Chapter 1199: The Soul-sucking Art

‘Master Ou’s an alchemist as well?’

In the past 2 days, news of Ou Yangming’s alchemy had also spread, which made the elders of the Seven Stars Pavilion even more shocked.

Not only was he a blacksmith master but in just a few days, he had also revealed his identity as an alchemist.

Alchemists and blacksmiths were equally rare in the Great Wide World. It was already very impressive to be proficient in one of them. Not only had Ou Yangming reached the highest level in smithing, but he could even refine pills. Moreover, according to the direct disciples, the grade of the pills was not low.

‘What kind of monster is he? Is Master Ou trying to defy the heavens?’

When the elders of the Seven Stars Pavilion planned to pay their respects again, they discovered that Ou Yangming had once again hidden in the library. Everyone waited outside the library for a few days, but he still did not come out.

“What’s Master Ou doing inside?”

“What’s so good about those books? With Master Ou’s strength, he should be able to finish reading them in a few days. Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

Everyone was very curious.

It had already been a week, but Ou Yangming was still in the library. Everyone could not suppress their curiosity. They sent someone to inquire and received news from the library’s elder that Master Ou was interested in the strange book in their library and was planning to crack it.

Crack the strange book? What kind of joke was that? Who had so much mental power to waste?

How could the elders not know about the strange book in the library? Almost everyone had suffered a loss from that strange book.

At first, they thought it was some rare treasure and carefully protected it. In the end, 30,000 years had passed, and the disciples of the Seven Stars Pavilion had changed many times. The people were tricked one after another. No one could crack the strange book at all.

Everyone had long given up on it.

In their opinion, that book was probably deliberately created by some mighty figure to disgust people. It did not harm one’s body, but the process to recover one’s mental power was also a troublesome matter.

Knowing that Master Ou had become interested in that strange book, everyone was still very happy. With this, he could stay in the Seven Stars Pavilion for a few more days. As time passed, the friendship between them would naturally come…

Everyone tactfully did not disturb him.

Ou Yangming did not appear for a few days. Soon, the news that he was interested in the strange book in the library spread throughout the Seven Stars Pavilion.

When many people heard this news, they all laughed out loud, thinking that he was asking for trouble. That thing had not been comprehended by anyone for 30,000 years. Even if he was a genius, it was impossible for him to deal with it.

Moreover, everyone knew that Ou Yangming was serious. The medicinal pills that he refined in the courtyard had also been found out. They were Grade 5 medicinal pills, Recovery Pills.

Hearing the name of the medicinal pills, many people were amazed. As expected of a genius. Grade 5 medicinal pills were very rare. Only famous alchemists could refine them.

Ou Yangming’s life these few days was very monotonous.

He wasted his mental power on the strange book. When his mental power was almost depleted, he would eat a Recovery Pill and rest for a few hours.

The Recovery Pills’ effect was fierce. After a few hours, his mental power would recover. Then, he would once again look at the strange book.

This cycle repeated itself. Ou Yangming firmly believed that this strange book would be filled with his mental power. By then, he would be able to read the contents of the book.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not know how long it would take. At least, he had persevered for such a long time. He could not give up so easily.

“Again!”

Ou Yangming stood up, and his mental power had recovered to its peak condition again.

When the elder of the library saw Ou Yangming eating the Recovery Pills like he was eating beans, his eyelids twitched, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

According to the value, a Grade 5 medicinal pill was not much different from a Grade 6 spiritual herb, and it was very precious. Wasting such pills on the strange book like this made the elder feel regretful.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not care about this, and he continued to persevere.

Half a month had passed, and there were only a few hundred Recovery Pills left. Ou Yangming did not give up, and the people in the outside world thought that he had gone mad.

Even Li Daoyi personally came to persuade Ou Yangming, but the young fellow did not give up.

He firmly believed that he would succeed. This was the intuition of a blacksmith master. The book was strange, but it was also refined. He believed in his feelings.

After using up the hundred Recovery Pills, Ou Yangming finally felt that something was different. This strange book absorbed his mental power much more slowly just like a sponge that was full of water.

“Soon, it must be soon.”

Ou Yangming was abnormally excited. He quickly stepped out of the library and soon, everyone smelled the fragrance of the pills again. This time, the young fellow did not waste time. After quickly refining 2 batches of Recovery Pills, he returned to the library again.

The onlookers outside were very surprised. ‘Could it be that Master Ou has really gone crazy?’

Of course, Ou Yangming had not gone mad. He was abnormally clear-headed at this moment. The speed at which the strange book absorbed his mental power had dropped sharply as if it had eaten too much.

Ou Yangming was certain that it was about to collapse.

As expected, after eating only 3 Recovery Pills, a golden light suddenly flashed on the strange book. Ou Yangming’s mind was shaken, and he hurriedly released his mental power.

