Shi Lang collected the corpse, leaving the black forest on the back of his spirit horse. While riding Hei Lei, he suddenly recalled something that made him sigh. The terran rushed forward for a night and stopped near a pond. He checked his surroundings, and then, using his mental connection with the inheritance palace, he opened a portal in the void before him.
A black figure emerged from the portal and landed gracefully on the ground. Shi Lang gazed at the lightning leopard and asked, “How have you been?”
The lightning leopard raised his head and roared at Shi Lang. The terran scratched his head and said, “I am sorry, I did not mean to forget you there. It was just that the palace was not yet settled, and we needed to have some security.”𝗈𝑽𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t
The lightning leopard did not care about it and just turned his head away. Shi Lang had forgotten Lei Hu inside the inheritance palace. Although that place was a nice cultivation place, Lei Hu was a feline and needed more activity other than cultivation.
Spirit beasts were not blessed with high comprehension, and thus, the cultivation process was long and boring. During this whole time, Hei Lei was watching everything from the side. He was not interested in dealing with this guy. After all, Lei Hu was now stronger than ever before.
The big cat had now stepped into the realm of a Spirit beast king. The terran sighed and said, “Okay, stop acting like a child. It was only advantageous for you to have reached a higher level. What are you being so angry about? I was not out having fun, alright?”
Lei Hu was surprised when he saw Shi Lang losing his cool. But thinking about it, he calmed down and growled.
Shi Lang said, “We are heading to the Teixian city. I have a feeling that I might need your help.”
Lei Hu nodded and growled lightly before he went to the side and rested on the ground. Shi Lang sighed as he mumbled a few things internally, ‘How come all these guys have such big personalities?’
He sat on the pond’s edge, submerging his feet in the water. Shi Lang took a heavy breath, and it had been long since he had taken any break from his monotonous routines.
…
On an ice peak, a young lady sat atop a boulder with her eyes closed. She did not seem bothered by the cold in the wind and the gazes of the people around her.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, “What are you all looking at? Leave. Don’t you know this is a restricted place? Get going before I complain to the great elder.”
The disciples cringed a bit, and then they gradually left the place. The girl who had just appeared before everyone was none other than Ying Yu. She walked up to the boulder and said, “Sister Amelia.”
The lady on the boulder was Amelia, who had been cultivating for a week. She opened her eyes slowly, revealing a faint charm of her beauty. She looked at Ying Yu and got down from the boulder before she asked, “Senior Sister Ying.”
Ying Yu smiled bitterly at the lack of expression this lady displayed. She was given a special status inside the sect. However, due to the rules of the sect. None of the elders had accepted her as a disciple. They provided her with shelter and good enough resources for the favor shown to them by Shi Lang.
Ying Yu nodded a bit, and then she passed her a space ring. She said, “This is your share of the loot we made in the beast tide.”
Amelia held the space ring and bowed slightly to the lady before her. The resources of a force in the central land were greater than what Shi Lang had ever received in the Spirit Heart Sect in his earlier life in the immortal plane. She did not know all this earlier when she had come to this place, and the elders denied accepting her as a disciple. She was not disappointed but wanted to leave the sect to train independently.
She was not clueless. Years of military service were not for show. However, Ying Yu stood beside her and pleaded with the sect to give her at least a place. After all, they could not return the virtue Shi Lang showed in this manner. The elders were still hesitant, and Ying Yu said, “If that person reached a realm that you think is the peak, then he will surely come to seek revenge. The inheritance that has allowed us to improve so quickly would mean nothing to that guy, and he will make the sect pay a price.”
The elders and the sect mistress were shocked and enraged at such words. However, when they were about to attack Amelia and kill her, an old voice sounded from the depths of the sect, and the sect mistress calmed down.
That day was a few months ago. Since then, Amelia has been cultivating this place. She was not even given a cottage. However, she used her survival skills and made herself a makeshift tent. The grand elder told her she could only leave the place when she reached the Immortal Lord level.
That was what Amily had been working so hard for. During this time, Amelia had been bought out for expeditions by Ying Yu and her fellow sisters. They all had a good impression of Amelia, not only because of Shi Lang but also because of her nature. She was calm, polite, and a damn good fighter.
She had often saved their lives despite being in a weaker realm. Thus, they treated her like one of their own. Amelia also did not let them down, and she would strive forward with all and any resources she could get. In just a few months, she had reached the peak of the immortal general realm, and now, she could reach the Immortal Lord realm at any time.
The grand elder of this sect did not take her in as a disciple, but she imparted Amelia with the nine yin cultivation sutra. Amelia looked at the space ring and then at Ying Yu. The latter smiled and said, “I know you are about to breakthrough. This space ring contains the cores of all the ice-attributed beasts we killed. You should use them to break through.”
Amelia nodded and said, “May I go back to cultivate?”
Ying Yu smiled bitterly and said, “Fine, you cultivation maniac, go.”
