Chapter 188 Realize Nature

Ou Yangming forced a smile, but it was impossible to say he was not aggrieved at all.

He put in a lot of effort to smith magic tools, and he gave the first one to the Ni family. Although it was because of Ni Yinghong, Ni Xuetian was the one who benefited from it.

However, when Ni Xuetian brought up the matter, he did not disclose anything to Ou Yangming. As such, even the most tolerant person would hold a grudge against the great ancestor.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was not an ordinary person, thus he curbed his thoughts and suppressed the feeling of displeasure.

“Great Ancestors, you kept your promise, so it’s my turn to fulfill mine.”

Old Craftsman was shocked because he did not know what Ou Yangming meant.

On the other hand, Ni Jingshen and his brothers were surprised and overjoyed. There were not many things in the world that could make them forget themselves, but Ou Yangming’s words definitely had the power to do so.

Ou Yangming gave Old Craftsman an eye signal as he pa.s.sed the spear tip to him. They did not converse with words, but they understood what each other meant.

Afterward, Ou Yangming left the smithing workshop with the three Supreme Great Ancestors.

Old Craftsman cleared his throat with a look of worry and asked, “Young Master Ni, what did the reckless b*stard promise?” “I have no idea either. Ah, Brother Ou has been deeply valued by the three great ancestors, and even I can’t do anything about it.” Ni Yunhong smiled bitterly because he was also clueless. It was inevitable for him to feel jealous, but he would not do anything over because of that. Ni Yunhong clenched his fists and looked resolute as he thought, ‘I’m not as good as you now, but it doesn’t mean I’ll never be.”

Old Craftsman shook his head a little because he could tell Ni Yunhong was not resigned to how things turned out. ‘But if you want to catch up to the b*stard… I’m afraid you’ve already lost your opportunity.’

Ou Yangming stood still in the courtyard as he looked around him.

He figured that the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors had put in plenty of effort in the courtyard because the rockeries, pavilion, and the exotic plants around had vaguely fused with nature.

Living in such an environment was equivalent to being close to nature at all times, which was extremely helpful for one to fathom nature.

When Ou Yangming glanced at Ni Xuetian, he knew the reason the great ancestor was able to realize the integration of Heaven and man had something to do with him staying in this courtyard for a long time.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, this is a courtyard built by our ancestor, and it has been the residence of our clan’s Supreme Great Ancestors for generations,” Ni Xuetian introduced with a smile when he sensed Ou Yangming looking at him. He looked rather proud when he said, “There was a higher proportion of Supreme Great Ancestors who apprehended the integration of Heaven and man when they stayed here, so this place has been the most envied place by the other clans.”

Ou Yangming questioned, “What’s the

proportion?”

Ni Xuetian subconsciously answered, “Roughly 20%.”

Ou Yangming nodded. It was indeed quite amazing that about 20% of Supreme Great Ancestors could comprehend the integration of Heaven and man under the influence of such a unique environment.

If he had made a setup here instead, there would not be such a fearsome effect.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was not adept in gardens and formations—he had a comprehension in nature, which was of a higher level.

He was full of confidence again when he regained composure, and he said, “Seniors, I’ll be releasing mental power soon, so please concentrate and don’t be distracted by external things.”

Ni Jingshen and Ni Jingtong took a step back each and saluted Ou Yangming with a half-bow.

The great ancestors could already be considered Ou Yangming’s grandfathers whether it was in their age or their cultivation base. That said, the one who mastered something first would become the master. Therefore, when Ou Yangming became superior to the great ancestors in a certain aspect and could provide them with tremendous help, the great ancestors dared not loosen up, so they did a half-bow at him.

Ou Yangming was taken aback, and he immediately s.h.i.+fted sideways to avoid them.

Ni Jingshen and his younger brother sat with their legs crossed after they saluted the young fellow. They curbed their thoughts entirely and no longer paid attention to their surroundings.

“Thank you for the trouble,” Ou Yangming nodded and uttered softly to Ni Xuetian.

Ni Xuetian a.s.sured him. “Don’t worry, I’ll slit my throat if anything happens here, so I won’t be laughed at by other people.”

Indeed, the courtyard was the most important place in the Ni residence. Since Ni Xuetian was guarding Ou Yangming and the two other great ancestors, he would be too embarra.s.sed to live if someone could still barge in and distract them.

Ou Yangming smiled and sat between the two great ancestors.

The instant he closed his eyes, his mind entered an exceptionally wonderful world.

It was the integration of Heaven and man.

Ou Yangming had experienced this countless times, but the state was suddenly making him feel overjoyed at the moment.

He realized and sensed an intense feeling of joy when the mental power that he released came into contact with his surroundings.

The environment was especially suitable for the integration of Heaven and man. In fact, Ou Yangming felt that it was simply tailored for the state. He indulged in the joy around him, as well as the excitement that emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Ou Yangming was once again subdued by the courtyard, which was built through generous efforts.

‘Exactly how mighty was the Ni family’s ancestor? I’m afraid Elder Universe is also far from him.’

A strange thought suddenly crossed Ou Yangming’s mind. ‘Could the Ni family’s ancestor have surpa.s.sed a Supreme Great Ancestor?’

Ou Yangming was delighted, then he slowly recollected himself. He delayed the process for a brief moment before he released his mental power at Ni Jingshen and his younger brother.

Sure enough, the great ancestors followed his instructions as they fully focused without having any distracting thoughts.