A few big words appeared in the book: “Transcending reincarnation, the Immortal Path to Heaven.”

These big words dazzled his eyes.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes. When he opened them again, an image appeared in his mind. In the void of a starry sky, a light pillar descended from the sky. It was unknown which world the light pillar came from.

Under this light pillar, many powerhouses were fighting crazily. Their target was the crystal-shaped treasures that flew out from the light pillar.

A demon powerhouse had snatched one of the blue crystal pieces. Before he could be happy, many killing moves had landed on his body.

That person fell to the ground but with a smile on his face.

Everyone seemed to be crazy. No one knew where the treasures came from. They seemed to only have one belief, and that was that they had to snatch one of the treasures…

The people who participated in the battle were very mighty. Second-step powerhouses were ordinary. Ou Yangming could feel that there were many powerhouses who had reached the third step.

There were even existences that had surpassed the third step. Ou Yangming saw a man wearing a blue robe. After snatching a piece of crystal, the man quickly flew into the sky. The light on the crystal token in his hand fused with the light in the sky. His body disappeared from the strange passage.

What exactly was the Immortal Path to Heaven? What were those mysterious treasures? Why did it attract so many powerhouses to fight over them?

Ou Yangming did not know. He just firmly remembered the name in his heart.

The strange book turned into powder and disappeared. At the same time, a special cultivation technique appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind.

It was the Soul-sucking Art.

This was the name of the cultivation technique. The creator of this strange book had recorded this cultivation technique in it. Ou Yangming carefully recalled for a moment and roughly understood its function.

The Soul-sucking Art was the top mental power attack technique in the universe.

Ou Yangming retracted his gaze. The elder in the library was dumbstruck.

‘The strange book is actually gone?’

They had used countless methods but were unable to destroy the strange ancient book. Now, it had turned into ashes.

Ou Yangming came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry. I’ve broken your treasure. I’ll compensate you.”

“Master Ou, don’t mind it.” The Seven Stars Pavilion’s elder said hurriedly.

“The strange book is useless to us. Master Ou, you’re a friend of the Seven Stars Pavilion. Don’t worry about such a small matter. I’ll report it to the head later.”

Ou Yangming felt ashamed. There was an image hidden in this strange book, as well as a magical mental power cultivation method. It must be because he saw the contents of it that this strange book turned into ashes.

He was thinking of passing the Soul-sucking Art to the Seven Stars Pavilion but just as this thought arose, the contents of the cultivation method in his mind disappeared completely.

After the thought disappeared, it reappeared again.

Ou Yangming had a strange look on his face. He did not know how that almighty being did it, but this art could not be passed on.

In this way, Ou Yangming could only compensate the Seven Stars Pavilion in other aspects. He had only taken a few glances at the Soul-sucking Art, and he could already feel how powerful it was.

The mental power art was certainly top-tier even in the entire Great Wide World.

Ou Yangming apologized again and stepped out of the library, looking somewhat worried.

‘What did the words in the strange book mean? Could it be that finding the mysterious Immortal Path to Heaven would allow one to transcend reincarnation?

‘Also, what were the mysterious crystal pieces that flew out of the light? Why could they attract so many top-tier powerhouses to fight for their lives?’

The ancient book had existed in the Seven Stars Pavilion for more than 30,000 years. As for when it was refined, no one knew. The scene in the starry sky seemed to be from countless years ago, but Ou Yangming felt a little uneasy in his heart.

‘The Immortal Path to Heaven!’ Ou Yangming repeated it in his heart several times.

Outside the library, more than 10 elders of the Seven Stars Pavilion looked at Ou Yangming’s dejected appearance, and they laughed internally. ‘He has given up in the end, right? Could that strange book be comprehended so easily?’

“It seems that Master Ou has been quite disgusted, and he doesn’t seem to be in good spirits,” A few direct disciples discussed softly.

“Nonsense, your mental power has been absorbed by the strange book more than 100 times, and you’re probably even worse off. Master Ou did pretty well.”

“Even Master Ou can’t do it. I wonder how long the book will be in the Seven Stars Pavilion. 10,000 years or 100,000 years?”

“Even if our lifespans are up, it’ll definitely still exist. After all, that book was meant to disgust us, unless you can destroy it.”

“What a joke. How can I destroy it? Even our great elder doesn’t have that ability!”

Seeing Ou Yangming’s expression, an elder walked over and said, “Master Ou, you don’t have to be sad. This is within expectations.”

“I’m not sad; I’m just a little tired. In any case, I’m really sorry for destroying that ancient book,” Ou Yangming said with a bitter face.

“What? That strange book was destroyed?”

Hearing this, the elder’s face was filled with shock. The surrounding people quickly surrounded him.

“How could it be? How could that thing be broken…”
