Snowflakes flew with the winds while the northern wind whistled.
The thunder clouds that were blacker than the bottom of a pot slowly dispersed from the sky and revealed a dim sky. As for Multi-armed King Kong, electric lights intertwined on its body and made crackling sounds.
After a brief moment, the electric arcs went away while the king kong's momentum rose as though there was no limit to it.
As it slowly stopped at the level for a Venerable One in the early stage, an overbearing momentum was released. While it stirred up strong winds, the gravel, and the plants around crumbled. Moreover, the snow became heavier while the winds blew faster.
Black smokes were rising from the Earthly Formation Boards that were set up around Multi-armed King Kong. The veined patterns on them were blurred out, so much so that some even turned into black powder.
The spirit beasts that lay on the ground due to their fear against the Heavenly Disaster earlier seemed to have had their guts and powers sucked dry from them. As such, their bodies were weak, and they could not get up at all.
Multi-armed King Kong did not hurry to get up. It closed its eyes and carefully experienced the changes in its body, where its aura was surging continuously like an ocean. In particular, the spiritual Qi inside its dantian became several times richer. Furthermore, the king kong's understanding of the universe's path grew deeper at an unbelievable speed, and it unknowingly comprehended the obscure secret techniques that were difficult to apprehend before.
When the old macaque sensed the surging aura, it was deeply moved, and it chuckled."10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, congratulations! Now, the 10, 000 Beasts Ridge gained another Venerable One, which overcame 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts and triggered the universe's anomaly. It has a promising future, and it might be able to take that step in the future!"
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One could not hide its joy at all. It laughed out loud and cupped its hands at the macaque."It's all thanks to the Earthly Formation Boards and Thunderbolt-resistant Suit that were refined by Master Ou. If not, given that the sixth Heavenly Thunderbolt's power is the accumulated power from the 5 thunderbolts before it and is incredibly fearsome, as gifted as King Kong is, it couldn't have conquered it." It paused for a moment then smiled bitterly before it continued, "As for that step, how could it be taken so easily? After all, even Master Kurong, who's the greatest human powerhouse in Danzhou, has merely found his path."
Following that, it bowed slightly at Ou Yangming and did a fist salutation."Master Ou, thank you!" It was being very sincere.
Ou Yangming immediately shifted half a step to the side to avoid it, then he returned the salutation and said, "Multi-armed King Kong acknowledged me as its master, so it's within my duty to refine the formation boards and Thunderbolt-resistant Suit for it."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One sighed and thought, 'Indeed, as long as one gets involved with that race, even the slightest benefit that one gains from them is considered an unimaginably shocking good fortune. ' It was extremely glad about the choice that Multi-armed King Kong made in the past, and it was proud of the king kong. On the other hand, the 3 ladies had different looks in their eyes. It was a fortuitous opportunity that they were able to witness the birth of a Venerable One.
At the spur of the moment, Multi-armed King Kong opened its eyes abruptly in the wind and snow, causing a luster to be released, where explosions were continuously heard within about 33 meters from it. In fact, the soil in that area lowered by roughly 6 meters while snowflakes flew upward and covered the king kong's mountainous body.
The old macaque looked at Multi-armed King Kong and smiled. It was deeply moved.
When it exhaled cold air from its mouth, a bunch of frost flowers appeared in front of it."Back when I just became a Venerable One, the same thing happened. The spiritual power inside my body increased too much, so the ground cracked when I took a step. Almost a millennium passed in the blink of an eye. Now that I'm witnessing this again, it's really interesting."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One cast a gentle look at Multi-armed King Kong and sighed."Yes, as far as I remember, King Kong's still a playful troublemaker. Look, it became a Venerable One and can act on its own now. Years can't be measured indeed."
Afterward, it took brisk steps toward Multi-armed King while looking proud.
Once it focused, it noticed the closely packed thunderbolt marks that interlaced into a net on the king kong's Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.
'It's such a pity that a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit that can absorb 70% of the Heavenly Disaster's power is destroyed just like that. ' The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One sighed, then it lifted its right hand to gently touch one of the marks at the bottom of the suit.
It was then when it sensed a numb feeling.
The numbness came from a jumping rune, hence it exclaimed as it was surprised, "The Thunderbolt-resistant Suit hasn't lost its spiritual charm completely?"
Upon hearing this, the old macaque's face changed. It questioned in a high-pitch voice, "How's that possible? There were 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts!"
The previous scene where the red thunderbolt transformed into a scaled dragon was deeply engraved in its mind. It was also appalled by the power, which was why it was so surprised.
"Yes, 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts!" The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One uttered calmly, but a strange look could be seen in its eyes. It lamented, 'He's indeed worthy of being the greatest blacksmith below Venerable Blacksmiths in Danzhou. '
After some time, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One forced itself to suppress the shock and turned to look at Multi-armed King Kong. It noted, "King Kong, you've just become a Venerable One, so you're still not familiar with your forceful power. Once you stabilize your boundary, you'll be able to control your power in detail like before."
