Shi Lang laughed as his body was flung away from the impact of the lightning strikes. The terran did not hold back and kept standing up from the ground. Wen Lengxue, struck by his madness, watched Shi Lang absorbing the lightning energy in his body.
Hu Shan said, "Is he charging to the Immortal Soldier realm?"
The guardian elder's voice sounded, "Indeed, he is doing that."
Liang Ping expressed his doubt, "How can he do that? The energy and ti needed to reach this level cannot be matched by a few hours in the lightning valley."
Guardian Elder replied, "The attribute of his energy is lightning. It is not a docile by any margin. Shi Lang is refining his body, immortal soul, and sword intent with the lightning at the sa ti."
Liang Ping and the rest were surprised. They did not expect such a thing to be possible. Bai Yan said, "How can soone manage so many things simultaneously?"
"He must have trained his brain to heights none of us can do. Looking at this young man, I feel like the Sect can finally bask in the light we have been missing all these years. I know you all want to know how he is doing it. Learning from him is the motive why your elders sent you here, right?" said the Gaurdian Elder.
The students nodded, and suddenly, they could watch the spirit flow inside Shi Lang's body. They did not initially understand what it was all about, but when they saw how his body was changing under the influence of the spirit energy. They did not know what to say.
Impurities in his body were being expelled, and as the spirit energy ran through his dantian, it refined the quality of his spirit energy. The sight vanished, and the old man said, "Everyone has their secrets. I showed you the sight to understand that Shi Lang is suing imnsely. I do not know his goal yet, but whatever it is. He will achieve it or die trying.
So what is your goal? Think about it, and now, you can leave. Go and ditate about what you just saw. Do not let anyone else ever know what you just witnessed."
The disciples wanted to say sothing when the elder said, "You do not have to worry. I will protect him in case he is exposed to a greater degree of danger."
The people nodded and left the valley, but Wen Lengxue stood on the cliff. She said, "Elder, I will not return till I have taken my sword from him."
The elder replied, "Fine, take it, but you cannot fly over. You will have to take a step-by-step approach."
Wen Lengxue nodded in understanding and stood in her place. She also knew it would be difficult to advance in such circumstances. The lightning was destroying even the void. How was she going to withstand it? When the spiritual pressure in the valley suddenly increased, Wen Lengxue was imrsed deep in her thoughts.
Shi Lang was condensing a sword from the spiritual energy of his core. His core seed to have been made up of clay. It was gradually shifting shape. From a round ball, it was turning into a long pin. That was not all, and Shi Lang was manipulating all of the spirit energy in his dantian to surround this pin.
These past few days, he has completely adjusted to the changes in his core. To beco an immortal soldier, the core must be instilled inside a spiritual weapon condensed inside the dantian of a person.
Shi Lang concentrated, and the spirit energy began to revolve, and slowly it began to twitch. However, the process was slower. The spiritual energy needed to develop sothing like this was too much, and even if the lightning was sufficient, it was not docile. He had to ta it by channeling it through his body and bearing the burn on his bones and skin.
His clothes were in tatters, and his body was shivering. The lightning was not taking breaks. It was like the heavens had decided to attack and destroy him. Shi Lang mumbled, "You are quite a stubborn spirit, aren't you?"
He was not talking to Raksha, but the treasure spirit controlled the lightning flow secretly. The lightning flashed again, hitting Shi Lang even harder this ti. The terran was poking the treasure spirit in the worst way possible. How can a treasure spirit that has been buried and contained in this region forcefully and needs an Immortal emperor to watch over it tolerate the remarks made by this cheeky guy?
Wen Lengxue watched all this, but she saw that after a few lightning hits, Shi Lang got to his feet and then walked forward to enter the valley's depths. His speed was slow; every strike of lightning pushed him back by two ters, and he was only moving forward a few feet while he was walking while controlling all that energy coursing through his body.
Wen Lengxue had to admit one thing, and Shi Lang was beyond her expectation. This level of dedication and commitnt that he displayed was sothing she had only seen in her father. Shi Lang did not flinch in the face of danger.
She sat down on the cliff, watching him move forward. The process of molding the spirit energy into a weapon form was also painful because the core of the weapon was made with dao comprehension engraved on it.
The man in front of her was very patient about things, and he did not utter even a groan from all the suffering he was going through. She contemplated the aning of strength, and her aura began churning. The guardian elder cast a thin barrier around her and mumbled, "Xiao Yao, your disciple is advancing. Co over and watch her."
...
i Lingyao was sitting in the pavilion sipping on tea when she heard a whisper in her ears. She was surprised and imdiately left the pavilion in a hurry. She did not expect i Lingyao to advance in her chase after Shi Lang.
It did not take her long to reach where the old man had called her. She found Wen Lengxue practicing in silence and cast a barrier around her. During the next mont, she froze.
Shi Lang was walking in the void, his body covered with lightning sparks. He was moving in a way he would practice his sword skills. His aura was rising, and the sword waves were shaking the void.
i Lingyao mumbled, "He is advancing to the Immortal soldier realm? This soon, why?"
The elder replied, "Yes, his foundation is strong and flawless. He can advance like none other people. You told that he is an ascender. He has already ford a sword embryo in danger and needs to refine it into a perfect sword gradually."
i Lingyao knew what the elder ant and watched Shi Lang gradually condense the sword.
After two days, Shi Lang finished shaping his long sword and awakened from his cultivation. He opened his palm, and a small sword-like blue blade appeared above his palm. The sword was covered with lightning streaks all over the place.
The terran nodded lightly and absorbed the sword back in his dantian. He turned around to look at the cliff and found Mie Lingyao. He wanted to go and et the lady when he shook his head and bowed deeply.
He said, "Thank you, elder, for guarding my safety."
Then he turned around and walked to the cliff. He saw i Lingyao and greeted her with a bow. The lady said, "Congratulations Xiao Lang."
The man bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher."
Lingyao smiled faintly and nodded. Shi Lang turned his gaze to look at Wen Lengxue and took out her sword. He took out the spirit sword from his space ring and then said, "Teacher, keep this sword and tell senior sister that her conviction has made her worthy of holding a sword again.
If not for the elder keeping a watch over her. She would have risked her life by jumping inside the valley. Please do a favor, and return this sword to her."
i Lingyao accepted the sword with both hands and said, "Thank you very much for returning the weapon that she cherished. I assure you, she will be worth it."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "After this, her path will never experience any obstacles that would hold her back."
i Lingyao nodded and said, "You are correct. Go finish consolidating your gains. You have been working hard."
Shi Lang nodded and left the lightning valley. Looking at his receding figure the lady said, "To think he will finish advancing in just two days. I underestimated his talent."
The guardian elder replied from the shadows, "No, you did not underestimate his talent, but also his will and his comprehension of Dao. He is not a normal person. I cannot help but feel that he sees all things from a different point of view. I wonder if we can learn from his reasoning skills."
