Inside the spirit storm Shi Lang was moving along with the direction of the spiritual energy. His speed was quick and his steps were fine, but his body was getting sliced every few bits. Shi Lang was covered in lightning sparks, but it was not complete. Lightning sparkled over his body, but there were gaps and the spiritual energy passed through those gaps and left cuts.
Shi Lang controlled his body, and made sure that no blood seeped out of the vessels. However, the scars had turned him into a red man. Every inch of his body was covered with a red tint from the cut.
The Terran took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he ran forward. He had crossed five layers and did not know how many more layers lay ahead of him. If he wanted to get ahead, he would need to comprehend the essence of this storm.
Shi Lang could consume as much spiritual energy from the storm as he wished, and replenish his reserves while running. The trouble was the change in the barriers. The four layers, with each having a different pace, and opposite directions, it almost killed him to cross through. He could not go any further without risking death or serious injury.

Outside the spirit storm, Lou Shin and Lao Yuesha were watching the scene with great focus. They could see the lightning flash but it did not go any deeper. It was the second day, and Shi Lang was running at the same position. Many experts who were watching this were confused.
They had no idea what was going on, and one of the experts who belonged to the martial spirit hall, came over to their side. The person asked, "Instructor Lou, what do you think is going on in there. Why is he not moving deeper?"
His tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with anxiety which made Lao Yuesha look at him with surprise. The man sighed, "Please, don't get me wrong, we have been guarding this place for several centuries, but have never been able to get even a tenth closer to the storm as that kid has. We all hope for him to find a way to get in and bring back the remains of our people. That's why, I am anxious."
Lao Yuesha sighed and said, "Senior, you all should understand how difficult it is to even get as close as he is at the moment. I am sure that if not for the fact that he is facing some trouble, he would have gone forward very quickly. Give him some time, you all have waited for such a long time, what's wrong a few more days."
The man caught a hint and asked, "What do you mean by days?"
He was curious, and Lou Shin sighed as she said, "Elder, he is a kid participating in the selection process, he got a red scroll for his primary task, so I hope you understand, that if he could not finish the task by a month, then even if he keeps running for ages and eons, it won't make a difference."
The old man was shocked. He did not expect such a thing. His eyes widened as he looked in the direction of the spirit storm. He mumbled, "I never believed in gods, but if he manages to get through and bring back the remains, he will be my god, and I will fight the sect for his recruitment."
The old man was excited to the point where his face was flushed with blood. He yelled, "He got in. He got through the spirit storm. HAHAHAHA, God bless my Martial Spirit Hall."
Lou Shin asked, "Senior, how can you be so sure that he managed to get through the spirit storm."
The old man chuckled, and said, "Instructor Lou, the spirit storm started before our eyes and expanded, back in the day. We know how far the actual abyss lies. That is why I know that he has reached the eye of the storm."
Instructor Lou began to converse and record the situation. While Lao Yuesha sighed and let go of her fist. She was astounded by what Shi Lang managed to do, and at the same time, she was relieved that he was safe.

While the people outside were celebrating his break through, Shi Lang was absorbing spiritual energy like a black hole. His body healed quickly and the red marks vanished. After a few hours when he opened his eyes, his aura had changed. Shi Lang had understood something that not many people could, the Dao Flower in his Dantian was now two feet and ten inches big.
He looked around and found himself standing in a desolate plain. The ground was made of solid dark rock, and every bit of spiritual energy was being sucked away. However, it did not effect Shi Lang much.
He took out his space ring from the spiritual tattoo and put on a black robe. Then he sensed the place, and found the remains that were being mentioned in the scroll. Thousands of people and creatures were laying at the bottom of the abyss. It was a deep and narrow fissure in the ground that stretched over hundreds of kilometers. It gave off very eerie vibe, but Shi Lang couldn't back off now.
He took out his space ring, and checked the time. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that he has twenty days left to finish his task.
Two make sure that he is not caught off guard, he put on his battle suit, took out his spear and fixed it behind his back and his sword hung on his waist. Raksha said, "Kid, you sure have a sense of adventure, I swear this place does not allow me much power."
Shi Lang mumbled, "Let's hope that we don't need your power for anything."
He sent out probes and found that nothing was out of the ordinary in this place. Thinking about this, he dived into the fissure, and his battle suit illuminated the surroundings. He counted the seconds it took him to reach the ground, a complete minute, and this place was filled with restrictions. One wrong move and the fissure will erupt with some kind of explosion.
Shi Lang found thousands of spiritual array traps on the walls, he could estimate the dread of the situation those people who came here to fight must have felt.
