Chapter 579 Sparring And Shocking.
Sect Master Ling smiled and asked, “Do you want me to limit my strength?”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Unless you use spiritual and void attacks. I will be fine, I guess.”
The three elders were shocked to see this. They did not expect him to ask them for such a treatment. However, since the junior wishes to experience the strength of an Immortal King, they must allow him to do so.
Sect Master Ling snapped his neck and moved forward. The speed was so fast that the man directly vanished from his spot, and the next time he appeared, his fist made contact with Shi Lang’s temple.
Yun Xue closed her eyes. Even though she had trust in Shi Lang, it was unheard of for an Immortal Lord to withstand the attack of an Immortal King. Lady Xue and Lei Wang shook their heads also. However, the next moment, they opened their eyes wide. Sect Master Ling’s fist just passed through Shi Lang’s body.
Sect Master Ling was surprised when he took a side step and sensed a fist graze past his cheek. Shi Lang attacked him, but the Terran had retreated ten meters away before he could counter.
Ling Ye was shocked and could not digest the sight he just witnessed. This junior, who has only stepped into the Immortal Lord Realm, did not only evade his attack but almost punched him in the face. He commented, “Xiao Lang, it seems you have made a gain here.”
In the distance, Shi Lang raised his head and nodded, but his eyes were unsure. Ling Ye smiled and said, “Here I come.” πΆπ½πxt.ππt
The two began to chase and avoid around the place at quick speeds. Yun Xue asked, “What did Senior Ling mean by Shi Lang making a bargain?”
Lady Xue said, “Watch yourself when he moves, and you will know what Old Ling said.”
Yun Xue did not say anything but kept staring at the battle. The more she watched, the more she realized she could barely keep up with the speed. She hummed and said, “Sect Master, I cannot keep up with the battle before me. I can understand that Senior Ling is fast, as he is an Immortal King, but why is Shi…”
Suddenly, it clicked, and she exclaimed, “So you mean that his speed is already comparable to an Immortal King?”
Lei Wang said, “It is not only speed but his response timing. Some people are masters of speed and can evade the pursuit of an Immortal King. Fighting with them toe-to-toe at this level is unheard of.”
The trio watched the battle with great enthusiasm. The two people fighting were unaware of the shock caused to the witnesses. Shi Lang was focused on the battle and only looked forward to matching the pace of the attacks from the enemy.
The fists cracked with each other, unleashing all they had. If Ling Ye held the upper hand regarding strength, the Terran made up for it with his speed and responses. He was using all the martial arts from the lower realms, and they turned out to be quite efficient in dealing with the people.
Shi Lang was not unscathed. His body was riddled with sweat and bruises. His enemy was in a similar state. His hair was unkempt, and they fought bravely. Suddenly, Ling Ye grunted and punched Shi Lang’s chest. The impact sent the young man reeling in retreat. The Terran wanted to rush forward but sensed his body was shivering.
It was not fatigue, nor was he injured, but his spiritual energy raging through his body at a pace like never before. He did not know what it was but could not control it, and his face turned red. Ling Ye appeared beside him and patted his back gently. The raging Spirit Energy suddenly calmed down, and Shi Lang’s complexion improved.
The terran took a deep breath and said, “Thank you, sect master.”
Ling Ye nodded faintly and said, “Xiao Lang, your talent and skill are impressive. What are those moves you used to block earlier? It hit directly on my acupoints, making the enemy very frustrated.”
Shi Lang replied without hiding, “It was a martial arts style that we used in the military in the lower realms. They are more effective when used with the tandem with the spiritual energy it will penetrate the acupoints and leave the enemy immobilized, enough time to end the battle.”
Ling Ye was surprised. He asked, “Why did you not use the spirit energy then?”
Shi Lang smiled faintly and replied, “I could not have possibly harmed you with the attacks, so it was no use infusing the spirit energy. Also, I am not yet completely proficient in controlling the energy flow around my body, so I have no idea what to do.”
Ling Ye nodded, but in reality, he was frightened. If this young man could fight with him to this extent, would it not mean that the young man would be able to beat him to shit in the straight. He sighed and mumbled, “It is true that the younger generation will surpass the older one.”
Shi Lang smiled faintly and did not say anything. Ling Ye suddenly recalled something and asked, “Xiao Lang, what is this palace? Although Yun Xue told us what it was, it was all very abstract.”
The terran nodded and looked at the palace in the distance. He controlled his thoughts, and the palace shrank to a small size and flew over to his palm. The three elders were shocked, and Shi Lang said, “Sect Master, this is an artifact refined by several Immortal Gods before they took their last breaths. Inside the palace, the seniors left their spiritual consciousnesses awaiting the successors with steadfast hearts to come and find the chance to inherit their mantle.”
The three people were shocked, and Yun Xue said, “I have also gained the inheritance from an exalted senior, Venerable Ice Mist.”
Lady Xue gazed at Yun Xue, and even though the lady was an Immortal King, she could not help but feel envious. Shi Lang said, “I am the Palace Master, and this monument is under my control. In the future, the three sects will select outstanding disciples and send them to the palace to test their luck. However, they all must have an impeccable character. Not hypocrites.
The seniors’ spirits inside are much stronger than Senior Lightning Shura could ever be. The pressure they emit alone is enough to see through you all and erase your existence.”
The three people nodded. After all, they also understood the importance of an impeccable character. Shi Lang continued, “I will leave this palace in the depths of the Triumph Mountains. Inside the palace will be a spirit lake. The disciples who won’t receive the approval of the seniors will still have a chance to be baptized in the Spirit Lake. The seniors in the sect who guard us in shadows can take turns to watch over the palace and maintain its secrecy if the central plain people find out about this. The entire eastern barren will overflow with blood.”
The three people nodded, Lei Wang said, “You do not have to worry about this, Xiao Lang. We will arrange for the formation masters in the sect to erect the best formations they know in the valley to keep the outsiders away. We also know that we cannot let the Central Plains catch a whiff of it.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “I have an idea. I hope you all will agree to it.”
The three people listened to him keenly, and Shi Lang continued, “I have some connection with the Central Plain’s Xiao Family. Their young miss has some goodwill with me. Once I reach the central plain, I will look for her, and then she might be able to arrange a few positions for our people in the central plains.
We need to scout against the demonic cultivators, but we must also mind the greedy humans in the central plain.”
The three people were surprised by his claim but agreed to his proposal. The people went to the Dragon Sword Sect and discussed the matter in detail. Shi Lang gave them the guidelines for the palace’s operation. His ideas gave the three people a new understanding of his character.
After the discussion ended, Shi Lang sighed and said, “That would be all. Sect Master Ling, you can have some elders take this palace to the valley, and Yun Xue will help you plant the Spirit gathering lotus and other things. I need to consolidate my cultivation and look for that thing.”
After the agreement between the three sect masters and considering various points, the three people were concerned about the meeting ending. Shi Lang bade farewell to his friends and left for the Sect with Ling Ye.
When he left for the central plains, Yun Xue asked him to bring her along. Shi Lang agreed and said, “See you soon.”
