Shi Lang left the city, the location where the abys was located happened to be the west. He took out a small levitating bike from his space ring. He looked at Lao Yuesha and Lou Shin, who were scrutinizing the bike.
He said, "Senior, I will not hide it from you, I come from a lower realm. This device is called a lev bike. It does not use the spirit stones, and its speed is comparable to the middle grade spirit ship. Is it alright if I use it?"
Lou Shin was surprised by the fact that Shi Lang came from the lower realm. She asked, "Are you not worried that I might be one of the forces who would like to keep you inside the cage world?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "The cage had nothing to do with the seven forces. It was created by the three holy lands of the east."
Lou Shin nodded and said, "However, do you not hold the big forces guilty for not stepping in this matter?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "I do not, an elephant does not have any interest in what an ant does as long as the ant does not become a threat to it."
Lou Shin nodded and asked, "Good, go ahead, do whatever you want to. The only rule is to not harm the innocent."
Shi Lang thanked her and hopped on the bike. He tapped the interaction console on it. The body of the lev-bike changed, it looked like a spearhead. Shi Lang did not care about the other people, he revved the engine and the bike shot off.
Lou Shin and Lao Yuesha both were shocked. They did not expect for this artifact to have such a high speed. The former said, "What is this artifact? I cannot sense its spiritual energy fluctuations."
Lao Yuesha shrugged and said, "I cannot speak, remember?"
Lou Shin suddenly appeared surprised and then the two of them followed the bike. Shi Lang could see them in his rear view mirrors. He took a deep breath and said, "Initiate hyper drive."
The on-board computer replied, "Initiating, please select the coordinates."
Shi Lang selected the coordinates and the lev bike rose in altitude. After they had cleared the clouds, the bike squeezed and vanished. Lou Shin and Lao Yuesha were shocked, but they were both Dao King and Dao Emperor realm figures respectively. They shot off too.
The distance of the journey would take him five days on the usual was shortened to two days, because during the navigation he found really tall mountains were standing in his way and he had no choice but to bypass them.
However, the capability of the artifact shocked the people. Shi Lang landed on the ground and what stood before him was a marvel that captivated many people. There were many people who seemed to be camping outside the spirit storm. The energy was revolving around in a circular motion, creating a barrier around the abyss.
Shi Lang agreed with her and raised his head to look at the spirit storm. He said, "I will try something, let's see if it will work."
He circulated his spiritual energy around and inside his body. He was covered in golden lighting sparks. Thinking about it, he took off his battle suit. Lao Yuesha asked, "Why did you take that off?"
Shi Lang replied, "The bigger you are, the faster you get cut."
Lou Shin was surprised and asked, "If that is so, then what about weapons?"
Shi Lang sighed, "You cannot change the direction of a weapon inside the storm. Now, I am off."
He vanished from his spot. He did not move directly straight through the storm. He moved along the edges for a few laps. It took him three hours to finish a few laps, and his speed was already at the peak of his limit. Shi Lang was doing too many things at the same time.
He was absorbing spiritual energy, he was comprehending the nature of spiritual energy, the sheer strength that could kill and erase anything in its path, and finally he was running at his fastest.
The people guarding the place were watching him. With every step he took, Shi Lang grew closer to the storm, and after five hours, he vanished inside the first layer of the spirit storm. Everyone trained their ears to listen.
They could not sense anything inside the storm, so they could only resort to hear his screams as he was shredded by the storm. However, they could not hear anything. The people of the seven big forces were guarding the place and when they saw this, they all clenched their fists.
Suddenly, Lao Yuesha said, "There, you can see his lightning flash for a moment if you focus on one point."
The people took this hint and sure enough, every few minutes, they could see a lightning flicker inside the spirit storm. Lou Shin took out a journal and began to write down the details she observed. She was noting down the number and direction of the layers inside the storm. Shi Lang was using his life and she was going to put it to the best use.
Even if the young man did not survive this task, he would have helped the Martial Spirit Hall a lot. Lao Yuesha was the same, but she was recording everything in her mind. Lou Shin had to show the data to the people of the sect but she did not.
...
Inside the storm, Shi Lang was cursing the situation, his face was covered with cuts and his clothes had already vanished. Thankfully, when he was in the first layer only, he took off his space ring and placed it inside the tattoo. Because he could tell that the spiritual energy of the storm was much more volatile than expected. Even his lightning was akin to a tamed beast before this thing.
Now he was not running to get through the storm, but for his life.
