Chapter 227 I Want To Kill The Spirit Beast

Ou Yangming’s face took on an extremely ghastly expression. By now, as foolish as he was, he knew the real reason the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors were so ambiguous and hesitant even after he put in so much effort.

The young fellow spared no effort in a.s.serting himself for Ni Yinghong.

Whether it was the smithing of magic tools, martial arts cultivation base, or the comprehension of nature, Ou Yangming vividly displayed his potential.

In actuality, in terms of the smithing of magic tools alone, he was already a priceless treasure.

As long as he said a word and was willing to provide a magic tool, even a formidable Supreme Great Ancestor would be willing to handle affairs for him.

Even so, once He Liangce visited, there was a 180-degree change in the Ni family’s great ancestors’ att.i.tudes. Although they did not reject Ou Yangming, the fact that they let him travel with He Liangce and Ni Yinghong into the dense forest was enough to show their standpoint.

Ou Yangming had been indignant about it for a long time and had cursed the great ancestors for being evil wolves that were never content with what they were given.

It was not until today when he finally realized that he had wronged the elders. If the great ancestors only considered their selfish desires or the benefits for their clan, they would not need to choose between Ou Yangming and He Liangce.

Nonetheless, in order to face the upcoming beast tide and to eliminate the spirit beast, which was so mighty that it was also feared by Elder Universe, the great ancestors were forced to make a different choice.

Ou Yangming did not know what to feel at that moment. It was inevitable for him to feel resentful toward the Ni family’s great ancestors, but he also vaguely admired them.

If he was in their shoes, could he have done the same?

“I heard that the He family’s eldest young master has come to the prefecture, so he’s probably the He family’s candidate for the Iron Blood Loyal Heart. Ah, among the ladies from the Ni family, that little girl is unquestionably the most outstanding one among her peers, so she probably can’t… Escape from the disaster,” Elder Universe stated with a deep voice.

“Senior, He Liangce only has the cultivation base of Yang Grade, and Elder Sister Ying’s cultivation base can be overlooked. Even if they join hands, I’m afraid that their effort will be to no avail, am I not right?” Ou Yangming curbed his thought and responded.

Elder Universe looked deeply at him and said, “You know, there’s a rule in the immense forest-a Human Supreme Great Ancestor can’t enter the forest. Do you know why?”

Ou Yangming shook his head. “I don’t.”

“It’s because the immense forest is mysterious and has endless magical effects. Once a Human Supreme Great Ancestor enters, his or her aura will be absorbed and be fed back to ferocious beasts in the forest, stimulating the birth of a batch of great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts.” Elder Universe chuckled. “This is why a Human great ancestor never steps foot in the immense forest unless the beast tide happens.”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he suddenly felt like the world is so huge that nothing could be too peculiar.

“The immense forest is ma.s.sive and is a shelter for the beasts, but the Humans have a secret technique to resist them,” Elder Universe continued and explained after a pause, “If the He family has a talented genius, who’s also a male, he would be taught a secret technique to increase his cultivation base to the peak of Yang Grade, then he would cultivate the Iron Blood Loyal Heart Art.” Ou Yangming blinked his eyes. He knew Elder Universe was talking about He Liangce.

“If the man successfully cultivates the Iron Blood Loyal Heart Art, his cultivation base will always be maintained at the peak of Yang Grade. He may continue to cultivate in the future, but he’ll never break through.”

“Is the strange technique going to be used against the spirit beast?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows.

“Yes.” Elder Universe sighed. “Once the beast tide bursts out, the Humans will dispatch soldiers to fight the ferocious beasts, whereas the He family’s man and the Ni family’s lady will be escorted by elites into the depths of the immense forest to locate the spirit beast.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Shoot the horse first to shoot the rider, capture the ringleader first to capture the bandits!”

“Heh, you’re quite smart, young fella.” Elder Universe could not help but laugh. “The spirit beast is the root of all sins, so unless it is slaughtered, the Humans won’t be able to live in peace.”

Ou Yangming nodded. “But I don’t understand-how can they slaughter the spirit beast?” He also thought to himself, ‘He Liangce and Ni Yinghong can’t even kill you, let alone a more powerful spirit beast.’

Elder Universe shook his head and explained, “Based on their respective cultivation base, they obviously can’t kill the spirit beast. However, once He Liangce detaches the Iron Blood Seal on his body, his cultivation base will instantly break through its shackles, allowing him to become a great ancestor. On top of that, his previously constrained potential will burst out and he’ll even arrive at the peak.”

“That’s impossible!” Ou Yangming widened his eyes.

He would believe it if the process could allow He Liangce to become a Supreme Great Ancestor, but he certainly did not think that the young master could arrive at the peak and become on par with Elder Universe.

“Heh.” Elder Universe sneered. “There are endless secret techniques in the world. This is the greatest secret technique that can be used to eliminate spirit beasts, so how is it impossible?”

Ou Yangming was speechless, and he figured that there must be a reason the secret technique was so highly antic.i.p.ated by many people. Furthermore, if the effect was not nature-defying, how could it be the ultimate killing weapon of the two counties to go fight the spirit beast?

Elder Universe added, “When the He family’s man advances to the peak of a great ancestor, the Ni family’s lady will activate a secret technique to stimulate her mental power and potential, which will be transformed into the richest essence for the man. The man will then absorb the essence to advance beyond the world’s limit, and he’ll become a superb powerhouse that can contend with the spirit beast.”

“The lady sacrifices for a n.o.ble cause. Does that mean she’ll die without her corpse intact?” Ou Yangming’s face darkened.

Elder Universe nodded. “You’re right; that’s the price that has to be paid by the Ni family’s lady. Every hundred years, someone has to sacrifice so that both counties can live in peace, and that Ni family will continue to stand tall for a thousand years.”
