Shi Lang was enraged when he recovered all this. In the end, he also found that this person was not the real enemy. It was someone else, the main dark hand has created several puppets to facilitate his work. Shi Lang put this matter to a side and decided to take a look at his comrades and then, cure their problems. Otherwise, given the strength of the Ace division, they will obliterate this planet and this empire to dust for sure.
He sat down on the ground and began to meditate, he was thinking about the problem at his hands and wanted to deal with it at any cost. The most worrying part was that this guy had captured Amelia. Although her identity as Shi Lang’s wife was still under wraps. Once it was discovered, it will turn into a terrible card against Shi Lang.
He did not want to imagine the situation where he and Amelia stood at loggerheads. He will not be able to put her down, no matter how indifferent he reacted. Love was armor but it also had a chink in it. Once the enemy spotted this chink, it could be game over at the most crucial step. To deal with the enemy surely, Shi Lang decided to call for his aid.
He used his communicator and passed a message to OB-One. This bot was traveling around the arcadian planet in a stealth scout vessel, detecting the spirit herbs all over the planet. The efficiency and speed of this bot were terrifying. It has been a day since he took the task to move ahead of the team and infiltrate the planet with a stealth scout vessel and he had gathered three herbs out of the four that were needed by Shi Lang to proceed securely.
OB-One had found traces of what he was looking for and said, “Sire, give me half an hour and I will give you a positive answer.”
Shi Lang agreed, just when he was thinking about how to cover the tribulation, he received a text from Jack, and he said, ‘Boss, the Ace division is here, and they are all locked up. However, Commander Silence is not doing good. There is a guy who seems to be in control of everything. I could only discern this much thanks to my ability. Ryan tried to get close, but he was almost discovered. We do not dare to make any moves.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShi Lang could tell that this text was clean, so he replied, ‘Retreat, come over to position, and make sure that you move as slowly as possible and do not leave any traces. I repeat you must not be followed back. The enemy is very cunning. I do not wish to see anyone else fall into this pit as well. Regroup and we will take action together.’
The text was sent to Jack, and Shi Lang went back to his meditation. After half an hour, OB-One requested his coordinates and arrived at the spot a hundred kilometers away from where Shi Lang originally was. The young general did not trust anyone. He had genuine reason to think that his team has been compromised, after all, the person who did all this was so close to Cara that he knew about Zyra’s prowess and even managed to control her.
OB-One alighted the space vessel and came to Shi Lang’s side. He said, “Sire, I have gathered them all.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “I will refine the pill, but I need you to do some things for me.”
The bot bowed and said, “Your wish is my command.”
Shi Lang sighed and said, “Monitor the team, and these coordinates for me. Check if the team is psychologically fine, if you find even the slightest deviation, subdue them and put them in confinement. As for these coordinates, make sure that there is no movement from the Ace Division or Commander Silence. Do locate the men of the secret division for me, track Cara, and hack into the satellites. But find me that brat.”
OB-One nodded and said, “Yes, Sire.”
Then Shi Lang went inside the stealth vessel and the bot sat in front of a computer console and began tinkering with the defense system of the planet. His speed was fast and his incursion was undetectable.
The young general used the spiritual energy to resonate with the herbs and began to extract the impurities from the herbs, after ten minutes, the herbs had turned into four different blobs of liquid spirit essence. Shi Lang carefully merged the four essences and condensed them with the pressure of spiritual energy.
This process could not be performed without the concentration array. After an hour, he was done with condensing a pill that looked translucent green in color and was as big as lychee. Then he made said to the bot, “I will go into seclusion, and try to breakthrough, hold the fort for me.”
OB-One nodded and said, “Certainly, Sire.”
…
Shi Lang sat in a lotus position under a big tree similar to the banyans found on the earth. He was calming his state of mind before he took the pill to start the process of his breakthrough. The young man gave up all the thoughts and then he placed the green lychee bead in his mouth. The pill melted and spiritual energy dripped down his throat, turning the calm flow of spiritual in his meridians into a chaotic storm.
Shi Lang did not bother to control it at all, according to the shura sutra in his mind, the flow of this energy with redirect itself to his soul sea, the pineal gland hidden behind a callous bone-like substance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis energy flow will break that barrier and activate his primordial soul. All he had to do was to let the energy rage inside him and preserve his meridians and control his body to the limit to push it all in the desired direction inside the body. So he coated the inside of his meridians with his spiritual energy and waited. It was like a volcano, the veins were filled with lava, and Shi Lang’s body was akin to a bottle.
He squeezed his muscles and the lava churned upwards, aimed right at the soul sea barrier. The process was anything but bliss, Shi Lang had closed his pores and the energy inside was unable to escape, but the repeated charge at the barrier had left his body to be covered in sweat and the blood from his face was missing. The pain from the collision of the spirit energy and pineal gland was too painful.
Shi Lang did not give up, he imagined the pineal gland to be akin to a door, and then began to look for a crack in the door, and began to challenge it again. This was the reality, the young Terran general had always found results in unconventional methods, and today he was at it again.
He did not hesitate and began to control the muscles inside the body in a manner so that the spiritual essence began to swirl like a twister. This was a hard thing and very painful as well, but he had to bear with the pain to get to the next level. Thinking about the fact that his team was still controlled by the enemy, his fighting spirit was ignited and he ground his teeth as the twister shot out like a drill and impact was made on the target.
The impact left a crack on the barrier and Shi Lang knew that it was this moment that he had been looking for, if he did not take the advantage of the crack now, then the next time he ever gets to make a crack on the barrier, it will probably be ten years from now. The process will be at least twice more painful.
Shi Lang did not want that and churned the drill to hit the crack again. After three tries, Shi Lang heard a clear crack in his mind. He could not describe the scene he saw next. In his mind, a baby was sitting on the floor. This baby was his primordial soul and was looking round in a daze.
Shi Lang walked closer to the baby and the infant looked up at him, and then his consciousness drifted inside the baby’s body. The dull eyes became enlightened and Shi Lang looked around to find that the scenery was dull, it only had green grass that was as big as a football field.
Shi Lang could also tell that his aura had become stronger and his temperament had become dusty. He was like an immortal from the heavens. However, just as his aura was rising, turmoil was brewing in the surrounding weather.
The sky was now gradually turning dark and Shi Lang knew what it was, he stood up and said, “OB-One, I do not want anyone to know what is going on here.”
The bot replied, “Creating a blind spot for the world.”
He was going to make the satellites move away for his gain. Then Shi Lang gazed at the dark cloud and the blue-colored lightning as he said, “Long time no see.”
