Chapter 220 From Beyond The Heavens
As the wind whistled, Ni Yinghong closed her eyes slightly. She did not know where the great ancestor was bringing her to, but she made a guess.
Sure enough, when Ni Xuetian stopped, they had already arrived at a ravine.
“Yinghong, you’re about to enter the Ni family’s forbidden area. Among your peer group with the generation na ‘Hong’, you’re the first one who’s allowed to enter,” Ni Xuetian stated, then he uncovered the disguise and entered first.
Ni Yinghong inhaled deeply to calm herself down before she entered.
At the Chaos Cave’s entrance, Ni Xuetian retrieved an odd whistle and began blowing it. Strangely enough, no sound emitted from the whistle.
Nonetheless, it did not take long for wind to gust out of the cave. The big yellow dog stuck its tongue out and licked Ni Yinghong intimately. “Big Yellow, we’d like to enter.” Ni Xuetian cleared his throat. Although he was a Supre Great Ancestor, it was the exact reason he dared not enter the Chaos Cave by himself.
The big yellow dog blinked and barked, then it ran into the cave.
Ni Xuetian pulled Ni Yinghong and followed closely behind the dog.
Once they went through the tunnel and arrived at the Land of Inheritance, Ni Yinghong’s eyes lit up because she instantly sensed how distinctive the place was. If one cultivated martial arts or picked up knowledge here, it would be much more effective than doing it in the outside world.
Ni Xuetian asked, “Yinghong, you want to know why we’re taking sides with He Liangce, right?”
“Yes, Great Ancestor. Lil’ Ming has shown extre benevolence by helping our clan, and it won’t be too much even if you were to sell to him. When He Liangce ca, why did you suddenly...” Ni Yinghong imdiately curbed her thoughts and voiced out. She soon blushed and could not finish her sentence.
“Silly child, you’re the Ni family’s daughter, so how can we sell you to soone else?” Ni Xuetian sighed. He shook his head and explained, “There’s a difficult reason behind our actions.”
“I’d like to hear the details.”
Ni Xuetian nodded. “The Ni family from Changlong and the He family from Linlang are the greatest families in the respective counties. Do you know where our legacies originated from?”
“According to records in our clan, they should be from the capital,” Ni Yinghong answered even though she was startled.
“Heh.” Ni Xuetian’s face twitched before he continued to ask, “Where did the inheritance of the imperial family from the capital co from?”
Ni Yinghong’s face changed. “Great Ancestor, please be more explicit.”
“The legacies of the Ni family and the He family have been passed on for thousands of years. We’ve produced plenty of experts who were reputable in the world, but we’ve also had so little talent that we nearly beca extinct. A normal aristocratic family wouldn’t have risen again if they were in such a state, but whenever our clans hit rock bottom, the imperial family spared no effort in supporting us. With that, those who tried to replace us were overturned,” Ni Xuetian stated. He looked deeply at Ni Yinghong and questioned, “Do you know why?”
Ni Yinghong’s face took on a grave expression as she answered, “No, I don’t.’
“That’s because our respective ancestors sacrificed themselves in exchange for the opportunities for us.” Ni Xuetian had a bitter look on his face. He spoke in a deeper voice, “As the Ni family’s disciples, there are so things that we don’t get to choose.” Ni Yinghong looked up abruptly. “Great Ancestor, what things?”
“The beast tide,” Ni Xuetian replied to her seriously, “The beast tide takes place once in a hundred years, and the Humans will suffer a disaster once the tide breaks out. The Ni family and the He family are the ones who will put an end to the disaster.”
A thought crossed Ni Yinghong’s mind. “The imnse forest?”
“Yes, it’s the Imnse Forest Beast Tide.” Ni Xuetian turned to order, “Big Yellow, go and get the land that was left behind by our ancestor.”
Big Yellow opened its mouth and spat out a box.
“This is the Ni family’s real cultivation path. You were naturally gifted with ntal power, so it’s ti you took a look at it,” Ni Xuetian stated as he touched the box.
Ni Yinghong was about to open the box after she accepted it, but she raised a question, “Great Ancestor, where exactly did our clan’s inheritance co from?”
“From, beyond, the, heavens,” Ni Xuetian uttered word by word.

Ou Yangming read the books in the room one after another, and he quietly looked at their contents.
He sotis furrowed his eyebrows, sotis smiled, sotis danced.
The so-called Suit Skill was a type of Runes Skill. The Runes Skill was incredibly mysterious, and its mysterious use was unparalleled.
In actuality, one could communicate with the mysterious power between Heaven and Earth by carving runes on a piece of equipnt. As a result, the equipnt’s attributes could be improved. Nevertheless, not all pieces of equipnt could withstand the energy from runes. Besides, it was imnsely difficult to engrave runes on a single piece of equipnt, such that almost nobody could achieve it.
