"Lil' Ming, you've mutated too, haven't you?" Ni Yinghong turned to look at Ou Yangming and asked as she was surprised.

Ou Yangming sighed. Although he knew he could not hide his change from Ni Yinghong, who paid extra attention to him, he did not expect to be exposed so soon.

He scratched his head and responded, "Elder Sister Ying, I must've been influenced by Big Yellow!"

"Influenced?" Ni Yinghong was in disbelief. "Can this… Be influenced too?"

The big yellow dog glared at him. It later looked around and dropped to the ground, then it closed its eyes and snored loudly.

It was completely disappointed with Ou Yangming's excuses, so it thought, 'Do as you wish, I'm not going to get involved anymore!'

Ou Yangming stared at the dog furiously but realized that it was not affected at all. Feeling helpless, he smiled bitterly and told Ni Yinghong honestly, "Elder Sister Ying, we're hiding things from you indeed, but I can't tell you about them."

He could not tell anyone about the Military Fire's uniqueness and the pieces of equipment with the Devouring attributes. It was not because he did not trust Ni Yinghong, but because he had a feeling that there would be a disaster if he revealed them.

Instead of making Ni Yinghong bear the disaster too, the young fellow would rather face it alone. Needless to say, since Big Yellow benefited from it too, it could only go through it with him.

Ni Yinghong looked deeply at Ou Yangming and nodded. She no longer questioned him closely.

Everyone had secrets, after all. In fact, some secrets could not even be shared between a father and a son, or a husband and a wife.

Ni Yinghong reached out her arms to embrace Ou Yangming like an elder sister, then she said, "Lil' Ming, you should rest here for two days. We'll leave after your aura stabilizes."

Ou Yangming nodded and was glad.

He asked after a moment of hesitation, "Elder Sister Ying, can you show me the inherited jade box again?"

"Since my great ancestors were willing to send you here, of course, you're qualified to see it." Ni Yinghong pursed her lips and smiled. Deep down she wanted to say something else too, but it was related to her, so she was too embarrassed to say it even if she was thick-faced.

Following that, Ni Yinghong pulled Ou Yangming into the cottage.

Big Yellow wandered in front of the door for some time but could not enter. It could not enter the cottage through the normal way because its body had increased by a few times. If it were to force its way in, the cottage's door would be the first to be ruined.

In the cottage, Ou Yangming chuckled and put his arm around the beautiful lady's slim waist. He later leaned in and said brazenly, "Elder Sister Ying, Big Yellow isn't around anymore."

Ni Yinghong was dumbfounded, and she flushed up to her ears. Nonetheless, she soon reached out to twist Ou Yangming's ear hard. "B*stard, what are you thinking about?"

"Woof!" The big yellow dog outside barked as though it was cooperating with her.

Ou Yangming immediately shouted in pain and let go of the young lady. He glared hatefully at the big yellow dog outside and had probably secretly cursed at it numerous times.

Ni Yinghong handed him the jade box and noted seriously, "Cultivate well without being distracted at all. If we're both alive after the disaster ends, I, I…" She blushed and could not finish her sentence anymore.

The young fellow's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What will you do?"

"It's none of your business!" Ni Yinghong rolled her eyes and turned angry from being too embarrassed.

Ou Yangming was taken aback. He curbed his nasty thoughts at once and smiled apologetically at her. "Okay, okay, okay, I won't ask about it anymore."

Ni Yinghong's eyes reddened a little after some time. "Lil' Ming, I know nobody's safety is guaranteed in this disaster, especially mine. After all, my death is inevitable because I'll have to sacrifice for a noble cause as a daughter from the Ni family."

Ou Yangming's face changed, and he looked slightly mad.

The young lady then reached out her hand and gently placed it on the side of Ou Yangming's lips. She explained softly, "Given that we know each other, it won't be a big deal even if I give you my body, but the Noble Sacrifice Secret Technique can only be performed by a virgin, which is why I'm making this promise with you."

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and moved her hand away. "Elder Sister Ying, I understand now, but don't worry… I won't let you make your debut at all!" He assured her.

Subsequently, he nodded and cast aside the distractions, then he opened the jade box in front of Ni Yinghong.

A flash of light appeared, then an obscure power extended and formed a unique yet peculiar spiritual world in the cottage.

At this point, Ou Yangming knew the cottage was an extremely important tool as well because the Ni family's inheritance could only be fully released if it worked together with the jade box.

