Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 454 – Scale Rune

Chapter 454 Scale Rune

“Goshawk, I can also use this method to try to advance, right?” Ou Yangming suddenly asked.

The goshawk was clearly stunned, but it soon replied to him with a bitter smile, “Master, theoretically, you can, but I dare not do that. You’ll be able to take that step if you cultivate well, so why are you in a hurry to succeed?”.

Ou Yangming looked quietly at the goshawk and understood what it meant.

Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk did not really care if the big yellow took a risk, but they would not agree if he were to do the same.

Even if he was more confident about facing the Heavenly Thunderbolt, they would not approve it.

“Okay, go ahead and teach Big Yellow the ability.” Ou Yangming sighed and hesitated before he asked, “Can I watch from the side?”

“Of course,” the goshawk answered right away.

The secret technique was considered a high-level one among the Birds, such that not all spirit birds were qualified to learn it. Nonetheless, given Ou Yangming’s identity, none of the birds would disallow him from watching every secret technique they learned since they were born, let alone this particular secret technique.

Following that, the goshawk nodded and muttered to the big yellow dog.

Its voice was extremely strange throughout as though it adopted a peculiar skill. As such, Big Yellow was puzzled and in confusion.

“Do you understand?” The goshawk asked after it finished explaining once.

The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue and panting with a flattering look on its face. It was no longer heroic like when it faced the Heavenly Thunderbolt.

“I don’t think I understood. Can you explain it again?”

The goshawk was slightly stunned and was doubtful.

After seeing the Heavenly Thunderbolt that the big yellow dog drew to advance further, it instantly suspected that the dog had an unordinary background. For all it knew, the yellow dog inherited a bloodline that had not been perceived by its kind yet. Nevertheless, how could it be so dumb if it inherited a certain bloodline?

The goshawk wanted to reject the big yellow dog, but it cast aside that thought when it glanced at Ou Yangming, who seemed to be deep in thoughts. At worst, it would repeat itself several times as if it was lecturing the idiots in its clan.

With that, the goshawk calmed down and opened its mouth to let out the odd scale notations again.

The Birds and the Beasts were different in nature. The former had wings to fly in the sky so normally, if they comprehended some spells or abilities and wanted to show them, they would not gesture with their wings or claws. The birds would describe them in strange scales, which was a partial manifestation of their potency.

Even so, it would not be easy for the big yellow dog to understand the Birds’ spells.

Although the Birds and the Beasts were not humans, the division was made from the Humans’ perspective.

From the Birds’ and the Beasts’ point of view, the Humans were categorized to be the same as the other races; they were all known as the Others.

Ou Yangming was slightly moved. He was calm and did not listen on purpose when the goshawk described the spell for the first time. The ability was passed on from the goshawk to the big yellow dog, after all, thus he would be rather embarrassed to secretly learn it.

Having said that, Ou Yangming could not hold back anymore when then goshawk described it the second time.

He focused and quietly listened to the goshawk. Something unbelievable happened-his mental power suddenly boiled when he paid attention and listened. It felt like something activated his mental power, causing it to surge and fluctuate.

Needless to say, it was not that his mental power was going to revolt. It only turned into monstrous waves and fluctuated at a certain frequency.

The sharp Ou Yangming noticed that the fluctuations were related to the goshawk’s scales. When the scales were fast, the fluctuations were greater; when the scales were slow, the fluctuations were smaller.

In just a few breaths, the goshawk was done.

Big Yellow widened its eyes and was still dazed because it honestly did not understand the wonder of the Birds’ spell. Even though it could feel that the spell was difficult, it was beyond its capability to display it accordingly.

The goshawk stared back at the big yellow dog like it was saying, ‘You idiot!’

Despite that, they did not know that the spiritual fluctuation in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness ended as soon as the goshawk stopped making any sounds. Subsequently, a clear rune emerged.

If the goshawk saw the rune, it would certainly be shocked.

It was the Scale Rune-a Scale Rune unique to the Birds.

By listening attentively once, Ou Yangming carved the run in his sea of consciousness.

