Shi Lang gazed at the corpse of the beast sovereign and propelled his mech up in the void. Hou Bing asked, "What are you doing?"


    The Terran replied, "I have two spirit beast kings, the blood essence and Dao Core of this guy will be useful for their cultivation."


    Hou Bing nodded and Shi Lang used the vibration de to cut open the skin of the dead beast. The protection of spiritual energy did not exist any longer. Shi Lang finished harvesting the core and the heart filled with blood essence. He even took some flesh from the corpse to share it with his friends and family upon return.


    This guy was a big fish and filled with nutrition. The beasts living in the river would consume whatever was left of the whale. After he finished with it, he jumped back to the northern bank of the river. He came out of the mech and stored it back in his space ring.


    Hou Bing asked, "Why do you not use it to advance?"


    Shi Lang replied, "It runs on spirit energy and consumes a lot of it at that. Also, the bigger size will make it easier for the enemies to detect it."


    Hou Bing nodded and replied, "I did not expect you to think that deep into the subject."


    Shi Lang said, "You underestimate me a bit too much."


    He did not mind her riding his head as he moved deeper in the northern mountain range. After running for a few kilometers, he asked, "Hou Bing, you were going to guide me to that secret realm, right?"


    Hou Bing nodded and replied, "The thing is that the secret realm we are seeking is not easy to find. Even if I can sense the space fluctuations that ce is hidden so well by the naturalws that I might miss it even if it''s right before me."


    Shi Lang asked calmly, "How do we find it then?"


    Hou Bing sighed and said, "Kid, I hate to break it to you, but I have no idea what to do in this situation. If only you could explore the entire northern range. This ce is not explored by many people in the past seven thousand years or even more than that."


    Shi Lang thought about it and said, "Not a bad idea."


    He controlled his pores to secrete some blood and waved his hand to stter the blood around the ce. Hou Bing was confused when the blood began to squirm and a dozen clones appeared before her eyes. She was so shocked that her eyes widened. Shi Lang said, "Go explore."


    He gave all the people a camera also. These clones were going to explore the northern mountains and recording will be stored in the database for the future reference. As he dispatched the clones, hismunicator buzzed. He epted the connection and found Shi Tao looking at him with an anxious face. He asked, "What happened, Tao? Is everything okay?"


    Shi Tao sighed and shook her head as she said, "Baba, you left her here, and now many of the soldiers are closer to mental breakdown."


    Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "The training regime is that hard?"


    Shi Tao nodded hesitantly. She added, "I have tried it, and barely made it. It is not for everyone."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Give me some time, I will think of a solution."


    His words were enough to calm Shi Tao''s mind. The call disconnected and Hou Bing asked, "What the hell is going on? Why was there a phantom over your wrist? Why did so many people like you emerged? Tell me, what is going on?"


    Shi Lang replied, "The clones were my technique. That should be enough for you. Second, this is not a phantom but amunication device from the lower realm."


    Hou Bing did not care about things like this and began to ask him a lot of questions about life on the lower realm. Shi Lang had to tell her about it all. In the end, Hou Bing was impressed by how the people in the lower realm lived.


    Shi Lang found himself a cavern and sat down there to cultivate in silence as they waited for the clones to report about the situation. However, he was unable to concentrate on the situationpletely.


    Hou Bing asked, "What are you worried about?"


    Shi Lang replied, "My daughter called me because an expert I introduced is making things harder."


    He gave Hou Bing all the details about Allure and his encounter with her. The blue sparrow asked, "Why don''t you call her over here? I am strong enough to restrain her and she will be helpful in dealing with the spirit beasts."


    Shi Lang thought about it and asked, "How is that possible? You could not handle the Immortal Sovereign in the river. How will you deal with Allure? She is a legendary beast you know."


    Hou Bing chuckled and said, "Kid, do you really think I am that pathetic? I could have killed that little fish in a blink of an eye if I wanted to. Also, my bloodline is still intact, I can suppress that legendary beast with ease as well. The only reason I did not transform into a human is because I had to give birth to my child."


    As she said thosest words, her voice lowered. Shi Lang gazed at her and said, "I supposed time does not heal all the wounds, right?"


    Hou Bing nodded and said, "It is as if my heart has a hole in it. I do not know what to fill it with. That is also the reason why my strength is also dwindling."


    Shi Lang nodded and then asked, "Can you not have another child?"


    Hou Bing shook her head and replied, "It is not as easy for us to have a child like you think it is. Holy beasts are born naturally and we can only have a child when we decide to unite with the origin of it all. Such a chance is only one time opportunity for us."


    Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "It seems that being the heavens favorite is not easy at all. You do have to pay the price."


    Hou Bing nodded and shook her head as she said, "Call over that fox. I will tame her."


    Shi Lang nodded and raised hismunicator to call Shi Tao. He said, "Tao, get Allure toe to me. You have my location, right?"


    Shi Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Baba."


    The call was disconnected, and Shi Lang could tell that Shi Tao was happy and excited to see off the big demon.


    He and Hou Bing sat in the cavern talking about their lives and their thoughts over many different things. The two were bonding, and learning from each other. They spent two days talking and meditating, when suddenly, Shi Lang opened his eyes and said, "She is here."


    Hou Bing opened her eyes and saw Allure walking inside the cavern. The legendary beast saw Shi Lang and said, "Why did you call me here?"


    Shi Lang did not reply her, but Hou Bing released her pressure and Allure fell to her knees as her eyes widened in shock. She kowtowed, "Forgive me, Your Excellency."


    Hou Bing said, "Stay there for a bit."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Hou Bing, we have a good news. They have found the secret realm entrance."


    Hou Bing nodded and said, "Let''s go there."


    Shi Lang waved his hand and opened a void tunnel inside the cavern only. He said, "Let her off, we will need her where we are going."


    Allure was shocked to see that Shi Lang was talking to the Holy Beast like this. She could not understand how he managed to do that, but if Shi Lang decided to throw the entire Titan Mountain Range into chaos and subjugation, no one would be able to stop him from that, not even the strongest dragon n.


    ...


    Two humans and one bird came out of the void tunnel. They found themselves surrounded by green and blue, a burst of color that could possibly not exist in the northern mountains due to the cold.


    Hou Bing said, "Oh, this is needed the entrance of that secret realm."


    Shi Lang made a hand seal and dissolved all the clones he sent out. Hou Bing said, "Kid, the second test is to perceive the natural array and to get inside the realm. You have seven days only before this entrance moves away."


    The Terran looked around at the mesmerizing view and said, "It is a bit too tight."


    Hou Bing nodded and said, "I cannot help you much, it goes against my Dao Path. I can only guide you. However, you are not alone."


    She turned to look at Allure and said, "You will help him, right?"


    Allure nodded her head rapidly and forcefully as she said, "Yes, Your Excellency."
