Shi Lang stood at the bottom of the abyss and took a deep breath. He could not sense any spirit energy here, but the cold yin was really strong. He could not help but shiver as the energy tried to invade his body. He took a deep breath and circulated the lightning spiritual energy through his body.
His body warmed up and then he walked forward. It did not take long for him to come upon the remains of a person. He could not sense any decay on the corpse of the human expert. Thinking about this he knelt down on the ground next to the corpse. He mumbled a prayer and then probed the corpse with his spiritual energy.
However, just when he did that, a blob of light flew out of the forehead of the corpse. Shi Lang was shocked and he placed his hand on the spear shaft ready to attack, but then one after the other such blobs flew out from the foreheads of the corpses. Shi Lang could feel his heart leaning up to his mouth.
For as far as he could see, the abyss was filled with these glowing lights. A loud voice filled with battle intent echoed in the surroundings, "Who goes there?!"
The roar was so loud that it made Shi Lang's soul break into fragments. The Terran quickly bent his back and said, "Junior Shi Lang greets senior."
The voice snorted and asked, "What is a weakling like you doing here?"
Shi Lang raised his head and said, "I was sent here to bring back the fallen forces back to the sects."
The voice asked, "Hmm, could they not find anyone else but a Dao Soldier to bring us back?"
Shi Lang sighed, he forced himself to calm down as this person was getting on his nerves. He replied, "Sir, I came here because I drew the task scroll in selection process for the Martial Spirit Hall."
The voice hummed and said, "Can you tell me what is going on with the lack of spiritual energy around us?"
Shi Lang replied, "There is a storm of spiritual energy surrounding the Abyss. It happened after the battle here ended. None of the experts are able to come in. The spirit storm is the reason why there is no spiritual energy in the surroundings."
The voice hummed, Shi Lang sensed that some of the light blobs were gradually dimming down. He took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, can you tell me what is happening to here? How can you still communicate?"
The voice of the person answered, "Well, after the war, none of us had much energy left. Many of our people were already waiting for us on the other side. At that moment, we could sense that the spiritual energy was already diminishing. However, none of us had the energy to investigate it. At our last breaths we decided to seal away our spiritual presences in our bodies." Continue reading on m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
Shi Lang took a deep breath and bowed to the lighting blobs, "I cannot say much to you but I thank you for your sacrifice for the human race. Thank you, Senior."
A booming laughter echoed in the surroundings, and the person said, "We did what we had to do. If not us, there would have been someone else. Well, don't think much about it. I hope you have an image stone, I want to leave a few words for the people back home. From everyone."
Suddenly someone yelled, "I see him!"
They all looked at the spirit storm, and found a figure moving through the Spirit Storm. All of them were shocked, because at this moment, Shi Lang was completely unscathed, the spirit storm had no effect on him. A few minutes later, he walked through and appeared before them. The elders guarding the place immediately gathered around him.
Shi Lang cupped his fist and greeted them with a bow. One of the old man exclaimed, "Unity of Dao & Man. Good lad you gained something all of us could only dream of."
Shi Lang replied, "It was only a stroke of luck sir."
Lou Shin asked, "Did you meet the goal?"
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Yes, Instructor Lou, I did not let down the seniors. Senior Shen Yu and the rest left a message for everyone. They wished to be buried there, and I helped them with it. However, I bought back their space rings and jade plates. Another thing that I did was to bring back the remains of those Soul Scepter bastards for the elders to study."
The old men were looking at him as if they were watching a treasure. Shi Lang bowed to all the elders and said, "Seniors, if you do not mind, may I go back to the sect first to submit my task and then the elders there could help you with the rest."
The people nodded, after all they understood that Shi Lang was a junior and he was just here to do a selection task. He had no authority to dabble in the business of the seven forces.
The elder of the Martial Spirit Hall waved his hand and opened the worm hole. He said, "Go in, and submit your task."
Shi Lang wasn't surprised, he could understand that these people have been guarding this place for centuries or eons, how could they not be eager to deal with this and get some relief of bringing there heroes back home.
Lou Shin shook her head and said, "Senior, this is not good, he cannot use any help from other people."
The old man said, "Who is the selecting elder?"
Lou Shin replied, "Elder San."
The old man replied, "Bring my token, the people with red scroll get exception. I will vouch for him."
Followed by him, the six elders also took out their tokens and said, "Bring ours too, if the martial spirit hall does not accept him. We will take him in."
