On the vast wilderness, an enormous formation map was carved.
Ou Yangming had some understanding of formation maps and also formed fixed linked incantations similar to the Spirit-gathering Formation in his sea of consciousness.
Nonetheless, if he compared the knowledge in his mind with the formation map in front of him, it would be insignificant and not worth mentioning.
Even so, Ou Yangming was not shocked by the formation map because numerous images flowed deep in his sea of consciousness. They seemed to be formation maps too, but the vague maps gave him unimaginably immense pressure.
He had a feeling that if he displayed those formation maps, he could certainly crush the formation map in front of him at the moment.
Nevertheless, he obtained those images by prying Lil’ Red’s spiritual world, hence they were the Phoenixes’ lost studies. Based on his abilities thus far, he could not see how exactly they looked like, but the overflowing powers would be enough to suppress everything.
Apart from Ou Yangming and the little red bird, the other people were appalled.
This was because they could sense a wonderful yet forceful power being released from the formation map. The power had become one with the universe’s spiritual power and could not be compared by a single person’s power.
The people even had a hunch that if the formation map’s power was fully released, none of them could resist it even if it would cost their lives.
It was such a strong feeling that even Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were rather hesitant when they went closer to the map.
Seeing as everyone had gathered, Wu Yuanwei flashed to the center of the formation map and spoke loudly, “I suppose you understand why I’ve invited you here, am I right?”
Although not everyone present knew who Wu Yuanwei was, they could all sense his invincible momentum, thus they kept quiet after hearing what he said.
Ou Yangming looked around and spotted many old acquaintances.
The imperial family and the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties had joined hands this time, so other than the imperial family’s Supreme Great Ancestors, many such powerhouses from the 8 counties’ aristocratic families had come.
Wu Yuanwei turned to look at Ou Yangming and expressed with a smile, “Master Ou, I suddenly realized that it’s better for you to announce this.”
Ou Yangming was stunned, and he declined. “Senior Wu, you’re the Humans’ greatest powerhouse, so you should announce this.”
“Half of these Supreme Great Ancestors are under you.” Wu Yuanwei chuckled and waved his sleeves. “Master Ou, you don’t need to decline me. Please.”
“Yes, Teacher Ou, please.”
“Please give us the order, Teacher Ou.”
“We’ll obey you, Teacher Ou.”
Before Ou Yangming could turn it down again, many other voices were heard.
Wu Kangzhe was secretly shocked when he noticed the looks of respect on the Supreme Great Ancestors’ faces. Fortunately, Ou Yangming was destined to head to the Spiritual Realm. If a person like him stayed in the lower realm, the imperial family would definitely be worried and could not live in peace.
Ou Yangming shook his head. He did not want to waste any more time, so he asked, “Okay. Let me ask—have you heard of the upper realm?”
He did not try to hide anything and disclosed the Spiritual Realm in the most straightforward way. In particular, he emphasized the interspatial passage when he talked about it.
The people looked grim. Other than the Supreme Great Ancestors from the inherited aristocratic families, the other people only had superficial knowledge about everything being said. Therefore, countless people exclaimed when Ou Yangming revealed everything.
All of a sudden, someone questioned loudly, “Teacher Ou, if the interspatial passage is successfully built, will the Humans’ disaster still occur in the future?”
Ou Yangming grinned and answered, “The Beasts can still send spirit beasts to the lower realm during fixed times. If they insist on doing that, disasters will still be inevitable for the Humans.”
Everyone became much less enthusiastic, and many people furrowed their eyebrows.
Despite that, Ou Yangming suddenly changed the tone of his speech. “But if the passage is built, the Humans from the Spiritual Realm can send powerhouses to the lower realm at any time. Hehe, the Beasts don’t have an interspatial passage, so they must pay a huge price if they want to descend to the lower realm. On the other hand, once we have the passage, the price for our powerhouses to come to the lower realm will only be a billionth of theirs. I do hope that the Beasts will send more spirit beasts here, but I’m afraid that they won’t be willing to do that.” He smiled faintly.
The people were dumbfounded at first, but they soon burst out laughing.
Ou Yangming made it quite clear that the Humans’ disaster would not happen anymore in the future.
Even though the powerhouses present had become Supreme Great Ancestors, the higher their statuses, the greater their responsibilities, which they found it hard to express.
They would not stint at all if they could do everything they can in this aspect.
Another person went forward and asked, “Teacher Ou, if we help to build the interspatial passage, will we be exploited and extorted by the Spiritual Realm?”
Many people’s eyes flickered because the question was their main concern.
Ou Yangming sighed and answered, “Once both realms are connected, the Spiritual Realm will surely be given the priority first, so we must pay a certain price.”