Multi-armed King Kong nodded. It later removed the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and packed it up seriously.
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One smiled as it watched. 'King Kong has finally grown up. ' Other than feeling delighted, it was also feeling a little melancholy.
It shook its head, then it tapped Multi-armed King Kong's solid shoulder and said, "Go on, I know you have something to say to Master Ou!"
Multi-armed King Kong did not try to be pretentious. It stepped on the ground, causing the ground to shake. After taking one leap to reach Ou Yangming, it put on an honest smile and expressed, "Master, meeting you is my greatest fortune!" It sounded sincere and was not unwilling at all. It was true that the king kong was forced by Lil Red to acknowledge Ou Yangming as its master, which was why it resisted it in the beginning, but it was exceptionally proud of its identity at the moment.
Ou Yangming waved his hand. He looked at the humongous king kong and scolded it jokingly, "Why are you being so unnatural in front of me?" He thought to himself, 'I wonder how much more formidable King Kong is as compared to ordinary Venerable Ones since it overcame 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts. I'm looking forward to it. '
The King Kong touched its head. Instead of being resolute and domineering like it was during the disaster, it was feeling uneasy at this moment.
Big Yellow opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, revealing its sharp white teeth. It lifted its right paw and held a fist before it pushed it forward.
Multi-armed King Kong blinked and looked like it knew what Big Yellow was trying to do. It gently knocked its hill-sized fist against the big yellow dog's right paw.
The old macaque's clothes rustled in the wind. It grinned as it watched from afar, then it turned and suddenly noticed an old jade board below the shattered formation boards.
Once the old macaque raised its right hand, a white light flashed, then a suction force burst out from its palm, causing the jade board to fly toward it like a silver light. When the macaque later grabbed the air with its right hand, it was already holding the jade board in its hand with a grave look on its face.
After some time, it looked away from the jade board and asked Ou Yangming probingly, "Master Ou, is this a hub?"
Ou Yangming was taken aback. He lamented, "Elder Macaque, you're knowledgeable indeed, and I'm in admiration. I know very little about formations, so I can only set up formation boards, but their power's barely satisfactory. When I went to the Beyond Heaven Pavilion to search for peculiar stones beyond this world, I accidentally saw a Light-gathering Formation Map in the underground palace. It uses formation boards as its foundation and a hub as its key, where the hub connects all of the formation boards as a whole unit. I fathomed something after I saw that, so I tried it out this time. Sure enough, the formation boards became 30 to 40% more powerful, but I didn't mention it because this is still in a testing phase. Please forgive me, Elder Macaque."
Multi-armed King Kong noted, "No wonder I didn't feel any obstructions when I activated the Earthly Formation Boards, where it felt like they became a body. Turns out that this is the reason behind it."
The old macaque's eyes gleamed. It felt that the jade board in its hand was heavy, and it had a rare hurried look on its face."Master Ou, if you're able to set up big formations with formation boards in the future, I hope that you'll set up a Big Mountain-guarding Formation for the Beast King Sect!" It slowly lowered its voice and flushed. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming responded with a smile, "Elder Macaque, don't worry. Of course, I'll do it."
"Master Ou, don't forget about the 10, 000 Beasts Ridge too." The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One dragged out the words on purpose.
Other people would be surprised if they saw how the Venerable Ones were acting. It would be fine if the Venerable Ones spoke to the blacksmith as if they were peers, but they sounded like they were fawning over the young fellow.
The piercing winds blew such that one's face would ache, but they could not affect cultivators at all.
After conversing for a while more, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One looked around and said with a smile, "Master Ou, Elder Macaque, King Kong and I still have something to talk about, so we'll be making a move first."
The old macaque knew the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One was definitely going to pass on the 10, 000 Beasts Ridge's secret technique to Multi-armed King Kong.
Back when the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One fought against Li Xin, the secret technique that it used was shocking. In particular, the part where it transformed 3 illusory figures into a big red ax could probably give even Master Kurong a headache.
The macaque nodded with a smile."Alright, we'll be returning to the Beast King Sect first then!"
With that, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One lifted its head slightly and cried into the air, then it transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky. Multi-armed King Kong followed suit, and it was only a little slower.
The heavy snow flew like pear flowers fluttering in the wind, causing the ground to be wrapped in silver and white.
All of a sudden, the old macaque breathed out the murky air in its chest and sighed."Master Ou, I didn't think that you could set up a formation using such a technique."
Ou Yangming walked forward while the 3 ladies followed beside him. Together, they left a row of footsteps on the ground. The young fellow looked at the old macaque and replied to it, "It was only a cheap trick that I used, so it can't be considered a formation. Frankly speaking, I haven't even come into contact with a real formation yet."
The old macaque followed leisurely behind him and spoke as though it had seen through the vicissitudes of life."I've read from an ancient book that the path of formations is broad and profound but unfortunately, lesser and lesser inheritances are being left behind now."
Soon enough, the snow became heavier, and their back views became indistinct until they eventually disappeared in the blizzard.
