the Fallen Land after coming out of the chaos.
Suddenly, Ou Yangming thought of a problem.
Mystic Sky had said that Heavenly Ranked powerhouses could not enter the big worlds under normal circumstances, but there were still special circumstances. What was the special situation?
Ou Yangming recalled the scene he saw in the strange book, and he understood right away.
It was estimated that only when the Immortal Path to Heaven was opened would those Heavenly Ranked powerhouses be allowed to enter the big world. Mystic Sky must also know about the news of the Immortal Path to Heaven, but he did not know that it would happen in the Great Wide World soon.
Ou Yangming was more certain of his guess.
Thinking of his purpose of coming here, he looked at Mystic Sky and said in a deep voice, “Brother Mystic Sky, I also have a piece of news for you.”
“Oh?” Mystic Sky was stunned. Seeing Ou Yangming’s serious look, he was also a little curious. “Brother Ou, what news do you have?”
The other higher-ups of the Mystic Sky Sect also had curious looks in their eyes.
Ou Yangming said, “I think those Heavenly Ranked powerhouses will appear in the Great Wide World soon.”
“You’re saying that the Heavenly Ranked powerhouses will… What… Did you say that they’ll appear in the Great Wide World soon?”
Mystic Sky did not care at first but after hearing Ou Yangming’s words, he was suddenly shocked. He looked at the young fellow in disbelief.
The other higher-ups of the Mystic Sky Sect also quickly understood what Ou Yangming wanted to express. They also looked at him one by one, and they were more shocked than Mystic Sky.
Ou Yangming gradually stood up and said in a deep voice, “Yes, you’re not wrong. The Immortal Path to Heaven is about to open, and the location is in our Great Wide World…”
