Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 606 Legendary Beasts.

Shi Lang and the rest were allocated one room each. They were given this preferential treatment because of the so-called business mind of Xia Jianxue. Xia Yuan did not break through the cold viel around Yun Xue and sensibly gave up. He had enough status to go and sleep with any beauty he wanted. When he saw the aloof gaze and veiled face, he told himself that Yun Xue was probably disfigured.

Yun Xue was clenching her jaw so tight that Shi Lang could hear the grating sound of her teeth. She was just an inch away from losing her sanity and castrating the Young Master of the Xia Family.

Bo Qingtan shook his head and said, "I am going back to my room and will come when the vessel departs."

Shi Lang did not react, but Yun Xue said, "I will return in, too. Otherwise, this vessel might not take off at all."

She flung her sleeves and left the deck. Shi Lang did not react and watched everything with a candid expression. He found a place on the vessel's bow and sat down to cultivate. His spear was placed inside his space ring to avoid scrutiny. After a few minutes, Xia Yuan bought over a batch of fifteen people and said, "The vessel is almost ready to leave. One of the crew members will bring you to the rooms designated for you."

As he said, a crew member came forward and led the people inside. Xia Yuan noticed Shi Lang sitting at the vessel's bow and walked over. The terran sensed his approach and opened his eyes. Xia Yuan said, "Sir Shi, it is advised that you stay inside your room. The legendary beasts on the Barrier Mountain Range are not very tolerant to the presence of humans."

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Do you mean they react violently?"

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "They are very spiritual, and their intelligence is similar to a human's. They look down on us as inferior creatures. However, they also know that such arrogance can entice a war. Thus, they have agreed with the elders to allow us to pass through the mountain range. On the condition that we do not get into their sights."

Shi Lang understood and sighed, "That is how the world of cultivators works. Those with strength are worshipped, and those without will have to stand in line."

Xia Yuan nodded to him. He wanted to say something more when Xia Jianxue arrived on the deck. She looked at the two people, and her eyes narrowed slightly. She walked over to his side and said, "Young Master Yuan, did you not tell Sir Shi the rules of this travel?"

Shi Lang replied, "The rules have already been clarified. I just wished to stay here. Now that you have arrived, I will go inside."

Xia Jianxue nodded and said, "Very well then."

Shi Lang walked back to the room designated to him, and using his ability, he sensed that Xia Jianxue and Xia Yuan also went inside the living room. The rooms were located under the deck. Night pearls illuminated them with a dim light. Shi Lang did not care. He sat on the cassock and started meditation.

After a few minutes, he sensed a mild tremor from the floor. The spirit vessel began to move in the void. Shi Lang could not help but think about his time in the eastern barren. At this moment, he was slightly emotional. He meditated to calm his state of mind.

...

While meditating, the young man had forgotten the sense of time. He was not trying to cultivate his realm. He was comprehending the sword techniques in his mind. He did not have to hurry with his realm now, but his skills.

Shi Lang lacked skills, and going to the central plains meant he needed skills. However, he was not a fool. He also knew what it meant to use the skills he received from Shadow Blade. He could not use them as they were. The people in the central plain were said to have deeper roots than what it seemed on the surface.

He needed to change a lot of things in the skills he used. Shi Lang was pondering over the skills and using them in his mind. When he was in a critical deduction stage, the spirit ship suddenly trembled. Shi Lang opened his eyes and sensed the spirit vessel. The vessel appeared to be normal. He could not tell the situation inside the rooms since they were all covered with an isolation array.

He sensed outside the spirit vessel and found a creature moving close to the spirit vessel. The close movement of the beast caused the tremor. Shi Lang could not believe that he could ever see a dragon.

This was not a beast that words could describe. Shi Lang did not know much about them and sighed, "One sight can set a person's heart astray. What a terrible aura."

Indeed, the aura from the dragon sent a chill down his spine. Shi Lang had considered himself very fearless, but once again, he found himself in a situation where he could not control anything. Even himself, let alone others.

The dragon quickly moved away, but Shi Lang's heart was unsettled. He could not help but feel restless and stood up inside the room. He began punching the air and diverting his mind from everyone around him.

The trick worked, and soon, his mind was attached to the techniques in his mind. Shi Lang took out a wooden sword and began deducing the sword arts. He was lost in the deduction and forgot the flow of time. His eyes were devoid of emotions, and he found the essence of the sword art.

During this journey, he spent most of his time in meditation. The only disturbance was the tremor in the vessel body. He saw a few more legendary beasts, like the golden crow and the ice luan. These beasts' impact was so strong that the entire ship would either freeze from the outside or the vessel's bow would be left with burn marks or cuts.

Shi Lang was astonished not at these beasts' power but at the protection array they had set up on the vessel. The damage was external. Shi Lang found that this layer of array patterns was made of wood bark. It was like a paper pasted in layers.

This sort of thing was very budget-friendly. He could not help but remember how the remnant of Immortal Sovereign Myriad Titan said that the ancestor of the Xia family was a fox. The old man passed his cunning wits to everyone without dilution.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the void, "Xia Jianxue, come out."

Shi Lang was surprised, and so were the others. The doors opened slowly, and the people peeked out. A voice sounded in his mind, "Do not step out until you are cleared to do so."

Shi Lang then found the old lady walking out of the living quarters. She was going to the deck. The terran had sensed an old man with long hair and a blue robe standing there. He did not use the spirit consciousness and told the other two not to use it.

Because... "Hmph, impudent juniors dare to peek at me."

A casual snort caused the people to cough up blood. Shi Lang looked at the two people across him, saying, 'Told you so.'

Xia Jianxue reached the deck and greeted the person with great humility. She even bowed, "Greetings, Senior. What can I do for you?"

The elder gazed at her nonchalantly and said, "I asked for a Spirit herb as a toll of this trip. Where is it?"

Xia Jinaxue took out a jade box and said, "Senior, this is the herb you asked for. It is a millennial."

The old man curled his fingers, and the box flew over to his palm. He opened the box and then quickly closed it as he said, "Very well, you may leave now."

Like the rest of the people, Shi Lang was curious about what the old lady handed over to this guy. Xia Jianxue stood on the deck with her back bowed as she watched the old man vanish from the spot. She said, "Captain Gao, move it."

The spirit vessel moved quicker, and Xia Jianxue returned to the living quarters. She did not mind the people and was heading for her room when ShI Lang asked her with spiritual communication, "Senior, can you tell me what is this herb that could allow a Legendary beast to let us go?"

Xia Jianxue paused in her tracks before she said, "Thousand years old, Samsara enlightenment tea leaves."

Her answer was similarly sent back in spiritual communication. Shi Lang was frozen in place. He did not expect the Tianxu Pavillion to have given away something that extravagant. He did not mind going to war with these guys for a spoonful of that heavenly natural treasure.

For a second, he wanted to give up humanity and be reborn as a legendary beast.
