Chapter 780: True Path Intent

“Rumble!” A thunderous sound was heard.

For the people below, it sounded like there was a sudden clap of thunder. It was worth noting that the mountaintop had shaken twice due to the repercussion.

Tiandao the Venerable One had a strange look on his face when he sensed the intense fluctuation, but he was also helpless. The other people did not know who the white-robed elder was, but he knew very well.

Master Kurong—the greatest human powerhouse in Danzhou.

The only thing was that Master Kurong’s life was reaching an end for the past century, where his Qi and blood were extremely weak, hence he dared not exchange blows with equal-ranked powerhouses. Now that the elder had consumed an Eternal Pill, he was born again through the fire and regained vitality.

He was anxious to display his skills at the moment, so he wanted to fight against equal-ranked powerhouses. ‘Forget it—I shouldn’t be a busybody,’ Tiandao the Venerable One thought.

A grey-clothes man was standing with his hands behind his back next to Tiandao the Venerable One. He was a top-grade Spiritualist. At this moment, the man took half a step forward with his right leg and was about to explain something when he was stopped by the Venerable One as soon as he stepped out.

It was clear that Tiandao the Venerable One was displeased.

Fang Kaiyou smiled embarrassedly and withdrew his leg.

In the sky, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One sensed an incredibly intense vibration.

The vibration hit its fingers first to reach its arms, then it was transmitted to its chest through its veins, and it finally reached its organs until every cell inside its body was covered. When everything vibrated together, it seemed like the Venerable One’s flesh and blood could be stirred up together.

Consequently, despite having a body that was numerous times tougher than fine steel, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not help but shiver. It was appalled, and it sighed as it wondered, ‘What fist technique is this? It isn’t forceful, but it can strangely make every part of my body vibrate at the same time.

It took a few hurried breaths to force itself to adjust its Qi movement, which allowed it to suppress the vibration.

The white-robed elder did not have it any better; his Qi and blood were surging due to the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s punch.

He lamented, ‘I’m afraid that it’ll be able to find its path soon. Indeed, it’s the greatest beast powerhouse in Danzhou.’

The white-robed elder’s moves changed swiftly. The seemingly simple sword techniques of stabbing, chopping, stirring, and lifting looked magical when they were performed by him. Each technique had a pleasant lingering effect with numerous follow-up tricks. If one was careless, one would suffer ferocious attacks continuously. In a fight between 2 people, they would be very dangerous as every trick had a hidden mystery.

Yuqi the Venerable One, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, and the old macaque employed their body techniques to form a circle. They attacked together with great chemistry as they kept compressing the white-robed elder’s range.

Nonetheless, even when the 3 Venerable Ones joined hands, the white-robed elder still had a slight upper hand. He changed from going on offense to defense, where he kept raising his hands to fend off their attacks perfectly.

Every trick that he used was out of expectation but reasonable.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One punched from an unbelievable angle without leaving a trace. Upon seeing this, Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque were sharp-eyed enough to attack from different directions at the same time.

A rare look of admiration could be seen on the white-robed elder’s face, but nobody noticed it due to the clouds and mist around him.

He bent forward and descended abruptly to dodge the joint attack, then he charged forward in an overbearing stance and stabbed with his longsword.

Given that the elder single-handedly confronted the 3 Venerable Ones, he was so mighty that Mao Jianbi was shocked. The great elder wondered, ‘Who exactly is this Venerable One? Isn’t he too powerful? I can’t believe that he still dares to confront the 3 Venerable Ones when he’s being sieged by them.’

Tiandao the Venerable One’s eyes flickered as he sighed. ‘Master Kurong’s worthy of being Danzhou’s greatest human powerhouse indeed.’

As for the 3 ladies from the lower realm, they had never seen anything like that. They opened their mouths as though they had just seen a deity, and looks of shock could be seen on their delicate faces. It was a unique yet beautiful view.

The 3 ladies sighed at the same time and looked at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming was seen closing his eyes as he held a bamboo stick and kept stabbing it in the air as if he was scribbling. His hand began to move faster and almost turned into an afterimage, whereas a breeze lingered around his legs.

The 3 ladies had complicated looks in their eyes as they thought, ‘Has he arrived at such a stage?

‘It seems like there’s a natural moat between us. Can I still stay by your side?’

Countless figures were flashing quickly in Ou Yangming’s spiritual world at this moment. If he looked closely, he could see that they were the white-robed elder, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, the old macaque, and Yuqi the Venerable One. The 4 of them exchanged blows and were entangled with each other in an intense fight. While observing their movements, the young fellow followed suit and improved a little every time. As time passed, he had completely gotten rid of his bad habits and flaws in combat.

If one could see his spiritual world at the moment and compare it with the figure that kept flashing with a bamboo stick at the peak, one would know.

The 2 figures were making the same moves at the same time.

By using the bamboo stick as his spear, every stab made by Ou Yangming was cold and of great momentum.

