Ace Of Terrans

Unity was surprised even more and instantly her spirit sense covered the entire planet and said, "Let\'s go."

Shi Lang understood her intent and left the place quickly with her. Soon the two people arrived at the ruin location. The parameter was guarded strictly by military personnel. Unity and Shi Lang approached and the young man dismissed the personnel. Then he led Shi Lang inside the ruin and said, "These ruins had lots of information regarding cultivation. in these ruins I discovered the concept of the bridge of immortality. However, the knowledge about these things is still very vague."

Unity nodded and then after an inspection of the place she found the information mentioned by Shi Lang was engraved on the walls and the ceiling of the ruins. She said, "These are not ruins, this is a vault left behind by the civilization. However, looking at the features, I am sure this place was raided by a few strong experts."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Can you tell me about the bridge of immortality?"

Unity nodded and said, "The bridge of mortality is a realm after Mahayana. When Mahayana cultivators gain knowledge of their dao path, a bridge of these dao rules appears inside the dantian, connecting the soul sea in the second stage. The third stage of this realm is to find a door at the completion and this door is what opens the path of immortality."

Shi Lang nodded his head, and asked, "How did this realm got severed?"

Unity said, "The day we were transferred to a different planet, the spirit beasts became victims to the change in world rules. However, the poor fellows were held back by their lack of comprehension. They were too late to understand the changes and then when an elder reached the realm of Mahayana, he found that the bridge was unable to be constructed."

Shi Lang put up a solemn expression and said, "I do not think that I have enough knowledge to deal with the rules of the world."

Unity rolled her eyes and said, "You think too much. Nobody is asking you to undo the rules of the world. We just need you to comprehend the rules of the spirit beast world and then you pass on that understanding to the others for them to ascend."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The laws of a world can only be comprehended after a huge amount of time. Are you not being a bit too selfish by telling me this? Also, this bridge of immortality did not exist in the cultivation methods of humans. It was a spirit beast method."

Unity asked, "Then what is the method that you think would be appropriate?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Well, I will need some time to comprehend the entirety of this matter first."

Unity sighed and said, "Fair enough. Let us go, the people might be getting anxious."

Shi Lang nodded and then the two people left the ruins. The Terrans were all mingling with spirit beasts, but the tension in their eyes was almost tangible. Suddenly, someone spotted Shi Lang and the words spread very quickly.

Unity looked at Moon Baley and said, "I will now take my leave, the matter has been discussed, and the rest is left for you to ponder over with him. Make sure that you all cooperate with him and provide him with everything he needs."

Moon Baley bowed her head and asked, "Supreme Guardian please rest well."

Unity cast a gaze upon everyone and said, "I hope you all stay true to the alliance."

The people all bowed to Unity, all but Shi Lang. The sword spirit left the place the same way as she has arrived, by tearing the void. Although the people were in awe of how strong this entity was, they did not know, all this display was put up even when she had a world law limit placed on her. If she was to exert higher strength, then she would have suffered a backlash too.

The elders of the beast community all mingled for a bit when Shi Lang was approached by Moon Baley. Shi Tao reacted as soon as she saw this lady. She whispered, "Dad, this big sister is so beautiful."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "This is Senior Baley, you should address her as Elder Baley."

Shi Tao nodded and bowed slightly as she said, "Greetings Elder Baley, you look very beautiful."

Moon Baley smiled at the child and patted her head gently, but the next moment, her gaze fluctuated and she said, "To think, I will encounter a special physique. You must work hard to become strong, child."

Shi Tao nodded and said, "I will do it, Elder."

Shi Lang looked at Vanessa, who was sneaking peeks at them, and said, "Vanessa, take care of Tao for me."

Vanessa flinched but then reacted quickly. She hurriedly bowed to Moon before running away with Shi Tao. Moon saw this and chuckled, "They are very cautious."

Shi Lang nodded, "Cannot be helped, they all grew up in an atmosphere where the code of conduct was simply too imposing."

Moon nodded and then asked, "I wonder what are your thoughts over the matter discussed by Senior Unity?"

Shi Lang replied, "I have told her that I need some more time to think. I am willing to help but the information I have is a bit too shallow to deal with something as massive as the laws of a world."

Moon nodded and said, "How about I allow you access to the records of the citadel?"

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and said, "I do not mind, but will the other elders be fine with it?"

Moon nodded and Shi Lang asked, "I have a question that has been bugging me for a long time now."

Moon asked, "What is it?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I do not understand why you think that I will be able to relieve the situation?"

Moon Baley smiled and said, "Cara scouted you by coincidence, but later your achievements and the way you paved your path were what assured us of your character. What we need is not your strength, but your character."

...

Shi Lang nodded and soon the meeting came to an end. The people all retired to their beds while the spirit beasts returned to their own planet. The teleportation array was now established and both sides were coming up with methods for travel across planets.

While the governments were busy arranging smooth channels, Shi Lang sat on the ground near his bed and pondered over the question that Unity mentioned to him. The young man was going through the memories in his mind and his mind was stuck in a blank state.

Reliving the moments that he had gone through and almost forgotten, he was trying to find what was his goal in life. Was it to live without remorse? Or was it to chase after the Emperor Supreme?

He was very confused and after thinking about it he found that probably this was the reason why he had chinks in his understanding of the dao. Shi Tao saw her father sitting blankly on the ground and decided to wake him up. She jumped on his back and coiled her arms around his neck and asked, "Baba, what are you thinking about?"

Shi Lang woke up and with a faint smile, he asked, "How do you know that I am thinking about something?"

Shi Tao replied, "When mom misses you, she always sits blankly."

Shi Lang asked with a dramatic tone, "Oh, how do you know that?"

Shi Tao snuggled closer to him and said, "What is there to not know? It is obvious, she has a faint silly smile on her lips. All the big sisters in the class feel pity for her."

Shi Lang chuckled and said, "You know if your mother gets to know this, you will be in trouble."

Shi Tao said while humming, "Will you not protect your princess Baba?"

Shi Lang\'s grabbed the little one in his arms and said, "You sure have become very naughty, princess."

The two entangled with each other and then Shi Lang mumbled, "I wish I never had to think about a certain goal in life."

Shi Tao replied, "Why have one goal? Is it taboo to have multiple goals? Can you not just achieve one goal after the other?"

Her questions were like bombs exploding inside Shi Lang\'s mind. He gulped a mouthful of saliva and said, "My darling, you are a genius."

Shi Tao snorted and said, "You only got to know today?"