Inside the spiritual world, ordinary people would definitely lose themselves. An ordinary Supreme Great Ancestor could also get lost in this world too because the world was composed of formations and the Ni family's inheritance power, which resulted in a huge spiritual advantage.

Nevertheless, when Ou Yangming previously entered the world, his mental power was so strong that he could resist the power and could force his way through the barrier.

Now that his mental power had almost doubled, he would not be affected at all.

When Ou Yangming looked around the hazy spiritual world, he suddenly realized that there were enormous changes in the things he saw and felt.

Back then, Ou Yangming could resist the power and could suppress the spiritual world, but his mental power was only slightly superior. As such, he could only see what was inside but could not truly perceive them. This time, when the young fellow briefly released his mental conception, he noticed how mysterious and applaudable the spiritual world's structure was.

Having 99 points of mental power gave him strong capital.

He felt like he was standing on a giant's shoulders and was overlooking a maze.

The maze was the spiritual world, which was formed through the association between the jade box and the cottage.

In a maze, one could only see the walls around but could not see every path clearly. Therefore, one could only search around, hoping to find the right way out.

However, if one was tall enough to see everything clearly from above, getting out would be a piece of cake. Ou Yangming was in that tall position at the moment, where everything in the spiritual world was clear to him by using his absolute strength as the basis.

Ou Yangming's eyes shone brighter, and countless thoughts crossed his mind. Moreover, monstrous waves filled his sea of consciousness.

'Ah, so this is the structure of a real spiritual world!'

The Simulated Spiritual Fist and the Charm Arm Guard.

It was worth noting that the two combined were incredibly mighty, to the extent that they could make three Earthly Dragon Beasts kill each other.

Ou Yangming had always thought that was his limit. After all, even a Supreme Great Ancestor would concede defeat under the pressure.

It was not until he experienced the real wonders in this spiritual world that he realized that what he thought was his limit was only a beginning.

He lowered his head quietly, but the aura around him began to change strangely.

Ni Yinghong was thrilled. She could sense Ou Yangming's change, but what surprised her was the entire spiritual world in the cottage seemed to have changed according to his aura.

All of a sudden, the young fellow's voice appeared in her mind.

"Elder Sister Ying, watch me closely!"

Ni Yinghong was stunned. She quivered a little, but a figure soon appeared in her sea of consciousness. The figure kept swaying around, and it was moving its hands.

Each time the figure waved its hand, a wind blade was released. With that, wind blades were continuously launched by the figure, forming a wind-blade chain. Additionally, when the later wind blades caught up to the earlier ones, instead of exploding, they combined oddly and became a two-sectioned wind blade. It seemed like the sections overlapped, but they were also distinctive enough to be distinguished.

Ni Yinghong was fully immersed in the process. She had a feeling that she had become the figure, the person who threw the wind blades was not anyone else but her.

Countless memories and experiences gushed into her sea of consciousness, allowing her to gain unimaginable combat experiences in an instant. In particular, the young lady improved drastically in her understanding of the wind blades' release.

It felt like another person's experiences were directly imprinted in her sea of consciousness, hence she was able to fathom everything on a deep level.

Ni Yinghong shuddered and awoke, then she stared at Ou Yangming dumbfoundedly.

They were still in the same cottage, but the obscure light had disappeared, and the jade box had already been closed. Ou Yangming sat next to her and admired her face quietly.

The young lady blushed and shook her head. She asked in shock, "Lil' Ming, what did you do?"

Ou Yangming helped her up, then they left the cottage side by side. "Elder Sister Ying, test your wind blades' powers again."

Ni Yinghong was undecided, but numerous memories flooded her sea of consciousness. Before long, she gritted her teeth and extended her arms. The instant she stretched her hands, green lights surfaced from her palms.

'Wind blade, wind blade…'

Two wind blades were released in no particular order.

Afterward, Ni Yinghong continued to launch another two wind blades in the distance.

There were only four wind blades, unlike how Ou Yangming released many small fireballs consecutively. That said, Ni Yinghong could only project one wind blade before this.

Ni Yinghong had only come to a realization for a short while and her mental power remained the same, but her combat power had quadrupled.

No, in terms of combat power, the increase was more than quadruple.

The layered attack from four wind blades was far more powerful than four leisurely released wind blades.

Ni Yinghong's eyes lit up. She almost could not believe that she had just fired the wind blades.

"Lil' Ming, what exactly did you do?" Her voice trembled slightly because she was overly excited.