This move ought to have adopted the ruthless element of spear techniques by advancing courageously and stubbornly, where one must attack without any hesitation and be fast and merciless to leave no room of maneuver for one’s enemy. Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered in a brilliant luster as he prodded the bamboo stick forward fiercely and coldly.

His next move happened to be the opposite of his previous move. It focused on using skill to strike power, utilizing a point to hit an area, making use of speed to get the upper hand, and working 4 taels to shit 500 kilograms of power. As soon as a sound was heard, the young fellow’s bamboo stick bent down against common sense and became very soft. It was constantly changing, causing the air around it to be unloaded in an ingenious way.

Every technique confirmed and compared with each other.

Ou Yangming’s martial arts cultivation base had improved unbelievably!

When Mao Jianbi and the others looked at the afterimage on the peak, they felt a dangerous aura. The great elder looked dejected as he remarked bitterly, “Master Ou’s simply a freak!”

On the other hand, Old Craftsman was glad. He was old, but he was in high spirits and wanted the whole world to know that he was Ou Yangming’s master.

Any old person would have such a thought, by which one would like to compare with other people about whose son had a more promising future. Although Ou Yangming was not Old Craftsman’s biological son, the old man regarded him to be his closest kinship. The old man’s face was covered with wrinkles as he beamed happily and thought, ‘Ah, my life was worth it.’

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire lit up in his spiritual world, so much so that even sunlight appeared to be darker in front of the fire. A heat that could burn everything spread out from the light while hints of red light undulated outward like ripples. One of the lights even flowed down directly from the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and assimilated into the young fellow’s spear technique. Concurrently, a devouring power also entered the spear without a sound.

Ou Yangming held his breath in deep concentration. He suppressed his scattering thoughts and concealed his spirit and Qi.

With that, his heart calmed down like an ice lake. Everything that he had learned thus far merged with the techniques earlier like a furnace between Heaven and Earth.

A boundless and distant starry sky was the only thing left in Ou Yangming’s mind, where mysterious veined patterns emerged. Eventually, he entered a state of subtle bliss such that he first forgot about himself, then the things around him, and simply everything in the world.

Without warning, a breathtaking spear technique appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind as though he was struck by good luck. It went from simple to complex and back! As the process repeated, he kept practicing it in his mind. The technique was continuously kneaded and mixed, and a true path intent reverberated. Following that, the young fellow opened his eyes. An illusory spear burst out from his eyes as if a true dragon had been born. Due to the great momentum that burst out, even the figures of the Venerable Ones in the sky had paled into insignificance. This did not mean that the spear technique could be compared with the Venerable Ones’ strengths, but path intent—true path intent—circled it.

Since Ou Yangming comprehended the technique through his “spear”, which was also circled by path intent, he simply named it the Path Intent Spear.

“Kill!” Ou Yangming yelled. A dazzling light flashed in his eyes, so the others dared not look straight at him in the eye.

As he leaned forward, he was already holding a spear, which he stabbed at the sky. “Boom!” An earth-shattering spear-light soared into the sky. It was about 33-meters long, and it seemed like every obstacle in its way including its fate that confined it and the shackles that controlled it would be crushed in a split second. Everything that was hit by the spear would turn into ashes because it contained a true path intent.

The wind stopped and the peak was dead silent.

It was as though everything paused unconventionally, where everyone could only see the impressive spear.

In fact, even the 4 Venerable Ones that were fighting intensely in the sky stopped in sync…

The Venerable Ones stared at each other for some time. At last, the old macaque broke the silence by expressing enviously, “Master Ou actually managed to apprehend a hint of path conception when he’s only a Spiritualist—I envy his fate.”

Moreover, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One gasped as well. “Very few Venerable Ones can even fathom path intent; even I haven’t perceived it yet. If I’m able to grasp a hint of true path intent, I’m sure I’ll be able to take that step.”

The white-robed elder was surprised when he looked at Ou Yangming. He shook his head with a smile and thought, ‘This is what extraordinary talent looks like.’

At the peak, the fantastic spear seemed to have become permanent and fixated to everyone else.

The 3 ladies curled up their tongues without their mouths opened, and their hearts stopped beating as the scene earlier had been imprinted in their souls. When they stared dumbfoundedly at Ou Yangming’s back view, they felt that he had a fascinating temperament at the moment. It would not be too much to describe him as a peerless figure of this generation; he was simply dazzling and charming.

After some time, the white-robed elder slowly came back to his senses. He stroked his beard gently and looked fervently at Ou Yangming.

‘Ah, good fella, my bitter fight wasn’t in vain since you managed to comprehend a hint of path conception from our fight.’ The elder could not help but lament as it was a rare experience for him to witness a junior apprehending true path intent.

The white-robed elder shook his head and sighed. His body suddenly released a shining green light, which caused a green wave to undulate. As such, sprouts grew from the plants on the peak while flowers bloomed and were full of life. In particular, some dead branches even grew leaves. This was… Withered trees were coming to life again!

Upon seeing this, a stormy sea surged in the old macaque’s heart. Its face changed as it shouted, “Master Kurong!”
