Shi Lang made his move, and he left the entire capital in shock. They did not expect this young man to be this strong. Shi Lang said his move was the line he drew between the imperial and Shi family. The old Imperial Guardian was shocked by the impact of the casual move Shi Lang made.
He remarked, “As expected of a genius from the Spirit Heart Sect. I cannot keep you here in the Tian Kingdom without pushing the Kingdom into the flames of war. Why do you need to take your family away?”
Shi Lang gazed at the old man and said, “I have already explained everything to you early on. I will not say the same thing to you again. You and your opinions are of no effect to me.”
Then he turned around without caring for the old man to attack him. Liang Ping and the rest were hesitant but recalled what Shi Lang had said earlier. They were the disciples of the Spirit Heart Sect and core disciples. If they were to be harmed by the Tian Kingdom, the Kingdom would suffer the wrath of Mei Lingyao.
Tian Longjian narrowed his gaze, and he wished to attack Shi Lang and kill him. However, he heard the old man say, “If you wish to die, then go on and try to make a move for them.”
The crown prince asked, “Elder, is he really that strong?” 𝑜𝗏𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t
The old man said, “You are a Sword Grandmaster, but he is already close to the realm of a Sword Fairy. The difference is too much. One of his attacks can obliterate you out of existence.”
Tian Longjian was shocked. The old man said, “Let the Shi Family go wherever they want to.”
They watched as the group of cultivators left the place. Tian Longjian was unreconciled, but he was too weak at this moment. He clenched his fist and said, “I will catch up to him and return this humiliation.”
The old man shook his head and said, “You think he will wait for you to advance and let you defeat him? You have a sword heart, which only helps you comprehend the sword skills. Such a thing does not aid him. Do you understand the talent level one needs to comprehend such a skill? Just focus on your skills and learn to be content. The end won’t be far if you chase after things you can never achieve. However, if you wish to avenge the humiliation, do it when you are sure he will die. Otherwise, you will only invite death to the royal family and the citizens of the Tian Kingdom.”
Tian Longjian seemed to have attained the dao itself. He appeared very calm and nodded to the old man before he said, “Elder, I will return to my cultivation.”
The old man nodded while stroking his beard. Although he had been talking to the young crown prince, his gaze was locked on the shining cliff wall. This place will become a landscape of Shi Lang’s life in the future. It was a reminder that the Tian Kingdom should not mess with him.
The old man sighed and returned to the palace. This matter was over until someone decided to fuck them over.
…
Shi Lang told Shi Yulong that he had settled things with the imperial family and that they should prepare for relocation. He told Shi Yulong that he would send a few disciples to help them with the move. The family was gratified because this was their chance to rise.
After dealing with the affairs, the group flew to the Spirit Heart Sect. This time, they used the spirit vessel that Wen Lengxue had in possession. The vessel was a faster mode of transportation. Shi Lang did not wish to waste any more time than necessary. He was getting anxious about his cultivation, too.
In the past month, he spent almost all his time pondering over spear skills, and his cultivation had not improved even a bit. The Terran sighed and stood on the bow of the vessel. He sighed. Liang Ping walked over from behind him and asked, “Junior Brother, why do you sigh?”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I am worried about my cultivation.”
Liang Ping sighed and said, “You have to be patient. This rush will not help you in the long run.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “I know what you mean. This past month, I have not spent even a day cultivating. I do not seek progress, but I wish to consolidate my foundation.”
Liang Ping thought and asked, “You are correct, but over time, the foundation consolidates. Why are you worried?”
The terran said, “The element of lightning is unlike the others you can practice if you do not practice them over time. They go dormant. On the other hand, lightning gets restless. If I stop pursuing a higher realm, there is a chance that I might face a backlash.”
Liang Ping was surprised to hear such a thing. Then he thought and said, “You cultivate the destructive element of the Lightning. This is why you are in such a bind, right?”
Shi Lang nodded and replied, “I have no other way. A tamed lightning is even more volatile and can go out of control at any given time.”
Liang Ping watched the clouds brush aside the hull and said, “Do not worry. We will reach the sect in a couple of hours.”
Shi Lang sighed again and fell silent. Liang Ping stood up and watched things silently along with him. Hours passed by and Shi Lang became more anxious. He didi not know what to say about this rush. He has been on the battlefield and many times he had almost died but he never sensed such an emotion.
As the vessel docked to the mountain port Shi Lang smiled. He thought that since he was living for a second time, nothing in the world would shake his heart, however, he was wrong about it.
Turned out that despite all the time he spent living, his spirit was still young.
