Chapter 112 - The Testimony Path (1/2)

Chapter 112 The Testimony Path

A six-level high tower stood in the Ni residence’s backyard. Beneath the tower, Ni Jingtong looked at Ou Yangming and said, “The Testimony Path is extremely difficult, but it’s the only way to ensure that you won’t lose your mind in the forbidden area. If you can’t get through the path, I won’t allow you to enter the forbidden area even if you possess Heaven and man’s integration state.”

Ou Yangming nodded and responded, “Yes, I understand.”

Ni Jingtong s.h.i.+fted his body and was suddenly at the tower’s entrance. “Everyone else, let’s prepare. You may enter the tower in an hour’s time.”

“Young fella, concentrate and recuperate. Be careful.” Ni Xueshu nodded at Ou Yangming, then led several elders into the tower, whereas the other elders spread out around the tower.

Ou Yangming calculated in his head and found that a Supreme Great Ancestor and five Yang Grade powerhouses had entered the tower. It was evident that the so-called Testimony Path could not be opened easily. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming would not be afraid of whatever was stopping him.

He inhaled deeply and performed the martial-art squat. This time, Ou Yangming did not do it to cultivate his essential Qi, but to slowly adjust his breathing so that his body could eventually approach a near-perfect state.

Ni Yinghong and his younger sister, who were standing beside Ou Yangming, felt it clearly. They actually experienced a rather wonderful feeling when Ou Yangming breathed, where the whole world seemed to be moving in a wave motion when he inhaled and exhaled. No, it was more like Ou Yangming grasped a mysterious rhythm when he breathed, which allowed him to be one with Heaven and Earth.

The siblings happened to have the same strange thought at the moment.

‘Could it be that Heaven and Earth need to breathe too?’

After one whole hour, a l.u.s.ter was emitted from the tower’s entrance.

It was not a dazzling l.u.s.ter, but one that gave off a warm feeling instead. Nevertheless, Ni Yunhong and Ni Yinghong had a grave expression on their faces the moment they saw the l.u.s.ter.

“Brother Ou, you may enter. Be careful!” Ni Yunhong said with a deep voice.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes and smiled. “Okay.”

He had already adjusted himself to be in his peak condition. If he could not pa.s.s… No, he strongly believed that he could pa.s.s the test successfully.

With his head held high and his chest stuck out, Ou Yangming paced toward the tower’s entrance that was s.h.i.+ning in a mysterious l.u.s.ter.

Just as he was going to enter, Ni Yinghong called out to him, “Brother Ou, think about why you’ve come!”

Ou Yangming paused and nodded slightly. “Thank you.”

Following that, he flashed into the tower.

Ni Yunhong turned to look at his younger sister as he was surprised. Although he also hoped that Ou Yangming could successfully pa.s.s the Testimony Path, he felt that Ni Yinghong was being too obvious.

Ni Yinghong blushed a little, and her eyes were still fixed on the l.u.s.ter at the entrance.

“It’s over…” Ni Yunhong mumbled.

“What?”

“Ah, I was saying that I hope it’ll be over soon.”

“Is that so…”

“Of course…” Ni Yunhong nodded, then emphasized with an affirmative tone, “Absolutely!”

Once Ou Yangming entered the tower, he sensed the subtle change in his surroundings.

It was an extremely sharp feeling where only someone like him, who had achieved the integration of Heaven and man, could notice because he was especially sensitive to everything inside out.

That said, he could only sense some abnormalities at the moment, but was not certain what exactly was different.

Ou Yangming continued forward after a moment of hesitation. His target was the top of the tower, and the only way to get there was through the spiral staircase.

As Ou Yangming kept moving forward and stepped on the first step, he finally understood how the tower was different from the outside world.

Gravity.

Yes, the tower that was enveloped in a mysterious l.u.s.ter had an unusual gravity.

Needless to say, the nearer he was to the tower’s entrance, the lower the gravity, so much so that it was difficult to notice the difference. On the opposite, he could clearly sense the gravity difference at the stairs. When Ou Yangming began climbing the stairs, gravity kept increasing according to the steps.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Ou Yangming slowed down. Since he knew that the gravity inside was different from the one outside, he was obviously not going to let his guard down.

The best choice in this strange environment was undoubtedly to progress with a steady course. If one actually had wishful thinking to dash to the top in one breath, one definitely did not think it through.

With that, Ou Yangming advanced step by step to the second floor while carrying power that was slowly getting heavier.

Outside the tower, Ni w.a.n.gyang approached Ni Yunhong and his younger sister and said, “The Testimony Path has been opened, move further away.”

Ni Yunhong and Ni Yinghong looked at each other, then backed away. Even though they were concerned about the situation inside the tower, they knew that they could not help by standing where they were.
