I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 114: Arrival

Zhang Yuan drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

The wine was strong, with a rich flavor, smoothly coursing down his throat, spreading warmth throughout his entire body.

Such fine wine was usually stored in the secret cellars of wealthy families, exclusively for the enjoyment of dignitaries.

Ouyang Changchun gestured for ten jars to be brought and said there was more if needed.

Such generosity was admirable.

This also gave Zhang Yuan a more direct understanding of the Celestial Beings.

In Zhang Yuan’s view, both Ouyang Changchun and Dongfang Minglan seemed out of place with this world.

Especially Ouyang Changchun, whose sense of discord was particularly strong.

However, ordinary people revered the Celestial Beings, and their sense wasn’t as profound as Zhang Yuan’s.

Zhang Yuan once suspected that the so-called Celestial Beings came from some idyllic place outside the world or the Secret Realm’s paradise.

They came to the world to undergo trials.

But this does not explain why they possess the ability to possess immortality.

Zhang Yuan had another hypothesis.

That is, the Celestial Beings come from another world, descending to this world through a possession method.

When the body they parasitize dies, their soul consciousness returns to their world and then possesses again.

It is said that the earliest Celestial Beings appeared hundreds of years ago.

It is conceivable how deeply they have infiltrated and influenced this world!

This explains why people revere them like deities.

Even if a Celestial Being like Ouyang Changchun could be easily killed by any Tier Two or Three Martial Artist!

The time Ouyang Changchun descended or possessed must have been short, as he was not fully accustomed to this world, so he had many strange behaviors.

But unless driven to desperation, who would dare to take action against a Celestial Being?

Zhang Yuan poured another bowl of wine.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the emotions within him, fading into the group of Furious Whale disciples beside him.

That evening, Zhang Yuan and dozens of fellow disciples huddled in a rundown wooden house, enduring a long, snowy night.

The next day, when they emerged, the world outside was covered in a blanket of white.

The snow on the ground was more than a foot deep!

This slowed the progress of the group.

The Furious Whale disciples at the front not only had to clear trees and shrubs but also had to sweep away a large amount of snow.

Thankfully, most of those involved in this operation were martial artists, taking turns, making it not too strenuous.

What upset them was that while they labored at the front, the people from the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Four Great Families took advantage without contributing.

They even occasionally came over to boss them around!

But all they could do was keep their anger bottled up inside.

Everyone knew that the Linhai Sub-Branch was trying to redeem itself, with several Hall Master Elders pressing down on them, who dared to voice any objections?

But these were minor issues.

The important thing was that the eerie incidents no longer occurred as they cleared the path.

As if the terrifying presence lurking in the depths of Qianfeng Mountain feared the power of the two statues and the Mage.

Thus, it didn’t reveal itself again.

On the afternoon of the third day after entering the mountain, the group arrived in front of a peak.

"This is it!"

Ouyang Changchun was very excited, eagerly rushing to the front.

He held a piece of parchment, comparing it to the peak ahead: "Eagle Head Peak, no mistake!"

At this moment, three other Celestial Beings also descended from the Walking Chariot.

They stood with Ouyang Changchun, pointing at the peak obliviously.

"This treasure map is very accurate; the location is correct."

"Heh, wonder what’s hidden there."

"Could someone have beaten us to it?"

"Unlikely."

Ouyang Changchun clapped his hands and said, "What’re you standing around for? Hurry up, find the treasure early, and go home!"

He was actually urging everyone to climb the peak now!

The Furious Whale disciples looked at each other in dismay.

One disciple boldly said, "Venerable, this peak is steep and difficult to climb. It’ll be dark in an hour. Why not camp here and start climbing tomorrow?"

The peak ahead was shaped like an eagle’s head, very perilous, and the mountain winds howled, blowing up snow into white mists, making it look challenging to climb.

Let alone open a road up!

Splat!

Before the disciple’s words were finished, he received a heavy slap on his face.

The one who struck was that refined Celestial Being!

Taking out a silk handkerchief, the Celestial Being wiped his hand and said blandly, "Noisy."

The Furious Whale disciple, staggering, managed to steady himself.

The slap was very heavy. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

His face flushed bright red, one side swelling like a balloon, a look of humiliation and anger in his eyes.

"Sorry."

A hand reached over to grasp the disciple’s shoulder, dragging him forcefully to the back.

The Hall Master of the Battle Hall, Yue Wuji, stepped forward, apologetically addressing the refined Celestial Being, "Nangong Venerable, I apologize for the youngster’s ignorance. I’ll have them clear the way immediately."

Actually, the beaten disciple made a lot of sense.

Eagle Head Peak is perilous, and it’s impossible to build a path in just an hour or two.

With the night approaching, cold and dangerous, fatalities are possible!

Camping below, resting, and setting off in the morning is undoubtedly the right choice.

But Yue Wuji knew well, the disciple’s mistake was arguing with a Celestial Being.

Even if his point was absolutely correct, the slap was deserved!

Yue Wuji, a proper Tier Four True Qi Martial Artist, had to bow and scrape, let alone a mere disciple.

The refined Celestial Being chuckled.

Beside him, Ouyang Changchun, seemingly unable to bear it, attempted to mediate: "Alright then, tomorrow’s fine. After all, if the treasure is on the peak, it won’t escape."

The refined Celestial Being shook his head, "Younger Brother Ouyang, you’re too soft-hearted."

Ouyang Changchun chuckled awkwardly, "Seventh Brother, cut me some slack."

"Fine."

Looking disinterested, the refined Celestial Being turned away: "I’m here as a guest this time, you decide everything!"

Ouyang Changchun scratched his head, asking Dongfang Minglan beside him, "Seventh Brother’s not mad, right?"

Dongfang Minglan smiled, "No, Seventh Brother isn’t that petty."

"That’s good."

Ouyang Changchun sighed with relief, then said to Yue Wuji, "Master Yue, let’s camp here and head up tomorrow to find the treasure."

Yue Wuji gratefully replied, "Thank you, Venerable, for your magnanimity!"

Ouyang Changchun laughed, "No need for such courtesy."

His generous nature won the favor of the Furious Whale disciples present.

Only Zhang Yuan, possibly biased, felt a certain insincerity in his words and actions.

But at that moment, Zhang Yuan’s focus wasn’t much on the Celestial Beings.

Discreetly, he pressed his chest.

A slight burning sensation emanated from his heart.

Tightly against this spot was a piece of human skin—the treasure map obtained from Hunter Gao!
