Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang did not know anything about Amelia freaking out over his trip. Although the lady pretended to be calm before him, but even when they were in the Federation. Every time Shi Lang left for duty she would be like this.

The Terran did not know much and spent the night under the stars. He was laying on his back gazing at the stars. The lev-bike had been stored back inside the space ring and he was wearing a battle suit from the federal military. The suit had the camouflage function enabled.

As long as he lay still, it was impossible to see him with naked eye. Even cultivators would not be able to note the difference between the terrain and his body. Shi Lang could tell that the researchers back in the Federation must have focused on how to make these things useful against renegade cultivators.

Another thing that he noticed was the badge of secret forces on the chest of the uniform. Shi Tao had told him that the secret divisions were all stronger than ever and they were well managed. As a former secret division soldier he could not help but feel happy and proud.

Soon, the sun came up on the horizon and Shi Lang stood up. He warmed up his muscles before he rushed through the last patch of grassland and within an hour he reached the foot of the mountains. His speed was not slow but the distance was one hundred kilometers, and standing at the foot of the mountains Shi Lang realized how gigantic the structure of these things.

He took a deep breath and used his sensory ability to check whether there were any guards at the boundaries. Thankfully, the legendary beasts did not think that Humans would one day dare to guide him over. Putting aside all the wasteful thoughts, Shi Lang moved forward and treaded the mountains slowly.

He was very cautious about everything he did in this place. Shi Lang did not wish to attract attention and he even made sure to erase his traces. This was a completely uncharted territory for him.

While moving forward he was recording the changes in the terrain and the atmosphere. He was able to breath a lot easier and the wind had a slight chill to it. This was an obvious indication that the place had abundant spiritual energy. However, what he could not understand was the sandy white ground.

The mountains were high enough to penetrate the clouds, but they were all covered with white sand grains. He bent down and felt the grains to confirm that their nature was similar to sand as he knew it.

He collected a small sample and moved forward. Sovereign Healing Hands had told him that the tomb must be located in the southern part of the mountain range and it was going to be a long journey.

Although he did not need to eat but now that his body was not flowing with spiritual energy, he would have to rest and recover his physical body. His battle suit did provide him with nano massage pads. It even regulated the temperature of the body to ensure the agent wearing it was comfortable.

He travelled for two days before taking a rest in a ditch. He just lay there with the camouflage on. Shi Lang was laying in a ditch at the top of a mountain peak. He had a clear view of the sky, and he was ready to bring out his sword the moment someone made a move on him.

His sensory abilities allowed him to sense the space around him for over ten kilometers, and he was surprised because many spirit beasts were outside their lairs and gathering together. They were not fighting but they were gathered together. He was thinking if he should get closer to the group and see what they were doing. However, after some thought, he decided not to probe in too much.

If the spirit beasts detected him and they alerted a legendary beast it would be a problem. He did not wish to die on his first night in this place. Just as the thought of giving up popped up in his head, a human figure appeared before the group of spirit beasts.

The next thing Shi Lang 'saw' through his ability was the human figure grab a spirit beast and tearing it in two. The Terran took in a deep breath and thought, 'Thank god, I did not approach that group.'

It was not that the spirit beasts didn't want to run away, but they could not run away. The human figure had really locked down on them and they all were frozen. Shi Lang realized that legendary beasts were not simply just strong, but they were intolerant towards the weaker creatures.

The human figure tore apart three spirit beasts from the group and then waved his hand before vanishing. The spirit beasts all fell to the grounds as they were drained of energy and wits to react. Shi Lang did not move, he controlled everything in his body, even his heartbeat was stopped, he opened his pores to infuse the oxygen directly into his body.

This skill was not to be used until it was necessary because the body would not be able to reject the carbon dioxide trapped in his blood without the blood streaming through the lungs. Shi Lang did this because he was afraid that the human figure might show up in the void above the ditch and tear him apart.

...

In the Martial Council Palace, everyone was sitting around a big table and they were discussing the things that Shi Lang bought up in the meeting a night before. Many people were in opposition to even entertain such an idea, however, their were some that supported this idea.

Amethyst said, "You all do not have to get so worked up. Go back and think about this topic over the coming days, because it will effect not only us, but even the future generations."

These were old people and at the top of their game as they were worthy of sitting in the top brass positions, so they agreed with her and the council was adjourned.

Amethyst asked, "What do you think? How is he doing?"

Old Man Yanshu said, "I have no idea, but guessing from his wits, he might still be alive."
