Chapter 788: Joy Riding To The Foot Of The Mountian.
Shi Lang did not care about what went inside the head of the old man. He had a clear idea about what he needed to do in order to survive this trip. He had met his clone that gained enlightenment under the guidance of a Legendary fox beast.
That experience combined with the knowledge he gained in the past seven days, he knew very well that the Titan Mountain was one big graveyard, one mistake and he would end up under the ground or worse inside the belly of a legendary beast. His body was no less than a treasure after all.
He rode his levbike leisurely as he headed to the Titan mountains. The distance between the city border and the Titan Mountain was significant normal humans did not dare to travel that much and cultivators preferred spirit vessels to save time and cultivate. The people from the reputed business firms have established agreements with the legendary beasts to ensure a safe travel.
The legendary beasts have been acting rampant and they do try to extort people by asking for gifts and tolls but the humans were indeed weaker. This world thrived on strength. If someday a legendary beast stood up and said, that he wanted to enslave humans, it might not take them more than a few hours to complete the task.
Immortal Sovereigns may seem to be omnipotent but that was all a facade because the legendary beasts focused on their cultivation and they did not wish to meddle with puny humans who waste so much time engaging in power struggles and selfish interests.
Shi Lang agreed with the legendary beasts but his opinion did not make any difference at all. He was moving through lush grasslands at a high speed, and the sensation of the wind brushing against his face was something he had not felt in a long time.
Usually when a cultivator flew in the void, they would be unconsciously generate a spiritual energy shield around their bodies and the wind will not brush up.
Shi Lang liked his feeling and he began to maneuver the bike even more recklessly. It was like he was participating in a moto cross rally where his bike would run up some mud ramps and he would pull of pumping stunts. He was having the time of his lifetime, but he did not know that someone far away was glaring really hard.
...
In the War Maiden residence, Amelia and Shi Tao were watching the scenes transmitted from Shi Lang's levbike camera and while the former was glaring at the screen, the latter was having a hard time stifling her laugh.
The people around them did not know what was going on, but they could see that the Sect Mistress was not very happy about this and she was about to explode so they did not probe very much.
Amelia looked at Shi Tao and smacked her shoulder gently as she complained, "Look what he is upto now. who told you to give him toys? He is such a child in his actions. Does he not know that we are still worried about him?"
Shi Tao rubbed her shoulder with an expression that she has been wronged as she said, "How is it my fault? I only thought these things would be able to help us in dealing with situations where we could not use any spiritual energy. How was I to know that he would go on a stunt session?"
Amelia hmphed and said, "On top of it all his spiritual energy has been sealed. If anything went wrong, how does he intend to recover? Ping the bike, and have him slow down."
Shi Tao said, "Ma, this is only one way, we don't have any transponders in this world for a data ping to work."
Amelia snarled and said, "God! This man is a child no matter what world. He can go to hell for all I care!"
That said she left the room in a huff, and Yu Xeidi chased after her. However, Hao Mei stood there gazing at the screen silently. Shi Tao patted her head gently and asked, "What happened kiddo?"
Hao Mei asked softly, "Big sister, do you have something like this that I can use?"
Shi Tao was surprised to find that the soft and docile Hao Mei wanted to try something like a Levbike. She asked, "Do you want to try the stunts?"
Hao Mei blushed a little and nodded. Shi Tao smiled and said, "I have a board that will allow you to levitate above the ground, but you can only use it in secret. Do not let your mistress find out. She will beat me up otherwise. Promise?"
Hao Mei nodded and extended her pinky finger. The two girls hooked their fingers, and continued monitoring Shi Lang.
...
The Terran did not know that he was incurring wrath of the wife. It has been a few hundred kilometers but Shi Lang did not spot any human or even a spirit beast in the region. It would have been odd somewhere else in this world but not here. The surroundings were a giant grass lands.
Shi Lang had read in one of the books that the great grasslands were created by the experts of the human race to prevent anyone from taking shelter in the forests and places around the Titan Mountains. They did this to make sure that no conflict sparks up between the two species.
This move may seem defensive but it was effective. These grasslands were untouched and as clean as blank paper. The Terran traveled a whole day before he reached a point where he could see the Titan mountains in a distance. Although, the landmass was not as towering as he imagined it to be but there was still a great distance between them.
Shi Lang got off his bike and stretched his body around a bit. He had been riding the entire day and his muscles were stiff because there was no such thing as bumps. As he got down the bike, he looked around and his gaze fell on a camera embedded in the headlight of the bike. His spiritual energy was blocked but his sensory ability was still there.
He waved at the camera and then made a few signs telling the people that he will go to sleep now.
...
On the other side, Shi Tao looked at the fuming lady beside her and prayed for her father. Amelia was infuriated by his typical antics.
