Chapter 528 - Request (1/2)
Ou Yangming looked at Wu Yuanwei and asked, “Senior, have you started building the interspatial pa.s.sage?”
“Uh, where did you hear that from, Master Ou?” Wu Yuanwei’s face tensed up, and he asked seriously.
The young fellow was incredibly sharp, hence he even noticed a stern look in the elder’s eyes. If someone else had said what he did, perhaps Wu Yuanwei would have tortured that person cruelly, but the elder simply smiled bitterly at him.
Ou Yangming obviously would not tell Wu Yuanwei that he met Zhiming the Venerable One. He smiled faintly and answered, “I only heard very little about it.”
Wu Yuanwei shook his head and stopped looking into the matter. “Master Ou, since you know about it, I won’t say much. It’s being planned in the upper realm, but it’s definitely not easy to fulfill it. Having said that, if we’re able to lend a helping hand from the lower realm, not only will the success rate be extremely high, but the number of resources to be consumed will also be reduced by a huge margin.”
“Why is that?” Ou Yangming was curious.
The little red bird on his shoulder moved a bit and hid its head under its wings. It was not a strange move for a bird, but Ou Yangming somehow felt strange as though the little bird was ashamed of him.
Ou Yangming glared at it snappily. He was far from the little bird in terms of his understanding of interspatial power, but it did not have to make it so obvious.
Hong Feiyu’s eyes lit up as he was surprised. “You’re opening a pa.s.sage? You and the other clans are really planning big! Heh, but if you succeed, it’ll bring endless wealth, so it’s a profitable deal!”
Ou Yangming was moved. It seemed like some things were general knowledge for cultivators from the upper realm, but they were unreachable secrets for ordinary people in the lower realm.
This was related to a person’s environment. If one were surrounded by knowledgeable powerhouses, one would gain plenty of knowledge even without studying hard. Nonetheless, those pieces of knowledge were undiscoverable secrets for those that struggled for life.
Although Ou Yangming was top-notch in this realm, he lacked in terms of inheritance.
“Brother Hong, if everything goes well, we’ll need your help too.” Wu Yuanwei grinned and a.s.sured the man. “Don’t worry, we won’t let you suffer any loss regardless of the outcome.”
Hong Feiyu was about to agree to it when he remembered something. He glanced at Ou Yangming and responded with a smile, “Brother Wu, I’ve already wors.h.i.+pped Brother Ou. As long as he permits me, I’ll do my best.”
Wu Yuanwei’s eyelids flickered. Even though he had already found out about this through the intelligence he received, the fact that the Spirit Grade powerhouse said it himself gave such a strong impact that his heart trembled.
At this moment, even Wu Yuanwei could not help but wonder what exactly Ou Yangming’s charm was, such that many powerhouses were willing to follow him.
Putting aside Hong Feiyu, who was also a part of the Humans, what about the 3 spirit beasts?
Ou Yangming said with bright eyes, “Senior Wu, according to what I heard, the various families in the upper realm aren’t in peace too.”
Wu Yuanwei smiled bitterly. He did not want to hide this from the young fellow, thus he rejoined, “Master Ou, resources are always lacking. It’s fine if they’re distributed according to usual practice, but due to the interspatial disorder, it’s possible for a pa.s.sage to be built between the realms. Once the pa.s.sage is set up, the resources that’ll be gained in the future can’t be mentioned in the same breath as what we receive now, so the families are having a huge dispute for their own interests.”
The young fellow nodded. Wu Yuanwei’s words were easy to understand; the cake was only that big at first, and it was tasteless but would be a pity to be discarded. Therefore, the clans did not focus too much on it and only dealt with it temporarily.
Now that the cake suddenly had huge prospects, they would receive much more benefits from it than before.
Consequently, the clans could not sit still anymore. At the very least, they would not allow the Wu family to enjoy more benefits so easily.
Despite that, the Wu family had a different mentality. They contributed the most throughout the past millennium, so they were naturally going to claim the biggest share. Even if the cake became larger, the other families could only enjoy it according to their fixed proportions, and the rest belonged to the imperial family.
Where one stood depended on where one sat; this was probably where their dispute originated from. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming never wished he could solve everything, and he made it clear long ago that he did not want to get involved.
“Master Ou, if the pa.s.sage were to be built, the powerhouses from the upper realm must first find the lower realm’s specific location then use a super formation to lock on the s.p.a.ce between our realms. With that, the interspatial pa.s.sage can be stabilized through different methods,” Wu Yuanwei explained with a grim look on his face. He added after a pause, “The toughest part is to control the formation between the realms after the locating step.”
“Senior Wu, the locating step shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought.
“It’s exceptionally difficult for us, but it won’t be a problem for the Venerable Ones in the upper realm. Besides, the s.p.a.ce has become more stable now, so it’s much easier for them to bestow treasure on us.”
Ou Yangming nodded. As the distance between the realms changes, there were indeed many enormous changes.
Wu Yuanwei glanced at Ou Yangming and his companions, then he concluded solemnly, “I suggest we ignore the argument in the upper realm. Heh, as long as we can set up the formation that allows us to work with the upper realm and succeed in activating it, that’ll be enough.”
