Ace Of Terrans

560 Faces Of Life.



Shi Lang sat on the ground, assuming the lotus position and Shadow Blade stood behind him. He said, "You can try and sense the sphere with your spirit energy and then try to resonate and refine it." 

The terran nodded and closed his eyes to meditate and sense the sphere. He was not hesitant, and the spirit phantoms revealed no malice toward him. Shi Lang closed his eyes and began to channel his spiritual energy inside the sphere. He could sense some strong resistance from the sphere but did not stop. 

He was not using an aggressive approach because if that happened. The resistance would increase. The energy could counter him. The best outcome in that situation would be death; the worst would be crippled cultivation. 

The terran did not need to ask that the sphere before him be condensed from the energy of the various experts who contributed to establishing the inheritance palace. The process was slow, but he could sense that it was working. After a few minutes, he sensed a vague movement outside the palace. 

He was surprised and wanted to open his eyes when the phantom of Shadow Blade said, "You do not have to worry. They cannot enter the palace. You can lock down the place since you have started refining the palace." 

Shi Lang gave a faint nod and focused on refining the palace first. He could sense that things were not as simple as they seemed. The expert from the righteous side and the demonic side were fighting. 

The terran wanted to help those from the righteous path, but he did not have the power to do anything. However, a few more minutes passed, and now Shi Lang could hear the sounds outside the palace. 

He could hear the people from the righteous path thinking about ways to enter the palace, but his hopes faded. He heard one of the people say, "This palace must have some treasures within. I want to see who will fight against the Wang Family." 

Shi Lang shook his head and focused on the refinement. It took him a long time to cover the external grounds only. 

Meanwhile, the people in the world also had their destinies to face. Bo Qingtan was also on the palace's second floor but could not move forward as he encountered the guardian statues. They did not attack him, but their swords formed a barricade forbidding him from moving forward. 

The young man was not anxious, and he knew his skills well. He began to look around the second floor while avoiding the traps. The palace was huge, and Bo Qingtan found a lot of rooms. He tried to open several of them, but nothing worked. 

Helpless, he could only move forward. Suddenly, a clang echoed in his mind. He turned around with a sword in his hand. He did not find anyone, but a voice lingered in the void. Bo Qingtan frowned, but then, holding his sword, he followed the direction his instincts told him about. 

After walking for a few minutes, the young man stood at a dead end with a door engraved with a dragon. He could not help but fall into a daze. Subconsciously he leaned forward to take a better look at the dragon when the door opened on its own. 

Bo Qingtan peeked inside, and a hearty voice sounded, "What are you so shy about? Come on in." 

The young man walked inside, and the door closed behind him. 

In the Dragon Sword Sect, Lei Wang was playing chess with Sect Master Ling. They were not alone, and another person sat in the pavilion with them. She was the sect master of the Snow Maiden Peak, Lady Xue. 

She was usually a house cat, but she had come over in person for the matter at hand. Lei Wang said, "Brother Ling, are you for real! You are not afraid that Shi Lang would be crushed by the forces there if he went to the central plain?" 

Sect Master Ling shook his head and said, "I am not scared. When he comes back, he will be at least at the peak of immortal general level, and you can rest assured of that." 

Lady Xue spoke gently, "It is just a week. Will he be able to climb two minor realms?" 

Sect Master Ling picked up a black token from the side and placed it on the board as he said, "No. He will not climb them in terms of spiritual cultivation but battle capability. He might even take on an immortal lord and come out unscathed. Also, he is not a pretentious young master who wants to meddle in everything. 

Senior Tian Long told me this when he came to make arrangements, and Shi Lang is a General. He has achieved the peak of war arts. If he were to lead a force, he would ensure victory at all costs. According to what I have been told, he is a fierce fighter in the lower realms who has never faced defeat." 

Lei Wang and Lady Xue exchanged glances and nodded. It was not their place to influence the decision because the person behind this was an Immortal Sovereign. Sect Master Ling said, "Do not worry. None of us will suffer. It is about time those old fools in the central plain know they are nothing without their names." 

The two leaders could not agree more with him on this. The eastern barren was filled with talented people who were always suppressed. If any talented person managed to cross the great mountains and enter the central plains, they would be reduced to servants under the big families. This sort of humiliation was not something any prideful warrior would tolerate. 

They looked forward to the return of their three geniuses. 

In the lower realms, Amelia was cultivating in a meditation room that Shi Lang used in the past when the room door was slightly opened, and a small head peeked inside. The figure belonged to her granddaughter, who had just started cultivating. She was a talent but not in terms of spiritual cultivation but determination. 

The little girl was seven years old but she worked harder than many people twice her age. She pouted after she gazed at Amelia's back for a few seconds and was about to close the door when the lady spoke ever so softly, "Peeking is bad habit, my love." 

The girl smiled brightly and ran up to hug Amelia's neck. She said in a cheery tone, "Grandma, can you make me something to eat?" 

Amelia smiled and asked, "I can but why? Don't you love Gigi cooking for you?" 

The girl sighed and said, "Gigi said it is grandpa's birthday and she was going to do some charity. She asked me to come over, but I did not feel like going." 

Amelia opened her eyes wide in realization and then she calmed down with a smile. She said, "How about I cook chicken wings for you?" 

The little girl smiled and nodded heavily. She kissed Amelia hard on her cheek and said, "You are the best grandma." 

Amelia patted her head and stood up from the floor. She cast a gaze on a picture hanging on the wall and mumbled, "Happy birthday my love, I hope you are safe and healthy. Do not worry, I will be there soon. This time I will never leave you." 

The little girl asked, "Grandma, what do you love most about grandpa? From what the people say, weren't you two forced to get married?" 

Amelia was surprised when she heard this and then shook her head calmly saying, "Your Gimi was the one who initiated the talks, but I fell in love with Shi Lang long before that. Even he does not know about it." 

The little girl asked and Amelia said, "When he had just entered the school back then, he was the weakest but the most intelligent student in his class. People used to look down on him, even from his own class, but he changed them. He worked hard and stood up for them when in need. 

He was something I have never seen in the world, a human who was willing to take the fall for someone else's sake and still smile. The first time I realized that I like him was when he came to my classroom. He was asked to clean the room, and he did, but he did not look at any of the women with greed or shameful motives. In the end when he was cleaning my desk. 

I was stuck at a problem, and he gave me the answer without even looking at me. He wrote it on the floor next to my desk, and then cleaned it in a few seconds. I passed because of him, otherwise, I would have failed that subject." 

The little girl looked at Amelia and said, "You are making me feel pukish." 

One old and one young, both gazed at each other before they laughed out loud.