Of course, Ou Yangming was aware that this had something to do with his mysterious Military Fire. It seemed like the fire could easily understand anything related to the Birds and could solve everything quickly. The goshawk glared at the big yellow until the dog lowered its head as it was ashamed. It was then when the giant bird expressed, “Master, I was wrong.”

“What?” Ou Yangming suddenly awoke and asked.

“This little fella’s too dumb, so it can’t learn the Birds’ lost study.” The goshawk then suggested after some thought, “Perhaps we should ask King Kong if the Beasts have a corresponding Concealment Art too. I’m sure it’ll be useful.”

Big Yellow shouted as it was not willing to admit defeat, “I’m not an idiot. The Birds’ spell is too hard to pronounce; I’ll surely pick it up right away if the Beasts have a corresponding spell.”

The goshawk cast a disdainful look at it because it did not believe it. However, deep down the spirit bird agreed with the big yellow dog.

After all, there was a huge disparity between the Beasts and the Birds.

That said, Ou Yangming totally ignored them. He closed his eyes and studied the new rune.

The Scale Rune was very dissimilar from the runes that he had seen before this but since he was a blacksmith, he could understand them all if he comprehended one thoroughly. As long as the young fellow could perceive the Scale Rune’s theory, he could carve it on a piece of equipment and could stimulate it using essential Qi or other powers.

Eventually, the scales in the rune seemed to have come alive. They danced within his mind, displaying the most elegant dances as if the scales had become the best dancers. It was both eye-catching and captivating.

Ou Yangming was overwhelmed with joy when he began to familiarize himself with the dances.

The Scale Rune was different from the Humans’ runes, but their theories were similar in some ways. It was difficult for the Humans to understand the Scale Rune and to convert it for their own, but it could definitely be carved on pieces of equipment if it was slightly modified

Ou Yangming opened his eyes after a long time. He exhaled deeply and beamed.

He had fully fathomed the Scale Rune that belonged to the Birds.

The young fellow sensed something strange in the air when he opened his eyes. When he turned to look, he noticed that Big Yellow and the goshawk were staring at him worriedly.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He later scanned Big Yellow’s body and did some calculations in his head before he retrieved a piece of featured steel.

This time, he was only smithing a piece of equipment for Big Yellow to conceal its aura, so it would be too wasteful to smith a magic tool using a peculiar stone.

As the Military Fire burned, a protective armor for its hind leg was slowly formed. Ou Yangming moved his mouth without making a sound, but unusual runes surfaced on the equipment. The runes shone in odd lights, which seeped into the armor bit by bit.

The Scale Rune was embedded on the protective armor just like that. Ou Yangming chuckled and approached the big yellow dog with the armor. He removed the Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment from its body.

After seeing this, the goshawk and the big yellow dog knew what he was going to do, but they reacted differently.

The goshawk looked enviously at Ou Yangming and seemed to have lowered its proud head a bit at this moment.

‘Master is a master indeed; he grasped the secret spell after only hearing it twice.’ The goshawk lamented as well. Even if Ou Yangming was not its master and was truly a part of the Humans, it would gladly follow him too.

Ou Yangming put the new equipment on Big Yellow’s hind leg and smiled. “Try it.”

The big yellow dog unleashed its essential Qi without any hesitation. Next, a flash of a luster appeared on the equipment, but it vanished in the blink of an eye. What shocked them was the yellow dog’s aura and momentum underwent a drastic change in a split second.

After withstanding the Heavenly Thunderbolts, the big yellow dog’s aura and momentum kept growing. It had tried to control them as much as it could, but they could not be fully contained.

It was similar to when one awoke to find that one’s power had doubled and would accidentally cause destruction to one’s environment.

Even if one was incredibly cautious, one could not hide it completely.

The situation was different now. Once Big Yellow channeled its essential Qi into the equipment, his aura and momentum were lowered.

It was the Concealment Art-the perfect representation of the Concealment Art.

Big Yellow looked at Ou Yangming cheerfully and lifted its head as it uttered, “You, safe. I… Protect!” Having become a spirit beast, the big yellow dog finally had the confidence to say this!
