Chapter 808: Technologically Overpowered.
Shi Lang looked around him and then tried some radio exercises to familiarize with the enlarged body. However, he did not find anything out of the ordinary. He jumped on his spot, and found that the mech was quite nimble. Suddenly, he noticed an icon in his vision. He thought of accessing it and found that it was a communication link.
Shi Lang thought about who it could be connecting him to when he heard Shi Tao's face appear in the void.
The lady smiled and said, "So, mom finally let you play with it."
Shi Lang chuckled and replied, "Indeed, this is a good one. Who came up with it?"
Shi Tao replied, "This was the brain child of Aunt Jane. She often said that you would like it."
The Terran smiled recalling his old friend and said, "I do like it. I am even more curious about the battle suit."
Shi Tao replied, "That tech is even more sophisticated. The Terran research center took fifty years. They knew that I will be bringing one with me and give it to you. Those people take you a bit too seriously. If not for them, Uncle Jenkins was riding their head over it and denied al the prototypes saying, it is a disgrace."
Shi Lang chuckled and shook his head. He began to perform some martial moves with the mech and while Shi Tao reported a few things to him about the front. She told him that the people have began to take the demonic energy invasion seriously.
Shi Lang proposed that they should send the blueprint of the mech to the Asura hall research and development. Shi Tao agreed and said that she will discuss this with Amelia and then proceed accordingly.
Then she went back to work, and by the time Shi Lang finished playing with the mech, Amelia came back with a battle suit. This whole thing was slightly taller than two meters, a bit taller than Shi Lang.
It was called a battle suit because it was just an armor that provided him a better defense, a slight boost in agility and attack prowess. It was nothing like the mech, and was used to explore places and leaving quickly without leaving any traces behind.
Shi Lang looked at the red and black color combination. He smiled at Amelia and said, "You still remember?"
Amelia nodded and said, "If I am correct and no one has touched our vault that your old suit is still laying their. Tao was considerate enough to scheme this after that one."
The Terran nodded and circled around the suit before he touched it on the side and the suit morphed around him as if liquid. He said, "Nano tech?"
Amelia nodded as she said, "Nano Spirit bots. They are all powered by small spiritual stone frags, all capable of powering it for ten years in a go, and similar to the mech they are hybrid. Nano engravement. You need to be careful with this. It will attract a lot of attention."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will use it with stealth mode, and stay away from humans. After all, the purpose of this expedition is to explore. I will not use them unless I am facing against a demonic sovereign."
Amelia agreed to him before she asked, "You cannot take on a Demonic Sovereign?"
Shi Lang shrugged and replied, "You can never be a bit too careful with such strong enemies. Who knows what cards they have up their sleeves."
Amelia said, "Tell me when are you going to leave?"
The Terran hesitated and said, "If I could, then I would not mind leaving right away. I think this battle suit and the mech are equipped with surveillance probes?"
The war maiden smiled and replied, "Yes they are, you do not have to worry about the communication either. Tao had a mini satellite with her, so it is placed above the War maiden sect. You can even use global positioning."
Shi Lang was stunned and he asked, "How sure are you that the satellite would not be detected by anyone? Its is orbiting in the stratosphere?"
The reply shocked him because it turned out that Shi Tao did not have just one satellite, it was a cluster of fifty such devices that divided and spread across the realm while taking note of the world beyond the stars using telescopes. Amelia also told him that these satellites carried a stick of meteor tungsten the hardest and strongest metal found in the immortal realm.
However, these satellites were only spread over the human territory. Shi Lang did not mind that, otherwise he would be spying over the demonic region and taking out sects by dropping a stick of metal from the stratosphere with the impact force of a nuclear bomb.
Shi Lang talked to Amelia for a bit and then he greeted the seniors of the sect and shared some the night with his two disciples. Listening to their stories and answering their questions. He was very thorough in guiding them and even the people who were listening to him from the side gained a lot.
He did not realize that the sun had come up as he patted Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei's heads gently. The two of them fell asleep sitting next to him as they were talking. Shi Lang did not move the whole night lest he disturbed the two of them. The girls would wake up whenever he stopped patting their heads.
In the morning, Yu Xeidi woke up first and snuggled in Shi Lang's shoulder. Hao Mei followed her example and snuggled the other side. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Lazy bugs."
The moments he shared with them reminded him of the human warmth that completed him and balanced the cold warrior that lusted for battle and blood. Shi Lang could not help but think how he would be walking a path of senseless killing had he not tamed the Shura blood lust in the federation.
He would not have been so compassionate, and the love these two girls had for him would not be there. He told Hao Mei that her brother Hao Ren has been doing well and if she wants, he would have someone deliver a spiritual communicator to him. However, Hao Mei replied, that it was not necessary for the time being.
He did not question it, the children had their own bonds, he did not wish to meddle in it.
In the noon, Shi Lang left the sect with his tech gizmos stored in a space ring that was placed inside his spirit Tattoo. When he was leaving, an old voice sounded in his mind, "Junior Shi, do not fly in the northern skies. The secret realm you seek likes across the lake of frozen time."
Shi Lang was confused but he replied, "Thank you for your advice, Senior."
Then after a prolonged hug, Shi Lang left the War Maiden sect. He did not know how the grand elder found where he wanted to go, nevertheless, it was helpful for him. He rushed out of the sect came to the first city near the War Maiden Sect and sat down inside a restaurant. The footfall of this place was relatively high as this place was really close to the sect.
Many disciples could be seen moving around on the streets.
Shi Lang ordered a common dish for himself and placed a superior spirit stone in the hand of the waiter. The young man was shocked, but Shi Lang said, "Do not worry, just tell me a few things, and I will leave."
The waiter was even more worried, you know, it was a place closest to the sect, and a stranger is asking him questions, being wry of this person could be considered a good thing. Shi Lang sighed and asked, "Kid, just tell me where can I find the lake of frozen time."
Hearing this the young waiter let go of his breath and said, "The lake of frozen times lay in the north from the city. It is a place of extreme cold and it is said that even spirit energy solidifies around the lake."
Shi Lang frowned over the vague answer, but he still nodded, and ate his porridge before he left the place. Then he used his spiritual communicator and asked Yang Niao to find if any of the Asura Hall have gathered any information about the lake of the frozen time.
Sure enough, with so many people scouring the lands, they are gathering and mapping the entire human territory and scouting for potential threats and possible opportunities. After a few minutes, Shi Lang received a detailed message from Yang Niao and found that it was basically an elaboration of what the waiter told him.
Shi Lang left the city and traveled on his own, thinking how the difference between Asura Hall and the waiter was just a few more words. He did not like that, he furrowed his brows and mumbled while traveling, 'This needs to change.'
