Ace Of Terrans

The envoys were sent out once again, and the Sun Archer clan responded to Shi Lang and his requests quickly. At the same time, Naomi also came forward to collect the prototype of the headgear that Shi Lang wanted them to test and find out the impact it had on the divine sense detection. The moment she saw the headgear, she was surprised because she could tell by the runes engraved on the artifact that Shi Lang had put in a lot of thought to develop this, but at the same time, she said, “Hall Master Shi, I am willing to help you with the research aspect of this artifact but if we use this in battle, then will it not prove disadvantageous for our side? Without Divine Sense, many of us would be reduced useless on the battlefield.”

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, “You will not be needed to use this in the battle field. The only objective of this artifact is to fool the consciousness that washes over us when we move through the Dao border.”

Naomi nodded and said, “Alright, I will get going and reach out to you when it is done.”

Shi Lang said, “Daoist Naomi, is it not too much of a hassle to travel all the way around to talk and it is also exposing us all to the risk of getting detected. After all, you cannot have too many business visits, can you?”

Naomi nodded and after a few moments she said, “I will go back and talk to the elders at home, I am sure they would have something to solve this situation.”

Shi Lang thanked her and then he went back to his daily life, that included cultivation, and researching a lot of things, one of them was to understand the anatomy of the various races. By now, since the Ranking Tournament they have gathered a lot of data from the nano cams and scans done on the various people. It was nothing spiritual, just pure tech.

The myriad races had no idea that the human race had all the data about them sitting on their serves and they could even farm clones to set up spies in the race. Asura Hall was scary because once they went out for business, they would slip the knife so softly and so deep that the other party would not sense it until the knife is twisted to kill them.

Shi Lang was engrossed in his studies while the rest of the people were designing weapons and arrays that would amplify the damage. New versions of armors were being refined. The entire Asura hall had transformed into a secret war battery, that produced equipment to shatter the common understanding of the various races had about the human race. Not that only, all the sects were doing their bit. They were all gearing up in secret, because the word about an Envoy of the realm lord looking at them from the void.

…

One day when Shi Lang was taking a small break from reading the data, Xiao Meng approached him. She looked troubled, and the young man asked, “Mengmeng, what happened?”

Xiao Meng pursed her lips and came to sat down on the ground next to him and then she placed her head in his lap. This was a rare occurrence, and Shi Lang asked, “What is going on?”

As he asked this, he patted her head gently and, Xiao Meng said, “The beast kin in the plain are getting worked up. They have been stating that the humans are cruel to them, and that we have been extracting them for the sake of self growth. Even though the hunts of Spiritual beasts have reduced since the reforms, they are just trying to cause trouble.”

Shi Lang smiled faintly and asked, “Which clan is it that is causing trouble for you? Do they not know about the Princess of the Jade Peacocks?”

Xiao Meng was a spirit beast who had climbed high in the world. She shook her head and said, “It is not a clan but the collective Spirit Beast Alliance that is raising this issue, they fear that the war prep going on around the world is a ploy of the human race to attack them. Does this even make any sense.”

Shi Lang patted her head gently and smiled, Xiao Meng was angry because someone must have dragged him into this facade. He asked, “Tell me, where can I find these people? I would like to have a conversation with them.”

Xiao Meng sighed and replied, “Baba, if you personally went over, the people would definitely die from panic only.”

Shi Lang chuckled and he was loud, before he said, “Well, I will make sure they don’t dei, after all, I am the great Tribulation Alchemist.”

Xiao Meng chuckled beside him, and said, “Fine, I will go and ask them if they can meet you.”

Shi Lang nodded and then he saw Xiao Meng stand up take a deep breath and leaving the pavilion confidently. The Terran shook his head and sat on the ground with the Guqin in his hand, he felt like playing some songs today to relax and with that thought he began to play a few light and gentle songs. Many small birds came close to him to listen to the music. The Terran smiled at the scene as he watched this scene unfold.

He was not deliberately playing while using his understanding of the music Dao, it was just a few songs that came from the bottom of his heart. He thought in his mind, ‘The power of an innocent emotion.’

Then suddenly, the birds all flew away. Shi Lang played the song to the end before he stopped and asked, “Long time no see, friend.”

An ethereal voice echoed in the surroundings, “Long time no see indeed, friend. Are you not going to turn around and greet me?”

Shi Lang stood up from the ground and stored the instrument away, before he turned around to face a beautiful lady in azure clothes. He smiled and said, “Little bird, finally decided to come home?”

Feng Yun chuckled and said, “Still as cheeky as ever.”

She walked up to Shi Lang and the two shared a gentle embrace. Then Shi Lang asked, “Do you want to have some tea?”

Feng Yun nodded and said, “Yes, I will take some.”

Shi Lang took out two stools and a table from the space ring and then began to brew some tea. At this moment, Hao Mei appeared outside the Pavilion and she said, “Baba, this formu…”

She stopped in her tracks, because she had never met Feng Yun ever. Shi Lang said, “This is my second daughter, and disciple. Hao Mei, the gentle wind of the Asura Hall.”

Feng Yun smiled and said, “She is a good child.”

Shi Lang beckoned her over and said, “This lady is Feng Yun, the Azure Phoenix who taught Baba the Dao of Time.”

Hao Mei bowed to the lady and said, “Greetings Senior.”

Feng Yun smiled and reached out to pat her head before she turned to look at Shi Lang and said, “Brat, I have regained my powers and I am now back to Vermillion.”

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “You are still wearing the same hanfu I got you.”

Feng Yun rolled her eyes and said, “What is wrong with this? It is comfortable, and after this, you better get me some new clothes and also, Xiao Bai asked for some too.”

Shi Lang nodded and asked, “Mei, what did you need help with?”

Hao Mei gave him a formula and after some pondering, Shi Lang gave out some advices that caused Hao Mei to nod and then she bowed to Feng Yun again and left the pavilion. Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Now tell me, what is going on?”

Feng Yun sighed and replied, “It is nothing, I just came out to check if your planning to rejoin the plains is sane enough.”

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, “What do you mean?”

Feng Yun sighed before she said, “Amelia didn’t tell you because the world consciousness hid it from her. If you refine vessels to channel the world consciousness and join them. Amelia would be one of those vessels. The end of this process will cause these vessels to run out of everything. Those without souls are another thing but…”

Before she could say anything Shi Lang completed her words, “But the one with soul would burn because she would be the relay to guide all that world consciousness. She would have to bare the burden so big on her shoulders that it would kill her.”

Feng Yun nodded, and she was surprised by how calm Shi Lang appeared at this moment.

The Terran said, “Don’t worry, I am not a fool. Nothing will happen to Amelia, because she will not be the relay. I have already found the solution to this issue.”