“If that’s the case, why did you agree to do this, Teacher Ou?”
Wu Yuanwei opened his mouth but hesitated and finally decided to let Ou Yangming answer the question. This was because he was also curious about the young fellow’s response.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and explained, “We must pay a certain price once both realms are connected, but the outstanding figures from our realm will also stand a chance to rise to the Spiritual Realm. I hope that those that can enter the Spiritual Realm will cultivate as much as possible. If we’re able to one day gain a firm foothold over there and become successful, let’s give back to our realm and eliminate all unequal treaties.” He looked dignified as he spoke.
His voice was loud and powerful, causing the people’s blood to boil.
Wu Yuanwei, Wu Kangzhe, and the others were moved too, and they could not help but praise the young fellow internally.
The Wu family had indeed inherited a branch from the Spiritual Realm, but they became rooted in the lower realm with the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties for a millennium. While they still revered the Spiritual Realm, they were already on the other side long ago.
Having said that, they knew very well how fearsome the Spiritual Realm was, so they never dared to express their real thoughts.
Once the two realms were connected, without a doubt, the lower realm’s wealth would be extorted by the Spiritual Realm.
If that was not the case, why would the Spiritual Realm spend plenty of resources to open the interspatial passage as though they had nothing better to do?
The powerhouses from the lower realm would not be willing to do this if it was possible. However, if they refused to do so, the next Humans’ disaster might be the end of their race.
Hence, they could only bite the bullet and consented to it. That said, now that Ou Yangming shouted and set a new target, the powerhouses’ eyes lit up.
‘Yes, what’s the point of us talking so much over here? We might as well work hard and strive for a spot in the Spiritual Realm. By the time we hold stable positions and the timing is right, we might really be able to give back to our realm.’
At the spur of the moment, everyone looked at Ou Yangming differently, and they thought, ‘It’s truly unbelievable that this young fella has such an aspiration.’
Nonetheless, they did not know that while they dared not resist the formidable powerhouses from the Spiritual Realm because they were heavily pressured, Ou Yangming had a phoenix on his side. It was a young phoenix, but why would it care about ordinary human powerhouses?
Ou Yangming was only so confident because he was influenced by the little red bird.
When one stood at a different height, one would see different views. Ou Yangming only had such a heroic spirit because he had an incredibly invincible backing, which was the Phoenixes.
Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk exchanged glances. They were both dazed.
They naturally knew how potent the Spiritual Realm’s powerhouses were because they came from that realm, and they were also aware of how much the upper realm was exploiting the lower realm. Nevertheless, when they thought about Ou Yangming’s amazing advancement and looked at the lazy little red bird, they had a vague feeling that the young fellow’s wish might come true.
Ou Yangming turned around and uttered, “Senior, let’s begin.”
Wu Yuanwei nodded and instructed the people, “Alright, let’s identify our spots and get into position.”
“Boom, boom.”
“Shriek…”
Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk entered the formation map. It was worth noting that massive adjustments were done to the formation so that the beasts could unleash their powers. With the powers of the 2 experienced Extreme Grade powerhouses, the mission’s success rate would be greatly increased.
Ou Yangming gently waved his hand and entered the formation map with Hong Feiyu and Wu Yuanwei, then they sat on their assigned spots. Following that, Big Yellow walked proudly to its designated seat too.
While the formation map could be activated by only 5 Spirit Grade powerhouses and 1,000 Supreme Great Ancestors, the count might not be fixed.
As soon as the 6 Extreme Grade powerhouses took their seats, a vague aura was released from the formation map, and it began to linger around them.
The core of the formation map was the Spirit Grade powerhouses. As for the supports, it would be fine as long as there were over 1,000 Supreme Great Ancestors. Needless to say, the more the great ancestors, the better. Therefore, every great ancestor present in the capital entered the formation map without any hesitation.
As the aura surged, a deafening sound was heard. Subsequently, an intense light was seen in the formation map, and it enveloped everyone at once.
At this moment, a spot in the endless sky glowed. It looked like a star in a dark sky, and it instantly became the most dazzling star.
In the Spiritual Realm, several human Venerable Ones on Mount Wuzhi in Danzhou were elated.
They knew the movement in the lower realm and were well-prepared, but they did not expect the light to be so bright.
“Start building the passage!”
“Okay!”
The moment 9 Venerable Ones activated the formation map, a peculiar power was released from their location into the endless space.
It was then when a bloody color suddenly appeared in another dark area.
“It’s coming!”
“Yes! Finish the preparations and don’t make any mistakes!”
“Don’t worry, hahaha…”
