Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang mumbled under his breath, and the sword in his hand dispersed into golden particles before it condensed into a human form. The sword spirit said, "You do not have to do anything. It is just that I am a bit stronger than your body can hold on to. The intent you wish to channel is amplified with me in your hand. I try to restrain myself, but you know how it is when you are a heavenly spirit weapon. Oh, wait! You don't." 

The terran agreed with the first half of her conclusion, but the latter part was ignored. He said, "Let's go and check this special valley. Lei Hu bought me here, and those people were guarding it with their lives. Come on." 

Shi Lang walked forward with his hands behind his back. He also maintained his sensory ability to ensure he was ready if any furious beast or human jumped up at him. 

Although he had Raksha behind him, he did not wish to rely too much on her. She was strong, but she could not stay by his side forever. After all, the world outside was filled with countless experts. He was not yet strong enough to face them. He was stronger than the people in the same realm, but he was not good enough to face off against an expert in the Immortal Lord realm. 

Even if he managed to fend them off, he would be screwed if the people from an even higher realm chased after him. A man's wealth brought him trouble. Shi Lang entered the valley, looked around, and sighed, "If only they were here." 

They in his mouth were the people from his family. This valley was so beautiful that it rendered all the places he had ever seen barren landscapes. It was not that every inch of this place was filled with flowers or anything, but the balance of the scenery was impeccable. 

He wished he could take this place away and let the people know what it was like. Shi Lang stood at the entrance of the valley and watched everything. He was etching every detail of the valley in his mind. Raksha reached out to raise his hand, and then she said, "Why not take a few pictures of this place with your communicator?" 

The terran shook his head and said, "I realized something inside the palace." 

Raksha raised her brow and asked, "What is that?" 

Shi Lang replied, "I have been too dependent on devices. They do not belong to this world and have limited usage. I cannot rely on it forever." 

Raksha nodded and said, "You can still use your knowledge from the lower realm to combine the two things. Right?" 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I can use it, but I must deepen my knowledge first. I have no idea about the metals in this world. Since I came here, all the time has been spent chasing the cultivation realm. I wish to be strong enough to deal with the enemy before me. Although I do not like to cause trouble, people's greed will always trouble others, and that is when I do not mind raising a storm." 

Raksha nodded and said, "Do not worry. You are at the peak of the Immortal General realm, and you can take some time to focus on things like array formations and forging. Your mind is faster and better than the people here. With the aid of spiritual energy. You might be able to create something that will help the entire world."

Shi Lang smiled faintly and asked, "What is the point of doing so? How will it help me? If some strong expert got a hold of me, they would come after me." 

Raksha shook her head and said, "If your communicator worked, you will be a revolutionary inventor, and the heavens will bless you with the halo of Heavenly Merit." 

Shi Lang asked, "What is that?" 

Raksha said, "When I advanced to the level of a heavenly spirit weapon, I awakened many knowledge fragments hidden deep in my core. These fragments originated from the lightning tribulation. Among these fragments, I found the Halo of Heavenly Merit. 

For Example, imagine how easy it would become to locate the people and call for rescue if you managed to create something like a communicator. Our talismans take a lot of time and cannot be activated without coughing blood. 

The time it saves would be equal to the lives saved. The impact will be significant against the Demons." 

Shi Lang pondered it, saying, "What if the demons got a hand over it and altered the design, they will become quick as us." 

Raksha sighed and asked, "Are you the same Shi Lang I knew then? Where is your brain?" 

Shi Lang furrowed his brows and said, "So you mean to say I should take preventive measures? Right?" 

The sword spirit smiled and said, "Yes." 

She thought that the problem had been solved. But Shi Lang was not so easily convinced. He said, "I will try what I can do, but we should explore the valley now. They were guarding the entrance, and I cannot help but think they found something inside." 

Raksha nodded, and the two moved deeper inside the valley. The terran looked around, and suddenly, his gaze fell on a tree in the middle of the valley. He said, "It must be this tree." 

The sword spirit gazed at the towering tree, and she was surprised. She said, "If you had not mentioned it, I would not have noticed this big guy." 

Standing before a tree at least seventy meters tall, they had almost overlooked this creature. Shi Lang shook his head and said, "This realm is filled with many treasures." 

Raksha nodded and said, "Indeed, look at this tree. I can tell that it is about to gain higher sentience." 

Shi Lang nodded, looked at Lei Hu, and asked, "Did you bring us here for this tree?" 

The thunder tiger gazed at him with disdain brimming in his eyes. The beast did not say anymore and walked around the tree. Shi Lang and Raksha were surprised by this. They did not expect that there was something even more precious in this valley than this tree. 

They followed the tiger cautiously around the tree, and when they arrived at the destination, they were surprised to see a tomb. Shi Lang could not help but wonder to whom this tomb belonged, but he could feel a strong aura from the stones stacked upon each other. 

He quickly bowed and prayed to the tomb. Gradually the agitated pressure calmed down. Shi Lang gazed at the sword spirit, who tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What is it?" 

  Raksha raised her hand, and her index finger pointed at the tombstone. There were a few words written there. Shi Lang looked closer to the font etched on the stone and read it out loud, "My name is Flame Spear. When I was alive, I was an immortal god. However, in this battle, I was defeated by that brave demonic cultivator, Shadow Blade. As I fell, I discovered he was not in the wrong. We were. Thus, I decided to entomb myself. 

I will not be able to last for more than a few years, and if someone fated manages to come here and find my tomb, then I leave you my armor and my skills. I have a simple test for you, pick up the armor and wear it. If you can take ten steps away from my grave, then the armor will be yours, and so will be the skills." 

Shi Lang was surprised, and then he looked at Raksha and asked, "What do we do now?" 

Raksha shrugged and said, "How would I know what you want to do? You decide whether you wish to try this gamble or not. After all, from the footprints under the armor, it seems that those youngsters were trying to lift the armor, but they could not even take one step. How will they move ten." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Let me try and see if I can move it." 

The armor looked like a vest of iron with golden patterns carved over it. Shi Lang put his arms through the holes and moved forward. However, he could not move even an inch, and the armor resisted him. Shi Lang did not put in too much effort. He knew better than to waste his energy. 

As he gazed at the armor, he raised his brow and thought of something. He stepped closer to the armor and bit the tip of his thumb. A few drops of blood dripped on the armor and suddenly, a red halo surrounded it. Shi Lang took a step back and watched as the flame-like halo turned into the figure of a middle-aged man. 

The man gazed at Shi Lang and said, "To think that someone will finally see through the trick. Good job young one." 

Shi Lang was caught between tears and laughter. He did not expect that the arrow he fired in the dark would hit the target.
