Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 787: Departure.

The following week passed by really quick. Shi Lang devoted his time to teach Shi Tao as many things as he could, and Yun Xue cooperated with Yang Niao and Bo Qingtan to take command of the Asura Hall. They were going to manage things before Shi Lang came back. If they needed any big help, Amelia and Fairy Moon Jade will help them.

Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei were going with Amelia to practice at the War Maiden Sect. Another significant thing was Shi Lang's name appear at the golden dragon list. He was ranked the last but he was already in a position where most of the Immortal Emperors of the world could ever reach.

During this week, Healing Hands had visited him in secret. She had come over to make sure that the Terran was not taking along any of his disciples, and also to give him a token. Shi Lang held an emerald green jade ball and asked, "Senior, what is this?"

Healing Hands replied, "This is a soul token. All the experts of the Medicine god valley are required to leave a trace of their soul energy in this thing. Incase they suffer something misfortunate, the soul token can be used to detect the last trace of their existence."

Shi Lang understood that this token could be used to locate the secret tomb of the expert. However, after what he learned about the legendary beasts he was doubting things more than ever.

He bowed in gratitude and accepted the token. Healing Hands asked, "When do you intend to leave?"

Shi Lang thought for a bit and replied, "Tonight, I will board the spirit vessel from here to the port city."

Healing Hands shook her head and said, "I will ask Yanshu to get you there, it will save you some time. On the other hand, you can avoid thinking over and over again to crush yourself."

She probed his intention with this suggestion. Shi Lang pondered for a bit before he said, "I agree, I will go find senior Yanshu at the Martial Council Palace at the stroke of midnight."

Healing hands nodded and then vanished from her spot. Shi Lang held the token and after a bit he sighed and proceeded to bid farewell to his loved ones again. Shi lang had done this many times by now, but even after all the experience it was really hard to do this.

He spent his nights with Amelia and they did some crazy love making in the last week. So, he still wanted to do that but Amelia told him that the children needed to spend sometime with him before he left.

Shi Lang compromised and spent his night with the girls and friends. It was midnight, when he said, "I should go."

His things had already been packed and Shi Tao had given him a batch of futuristic tools that did not run on spiritual energy and if he needed to use them it would come in handy. Amelia and Yun Xue wanted to see him off to the Martial Council Palace, but Shi Lang refused and said, "I will not be able to go with you watching me."

The ladies had to give up. Fairy Moon Jade was the only person who came along with him. She did not want to talk to him but she was just too anxious. Everyone could understand, her husband was already injured and incapacitated and now her brother was also going to venture inside a place that might kill him. How could she sit still?

Fairy Moon Jade replied, "You probably do not have to go. We can wait for a heavenly natural treasure to bloom."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "How long will that take? Do you think someone else will sit by and watch us take away the heavenly natural treasure? From what I have learned, it has been a few hundred years since the phoenix root grass bloomed in the central regions. Heavens are not by any means a wish granting factory, Moon."

Fairy Moon Jade nodded as they walked through the paths of the city, and she said, "But, what if, it came to be? I will give up anything I have for it to the people and then we can revive Tian."

Shi Lang sighed and held her hand. He could sense that she was emotionally rattled. He said, "You are thinking too much. If a herb came to be, do you think someone will give it up for materialistic gains? Moon, did you not hear them when they said that the soul sea cannot be created without a recipe? How can you say that the next heavenly natural treasure will help us with the soul sea?"

Fairy Moon Jade realized that she has been thinking in a wasteful direction. She clenched Shi Lang's hand and asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Shi Lang smiled and replied, "No, also can you not squeeze so hard? My palm might turn to a mush of blood."

Fairy Moon Jade looked at his already swollen fist and let go of the hand before the two of them chuckled. The atmosphere lightened and they arrived before the Martial Council Palace. This place was made like a tower, and was very minimalistic design.

Fairy Moon Jade took out a talisman from her space ring and then channeled her spiritual energy through it. The Dao Laws caused ripples and the next moment Old Man Yanshu appeared through a void tunnel. He smiled and said, "You people are really punctual."

Shi Lang greeted the old man and Fairy Moon Jade said, "I assume Healing Hands have already told you what to do?"

Yanshu nodded and said, "I was thinking where to drop him actually. I have no idea."

Shi Lang thought and said, "You can drop me outside the border cities. I will make my way to the Titan Mountains from their on foot. I think if you opened a void portal closer to the mountains it will alert the legendary beasts."

Old Man Yanshu nodded and said, "Indeed, a nice suggestion."

Shi Lang turned around and looked at Fairy Moon Jade and said, "While I am gone, try to stay strong, and look after others. Tao will be going with you, and if anything happens I will contact her."

Fairy Moon Jade nodded with a faint smile, but her eyes were brimming with worry for his safety. The two people had a bond that existed beyond life time and they saw each other as family in this world. So it was obvious that parting was a little difficult.

The two people hugged each other for a bit and then Old Man Yanshu said, "Come, it is time."

The reason they asked old man Yanshu to take Shi Lang out was because this old man was well versed in Dao Laws of space element. Even if they were all Immortal Sovereigns they did not have the skills to open a void portal to near the Titan Mountains and get by undetected.

Shi Lang patted Fairy Moon Jade on her back and then he stepped in the void tunnel behind Old Man Yanshu.

The tunnel closed behind them and all the other Immortal Sovereigns appeared beside them.

Amethyst patted Fairy Moon Jade and said, "Do not worry about it."

Moon Jade sighed and replied, "I am not worried about him but I am worried about the Legendary beasts."

The people looked at her with odd gazes and she said, "You have no idea what sort of a menace he is. He survived a span of thousand years on his own and earned the name of Scavenger King. Every sect in the lower realms dreaded him. His impulse for taking the good stuff is going to be the end of the world."

…

Shi Lang and Old Man Yanshu appeared outside the border city together and the two people did not move for a few moments. Old Man Yanshu said, "Well, seems like I've still got it."

The Terran asked, "What does that mean?"

Old Man Yanshu said, "Well, I have not used this trick in many decades now so I was thinking if any of those old things would come up to make trouble."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I do not think they ever step out of their recluse."

Yanshu nodded and said, "Whatever, it is. Young Man, you are Xiao Tan's friend, so I will give you only one advice. Do not use your spiritual energy inside the Mountain range unless you are desperate to leave."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Actually, Elder, I was thinking if you could place a seal on my body so that I cannot use my spiritual energy."

Yanshu was shocked and asked, "Have you lost it?"

Shi Lang chuckled and replied, "Elder, I was born in a world without spiritual energy and we ventured through the sea of stars without any spiritual energy."

Yanshu found it unbelievable, but after Shi Lang's persistent effort he finally sealed his spiritual energy, only leaving a small gap in the seal for space ring operation.

Shi Lang bought out a lev-bike and said, "Let's hit it."
