Ace Of Terrans

Unity retracted her consciousness from Shi Lang's soul sea and said, "The alliance may proceed."

The people did not know what just transpired between the two entities. The spirit beast community was so surprised that they could not believe what just happened. Shi Lang just subdued the guardian of their community. This was not something that any of them could have done. This young terran was not simple.

They all had doubts in their hearts but they did not dare to mention any of them. The situation was not simple and the two people involved were also not simple. So, they decided not to look deep into this matter, and gladly followed what the Sword spirit said.

Unity then exuded a slight power from her core and the hands of all the people present on the site were left with a shallow slit. A trace of blood flowed from the wound and Shi Lang and Tex took the lead to recite the oath.

"I, (Shi Lang, Tex) stand under the heavens, and with the earth as my witness, swear on my blood that I will always be fair towards the alliance between Terrans and spirit beasts..."

The two people finished saying the words, and the blood stains condensed together into a drop and then flew away to the sky. This action was followed by everyone present and when it all ended, the leaders of the two sides exchanged greetings and stepped into a new era.

Unity was watching all this from the side and, suddenly, she said, "Shi Lang, I need my answers, my patience is running short."

Shi Lang looked at her and with a sigh, he said, "I wonder how he raised you to be this unruly. Do you not know, women with a temper have it hard in life?"

The people gasped and Unity shivered, while Shi Lang said, "Fine, I will tell you all about it. Let us find a secluded place."

Unity nodded and Shi Lang looked at Amelia before he said, "You have the chain of commands, Amy."

Amelia nodded, she was obviously curious about what the two of them were going to talk about but this was not the time. She will ask Shi Lang when he comes back. That was all.

Unity waved her hand and disappeared from the place with Shi Lang. The people could not even figure out what was going on, at this moment, the leaders of the Spirit beast community stepped forward and calmed the people down.

...

Shi Lang and Unity appeared in a distant place on the war planet. This place was deemed unworthy to live in due to the difficult terrain. At this moment, Shi Lang was standing on a sharp peak that did not allow him any room to move while Untiy was floating in the void in front of him.

The young terran asked, "What do you want to know?"

Unity replied, "What are you from the beginning to now, if you dared to lie, I will kill you."

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Very well. Let me show you my past."

Then he waved his hand and the surroundings changed. The two people appeared in the middle of a street. The place was bustling with activity and Unity was surprised. She asked, "How can you cast such a technique? Your realm is not that of the Ascension immortal."

Shi Lang smiled, "This is the technique that I comprehended in the past. Till now, I never thought I had any need to use this technique. even if your realm is not high enough, but the comprehensions are never lost."

Unity thought over it and nodded, the scene depicted a desolate house stuffed in the slums. Shi Lang said, "My home, Holy Spirit Town, is located somewhere in the east of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom. I do not know the exact location now, the memory has been filtered."

Unity nodded but then she said, "Heavenly Dragon, is that not the kingdom where Master was born too?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Your Master, was the prince of the kingdom. The heavenly genius blessed with unmatched talent and skill."

The sword spirit raised her chin slightly and said, "That I understand, but what I want to know is about you."

Shi Lang replied, "I was an orphan, this house was something the people find me in. They used to say that my parents were cultivators but one day after my father did not return from a task, my mother went in search of him. However, she also did not come back. The village chief took care of me like how he did for other orphans in the village."

The scene changed and then the two people appeared at a place filled with thousands of teenagers. Shi Lang pointed at a child and said, "That is me."

Then he pointed at another person, and said, "That is your master. Apparently, we were both born on the same day, while he was blessed, I managed to absorb some of the spirit energy in the void too."

The difference between the two people was huge, Shi Lang looked sickly and had ragged clothes while Prince Long Tian was brimming with vitality and radiance. His brocade clothes stood out from the rest of the children. This place was the sect trial.

Shi Lang said, "The cruelty of this situation is that mediocre talent was not considered a talent at all."

They watched the queue move forward, while the prince was bought in by several elders, Shi Lang was classified as a failure because his results were average.

Unity could see the dejection on the child's face. Shi Lang said, "After this incident, I decided not to be bound by any sects and became a loose cultivator. The prince was born into a wealthy household and he had all sorts of elixirs that could help him with his foundation building.

However, the sect did not care about this, and later I understood that fortune was also a part of the strength. Time passed and as I grew struggling to gather resources, the difference between your master and me widened. Though I was lagging behind him by a huge margin, I would always pay attention to his news.

When he found you, he was in big trouble for offending forces opposing the Purple sun sect. He was injured and hiding when I coincidentally found him."

As Shi Lang was talking the scene was constantly changing and Unity could see all those scenes in first person. The details of the scene were impeccable. She could tell that Shi Lang was not lying and asked, "Then how did you end up in this time? None of the cultivators should have that long of a lifetime. Right?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "You watch and you will see."

The scene changed and the young man's entire life gradually came to light, and how he managed to climb to the peak of the cultivation world, but the final twist where the spirit energy was exhausted and Shi Lang choose to save the world instead of pursuing his dream, left Unity in shock.

She said, "Even master will not be able to do such a thing. You are worthy of a second chance."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I did not ask for any second chances, it was all fate that I managed to survive, however, I do not want to reveal all this to anyone.

You may think of me as a reincarnation, however, my memories are intact. I do not understand much about the laws of souls, so, I do not know how I survived, but I did. If this information is made public, it will create another debacle. The sensitivity of this matter can even implicate my family and friends too."

Unity nodded and said, "You are wise enough to think this through. However, what about your other skills from the past life?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "The techniques I found were mostly too low-grade or incomplete so they cannot be used much. As for the knowledge of forging and alchemy, they require the resources that could not be located in the Federation."

Unity sighed and said, "That explains why you are so eager for this alliance. You are still chasing after your goal. But what is your goal?"

Shi Lang was stumped and did not understand what Unity was asking about when the sword spirit said, "You said that you wanted to surpass him, but then you said you wanted to live a life without regrets. Do you really think that the reason behind your weakness and slow pace was just the chances you received?"

Shi Lang was blank and as his brain started to think, Unity said, "Take your time and think, did you really let go of your past? Did you really have no regret in your heart when you were cultivating all this time? If you cannot reach an answer, you will never be able to reopen the bridge to the path of immortality."