Therefore, people from the later generations split the runes and etched them separately on different pieces of equipnt. If the distributed pieces of Rune Equipnt were used individually, nothing fascinating could be seen; if two pieces of that equipnt were put on a person’s body, magical energy would naturally be produced to upgrade the equipnt set’s attributes.
Ou Yangming had a better understanding of Suit Runes after he read many books. Moreover, he was glad to find several drawing sheets for Suit Runes in the remaining books.
The runes that were recorded on the drawing sheets were the Ni family’s priceless treasures.
Each set of runes corresponded with a set of equipnt. So of them had many runes while so only had a few, and they all required different types of equipnt. Despite that, it was unquestionable that the value of each set of runes was beyond one’s imagination.
After an unknown period, Ou Yangming’s eyes were bright and clear as he put down the book in his hands. He was eager to try.
Deep down the young fellow was grateful for the Ni family.
It was inevitable for Ou Yangming to feel resentful when the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors arranged for him to travel with He Liangce, but the resentnt had already disappeared long ago. The Suit Runes Technique, especially the final and completed runes, were so valuable that their worth could not be assessed. Even so, the Ni family did not hesitate to let him inspect and learn from them. Based on this friendship alone, he was exceptionally thankful.
Ou Yangming closed his eyes as he recalled the various runes in his head. The explanations and the different runes lingered in his mind like flowing water, causing him to be fully imrsed in them.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched because he rembered sothing.
Elder Universe had once told him the way to use ntal power, thus ntal power beca his mightiest killing weapon. In fact, the young fellow was able to slaughter the big multicolored tiger in the imnse forest because he possessed strong ntal power.
The surge of power burst out at that instant, allowing him to kill an Extre Grade half-spirit beast.
‘ntal power, Runes Skill!’
For so reason, Ou Yangming had a bizarre thought that the two of them were closely connected.
It was just a hunch he had. In particular, when the countless runes changed in his mind, he felt that he could enhance his ntal power with help from the runes.
Struck with an idea, Ou Yangming could not sit still anymore.
He stood up and opened the door.
Several tall disciples from the Ni family guarded outside the door. They were not surprised when they saw Ou Yangming, which was evident that they knew who was inside.
Ou Yangming nodded and was about to leave.
A young man, who appeared to be the leader among the disciples, quickly asked, “Master Ou, are you done looking already?”
“I’m exhausted, so I’ll be resting before I continue tomorrow.” Ou Yangming stopped and smiled, then he flashed and went far away.
Behind him, the Ni family martial artist looked at each other.
The library was an important place in the residence, so disciples who could enter once treasured the opportunity very much, where they would not leave unless the ti was up.
However, judging from Ou Yangming’s expression earlier, he did not treat the library as an important place, but an eatery that he often visited
Ou Yangming could not be bothered about what they thought; he returned to his courtyard swiftly.
He looked up at the starry sky.
The sky had already turned dark by now because the Sun had set, leaving white starlights that showered the Earth and gave off a refreshing feeling.
Ou Yangming stared at the sky as though he wanted to comprehend sothing from the void.
Three different runes surfaced in his mind at the sa ti.
Ou Yangming found the runes from a book. By having the corresponding equipnt set, one’s ntal power could be released faster.
The young fellow instantly rembered the peculiar runes when he saw them. It was as if they were the most precious runes.
He visualized the three runes with his ntal power and willpower at the mont.
The runes could result in incredibly amazing effects if they were carved on pieces of equipnt, but as long as one had sufficient powerful ntal power, the runes could also be visualized through ntal power.
Ou Yangming was transforming the Suit Runes’ essence for his use.
Eventually, three runes were ford in his mind as he controlled using his great ntal power and willpower, and the runes began to agglorate.
Once the three drawings were layered on top of one another, Ou Yangming opened his eyes and turned his wrists. Following that, his ntal power gushed out like a flood. One breath, two breaths... Ten breaths, eleven breaths... Nineteen breaths, twenty breaths.
At twenty breaths, a giant fireball was ford in Ou Yangming’s hands.
The fireball released a trendously fearso aura, causing the plants around him to wither as if they would be on fire at any ti.
That said, Ou Yangming was elated.
As soon as he visualized the three runes in his mind, the ti he took to gather his ntal power actually reduced by roughly 30%.
He had not employed the Suit Skill on pieces of equipnt, but it was already giving him an imasurable advantage.
At the spur of the mont, two flashes of figures arrived at the courtyard. Ni Jingshen and Ni Jingtong were dumbfounded when they saw the big fireball in Ou Yangming’s hands; they were appalled. After gasping, Ni Jingshen shouted, “Master Ou, calm down! Calm down! We can talk this out...”
